Back to the Book

So, while all of this is going on with my heartburn and my tingly fingers I am reading the UltraMind Solution. In the book, Dr. Hyman has a whole section entitled, “The Dangers of Acid-Blocking Drugs”. He mentions Prevacid by name. He discusses the potential of these drugs to prevent proper food digestion, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and irritable bowel syndrome. He specifically mentions vitamin B-12 deficiencies. At the same time I did a google search on Vitamin B and found that Vitamin B deficiencies can lead to neurological problems, such as tingly hands and feet. It was all coming together and I didn’t like what I was seeing. I immediately quit taking the Prevacid. I have been off the Prevacid for 3 weeks and the tingly feelings in my hands and arms have nearly gone away.
