I must tell you - Colic Calm is the greatest invention in the universe! It's better than the wheel. Within 30 minutes of receiving a dose or two of this gripe water, my son stops screaming and is actually a happy baby. I can't believe how wonderful this product is - it cures everything from gas to teething to hiccups. I am definitely amazed.

I am Jazmin's grandmother. This is the second bottle of Colic Calm I am ordering for her. It has helped her tremendously with the gripes and the gas. Thank you for a natural product. It seems to be the only one on the market that is truly natural. Thank you for making this product available.

I am so thankful for your Colic Calm. It's a Blessing in a Bottle. My twin granddaughters are new babies thanks to your product. They actually smile when they see the bottle coming their way since they love the taste and how much better it makes them feel. I have seen the results in my granddaughters but did not really know how well it worked until I myself had a tummy ache. I took a dose and within minutes I felt relief. My daughter (mother to the twins) also, tried Colic Calm, also with immediate results. Because of you, my granddaughters (4 mos today) are happy babies and a joy to be with. Thank you for sharing your Colic Calm with the world.

Thank you! Genevieve is doing so much better . We only give it to her at night which is all she really needs and the colic is gone completely.

Thank you very much for offering your ColicCalm gripe water. It has worked very well for our baby. He used to cry on and off most of the day and since we've been using the ColicCalm three times a day before his feedings he has been able to sleep much better and doesn't cry nearly as often. He is now 3 months old and we started using it when he was about 6 weeks old. It helps him burp and get rid of his gas. I am very grateful for ColicCalm!

My daughter was colicky. I seriously thought she was the devil her first three months of life! That is until I found this amazing product called Colic Calm. I showed it to my pediatrician and she said it was fine to give her.
They say the majority of colic has to do with an immature nervous system and once they start crying, they can't stop themselves. Colic Calm has everything natural to calm the nervous system (Chamomile, Fennel, Caraway, Aloe) & eveything natural to calm the little belly (Peppermint, Ginger, Lemon Balm, & Vegetable charcoal).
Once I started giving it to her, she calmed down right away. She would even smile when she saw the bottle as she knew it was going to make her feel better. It helped her sleep more than 20 minutes & the vegetable charcoal coated her little tummy to relieve the gas (it gives their poop black spots, so don't get nervous, it's ok! You'll get over the unexpected color quickly once you see the extraordinary results).
This stuff is a miracle worker! Plus whenever you order it you usually get it within 3 days, as they know how much time is of the essence. I got the little pacifier to pour the stuff in for the baby to just suck out (our little one loves the taste). I've ordered at least 6 bottles & I still keep one handy as it works really well after she gets her shots & she's cranky or when she has a tummy ache. Heck, I've tried it when I had an upset stomach & it did the trick! (too much info? )
Give it a try, they have a money back guarantee.. you can't lose!
Hope it works out for you!

Do you know how hard it is to find this type of product? Holy grail! Thank goodness for your company!!

Thank you so much - my daughter can now sleep at night without waking up with gas pains. It allows me and the rest of our family to get better nights' sleep and peace of mind so we're not frazzled either. I will be ordering my third bottle!!

Colic Calm was recommended to us by my wife's mother. Tyler, our little boy, is 10 weeks old and generally is happy and content. But occasionally he gets gas bubbles and is unable to get them out. Colic Calm seems to help during these fussing spouts.
Toby L.
Valley Center, KS
With my daughter I tried everything I could think of to relieve her colic and nothing worked. Waiting it out became our only option. So when my son was born and he had colic even worse than she I thought I was in for three long months of crying and sleepless nights. My mother feeling sorry for what I was going through for the second time, took on the mission of finding a solution. She just happened upon the Colic Calm website and bought it on the hope that it would do what it claimed, immediately relieve colic. It did! I could not be more grateful.

My husband and I can't believe how well Colic Calm works! Our first child was VERY colicky so when our second child began to show signs of colic at three weeks, we switched to Nutramigen and searched the internet for help. A message board at Baby Center suggested Colic Calm. I ordered it and we are happy I did! Colic Calm works and really helps Patrick settle down for a good night's sleep. Last night he slept eight hours and he's only seven weeks old (and 11 pounds).

Our baby did have some bad times before we found Colic Calm but we are happy to report that since we started using it he is much happier (and so are we). I have passed the word along to other new moms I know. So far they are happy with the results, too.

