See book keywords and concepts |  The primary indicator of colic is excessive crying; the infant is typically inconsolable during bouts of colic. colic is thought to be caused by spasms in the intestines of an infant, and may be triggered by a milk/dairy allergy or intolerance, but the research is not conclusive.
Infantile colic is common, occurring in approximately one in ten babies, starting between the first and sixth week of life and usually continuing until the child is three or four months old. The baby usually cries, turns red in the face, may pass gas, clench his fists, and draw up his legs. |

Recently, a study published in volume 9 of the 2003 journal Alternative Therapy Health and Medicine tested the effect of fennel seed oil on infantile colic ("The effect of fennel seed oil emulsion on infantile colic: a randomized, placebo-controlled study"). Fennel eliminated colic in 65 percent of the infants, produced a significant improvement in the treatment group, and lowered the NNT (number needed to treat), all without a single side effect reported. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There is also colic and dehydration, as explained in the following two passages:
Colic is a buildup of trapped gas in the baby's colon. It is extremely treatable. It is also believed to be once again the result of milk allergy in a large percentage of babies. Milk is the most common culprit in colic by a wide margin. In studies all over the world, removing cows'milk consistently cures colic in approximately 70 percent of the test samples, returning in every single subject when the milk is returned to their diets. (Note: Removing cows'milk means not drinking any if you're nursing. |

I was hanging around after the seminar and one of the instructors asked me if I would help her change a flat tire. Having changed many tires in my lifetime, I agreed, and we proceeded to get the tools out of the trunk. |

See book keywords and concepts |  COLIC: About forty percent of infants who received fennel seed oil showed relief of colic symptoms, as compared to only fourteen percent in the placebo group.
CANCER: The phytonutrient anethole, which occurs naturally in fennel, has been shown to reduce the gene-altering and inflammationtriggering molecule called NF-kappa B. It also helps reduce tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a cancer-signaling molecule, thus enhancing cancer cell death.
STOMACH RELIEF: Anethole and other terpenoids have been known to inhibit spasms in the intestinal tract, acting as a gas-relieving and cramp-relieving agent. |

See book keywords and concepts |  KIDNEYS
At the Web site for the UCLA Kidney Stone Treatment Center,28 you will discover that kidney stones may cause the following symptoms:
Nausea, vomiting
Restlessness (trying to find comfortable position to ease the pain)
Dull pain (ill-defined, lumbar, abdominal, intermittent pain)
Urgency (urge to empty the bladder)
Frequency (frequent urination)
Bloody urine with pain (gross hematuria)
Fever (when complicated by infection)
Acute renal colic (severe colicky flank pain radiating to groin, scrotum, labia)
Acute renal colic deserves some explanation. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Fennel eliminated colic in 65 percent of the infants, produced a significant improvement in the treatment group, and lowered the NNT (number needed to treat), all without a single side effect reported. If it can do that for infant colic, one might be forgiven for thinking that it could have other benefits as well.
Well, if you thought that, you'd be right. Supplements containing different combinations of various natural herbs including fennel seed extract were tested in a recent study in Anticancer Research and found to suppress the growth of certain tumors. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Infantile colic is common, occurring in approximately one in ten babies, starting between the first and sixth week of life and usually continuing until the child is three or four months old. The baby usually cries, turns red in the face, may pass gas, clench his fists, and draw up his legs. If the baby runs a fever or becomes ill with bouts of colic, a doctor should be consulted. Overstimulation, rapid environmental changes, and parents' anxiety will often make the child even more irritable.
Recommendations include creating a calm, quiet environment during and following mealtimes. |

NATUROPATHY
Diet: Allergies, particularly an intolerance to milk proteins from a cow's-milk-based formula, may cause colic in some infants. Infants fcfc^^Jp wno are s0115'1^6 to rniIIc may be given a hypoallergenic formula containing extensively hydrolyzed proteins. If this does not work try a soy-based formula, or even goat's milk. If your child appears allergic to this as well, consult a pediatrician. If a baby is breastfed, certain foods in the mother's diet, such as cows' milk, may provoke an allergic reaction in the baby. |
David W. Grotto, RD, LDN
See book keywords and concepts | | One popular remedy for colic consists of beating four to five egg whites and putting them on a piece of leather, sprinkling the mixture with pepper and ginger, and then placing the mixture over the child's belly button. The age-old remedy of mixing one egg, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, a dash of vinegar, a dash of Tabasco sauce, and a little salt and pepper reportedly has helped many in getting over a hangover. Be aware that from a food-safety standpoint, eating raw eggs is not a good idea!

The normal practice is that the infant is given concentrated milk and bundled to sleep. While asleep, much water, in comparison to the weight of the infant, is lost from the lungs during the exhalation phase of the breathing process. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Some psychological stresses may influence colic, but it may also be affected by the mother's diet. Cow's milk consumed by the mother may be a factor; excessive sugar or salt intake may also worsen colic. Often a decrease in the mother's milk product consumption will reduce the colic symptoms. Some extra B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and potassium taken by the mother may help reduce colic in the baby as well as reduce mother's intestinal gas. Also, mother must constantly remember to eat well so that she does not become depleted during nursing. |
Tori Hudson, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Even though wild yam has acquired a considerable reputation as a "female herb," perhaps its most traditional uses are as a digestive aid in treating nausea, as an antispasmodic for intestinal and gallbladder colic, and as a liver herb. This herb is best used in capsule or tincture form. To help prevent miscarriage, higher doses of the tincture can be used (}A to Vl teaspoon every three to four hours). |
Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN
See book keywords and concepts | | DOCTOR'S NOTE:
Cow's milk has been linked to numerous negative health conditions such as allergies, anemia, arthritis, asthma, colic, diabetes, heart disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, osteoporosis, stomach ulcers, sinusitis, and a host of infectious and autoimmune diseases. However, current research on organic (unprocessed) raw cow and goat's milk shows are a safer, healthier option.
Yet another toxin lurking in the meat supply is nitrate, which is used to process and cure meats such as bacon, pepperoni, and hot dogs. |

See book keywords and concepts |  As mentioned before, such babies usually develop colic, become bloated and chubby, discharge mucus, catch colds frequently, are restless, and cry a lot. The best advise is to breastfeed as long as is possible, avoid dairy-based formulas altogether, use alternatives such as coconut milk (the closest to human milk) as well as some almond milk, hemp milk or rice milk; and give freshly mashed fruits, vegetables and rice when the baby is ready to eat solids.
Boiling fresh, non-pasteurized milk before consumption seems to have a beneficial effect. | | Many of them suffer from colic, gas, and bloating, which makes them cry and develop sleeping disorders. Other problems include tonsillitis, ear-infections, breathing difficulties, excessive mucus discharge and drooling from the mouth.

See book keywords and concepts | | Pepper is used in the treatment of arthritis, colic, diarrhea, flatulence, headache, indigestion, nausea, poor circulation, rheumatism, stomachache, and vertigo. In eastern Africa, pepper is sometimes used as an abortifacient, for which purpose it is consumed in excess quantities.
Topically, pepper can be prepared as a wash to deter ringworm and lice.
Edible Uses
Pepper has been considered a precious spice since ancient times. Attila the Hun is said to have demanded a ransom of three thousand pounds of pepper during his siege of Rome in the year 408. |
