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.

Heartburn Touches Millions

Did you know that...

• Over 60 million people experience heartburn at least once a month?
• Over 30 million of heartburn sufferers believe it is impossible to live heartburn-free?
• One-third of heartburn sufferers feel that they will never be able to enjoy the foods they love again.

These numbers are staggering to me because there's no reason for this many people to be suffering from heartburn. If they only knew that heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux can be controlled naturally without pills then these numbers would be much less.

I used to be one of these heartburn sufferers until I discovered that I could control my heartburn and acid reflux very easily through natural heatburn prevention and remedies. Through my research I written a book and created a website to help other hearburn sufferers.

The book is called "The Heartburn Cure" and the heartburn website is called "The Heartburn Authority". I've created this blog to bring awareness to natural heartburn remedies and to help other heartburn sufferers find my information packed website.

The website discusses in detail heartburn and other digestive disorders. Feel free to leave a post with any questions you may have and visit my heartburn website.

What Is Acid Reflux, Indigestion, and Heartburn?

Unfortunately Heartburn, Indigestion, and Acid Reflux are used a lot to describe heartburn pain. However, there is a difference between them.

Heartburn is typically a symptom of Acid Reflux with a burning sensation right behind the breast bone. Severe heartburn is sometimes mistaken for a heart attack by some heartburn sufferers. Heartburn is considered a medical condition.

Indigestion and heartburn are very similar and are typically treated with the same OTC heartburn medications like antacids. A lot of the times the symptoms for heartburn and indigestion are the same. Indigestion can actually cause heartburn, but heartburn can't cause indigestion pain.

Acid Reflux is actually quite different than both heartburn and indigestion. Heartburn can be a symptom of acid reflux. Acid reflux is where the acid from your stomach makes its way up your esophagus, which can cause a burning sensation in your throat. When I get acid reflux it feels like being filled to the brim with food. So I try to eat smaller meals to keep the stomach acid low in my stomach.

In my last post I mentioned The Heartburn Authority. This is a great website for all three of these digestive disorders.