I also wanted to thank you for sending the colic calm so quickly. I received it in 2 days. I have spread the word about your product to anybody I can. I told them to forget the Mylicon or OTC gas relief liquid and order from you-so thanks again.
Kristie D.
Easton, PA
Am very happy & impressed with the company. When one of the bottles was damaged in shipping I sent an e-mail to their customer service. I had an answer in less than 2 hours. They shipped me another bottle as well as one of the medicine pacifiers at no charge to me. While the item is pricey compared to others of the same type, the extra money has been worth it as far as I am concerned.
Cheryle T.

We really appreciated the fast service. We felt like colic calm really helped better than any other medicine with my son's gas. I felt good about giving him something that was all natural and would be soothing to his system. I showed it to my pediatrician and he approved of it too. I definitely feel like it makes a huge difference. Thanks so much!
Melanie R.

We definitely love your product. Our baby has acid reflux and none of the medication the doctors prescribed seemed to have any effect. The only thing that makes him feel better after his feedings is colic calm. I believe the homeopathic vegetable charcoal ingredient has something to do with it (perhaps it neutralizes the acid in his stomach). We are also relieved knowing he is taking something natural and safe. Thanks so much!

All I can say is OH MY GOODNESS! This is the best thing ever invented! I could tell a difference in my baby in just one day...I even ordered some for my friend's baby because they are just beside themselves, they have no clue what to do with this poor baby...she is up all night! I told them watch their mail...relief is on it's way! Thanks so much for the fine product!~ I would buy it time and time again.

Colic Calm has truly helped our son. He is four months old and has used it since he was a month. He had terrible colic and gas in general. Within several minutes of administering the colic calm he is a completely different child. Colic calm is a wonderful product. I have recommended it to several of my friends. Thanks for developing such a great product.

I'm a first time mom and ColicCalm has been my best discovery. It is really helping my baby with his gassy episodes, and I've already recommended it to my new mom friends. I never leave home without it

This is the third time I ordered your product (5th bottle). We tried a different brand of "gripe water" purchased by a relative at a health food store. Our newborn had the colic that involves bad bouts of gas. Expelling it apparently is a very very painful process for her at this young age. I was beside myself with worry, and would cry right along with her. Anyway, that gripe water seemed to help very little and not every time. Plus, it had fructose, a sugar, and I didn't want to keep giving it to her every time symptoms appeared. That is when I searched the net and found your product and thought I would give it a try. Checked it out with the doctor who told me there was nothing that would harm her by taking it as indicated.
I breast-feed, and felt personally guilty that the breast milk was doing this to her. The doctor assured me this wasn't the case and to continue to breast-feed.
So, we tried your product, and it has to be the only thing that I found that helps her. It didn't cure the colic 100%, but I don't leave home without it. During her really bad days, I give her the max dosage (6x per day) and I truly see the difference. If and when she does cry, it is short-lived and the gas comes out quicker than on those days I don't use the product. She seems to eliminate stool more regularly with the product than without.
I am hoping and praying the colic subsides by the third month which is right around the corner. However, in the meantime, this product helps us on a daily basis. Thank you for this product.

Thank You very much for Colic Calm. My son Alonzo is now 2 months and his colic started 2 weeks after he was born. There were many long nights with very little sleep, it was exhausting, but now that I have purchased Colic Calm and my baby boy is a very happy baby. I get plenty of rest with no more long hours of fussiness. I will tell everyone that I know about colic calm and recommend they order it. Thank You!!!

My baby is doing really good and don't have his gas pains/issues in the middle of the night. Colic calm has worked wonders! :) Thanks for all your help!
Sandy A.

My daughter was a fussy girl after 3 weeks and Mylicon never helped. She was very uncomfortable and didn't sleep through the night. The first time I tried colic calm after checking with my doctor she was sleeping through the night because her tummy was finally not hurting. It has been wonderful! She is 3 months old and she has grown out of it a bit but still needs her nightly dose of colic calm. I was a definite skeptic, and my husband was afraid of the color, but we are now so grateful for choosing it over others!!!! Thanks again for keeping it safe for little ones. You're doing a great service for babies (and parents) everywhere.

