Dr. De Livera,
I have been reading your posts on reflux for infants. It would be very appreciative if you would consider reading my story and helping us as well.

I have a 6 month old infant girl. Over the past month she has developed reflux symtoms. She does not spit up much at all so it does seem like silent reflux. This is also something we’ve been through with my first child for years so I recognized the symptoms right away. It only seems to bother her at nighttime and some evenings before bed. She awakens crying in pain, which is not her usual way to wake up. While holding her I can hear her stomach gurggling and noises in her throat. We try to burp her and hold her upright. She does eventually settle down but was waking up like this 3 times a night and it can take an hour to get her back to sleep as she does not want to be laid down again, prefers upright position. I have been prescribed zantac and given her one dose at night for the past 3 nights. I really would prefer to cure her with homeopathy treatment this time and not be on the zantac. The zantac does help her but it constitpates her and she is still up at night grunting as if she is trying to have a bowel movement. I had my husband go and purchase Nat Phos 6x today so we can hopefully start her treatment. Thank you for your consideration. Jeanine M

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.

Thank you so much. I will start that fully tomorrow. I guessed about taking the Nat Phos for myself as well so i’ve been doing that. Last evening I did not give her Zantac but gave her some doses of the Na Phos after feeds and she slept great, only waking up once to nurse and back to sleep without problems! I will continue to update on her progress. Thank you so much. : )

Glad to learn that my therapy has helped your baby. You must of course STOP the Zantac which is known to be dangerous for adults and far more for babies. In contrast Nat Phos 6x is absolutely safe and is far more effective as you have already discovered.

Last night the baby did awaken once screaming and refluxing. I was able to nurse her back to sleep. I had to give her two doses of Nat Phos 15 min apart for reflux after the feeding. She did then settle down to sleep for the rest of the night. I have a question about the arnica. I was able to order some last evening online but I don’t know how long that wil take to arrive. In the meantime, can I take some pills I have at home here? They are 9C HPUS.

Yes you may use the Arnica 9c pellets which you have with you.

You can make the Wet dose by inserting 6 pellets if they are 3mm ø or you can use more if they are smaller in ø till you get the correct Arnica 30c in the Liquid Dilution.

Glad to note that baby is responding to my therapy.

my baby woke up twice last night, only needing Nat Phos once and was very consolable. She is doing better for sure. I am so grateful. : ) So do you recommend just continuing to give her the remedy as long as she needs it or do you recommend weaning her off of it. I am happy to keep giving it. I have no fears about side effects etc. Thanks for you advice!

I have also noticed her sleeping better. She was always a cat napper, naping 1/2 hour at a time. There is definate improvement in that area.

You consulted me on November 11, just 4 days ago and your Baby can be considered as CURED of her Baby GERD.

You do not have to give her the full tablet of Nat Phos 6x from now on and you can now start weaning her by reducing the dosage to just half tablet and if she does not show any signs of GERD, you can stop it in a day or two. Nat Phos is absolutely safe for Babies and I do hope that other Homeopaths who treat similar cases will follow my therapy aka “Joepathy” which is the protocol I have formulated and prescribed since 2005, which has CURED many hundreds of cases of Baby GERD.

I am copying your case on my Website as a permanent record of how my Joepathy helped your Baby girl who would otherwise have been under the tender loving care of your pediatrician who would have poisoned her with Zantac which would have affected her future growth.

    Good Afternoon
    I am a mother to twin boys that are 15 weeks old.
    They suffer from terrible reflux. They are constantly in pain and vomit after every feeding. They also have mucosy stool and have had a few droplets of blood in their stool.
    They weigh 12lbs and are exclusively breastfed.
    I read your blog in the forum, and really want to try the remedy you mention but want to make sure I do it correctly.

    What would the dosage be for them? how many times a day?
    Is it safe to order the Nat Phos 6x online>

    Also, are you a doctor?
    Thank you in advance
    Desperately yours

      I am not a qualified Homeopath although I have studied this fascinating science since 1965 and decided about 25 years ago that the rules of classical homeopathy were not designed to CURE the patient and developed what classical homeopaths labelled “Joepathy” when they discovered that I was curing more cases than them. I use the same Homeopathic remedies which they prescribe in a “This for That” method which is forbidden in classical Homeopathy but CURES the patient and I am confident that your twin boys will also be CURED in a few days. I am not a professional Homeopath and have never charged for my therapy.

      I am 85 years old and do not take any drugs whatever. I have proved that at my advanced age Homeopathy is the answer to long life.

      I am concerned about your report:
      “They also have mucosy stool and have had a few droplets of blood in their stool.”

      If this does not cease in 24 hours after you start on my therapy you will have to consult a pediatrician ASAP.

      Report progress in 24 hours.

      My 20 month old son has been suffering from Acid Reflux since his birth,throwing up suddenly without any reason. He was on zantac since he is 3 months old and now his GI switched him to the Prevacid. Me and my husband were not happy with it as it has too many side effects in it and also a $90 prescription in a month is too expensive when he is the single provider of the family.And then My co worker told me about some Homeopathic remedies for it.I researched and went through some Homeopathic forums and took help from different threads.Two weeks ago I started giving him NATA-PHOS 6X after each meal, that is a small pill, 3 times a day and then next day I gave him half of dose.I have no words to thank you all and I wonder that how this small pill does miracles. He is doing great by the grace of God:) And me and my husband is too happy and satisfied.Before that he could not sleep, could not eat well due to his acids, overall he was miserable.And now he is happy and reflux is gone.I wish we could find it before.But all is well that ends well 🙂
      Thanks so much.
      Take care.

        Thank you for recording the CURE of your baby who suffered from GERD which was treated by your doctor with Zantac and later Prevacid,unsuccessfully and who was cured in a few days by using my default therapy for Baby GERD. You must know that both the drugs you were prescribed are classified as PPI Drugs which are known to wreak havoc with the body but are prescribed throughout the medical world as they do not know or do not recognize that Homeopathy can CURE diseases which medicine cannot.

        You may not know that I am 85 years of age and am not a professional Homeopath. I have however studied this Science for the last 40 years and pioneered in the use of standard Homeopathic remedies in a manner that has attracted severe criticism from the classical homeopathic fraternity as I use and prescribe my therapy aka “Joepathy” which is a term they coined, in a manner that is according to them, not Homeopathic. I do however deliver the goods in terms of the CURE of the patient in a far more positive manner as you have experienced, both in the case of your Baby son and now also your husband, who has presumably suffered from silent GERD for some years.

        You are advised to request your husband to add Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily to help him to add to his cure from GERD as it will add to his quality of life.
        Please visit:

        ARNICA THE MIRACLE REMEDY
        http://www.joedelivera.com/?p=66

        I am gratified that you have used my therapy which I have prescribed on my Website even without reference to me and have helped your baby to overcome his GERD. I established my website 4 years ago to enable anyone anywhere in the world, to access it on their computers and use to cure their ailments even when I am no more.

        You may like to know that I have pioneered the use of Arnica 30c in the Wet dose and I am living evidence that at my advanced age, I do enjoy a quality of life which surprises many of my friends who are contemporaries and envy my ability to help anyone in distress with my Joepathy.

        I shall be interested to have your report of the progress of your baby and your husband to overcome their GERD with my Joepathy.

        For the record, I shall copy below my default therapy for Baby GERD.

    Thank you so much for your quick response!
    What you’ve disclosed, is amazing 85!!! Wow. Very impressive.
    I have ordered the remedies. Will begin them as soon as they’ve arrived. One of my sons has a horse shoe kidney and is being treated with antibiotics for hydronephrosis. Will these remedies interfere or affect him in a negative way?

    • Joe says:

      Irene Caiazzo

      “Will these remedies interfere or affect him in a negative way?”
      I cannot answer your question, as I have never treated a baby who presents a Horseshoe Kidney which is not passing urine and is Hydronephrotic and is being treated for some infection due to urine retention.

      The Nat Phos I have prescribed is not a drug and is far safer when compared to the PPI drugs like Nexium that are usually prescribed.

      I am concerned at your report of the evidence of blood in their stools and the information about one being treated with an antibiotic is not good.

      All I can advise you at this stage is to go ahead and give them the Nat Phos 6x and report results perhaps daily for a few days.

      I wish them well and my prayers are with them for their continued recovery.

    Happy to say we received all our remedies today and are soo excited to begin. I had one question before I start. Can I dissolve the boys pellets in water? Does it matter how much liquid I use to dissolve the pellet? Also, do I take my dosage of Nat Phos and the amica together?

    Thank you so much for all your advice and patience.

      My apologies for not answering your post yesterday as I had overlooked it.

      I am confused by your statement:
      “Can I dissolve the boys pellets in water? Does it matter how much liquid I use to dissolve the pellet?”

      I have only prescribed Nat Phos 6x for your babies and these are TABLETS not PELLETS.

      You can dissolve them in water or milk.

      If I have prescribed Arnica for you, these will be in pellets or in the Liquid Dilution.

    Good morning
    The boys I am referring to are my twin sons. The ones with reflux that I’m treating with Nat Phos 6x which I purchased and look like tiny pellets. I ( the mom) am taking the nat Phos 6x as well as the amica like you suggested.
    Boys began remedy yesterday… They are extremely irritable. Last night they seemed to be in a lot of pain. Since starting thus remedy we stopped the medicine prescribed by their doctor.

    Will let you know tomorrow how today goes. Have not seen anymore blood in their stool.

    Good day.

    • Joe says:

      Irene Caiazzo

      I presume that you are not aware that I live in Sri Lanka which is right across the world from where you live in the US. You must obviously know that when it is morning for you, it is evening for us. In fact it is just after 11.00PM for us, right now.

      I am aware that you are the mother of twin sons, one of whom has a Horseshoe Kidney and is on an antibiotic. You do not have to remind me about them in spite of my not responding to your post of yesterday, as I usually do within a few hours.

      I am 85 years old and it frankly irritates me to have you remind me of your twin sons whom I am treating, in the manner that you have done.

      Nat Phos 6x is marketed throughout the world in TABLETS and if you have got this remedy which”look like tiny pellets” this is the reason for your sons not responding as they should normally do, usually within the HOUR after a feed. Many mothers have confirmed that this remedy in Tablet form seems to work in some miraculous manner to soothe the baby who suddenly seems relaxed after months of agony after a feed due to the GERD.

      The standard tablet of Nat Phos 6x is usually about 5mm Ø and is 4mm in thickness. This tablet constitutes the material dosage that the patient must have for the remedy to be effective and the pellets that you have used is NOT the correct dosage for Baby GERD.

      I also note that you have started to give them the Nat Phos 6x only yesterday. It is not surprising therefore that they have not responded to my therapy as they would presumably been given only 3 to 4 doses of the Nat Phos 6x in perhaps <10% of the necessary weight of the Nat Phos to be considered a dose. It is not a surprise that "They are extremely irritable. Last night they seemed to be in a lot of pain."

      If you still wish to be guided by me to treat your twins you will first have to get the standard Nat Phos 6x which I have been informed by mothers in the US is available in the tablet form. I have been informed that Hylands Nat Phos 6x is in tablet form.

      You will be compelled otherwise to revert back to giving them the PPI drug that your doctor prescribed for them and I shall withdraw from treating them.

    Dr. De Livera,
    I’m from Ahmedabad.My mother is suffering from chikungunia for about last 2 months. our doctor prescribe Hifnac p and Aciloc Rd medicine twice a day for 15days.after finishing the 15 day course no improvement noticed.same as it is even worse.but if she take that medicine on regular basis she feels better.so she had to take this medicine on regular basis for pain relief.its been two months but condition is same and I think that medicine is not helping at all. it just a temporary thing..so,i did some research online and found that coconut water and papaya leaf extract are good for chikungunia patient.so we tried that for past 6 days.its better than before but she still have pain in knees, ankles and legs it increasing in early morning especially after rest..I found your post on abchomeopathy.I also refer all older post in which you suggest that Polyporus Pinicola 200c in the Wet dose is cure for chikungunia. I have only one question about wet dose …
    you said in the forum that Insert 3 drops of the Polyporus pinicola 200c into the 500ml water bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a cap full of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.so, my question is we only use one big teaspoon of water out of 500ml water.so one dose means 500ml mixture or just one teaspoon is enough.and should I give her twice a day..? I’m confused about this .so,can you please clarify this in detail.If one teaspoon is enough.can I use this same water again for second dose in the evening,or i have to take fresh water every time and repeat the process again…

    And ans to your qus in mail we haven’t go to Homeopath yet but we did try allopathic treatment by 4 different doctors and it didn’t work.

