PPIs being shoved in IVs as routine in hospitals
I am not a doctor, a nurse, a chemist/scientist -- but it doesn't matter, because I've experienced hell on earth because of trusting a few doctors.
Hospitals putting PPI drugs in the IV to “prevent stress ulcers”
By Meredith A. Iager
Most hospitals in the US put people on Protonix or whichever pharmaceutical is paying the hospital to keep people ill or kill more organs (with their PPI of choice) causing more surgery, and chronically being ill, killing the GI tract, because the drug causes inflammation -- what it can heal in two weeks at 40mg a day.
Now you know this sent me through the roof -- one time when I was in the hospital after I had only learned some of this about 3 years ago and maybe the Dr. was just extremely green, but they actually “offered” me Protonix like it was a cocktail (I was already frightened to death because I knew the protonix murdered my gallbladder in less than nine weeks and cause severe pancreatitis and I was also misdiagnosed with something else at the time and had severe chronic inflammation in my digestive tract caused by the PPI and had that for over a year, I also lost a very significant amount of weight in less than five weeks). Their reasoning for giving people protonix in the hospital is “so people don't contract a stress ulcer.” They put PPI's in people's IVs to keep them ill in the hospital, and make them lose more organs, and ultimately can kill them. Their stories of people going in for routine surgeries, winding up hitting severe pain in their stomach and upper right quadrant, which is a gallstone forming very fast 5 to 7 days.
Stress can cause you to get sick like the common cold -- it does NOT cause an ulcer in 10 min. of being in the ER. We can contract infection when our immune system is compromised, but for God’s sake blocking the stomach acid for no reason can cause you to get a severe infection, not to mention all the other things that happen when you have no stomach acid. If you're in the hospital you better have some stomach acid because there are all kinds of germs flying around the air through a “hospital,” and you remember as you age, you have less and less stomach acid.
On an article or forum posting on all nurses.com in 2011, some intelligent nurses were writing posts saying -- why are people being given these PPI drugs in an IV, when you can contract infection from having no acid among the host of other problems having no acid causes. Some of these nurses were really stupid and saying how wonderful Protonix was (oh and it is a miracle when you need it for two weeks because a drug cause mucosal lining damage-- but it is a murderer when you're on it and you had nothing wrong with you) and the smart ones are actually questioning their own jobs and the morality behind this, because they actually had morals however their taking all the direction from a Dr. -- a crazy Dr. in the emergency room or the actual general admitting areas of the hospital.
Once you have delved into this problem and gotten screwed over and are trying to fight your way back to health (and you can do so the getting to one of these integrative wellness centers getting the appropriate blood work and significant testing and get low doses of vitamin C and other things that have been extremely depleted because you're duodenum and other things inside your digestive system were heavily battered and you have not been absorbing essential vitamins and minerals properly) you start to realize certain things and put pieces together – it has taken me over three years to piece things together.
