My two year-old daughter is starting to throw terrible tantrums. If I don't give in to what she wants, she cries so much that she vomits. I am at my wit's end. What can I do?
This can be a difficult situation, especially when out of the house; therefore, it needs to be tempered as quickly as possible.
Most children who vomit easily with lots of crying and screaming typically had issues with gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD) as infants. This condition typically heals itself over the first year of life, but approximately 5% continue on until older. Those adults are the target
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
by Kimberly Hays October 9th, 2012 | Health Observance
Breast cancer came to the forefront in the 1980’s when former first lady Betty Ford, along with her daughter, Susan, told of fighting the disease. Prior to that, people didn’t talk much about breast cancer. With sharing this experience, an open dialogue started, which encouraged health organizations to bring more attention to the disease. This led to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month being established.
In 2009, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month began to bring even more awareness to the public. Although October is the month of observance, all of the non-profits and government organizations that participate are active all year

Liked – But Not by Everyone
by Lori Sciame October 8th, 2012 | Relationships
Throughout a person's life, he or she comes in contact with hundreds of people. Some of these meetings will result in friendships, either temporary or lasting, some will even lead to love; however, not every meeting will end on a good note. In life, there will be times when a relationship ends badly. Realizing this early on can save a sensitive person a lot of heartache.
Relationships occur at school, at work, at church, and in recreational settings. It's a rush to meet someone new that shares similar values and goals - someone with whom you feel a connection. Although

The Shingles Vaccine
by Dean Heller MD October 5th, 2012 | Ask the Doctor
My doctor wants me to get a vaccine for shingles. I get the flu vaccine every year, so I am reluctant to get another vaccine, is this necessary?
The Shingles vaccine is very good at preventing shingles, which can be a very painful rash in people who were previously exposed to the chicken pox virus. It can also prevent complications from shingles. If you are over age 60 it is recommended. So if your doctor thinks it is a good idea, so do we.

Medication and Stigma
by Jessica B. October 4th, 2012 | Mental Health
Rarely does anyone suggest that you would be better off treating your Type I diabetes with all organic foods rather than using insulin, many people find it realistic to suggest alternative medicines to the strong medications that people suffering from mental illness are required to take. Many of these people are even health professionals.
Last year, a close friend of mine, and long-time sufferer of bipolar disorder, was told by her chiropractor that she needed to stop taking such poison and focus on alignment and raw foods. My friend was feeling good at that point and took the advice. Six
