This is the story of a baby boy who presented Baby GERD at 4 weeks who was CURED in a few days.
I am copying the conversation with the mother to enable other mothers who may face the same problem with their babies to use the therapy aka “Joepathy” that I have pioneered using Nat Phos 6x which is not normally used by other Homeopaths as it is not in the textbooks they used in College.

My sweet baby boy had silent reflux from the age of 4 weeks he would constantly be clearing his throat, arch his back during feedings and would scream out in pain. He had to be held upright for at least an hour after feeding and most of the time he slept in his swing or my arms. At first we tried different formulas thinking it was due to a milk allergy, then being desperate I started him on prevacid per my pediatrician. Being concerned about side effects and not seeing any difference I stopped the prevacid and he started zantac at 6 weeks old. It seemed to help a little at first but the dosage of zantac had to be increased as he gained weight. I was again concerned with the effectiveness and side effects and researched to find a solution for my baby that would not cause any harmful side effects and that was natural.
I discovered Joe’s therapy for GERD and started my baby at 14 weeks old with the Nat Phos 6x. I immediately stopped using zantac. At first his reflux was a bit agitated, as he had more spit up that normal. However once I started consistently giving him a tablet AFTER a feeding his reflux and spit up was very mild- in just two days! After a full week following Joe’s therapy my little boy is so happy. There has not been any sign of pain and he rarely has spit up. Thank you Joe for your life experience I am so grateful for this solution for my baby’s reflux you have improved his quality of life and his parents!

I rejoice with you that your Baby son’s GERD has finally stabilized and that he is not suffering anymore.
It is a post like yours that reassures me that my efforts in treating patients with my Joepathy are not in vain.
I am happy to note that you are grateful for my part in treating him and am confident that your special thanks tomorrow on your Thanksgiving Day will add to the blessings that God has already bestowed on me.
I would like to record your case in the section “Articles” where I record the case in the patients own words, to be read by others who may wish to be reassured that my therapy can help them or their children. You can record your case in brief giving the pertinent details of your baby and the history of his case before and after you referred him to me.
You will be doing a favour to suffering humanity if you do spread the news of my Joepathy cure for Baby GERD.
You can continue to give him a full tablet for as long as you feel that it is necessary and taper the dosage to half and later you may stop the remedy. As you know, Nat Phos 6x is absolutely safe in use unlike the PPI drugs which are recognized as poisonous by the medics when used long term for adults and I dread to think of the damage that it can wreak in babies.
Do report Baby’s progress in life in the future and feel free to contact me anytime in the future if he or you the parents, ever wish to refer any medical case to me.

Dear Joe,
I have amazing news to report! My baby boy was doing so great today. Hardly any spit up or wet burps or fussiness after eating. He did not wake up with screams of pain from any naps. He was just a happy boy!!!
Now that we are seeing him stabilized what is the next step?
I am so relieved that he is not suffering anymore. THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving Day holiday and as we go around the table sharing what we are thankful for please know your name will be mentioned. I plan to share this experience and encourage Moms to use your therapy for their babies that have reflux or GERD.
In utmost gratitude,
Carrie Heward

Glad to note that baby has finally responded to the Nat Phos which in his case took a few days to stabilize, although it usually works within a few hours in the case of other patients.
You cannot possibly give him Nux V 30x as it is over a hundred thousand times more powerful than the 30c. It will not also help baby and will cause severe aggravation.
It is quite possible that baby will not want the Nux V at all judging by your latest news, and we will observe if my presumption is correct as he will be on Nat P for another 24 hours.
For the record, you will use just 6 pellets in 500ml or 10oz of water and a dose is just a teaspoonful.

Dear Joe,
Gabriel has done really well today being on full tablet of Nat Phos. He did not wake up with any screaming pains. He still has quite a bit of spit up. I was hoping to start the Nux Vomica but my husband picked up 30x not 30c and I know that is a huge difference in potency. I was not sure how to administer the 30x correctly and will have the 30c tomorrow. Can you advise how much water should be used for the 6 pellets and if I can add the teaspoon to a bottle or should it be after or before a feeding?
I look forward to hearing from you. I appreciate the time you’ve taken to assist us!
Kindest regards,

Dear Joe,
That is quite amazing to see all the changes and innovation that you have witnessed. That new express way sounds like it will make travel much easier.
I will make sure to use good spring water and just wanted to clarify if the amount of water used for dilution and how I administer the teaspoon makes a difference.
Thanks again- have a great night!

Look for spring water which is sourced either from deep bore wells or mountain streams where the water is pure.
To think that at my age I have the privilege of using the most modern technology including high speed Broadband which when compared to the dial-up service, I got in 1996 is just too good to be true.
We have had the equivalent of your Freeway which opened here a little over a year ago and the second opened a few weeks ago in time for CHOGM which was the Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting which concluded a week ago when 53 Nations from the world met here in Colombo. This second Express Way from the Airport to Colombo which used to take over an hour and half, is now just 12 minutes away.
And all this in my lifetime !

Hi Joe,
Thank you for the prompt reply. We will start the Nux Vomica 30c today along with a full tablet of Nat Phos. I presume that the bottle of water for dilution is standard 16 oz of water and the teaspoonful does it matter when I give it to him? Should I just add it to a bottle to be ingested during a feed or give it to him after with the Nat Phos?
From the images I’ve seen of Sri Lanka it looks like a beautiful place. It’s amazing how technology allows us to connect from across the world.
Again I appreciate your assistance in helping my son. As his mother I only want for him to be happy and healthy.

I would first give him Nux V 30c and you will use 6 pellets in a bottle of water and give him a teaspoonful twice daily.
This should normally reinforce the action of the Nat Phos 6x and we will observe how he responds for 2-3 days when he will most likely stop his throwing up.
Nat Phos 6x is absolutely harmless and he may want the full tablet till his normal digestive process kicks in.
Report progress.

Dear Joe,
Thank you for pursuing the purpose of life you have taken. It is restoring to humanity to encounter individuals like yourself. May God continue to grant you good health so you can continue in doing good works.
I appreciate the explanation you’ve given me on the Nux Vomica 30c it makes total sense the diluted version would be the recommended dosage and that was to be my next question. Since I can only find it in the pellet form what would be your instructions for dosage?
I wonder if it still maybe needed as today my baby Gabriel, still had much spit up(projectile) which he seemed to be upset and mildly fussy again. He never before Nat Phos 6x had much spit up as his reflux was silent. He has a strong swallow response and typically I could only hear the acid come back up then he would swallow it and scream. Today during two of his naps he let out a high pitched scream of pain I noticed he was swallowing when I went to check on him so I am assuming it could be acid or perhaps passing gas.
As I mentioned in a previous post I unfortunately could not breastfeed after 6 weeks and Gabriel is on Alimentum which is hypoallergenic formula that has the milk protein completely broken down. It is the only formula of the many we tried that he could tolerate. I should mention that due to formula use I incorporate the use infant probiotics to assist in his Gut health for his immunity as we have chosen not to vaccinate.
I do suspect that Gabriel does have a milk allergy as he has some eczema and redness around the anus. Would the Aethusa Cynapium 30 c still be of benefit in this case?
At this point would you recommend weaning him off the Nat Phos 6x? Would a 1/2 tablet every other feeding be the first step?
I am in SLC Utah and it is just about to get really cold and snowy soon. I suppose it is a fairly nice temperature in Sri Lanka. How long have you lived there?
Thank you again for sharing your wisdom with me and others!

Life is a continuous process of learning. I have celebrated my 84th Birthday a month ago and am in my 85th year and I do still continue to learn as I advance in years. I am also NOT a professional Homeopath as my therapy aka “Joepathy” is based on my observations like your report that half tablet of Nat Phos was more effective for your Baby than the whole tablet.
I do not like to prescribe Nux Vomica 6c but I did so as your a baby did not respond to the Nat Phos alone although he seems to have stabilized with the half tablet which I find rather strange.
You may like to know that in the ‘dilution’ at 30c the chances of any remedy ever hurting baby are very remote as at that potency the actual presence of the remedy, Strychnine is 1/100 to the power 30 or 100 multiplied 30 times over which will be virtually a number of zeros, around 30, that one cannot logically comprehend. In homeopathy we do go even higher like 1M or 1 Million, 10M etc. Every step higher makes the remedy more powerful and quite frankly I too refused to accept this, but when the remedy is used in helping a patient and it CURES, I have to admit that this theory is correct.
Glad you appreciate my service to suffering humanity which I shall do as long as God gives me life.
It occurs to me that baby many be allergic to your Breast Milk. You can get Aethusa Cynapium 30c which you will keep in hand but will not use till I say so.
Where do you live?

