Freedom Comes At The Bottom

One of my favorite movies of all time is Fight Club. This movie is considered by many to be one of the great movies of a generation.

What does it have to do with fitness? What about health?

Well, Fight Club at its essense is really about relationships. The relationships we have with others, and especially, I believe with the relationship that we have with ourselves.

its only after weve lost everything

Fight Club also teaches us that even when we think that life is fine that we are likely wrong. The boredom that we feel sitting on the couch watching TV to enlighten us is not the same as true enlightenment that we find from experiencing life to it’s fullest.

Accept that you can be better. Accept that you are not close to where you want to be. When you realize that you know just how far the climb is to your Greatest Self

Does Nexium Cause Kidney Problems?

I have just run across a study released today that seems to show that there is an elevated risk of Kidney damage by taking certain stomach drugs, called PPIs (proton-pump inhibitors), like Nexium or Prilosec.

In the very large study by John Hopkins involved looking at two studies which followed over 250,000 people over 10 years and found that people taking a drug like Prilosec or Nexium had just over a 12% higher risk of chronic kidney disease.

 

An estimated 15 million Americans use these PPI drugs,

“They’re very, very common medications,” says Morgan Grams, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health who led the research, being published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

The History of PPI Drugs

NexiumWhen PPIs were first approved in the 1980s, the drugs appeared to be very safe. Since then, concerns have been rising about their safety. Evidence has emerged that the drugs may increase the risk for a variety of problems, including bone fractures,infections and possibly even heart problems.

Morgan Grams and her colleagues decided to examine whether PPIs might increase the risk for chronic kidney disease.

They examined the medical records of two groups of people: 10,482 participants in the Artherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study and 248,751 patients in the Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania.

Among the 322 people using PPIs in the ARIC study, the 10-year estimated absolute risk for chronic kidney disease was 11.8 percent, the researchers reported.

The expected risk would have been 8.5 percent. The 10-year absolute risk among the 16,900 patients using PPIs in the Geisinger Health System was 15.6 percent, whereas 13.9 percent would have been expected to develop chronic kidney disease.
