Long-term stomach medication becomes unresponsive? Aluminum in acid preparations is a potential concern
A human test found that the concentration of aluminum in the blood of asthma patients is more than three times that of normal people, resulting in higher oxidative stress in the body than normal people, an increase in the speed of aging, and a higher chance of developing chronic diseases, which may also lead to neuropathy and other complications of aluminum poisoning. Experts point out that asthma patients need to take medication for a long time and worry about hurting their stomachs, so most of the prescription medications will provide acid-making agents containing aluminum at the same time, and the higher aluminum content in the bodies of asthma patients may be related to this.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, director of the Sheng-Pu Chinese Medicine Clinic, said that modern people are under great pressure, the majority of stimulating ingredients in the diet, resulting in gastroesophageal reflux, excessive stomach acid patients are increasing, most patients more to stomach medicine, stomach milk to relieve symptoms, and many chronic diseases treated with drugs, will also use stomach medicine to reduce the damage to the stomach, in the long run, but endanger gastrointestinal health.
Gastric drugs mostly contain aluminum acid suppressing gastric acid secretion, causing gastric acid cells to atrophy and degenerate, which may lead to atrophic gastritis, gastric mucosa atrophy, and reduced gastric digestive function over a long period of time, causing digestive problems instead.
Stomach acid is the body’s first bactericidal process, which can effectively remove most of the germs and toxins in food. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee mentioned that if the long-term use of acid, will reduce the secretion of gastric acid, gastric acid disinfection and bactericidal function will not be able to fully play, often increasing gastrointestinal bacteria, gastrointestinal flora ecological imbalance, further triggering enteritis or intestinal mucosa lesions.
In addition, long-term use of gastric drugs will cause excessive concentrations of aluminum in the blood, increasing the risk of “dementia” (Alzheimer’s disease). Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that the acid preparations of aluminum, magnesium, calcium and phosphate biochemical interaction, accelerating the body’s calcium depletion, resulting in osteoporosis, but also seriously interfere with the absorption of antibacterial drugs, so that the effect of antibacterial agents reduced or all ineffective. Too much stomach medicine, in fact, more harm than good!
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that Chinese medicine views gastric disease not only as a problem with stomach health, but also with heart, kidney and liver health. In general, patients with kidney stones often suffer from gastric distention. Heart disease is also common in patients with chest tightness, flatulence and acid reflux. People with poor liver function tend to feel depressed and also suffer from right hypochondriac stuffiness, flatulence, and irregular bowel movements.
Taking Chinese medicine will not hurt the stomach like Western medicine, mainly because Chinese medicine focuses on promoting blood circulation, regulating metabolism to achieve the results of treatment. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that the circulation of qi and blood is good, when the nutrition enters the stomach, it can be fully digested and absorbed by the intestines, so that the problem of excessive stomach acid does not occur, the heart, liver, kidney and other health problems can also be improved.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded that life stress is also the main cause of gastric disorders. Many studies have confirmed that emotional stress will make the duodenum and small intestine atresia, causing intestinal constriction, while triggering stomach pain, if not properly relieve the pressure, relying on taking stomach medicine to relieve pain discomfort, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, in the long run not only easy to hurt the stomach, but also drag down the whole body health. Therefore, in order to cure stomach problems, or should start by changing life, a smooth mood, the gastrointestinal natural gas does not reflux, to know that all the digestive cycle of the human body is a one-way cycle of one-way road.