Dear Joe,
My little one did much better by giving him the nat phos 6x after a feeding. I did notice he had much more spit up and was more fussy after giving him a full tablet so I have continued to only give him a 1/2 dose after a feeding.
He still has a lot of spit up but is only mildly fussy which is the best improvement I’ve seen in 6 days of using Nat Phos 6x. He also continues to spit up quite a bit of his meal even an hour later and is upset and cries.
I am a bit concerned with giving him the Nux Vomica 30c due to the Strychnine and possible side effects. With your experience have any babies that have taken it experienced adverse side effects? Is there any other remedy that you could recommend that will assist in treating GERD with the Nat Phos 6x that would be as safe as Nat Phos 6x? Or perhaps you could better educate me on why Nux Vomica 30c is the best option.
Thank you for taking the time to assist me and my little boy. I am so grateful that there are amazing human beings in the world like you willing to help complete strangers.
Kindest Regards,
Carrie Heward

I am glad to note that you have already commenced using my therapy for your baby. I do wish that other mothers too will follow your example as I have been successful in saving many babies from a lot of agony with my therapy which is completely safe and invariably cures Baby GERD.
I believe that it is time you started baby on Nux Vomica 30c and you will report his progress daily if possible for a few days and when he stabilizes as I hope he will, whenever you wish to share his progress with me.
You may continue to give him a full tablet of Nat Phos 6x after every feed till he stabilizes and then reduce the dosage down to half.
For the record I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I hope will help your baby too.
The remedy that has proved to be very effective for Baby GERD is:
Nat Phos 6x dose 1 tablet dissolved in milk given immediately after a feed. You will not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours.
You may like to try to reduce the quantity of milk you give for each feed to enable baby’s digestion to stabilize. You will however feed more often. It is essential that you burp baby immediately after each feed.
You will avoid eating all food that can cause any distress to baby.You must know that they are passed on to baby through your breast milk.
You will also take Arnica 30c which you will order in the Liquid Dilution as per instructions below. Please note that the Arnica is NOT for baby.
You (the mother) will take Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets after each of 3 meals daily and Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. The idea is that your milk will pass the effect to baby. You may like to know that Nat Phos 6x will help to reduce your weight by 1kg per week very safely.
Report progress in 24 hours and as often as you wish on this thread.
If you discover that baby does not respond to the Nat Phos 6x alone and this has occurred in a few cases, you will contact me again and I shall then prescribe another remedy to reinforce the action of Nat Phos 6x.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

Dear Joe,
I have read on abc homeopathy and baby center communities about Nat Phos 6x solving infant reflux.
My little boy is 14 weeks old he was delivered via c-section due to complications with a natural delivery at 37.5 weeks. He had jaundice and was not able to stay latched on for nursing so he was treated with light therapy and formula. I also pumped and gave him as much colostrum as possible. I am sure the introduction of formula in the first few days of life could be a major contribution to issue with digestion.
I was not successful in nursing and he was primarily fed formula for the fist 6wweks with some breast milk supplementation. After 6 weeks he has been exclusively on formula of all the ones we tried he seems to tolerate Alimentum which has the milk protein completely broken down.
I noticed signs of reflux around 2 weeks old along with major gassy pains as well. I tried management of these with burping frequently and keeping him upright for 30 mins after eating. Along with using other homeopathic remedies like gripe water and colic calm and infant probiotics. None seem to take care of the pain I knew he was still having as he would arch his back or pull up his legs and have high pitched screams along with the silent reflux. So out of desperation I turned to medicine at 5 weeks he was on prevacid for 1 week but the side effects were to scary and it didn’t seem to help. I switched him to zantac which did work and take care of the pain, but I again am concerned with side effects and did not want to keep him on it.
I stopped using zantac on 11/19 and started Nat Phos 6x. I have the hylands brand and have read various dosage options. I was giving him 1 tablet in every other bottle this would equal 3 to 4 tablets a day.
I haven’t seen any improvement from it and now he actually has major spit up when being burped that he did not experience before which he cries when he spits up like he is in pain again.
Today I have changed the dosage to a 1/2 tablet after a feeding and I wanted to know if you think that maybe the issue the dosage or if I need the to add Nux Vomica as well.
He is 14 weeks about 15 lbs eats 5 oz 6 times in 24 hrs sleeps an 8 to 9 hours at night.
Any advice that will help my baby I completely appreciate I just want him not to be in pain.
Kindest regards,
Carrie Heward

She may have to continue with the Arnica 1M for some time before you notice some improvement.
Dont give up. This is her only salvation.
Dear Joe:
I had posted a comment yesterday but as I cannot find it today, am posting it again. Have been on the wet dose of Arnica30 and Nat Phos 6x for the last two months. Applying solution of Arnica Q on scalp twice a day. Eczema on finger and scalp has improved but not gone away entirely. Dandruff had disappeared. Triglycerides have normalized, though Cholesterol still high. My weight has reduced by 2-3 kgs (now it is 67kgs for my height of 5’4″).
Would like to know how long should I continue the same or if the Arnica dosage should be changed. Thanks and Regards!
Mark
Here is my response to your post of this morning:
“Mark
Glad to note that my therapy has helped you.
Suggest you change the Arnica Q to the lowest potency you can get like 3c and you will use the same number of drops to activate the water. This may help better with the Dandruff and the Eczema on the scalp.
I presume that you are taking the Arnica 30c orally and you will continue with the Nat Phos 6x.”
I have just noticed that you have not confirmed using Johnsons Baby Shampoo daily and this is the reason why you are still bothered by dandruff.
You will continue to take the other remedies prescribed as usual
My 1 week old baby boy is suffering with silent acid reflux. He doesn’t have spitups after nursing but instead has hiccups and constant stuff coming up because he re-swallows. Yesterday his cry became hoarse. During feedings he twists his head and body away and cries out in pain. He needs to be fed upright and held upright. He only sleeps on my chest or on his left side in his inclined bassinet but not for long. Please help.

I am simply amazed at the drugs prescribed by qualified doctors who are well aware that ALL PPI drugs including Zantac, Prevacid and Nexium to only name 3 of these highly poisonous drugs can only be used on a SOS basis for s short period. It is when the patient takes is sometimes for life in later years that it affects the body and causes serious side life threatening side effects.
You did well in stopping Zantac and I am glad to note that you consulted me in time hopefully before baby suffered any serious side effects.

Hello Joe,
I’m amazed my the stories on this site. It feels reassuring to know that perhaps I can help my 6 month old daughter. The first month of her life, she breastfed up to 7 hours a day. If she wasn’t sleeping or eating, she was extremely upset. At her one month check up, she had lost over a pound in weight. I was very upset as I had a great supply and a balanced diet.
My doctor and my husband and I agreed to supplement with one 3 oz bottle of formula a day. Overnight she was a much happier baby. Over a period of another month however, she became unhappy. She was very gassy, did not enjoy feeding, so we switched to a different formula and continued with breastfeeding.
Again, she seemed to improve immediately but over a period of another 3-4 weeks, her agitation became obvious again. She arched her back at feedings, and by this stage could only nap for no more than 20 mins in the day. She was also waking every 1-2 hours at night.
We were then told she had reflux and quite possibly an allergy to cows milk protein. We switched formula again and she was prescribed 5mg of Nexium a day. Again, we had a great response from her. But to our sadness, it was short lived. The sleeping patterns got worse as did the gas, fussing and arching. I should mention that there has also been vomiting too throughout. We switched formulas to Nutramigen at this stage. But she still wasn’t making much progress.
I spoke with a specialist who suggested we stop the Nexium and stop breastmilk just to see what happens. We did this. And that’s when we saw the biggest change. For more than a month she was doing wonderfully. Until I tried her on solid foods. Not not have all the symptoms came back, but now she is choking, with terrible diaper rash. She has the same reaction with rice cereal and fruit given separately.
I flew my daughter to see another specialist last week. Her
Poo tests show her pH levels as 6 and she has elevated levels of sugar.
The specialist confirmed that she has reflux and lactose intolerance. Guess what? Another new formula and he prescribed Rannissen, Libertrim and Unamol. She has been very unhappy and her choking has gotten worse.
We went back to our doctor last night. He put her back on Nexium and off the other meds. At this point, I am so done with medications. Can you help? I am no longer breastfeeding now. She is on Elecare formula. Thank you for your time

