D.R. Scharenberg D.C.'s Colic Treatment
Over the years, there has been a substantial amount of research into the condition of colic. There are studies to see if colic leaves any permanent damage to the child emotionally as they mature. There have been other studies to see if the cause of colic is related to an immature digestive tract. There are more studies that have been done to see if mothers with migraine headaches are more prone to having babies with colic. There have even been studies done to see if nervous system problems caused by spinal misalignment could cause the condition of colic. What my research has indicated is that there is still is no one who knows the cause of colic and that there has been no specific known treatment to cure colic. Research still states colic has no known cause and there is no known treatment to it. It is quite apparent that much more research is needed.
I have been researching the subject of colic for years and have also been treating colicky babies for over thirty-five years. What I have discovered is that the diagnosis of colic is very limited and that there is much more to colic than what is being presented. I have found that much of what was originally thought to be colic is now being diagnosed as acid reflux or silent reflux. Since medication is not recommended for colic and symptoms of colic, such as projectile vomiting, can be easily diagnosed as acid reflux, babies are now being prescribed acid reflux medication such as Zantac, Prilosec, Tegment, etc. to support acid reflux symptoms.
I am of the opinion that this medication does not usually stop the spitting-up or the projectile vomiting, however, doctors continue to diagnose colic as acid reflux. They say even though the medication does not stop the spit-up, it neutralizes the stomach acid and helps prevent burning and erosion of the esophageal tissue. Again, the baby still spits up, but people think they are doing the baby a favor by giving it some sort of treatment. Colic is a serious condition that causes extensive crying along with other symptoms, while causing severe emotional pain to all members of the immediate family. The inability to offer treatment or even an explanation to the parents must be devastating to the physicians as well.
What I truly want to do with this website is to show you, the readers, what I have found out in the last forty years about colic, what the new diagnosis is, what the true cause of colic is, and what the new and proven technique is, which I use every day to reduce colic pain and symptoms. My goal for the future is not only to reduce colic pain and symptoms in the babies that are suffering from colic, but to eventually prevent these symptoms from occurring.
I have witnessed many people claim that they have found a cure for colic. I have purchased many products and researched many claims by people who say they guarantee they can fix colic in 48 hours, or your money back! I have never found a single product or read a single claim that is true to its word. There will always be people trying to find ways to make money off of others' misfortune because it is obvious that desperate people will do anything to help their babies. I could go on and on about these claims but you can do your own research and find them all over the web.

"I have spent forty years developing this technique and documenting the results. After treating many babies and seeing how they suffer, I knew i needed to share this information with as many people as possible with the hope of helping babies around the world find relief from colic symptoms."
My Goal is to explain the technique that we have developed and hopefully give you enough meaningful information to make a real impact on your lives. We have developed tools that you can use, such as a parent support group on Facebook, on which you can communicate with parents who have had their babies successfully treated for colic. We also have links to many testimonials from parents of babies we have treated. If you have questions you can email me or call my office and I will return your call as quickly as I can.
I have spent forty years developing this technique and documenting the results. I have spent countless hours with these babies, studying and watching them, and I have found that they are all different, but overall react the same way to this treatment, differing only in severity and length of time needed for the treatment to correct the underlying issue. After treating many babies and seeing how they suffer, I knew I needed to share this information with as many people as possible with the hope of helping babies around the world find relief.
Parents are told that colic is a benign condition, which will resolve itself in three months. I now know this is not true. I have treated people of all ages and find that adults of all ages suffer with many forms of digestive problems. I have found that the difference between babies and adults is that adults can get up, move around, and change their diet and activity. They can choose to purchase a variety of drugs to treat their symptoms but they will still have digestive problems that can plague them for the rest of their lives. Do I believe that many of these adults with digestive problems had colic when they were a baby? Yes I do.