    One more thing I went to the homeopathic chemist for PP. he didn’t have Polyporus pinicola 200c of exact name.he said product they have is same but the company is different.the company name was SBL.Is that okk should i order it ? any suggestion about that
    Looking forward to your reply..
    Thanks

    • Joe says:

      Abhay patel

      You have followed my therapy on the ABC and have used the correct remedy:
      Polyporous Pinicola 200 in the Wet dose given thrice daily for a week and reduce to twice daily thereafter. A teaspoonful is a dose.

      Do not give any other drug or other chemicals or even Papaya leaf as they will not work and may even antidote the PP I have prescribed for hundreds of patients to CURE their Chikungunya (CKG).

      I am surprised to learn that even after the space of 2 months after your mom was infected, she still suffers from CKG symptoms and you can expect her to snap out of this disease in under a week when I would appreciate your confirmation that she is OK.

      “One more thing I went to the homeopathic chemist for PP. he didn’t have Polyporus pinicola 200c of exact name.he said product they have is same but the company is different.the company name was SBL.Is that okk should i order it ? any suggestion about that”

      All I can do is to prescribe the remedy you MUST get as there is none other that can CURE CKG.

      Are you sure that she suffers from CKG and not DENGUE?
      I ask the question as the remedies for the 2 diseases are different.
      How do you know that she was infected by CKG?

      • Abhay patel says:

        Hello Joe,
        Thanks for the quick reply.yes she suffers from chikungunia.all allopathy Doctor we went for treatment confirm that she has chikungunia and they also said that they don’t have any proper medicine for chikungunia.so,the medicine they prescribe I search on the internet and found that they are basically painkiller for joint pain and headache which is make situation even worse once the effect of the drug is over. my mother couldn’t even stand up on her own in the early morning with out help and pain was too much.and i don’t want her to addicted to those medicines because it also stated on medicine that taking more than one dose in one day can cause serious damage on liver.and doctor said give her twice daily ..i mean seriously ..and he was MD physician.so, I thought rather than give that treatment we should try papaya leaf juice and coconut water treatment that I found on internet forms.it helps recover chikungunia patient.so,we tried that about week now. she can stand up on her own. still have pain in the ankle,wrist and knees but still better than those drugs.and now I decided for try polyporus pinicola 200c wet dose and stop other treatment as you suggested.it worked for lot of people i read on abc older posts.so, I hope it also cure my mother. this is our final option.
        I have only one Qus. once I create wet dose with 3 drops of PP 200c and 500ml water mixer.After give her one teaspoon of dose in the morning should I keep the rest off the water in refrigerator or outside for later use. which is better.And is there any specific time she needs to take this dose like with empty stomach in the morning and second time before lunch in after noon…just curious about this. i want to do this proper way so it works well..
        Thanks for the quick reply. I really really appreciate your help and time you put in to reply everyone.

          I am confident that Polyporous P 200c in the Wet dose taken thrice daily should help your mother in a few days and CURE her in a few weeks. My experience with CKG is that if the patient consults me within 3 days, s/he will be CURED in 24 hours. In your mother’s case, the fact that she has suffered from this virus for some months makes her condition chronic and hence the delay.

          You must get the remedy in Alcohol and make the Wet dose as prescribed. The Wet dose is best given on an empty stomach in the morning, before lunch and before dinner.

          You will use ALL the water remedy in the 400ml water and for the first few days you may give her a tablespoonful or 2 teaspoonfuls per dose.

          Report her progress on the third day and every third day thereafter.

          Do not lose hope. Your mother will be CURED. I state this as I have personally CURED hundreds of patients in 2008 when CKG was an epidemic here in Sri Lanka.

          I must add that if she was not infected by CKG she was infected with another similar virus, DENGUE. I have pioneered and perfected another remedy for this KILLER disease and if she does not respond within a week, I shall then presume that she suffers from the after effects of Dengue and prescribe Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200c which you are not to give her now till I authorise you to do so..

            Dear joe,
            i got the remedy monday morning in 30ml Liquid Dilution in a bottle with a dropper arrangement. I Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the 400ml water as you said .shake it few times until I see bubbles…I gave her first dose on Monday afternoon than in the evening,and from yesterday giving her thrice daily.but I started to see that her prob increased dramatically yesterday.than today in the afternoon she said she feel little better.but still she can’t walk properly because of her feet swelling and joint pain in left leg.if she sit down on sofa for 15min. she couldn’t stand up easily she needs support and after that she have to stand for min before take a one step.this happens after evening 6, 7 pm especially after some rest.I don’t know what should I do.is this normally happens or its a reaction or something.i’m not sure any suggestions would be a big help.

            Thanks,

              It seems to me that she is responding to my therapy and if you feel that a dose given thrice daily is to much you can reduce it to twice daily. Report her progress as often as you can to keep me in the picture.Since she is a chronic case today after 2 months of agony, she may take a few weeks to recover.

              You may like to know that the first patient whom I treated in 2008 who happens to be my resident cook complained of severe joint pains to me one morning and he was virtually groaning in pain with a headache and fever and semi conscious in the evening around 6.00PM when I returned home.

              I gave him the PP and instructed him to take a dose every 2 hours. I was very surprised to see him around 9.30PM having a good dinner ! This is a good indication of how this remedy works if it is given in time.

              It is not a wonder that doctors refuse to accept Homeopathy which some have classified as being equal to charms as it works in a manner that cannot be medically or logically explained.

              Glad that I was able to help you.

              I have had many cases of patients who suffered from CKG who presented some of the symptoms of this disease after some time ranging from about 6 months to about 3 years after they were infected. The doctors could not diagnose the reason for the patient being in a state of collapse and in one case the patient was warded in a hospital for 4 days when tests were done all of which came back negative. When these cases were referred to me I gave this same remedy Polyporous Pinicola 200c in the Wet dose and the CURE of the patient was dramatic.

    Dr. Mr. Joe
    I am very confused as to why you have been so abrasive with me. There must be some miscommunication. Not that it makes much of a difference but I am a very well educated woman and am well aware of where Sri Lanka is in relation to the United States.
    I, like you, write and post when I have time in between working, pumping and caring for my four children. I do not expect you to respond immediately. On my post from yesterday I asked ” hello have you received my questions”? Because I did not see it post to the web page, not because I was rushing you.

    Now that I hope we got that out of the way, and you know that I am very appreciative, and respectful of your help and time we can proceed. I referred to the Nat Phos 6x tablets as pellets only because of what they looked like to me. They are the hylands brand, and they are tablets.

    I also emailed you yesterday, as per your request to inform you daily on how they were doing.

    I will report results as you wish. Please advise.

    THANK YOU.

      I have expressed my reaction to your post which as I stated, irritated me. If you still wish to use the therapy I have pioneered and prescribed to many hundreds of babies, you are free to continue to post the progress of your twins on my website.

      It is the joy of healing that impels me at my advanced age to help anyone in distress and this is the reason why I established my own Website to enable anyone, anywhere in the world, to consult me.

      And please do not confuse me by your greeting “Good morning” when you are aware that it is night-time here in Colombo. “(I am a very well educated woman and am well aware of where Sri Lanka is in relation to the United States.)”.

      Please also be accurate in your description of Nat Phos 6x which in the Hylands brand is always in Tablet form and NOT in Pellets. You must understand that the quantity of the remedy does matter for the patient, as a pellet is perhaps just around 15% of the mass of the tablet and the material dose matters to enable your twins to overcome their GERD.

    Hello
    As of today ( day 2 ) we have given the boys a total of 8 tablets EACH.
    Here is a little update:
    They are still spitting up/ vomiting however – one of my sons (Richard) has become a ” happy spitter” showing less pain and discomfort when spitting up.
    My other son ( Nicholas) is still very fussy and irritable.
    They both have wanted to be nursing, or suckling at the breast much more than usual. Their sleeping schedule is completely altered, and were up every hour last night.
    One symptom I’ve experienced, is I feel a drop in my milk supply. It could simply be the fact that they have been on me much more than usual… Have you ever heard of the a mica 30 or Nat Phos that I am taking affecting a mothers milk?

    How long is the longest you’ve treated a baby with these remedies? Seems like my boys have a bad case of GERD. I’m just curious as to how long you anticipate they will be feeling better. It’s heart breaking to see the, in pain.
    Thank you in advance for taking the time to help us.

    • Joe says:

      Irene Caiazzo

      I presume that you meant that you have given a total of 8 tablets in 2 days and not 8 tablets in one. Please confirm this matter as if it is the latter case, you will reduce the number of tablets to 6 by giving half tablets after a feed. I have been informed of mothers giving up to 6 NP per day but not 8.

      I have prescribed Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily in difficult cases but your babies are very special and I hesitate to prescribe the Nux V especially for the baby with the Kidney problem.

      Babies can be on Nat Phos 6x for some months but I do not have any statistics as mothers do not report when their babies are OK and able to digest their feed without the NP. This is unfortunate as they all are very anxious till their baby is cured and do not have the courtesy of reporting the good news to me.

      I can state however that in about a month, mothers do not report to me anymore, and it can be presumed that when they do not, their babies are cured. You can have your husband do search on my website for Baby GERD and verify for how long babies are given Nat Phos 6x by their mothers and when they stop bleating. If you do get some information I would appreciate if you will please pass the news to me.

      I too agree that it breaks my heart to see a baby suffer with GERD and am horrified when paediatricians prescribe PPI drugs like Nexium, Prevacid etc which create more problems than they solve for both babies and adults. They are reputed to even increase the dosage when the mothers report that their baby feels worse with the prescribed dose. This is modern medicine for you.

      It is possible that the Nat Phos 6x you are taking may be responsible for your reducing milk supply and the answer is to stop the Nat Phos. You may however keep up the Arnica as this will increase the flow of milk in the same manner it increases the flow of blood in the body.

  11. Irene Caiazzo says:

    Mr. Joe
    Once again I apologize for the “typo”. You are correct. I meant 8 in total for both boys. Four tablets each in the span of two days.

    I, myself have taken your recommendation, and have stopped the NP because of the ill effect it had on my milk supply. Any suggestions on things I could take to increase my milk? My supply has always been a bit of an issue. Stress, I believe has been the main culprit.

    I will continue treating the boys as you have guided me to, and report back to you daily.

    Today is the beginning of day three for us. Its about 11 am here and the boys have vomited a few times already but Nicholas does not seem as uncomfortable as he did last night.

    They are scheduled to have their first vaccines next week. What are your thoughts? I have put this off for the last three and a half months.. but the pediatrician has been pushing. I am highly considering stalling yet again.

    I once again thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to guide me. Are you a parent? Your empathy for our situation leads me to believe you are.

    • Joe says:

      Irene Caiazzo

      As I stated in my last post 6 is the top limit I have prescribed for babies and I am glad that you have only given 4 to each of them.

      Keep the Nux V 30 in hand but you will not give it to them till I authorize you to do so.

      I believe that both your boys will be soon out of the woods and I look forward to this news in the near future.

      I had never thought of warning mothers of the danger of vaccinating their babies and in the case of your twins please make your doctor understand that you want your twins to have the best chance to LIVE. I believe that vaccinating the one with the Kidney problem will maim him for LIFE if he is vaccinated, as the additional demand for filtration of the blood post vaccination will be too much for him.

      I would recommend that you delay this event till they are over 2 years old when the chances of damage are minimised.