I believe that the root cause of your Baby’s current distress is the fact that you have changed over to solids which according to you was at first tolerated by her but later rejected by her digestive system. It is also possible that she was reacting with reflux even earlier, perhaps unknown to you, due to changing over from breast to formula.
I am horrified to learn that your learned paediatrician had prescribed Nexium 5mg but this is unfortunately one of the PPI drugs that doctors are ordered to prescribe as per their studies. They are not aware that there exists a far more effective and SAFE Homeopathic Remedy, Nat Phos 6x which I have pioneered in prescribing unilaterally, although it is not generally prescribed by classical homeopaths who seem to be as unaware of this remedy as are doctors and their PPI drugs.
I note that you have flown baby to see specialists but be assured that my therapy aka “Joepathy” will heal her current distress as it has in countless other cases which are all listed on my website.
You are advised to give baby a tablet of Nat Phos 6x dissolved in her milk, breast or formula and observe her response in 24 hours which you will please report to me. You will also STOP all solids pro tem and we can consider giving them back in a few weeks. You will also stop all DRUGS.
I cannot advise you about the various brands of formula you have listed as I do not know them.
You may also like to reduce the quantity of milk you give per feed to enable baby’s digestion to stabilize. You will however feed more often. It is essential that you burp baby immediately after each feed.
Dear Joe
I was wondering if you could suggest something for my son.
He is 6 years old and for some years has suffered from chronic catarrh due to – according to the ENT doctors – enlarged tonsils and adenoids of which they say he must grow out of.
He is generally very healthy, suffers rarely from colds, has never had earache, his worst illnesses have been due to Strep throat.
He is worse in the morning and evening, he talks nasally, sounds as if his nose is full but very often when he blows nothing comes out.
Very often in the morning he has to cough up and spit out the accumulated phlegm.
The discharge is usually a yellowish colour.
He is fair in complexion, strong build and normal weight.
I would appreciate it so much if you have any suggestions because it is very frustrating though he is always in good spirits 🙂
Yours gratefully
Mary.

It is possible that your son suffers from a chronic condition in his sinus which is possibly infected and may require an antibiotic to treat. We will however start him on an Anti Viral remedy I prescribe for Cararrh and Colds below:
Treatment of Catarrh and Colds
The therapy that has helped many patients who were victims of Catarrh for a long time with sneezing and coryza is:
Eupatoriium Perfoliatum 200c in the Wet dose taken thrice daily for a week and changed to just TWICE WEEKLY thereafter.
Patients have reported that their sneezing has abated overnight with this therapy which is not prescribed for this ailment in the classical Homeopathic textbooks.
Those who have been catching colds have reported that their resistance to colds has improved in a manner that they considered as unbelievable.
It is essential that at the first signs of a cold, the patient takes this remedy in the Wet dose every 3 hours to ensure that the virus is aborted.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
You will not take any drugs when you start my therapy.
Dear Joe,
I am of Indian origin living in NZ, single male, almost 42 years old, 5’7″ and 79 kgs. I had itchy eczema on both shins which were almost completely cured with Chinese Herbal medicines. 5 inch patches of scars now remain.
I take 100mg of Allopurinol daily to control uric acid as I’ve had attacks of gout in the past 5-6 years. I have impaired glucose tolerance for the last couple of years. While not being very overweight I would do well to lose a few kilos around the belly.
My testosterone levels are low and have been prescribed testosterone patches on the skin daily (2.5mg) which I use 4-5 times weekly. This has helped my mood somewhat, which is normally on the ‘low’ side -depressive and anxious/worrying/fearful. I find myself getting quite absent-minded – forgetful and find names hard to remember. I can’t seem to think on my feet.
My cholesterol levels are high and had been prescribed statins but declined to take them. I have a few small lipomas around my body which arent visible to the eye. I have small warts on my neck which at times seem to be increasing. Another ongoing problem is of ingrown hairs on my torso and thighs which result in small boils with a bit of pus.
I’ve also been gradually losing hair on the top of my head since my late teens and so is quite scanty now.
I know Arnica and Nat Phos are your main remedies of choice but I’ll await your advice. I’ve included a few results of a blood test done in Sept’13.
HbA1c 49mmol/mol (<41) H
Urate 0.47 mmol/L (0.20 – 0.42) H
Cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L (< 5.0) H
Triglyceride 4.3 mmol/L ( 1)
LDL 4.5 mmol/L (< 3.4) H
Chol/HDL ratio 6.4 ( <4.5) H
Testosterone 7.8 mmol/L (8.7-29.0) L
SH Binding Glob. 12 mmol/L (13-71(Adult)) L
Free Testosterone(calculated) 238 pmol/L (198-619)
Thanks in advance,
Dom

Glad to note that you have been reading my therapy aka “Joepathy” on my website and you are already aware of my default therapy for Cholesterol, Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
You will take Nat Phos 3x dose 3 tablets thrice daily for Gout.
Report progress monthly.
Thanks for your prompt advice, Joe. I take it I can continue with the Allopurinol as well for a while ?
Dom
You will replace the drug with Nat Phos 6x and check your Uric acid level in about a month and report the level.
Sir,ci regularly follow your joepathy taking arnica wet dose and Nat phosc

Thank you and regards aslam

Glad to note that you have been using my Joepathy for your Cholesterol and Triglycerides.
You have nothing to fear with your Cholesterol which is only marginally higher than the normal level.
Your Triglycerides are above normal but you should find that in a few months they too will stabilize and come down to normal.
You must exercise daily to sweat it out.
Drink plenty of water.
Dear Doctor,
I am 49 years old now a days keep forgeting things, forget names and would like to know any particular remedy for this .
Thanking you

Your ailment is difficult to treat as there is no remedy to help you to remember things.
You can however take Arnica 30c in the Wet dose which is made as follows:
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.

Thanks very much sir.
Hi Joe,
I just found your Joepathy post on ABChomeopathy for hairloss and am excited to start the treatment. I have bought all the medications and had a quick question about making the wet dose. Do we insert the 3 drops of Arnica 30c in the water everytime we take a dose (twice daily) or just do it once and then keep taking the doses until the water is finished?
Thank You.
Meraz
You will activate the water with just 3 DROPS of the remedy only ONCE. You will sip the remedy twice daily and this should last you about 2 months.
Joe,
Thank you so much for the prompt reply. You really are doing God’s work! I have to figure out how to get a notification e-mail when you reply to my post. Thanks again!!
Dear sir,c
I have got very bad bout of cold and yellow mucous from nose, I am continuing the joepathy medicine , any medicine can I add for cold please
Thanks and regards aslam
It seems to me that you are using my website as a very convenient method of consulting me whenever you have the slightest medical ailment. Upon looking back on your posts I find that you have posted your problems in 6 separate posts.
On the last occasion you did so, you stated:
“Sir I have cold and I feel pressure. Behind my ears
Due to.cold I get some sound
Please recommend any treatment please sir”
I presume that you are doing so as I am very patient and try to help anyone who is in genuine distress. It is also possible that you do so as my therapy comes free of cost to the patient and you therefore feel that at the slightest excuse, you can ask me for a prescription.
In the case of your current cold, this is not a life threatening disease as everyone will catch at least one cold annually.
You must understand that I am NOT at your disposal every time you sneeze or catch a cold and expect me to treat you.
Please do NOT bug me in future.
Dear Joe
Thank you for the advice regarding my son’s problem with the chronic catarrh, it has greatly improved and yesterday the pediatrician agreed with you and gave me an antibiotic for a possible infection.
I just wanted to ask you for how long should I continue with the Eupatoriium Perfoliatum- he is now in the second week taking it twice daily.
I also wanted to ask you if you have any remedy for helping a baby sleep at night. My other son is nearly one and still wakes every night five or six times. I am still breatfeeding, and it is the ony thing that will calm him though I know he is not waking from hunger, it is as if often he is upset in his sleep and he’s not waking outright.
I’d appreciate your advice and thank you again for your generousity in providing it so freely.
Yours gratefully
Mary.

