"Insomnia, restless sleep, feelings of distress while trying to sleep, or chronic bedwetting. • Excess salivation, spitting during speech, or drooling. • Negative behavioral symptoms associated with autism and ADHD, including hyperactivity, disassociative behavior, stim-ming, or tantrums. This is obviously a wide range of signs and symptoms, almost all of which can be caused by factors other than food reactions. However, food reactions are generally the most common single cause of practically all of these signs and symptoms. Food reactions are a common denominator of the 4-A disorders." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"High levels of sugar in the blood and urine, frequent urination, and/or bedwetting may be seen readily in children. Other symptoms include extreme hunger, extreme thirst, weight loss, weakness, tiredness, irritability, mood swings, and nausea. Type-1 has also been associated with a variety of viral infections. This is in contrast to Type-2 diabetes, which is slow to develop with many of the same symptoms, but with hard-to-heal infections, blurred vision, itchy skin, Candida, and the mind not working so clearly." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The number of disorders that are commonly linked to foods is extensive and includes: ADHD Insomnia Celiac Disease Depression Crohn's Disease Allergies Colitis Eczema Constipation Asthma Diarrhea Obesity Rheumatoid Arthritis Lupus Heartburn GERD Chronic Catarrh Glue Ear Stomach Aches Acne Epilepsy Headaches Psoriasis Flatulence Ear Infections Chronic Fatigue Recurring Tonsillitis Hives bedwetting Migraines Psoriatic Arthritis Belching Food reactions can occur up to 72 hours after the food has been ingested." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"The deep imprints, despite later love, can still effect bedwetting, nightmares, high blood pressure, and premature ejaculation. Often what Freud thought was hysteria was simply first-liners who lacked structure and who seemed to be all over the place. Those early imprints often run our lives—make us impulsive and unable to concentrate, cause us to suffer from deep mid-line symptoms (such as intestinal and breathing problems), and they set the stage for later migraines. There is a common myth that emotional pain is different from physical pain." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.) "Another example of an essence versus appearance: We can take a tranquilizer to sleep better, avoid sleep problems, hold down acting-out, stop feeling anxious, be less aggressive and less depressed, stop bedwetting and premature ejaculation, and stop using alcohol and taking drugs. One specific pain pill can accomplish this universal task. Why? Because the essence, pain, is behind all of those disparate symptoms. Pain will always remain pain no matter what label we pin on it or how we choose to deny it." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"For overnight bedwetting, particularly in children, Tofranil® and desmopressin are most commonly used. TIP: DO KEGEL EXERCISES For incontinence caused during physical stress, such as sneezing, running, or jumping, do Kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which surround the bladder and the urethra to help keep urine in. To identify these muscles, try to stop urine midflow while sitting on the toilet. Squeeze these muscles several dozens of times throughout the day." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"Isn't it strange that we use the same tranquilizer to ameliorate depression and children's bedwetting? Maybe it is all one disease with different manifestations, and when we attack the generating source with drugs, all of the manifestations disappear for a short time. We need to learn a most obvious lesson from Prozac: it blocks all manner of symptoms. Therefore, if we, too, in a feeling therapy attack orchestrating forces, we can render unnecessary and eradicate all those different symptoms. Notice also that it is a nonverbal medication that slows down ideational obsessions." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"Behavior modification techniques have been used effectively for treating almost every behavior problem you can imagine: temper tantrums, eating problems, autism, bedwetting, academic problems, social problems, delinquency, smoking, drug addiction and on and on it goes.62 Why does it work? Because it motivates us to change. We avoid punishment or enjoy reward. But wouldn't it be better if we could control our behavior without the external control imposed by stomach bypass surgery or behavior modification techniques?" - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Bedwetting • When bedwetting occurs during nightmares or dreams; when the child feels better after a nap and feels worse when lying on the right side or when touched—give equisetum, 6c at bedtime for up to 14 nights. • When bedwetting occurs soon after the child falls asleep and is caused by emotional stress or coughing; when the child feels better in damp, warm weather and worse in cold, dry weather—give causticum, 6c at bedtime for up to 14 nights." - Deborah R. Mitchell, The Home Healing Almanac: Solutions That Will Help You Make the Best Choices About Your Health and Safety (Get the book.)

"As the numbers suggest, most children grow out of the bedwetting problem on their own. They can also use helpful techniques, such as abstaining from liquids for a couple of hours before going to bed, using bedwetting alarms, keeping a log of wet and dry nights, and so on. If these approaches don't work, imipramine may be prescribed. Imipramine is an antidepressant that also relaxes the bladder, while tightening up the sphincter, the bladder's "exit door." - Frederic Vagnini, M.D. and Barry Fox, Ph.D., The Side Effects Bible: The Dietary Solution to Unwanted Side Effects of Common Medications (Get the book.)