      Yes I am a parent of 3 boys age 45, 43 and 40. I have 3 Grandchildren and have just one son who lives in Sri Lanka with one living in Columbus OH and the other in Nottingham UK. They are all alumni of US, including Ivy League Universities.

  12. 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

      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.

  13. 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.

      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?

  14. 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!

      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.

      PS: 5.45 PM

      In answer to your question which I just read as to how long I have lived in Sri Lanka my answer is:
      From the day I was born in October 1929

  15. 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.

      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 !

  16. 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!

  17. 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,
    Carrie Heward

    • Joe says:

      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.

  18. 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

    • Joe says:

      Carrie Heward

      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.

      • 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!

          Thank you for summarizing your baby’s problems with GERD as requested by me.

          I have posted it on my Home page under “Articles” to enable other mothers to read and know that Baby GERD can be CURED without recourse to the standard PPI drugs which are known to be dangerous for adults by the medical profession and more so for babies.

          • Dear Joe,

            I wanted to let you know that Gabriel has been off the Nat Phos for almost 3 weeks now and is doing amazing! It took a little over a week to wean him off, but I wasn’t concerned with him still taking it as it has no side effects. I have such a happy baby now 🙂 He continues to have spit up as many babies do till his sphincter muscle matures, however it no longer causes him any distress. I’ve even been able to take out his boppy pillow I was using to keep him in an upright position in his crib and he sleeps great. I no longer have worries of feeding him in public or friends homes for worry of a major upset. He is now just a very easy baby and sleeps great for me now that he doesn’t wake up from reflux.

            I have been posting on social media and spreading the news to everyone I know about this solution for reflux and GERD. My husband and his father who also suffer from GERD are now going to start the treatment you have listed on this site since they have seen the remarkable results from Gabriel. Thank you sooooo much for the contribution you are to the world you have changed our lives for the better.

              Your baby was often in my thoughts and I am glad to learn that he has stabilised in just 3 weeks which is about normal for babies as long as their mothers abide by my Joepathy precisely as prescribed.

              It is news like yours that impels me forward at my advanced age of 85 years to help anyone, especially babies, in distress. I do not think that anyone else in this world would dare to emulate my example even though they are aware of how successfull my therapy is as it CURES the patient in a short while.

              Feel free to address any future problems to me and I am also glad to learn that your husband and father who also suffer from GERD will follow my therapy. Please also request them to take Arnica 30c in the Wet dose twice daily for life as they will soon discover how their quality of life improves in a few weeks on my therapy.

    I have been suffering from chronic bad breath for 12years now.I’m 31 now, male.I have no life and no hope of ever having a family if my life continues like this.I have done everything under the sun to tackle the problem.I been to dentists,no issues were found.I have taken out my tonsils,I have done yeast overgrowth test,h.pylori test,SIBO, stool etc Infact i have lost count of the number of things I have been tested for,all negative.I have been treated for worm,treated for fungal infection all to no avail.Worst still, no doctor has been able to identify what is causing the problem.I did endoscopy,the doctor did not confirm GERD because no wound in my esophagus but claimed I might be having LPR(SILENT REFLUX).I have taken dexilant for months,no relief.I turned to a homeopath here in the USA,for 4months no relief.That was why I decided to seek for help from you because of your years of experience.

    My symptoms are:

    Serious bad breath(mouth odor)
    White/yellow tongue
    Constant throat clearing
    Post nasal drip
    Sinus problems(one nose is occasionally blocked with dry white mucus pulled with my finger sometimes)
    Smell also comes out of my nose
    Stomach noise
    Bloated stomach
    I gain weight easily from starchy food

    WHAT MAKES IT WORSE?
    Egg
    Milk
    Air conditioned room
    Cold weather/chilly weather
    Wind
    Open air (when I’m driving and my car window is down,the air that comes in makes my nose drain,and immediately post nasal drip and taste in my tongue get bad smell more)

    WHAT MAKES IT BETTER?
    just warm environment

    Mental symptoms
    I get easily irritated
    I’m impatient
    I get worried because my mates are getting married but I don’t even a girlfriend.

    Please help me

    Mike

    Thank you for your kind words about me and I presume you are aware that I am 85 years old today and am still as active as ever thanks to my refusing to take any drugs which are known to be the cause of many diseases. If you read an article entitled “Pill Popping Culture” on my website you will get more information about this matter.

    Your problem is not easy to solve as you have obviously consulted many physicians and have subjected yourself to a variety of tests and surgical experiments which obviously did not work.

    I am compelled therefore to prescribe by instinct and from the information you have given, I believe that you have an infection of your Sinus which is the cause of your chronic bad breath.

    The remedies are:

    Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200c in the Wet dose taken thrice daily.
    This remedy will clear the Virus and you should hopefully discover that your blocked nose will also clear up within the HOUR. It if does so, please confirm.

    Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets taken after every meal to neutralise any acid.

    You will also start a daily routine of exercise and I would suggest that you do a jog for at least half hour to increase your heart rate to over 130BPM.

    Report progress weekly or earlier if you find that my therapy is helping you.

    I will do as you have said sir.Thank you

    Hi Joe,
    I have a 6 week old baby with reflux and started your remedy yesterday (Nat Phos for me and baby, Arnica in wet form for me).
    This morning I have noticed increased spit up, and he just had a particularly big one about half an hour after he had his Nat Phos tablet. Just wanted to check that this is normal/ok, and that I should continue with the remedy.
    Thanks so much. Your work is wonderful.
    Kind Regards, Zoe

    • Joe says:

      Zoe

      You are using my Nat Phos 6x therapy for baby and it is not unusual to observe some increase in the spit up when you first start on my therapy. This however decreases in its intensity in a few days and you can read the account of Carrie Heward whose case I have copied under “Articles” on my Home Page. The conversations are also copied under Archives on my Home page and I suggest you read all the conversations from the beginning of this case.

      I presume that you are Breastfeeding him.

      • Zoe says:

        Thanks Joe.
        Yes I am breastfeeding.
        We are now on day 4 and his tummy definitely seems to be processing his milk better (regular bowel movements and released gas) which is improving his overall mood and sleep.
        However, after each NatPhos tablet he still has a big spit up within half an hour of taking it – its as if he rejects it maybe?
        Is this ok?
        Thanks so much for your advice.
        Kindest Regards.
        Zoe

        • Joe says:

          Zoe

          Glad to note that my therapy is helping.
          You can reduce the quantity of milk per feed as observe if it makes any difference.
          It is possible that he is unable to process the quantity he takes in per feed and spits out what his stomach feels is too much.
          You can always feed more often.

    An update
    I have the remedies Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200c and natrum phos 6x.They are yet to arrive. But meanwhile,this past weekend,I chewed raw parsley leaf to mask the bad breath because it was thanksgiving here and I had to go over to a family house.The next day I noticed the bad breath was worst with more coating on my tongue and the smell coming out of my nose was also worst.I also started to feel what a lot of people have described on the internet as Candida “die-off” .I say this because I forgot to mention in my last post that this problem of bad breath started after I took the antibiotics amoxicillin and azithromycin in 2010 for cold.
    When I researched the internet then, a lot of people said it could be
    candida or yeast overgrowth.In 2012,I used grapefruit seed extract,I noticed a relief but it came back after 3weeks.Since then I have used oil of oregano,coconut oil,probiotics.When ever I used them,I had this reaction people call Candida “die-off.I was tired of the too many theories that was why I decided to consult a homeopath but for 4 months now,no improvement.That was why I decided to consult you.
    Please what is your view about Candida and yeast overgrowth judging from the fact that I have had the die-off reaction before and even yesterday when I chewed the raw parsley to mask the bad breath?
    I decided to inform you about this to help you understand my case better and also help you in deciding my treatment option.
    Thanks and may God continue to grant you long life.He knows we need you.

      “I forgot to mention in my last post that this problem of bad breath started after I took the antibiotics amoxicillin and azithromycin in 2010 for cold.”

      Your post made me think of another approach to a possible cure of your problem. It is possible that the fine balance of the bacteria in your gut was upset by the AB you took for a cold and I believe that a PROBIOTIC which you can got OTC may help.

      Do let me know if it does.

      Do you have a regular exercise regimen?

  24. mike says:

    No i don’t do regular exercise.I just started last week as you recommended.
    I have been taking Renew life probiotics and even digestive enzymes since October of 2011,while it has helped me tremendously,it failed to knock out the problem.Right now as type this,my tongue is more yellowish than whitish.The homeopath I was working with before told me,I may be having bile reflux but four months with him was not fruitful that was why I decided to seek for further help.

  25. degi1109 says:

    Hi Joe, my son has had silent reflux since 2weeks old, not really treated with medication and has been pretty subtle till around the age of 4 months. At 4 months he started refusing to nurse or bottle feed, unless wI took him into a dark quiet room with noone around. Even then he’d need to be sleepy to take the breast or bottle. Lately, he started refusing the bottle and will only take breast even when sleepy. His weight gain slowed down where he only gained 0.5ozs in a month. He’s now 5.5 months old and about 16 lbs and 26.75 inches. He has a lot of interest in solids so we started him on oatmeal cereal and baby purees around 4 months, since we were so concerned with him not eating anything. I took him to multiple pediatricians and a GI specialist. Everyone says he seems happy and doesn’t need any upper gi exams etc. Right now he is on zantac for 1ml, twice a day. It helped a bit in the beginning but no effect now I believe. His nose is also always congested, and it gets more congested if we suction him. Can I try to use Nat Phos 6X therapy on him? If so, what dosage Nd how often? Also could you recommend anything for his comgestion? Or it could improve by treating his reflux? He doesn’t spit up much but has frequent burps during feeding and willpull off every minute and arch his back. I nurse him or give him a bottle of breastmilk that I pumped. But with him not wanting to eat, my supply has been dropping and I’m going back to work in January with no time to pump. Could you suggest a suitable formula? We tried spacing out his feeds as the GI suggested and not feeding when sleepy, but he will go over 6 hra without anything to eat or drink, so we dropped that method. It seems he really associates pain with eating. Thank you for your help in advance!

    • Joe says:

      I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I hope will help your baby too.
      You are advised to STOP ALL SOLIDS till he is around 8 months of age to ensure that he is ready for solids.

      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.

  26. Degi1109 says:

    Thank you for a quick response! Just to clarify, if I can’t exceed 6 tablets a day for the Nat Phos 6X, is it better to give it to him after every feed during the day till he maxes out and then not to give any during the night? He usually eats every 2-3 hrs during the day and sleeps from 9-10pm till 4-5am and waking up 2-3 hrs after that.

    Thank you!

  27. degi1109 says:

    so far i have given him 4 doses of Nat Phos as instructed above. He has been a bit fussier than usual while awake, arching and crying after a feeding (he usually only latches off and arches, never cries). but has slept very well during his one nap. He doesn’t take very long naps but today he did 2.5 hrs! Not sure whether the extra fussiness is due to the stopping of the Zantac. Please advise! Also, should I cut the Nat Phos dosage down to half tablet tomorrow? Thank you!

  28. degi1109 says:

    Actually, I’m wondering if his fussiness today is due to teething as well? His first tooth is cutting out…

    • Joe says:

      I saw your post coming in just before I went to bed around midnight and am glad that I responded immediately by copying my default therapy for Baby GERD to help him.

      Glad to learn that in just about 6 hours your Baby has shown some improvement in his response after a feed and that he has slept for 2.5 hours. This improvement will hopefully continue and you can expect his digestive system which is not ready for solids to stabilise in a few weeks. The PPI drug you were prescribed is the only recourse that doctors have been instructed to prescribe and when it does not work as you have already witnessed, they increase the dose with some disastrous results.

      Yours is the standard reaction as confirmed by hundreds of mothers, some of whom were desperate for both their babies and for themselves as their babies had been subjected to many months of the dangerous and poisonous PPI drugs like Zantac which were prescribed by their doctors and for themselves as the parents, usually the mother, did not have a wink of sleep !.