Glad to learn that your “son’s problem with the chronic catarrh, it has greatly improved and yesterday the pediatrician agreed with you and gave me an antibiotic for a possible infection.”
You may give him the EP 200 just once nightly and observe if this dose is sufficient to allay his Catarrh. You may otherwise go back to twice daily dosage and report his progress especially after the antibiotic.
It is possible that your baby suffers from Baby GERD and you can give him a test dose of Nat Phos 6x after every feed for 24 hours and report his response for further advice.
I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I hope will help your baby too.
The remedy that has proved to be very effective for Baby GERD is:
Nat Phos 6x dose 1 tablet dissolved in milk given immediately after a feed. You will not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours.
You may like to try to reduce the quantity of milk you give for each feed to enable baby’s digestion to stabilize. You will however feed more often. It is essential that you burp baby immediately after each feed.
You will avoid eating all food that can cause any distress to baby.You must know that they are passed on to baby through your breast milk.
It is best not to vaccinate Baby till s/he is over a year old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
You will also take Arnica 30c which you will order in the Liquid Dilution as per instructions below. Please note that the Arnica is NOT for baby.
You (the mother) will take Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets after each of 3 meals daily and Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. The idea is that your milk will pass the effect to baby. You may like to know that Nat Phos 6x will help to reduce your weight by 1kg per week very safely.
Report progress in 24 hours and as often as you wish on this thread.
If you discover that baby does not respond to the Nat Phos 6x alone and this has occurred in a few cases, you will contact me again and I shall then prescribe another remedy to reinforce the action of Nat Phos 6x.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

“My other son is nearly one and still wakes every night five or six times. I am still breatfeeding, and it is the ony thing that will calm him though I know he is not waking from hunger, it is as if often he is upset in his sleep and he’s not waking outright.”
The choice is yours.
Nat Phos 6x is NOT a drug and is a Cell Salt which works in wondrous ways.
You can read the reports of over 50 mothers whom I have helped with this same therapy.
My advice is to give a tablet to him after every feed dissolved in milk or water for 24 hours and observe his response.
Dear Joe
My son has never had any GERD symptoms, never had colic, has never spit up his food or had reflux issues. He’s a healthy eater, eating three meals a day and my milk.
His not sleeping could be due to a form of night terror that I’ve read about in babies, I don’t think it is a physical problem that is waking him.
Thanks again
Mary.
Hi Joe,
First of all, Merry Christmas! I would like to thank you for all the service that you have provided and continue to provide to all these people. I am a firm believer in homeopathy since I grew up on it. My mother has been practicing homeopathy for as long as I can remember and now I also have been practicing it for a number of years. I agree with you that for some reason “classically trained” homeopaths are not that good at diagnosis and treatment is what I have noticed and I seem to fare better than them. That is why I am very excited to try this “Joepathy” of yours 🙂
I have been losing hair towards the top of my head, what I think they call a balding crown, for the last couple of years I think. I think it was increasing in size until I started taking steps to mitigate it. I first tried castor oil but that seemed to increase the shedding. Then I had started taking Aurum Met for some other symptoms and that reduced the shedding. But I was hoping to regrow hair in the bald spots so I started Wiesbaden. Again the shedding was very less compared to before but I didn’t really see any regrowth. I had been taking the Wiesbaden for about 3 weeks when I came across your hairloss treatment and have now started with that for the last week.
I am going to list my regimen and also have a few qs about the exact routine:
Arnica 30c water dose: I take this once 30 mins after breakfast and then right before bed. Is this fine?
Arnica Q/Olive oil mixture: I apply about 4-6 drops on the bald spots at night and massage for about 5 mins. I wash my hair daily with just water and shampoo only about once a week now with Johnsons baby shampoo since I am wary of the chemicals in shampoos. What I noticed was my hair got oilier with each application of the mixture and then by the 6th day which was yesterday it had gotten quite oily and now the hairfall had increased. So I shampooed my hair yesterday and again more hair than usual fell out. Do you suggest doing something different?
Fish liver oil supplement: I have not taken this yet since I am a little against these supplements in general and when I researched it, one of the side effects was actually hair loss? Do you still recommend taking this supplement as an essential part of the remedy? I do eat fish about 2-4 times a week.
Another basic question I had was in other cases how long did they have to wait to see regrowth? What is the best way to measure this growth? I find it hard to ascertain if regrowth is happening because of the surrounding hair, any tips for this?
Also, sometimes my hair has started itching in those spots, is that a good sign and maybe indications of new growth?
Thank You.
The following remedies will help to arrest the loss of hair and will also help to regrow the hair in about 2 months.
Arnica Q or Mother Tincture 15ml bottle
Arnica 30c in the Liquid Dilution in Ethanol
2 500ml bottles of Spring water sold in supermarkets.
Any good Fish Liver Oil in capsule form.
Method:
Arnica Q to be used to mix into the water for massaging into scalp.
Insert 50 drops of Arnica Q into the bottle and you should notice that the water bubbles freely when the bottle is shaken about.
Half a teaspoonful of this medicated water is to be massaged into the scalp twice daily.
Please note that this water remedy with Arnica Q is NOT for oral use.(NOT FOR DRINKING). It is only for massaging into the roots of the hair.
Arnica 30c for Oral use
Make the Wet dose of Arnica 30 as follows:
Order Arnica 30c in a 5ml in the Liquid Dilution in Ethanol in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you take a capfull which is a dose twice daily. This is best taken first thing in the morning and last thing before bed.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before a capful of the bottle is sipped as directed.
Take a capsule of the Fish Liver Oil daily.
Use Johnsons Baby Shampoo daily for your shower which will help to wash away the perspiration from the scalp which causes the bacteria that are responsible for your Dandruff to propagate.
Avoid Coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham and bacon, and all canned cola beverages as they antidote the therapy.
It is understood that you will STOP all other remedies and drugs you are taking today.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
Drink plenty of water and exercise daily for at least 45 minutes like walking or jogging depending on your age. The idea is to sweat it out. This is essential to promote the circulation of blood in the body which Arnica will help to promote.
Patients who suffered from severe hair loss who were losing over 200 hairs daily have confirmed that they discovered in about a week that the loss of their hair had been arrested. They also noticed that the new growth was plainly visible above their scalp when their hair was parted in about 6 weeks.
Report progress in a month
The Joepathy post on abchomeopathy has the Arnica Q mixed with Olive oil (which is what I have been doing) this has it with water, which one should I be using?
Should I be using the shampoo everyday if I don’t have dandruff?
Also, sometimes my hair has started itching in those spots, is that a good sign and maybe indications of new growth?
Thanks.
I have since updated my advice to use water instead of the Olive oil which I discovered was blocking the Hair Follicles which in some cases was counter productive. The itching can also be traced back to the pores being blocked.
Dear sir, if you can help me with some nagging cold problem
I regularly take joepathy medicines as prescribed

Hi Joe, please need your advise, my daughter is 53 days old and she has acid reflux can I give her one full pill and also can she still taking her Zantac? Ty, really need your help!!
Thank you for your email alert as I discovered that my normal alert from my website which I usually receive in a few minutes of a post had ended up in the Junk folder which I would not have seen unless you had alerted me.
STOP THE ZANTAC IMMEDIATELY AND REPLACE IT WITH NAT PHOS 6X AS PER INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I hope will help your baby too.

Ok I guess I can say that I already see a lil improvement on my daughter I gave her first Nat Phos last night around 6:40 and the last bottle around 9:30 before bed time over 12 hours pass there were only two throw ups in the morning after a bottle. Hopping for the best 😉
How many feeds do you give your baby and how old is she?
It is possible that you are overfeeding her by giving her a full bottle.
Suggest you reduce the quantity and observe results.
Arnica ‘extract’ is not Arnica 30c.
And remember that it is only for you. Not for baby.
Hello Joe, my baby started to throw up again every time she it’s being fed, what should I do Thank.
Hello Joe,
My mother in law is suffering from severe calf pain at night only and she can’t sleep for that. Kindly suggest a medicine for her. she is 43.
I would appreciate if you will please do not address me as “Joe” as I am 85 years of age and old enough to be your Grandfather.
Your MIL’s case is difficult for me to treat as her problem must be diagnosed by a doctor. It can be Arthritis or a cramp due to chilling if you live in a cold climate.
After you have her case diagnosed, I may be able to help.
sorry sir,(for calling you joe, i just didn’t notice, i just wrote in a hurry).. she is suffering from calves cramp at night..
Kindly suggest a medicine for her..

