Can Heartburn Lead To Cancer?

So the question is... "Can Heartburn Lead To Cancer?"

And the answer is yes! If you've been suffering from heartburn for any length of time and you've been taking antacids, over the counter medications, or prescribed medications then you could be at risk for Esophageal Cancer.

While this is not a very common form of cancer, it has risen to the number 6 leading cause of death among all cancers. The number of cases has risen 6 to 8 times of those in reported in the last 7 years.

A lot of researchers and doctors say that the medications for curing heartburn these days do such a good job of relieving the pain that most of the heartburn sufferers think that's all they have to do. In reality the medications are just masking the real problem of damaging their esophagous.

Esophageal Cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer with most patients dieing within a few months of being diagnosed. Only 15 percent of them will have a 5-year survival rate.

So how do you relieve yourself fromo the pain of heartburn with out anatacids or drugs? You do it naturally through natural heartburn remedies, herbs, and diet. This is what I've done and I've documented it my book "The Heartburn Cure", which can be found at www.the-heartburn-stop.com.

Take a look... you really have nothing to loose.
