Run of the mill bad advice with at least one useful story http://www.health.com/health/gerd Some of the related pages won't be that helpful as conventional medicine doesn't know how to treat GERD well and indeed even alternative medicine is hit and miss depending on who is doing it.

This is not something the Barrett rats are able to accept or the Alties seem to be able to repeat. I hope there are a couple of exceptions are on both sides of the fence but I fear this isn't the case. ... 14 Mar 2010 19:54