      You may not be aware that Nat Phos 6x is a therapy I have pioneered and prescribed to literally hundreds of mothers to treat their babies’ GERD and it is only very rarely that I have to prescribe another remedy if the NP alone does not work. In any event NP is NOT a DRUG and is absolutely safe in use for both adults and babies.

      It is best not to stop the NP after you have given 6 tablets, dissolved in milk or water. You can then give half a tablet and observe his response. If he does not still stabilize, please report progress to me and I shall then prescribe another remedy to help him.

  29. degi1109 says:

    Hi Joe, my son has slept from 11pm to 4:30 am last night (his usual sleep at night) and nursed on one side and went to sleep right back till 8:30 am (a longer stretch of time than usual). I didn’t give him the Nat Phos at 4:30 am, since he was sleeping so deeply. We just gave him the full tablet of Nat Phos after the 8:30 am feeding. Should I give him same doses as yesterday, or cut it down to half? He spit up a little this morning, but nothing painful or extreme. The remedy is working well for his reflux, the only thing I’m wondering now is how to get him to take a bottle. But I think that should the resolve itself, once he starts daycare and his reflux is gone! Thank you JOe!

    • degi1109 says:

      He has been doing so well this morning, and this afternoon he’s not eating very well, I tried feeding him every 1-2 hrs, but he just arches and won’t go near the breast. Or he would latch off after only 2 minutes. He seems to have a lot of gas as well. Otherwise, he’s happy! He napped well in the morning for an hour and again two naps for an hour and another for 40min in the afternoon. He only had 2 doses of Nat Phos today, as he only ate fully at 8:30am and 10:30 am. Should I still give him a dose of Nat Phos if he only eats for 2 mins?

      • Joe says:

        There is no reason to worry about your baby merely because he does not suckle on one day. If he does not feed today it is very likely that he will do so tomorrow when you can report his response.

        • degi1109 says:

          However that has been one of my primary concerns in the original post that he doesn’t eat enough for almost two months now. He gained only half a pound in that period. Also, I’m still unclear on whether to continue giving him a full tablet of Nat Phos or can now start to reduce it? I read also another mom had success with adding some other remedy to reinforce the Nat Phox effect, i think it was Nux Vomica? Thanks in advance!

          • Joe says:

            Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose given twice daily before a feed will reinforce the effect of Nat Phos.

            You can add the NV to the NP you are already giving him and report his response.

            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.

    Hello,
    My son has silent reflux. He is 8 weeks old. He sounds like an old man & monkey at certain times of the day. For the most part he is a really happy baby but then when he is in pain it’s awful to watch. He is breast fed & supplemented with formula. (Earths best for sensitive tummies).
    Feedings vary from day to day I guess depending on comfort level. He will sometimes take 2 ounces sometimes 4 ounces. He loves the breast but I don’t have enough milk.
    The last couple of weeks he seemed to be getting better & the last 3 days have been awful for him. I’m not sure what the change is other than I had a really bad sinus infection & had to start antibiotics.
    I see your treatments of nat phos for other children, but I figured I should consult with you before treating him. Your help is greatly appreciated!

    • Joe says:

      It is possible that your baby’s current distress was caused by your breast milk which is tainted with the antibiotic you used for your sinus infection which has in turn, affected his digestion as your milk would have eliminated the bacteria needed for digesting the milk.

      You can increase your milk flow by taking Arnica 30c in the Wet dose thrice daily made as per instructions I shall add at the foot of this post. Please note that the Arnica is only for you and NOT baby.

    Hi Dr Joseph,

    I’ve been reading your blogs and am hoping you can help me. I’ve a 7 week old daughter who has been suffering from “GERD” I believe. She is breastfed. She cries when burped, and takes a long time to eat. We have extensively researched your postings and have started a regiment of Nat Phos – 1 tablet dissolved in milk after each feeding. We have been doing this for about 44 hours. During the first 24 hrs the baby seemed to have been improving her eating – not stopping, and not seeming uncomfortable or arching her back when feeding. We have always consistently burped her during the feed and continue to do so… In the last 18 hrs or so the baby has been screaming every time before she goes to sleep and she seems to not be eating as well as she did during the first 24 hours.

    Mother has also been taking two Nat Pho tabs after each feeding.

    I look forward to your advice and recommendations. We have not tried Nux Vomica or anything else except the Nat Phos dosage – which we are continuing to use.

    • Joe says:

      Glad to learn that you have researched the therapy I have listed on my Website and have already commenced giving your 7 week old daughter Nat Phos as instructed. You have not however stated the potency of the NP and I presume that it is 6x as this is very important. Please confirm.

      I note that you have mentioned that it had helped for a few feeds but that baby does not show the same signs of comfort you observed previously right now. At 7 weeks this is not unusual as her digestion has to stabilize and I am happy to note that you have NOT consulted a doctor who would invariably have prescribed the only drug they have been instructed to give which is the dangerous PPI drugs like Zantac, Nexium or Prevacid, all of which are equally dangerous and will only work for a brief period at considerable risk to the innocent infant.

      If you really feel that she needs another remedy, you already are aware of the next step which is to use Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose given twice daily.

  33. Kristin W says:

    Hi Joseph,

    Thank you for your response. Yes the baby has been taking Nat Phos 6X 1 tablet dissolved in milk after each feed. She still seems to be uncomfortable and cries when burping. She cries frequently from what I presume is the acid. Should I increase my dosage of the Nat Phos to see if that will help? I read about the Nux Vomica but I am unsure whether to give it to her at this point? I have given her some gripe water as needed when she seems to be in pain and that seems to comfort her.
    Do you recommend taking the Nux Vomica at this point or continue to wait? How do you give the Nux Vomica and for how long can she use it for? Is it

    How long may the baby stay on Nat Phos? Is it safe for prolonged use? I read that it can also cause weight loss in the baby.

    Is it common for the baby to be licking her lips while taking Nat Phos? It seems like our baby is licking her lips frequently since taking the Nat Phos.

    Also, her stomach seems to be making lots of loud gurgling noises. Is this normal? Her bowel movements have also slowed down to 1X every other day. She isn’t going everyday.

    Thanks in advance for your help. I’m hopeful that this will work for our baby as I do not want to put her on the PPI’s. We live in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

    Thank you
    Kristin

    Thanks in advance for your help. I’m hopeful that this will work for our baby as I do not want to put her on the PPI’s. We live in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

    Thank you

    Dear Joe De Livera –

    I was wondering if you could please respond to the above post from Kristin W. Thank you sir.

    Hi Joe,

    Can you please respond to the above post from Kristin W. Thank you

  37. Jake says:

    My apologies Joe De Livera. Thank you sir.

  38. Kristin says:

    Thank you for your response. Yes the baby has been taking Nat Phos 6X 1 tablet dissolved in milk after each feed. She still seems to be uncomfortable and cries when burping. She cries frequently from what I presume is the acid. Should I increase my dosage of the Nat Phos to see if that will help? I read about the Nux Vomica but I am unsure whether to give it to her at this point? I have given her some gripe water as needed when she seems to be in pain and that seems to comfort her.
    Do you recommend taking the Nux Vomica at this point or continue to wait? How do you give the Nux Vomica and for how long can she use it for? Is it

    How long may the baby stay on Nat Phos? Is it safe for prolonged use? I read that it can also cause weight loss in the baby.

      It is now time to give baby the Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose, which I presume you know how to make, twice daily.

      Please note that Nat Phos 6x is a Biochemic Cell Salt which is absolutely safe in use for babies and adults and you can do a Google to check it.

      Nux Vomica 30c is not for daily use but can be given as directed to reinforce the action of NP.

      Report progress.

      Don’t worry about baby losing weight with the NP. It has never occurred. The mother can do so if she takes 2 tablets after every meal.

  39. Kristin W says:

    Dear Joe De Livera,

    Thank you for your response. We will purchase the NYC vomica 30c this morning. I presume they may only have the tablets and I have found on your website how to mix into the wet formula. How many times do we give the dosage and in what quantity? How many days? When should we see improvement?

    Baby seems to be less interested in eating now because she is probably in pain. She is holding down her bumps and gets cranky to avoid letting the burp come up.

    Mother is only taking NP should she be taking anything else in addition? Thank you sir

      You will mix 6 pellets into a 500ml bottle of spring water and you will give her a dose twice daily before a feed.

      You will continue with the Nat Phos 6x as usual.

      Do you give her any solids today?

  41. Kristin W says:

    Dear Joe DeLivera,

    Thank you very much for your response. How long should we give her the Nux Vomica for? We started that today. We are also still giving the Nat Phos after every feed. I am taking the Nat Phos three times a day. Should I take the Arnica as well? If so what dosage and how often. The baby is exclusively breast feed and doesn’t get any solids. She is almost 8 weeks old. Is there anything else I should be doing? I’m desperate to help her.

    We very much appreciate your help.

    Kristin

    • Joe says:

      It is now time you stopped bugging me every day with inane questions like asking me for how long you should give baby Nux Vomica when you have started her on this remedy just today. How can you expect me to subscribe to “counting the chickens before the eggs are hatched” ?

      Both you and your husband Jake seem to feel that you can continue to BUG me on a twice daily basis possibly because I have responded so far to your question and that free of charge. I remember that both of you addressed me as Joe and later Joseph without any regard for the fact that I am entitled to some respect and resent when addressed in the manner that you have done.

      You must know that I am 85 years of age and am NOT a professional Homeopath. Homeopathy to me is only a Hobby to which I am dedicated and I help hundreds of thousands of patients throughout the world to achieve a better state of health with my “Joepathy” through my Website.

      I have tolerated your joint posts and have tried to help you for the sake of your baby up to now, but I feel that you are taking unfair advantage of my kindness. You are hereby warned that my patience is wearing thin and if you continue at this rate, you will compel me to withdraw from your case.

  42. Kristin says:

    Dear Joe De Livera,

    Thank you for your help. We have been on The combination of NP and Nux Vomica now for about 20 hrs. The baby still seems fussy and seems like it is hurting her to burp. Typically she takes a nap between 8am and 10am between her feelings, but today she did not. Please advise on your suggestions.

    Mother is not taking Arnica just NP.

    Thank you for your time and your effort to help our baby. We appreciate it.

      I prefer not to prescribe other remedies to treat her hyperacidity right now but there are many that can do so. Stay with the current therapy and report in 48 hours.

      I presume that mother is also taking Nat Phos 6x which she will pass over to baby in her milk.

  44. Kristin W says:

    Dear Mr. DeLivera,

    Thank you for your response. We have been giving the baby Nux Vomica along with Nat Phos for 48 hours. Mother has also been taking Nat Phos 3X per day. Baby cries and screams while trying to burp. She is sometimes okay when burping but still seems to be uncomfortable especially when burping.
    Please advise if we should continue on Nux Vomica and Nat
    Phos or if we should stop the Nux Vomica.

    Thanks in advance

    • Joe says:

      It is not uncommon to have babies presenting GERD in various manifestations in the first 6 months of their lives. I believe yours is just 8 weeks of age and you must consider your baby as fortunate that she does not bring up her feed which many do.

      Her main problem seems to be the inability to burp which she does with some distress in spite of the Nat Phos 6x and Nux Vomica 30c.

      Replace the Nux Vomica with Pulsatilla 30c given twice daily in the Wet dose and report response.

  45. Kristin W says:

    Dear Mr. Delivera,

    Thank you for your response. We have stopped Nux Vomica and begun the pulsatilla 30c in the wet dose for almost 24 hours. However, since stopping Nux Vomica baby seems to be uncomfortable and is not sleeping well in addition to difficulty burping. We have yet to see a difference with the pulsatilla. Should we give baby the Nux Vomica as well or instead of the pulsatilla

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Dr. Joe De Livera,
    First i want to say sorry, because i took so long to write back. I was trying to get the medicine, the ones that i ordred on internet never got here, my friend sent to me but they didnt let it get in to the country.

    But finaly she ll be here in Brazil in only two days and she is bring me everything, the NAT PHOS, Arnica and Nux vomica.

