Research Scientist Claims Superior Acid Reflux Treatment Developed
(Houston, TX) A new acid reflux treatment has been developed that the inventor claims effectively controls acid reflux symptoms that almost 35% of Americans suffer with daily because current OTC and prescription medications fail to give them relief. On October 4, 2016, US patent number, 9,457,011, was granted to Muslim Shahid, president of Xcel Nutraceuticals, a small Houston-based company that sells natural and organic products via the internet.
The patented technology consists of the oral intake of any commercial proton pump inhibitor drug combined with a natural, non-toxic dithiolane antioxidant compound. Company studies have shown the combination regime to be far superior in eliminating gastrointestinal disorders and symptoms than standard prescription treatments which use proton pump inhibitors alone.
According to Mr. Shahid , the combination treatment is faster acting (participants realizing relief in 60–120 minutes vs. 2 days) than current GERD drugs like Nexium, Prilosec, Omeprazole, and the acid reflux inhibiting effects appears to be longer lasting (2 days vs. 1day). M.D Shahid says this new product technology may be an alternative for many acid reflux sufferers who want to avoid having laparoscopic surgery to control symptoms.
Mr. Shahid, a graduate of Texas Southern University and no stranger to the world of inventive technology, already holds 48 US patents with another patent pending in the area of gastrointestinal research. Mr. Shahid says the company is looking to conduct new clinical studies to further evaluate the technologies commercial potential and then establish licensing agreements with pharmaceutical companies or investors to help commercialize the new technology.