Hello Joe,
My twin 32 week preemie girls are almost 10 months old. They were afflicted with twin to twin transfusion and were born at 2 pounds, 7 oz and 3 punds, 5 oz. Around the 5 or 6 month mark we finally figured out that at least the larger twin had silent acid reflux after being up with her all night long for a month straight with her screaming.
A gastroenterologist confirmed this was probably it, but no definitive tests were done, we just assume this was the problem because the Zantac started helping about 2 weeks in. We put them both on it because the smaller twin generally follows in the larger twins footsteps with everything 3-4 weeks later. Sure enough, she was starting to wake more frequently at night, too, and before we got to full on screaming, we started her on Zantac, too, with the pediatricion prescribing the correct dosage for her smaller size. They are both currently on doses that we’ve up’d 3 times. The larger twin is now about 14 pounds and is taking 1.6ml 3x’s a day, and the smaller twin is about 12 pounds and taking 1 ml 3x’s a day. The last several nights they have both been waking much more frequently, seemingly very uncomfortable. It hasn’t been that long since we just up’d their zantac dose and the pediatrician wasn’t thrilled to increase it to what we’re on now, so I don’t feel like I can ask to increase it again. Of course, they are recommending going back to the gastro and seeing if we need to go on Prevacid instead.
So I started looking for natural alternatives that I could try on my own. First I saw aloe vera juice, but it seems that might not be safe for infants. Then I stumbled across the Nat Phos 6x. Can you help me figure out if I should be ordering this and trying it? I wonder if I could go buy the tablets at a local store so I can start using them asap.
Would you be able to guide me in this? I am so sleep deprived with two babies having these issues, and I’m so frustrated because I don’t even know for sure it’s reflux. It does seem to be a digestive issue of some sort because they both seem uncomfortable and maybe not arching their backs, but the small one almost does the opposite, kind of gets into a crawling position and curls up fetally while she writhes around her crib. Ugh, it is so miserable and not sleeping for 9+ months is killing my husband and I. I’d really like to try something natural to help them. One other thing worth noting, they are consistently constipated which we keep under control with prune juice and using a thermometer rectally around bedtime. The ped just recommended at their 9 month appt using miralax instead of the thermometer so we’ve been trying that for the last week or so with mixed results. The problem is that they don’t really want to drink the water bottle with the miralax mixed in most of the time. If we add prune juice to it, it seems to entice them a little more, but they don’t always want to drink it anyway. If they don’t drink it, they are constipated. 🙁
Update from when I first emailed you directly before posting on this forum – I went ahead two nights ago and started with the Nat Phos 6x after getting it at a local store. I have seen amazing improvement the last two nights, so I am extremely grateful. I did not use Nux Vomica, just crushed one tablet each and mixed with milk and gave it to them after every feed. Instead of them each getting up several times throughout the night, they both slept the first night until 3:30 and 5:30 am respectively after being put down at 7pm. This was simply amazing. Last night, they both slept till 3 and 3:30.
I have a few questions –
1) last night when they did wake up, I administered the tablet crushed in 1ml of milk immediately after breastfeeding and they would not settle back down. Both ended up being up for about 2 hours from the time they first woke up. (Went back to sleep around 5am which was obviously not idea.) Should we not administer this during the night? Is there an “alert” affect to be wary of after giving the dose?
2) Am I doing it correctly to only mix it with 1ml of formula? Is that enough milk to dilute it? I am actually using the old Zantac dosage syringes and crushing the tablet with the top of that, using the syringe to suck 1ml of milk and drop it into the container I’m crushing the pill in, and then putting the milk in, mixing it around with the crushed pill, then sucking it back into the same syringe to then administer it. I think it is working quite well, but not sure if I’m using enough fluid. Would water be ok, as well, or must you use milk?
3) How long should I continue to give this to them 6 times per day?
4) If I breastfeed them in the morning and at lunch followed by a meal of solids, is it ok to just give the tablet crushed once, following the solids? (Rather than doing it after the breastfeeding and then again after the solids)
5) should I expect any regression? Honestly, this seems too good to be true and I worry that I should prepare myself for them to go back to their old tricks. 🙂
6) Should I add Nux Vomica or Arnica, and if so, I’m confused about the wet dose. Does that mean you can’t buy tablets, you need to buy a liquid version online instead? I didn’t see ARnica or Nux vomica in anything other than tablet form at the stores I ran around to this weekend. In the end, I decided to start with the Nat Phos 6x and see how they did on that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for what you do. I am eternally grateful already and hope this works as well for us as it has for your other patients. I would say that I notice them happier during the day, too, so far, but it’s maybe too soon to tell. The one cat napper is still only sleeping 30 minutes at a time for the most part, but she did sleep for 45 minutes yesterday which was very rare. My larger baby napped for 3 hours this morning! She’s NEVER done that! Could it all be because of the Nat Phos????
THANK YOU!
Glad to note that your babies have responded to my Nat Phos 6x therapy. They would both have been very severely affected if you had persisted using the Zantac and Prevacid.
Nat Phos 6x is my own discovery “Joepathy” and is not prescribed by other classical homeopaths who refuse to prescribe it as it is not listed for Baby GERD in their texts.
You have seen for yourself how very effective it is and it can be classified as a “Miracle Remedy” especially for babies.
You will dissolve the tablet in a teaspoonful of milk or water and give it with or immediately after every feed.
It is absolutely safe in use and it also relieves constipation, if your babies did suffer from this problem.
Are you taking it as prescribed? Its effect will pass over to your babies in your milk.
Thank you for the prompt reply. My smaller baby has just awoken for the second time tonight and seems to be uncomfortable. She went down at 7:45 and woke at 8:20 and needed only a brief soothing, then woke again around 11 and I changed her diaper and nursed her. I wasn’t sure whether I should do the tablet in milk after this feed since she has already had 6 today and I am wondering if it makes them alert and awake. So I did not give her the nat phos after this feed.
Yes I started today taking 2 tablets 3 times per day after meals.
I will keep watching and see what the rest of this night brings.
Nat Phos 6x is NOT the cause of baby not sleeping.
Many adults who have used it have confirmed that it has promoted sleep.
You can reduce the dose to half tablet when necessary to ensure that their GERD is controlled.
When they are OK you can stop the NP 6x.
She woke again at 12:30 so I gave her the nat phos this time and again rocked her back to sleep. Not sure if this was the right thing to do since it wasn’t immediately after a feed. I also gave her Tylenol in case her teeth were bothering her. Do you have another homeopathic remedy for teething pain, by chance? It’s so hard to know what is ailing these babies! But tonight is not as good of a night as the previous two, that is for sure. My larger twin just woke at 1:10, too. 🙁
It is time that you accepted the fact that although my sympathies are with you in bringing up twins, you cannot expect me to always respond to every post you make on my website. You must also understand that you do not have to give me a ball by ball commentary on every nuance of their eating and sleeping habits as
it seems to me that you expect me to be available every time your babies awake, as this is the type of information that you must share with your husband.
Brining up a baby takes a lot of time and patience from the parents and believe me I have had my fair share starting with my first born son who is now 45 years of age and arrived when I was 40 years old after anxiously waiting for him for 10 years after we were married. I was blessed with 3 sons of whom I only have the youngest with me to help in my business organization. I am not a professional Homeopath as to me Homeopathy is only a Hobby to which I am dedicated.
I do not like your idea of dosing one or both with Tylenol as teething is a normal pattern of growth and is best NOT treated with drugs or remedies.
You are welcome to post any problem with your twins but please spare me the details of their minute to minute progress in life.
Wow. Ouch. I actually have no expectations whatsoever and greatly appreciate your advice and help. I wasn’t trying to give you minute by minute details but rather explain what was happening so that when you did finally come in to the site and see what had transpired, you would have all the info needed – I thought to perhaps suggest to me now that arnica or the nux vomica was needed. I certainly do NOT expect a reply instantly or even at all. The last year of my life has been a living hell with this pregnancy and dealing with the twins screaming so forgive me for being excited at stumbling across someone who might actually be able to help me. I also have a 3 year old and so certainly realize quite well the time and patience it takes to raise children. Yesterday I had to make special arrangements so that I would have time to submit my case on your site – as you can imagine I don’t have a lot of free time during the day. I am now ignoring babies crying to type this reply as fast as I can. So I was simply trying to give you info last night knowing I wouldn’t have much time today to summarize. I apologize for irritating you. If you think adding nux vomica or arnica would help my smaller baby, please let me know, as she had a terrible night last night. I will cease giving Tylenol for possible teething pain. If you can no longer help me, I understand that as well.
I understand your present predicament having to cope with 3 children and as I have already stated, you are free to report their progress without the details I referred to, as it takes me some time to read it all.
Please note that the Arnica was only meant for you and I have specifically stated so in my prescription. This Arnica will help you by calming your nerves and will also enable you to recuperate faster from your stress.
The Nux Vomica in the Wet dose may be used twice daily if you feel that either or both babies do still suffer from GERD as it reinforces the action of the NP 6x.
Dear Joe,
Thank you very much. I will leave out details for sure.
I want to order the nux vomica 30c online. When it arrives I read that I must mix good bottled spring water – 10 oz- with 6 pellets. If I can find liquid nux vomica 30c would that be better? If I can only find pellets like Carrie, once I make the solution of 10 oz with 6 pellets do I need to store it in the fridge or is it fine to leave it sitting out on the counter at room temperature? I read to only give 1 tsp at a time twice daily, along with a nat phos dose, yes? (Immediately after a feed)
Many, many thanks to you and Happy New Year!
You have read me correctly and you do not have to refrigerate the remedy water after you have activated it with the Nux Vomica 30c.
The Liquid Dilution is by far more effective in comparison to the pellets.
Since your babies are preemies you may give them just half teaspoon full and observe and report esults. Nat Phos as usual.
Happy New Year and I hope that your twins will soon get over their current distress.
Dear sir,
Wish you a happy and healthy new year
I just had bad bout of cold and now I am ok still some stuffed feeling in the right ear , like fluid in right ear, this has resulted in some noise
From my right ear , I am on regular joepathy medicine
Can you recommend me some medicine to calm down please
Thanking you and regards aslam
Dear Mr De Livera
I’ve read some recommendations of your methods on various forums and have seen on your site that you’ve managed to successfully help lots of babies with their reflux through the use of homeopathic remedies.
My daughter is just over 6 weeks old and displaying symptoms of silent reflux. She arches her back and is really fussy during feeding, often pulling on and off the breast, crying. When putting her down for naps, she will cry when lying on her back and will only fall asleep on me and wakes a few minutes after I put her down. I often hear her tummy gurgling, she is very windy both ends, frequently grunts, sneezes and has the hiccups. She also regularly spits up.
Please could you recommend the dosage of Nat Phos and or Nux Vomica that I should use to treat the symptoms? Is it safe to give it as early as 6 weeks? Also, as I am breastfeeding, should I be taking any of the remedies too? I have seen that you’ve recommended that to others.
Many thanks in advance, I really want to stop seeing my poor baby in such pain and distress.
With best wishes,
Amy
I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I hope will help your baby too.
The remedy that has proved to be very effective for Baby GERD is:
Nat Phos 6x dose 1 tablet dissolved in milk given immediately after a feed.
You will not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours.
You may like to try to reduce the quantity of milk you give for each feed to enable baby’s digestion to stabilize. You will however feed more often. It is essential that you burp baby immediately after each feed.
You will avoid eating all food that can cause any distress to baby.You must know that they are passed on to baby through your breast milk.
It is best not to vaccinate Baby till s/he is over a year old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
You will also take Arnica 30c which you will order in the Liquid Dilution as per instructions below. Please note that the Arnica is NOT for baby.
You (the mother) will take Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets after each of 3 meals daily and Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. The idea is that your milk will pass the effect to baby. You may like to know that Nat Phos 6x will help to reduce your weight by 1kg per week very safely.
Report progress in 24 hours and as often as you wish on this thread.
If you discover that baby does not respond to the Nat Phos 6x alone and this has occurred in a few cases, you will contact me again and I shall then prescribe another remedy to reinforce the action of Nat Phos 6x.
I note that you have already read my therapy elsewhere and I do NOT recommend you use Nux Vomica 30c till you have used Nat Phos 6x for a week as it usually works within this time. If it does not you can use Nux V under my instructions.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
Sir please if you can give me some remedies please
Hello Joe,
I’m relieved to have found you. I once again have hope. The past 4 months have been miserable.
My little guy is 4.5 months old and has silent reflux. All the classic symptoms. We’ve seen 4 doctors and feel they are just guessing as to how to treat this issue.
I’m uncomfortable with giving my little guy prescription medication but didn’t want him to be in pain so we caved started administering it. We were on Zantac which helped for 3 weeks. Then it stopped working. We moved on to Prevacid. It works but we worry about its affects on my his organs.
Anyway, I’ve read through your posts and our story is closely related to that of Carrie Heward’s in Salt Lake. Our baby is around the same age, has tried the same prescription medication and is on the same infant formula for protein intolerance. We even live close to one another. Her story is actually how I found you.
I’m pushing forward with the Nat Phos 6x dosing in your default therapy for GERD.
I just wanted to start a dialogue with you incase we need further guidance.
Thank you for the work you do. I’m praying this works.
Happy New Year!
Valeri Lewman