    My precious daughter Maria is not doing well, worse than before. I am so sad. I really hope the treatment work. I am sorry bc i didnt wrote before i am just very sad seen her like that, she needs to gain weight too, but the reflux dont let her. Everything she eat goes out! I am glad that the medications ll be here soon!

    Hope you still can Help me.
    thanks

        I have faith on your therapy. God and your therapy are my only hope.

        • Joe says:

          You must please read and UNDERSTAND my therapy which I have already prescribed for your baby.

          I have clearly instructed you to start with the Nat Phos 6x.

          “or should i start the Arnica and Nux vomica too?”
          Have I instructed you to use the Arnica and Nux Vomica too for baby?

  47. Kristin W says:

    Dear Mr. Delivera,

    Thank you for your response and advice. We have stopped the pulsatilla and began Nux vomica again. The Nux seems to be helping her but she still remains uncomfortable. We will complete 24 hours soon so I wanted to know how many days I can keep her on the Nux vomica. As there is a time difference I don’t want to give her the Nux if it’s not safe to do
    So for more than 48 hours.Previously we stopped after 48 hours.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best Regards,
    Kristin

    • Joe says:

      You seem to mistake Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose as prescribed for some “POISON”.

      IT IS NOT at 30c. It is being prescribed and has been used by millions of patients in the past 250 years.

      You have already discovered that it helped baby in under 24 hours and all I can do is to prescribe a remedy and it is up to the patient to use it or reject it.

  48. Kristin W says:

    Dear Mr. Delivera,

    I wanted to update you on my daughter’s status. We have been giving her nat phos and nux vomica in the wet dose since August 7th. She seems to be feeling much better and only infrequently is uncomfortable while eating. She still is uncomfortable while burping but for the most part is much better. Thank you for your advice, we are so grateful that she
    Is feeling better. Should I continue the same treatment and for how long.

    Thanks again for your help. We were lost without your advice.

    Thanks
    Kristin

    • Joe says:

      Glad to learn that in just 3 weeks your baby daughter seems to have responded to my therapy and you may now observe how she will respond without the Nux Vomica.

      You will continue to give her the Nat Phos 6x as long as you feel that she benefits from it.

  49. Kristin W says:

    Dear Mr. Delivera,

    Thank you for your response. I
    Stopped the Nux Vomica for 24 hours but my daughter became very uncomfortable again while eating and was crying during her feeds. I started the Nux again this morning as that seems to make her feel better. Can I continue this treatment for another few weeks? It doesn’t seem like the nat phos works on it’s own. Both baby and I continue to take the nat phos.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    my internet is not good thats why i haven’t send va quickly answer, Maria still with reflux and don’t want eat.. she just drink her milk whenever is sleeping and also cries a lot. i think she got a cold
    i am tired it not easy at all
    thanks Rosa

    • Joe says:

      You can add Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily and 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. If you cannot get the Liquid produce you may use the standard pellets and you will use 6 pellets per bottle of water. You will 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.

  51. Kristin W says:

    Dear Mr. Delivera,

    I’ve started the nux vomica
    Again as she was really uncomfortable and crying to eat. She seems to be better on the Nux vomica in addition to the Nat Phos. How long should she stay on the Nux?

    Thanks on advance for your help.

    Kristin

    • Joe says:

      Nux V in the Wet dose twice daily can be given over a long period and you can reduce the quantity to the minimum that will help to keep her happy. It is far safer than any one of the drugs like Zantac which are prescribed by peds.

      Nat Phos 6x is absolutely safe and can be used for as long as she needs it.

  52. Kristin W says:

    Dear Mr. Delivera,

    I hope you have been well and in good health. It has been a long time since I have posted as our daughter seemed to be doing well and feeling good. Now for the past week and a half, she appears to be uncomfortable again while eating and does not sleep well. We are still giving the Nux V twice daily in the wet dose and have not been able to reduce the quantity given as she began to get uncomfortable again. So we went back to the original dosage. She is also spitting up a lot more than she used too and is uncomfortable while burping. In addition, we are still giving her the nat phos 6x after every feed and I continue to take it as well. Is there anything else we should give her or should we stop the Nux V.

    Thanks in advance for any advice you may provide.

    Best,
    Kristin

  53. Gabrielle says:

    I am hoping you will be able to tell me what you would suggest for my seven week old son. He is 11lbs and has been having reflux issues since about 11 days old. He seems to be getting worse. When he is bothered by the reflux he is squirming a lot/almost jumping in pain, gurgling, gagging on spit up that works it’s way back up, wheezing, chewing, tilting his head back. I am hoping you will reply to this and help me know what I should do for him. I don’t know anything about homeopathics really expect for the few times I have tried them they have worked. I talked w our local health food store and they have ordered nat phos 6x for me bc I had read that you suggested that for other people on your site. I am just wanting you to tell me specifically what dose and how to administer which homeopathics to my son since he is only 7weeks old. Thank you very much.

    • Joe says:

      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.

      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 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.

      • Gabrielle says:

        Thank you!! I just saw that you replyed to me. We have not vaccinated our son at all and don’t plan to do so. Thank you on the advice on solids. Our daughter had a lot of reflux and food sensitivity issues and we had to wait until after a year to introduce solids because when we tried earlier she was worse and reacted to so many things. The local health food store ordered and gave my husband when he picked it up for me nat phos 10x. I am planning on going tomorrow and asking why they got that and not tbe 6x. I am going to return it unless you say it is the right one or is ok to use. Thank you!!

        • Joe says:

          You must get the Nat Phos 6x as the 10x cannot be given to a baby.

        • Gabrielle says:

          When I took the box that said 10 on it back the girl helping me realized that it was 6x. We are starting the nat phos today and will see how he does. Thank you!

          • Gabrielle says:

            Thank you for the quick responses I have greatly appreciated your help!!! Once we realized the box I had was in fact 6x we started treatment that afternoon (Wednesday) and immediately felt our son was doing better. He seemed much calmer already that evening. He had a great night that night and did great until Friday morning. Throughout the day he didn’t seem uncomfortable he just didn’t sleep well. He woke up at 3:30 this morning (Saturday) and was miserable after nursing for three hours. Throughout the day he has been uncomfortable–squirmy, lots of wet burps, runny stools, throwing himself back and crying out in pain after every feeding and waking up early from naps doing all of the above.

            I was wondering if you would have me to continue as I have been using the directions you have already told me to do or if you would have me to do something different? He nursed an hour ago and is still having reflux symptoms as he tries to sleep. I just hate hearing and seeing him uncomfortable. He has been trying to clear his nose quite a bit today too–it is like the reflux comes into his nose and he is trying to get it out.

            Also one other thing. When I got pregnant with our son I had to wean our three year old. But since having our son she has started nursing at least three times a day. As I mentioned before she had reflux issues until at least 18 months of age. As she has continued to nurse she has been saying her belly hurts at random times and has been burping really hard after nursing and today she was waking up from a nap and I was laying next to her and I could hear her throat gurgling and then she coughed and started crying because it had come back up in her mouth. Do you think it is ok to keep nursing her? Will she benefit from the nat phos I am taking or should I be giving her anything. I can’t get her to tell me any more than her belly hurts and it doesn’t seem to be bad enough to make her stop doing normal activities. Except she has not slept well since our son was born. She will say ” mama , my belly hurts” and push on her belly 1-2 times a day and them go on doing whatever it was she was doing.

            • Joe says:

              Glad to note that your baby son has responded as expected to my Nat Phos 6x therapy.

              You also state that you are still breast feeding your 3 year old daughter whom you weaned when your son arrived and that she too complains ” mama , my belly hurts”.

              Quite frankly I have never had a parallel case to yours where you are breast feeding a 3 year old daughter and a baby son both of whom you are breast feeding together.

              Dont you think that the obvious answer is to stop breast feeding your 3 year old daughter who is obviously on solids and seems to be uncomfortable with your breast milk to which she seems to be allergic?

    • Joe says:

      I have been treating your baby for the last 2 months and believe that she has come a long way as far as her Reflux is concerned.

      It is possible that her problem is due to excess production of Hydrochloric acid and you can give her:
      Robinia Pseudacacia 30c in the Wet dose twice daily

      You will stop the Nux Vomica and replace it with the remedy above and report her response in 48 hours.
      Continue the Nat Phos 6x as usual.

  55. Kristin W says:

    Good evening Mr. Delivera,

    We have stopped the Nux Vomica for a few days and started the Robinia Pseudacia 30 c in the wet dose. We continue to provide the Nat Phos with every feed. It has been 48 hours and the baby seems to be the same if not a bit worse. She is uncomfortable to eat and burp. She cries and arches her back often. Additionallly, her voice seems to be a bit hoarse now I presume because of the acid. She is not sleeping well and finds it uncomfortable to lay down. We use a wedge in her crib to prop her up higher. Should we continue with the Robinia Pseudacia? I know it can sometimes take a few days for a homeopathic remedy to work. Thanks for your help.

    Best Regards,
    Kristin

    As an aside, have you heard about another remedy from Hyland called 12 tissue salt. It is apparently believed that it can cure any disease because it is often due to a lack of one of the essential 12 salts. I just learned about this the other day and was interested to hear what you thought of it.

    • Joe says:

      You the parents will be better able to observe her response to the Robinia and compare it with her response to the Nux Vomica, than me.

      Use whichever of the 2 remedies you feel gives a better result.

      Maintain the Nat Phos 6x.

      I have not had any information to the Hylands product but there would be no harm in trying it out as they are all BIochemic Cell Salts.

      I hope that you are not giving baby any solids, as some parents are foolish enough to do so at 3 months and are surprised at the result.

  56. julie77 says:

    Good Morning Mr De Livera

    I followed your therapy for GERD 2 months ago when my daughter At this time my daughter was 4 months. This was very successful.

    2 months later symptoms have returned. I have been repeating the therapy for a few days & although there is a very slight improvement the symptoms have not dissappeared completely as before. I can hear the fluid come up into her mouth & her swallow. Sometimes this catches her breath.

    When I completed the therapy the first time I did not have to use nux vomica as the nat phos worked. Do you think this time I need to use nux vomica 30c?

    If so how would I give this? I only have nux vomica in 30c pellet form.

    Thank you for your time

    • Joe says:

      You will continue to use my therapy for as long as she needs it.
      Use the Nux Vomica sparingly but it is not harmful if used in the manner prescribed.
      6 pellets in a 500ml bottle of water.
      A teaspoonful is a dose.

  57. julie77 says:

    Hello Mr De Livera

    Thank you very much for your speedy reply.

    I will continue with your therapy.

    How many doses would I give of the Nux Vomica?

    Also when would I give it to her if I am still using Nat Phos as well.

    Thank you

    • Joe says:

      You can give her a teaspoon full of the remedy water twice daily about half hour before a feed.

      Has she caught a cold? I ask the question as the reflux in some babies seems to worsen with a cold.

    • Joe says:

      You must READ AND UNDERSTAND my advice as contained in my last post addressed to you where I clearly advised you to give a dose of Nux v twice daily.

      I am trying to do a service for suffering humanity, especially babies like yours, who would otherwise be in the tender care of pediatricians who would have invaribly prescribed a dangerous PPI drug like Nexium, Prevacid, Zantac or others which will work in the short term but not in the long term.

      My therapy will hopefully CURE your baby of her GERD and Reflux when I would expect you to report her progress, if only for my personal satisfaction. You may like to know that it is only a very small percentage of my patients whom I have helped to overcome many ailments and diseases which I do without any cost, ever think of keeping me informed of their response after they were cured. This is, I presume, human nature.

      You are only making my task even harder by posing questions which I have already answered even before you asked them.

      At my advanced age of 86 years I find them disconcerting.

  58. Julie says:

    I am sorry your last post has confused me?

    When I posted the second time I knew a dose was a teaspoon I was merely clarifying how many doses & when to give the nux vomica.

    I thought I best to do this rather than just give it at the same time as nat phos.

    If I have offended you I apologise but that was not my intention.

