I am looking for someone who specializes in Cranial Sacral Therapy for babies. I live in NW portland near Forest Heights/Cedar Mill area, but would be willing to go further if I had a great rec for someone. My 10 month old daughter has chronic ear infections and I'm hoping this might work. Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

B....I have the BEST GUY for you: David Berkshire. He works at the Kwan Yin Healing Arts Center at NW 23rd & Flanders. (http://www.kwanyinhealingarts.com/) I first took my daughter when she was 2 1/2 months old for acid reflux. He is so gentle and knowledgeable that I was impressed from the first few moments. To summarize, within a week and a half of completing 3 treatments her reflux was gone. I went back to him about 1 1/2 months ago for colic issues. She was screaming and inconsolable from 6:30-9:30 pm 4-5 nights a week. She now has less than 20 minutes of fussiness and sleeps consistently from 8:30 pm to 5:00 am! Please, please feel free to contact me and I can tell you more!

Great idea.

Check out Dr Elsie Hewett she is on 28th & E. Burnside.
Carol Gray is also great and she comes to your home!
I wish I had their phone numbers---I am on vaca this week.
As always I am sure Google will assist.

Take Care,

There is clinical evidence that regular Chiropractic care for children/infants reduces ear infections, among other things. My husband is a Chiropractor in N Portland and has adjusted our two boys since birth. Neither has ever had an ear infection. I suggest Chiropractic (and if you want a super gentle, fantastic one I recommend my husband!) :)

I'm not sure if you found anyone yet but I highly recommend Dr. Elise Hewitt at Portland Chiropractic Group ###-###-####) at 2031 E Burnside. She is amazing and so calming. Many insurance companies will cover her services if you get out of network benefits. I had feeding issues with my baby when she was born (had no latch, very weak suck) and because of Dr. Hewitt my daughter was able to breast feed. I have also gone to her with an ear infection and it worked too!

B.,
I am sorry that I don't have a specialist to recommend, but I do have some natural remedies that you or someone reading this may like to know about...

Have you heard of Alkaline Ionized water?
This helps balance the body's Ph levels and detoxify the body by flushing out impurities, toxins and free radicals in the body and works as an anti-oxidant giving the body optimal health, thus relieving the body from arthritis, cancers, skin diseases, obesity, diabetes and many other health problems including ear infections. My Natropath Dr and Chiropractor Dr Krein told me about this and I find it amazing. Here is a link to his website: www.KangenWaterStore.info and www.KangenWaterStore.com

I also heard from another mamasource lady about baby and adult necklaces made of of natural Hazelwood that absorbs excess acidic levels in the body. They also have creams for skin problems. Mom's have found their colic child stop crying or their heartburn or skin problems disappear once they started wearing these necklaces. Pretty cool info I just heard about yesterday. Here is her website info: www.hazelaid.com

I have also used a nasal spray called XLEAR which contained all natural non-addictive ingredients which consists of a saline solution and Xylitol a natural sugar that has amazing properties with protecting the cells and flushing out impurities in the nasal cavity which is linked directly to the ear canal. Mom's found this product helped their baby's ear infections, and sinus infections and some asthmatics found relief. Xylitol has been used recently in Trident gum and other gums known to prevent cavities and it also strengthens and protects your teeth. Their site is www.xlear.com

I just had to share some info I have found insightful. Hope this helps and hope you find the right Dr for your baby. Good luck. J.

Carol Gray is our savior. We heard about her before our baby was born from 3 different - unrelated - people. She came to our house to treat our little guy when he was 3 days old, and has been back 2 other times. Her number is ###-###-####. Her house call is 90 dollars or you can go to her office for 80 dollars. She is spectacular.

What I would recommend also is to address her cells and immune system. Would you are interested in learn about this? Strong immune system builds a healthy body. My 3 kids have benefited from newborns until now.

Hope to help - W.

I saw Beth Isley for my son's acid reflux. I would recommend her, we saw results after the first treatment. I don't have her number on me since I am out of town, but she is located at the Mississippi Health Center. Also, Carol Gray is a name that is out there, she does house calls. Good Luck!