I prefer not to be addressed as “Joe” except by my peers and friends, as in my country Sri Lanka, there is a certain modicum of respect reserved for age and I am 85 years old.
Dear Sir,
Allow me to apologize for my ignorance in addressing you so casually. Thank you for educating me on the matter. Please know I meant no disrespect.
We started the GERD default therapy yesterday. I wanted to let you know where we are at and don’t expect a response unless you think something needs adjusted.
At the end of day two we are noticing tons of gas (which he didn’t really have before) and he’s more pleasant after we administer a dose of the Nat Phos 6x . His bowel movements have increased and have changed in color and odor. He didn’t vomit until this evening. The only negative thing we have noticed is lack of sleep. He’s not napping well (worse then usual) and at night is waking up every hour.
If I don’t hear from you I will check in with you by the end of the week to let you know our progress.
Thank you.
Thank you for your progress report in 48 hours.
I feel confident that baby will continue with this improvement and believe that the reason he is not napping as usual may be due to his body recovering from the after effects of the PPI drugs which would have caused severe distress in later life, especially to his brain functions, if continued. I believe that my therapy is helping him to recover from them.
This scenario was reported by a mother who noticed that her 3 year old child who was prescribed an ever increasing dosage of PPI’s, was showing signs of hyper activity which I could not unfortunately treat.
It’s the morning of day 4 and I’m happy to report we have a somewhat normal baby at this point. He has now slept through the night twice in his own bed (that has never happened), is happy all the time, doesn’t need to be held constantly and seems better relfux wise. He hasn’t had a no breathing spell (which was happening at least once a day). He has been throwing up a little more then usual and it seems to be more at night. When he throws up he only gets upset 25% of the time. Other then that he’s a happy spitter. He did not have a bowel movement yesterday but continues to have gas.
Again, I won’t expect to hear from you unless I need to make changes to your therapy.
Thank you again for everything. I’m so emotional writing this because my sweet baby seems so much better and I’ve gotten much needed rest to continue caring for him.
Thank you for reporting your Baby’s response:
“It’s the morning of day 4 and I’m happy to report we have a somewhat normal baby at this point.”
This is usually the time frame for a baby to respond and it just breaks my heart that qualified physicians dare to prescribe the dangerous PPI drugs like the Zantac you gave your infant son for 3 weeks. They are fully aware of the danger that these drugs pose for adults and to think that they still prescribe it for infants is tantamount to murder.
Both you and Carrie should spread the news that there does exist an absolutely safe Homeopathic remedy in Nat Phos 6x which is unfortunately not prescribed by other homeopaths because they have all been schooled into believing that it is only through the 2 hour long ‘case taking’ process that a remedy can be identified. It is just that I am not classically qualified, that makes the difference as I have studied the same texts that they have but after some years of faithfully following the classical rules, it dawned on me that I was blindly following a therapy which was not curing the patient but was just designed to be a money making venture which I was not interested in as Homeopathy is not my profession but only a Hobby to which I am dedicated.
I now use my own therapy “Joepathy” and if you care to read further into my Website you will know more about my therapy which CURES.
I am indeed glad that you gave me the good news and am confident that your Baby will soon grow out of any dependence on all aids to digestion and will grow up into a bouncing boy.
OK, It’s afternoon 6 and I’m happy to say my baby has slept through the past few nights. Yesterday afternoon and during the day today he just wants to be held and is pretty fussy. He’s been spitting up (without crying), sticking his tongue out a lot and seems tired all day. He won’t take long naps even if he’s in my lap. Don’t know what to think. Please advise. So happy I have rest to help him through this fussiness. We have faithfully given Nat Phos 6x per your therapy.
Glad to know that your baby is on the road to recovery after suffering so very unnecessarily from baby GERD and the drugs prescribed which would have had serious aftereffects on his future life.
There is nothing to worry about his minor hiccups today which are all part of his growing up.
Do NOT think of vaccinating him till he is a year old.
Reduce the NP dosage when you notice that he does not need the remedy to digest his feed.
Thank you for words of encouragement. It was comforting and meant a lot to me.
It’s end of day 7 and I can report that my little guy has had a wonderful day. I’m sure getting a full nights rest has helped with that. He’s been in good spirits and even let me put him down to play. He’s been spitting up and arches when he eats but other than that he’s a happy guy.
I will continue therapy as you suggested and taper off when I notice he’s digesting regularly.
Thank you!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU again. It’s been over two weeks and my little one is doing amazing. If he seems to have a flare up I simply give him one dose at the end of a feed and it seems to regulate his system again. I owe you the world. Thank you so much for helping our family. Now on to sleep training since he learned to sleep in our arms all night.

72 Kgs 170 cm (5′ 7″) Average body
3. What is your main health problem & its symptoms
Main Problem:
Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation – Most of the time my penis is limp and I don’t feel any erection. When I am with my wife and do some kissing sucking then it get half erected and then my wife rubs it so that it gets more erected (but I still feel it is not erected completely) and I insert it in her vagina to have sex. If I don’t insert it within 1 minute or so then the erection is gone and we will have to try again to get the erection.
After inserting the half erected penis into her vagina I do slow movements because if I do fast movement then I will ejaculate within 5-6 strokes. So I do slow movements and when I feel it will ejaculate then I stop for couple of moments and again start the movement.
The duration how long I can hold the ejaculation depends on how stiff the erection is. Mostly it is not that stiff and hence I ejaculate in 2-3 minutes by trying stop method.
Same thing used to happen when I used to masturbate before my marriage. During masturbation I used to ejaculate in 2 minutes or so.
I have been masturbating since I was 14. Initially it was like once a day (because once ejaculated I didn’t have second erection before 24 hours or more). Later I reduced the masturbation frequency to twice a week and then to once a week and then once in ten days.
No subsequent erection after ejaculation – after ejaculation penis is limp and desire of sex is gone. Even if I try I don’t get subsequent erection it doesn’t erect. Sometime when I have sex in night then in the morning I feel it half-erected.
No Morning erections – I rarely have morning erections, even when I was young as 16-18 I rarely had morning erections.
Less amount of semen – I ejaculate 5-6 drops of semen if I am ejaculating after 24 hours or so. If I hold it for 3-4 days then the amount is nearly double.
I got my testosterone tested and it was within the acceptable limit but on the lower side.
I got my semen analysed and it was within the acceptable limit but on the lower side. Total count was around 64 million.