Used the Colic Calm last night and WOW!!!! I used just 1/4 teaspoon on my 3 month old and he was quiet within a matter of minutes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

I have been using colic calm for probably about 4 months now for my 6 1/2 month old daughter. I so wished I had found it earlier, but I was very skeptical to go online and find something that would really help. But it came to a point where I was desperate and my poor daughter was in so much pain and not sleeping at all through the night. I was desperate for sleep also. I had tried everything, gripe water, peppermint oil/tea, gas relief drops, exercises, massage,
everything. Nothing worked for longer than an hour or so if that. So I went online and found your product. It did wonders. I of course checked it out with her Dr. first and she said the ingredients were fine. It really made a difference. Thank you.
Sara B.

My baby's doing great! He's 2 months old now and free of colic. He was very colicky at first - the first weeks of his life - but after we tried Colic Calm for a few days his colic disappeared - not to mention it works shortly after he takes it ! He'll still get a little fussy sometimes at night but after we give it to him he calms down. We use the medicine pacifier we bought with our order, which is great by the way. I use Colic Calm whenever he seems to be irritable, just in case ;) It can only do him good, so why not?
Thank you a lot for Colic Calm!!
Renata H.

Our baby Emma seems to be doing much better. Actually, only a few days after using the ColicCalm, she seemed to not show any more signs of colic. The only time she is really fussy now is if I eat spicy food that doesn't agree with her. Thank you for your help.

Update on my baby girl..... My daughter is now six months old and doing great. Colic Calm got us through those tough months, and now its occasional use helps her adjust to new foods. It's been a lifesaver.

Samantha is doing very well and the ColicCalm seems to have helped us a great deal. She's so happy and in great spirits---which makes mommy and daddy a lot happier too!

I gave ColicCalm to my baby the very first day it arrived and it seemed to soothe her in a short time. It worked better than other gripe waters I had tried and way better than Mylicon drops (which did NOTHING for her). By the time I learned about ColicCalm though, my daughter was starting to outgrow the colic a bit. I wish I had learned of it earlier
in her life.

Our baby has been amazing using the colic calm, we had ordered 3 bottles previously and it is like night and day she is sleeping now from 9:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. and she is only 8 weeks old.
So Thank you!

Blake is doing great, he will be one year old Wed the 18th. He is just very gassy, that colic calm helps sooo much. Thank you so much for inventing such a wonderful thing! I had my doubts at first, I am a firm believer now.
I appreciate you getting back to me, usually when you buy online you really don't know what your getting let alone ever hear from anyone, so thank you. And again thanks for the colic calm.
Lisa G.

My mother purchased colic calm for us a while back. Our baby is a 4 month old boy. He has not had severe colic, but does go through stages of gas and obvious discomfort. I have recently realized an unplanned pattern. We will give him colic calm for about a day or two and then he will have 2-4 days of seeming happiness before he seems to get uncomfortable again which reminds us we should have given him more doses. So it seems to be helping a lot.However, if you can figure out how to make him sleep all night, that would be greatly appreciated. :)

This product has been a godsend for my grand-daughter. My daughter took my 2 week old grand-daughter Karly to the doctor, she gave her a prescription for colic, which seemed to help some but the side effects of the drug is vomiting, which of course is just what happened to her. A day later we received this (Colic Calm) in the mail and used it that night, man, what a difference. I think Karly mainly just has problems with the gas, every time she eats you can just hear her little tummy rumble and it's very hard to even get a burp up. Now whenever we hear the rumbling, we give her some Coliccalm and it is keeping her pretty comfortable. And just like some of the other testimonials said "they couldn't believe that much gas could come from such a tiny thing" they weren't kidding! Thanks for such a wonderful product.

Our 3 month old is doing great. While we did go through some "colic" nights it only lasted for about a week. We believe the Colic Calm was very successful and we were glad to have located this solution when we did. Thank you very much.

My husband and I are pleased with the results that colic calm has offered. When ever he starts to fuss it sounds like an operating room in our house..."Honey, the colic calm in the numimed, STAT". Michael usually burps after his dose and falls asleep. I will be putting in another order shortly. Thanks

We have fortunately not had to use the Colic Calm much, as my son got better shortly after it arrived. However, when I did use it it worked wonders...it only took about 5-10 minutes for him to calm down and feel better after taking it! I will definitely be keeping it handy for when he teethes!! I thank you again for a wonderful product and look forward to many more bottles when he is teething :) Again, thank you...
Lindsay B.

It has helped out so much, I wish I would have had it for my son who is now two. He was a lot worse than my daughter is. She settles down soon thereafter and I can get back to some shuteye since it is so hard to find a nap time for myself during the day with both an infant and a toddler who is always keeping me very busy. Thanks!
Chantal B.

