Re: Have you taken any acid suppression medicines?
Keeping the topic well balanced - Five Myths about Organic Foods - although the article refers to the American view of the topic the same principles undoubtedly apply in UK and any other countries that have good practices and laws to protect the public and their food consumption/http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/five-myths-about-organic-food/2014/06/20/43d23f14-f566-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.html
incidentally organic food is usually more expensive than N-OG - so the vast majority of working class people in UK will probably never go there UNLESS all the N-OG foods can be removed from all supermarkets etc and replaced by N-ORG. the jury is still out on this one!

I would laugh... except I get the feeling you are serious..

Or whether they just groaned as the patient left thinking to themselves 'oh gawd, half-knowledge is such a dangerous thing'.

Re: Have you taken any acid suppression medicines?
Of course we're all entitled to our opinions, I personally cannot share your faith in the medical profession and if anything is amusing in this thread it is your blind, obsessive desire to defend it. Seriously the world won't stop spinning on its axis if you were just a tiny weeny bit critical.I think the fact that there are so many alternatives to the standard medical model indicates that there is huge dissatisfaction with it.
Whilst I wouldn't go to a herbalist with a broken leg I would not seek an industrial pharmaceutical remedy for acid reflux but obviously respect anybody's right to do just that.

It borders an amusing... but slides into pathetic now and then.
