I was a former user of Zantac, Losec and finally Nexium. I kept getting worse, needing stronger and stronger doses of these medications. I was certainly dependant on these drugs for many years.</p> <p>I read your article about the benefits of garlic, probiotics plus other helpful nutrition choices readily available to me which would address the real underlying problems. I was able over time to slowly ween myself off of my final drug, (Nexium - 40 mg tablets twice per day ), and remain without reflux symptoms. It is worth the investment in good nutrition and time to get oneself off of these drugs which will never fix the undrlying causes of acid reflux.</p> <p>Keep in control &nbsp;of your health everyone and stay healthy ! &nbsp;:))</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=40258" width="1" height="1">