"Other reasons for sleep disturbance include emotional difficulties and anxiety, which can cause nightmares, insomnia or bedwetting. As we'll see in succeeding chapters, many contemporary children have powerful reasons to be emotionally disturbed, and emotional problems are among the most difficult to solve. But one of the main ways parents can develop emotional resilience in their children is to provide stability and security. And one of the best ways of doing that is to buttress family life with calm regularity and reliable routine." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"Then, under "severe" side effects (my interpretation: rather scary) we find: "Impairment of consciousness, cardiac abnormalities (20%-30%), permanently increased kidney output, bedwetting, irreversible kidney scarring, other kidney damage, liver disorders, rise in blood sugar, increased white blood cell count, blood disorders, coma, death" {Natural Healing for Schizophrenia, Edelman, 1996/1998, p. 155).

"John's wort act on the nervous system to control bedwetting. Try 2 to 30 drops of gentian tincture in water at midday or evening. Or try sweet sumac, a North American plant that most herbalists use specifically for bedwetting: 5 to 10 drops in water 2 times a day. Hyperforat (Klien), Suburgen (Vogel & Weber), and Nierenklar (Salus) are effective German products that can be ordered through your pharmacy or health food store. Kegel Exercises: The most important thing you can do to fight incontinence is to learn Kegel exercises, which strengthen the bladder and bowel muscles." - Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D., The complete Book of Water Healing - Using the Earth's most essential resource to cure illness, promote health, and soothe and restore body, mind, and spirit (Get the book.) "Jethro Kloss, an eminent nineteenth-century naturopath, felt a clogged colon could be a cause of some bedwetting problems. Therefore, if a child tends to be constipated, utilize a gentle bulb syringe enema to rid the colon of putrefied matter. If an enema is out of the question, try a gentle herbal laxative such as a quarter to a half tablet of Inner Clean. (Adults can take one tablet.) Dr. Rudolf Fritz Weiss, the German physician and botanical researcher, tells us that St. John's wort {Hypericumperforatum) "acts via the nervous system in the treatment of bedwetting. St." - Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D., The complete Book of Water Healing - Using the Earth's most essential resource to cure illness, promote health, and soothe and restore body, mind, and spirit (Get the book.)

"CHTAO-MAI English Name: Buckwheat Botanical Name: Fagopyrum esculentum Buckwheat honey is among the various Chinese remedies used for bedwetting. From one teaspoonful to a tablespoonful of buckwheat honey, taken at bedtime, has proved effective in many cases. Consider the following examples: • "My seven-year-old son was a bedwetter until he was given a tablespoonful of buckwheat honey at bedtime."—Mrs. F.H. • "A teaspoonful of buckwheat honey, taken at bedtime, cured our neighbor's four-year-old daughter of bedwetting." - Richard Lucas, Secrets of the Chinese Herbalists (Get the book.)

"Useful to prevent bedwetting. CUBEB BERRIES (Berries) Botanical Name: Piper cubeba. Common Names: Java pepper, cubebs, tailed cubebs, tailed pepper. Medicinal Properties: Aromatic, purgative, stimulant, diuretic, anti-syphilitic, carminative, stomachic. Is excellent in chronic bladder troubles, scalding urine, water passage, leucorrhea, gonorrhea, gleet, bronchial troubles, cough, wind colic, gives tone to the stomach and bowels. Heretofore has been used largely for seasoning soups. Increases flow of urine. DANDELION (Leaves and root) Botanical Name: Taraxicum dens-leonis." - Jethro Kloss, Back To Eden (Get the book.)

"Another bedwetting treatment is aloe vera juice. Researchers in Russia found that almost all the children in their study not only stopped wetting their beds when they were given aloe, but also became noticeably less irritable. The few who continued to wet the bed did so much less frequently. Mix aloe juice with an equal amount of the child's favorite fruit juice. But don't overdo it—1 suggest one-half to one cup a day. Bedwetting is occasionally caused by a bladder infection. If this is the cause, your child will probably complain of discomfort and burning while urinating." - Kathi Keville, Herbs for Health and Healing (Get the book.) "Fortunately, bedwetting can often be remedied with an herbal tincture. Studies have shown that Saint-John's-wort and oats help the nervous system to control the bladder. Likewise, corn silk and plantain leaf (which is used in many Chinese herbal formulas to treat urinary problems) have been shown to improve the urinary tract muscles that control the bladder. Be patient; it may take several weeks before you see results, but this formula usually works! Do not give your child any liquids, including herb tea, for three hours before bedtime, since this can encourage bedwetting." - Kathi Keville, Herbs for Health and Healing (Get the book.) "Although bedwetting can be exacerbated by psychological problems or emotional stress, it generally involves poor muscle control or crossed signals in the communication between the nervous system and the brain. It tends to disappear as the child grows older, but for some parents, the wait can seem endless. In any case, most child psychologists agree that reprimanding a child who wets the bed does more harm than good. Fortunately, bedwetting can often be remedied with an herbal tincture. Studies have shown that Saint-John's-wort and oats help the nervous system to control the bladder." - Kathi Keville, Herbs for Health and Healing (Get the book.)
