1) discussing the symptoms for which PPI’s are prescribed and the intended target of these drugs.
2) address any organelle(s) that could also be affected by these drugs.
3) Based on the function of that organelle, do the issues in the research paper make biological sense?
4) Propose an alternative approach for patients with these symptoms that would not require them to remain on PPI’s long term.
5) Does this address the source of their symptoms? What is causing their symptoms?
6) are there other reports of long term PPI use in the literature that should be of concern to physicians?
