Your natural digestive
system keeps you healthy.

DON’T MESS WITH IT.

Reflux occurs when the valve that keeps the contents of your stomach from flowing up into your esophagus stops functioning. Reflux is not caused by stomach acid. It is a chronic condition caused by the esophageal valve not closing properly.

Less acid doesn’t mean less reflux.

Taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), like Prilosec® and Nexium®, won’t cure reflux. They
help manage the symptoms by suppressing acid production, but the esophageal valve is
still not working properly, and PPI use won’t fix it.

PPIs for Life? Not anymore!

Overuse of PPIs increases the likelihood of infections, dementia, osteoporosis, kidney disease and esophageal cancer.
Since PPIs don’t cure reflux, many people find that they are dependent on taking increased doses multiple times per day to get symptom relief.

“My last straw was laying on the floor in the bathroom getting sick from just taking my medicines with a glass of water before I went to bed one night. I was just completely over it.”

Eventually, your esophageal valve will need to be rebuilt to put a stop to reflux and avoid further damage to your body. With the TIF procedure you now have an effective procedure that’s clinically proven to work.

Waiting is a losing proposition.

Reflux gets worse over time. And your body pays the price. When invasive surgery was the only option, many people delayed taking action. Now with the TIF procedure, there is no reason to allow reflux to wreck havoc on your digestive system, throat, mouth and lungs.

Esophageal Cancer (adenocarcinoma) has increased over 600% in the past 3 decades.5

It is the fastest growing cancer
in the US and other western countries.

Acid reflux/GERD is a primary risk factor.5

Symptoms often occur after the cancer has spread.5

There are NO routine or standard screenings to detect esophageal cancer in early stages.5

 
Frequent, untreated GERD may progress to Barrett’s Esophagus, a condition where stomach acids eats away the lining of the esophagus. Cells that are similar to the acid-resistant cells of the stomach replace the damaged cells. These cells can become cancerous, leading to adenocarcinoma.
