Mayer Eisenstein, Chicago Physician and author of Don't Vaccinate Before You Educate, has definite views on a controversy that has arisen regarding the prescribing on acid inhibitors in the hospital and patients contracting pneumonia while in hospital because of it. A link has been drawn between the bodies ability to fight off the pneumonia virus and the amount of acid working in the stomach; meaning that low levels of acid from the ingestion of acid blockers creates a welcome environment for the pneumonia virus lurking in the hospital setting.
The AMA Journals Reports this:
"An estimated 33,000 deaths a year from hospital-acquired pneumonia may result from the practice of routinely prescribing proton pump inhibitors and other acid-suppressing drugs during hospitalization to patients who don't need them. Use of acid-reducing drugs was associated with a 30% increased risk for developing pneumonia in a newly reported study. These drugs, most often Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid, are prescribed to intensive-care patients to prevent stress ulcers as well as a wide-range of other hospital patients, were administered based on the idea they were "safe" medications.
"The drugs are typically given to reduce the risk of stress-related ulcers, which can be life threatening. But they are often prescribed to patients with a very low risk for developing the ulcers, says study researcher Shoshana J. Herzig, MD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard School of Medicine.
"Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been associated with a slight increase in community- acquired pneumonia risk in several recent studies. But the new research is the first to explore a possible link in hospitalized patients who don't require a ventilator to breathe and are treated outside intensive care units (ICUs)."
Dr. Eisenstein's Comment:
Most bacteria cannot thrive in an acid environment. By reducing the acid in the stomach many bacteria thrive. This can lead to an increase in pneumonia.
Go to Dr. Eisenstein's website at http://www.homefirst.com to hear the archived Webinar on this subject and he issues this warning, "I, along with many other doctors, believe that the Swine Flu may return with a vengeance this winter. Death from flu usually comes from a secondary pneumonia. Therefore, in addition to maintaining adequate levels of Vitamin D, I recommend that you get off of all Acid Reducing Pharmaceuticals. Use of them can lead to increased pneumonia which could result in death."
