How do enzymes aid in digestion?

Wholeistic Solutions FAQ
Enzymes are catalysts, an integral part of the digestive process. They initiate or speed up a reaction. These enzymes come from two sources, those found in the food itself, and those produced in the body. When food is ingested, enzymes are released in the mouth (ptyalin) that aid in breaking open carbohydrate cell walls. As the food progresses through the digestive tract, other enzymes are released.

Do acid medications cure acid reflux?

HeartburnHelp.com: Heartburn and GERD FAQ
Heartburn medications control acid production in the stomach so that symptoms related to acid reflux don't occur, but these medications don't fix the anatomic cause of GERD. For example, if the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that normally stops stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus is weak and stays open, acid from the stomach can push back into the esophagus, causing heartburn. The LES is strengthened after the minimally invasive surgery corrects the anatomical cause of GERD.

How do they aid in digestion?

Frequently Asked Questions about enzymes and probiotics
Digestive enzymes break down the elements of food; the proteins, fats, oils, carbohydrates, glucose/sugars, and fiber, into their essential basic units for absorption. They also release plant minerals, and provide systemic help against inflammation and protein based allergies. While these enzymes are present in raw foods, they are eliminated in cooked or processed foods. This means the body is called upon to produce them and it does place a stress on the system.

Should I use medications or surgery to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), SVCMC; New York NY
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) develops when stomach acid and juices back up, or reflux, into the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This happens when the valve between the lower end of the esophagus and the stomach (the lower esophageal sphincter) does not close tightly enough. GERD most commonly occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes at the wrong time (that is, when you are not swallowing) and remains open too long.

Will children taking these medications for ADHD become drug addicts?

Duke ADHD Program – Frequently Asked Questions
Actually, it appears to be just the opposite. Although an increased risk of drug abuse and cigarette smoking is associated with childhood ADHD, this risk appears mostly due to the ADHD condition itself, rather than its treatment. In a study jointly funded by the NIMH and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, boys with ADHD who were treated with stimulants were significantly less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol when they got older.
