By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=S._Wagner] S. Wagner In the long list of medications that I have had the displeasure to experience, Nexium is another one that tops the list. I've been personally battling against antacids for as long as I can remember, ever since I discovered how dangerous these drugs are. Nexium is probably one of the worst offenders as ultimately all it does is treat the symptom rather than the actual cause of the problem, which invariably comes down to diet. In this article, we're going to reveal the common uses for Nexium, what it does, the dangers it presents and finally some natural and effective altermatives. Nexium is the brand name for the drug Esomeprazole. It is available by prescription only and is commonly prescribed for acid reflux disease, which is mostly caused by poor diet. But we'll touch on that later. Nexium works by blocking acid production in the stomach. As I said, this only treats the symptoms and not the cause of the problem. As a matter of fact, the drug itself even states that it only treats the symptoms such as heartburn and acid indigestion. Naturally, because this drug only treats the symptoms, it needs to be taken on a regular basis whenever symptoms surface, thus creating a life long dependency on the drug. If it were just a matter of having to deal with minor side effects such as headache, diarrhea, nausea, gas, stomach pain, constipation, or dry mouth, taking this drug wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, though there are certainly better alternatives. The bigger problem is the serious side effects that can occur from this drug which include severe stomach pain, persistent nausea, vomiting, dark urine, and with long term use, vitamin B 12 deficiency, which can cause a myriad of problems by itself. The makers of Nexium state the your doctor is prescribing this drug for you because he feels the benefits outweigh the potential risks. That's a euphemistic way of saying "Even though this drug may kill you, we feel it beats having heartburn." Personally, I'd rather have a little heartburn. If it sounds like I am down on the drug companies, I am. Drugs almost killed me. Today, I live a healthy, all natural life style and don't have to take one drop of medication. Nexium was one of the first things that I said goodbye to as it almost killed me. Today, with a sensible diet and regular exercise, I don't recall the last time I even had to burp, let alone have heartburn, which used to wake me up just about every night. The point is, Nexium and just about all drugs are dangerous. The human body wasn't meant to be treated with medication. It was meant to be treated by eating healthy and taking care of yourself.
