Re: colic remedy?

[Guest guest]

I am not aware of what Dr. has to say on the issue of colic, but I

can tell you what I did, 28 years ago for a very colicky baby.

I brewed a cup of fennel tea and then put one ounce of tea per 3 - 6 ounces

of water with a 1/2 teaspoon of Karo syrup (sweet corn syrup). I fed this

to my son before meals and within a day or two the colic subsided greatly,

and was gone soon after. I stopped feeding him grocery bought baby food

and made his food in a blender using the same things I ate, just mushed up

with added water. It resolved the issue for us. My baby is now a very

healthy 28 year old.

I have no idea what causes colic, but those same symptoms in adults, gas

and bloating with pain, are always caused by foods we are allergic to or

lack of digestive enzymes, not to mention bad bacteria in the gut. If you

apply that thinking to an infant, then my guess would be the food ingested

by the baby, or the food ingested by a nursing mother that ultimately gets

to the baby, is not digestible.

Our holistic doctor (MD) once said colic is most common in first born males,

starting at 4 months. He advised biling sliced celery and

parsley for 20 minutes, then giving the liquid in a bottle. Claimed boiling

releases the calcium from inside the celerry cell walls.

Worked like a charm. I forget the proportions.

Hi Nelda,

I thought I sent this to you a couple of days ago, but I don't see it

in the archives so I am sending it again.

This (below) is what Dr. wrote about colic in the back of her

syncrometer manual, under the heading " Unified Theory of Disease " .

Elsewhere in the book she writes that turmeric and fennel are

effective for E. coli.

Anyone else notice the similarity....between " E. coli " and " colic " ?

Good luck. My now 30 year old first born boy was very colicky even

though he was entirely breast fed...wish I'd had all this info back

then.

" A baby with " colic " has E. coli invading the bowel where other nicer

bacteria should be. The baby screams with pain attacks but we simply

pat it, carry it, rock it and wait for the baby to " outgrow it " . By

this time, E. coli has become a regular part of the flora.

Enough has been passed to the baby, by fecal contamination of adult

and sibling fingers finding their way into baby's mouth, to guarantee

this part of the flora will be like the family's and bring the ills

of E. coli to the new baby to last a lifetime. What does E. coli do

over a lifetime? In childhood it continues to bring mood and temper

attacks and flatulence. In teenage it brings pimples, especially on

the face.

In middle age it brings a potbelly, small eruptions of the skin,

especially at the tip of the nose and face. Then headaches and bowel

disturbance, a bad mood, fatigue and a desire to nap. In older age,

E. coli gives us boils and ulcers in the skin as they escape from the

bowel where immunity is no longer strong. They may work their way to

the skin along special routes that never stop; producing skin

blemishes that never completely clear up.

But they don't bring anything more serious than that. And if that

were all, they would be considered quite innocuous. They can, of

course, bring massive illness when food is grossly contaminated. "