  59. Becky says:

    I started one tablet of Phos. Nat 6x after each feed for my 5 month old son yesterday and it seems to have aggravated his reflux. It was under control during the day and he wakes just one time in the middle of night crying in pain and kicking legs in the air. Will the reflux get worse before it gets better? How long should I continue giving the tablet of phos nat 6x before stopping it ?

    • Joe says:

      I do not have any record of prescribing for your baby and am glad to note that you have obviously read my therapy aka “Joepathy” and are already using Nat Phos 6x which I note you are giving baby after every feed. This should have helped him to overcome his Baby GERD and I am somewhat surprised to learn that :
      ” it seems to have aggravated his reflux”

      I cannot believe this so called aggravation and would like to know if you have added solids to his feed.

      Answering your question about Nat Phos 6x you can safely give it to baby or adults for as long as it is helping them.
      NP is NOT a drug and you can look it up on Google under
      Nat Phos 6x Biochemic Cell Salt

    Hi Joe,

    Here goes…my baby just turned 6 months old and has been suffering from GERD for 6 months. He’s been on Famotidine for 3 of those months and Nat Phos for around 2 months. He still has terrible pain from silent reflux and a lot of trouble feeding as well. The reflux interferes with his ability to nurse and upon recommendation from a homeopath 3 days ago, I started him on Aethusa 30 twice a day…he seems to be responding to it but is still having pain while nursing n needing to be consoled.
    I would appreciate your help and prayers as im tired of seeing my baby in pain.

      I noticed that you have addressed me by my given name, Joe.
      I do not permit being addressed by name on my website, as I only permit my peers and close friends to do so.

      Here in Sri Lanka where I live, we have a modicum of respect for age.
      I am 86 and perhaps old enough to be your Grandfather.

  61. Nadia Faizi says:

    Also I’ve started him on solids, rice mainly. His weight gain is also very slow due to which the doctor has prescribed him Fantomalt

  62. Nadia Faizi says:

    Noted Mr. Delivera. I meant no disrespect.
    Do you have any advice for me please?

    • Joe says:

      I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed for hundreds of babies and which I hope will help your baby too.

      I am very surprised that your paediatrician prescribed Famotidine which is a drug defined as:
      “Famotidine, sold under the trade name Pepcid among others is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production. It is commonly used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease.”

      I cannot understand the reason why an infant is given a drug that is suited to adults to treat a simple case of Baby GERD and I shudder to think of the damage that it would have caused to your baby up to now.
      To add to the problem you stated that you have started baby on solids at age 6 months and I am not surprised that he reacts in the manner that he has done today. You will please revert back to breast milk and if you are not lactating sufficiently you can take Arnica 6c in the Wet dose to increase your supply

      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.

      You will give baby half a tablet dissolved in milk a few minutes before every feed and the balance half immediately after a feed but you will not exceed a total of 6 tablets (12 halves) 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 every 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 2 years old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
      Do not give the MMR Vaccine in One shot as there is plenty of evidence on the Web of severe side effects which can result. You are advised to give it in 3 separate shots if you must do so, after baby is 2 years old.

      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.

      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.

      You will stop all other drugs you may be giving baby if you start on my therapy.

  63. Nadia Faizi says:

    Dear Mr. De livera
    Thank you so much for your prompt reply, I had already been giving my baby Nat phos 6 tablets a day but I will now start giving them in the manners you prescribed. I had a few questions if you don’t mind:
    1) I’ve read online that Nat Phos helps in weight loss and even babies lose weight while on it, my baby has a tough time gaining weight as it is and he is underweight for his age. Could Nat Phos be making this aspect worse?
    2) you mentioned that you prescribe another remedy to reinforce Nat Phos when there are no results, do you think I should start them now as I have been giving Nat Phos already for more then a month?
    Thank you again. And rest assured i will contact you about my baby’s progress as Im sure you will be keen to know also

    • Joe says:

      You have not indicated for how long you have given Nat Phos 6x and I shall then indicate the additional remedy which I only prescribe if a baby does not respond to the Nat Phos alone.

      I would like to know how you first came to know of this remedy which I first identified many years ago. You must know that it is NOT the standard classical homeopathic remedy prescribed for babies as I was the first to do so in 2002, as far as I remember.

      Nat Phos 6x will only reduce weight if the patient is Obese and not otherwise. I have never had a report that a baby has lost any weight if it is given in the manner prescribed. Half tablet before and the balance after a feed dissolved in milk or water.
      You can weigh your baby on a Digital baby scale and report if his weight drops.

  64. Nadia Faizi says:

    Sure Mr. Delivers, my mothers brother (my uncle) runs a small homeopathic store here in Pakistan and he told me to start giving my baby Nat Phos around 3 months ago.

    • Joe says:

      I note that you now address me by another name and I hope that you will not repeat it in future:
      “Sure Mr. Delivers”

      Why did you NOT give your baby Nat Phos 3 months ago?

      • Nadia Faizi says:

        Sorry Mr. Delivera, i wrote your name the way it is spelt but my phone Auto-Corrected it because it didnt recognise it. I actually HAVE been giving my baby Nat Phos for the last 3 months and I haven’t seen a remarkable difference as yet.
        Is there anything else that I can do to help him? Hes in a lot of pain and has recently started screaming in a hoarse voice. He feeds well for one minute but then as soon as the milk enters his tummy the pain begins. It’s very difficult to watch him suffer this way.

        • Joe says:

          You are already using my default therapy, Nat Phos 6x for Baby GERD and I hope that you are giving half tablet before and the balance after a feed for the last few months. You state that he is still in some discomfort after a feed.

          It seems to me that Baby is not responding to the Nat Phos 6x alone and it is time to add Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose to reinforce its action.
          You will make it as per instructions below and give half teaspoonful, twice daily.

          The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

          Get Nux Vomica 30c in the standard pellets and insert just 6 pellets into a 500ml bottle of Spring Water.
          Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
          Shake the bottle hard before you give baby half teaspoonful twice daily.

          You will stop the Nux Vomica as soon as you find that baby is OK but you will continue the Nat Phos for as long as you feel that it is needed. NP is NOT a drug and is absolutely safe in use for long periods.

          Report progress in 48 hours.

  66. Caroline M says:

    Mr. Delivera, hello, my breastfed 4month old son suffers from reflux since birth. Was prescribed Zantac at 2.5months old but it is definitely not helping, and I have done my research about baby GERD and fell upon your website and all its glorious information. I have ordered Nat Phos 6X and have started giving him 1tab every feed, for a total of 5 per day, for about a week now. He seems to be doing a little bit better, but not back to completely normal health. He will still cry in pain sometimes and spit up between feeds. I really want to avoid giving him Zantac anymore (stopped last week) as I fear it is not safe at all for him, but what should be the next step here? He is not gaining much weight at all anymore for the past 2months. And no gain for 2 wks now. Please, can you help us? -signed, a worried mama.

    • Joe says:

      Glad to note that you “I have ordered Nat Phos 6X and have started giving him 1tab every feed, for a total of 5 per day, for about a week now.”

      If you read any of my latest prescriptions for Baby GERD you will find that I have since amended my therapy to Half tablet BEFORE a feed and the balance AFTER. Many mothers have reported better results with this method and you too should discover this same result.

      You are fortunate that you discovered my Website as I shudder to think of the severe after effects that mothers have reported after giving their babies the standard PPI drugs like Zantac and Nexium which seem to affect their mental development.

      I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed for hundreds of babies and 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.

        So, we’ve been doing this for about a week now and it helped for a few days but now he seems even more reflux-y. He swallows hard and it seems like acid is up in his mouth between feeds. It sounds like gurgling. What do I do now?

        • Joe says:

          Have you followed the protocol below, half tablet before and after a feed?

          “You will give baby half a tablet dissolved in milk a few minutes before every feed and the balance half immediately after a feed but you will not exceed a total of 6 tablets (12 halves) in 24 hours.”

          • Caroline M says:

            Yes, that is exactly what I have been doing.

            • Joe says:

              It seems to me that Baby is not responding to the Nat Phos 6x alone and it is time to add Robinia Pseudacacia 6c in the Wet dose to reinforce its action by reducing the acid.

                Hello Mr. Delivera,
                I have been here before for my now almost 3 year old son, back in 2016 when he was 4 months old. We did okay for 12months and now have major uncontrolled reflux and Zantac makes things worse. I am done trying with doctors to find him relief so I am coming for your help again.

                He is 3, but he is the size of a child half his age. He weighs just 24lbs and is barely on the charts for height. He has GERD and major GI allergies (FPIES) to almost everything. At the moment, he has 4 safe foods (peaches, parsnips, cauliflower and zucchini only), plus his specialized formula. He is not growing. I’m at the end of my rope here and doctors don’t care. They just use the wait and see approach for the past 2yrs. ENOUGH! So I’m asking for your help to at least focus on his reflux for now. He needs to feel better. He has so many complex medical needs/diagnoses, I want him to at least feel good. Can you help? How much Nat Phos do I give him at this point? Is there something better for an older toddler?? HELP!

                Thank you in advance 🙂

                • Joe says:

                  “He is 3, but he is the size of a child half his age. He weighs just 24lbs and is barely on the charts for height. He has GERD and major GI allergies (FPIES) to almost everything. “

                  Your report above seems to indicate that your baby is suffering from some other ailment in addition to GERD which you state I have already helped you to eliminate with my default Nat Phos 6x therapy.

                  It is also likely that the diet you listed is deficient in protein and you will consult a dietitian about adding more protein rich food into his diet.

                  In the meanwhile you can give him a tablet of Nat Phos 6x after every meal and report response in 48 hours.

                  • Caroline says:

                    Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, proteins are not an option at the moment. We have failed over 30 food trials. We are working with a gastroenterologist, nutritionist, allergist, cardiologist, neurologist, etc. But I will trial giving him the 1 tablet after every meal option and get back to you.

    Hello,

    Our 13 months old boy has been suffering form severe reflux, that is most present at night. He is waking up couple of times, screaming in pain and does not want to be held. Only thing that would calm him is breast feeding, but that amount of milk is not doing him good as it is only worsening his problem. I know plan to wean him off, but don’t know what to do to calm his reflux at night. He has been on 10mg of Controloc for the past few days, which is very serious medication and I don’t want to continue giving him that. Do you know where we can order Nat Phos as we live in Montenegro, Europe.

    Thank you

    • Joe says:

      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 half tablet dissolved in milk given immediately before with the balance 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.

      • Marigold85 says:

        Thank you so much, we will try that.

        Could you just please tell me if the tablets need to be dissolved in milk as he has 3-4 solid meals, or it can be done in water?

        Thanks,
        Marigold

        • Joe says:

          I had overlooked that he was 13 months and on solids.

          You can give him a full tablet after every meal but not to exceed 4 tablets a day.
          I had limited the NP6x to a max of 6 for babies who were inclined to projectile vomit which condition is usually treated with dangerous PPI drugs like Nexium or Prevacid which invariably make a bad situation infinitely worse.

  68. Shandi says:

    Hello Mr. Delivera
    I have spoke with you on a different forum about my 4 month old girl suffering from silent reflux.
    I can no longer find that same forum where we first spoke last month.
    I was waiting on my Rombina Perec. 30c to come in the mail because the Nat Phos 6 wasn’t working alone so you suggested I add that.
    It finally came in the mail but it’s in liquid form. 1/2 ounce and 20% alcohol.
    Will this work for the wet dose you speak of ? I will wait your response ! I’m desperate for a natural way to help my precious baby girl!
    Thank you for all your help thus far .

    • Joe says:

      I shall repeat my prescription for your baby with the Robinia Pseudacacia 30c below.
      You will use just 2 DROPS in 500ml water and you will give baby a teaspoonful twice daily as prescribed below:

      It seems to me that Baby is not responding to the Nat Phos 6x alone and it is time to add Robinia Pseudacacia 30c in the Wet dose to reinforce its action. This remedy will reduce the Hcl acid flow in baby’s stomach and works in a similar manner to the standard PPI drugs like Nexium which are usually prescribed by doctors even though they are aware that the y are dangerous.

