NEEDS GUM CONTROL

My 23-year-old daughter has receding gums but was told that there's nothing she can do. She has perfect teeth and hasn't had any dental work. Does anyone know why this is happening to someone so young? Can she stop it?

COLITIS CONCERN

I'm hoping someone can suggest natural or homeopathic remedies for collagenous colitis, an inflammation of the colon that causes abdominal pain. I am concerned with having to remain on medication for a long time.

WANTS LESS OF A SCAR

It's been five months since I had a small mole taken off my back, and a scar remains. Does anyone have a natural, tried-and-true method for healing scars?