Thank you so much for making a safe, great product for babies. I called my doctor who had never heard of the product and said as long as it was homeopathic to go ahead. My baby is so much more comfortable, his colic from 12am to 5am has ended and I really know it's from the coliccalm. I recommend this to everyone now.

I wanted to let you know how your product was working. Ryan is so much better since we have been giving him Colic Calm. We changed his formula to Enfamil Nutramigen which helped but he was still having problems with gas. When he is upset I give him a dose and he is immediately happy. Ryan also gets hiccups a lot and as soon as I give Colic Calm to him they go away. Thank you so much for such a great product.... I recommended it on the ivillage message boards!
Rene T.

This is our second child with colic. With our first we didn't know anything about something for the relief. Her colic lasted 9 months. We weren't looking forward to another bout with colic. I heard about gripe water use for colic. I did a search on the web and found the site for Colic Calm. I read the testimonials and saw one that said the gripe water did nothing but the Colic Calm (with the homeopathics) did wonders. I was sold then. We did get some gripe water after I ordered it b/c the gripe water was sold at our hospital pharmacy and why wait if there is a cure :) . I have to agree that Colic Calm worked way better than plain gripe water. We used the Colic Calm right away when it arrived and the results were amazing! Our son passed so much gas--we couldn't believe that a little baby could have so much! He was a whole lot less distressed. We are so thankful to have gotten to know about your product. Thank you!!!
David and Jacqueline S.

I really am so glad I found Colic Calm. My baby daughter did not have full colic, just very bad gas that would cause her a couple of fits a day for a few minutes. Colic Calm did help her within a few minutes. I would recommend Colic Calm to any other parents suffering through colic with their infant. Thank you for such a great product!
Angela C.

The Colic Calm I purchased from you has worked wonderfully for my son. Conor is 2 months old and he has had trouble having bowel movements since he was born and has had terrible gas. The doctors have kept changing his formula. I tried Colic Calm and got immediate results. He now does not have gas and has bowel movements regularly. He is a different child always smiling and laughing, he almost never cries anymore. Thanks so much.

My 5 month old son had really bad gas and discomfort all the time. He was so fussy up until I did a search and Colic Calm came up. I decided to give it a shot and he has done a 180. He is so much more comfortable and is actually sleeping through the night! This product is the BEST!! It has helped my son so much!! Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the help. My son is 5 weeks old and he has bad gas after every feeding. I was looking on line and found colic calm. I bought it and I was scared to use it because it was black and looked scary to me. I finally gave in and gave it to him and boy was I happy I did. I baby is now sleeping and eating better. We give it to him every night before bed and it works all night. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART :)
Patty and Baby Jacob W.

It has helped us so much. Our baby was very fussy and gassy, and we tried all kinds of tricks, formulas, and anti-gas products with only minor or temporary improvements. Now that we use Colic Calm, we have a happy, quiet baby. This has relieved quite a bit of stress for us, first time parents. Thank you, ColicCalm.

Within five minutes of giving this to my 3 month old, her crying ceases. This is the only remedy I have found to ease her crying. I have been using this since she was 1 1/2 months old. I have been spreading the word of this miracle. Thanks!

Great product! REALLY WORKS ON STUCK GAS, BURPS, AND HICCUPS!
Make's a great baby shower gift. Order it before you need it so you will have it for immediate use. EXPECTING MOMS, have COLIC CALM ready when you return from the hospital as it helps baby with tummy pain and nausea from that hectic 1st car ride home.

ColicCalm was a godsend to my great-grandson, who is 3 mos. old. After changing his formula three times, my granddaughter took him to the pediatrician, who prescribed a prescription for his stomach ache. When I investigated the medication, I found several other uses for this drug, including Parkinsons disease. Needless to say, the side effects could possibly outweigh the usefulness of this product. So I searched the Internet and came upon ColicCalm. After reading the testimonials, I ordered ColicCalm. The shipment arrived when expected and she started immediately giving it to Skyler. He got immediate relief for his tummy aches and gas, and now she won't be without it. My granddaughter even took a listing of the ingredients to his next doctor's visit and showed it to him, and he said anytime you can give a baby natural ingredients it is always better than giving them chemicals. These were basically my same words, yet they were coming from his pediatrician. I even gave a bottle to my sister-in-law for her great-granddaughter until she could order some.
Thanks ColicCalm.

