Review
Many individuals who suffer from heartburn think this is not an important disease and are afraid to talk to their physicians. I hope this book will open their eyes. What's more, the book is truly a delight to read! -- Joel E. Richter, M.D., The Cleveland Clinic Foundation

5.0 out of 5 stars
*complete* and a good read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heartburn: Extinguishing The Fire Inside (Paperback)
you wouldn't think heartburn could be an interesting subject but this book was very readable. the information is easily understood and very complete. advice is given for all stages and conditions. i was burping 500-1000 times a day and frequently had chest pain unlike any heartburn i had known. i had seen a report on tv that got me thinking about heartburn and this was the one heartburn book in our library. the advice given prompted me to try an over the counter h2 blocker (pepcid ac) and the symptoms reduced dramatically almost immediately! but because the symptoms were not eliminated and indicate ulceration's, i am planning a trip to the doctor seeking a prescription for prilosec so my ulceration's can heal completely. i learned acid reflux can cause a host of problems with or without the accompanying symptom of heartburn and that life threatening ulceration's can develop with no symptoms whatsoever! the knowledge in this book should be useful to everyone at some point in their life and a god send to those suffering from acid reflux.

This review is from: Heartburn: Extinguishing The Fire Inside (Paperback)
If there is a better book on this subject, I've yet to find it. This one is logical, easy to understand, and well written. My copy is well-worn and highlighted on every page. If you have heartburn, read this book so you understand symptoms and the evolution of the various remedies. We live in a miracle age, there are drugs that can cure with no side effects. Thank you Michael Wolfe!