Happy New Year Joe!
You prescribed my 6 month old daughter with nat Phos 6x some time ago. I live in Mexico and I had to order it in from the United States which took some time. I finally got it last week and imediately began administering it. She has been taking 6 pills over the course of each day. Her vomiting has decreased significantly. Actually it is virtually non-existent. Her sleeping patterns have not really improved however. She still wakes constantly through the night and will only take short naps in the day. Should I continue the Nat Phos? Do you think her sleeping will improve? She is now 7 months.
Thanks
You stated in your post of December 6:
“We were then told she had reflux and quite possibly an allergy to cows milk protein. We switched formula again and she was prescribed 5mg of Nexium a day.”
Do I understand that you have been giving your baby girl 5mg Nexium since that time?
I wonder if you are aware of the damage that you have done to your baby during these weeks on this dangerous PPI drug which has been discovered to be dangerous for adults and infinitely worse for babies.
You have finally got this drug from the US and you state:
“Her vomiting has decreased significantly. Actually it is virtually non-existent. Her sleeping patterns have not really improved however”
Her sleeping pattern is not of any major concern to me but I am aware it is to you and it will soon pass off as soon as she is able to digest her milk. I noticed that you were giving her solids at 5 months and I advised you to stop solids as it is best to give them at around 10 months.
You can continue the Nat Phos 6x which is absolutely safe in use and she should soon get over her GERD when her sleeping pattern will also improve.
Hi joe, I have a almost 4 week old breastfeed and extreme gassy, fussy, fights me at the breast, sleep best on an incline (currently on my chest) spits up a lot, burps wet burps a lot. He has classic signs of reflux, I am taking his to his dr tomorrow to have his lip and tongue checked for tied— as I believe this maybe contributing to this but I also believe he has reflux. I am also phasing our know trigger foods (dairy, chocolate, caffein, I just learned of chocolate from I believe this site not sure).
I want to order this but I want to make sure there wasn’t a specific brand I have only seen Hylands brand. And as how to start this. I’ll be starting myself in a proabotic – since this is know to help sugar cravings, I’m struggling most with that.
Thanks
I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I hope will help your baby too.
The remedy that has proved to be very effective for Baby GERD is:

It is best not to vaccinate Baby till s/he is over a year old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
You will also take Arnica 30c which you will order in the Liquid Dilution as per instructions below. Please note that the Arnica is NOT for baby.
You (the mother) will take Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets after each of 3 meals daily and Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. The idea is that your milk will pass the effect to baby. You may like to know that Nat Phos 6x will help to reduce your weight by 1kg per week very safely.
Report progress in 24 hours and as often as you wish on this thread.
If you discover that baby does not respond to the Nat Phos 6x alone and this has occurred in a few cases, you will contact me again and I shall then prescribe another remedy to reinforce the action of Nat Phos 6x.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
I prefer not to be addressed as “Joe” except by my peers and close friends, as in my country Sri Lanka, there is a certain modicum of respect reserved for age.
I am 85 years old.
It just occurred to me that even otherwise, I do not know your name as you have used a pseudonym.
You can take Arnica 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily instead of the 30c as I have CURED Chronic Smokers, Alcoholics, Chocoholics and even Drug Addicts. It is very likely that it will help you too to reduce that urge for Sugar which is unusual in my experience.
Patients have responded in a week and I would appreciate if you too will report in a week about your addiction.
Thank you for you response. I apologize for disrespecting you it was not intendtend. Usually I address my elders better as I was taught to call mr. and mrs. But i was happy to see a natural remedy rather than med as we are trying to be natural as. Much as possible. My name is Kate.
It is just that I tolerated being called Joe all these years but it dawned on me that many of my patients use a Pseudonym and this includes you and I am addressed by my given name which I decided to stop on my website.
Hello, and update on my son, Bentley, in just over 24 hrs and 3 doses (as I don’t wan to give this more than necessary. For me less is always better. He has proved greatly we actuall sleep except his 2/3 feedings last ight.
I note that you seem reluctant to give your baby the Nat Phos 6x and have only given him just 3 doses in 48 hours.
Nat Phos 6x is NOT a drug and it is a Biochemic Cell Salt which works in a manner that is unique. Look it up on Google.
I do agree that:
“(as I don’t wan to give this more than necessary. For me less is always better.”
Your statement about his response is not clear:

Yes, You are right sir. I need to change my life style with exercise and pranayam. Pl find below the copy of the message.
BP on the higher side, eye pressure raised, diabetic, always worried about business and health. Higher Uric acid, Gout on the right side.
Fear of Diseases(related Heart, Kidney and Eye), Fear of Death, Fear of Visiting Hospitals, being Hospitalized, ICUs (I have seen my father in death bed. I spent lots of time with him during his death)” The story of your life and your ailments at age 45 saddens me as it is obvious that you are totally responsible for your problems at this very early age. I hope that I will be able to change your lifestyle and it is in your hands to cooperate and make up your mind that you must not let life bring you down and that you must live without any ailments.

Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
Report progress weekly.