I just received my shipment of colic calm for my great grandson. He's almost 3 months old and colic calm is a life saver. He has had a rough start in life to begin with. He had some health problems at birth but is doing ok in that area right now. He had colic very bad and my granddaughter was at her wits' end and didn't know what to try. Her doctor was of no help at all. He just told her to live with it and eventually it would go away. Easy for him to say. He wasn't the one up all night with him. I would just like to say a big THANK YOU. This product is worth its weight in gold, and then some. Thanks again!!!!!
Patricia T

I can only say THANK GOD and whoever else was listening for Colic Calm. Our son had gas due to his growth spurts when he was 2 and 7 weeks old... (We didn't know it was due to growth at that time, I was actually told to stop breastfeeding by my former pediatrician...because he thought that the gas was due to my milk, etc). I knew in my heart that that was not the reason so I went online to see if there is anything that would help on a natural basis. That's when I came across Colic Calm and I ordered it on the spot. What a blessing. He took it and within a few minutes he relaxed and just the expression on his face was worth everything. Our son actually slept and was comfortable again. I bought another bottle for a friend's baby shower..3 weeks after delivery she called me to thank me for Colic Calm as her son had bad gas as well.
I am getting ready to leave for overseas with my son in a few days and just ordered another bottle to take with me ... just in case... as we started solids a few days ago.
Thank you very, very much for your wonderful product.

I was surfing the net trying to find something for our new colicky grandson, and I ran across this ad for coliccalm...
Wow!! This stuff turned out to be a miracle, just ask my daughter. As soon as she gives it to him he stops fussing and every time I call her she says how wonderful this stuff is. Thank you coliccalm for letting my daughter get some well needed rest. The ordering was a snap and it was here in three days.

Colic calm is a mother's best friend. My son was preemie and had a hard time with formula at first. He also has the hiccups frequently. Colic Calm helped relieve his tummy aches, and hiccups within minutes. And it's great that the product is all natural, makes me feel better about giving it to my baby.
Thank You for a wonderful product.

Once our baby started on Colic Calm, she was able to pass her gas more easily and settle her stomach from all the painful gas. Now that she is 3 1/2 months old she is starting to not have as much gas and we typically only have to give her Colic Calm at night time. She is now sleeping 8-9 hours stretches at night. I wish I would have known about this when my son was born!!! Thank you for such a wonderful product.

I was very happy with this product and I received it very quickly. It does seem to help a lot when one of my babies ( I have 3 month old twins) is fussy because of gas or stomach trouble.
Cynthia S.

I purchased this for my granddaughter when she was only a few weeks of age. We had tried other remedies, then I went on the internet to see what other information I could find when I came upon your product. It helped a lot. A couple of days ago my daughter asked me to order more because it seemed to be the item that helped her more than anything else. Because of this, I would recommend this product to anyone I know that may be having these same type of problems.

My 3 month old foster daughter is doing much better. We took her into our home when she was 6 weeks old and she cried almost constantly. She was unable to sleep more than 15-20 minutes at a time due to her severe colic and abdominal discomfort. She was miserable, to say the least. I found the ColicCalm webpage on my own after doing a desperate search hoping to find some relief for this precious little baby. When the package arrived, we were elated and tried it immediately. I am not exaggerating one bit when I say that I noticed a difference in my daughter's demeanor almost instantly. After about three days, her disposition was vastly improved. She was sleeping better and for longer periods and no longer spent most of her day crying out in distress. Her eyes lost their distant, pained gaze and looked brighter and clearer. We have been giving ColicCalm to our daughter just once a day now and it continues to help keep her colic at bay, and also helps relieve gas discomfort. Our baby has improved considerably, she's filling out and putting on weight and has begun to thrive. ColicCalm has made a difference in her life, and in our lives, and I have been busy telling everyone I know about it!
Sincerely Yours,

I received my Colic Calm today, and not a minute too soon. In just two doses, I could tell a significant difference in my son. The gas and "tummy troubles" he has been experiencing every night were almost eliminated tonight. Already, I'm thrilled with the product.
Thanks again!

We love it! We love it! We love it! My husband and I were at our wits' end trying to handle our gassy and colicky triplets. Without ColicCalm we would be getting no sleep whatsoever and we certainly wouldn't be so happy. We can not thank you enough.

