Barrett’s Esophagus

"..The Barrett's is incurable; however, the disease was so improved in my esophagus that it did not show up in the test. I was thrilled!! I am convinced the pillow played the biggest part since my prescription had not helped that much before I began using the pillow."
- Joe Ann Key

The Cancer with the fastest growing diagnosis rate in the U.S. is Esophageal Cancer. Barrett's Esophagus can lead to Esophageal Cancer.

Frequent heartburn and GERD can lead to a more serious problem. Recent research has found that continued use of acid-suppressing heartburn medications without proper doctor supervision can dramatically increase the risk of developing cancer of the esophagus, the passage that connects the throat to the stomach.

In the last three decades, cases of esophageal cancers have increased quickly, and it is now the sixth leading cause of cancer death, says Jeffrey Hagen, MD, associate professor of surgery in the Keck School of Medicine of USC. The increase in esophageal cancer may be linked to an increase in use of more-effective antacids now available over the counter, he said. They are now the second-most commonly used drugs, after medications to reduce cholesterol

Possibly up to 3 million people have Barrett's Esophagus. There is no heartburn medication or anti-reflux surgery has been proven to make Barrett's Esophagus completely disappear or decrease the risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma (cancer). The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center states that 5-10% of patients with Barrett's Esophagus can have their condition develop into cancer. They have also found that the incidence of esophageal cancer per 100,000 people is the fastest growing cancer in the United States.

The new generation of antacids that go a step beyond Tums or Rolaids and actually reduce the amount of acid released in the stomach don't solve the underlying problem of a leaking stomach valve. Consequently, low-acid liquids that leak into the esophagus after taking one of the drugs irritate it in a new, more dangerous way, even though heartburn symptoms have disappeared, Hagen says. If continued, over time the cells lining the esophagus change, leading to an increased risk of cancer of about 40 times that of people with normal cells.

Most people undertake medication therapy without considering the consequences of long-term use of their prescription medications. Most doctors will tell you that medications will be necessary for the rest of your life. However, few people realize that it doesn’t have to be that way. A few simple life-style changes can greatly improve your long-term health, and may even lead to an end for continuous medication therapy.