      You will make it as per instructions below and give a teaspoonful, twice daily.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Get Robinia P 30c in the standard pellets and insert just 6 pellets into a 500ml bottle of Spring Water.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Shake the bottle hard before you give baby half teaspoonful twice daily.

      You will stop the Robinia as soon as you find that baby is OK but you will continue the Nat Phos for as long as you feel that it is needed. Nat Phos is NOT a drug and is absolutely safe in usefor long periods.

      Report progress in 48 hours.

    Hello,

    My 8month old haschool been on Zantac for 6 months and it stopped working. He wakes up at night and has irritated/swollen esophagus and nasal passge. He has gotten test done (swallow study, upper GI and camera in his nose down to throat) and is now beingr prescribed a stronger PPI. Before starting the heavy medication I’ve read and I am very impressed with what you do. I do prefer homeopathic/natural remedies then the western medicine. I tried the nat phos 6x and arnica (since I’m breastfeeding) and give him 6 dosages of the nat phos. For the first 48hr it was great. He wasn’t in pain anymore but I would still heard wet burps. Now he is in pain, spitting up, and waking up out of breath. I know he has two teeth that are cutting gums. Does teething make it worse? Because he will start to cry and I know crying makes his reflux worst. I apologize for not asking you first to start your therapy but I am desperate and so worries about him.

    • Angie says:

      He does eat solids 3x a day and still nurses at night and in between feeds. It’s hard to know when to give the nat phos

    • Joe says:

      Glad to learn that you have already started Baby on my default Nat Phos 6x therapy. It just breaks my heart to know that he has been the subject of some unnecessary experiments including Zantac for 6 months to fix his GERD, all of which were not successful.

      It is very likely that he is not ready for solids right now and you should discover if you stop them that all will be well.

      The teething may also be another reason.

  71. Angie says:

    At 8 months? He loves his puree foods. He even wants our food. He seems very interested in it. Would another remedy be better? Or at least during teething?

  72. Pow says:

    Please I’ve been using the Nat phos 6x after every feed but my baby still wakes up crying and swallowing, sometimes choking. Her night sleep has improved afternoon naps are short because of choking and gagging on acid I think. She doesn’t really vomit. She is 6 weeks old. Should I continue?

    • Joe says:

      I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed for hundreds of babies and which I hope will help your baby too. You stated:
      ” I’ve been using the Nat phos 6x after every feed but my baby still wakes up crying and swallowing,”

      The reason she is not responding is because you have given the NP6x after a feed as you must give the tablet in halves before and after a feed.

      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.

      You will give baby half a tablet dissolved in milk a few minutes before every feed and the balance half immediately after a feed but you will not exceed a total of 6 tablets (12 halves) in 24 hours.

    Wow. Indeed I’ve been doing it wrong. Thank you so much sir. I’ll send feedback soon.

  74. Daniela says:

    Dear Dr. DeLivera,

    Are there any alternatives to mixing the Nat Phos with milk after each feeding? I’m not sure it is feasible for me to express milk that often in addition to nursing. One of the reasons my son has reflux is that I have oversupply of breastmilk, which comes out too fast and leads him to swallow air. So expressing milk would lead me to produce even more (not to mention it is a bit time consuming). I know tablets dissolve so quickly, is it ok if I hold it on his tongue until it dissolves?

    Also, I noticed you recommend both burping and giving the remedy immediately after each feed. I assume burping would come first, is that correct? My baby usually spits up when he burps so I’m afraid otherwise he will expel the remedy.

    Thanks so much!

    • Joe says:

      I do not have any background information in your post of your baby’s GERD and I do not think that I have treated your son.

      Please copy and paste the post if I have prescribed for him together with your own post to enable me to advise you.

    Dear Sir

    I have been reading this website for a long time and have used natphos for sometime but it stopped workinv after few days so approached a classic honepath.
    My 6month old was born 4 week premature, has long list of birth defetcs such as tracheal oesopahgal fistula and oesophagal atresia which were oprated 5 days after her birth. Slight anomoly with ears physically however internally they function fine. Misaligned kidneys, facial tags, abherrant subclavian artery and partially fused s3 and s4 vertebraes. There is small tongue tie aswell as she tilts her head to one side.

    Since birth she has struggled with reflux and have gotchest infections few tkmes due ro acid aspiration.
    She sneezes, coughs, clicks tongue, has very hoarse sound gasps most times and none of classical honepath remdy has made much difference. Past 4 months she has had ante tart 30 c twice, sulphur 30 c twice, chamomilla 30c 3 times, lycopodiun 30 c 3times and now opium 30c 1. Which works for a day or so but she reverts back. They are also reluctant for me to continue to give her natphos.
    Doctor has prescribed renetidine and she is on maximjm doze for her age. I try stopping it many ma y times but it just makes her extremely upset and she has bloody streaks in her nappy.

    I am so fed up of all the remedies given by the homeopath as it is not working and it has been so long and also it is very costly as each consultation is charged for. Sorry for the very long post but I am desperate to get her right remedy. I have always breats fed her but at 2months she stopped latching on due to extreme pain and would cry and go stiff as board so I express and feed her since.

    Also her eeflux has never really settled so I dont know what actually make it worse. I do try avoid any and all spices, cabbage,cauliflaur beans etc also i try nkt to cosume more than 2 eggs per week or1 fish serving. Tomatoes apples and oranges or any other acidic citrus fruit. I also had my last thuja 200c doze 2weeks ago for my health issues so if you prescribe medication for baby for me to consune, will that antidote my treatment?

    She is struggling with her weighg and weighs 13pounds now at 6months. Sorry for a very long post but I feel that she will never get cured of this silent reflux and seeing her grunting in pain all the tine with horse sound is very depressing. I will be extremely obliged for all/any advice.

    Thankyou

      I was shocked to read the long list of birth defects including a cleft palate and they will all have to be dealt with in due course. The tongue tie is the first you should deal with as this is relevant to treat her GERD.

      I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD below. It seems to me that you are not using the Nat Phos 6x given in halves before and after a feed.

      You will ADD Robinia Pseudacacia to reduce her acid flow to her stomach as prescribed later in this post.

      I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed for hundreds of babies and 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.

      You will give baby half a tablet dissolved in milk a few minutes before every feed and the balance half immediately after a feed but you will not exceed a total of 6 tablets (12 halves) 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 every 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 2 years old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
      Do not give the MMR Vaccine in One shot as there is plenty of evidence on the Web of severe side effects which can result. You are advised to give it in 3 separate shots if you must do so, after baby is 2 years old.

      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.

      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.

      You will stop all other drugs you may be giving baby if you start on my therapy.

      It seems to me that Baby is not responding to the Nat Phos 6x alone and it is time to add Robinia Pseudacacia 30c in the Wet dose to reinforce its action. This remedy will reduce the Hcl acid flow in baby’s stomach and works in a similar manner to the standard PPI drugs like Nexium which are usually prescribed by doctors even though they are aware that they are dangerous.

      You will make it as per instructions below and give half teaspoonful, twice daily.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Get Robinia P 30c in the standard pellets and insert just 6 pellets into a 500ml bottle of Spring Water.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Shake the bottle hard before you give baby half teaspoonful twice daily.

      You will stop the Robinia as soon as you find that baby is OK but you will continue the Nat Phos for as long as you feel that it is needed. Nat Phos is NOT a drug and is absolutely safe in use for long periods.

      Report progress in 48 hours.

        Dear Sir

        I apologize for not getting in touch earlier but due ro her extensive health issues I was quite worried staying in touch online rather in person. Doctor prescribed her medication as soon as she started loosing weight soon after birth, at that time I was not aware of honeopathic remedies.

        Baby has cleft lip only, her palate is normal.

        I want to ask how to actually half tablet as toucing is not appropriate and when i do half with hands/knife it crumbles. I am givinvg her natphos currently hayland brand it is helping with wind alot.

        She feeds one or two ounces every hr to half an hour all day. So i put 4.5 oz/140ml in bottle and keep feeding all day basically. She taje sometjme 4, 5 or 6 bottles maximum in 24 hours. Otherwise she struggles with gaining weight. She cannot have more than 2 ounces of milk at a time. I always try burping her however she feeds while she is napping during day and morning milk she sleep feeds too.

        Is it ok to administer natphos 5mibutes before her feed and rest whenever she finishes the bottle?

        I have just placed ordef for robinia and will recive it most likely on monday. I live in west yorkshire and the pharmacies are very far from me to perrsonally collect and its saturday so kost are closed. Therefoere I will continue with natphos only, temporarily. I do have arnica weleda brand in oral liquid form if you recommend a treatment, i can start now.

        I also want to ask if I could please get treatment from you or someone you recommend, through modern/ combined and not classical approach for treatmnet?

        I appreciate all your help, today’s world is full of greed and exploitation, you take time out and make effort to help desperate parents/people free of charge at 87 years of age. I am in awe and admiration of your work and immensely grateful for all your advice.

        Thankyou

        • Joe says:

          You may touch the NP6x tablets as they are 6x. It is only the higher C or Centesimal potencies that should not be handled.

          I am relieved to learn that “Baby has cleft lip only, her palate is normal.”

          Glad to note that you appreciate my “Joepathy” (Google)

          • Sadia says:

            Dear Sir

            Thankyou for clarification, I am following before and after natphos treatment as per your instructions. I will update you as soon as I receive robinia.

            Can you please infrom me if you treat adults and older children? If you do please explain how to get in touch with you and If not can you please recommend anyone with same approach like you in treatment? (unlike classic homeopathy).

            I am very thankful for all your advice.

            • Joe says:

              You stated in your first post that you had read some posts on my treatment of baby GERD and had given Nat Phos 6x to your baby. You would have therefore observed that I do treat patients irrespective of age. I treated your baby immediately after your first post and wonder what the reason is for your question about treating you and your older child.
              All you have to do is to post your ailment and I shall try to help if I can.

              Your statement on classical homeopathy intrigues me and I would like to know the reason for your comment.

  76. Sadia says:

    Just wanted to add that she also she has side ( rare kind) cleft lip so because of that she swallows extra wind.

    I also wanted to ask how can I consult you for my own health?

    Thankyou

    Dear Sir

    I have just administered robinia as per your instruction. I will upsate you in 48 hours. I am also giving natphos also.

    Actually I want to co sult you not for GERD for myself anf my family. That is reason to ask you if you would treat me.

    I have been treating myself and baby since June and cladsical aplroach is very slkw. Initial consultation is charged 65 for babies 85 pounds for adults.

    Three times I was prescribed sepia( 200,200, 1M). Then Thuja 200. Only massive improvement I ever saw was after sepia 1M. After thuja i requested for homeopath for 1M dose but she was reluctant. Therefore it has been frustrating journey for me.

    For baby ante tart(12, 30) sullhur 30,30 and then chamomilla (30, 30), and lycopodium (30,30) chamomilla (30) and opium 30 were prescribd and given in above sequence. After all above her reflux is still same other issues such as excessive crying and mucus etc has improved though.

    This is the reason I am reluctant for any more classical homeopathic treatmnet as it is extremely slow, expensive and frustratingly time consuming.

    I prefer your modern approach/jeopathy and therefore requested if you could treat for other ailments as I am not sure.

    I am obliged for all your advice.

    Thankyou
    Sadia

    • Joe says:

      You may not be aware that I am almost 88 years in age and although I did study Homeopathy about 40+ years ago purely because it fascinated me, I am not a professional Homeopath. I am the CEO of a very old family owned business organization in Colombo and do still drive to work. I do not take any drugs except on a SOS basis but I do take a teaspoonful of Arnica 30 nightly and have done so for 22 years. I am convinced that I owe my long life to God and to Arnica.

      I have some spare time on my hands in office after my son joined me a decade ago and am devoting my time to helping suffering humanity with my Joepathy which I note you have read about and have now experienced at first hand for your baby to whom you have given the Robinia to reduce the flow of Hcl acid which I believe is the reason for her current distress.