I am absolutely amazed! I had been crying for weeks myself because my new baby girl would scream in pain all day long. It broke my heart. The pediatrician didn't help at all, so I did some searching on the internet and I couldn't wait to try the product. My baby is the happiest little girl. Within minutes of sucking ColicCalm down she is a different baby. You don't know how thankful I am for your discovery.
Thank you from Me, My husband and happy baby Brooke.

My son has reflux. Your colic calm is a lifesaver. It helps him to dry burp instead of wet burp. He can pass gas without pain. It calms him right down during one of his crying fits. I recommended it to a friend whose son also has reflux, and she is recommending it to one of her friends whose son has reflux too. Thank you so much for this awesome product! Please recommend it for parents of children with reflux as well. Reflux is even worse than colic because they are fussy all day. Colic Calm has been a true miracle and I want to help as many people with babies with reflux as I can. I posted your link on a message board for babies with reflux so other babies with reflux can benefit from this wonderful remedy!

I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! It took us awhile to really believe in this product. You see it took about 3-4 days of using it (2-3 times in a row 30 minutes apart) After that though we only needed 1 dose to do the job. I'm still giving this to my daughter who is now 1 year old and has 6 teeth and more on the way. The transition from breast milk to formula wasn't too hard, but going from formula to whole milk is another story. This has been a big help in alleviating the gas.

We are now on our second bottle of Colic Calm. My cousin had purchased a colic medicine from a midwife that is homemade with some of the same ingredients as the colic calm. I was very leary at first, but my cousin said it actually helped, and her son was very very colic. We purchased gripe water at Nature's Pharm while we were waiting for colic calm in the mail, it did NOT do anything. We have not had a screaming session since we have used colic calm. Our pediatrician is also amazed.

We have already received our first order of ColicCalm and it is amazing how well it works!! My daughter is a much happier baby because of your product! We will definitely be ordering more.

We are very pleased with the effects of Colic Calm and gather our 6 week old daughter is too, as she seems to relax and quiet down almost immediately after each dose. She also seems to really like the taste of the Colic Calm which we are equally happy about. There have been a few times that the Colic Calm has seemed to have no effect on her. As you can see with our recent order though, the majority rules! We will continue to purchase your product.

Tess is now 8 months old and Colic Calm has been a LIFESAVER! She was born 6 weeks early and suffered from colic every night from 8pm to 11pm. We didn't want to give her any "medicine" but were going crazy trying to make her comfortable and happy. I read about Colic Calm while researching colic on the internet. Ever since Tess started taking Colic Calm each night before bath, our family has been much happier! Now she giggles as soon as we bring the bottle of Colic Calm out. It's hilarious, because she is just like the baby on the bottle... fussy, add Colic Calm, then happy. Thanks for this awesome product!

I have to say, ColicCalm is really the only thing we've used that has helped our son's gas. He was extremely intolerant to many foods, including dairy, but it always helped him quickly. Now, he's 8 months but we still use it anytime we notice his tummy is a little gassy and it works immediately. I really appreciate this product. Thank you!

I wanted to thank you guys so much for making such a huge difference in our lives. It worked exceptionally well on my son. He was crying morning, noon and night and now he doesn't cry at all after I give him ColicCalm. Thank you sooo much!

Colic calm has been a life saver to me. I am a single mom and when my daughter got colic, I could no longer function for my family and my job. Colic calm has made all the difference in the world. It was well worth the money, but as a single mom it is hard for me to come up with. Thanks again for your product.

I want to thank you for discovering this amazing product. I was desperate for help with my son's colic. The beginning of your story is very similar to mine...only I didn't have to suffer as long or work as hard before finding help...thanks to Colic Calm. I have discovered what a sweetheart my baby really is. I will be sure to pass on the good news on to others.
Lisa S.

My 3-month old son is doing SO MUCH better than he was just a month ago. The colic has disappeared, thank goodness! We found that ColicCalm worked well. It definitely took care of his hiccups, which seemed pretty painful at times. It also worked wonders most of the time we used it for his gas. A few times he continued to cry after taking it, but most often he stopped crying within minutes and fell asleep.

Thank you Colic Calm! We are actually getting some sleep around our house and everyone I know is wondering why I'm not so frazzled anymore. Bless you.

I don't quite know how I was lucky enough to stumble upon Colic Calm, but I am definitely thanking my lucky stars. I tried those gas drops from the pharmacy and some gripe water from the health food store - total waste of money. A friend from a Moms Group I'm in told me about Colic Calm gripe water. I was really hoping I wouldn't strike out again because I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. My baby and I scored a homerun! Thank you so much.
Birgitta F.

