The Truth
About GERD


Many of us know how uncomfortable heartburn can be. Fortunately, for most of us, heartburn occurs only occasionally when we eat large meals or spicy foods. But some people have frequent and even daily heartburn symptoms.

  When Wounds
Don't Heal


When you skinned your knee as a child, the wound most likely healed in a typical fashion: Your blood clotted. Your body's immune system helped fight infection. A scab formed and new, healthy skin grew underneath it.
  Helping Teens Cope

Feeling stressed? You're probably not the only one in your family who feels this way. Your children -- especially those in the teenage years -- may be having more difficulty coping with the challenges in their lives than you realize.