Dear Sir,
Any answer for my query. Do i need to continue other medicines?
You started using my therapy on January 11 and you cannot expect it to help you in just 4 days. I gave you detailed advice on CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE and it is up to you to do so.
It is possible that the many drugs you are taking for your various ailments many of which are imagined, may be the cause of your current distress. I have warned you about your case being very complicated and it is up to you to do whatever is necessary to overcome your problems. You cannot expect me to cure your many ailments merely by posting on my website.
I cannot advise you about your diet as I am not a Nutritionist.
Thanks You sir. I am doing life style modification as per your advice. Yes, I understand that I can’t get a cured with in 3 days time of Jeopathy. I will observe it for 2 weeks and i will update you regularly. You are rightly said, most of them are imagined and manifested thro’ thought process. Kindly bear with me if i have disturbed you
Dear Sir,
My son is 8 Years old. He is having a problem of Infantile Eczema. He gets dryness and itching on the elbow and knee back joints if the climate is cold. Some times the itching causes oozing of blood. His skin also very dry. Dermatologists prescribed steriods and it caues problems for his skin .i.e discoloration of skin. He is getting cold & Cough very often. He is asthmatic and we rarely use inhaler when ever the problem is aggravated. He is allergic to Coco chocolate and he doesn’t take much. Chocolate aggravates wheezing and itching. I request you to suggest suitable rmedy for his problems.
I shall copy below my default therapy for Eczema which has helped the lesions of many chronic cases to dry up in a few days.
This is meant for adults but it can also be used for your 8 year old son.
The remedy for your Eczema is Arnica 6c in the Wet dose which is made up as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid Dilution in Alcohol in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles. This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is taken as directed.
Sip a capful of the remedy water twice daily and also apply the water directly on your lesions as often as possible to keep them damp. This accelerates healing. You can use a spray device to spray the liquid on the lesions instead of using other methods.
You should observe some improvement in your condition on about the third day into this therapy.
Please report your response on the third day.
It is understood that you will not take any other drug while using the Arnica therapy.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
Asthma is a disease that can be treated successfully without Inhalers and drugs which are all Steroidal based. If you would like me to treat his Asthma, please give me all data on this problem.
A Cold will usually precipitate an attack and you can read all about how I treated a chronic Asthmatic on:
http://www.joedelivera.com/?p=433
Thanks for your response. I want to get his Asthma treated also. He was hale and healthy when he was born. The problem started only when the doctor prescribed and my son was administered with an imported vaccine. He is not a serious sufferer of Asthma. If he eats saucy food or chocolates or during change in season his problem suddenly starts with frequent coughs. He is continuously having cold and having lots of nasal discharge.
His case is not so severe . We use the in haler when ever his problem gets severe. Max we use it for 3-4 days or temorarily for a day though the Allopath a prescribed a tablet to take for 6 months continuously and Inhaler for the whole winter. His Asthmatic attack suddenly comes up during change of season or when he eat certain type of foods with continuous whooping cough. He gets bad throat also. Another problem is that he doesn’t take much food and he has preferences. His energy level is little less, may be due to his continuous cold. Otherwise he is a Ok child, doesn’t have any other issues.
I have gone thro’ the link also. I already have Arnica 6c wet dose which i am taking already. I can give him also. Kindly prescribe for my son.
I would like to see if you can follow the therapy I have prescribed for the case of the 8 year old girl for your son.
Please copy and paste the therapy to enable me to check it for accuracy.
Your son can use my Eczema therapy immediately and you will report his progress in a week.
I shall then instruct you to proceed with the therapy for his Asthma which will depend on his progress with his Eczema.
Hi Dr Joe,
I have a preemie baby he’s 2 months old, 3 weeks adjusted.. He was diagnosed with GERD and is on Prevacid but is not working.. He is constantly in discomfort and restless, arching back, gagging, crying, etc. I am very much interested in joe therapy for infant gerd. Is it ok to start it at him being only 3 weeks? He’s a former nicu baby so I just get nervous bc he was a preemie and didnt have the chance to mature his digestive system naturally like most babies..
What so you recommend for him? Any help is appreciated thank you.
Please STOP the dangerous PPI drug Prevacid immediately and replace it with Nat Phos 6x.
I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed to hundreds of babies which I hope will help your baby too.
The remedy that has proved to be very effective for Baby GERD is:
Nat Phos 6x dose 1 tablet dissolved in milk given immediately after a feed.
You will not however exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours.
You may like to try to reduce the quantity of milk you give for each feed to enable baby’s digestion to stabilize. You will however feed more often. It is essential that you burp baby immediately after each feed.
You will avoid eating all food that can cause any distress to baby.You must know that they are passed on to baby through your breast milk.
It is best not to vaccinate Baby till s/he is over a year old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
Do not give Baby any solid food till s/he is over 8 months of age.
You (the mother) will take Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets after each of 3 meals daily. The idea is that your milk will pass the effect to baby. You may like to know that Nat Phos 6x will help to reduce your weight by 1kg per week very safely.
Report progress in 24 hours and as often as you wish on this thread.
If you discover that baby does not respond to the Nat Phos 6x alone and this has occurred in a few cases, you will contact me again and I shall then prescribe another remedy to reinforce the action of Nat Phos 6x.
Hello Joe!
Ive been reading and reading on several forums and on your website all the positive results of the Nat Phos 6x and its effect on GERDs.
I have a little boy who is 5 weeks old who is suffering from GERDs and just last week his doctor prescribed Ranitidine. But because I feel really uncomfortable giving such a young baby medicine like this I’ve refrained from starting the treatment. Instead I’ve been reading about natural remedies when I came across Nat Phos. My only hangup is it seems like all the moms who tried it had babies that were older.
Is it okay to start Nat Phos on a baby so young? And the remedy that you prescribe on your site, is it referring to adults? Should I change anything if I were to give Nat Phos to my infant?
Thank you so much for your help!!!
Thank you for copying your email to my Website. I failed to notice that you had addressed me by my first name Joe in the email as I would otherwise have indicated in my reply that I do not permit being addressed in that manner, as in my country Sri Lanka we respect age. I am 86 years of age.
I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed for hundreds of babies which I hope will help your baby too. The remedy is Nat Phos 6x which is a Biochemic Cell Salt and is NOT a drug. It is absolutely safe in use and you may like to look it up on Google.
I note your concern about the instructions you have read on the pack you have purchased and you can ignore them as Nat Phos 6x is a Biochemic Cell Salt and works by stimulating Peristalsis in the gut, thereby stopping Reflux. It is a million times safer than Zantac which has been accepted as harmful to adults and more so for babies when used in the long term.
Nat Phos 6x tablet dissolved in milk is given immediately after a feed. Start with half tablet before a feed and the balance given immediately after, dissolved in milk, but you will not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours.
You may like to try to reduce the quantity of milk you give for each feed to enable baby’s digestion to stabilize. You will however feed more often. It is essential that you burp baby immediately after each feed.

You will stop all other drugs you may be giving baby if you start on my therapy.
One additional question Joe. The Nat Phos 6x I picked up at Whole Foods it only gives directions for children 2-6 and 6-12 in age. Is there a different kind I should have gotten for a younger child?
Hi. My son is 12 weeks old (7weeks corrected because he was a preemie). We have switched his formula several times for different reasons. He is now on Enfamil Nutramigen and has been puking it up each feeding for several days now. The dr prescribed prevacid but I did not fill that prescription because I wanted a natural healing. I found your gerd formula and started him on Nat Phos yesterday. It has almost been 24 hours and he’s had 6 whole tablets total dissolved in milk after each feeding. He seems to be much better but still not completely. He’s vomited once or twice yesterday after his feeding and once this morning. I’m happy to report though that he slept for 7 hours last night for the first time ever!!! However, he is still restless after his bottle like he’s uncomfortable. Do I continue with 1 tablet after each bottle or decrease the dose now?
Thank you! I’m SO happy to have found your remedy!!
Glad to learn that you have started Baby on my Nat Phos 6x therapy even without any reference to me.
You will see that I have prescribed the same Nat Phos 6x to hundreds of mothers on my Website who, like you were very concerned at their baby’s Reflux which did not respond to the standard PPI drugs like Zantac and others which have all been accepted as being dangerous for use by adults in the long term and I shudder to think of the damage that it does to babies.
Nat Phos 6x is NOT to be confused with drugs and is absolutely safe in use. You may like to check it out on the Web under “Biochemic Cell Salts”.
You may continue to give baby small feeds and use half tablet before and half after every feed as per my default therapy which I shall copy below:

Where do you live?
Ok, I still start now and give him half a tablet before and the other half after each bottle and let you know tomorrow how that worked. Thank you SO much for helping me! I live in Missouri, in the United States.
Hi again! He has done great with half a pill before bottle and half after!! I hope it was ok to change his formula in the midst of this to an organic brand because the other formula was causing him to have diarrhea and a diaper rash and he wasn’t peeing much so I was afraid he was dehydrating..He seemed uncomfortable this feeding after changing the formula though and he spit up a little bit which he hasn’t done since yesterday. But I have not been able to get him to produce a burp the last couple of feedings either. Do I continue the half tablet before and half tablet after each bottle? Thank you again soooo much for your help!!
I believe that your baby is over the worst after you gave him the Nat Phos 6x and you can safely continue to give it to him for as long as you feel that it helps him.
Please note that Nat Phos 6x is NOT A DRUG and can safely be taken by both adults and babies for as long as it helps. It works by accelerating the digestive process which thereby inhibits the flow of excess acid and gastric juice.
You may use your discretion to change the brand of the formula you give baby but you must continue to give him the Nat Phos 6x as prescribed.
Thank you again SO MUCH for your kindness and help. I truly appreciate it! My son is doing much better. He still spits up occasionally but nothing like before. I’m going to continue giving him a half tablet of the Nat Phos 6x before and after each bottle until he seems to be completely comfortable and no longer spits up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Glad to learn that my therapy aka “Joepathy” has helped yet another baby to stabilize his baby GERD.
You can reduce the remedy even though it is NOT a drug slowly to enable baby’s digestive process to take over.
One more question…the formula is still coming back up, he just usually swallows it back down, but the last day or two, he’s been spitting it up again. It’s not as bad as it was before the Nat Phos 6x, and it’s not every feeding. But when he does spit up, it’s more than just a little. Should I just give it more time to completely heal his tummy? Thank you again!!
You can add Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose given twice daily before a feed. This remedy will reinforce the effect of Nat Phos 6x and will ensure that baby’s digestion improves.

If the Liquid Dilution is not easily available, you may use 6 pellets of the standard product in 500ml water.
Oh my gosh, I just realized that the bottle we bought says Nat Phos 10!! SO, I’ve been giving him that instead of the Nat Phos 6x!!! Is the 10 even safe for babies??
I prescribed Nat Phos 6x on February 6 and you stated:
“He still spits up occasionally but nothing like before. I’m going to continue giving him a half tablet of the Nat Phos 6x before and after each bottle until he seems to be completely comfortable and no longer spits up.”
I cannot understand your post:
“Oh my gosh, I just realized that the bottle we bought says Nat Phos 10!! SO, I’ve been giving him that instead of the Nat Phos 6x!!! Is the 10 even safe for babies??”
You are just wasting my time in trying to help your baby as all I can do is to share the therapy I have prescribed to hundreds of desperate mothers and you have displayed some modicum of carlessness in your report of Nat Phos 10 (which is a potency that is not available) and I regret that I cannot continue to waste my time on you and your baby in future.
Sorry, I was wrong. It is the 6x as stated in the ingredients. The front of the bottle just reads Nat Phos 10. I will continue the treatment plan you have him on. He is actually doing a lot better today, I’m happy to report! He is able to drink more formula because he is feeling much better. Thank you for your time. It is much appreciated. Sorry for the confusion.