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the charcoal part, but ColicCalm gripe water did seem to be the only product with something different and medically proven to work. Best of all, my baby likes the taste and calms down when she just sees the bottle. I am so happy I gave it a chance. My baby is even happier!
Beth D.

I have been taking care of babies since 1960 and I can honestly say that I have never seen anything work for colic apart from patting on the back, shhhhhing and pacing the floor. It gets physically exhausting. A new mother I work for purchased your product and I gave it a try. I don't get easily overexcited, but I can promise you that I give rave reviews about Colic Calm gripe water and will continue to do so for others I meet with colicky babies. Great to have this in my arsenal. Thanks!!!
David T.
Carson, CA
Our daughter was going through an awful lot of pain along with our colicky first grandson. Because we live on opposite coasts, we didn't know what we could do to help apart from moving in and sharing the burden and pain. I heard about Colic Calm gripe water and I ordered some for my daughter. She jokes all the time about how indebted she is to me and how she owes me her firstborn! I told her to keep him safe and sound and that Grams and Gramps will be out for plenty of visits, now that we will be able to actually sleep at their home, that is.
Gail C.

We have been using as you suggested, that is when Lauren's episodes occur which seem to be in the late afternoons and evenings. She is doing much better overall and seems to be improving daily. She still has some gas pain from about 9:00pm to midnight, which is nothing compared to the all night crying of the past. Thank you so very much and I would definitely recommend your product to any mother experiencing a colicky baby.
Tammie S.

Hayley is now 3 months old and doing very well....seems to be beginning to finally "outgrow" some of her colicky symptoms, We are still using Colic Calm but she does not require as many doses per day as she had, your product has been a life and nerve saver!! I am a nurse and had tried many other things, prescription Levsin drops which are full of side effects, and did not help at all, health food type "gripe water" which did nothing, I believe the charcoal in your product is what helps rid the baby of all the gas and other undesirable gastrointestinal problems, I have recommended your product to my children's pediatrician who is in turn suggesting it to other frazzled moms. Your service and product have been outstanding and thank-you for your interest in our child's progress, I only wish I had known of Colic calm with my now 16 mth old when she too suffered from it, she and we waited it out painstakingly, she is now a very happy toddler but what a beginning!! Thank-You for your wonderful product,your fast, attentive service and for caring to follow up!!

Fabulous product! Tried other gripe water and they don't compare. Colic calm helps my son expel gas in seconds and in a minute he just calms down! Thank you for providing this product! I am giving this and the lullaband for gifts at baby showers from now on!

My daughter wasn't colicky, she was fussy from gas. I bought the first bottle apprehensively, but figured with a money back guarantee where could I go wrong? I bought my next 2 bottles very shortly after she started taking it. There is now peace in our home! Thanks a million!
Jennifer F.

Thank you for this wonderful product - it has done miracles for my 2 month old son. He is actually able to sleep for longer than 30 minutes now, and it has also helped him have easier time with bowel movements. Colic Calm has significantly reduced his gas and pain, and I am very relieved as a parent. As a family physician, I plan to recommend your product, friendly and fast service and great attitude to my patients. Thank you!!

I am a young and first time mom. I tried everything for Madison's colic. I was so relieved to see the effect on her. She is so happy and peaceful. New motherhood is overwhelming enough to begin with. ColicCalm is making it so much easier!

I am the mother of 2 baby girls, a 15 month old and a 2 month old. I didn't know about Colic Calm for my first child when she had colic, just gripe water from a health food store which really didn't seem to do anything. I am a nurse and was a bit skeptical at first, but I must say with this baby whose colic is much more extreme it has really given her much comfort and relief...her bouts of crying are shortened and it really helps her relieve herself of large amounts of gas and helps her have regular bowel movements, from the time we brought her home from the hospital she had been very constipated, requiring a baby lax enema daily to help her go, since using Colic Calm she has a much easier time, I will definitely recommend your product to other moms and health care professionals...Many Thanks Mom & Nurse :)
Wendy W.
Lebanon, PA
We were shocked at how fast Colic Calm worked. With the first dose our son calmed down and you could tell he was comfortable instantly. We had our doctor check it out and she now recommends it to other parents. Thank you for this heaven sent product. Cade is such a happy baby. I wish I had ordered it sooner. Thanks.
Kelly R.
Dillon, CO
I ordered ColicCalm for my grandson and we have been absolutely amazed at how well this product works. It is worth its weight in gold...even more actually, since we got our very first smile from my grandson after giving it to him. All pediatricians need to know about your product. We are forever grateful, that is for sure.