      I am very surprised that your homeopath has been fleecing you since June at £85 per consultation when I treat patients throughout the world who consult me free of charge purely for the satisfaction I get by helping patients to recover their health ASAP. I must also add that the remedies and especially the potencies prescribed by her can be considered as dangerous for babies.

      Feel free to post your problem right here on my Website and I shall try to help if I can.

      I have treated literally hundreds of babies suffering from baby GERD successfully on my Website but I have not encountered one like yours who does not respond to my therapy.

      Her problem may be more deep seated than we can observe and you are advised to consult a doctor to diagnose if there is some other internal problem than we can observe.

      You can stop the Robinia 30 and replace it with Nux Vomica 30c to observe if it can help. You will continue the Nat Phos 6x and I would recommend that you get another stock as what you are using today may not be effective.

    Dear Sir

    I want to k from you that i have started nux vomica yesterday as per your advice and atopped robinia. She opened stools yestetdah dont know if due to vomica orcpconut oil. She has some straks in poop.

    She is getting treagment from alot of dpctors/ surgeons. They want me to start formulae/ high energy formula and solids for her aswell as yesterday the surgeon adviced to change her prescription to omperazole. I am vwry reluctant as I was hopinv gwr reflux will settle and tgere will be no need of renetidine.

    She is passing gas now wothout the foul smell but the issue is she has lost .65 grams over last 2 days on Thursday she weighed 5.94 and yesterday she weighed 5.35 which has not happened previously since she is on renetidine.

    As much as nat phos helps im thinking could it be the reson for her weightloss? Please advice on this matter as I am extremely concerned. She is dropping down from 0.4th centile into failure to thrive category.

    Hello Joe my name is Diana my daughter has silent reflux since day 1 she is now 3 months.
    she was on zantac then prevacid and now nexium.
    Her main problem is congestion at night after she eats.
    I gave my daughter Nat phos 6x for a week like you suggested the congestion almost disappear but she started to eat less and looked like she was in pain when she was eating.
    then i gave her nux vomiva (wet dose) and nothing changed.
    I thought it was because i stopped the nexium.
    I started the nexium again and stopped your treatment after that the congestion came back and my baby was miserable again so i decided to try again with NF and again the congestion disappear.
    she is perfect during the day but at night she looks nervous and her hands are cold and sweaty.My question is if i can continue giving her NF for an extended period of time.
    how long can she take NF6x?
    thanks.

    I have no record of having prescribed for your baby and it is a pity that you have given her the dangerous PPI drugs you were prescribed by a careless pediatrician who was looking for instant results which only served to make a bad situation infinitely worse. These drugs were ruled as being dangerous for adults by the FDA and I shudder to think of their effect on an innocent baby.

    You seem to be experimenting with the therapy I have prescribed for other babies and must know that these remedies have been formulated after many years of research for each case and mixing them up haphazardly is dangerous for your precious baby.

    What is NF?

    I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed for hundreds of babies and 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.

    You will give baby half a tablet dissolved in milk a few minutes before every feed and the balance half immediately after a feed but you will not exceed a total of 6 tablets (12 halves) 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 every 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.

    Babies do not always do a poo daily. Some babies can go up to 5 days to do so. A gentle massage of her abdomen after every feed in a clockwise direction usually stimulates evacuation.

    It is best not to vaccinate Baby till s/he is over 2 years old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
    Do not give the MMR Vaccine in One shot as there is plenty of evidence on the Web of severe side effects which can result. You are advised to give it in 3 separate shots if you must do so, after baby is 2 years old.

    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.

    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.

    You will stop all other drugs you may be giving baby if you start on my therapy.

    I also noticed that you have addressed me by my given name, Joe.

    I fail to understand how you, a complete stranger can address a senior physician by name especially since you are consulting me for some ailment you suffer from.

    I have to inform you that I do not permit being addressed by name on my website, as the least I can expect from you is that you show some respect in doing so.

    Here in Sri Lanka where I live, we have a modicum of respect for age.

    Hi Joe my daughter has silent reflux, she is 6 weeks old and so uncomfortable, hardly sleeps and drinking little bits constantly. I’m sure you aware of all the symptoms haha what I’m confused about is what milk do you put the dissolved tablet in please, as I read it can’t go in the bottle? Can I put it in water? If so how much please? Could I syringe it in? How much of it? She doesn’t sit for a feed so much as she’s so uncomfortable she needs winding after about 1oz then back on. Any help appreciated I am desperate to help her and us!

    Dear Mr. de Livera,
    My 3 week old son has been exhibiting signs of silent reflux for about 1.5 weeks. It is preventing us both from sleeping and, most importantly, he appears to be in such pain and discomfort.

    This was not an issue that we encountered with our older daughter, so we are in new territory, so to speak. I am not comfortable medicating my son, and frankly neither is his pediatrician. I stumbled across Nat Phos 6x as a potential treatment online, and ordered Hyland’s brand which arrived this morning (we live in Pennsylvania, USA).

    In my search for how to best administer NP6x for our purpose I quickly was directed to your name and website. I gave his first dose this morning as I see you direct (1/2 tablet prior to and then again immediately after feeding). I took 2 tablets after my first meal of the day and have ordered arnica to include in my regimen. Thank you, thank you for making this information freely available to anyone who goes in search of it.

    I greatly respect and admire you for taking the time to invest in strangers looking for relief. I hope you will not mind if I provide an update this week on my son’s progress. Thank you so very much for providing hope for us in this difficult time.

    Dear Mr. De Livera,
    I appreciate your response and apologize for my delayed update. We had such wonderful success using your Joepathy! (I read above how this term was coined – but you have turned it into something truly incredible.)

    We followed your protocol for my infant son’s use as well as my use, and I saw improvement after his second dose. I weaned him off after one week as I felt confident in doing so at that time. We have never looked back, as he’s gaining weight amazingly well. I no longer have to adjust feedings, hold him upright for an hour after a feeding, or longer, or watch him struggle in discomfort. He is not awoken at night due to this issue – allowing us both to work on getting quality sleep. To think that this solution saved him the possibility of using medications with awful potential side effects increases my gratitude to you even more. Thank you!

    I make a point to direct anyone who inquires about this issue to your website to learn about your methodology, and will continue to do so. In fact, my mother in law is interested in trying the adult method!

    Thank you again, and best wishes to you!

    • Joe says:

      It is indeed rarely that a patient takes time to acknowledge a successful response to using my “Joepathy” and I thank you for having done so and as you stated, having read about the origin of this term, which you will note was what the classical homeopaths who had all ganged up on a few homeopathic forums coined, to derisively describe my therapy which seemed to work more positively than their own classical remedies which invariably did not work.

      I checked this term on Google right now and was agreeably surprised to discover 84000 hits, some of which directly referred to my posts.

      I am glad that you are contributing to spreading the good news that I have formulated over 40 years ago and I am happy at age 89 that I have contributed towards updating this precious science to enable anyone to reap the rich rewards of living a life free of any drugs, which in my case I do not take except on a SOS basis.

      All I take today is just one dose of Arnica 30c nightly which I have proved to filter the blood and enables me to live my life, free of any major impediments which are accepted as the price of the advancing years. I exercise daily for about half hour by walking briskly and drink around 3 ltrs water.

    Hello Mr. De Livera,

    I started using today the Nat Phos as per your usual instructions here above, however after the first dose my baby seemed in much worse pain than ever before. He has cried all evening today, which has never happened before. I gave him a 2nd dose but then stopped for the time being. It’s only been 12 hours since the start so if he settles I could continue with the other 4 tablets. I have also noticed he is very gassy today, and it started shortly after the first NP dose.

    Has this ever happened before in your experience? Symptoms getting worse immediately? He has silent reflux and is sometimes unsettled but never for 12hrs straight.

    Please let me know, thnak you very much.

      Please follow the instructions below>

      I shall copy my default therapy for Baby GERD which I have prescribed for hundreds of babies and 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.

      You will give baby half a tablet dissolved in milk a few minutes before every feed and the balance half immediately after a feed but you will not exceed a total of 6 tablets (12 halves) 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 every 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.

      Babies do not always do a poo daily. Some babies can go up to 5 days to do so. A gentle massage of her abdomen after every feed in a clockwise direction usually stimulates evacuation.

      It is best not to vaccinate Baby till s/he is over 2 years old as the after effects in some cases can add to the problems with GERD.
      Do not give the MMR Vaccine in One shot as there is plenty of evidence on the Web of severe side effects which can result. You are advised to give it in 3 separate shots if you must do so, after baby is 2 years old.

      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.

      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.

      You will stop all other drugs you may be giving baby if you start on my therapy.

        Hi. We did this treatment for 4 days now. It was going great, he was able to take longer between feeds – 4hrs instead of 1.5/2 – and slept on his back.
        But since last night he has been back ttp crying, waking up every 30mins-1hr and seems in pain. He is not gassy and passes stools really well…. he smells again of sour milk.

        I guess my question is: can it be something i ate? Should i include nux vomica at this point?

      I then shared my default therapy for Baby GERD and I presume that baby responded well shortly after but now wish to use Nux Vomica because you suspect that baby requires it. You must know that I do not prescribe it anymore as it is potentized Strychnine.

      It is up to you to decide if you wish to treat your baby yourself by copying the therapy you read about on my Website, or to abide by my therapy.

      I would also like to add that I am over 89 years in age and do not have time to waste on reading every post you make to report a ball by ball commentary on the progress of your baby.

    Hi Joe,

    I’m looking for some advice for my daughter please, she is really suffering with what I’m guessing is acid reflux at the minute (she is 6 weeks old). She arches her back and cries most of the day and certainly after feeds. She is often very sick, sometimes projectile and generally seems a very unhappy baby. She’s on gaviscon infant at the moment which in my opinion doesn’t seem to helping. I would like to try Nat Phos 6x if you think it would help her? I know she is only allowed 6 tables a day but I’m unsure when to give them to her as she is exclusively breastfed and feeds a lot more than 6 times a day. Is it half a table I give her or a full one? At the beginning or end of feed? Should I stop he gaviscon once I begin to use this? Should I be giving her nux vomica as well?
    Thank you for your help.

      I noticed that you have addressed me by my given name, Joe.

      I do not permit being addressed by name on my website, as the least I can expect from you is that you show some respect in doing so.

      Here in Sri Lanka where I live, we have a modicum of respect for age.
      I am over 89.

        Firstly I do apologise for referring to you by your name I was not aware of this but now I am I will no longer use it. Secondly thank you for your response and I am delighted to report back the dosage you recommended for my 7 week old has worked really well. I am giving her half a tablet before a feed and half a tablet after 6 times as a day. I have totally stopped the other medication she was on. I have been doing this for 4 days now. Would you recommend I reduce the dose now or continue with it for longer? How long would you recommend I continue giving Nat phos for? I can see from your previous posts that Nat phos is not harmful so that is reassuring. Thank you for your support it is very much appreciated.

        • Joe says:

          You need not keep giving baby the NP6x if you find that she can do without it.
          You can taper the dose at first and play it by ear.

    Hello,

    Thank for your your content. I have a 3 weeks old baby that seems to be suffering from reflux- when laid on his back we start hearing gurgling sounds which then result in something coming up his throat but he never spits up. He swallows whatever came up and with it swallows a lot of air. It is very hard for him to sleep and he always needs to be upright. I gave him half a tablet of the nat phos after two feedings so far and he has gotten hiccups both times, is that normal? What is the dosage for a 3 weeks old?

    • Joe says:

      It is most likely that you are overfeeding your baby.

      Suggest you reduce the quantity of milk you give baby and burp him for some time before you put him down.

      I note that you have copied the therapy I prescribe for other babies who are diagnosed with GERD and have been prescribed the dangerous PPI drugs by their pediatricion, even though they are aware that these PPI drugs are dangerous for adults and more so for innocent infants.

      Report baby’s progress for a few days more and we can then consider if he should be medicated.
