Indeed, blueberries are a fruit native to the United States. According to The Berry Bible by Janie Hibler, wild blueberries started growing in North America after the last Ice Age, doing well in the acidic soil that was left by the retreating glaciers. There is evidence that early man used them as a source of food and medicine, eating them fresh, dried and smoked. Pemmican, a mixture of the berries and deer meat or fat, was created as a hearty, high-protein, portable meal. Blueberry roots were brewed into tea and used as a remedy for the pain of childbirth and the juice helped a bad cough. Yankee troops during the Civil War were the recipients of the first canned wild blueberries from Maine.

Dear Dr. Gott: Is there any home remedy for GERD? I am on Zegerid, watch what I eat, have the head of my bed elevated and still can't get rid of the midsternal indigestion. I have had a thorough medical workup. Dear Reader: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is acid reflux that occurs regularly. The ring of muscles that separates the stomach from the esophagus is either weak or fails to close properly. Symptoms present when the backwash of stomach acid enters the esophagus and, as you are likely aware, can include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, a burning sensation, pain, dry cough, bad breath and more.
I was on reflux drugs like omeprazole (PPIs) for more than 10 years and even had surgery for severe reflux. I was determined to get off the PPIs, so I started drinking ginger tea, eating crystallized ginger when acute pain hit, snacking on several almonds every few hours and taking a teaspoon of honey at night before bed. It definitely helped ease the symptoms but did not eliminate the heartburn. Feeling discouraged, I ate some jalapeno-topped snacks even though my doctor had warned me to avoid anything hot. My reflux is now kept in check by jalapenos every few days without needing anything else! The reflux pain only returns if I go a week without eating any jalapenos.

A lesson parents can learn the hard way is how easy it can be to leave a child accidentally behind in a car seat -- and in danger. A new electronic gadget -- called the ChildMinder Smart Clip System -- alerts parents with a keychain alarm six seconds after an adult has moved more than 15 feet away from a child in a car seat.

You run to the drugstore at 11 p.m. for cough medicine and you're faced with 16,000 different brands," said Mr. Feldman, a Marblehead, Mass.-based creative director.