I know, I know sounds insane I agree but the developments recently in the manga haven't been so routine so anythings possible at this point. During the Kabuto/Itachi/Sasuke fight Itachi got into Sasukes mind and heart making him reconsider his actions, even his very outlook on life. He said "what is a shinobi?" "what is a village?" Who better to anwser those questions then the 3 people responsible for everything?? Seeing as how SOTSP son's started Senju & Uchiha and EVERYTHING branched from there. The are essentially the leaders of every single village that's ever been erected, ancestrally. Maybe Oro found a way to revive them without DNA...maybe a variation of Edo Tensei that not even Kabuto, nor the 2nd Hokage, the creator of the jutsu knew about...of course this is probably completely off but hey that's what speculation is all about! :D
But there was no Hidden Leaf Village when he was alive. How would he know anything about it? And if this was the power in the scrool why would sasuke friend act like they could rule the world with it?

We should have seen this coming. Well, actually we did, but we chose to cover our eyes and blissfully whistle along to our own imaginary theme song (like that one from television's Bosom Buddies ) as we watched the ascension of our new favorite power couple, CannonHair. Florida Speaker of the House Dean Cannon was clearly the chiseled lead in this sitcom romp through policy and sloganeering, while Senate President Mike Haridopolos fopped and flopped like a lovable sidekick in the Buddy Lembeck or "Boner" Stabone mode. It was going to be perfect: all secret handshakes and pratfalls and prom date shenanigans. But then, as it is wont to do, ambition reared its ugly head.
Late last week, the hair-half of our Republican construct officially announced that he would be going up against cardboard astronaut and U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in the 2012 U.S. Senatorial sweepstakes, meaning that instead of spinning balls on his nose for the next couple of years for our enjoyment, he'll be campaigning and trying to sound like an electable adult. Boo.
"I am proud to say I'm in the race but of course focused on the issues facing Florida as we face a very difficult budget right now," Haridopolos faced FOX 35 News. Of course.
It got us to thinking about exactly what we know – beyond the obvious sidekick cuddle- factor – about Mike Haridopolos. We only had to dig a couple days back before the "official" campaign announcement to get to a little bit of political hopscotch. Last week Haridopolos tried to be all tough-jawed on the high-speed rail project, saying that he would support it only if private enterprise picked up the remaining $280 million not being funded by the federal government. Huh. This, after the Senate president went to bat so heartily for the less appealing SunRail back in 2010. Some of his peers called that fishy.
Well, not as fishy as Haridopolos' history. Last year our boy fell afoul of the state ethics commission for failing to properly fill out his public disclosure forms from 2005–2008, because he forgot he had a $400,000 investment property in Mt. Dora (also that he was making money on the side via a consulting firm). We checked Mr. Hair's disclosures from 2006–2008 and can't really make too much sense of them: two homes in 2006 with a combined value of $901,000, two homes in 2007 adding up to $825,000, two homes in 2008 adding up to $1.6 million. All of this on a $30,000-a-year government salary? Not exactly. Haridopolos also raised eyebrows for double-dipping on the state dime when he took a lecturing gig at the University of Florida in 2008; he was paid $75,000 for nine months of doing nothing. He wrote a "manuscript" for Brevard Community College for which he was paid $150,000 in public money; you can only find that book at the BCC library, though you probably wouldn't want to. The guide to being an effective legislator says, "a cell phone will be essential," according to the Orlando Sentinel. Brilliant!

We don't use EPGP, just a form of DKP.
However we set up a "few" people as designated raid viable off specs that the 25 mans actually utilize from time to time. As in we run 2 main tanks and occasionally need a 3rd. The 3rd tank is considered a tank as their main however they are a designated off spec for heals when we only need 2 tanks. There is a holy pally that is considered a main spec healer and a designated off spec ret. So when we only need 2 tanks the 3rd tank goes holy and one healer goes ret, so we don't over stack heals. We also have a few people designated as a backup tank if needed and a few for DPS.
I think there is maybe 6 total raiders that have these rights.
Designated off spec > regular off spec, because those designated people actually use their off spec to further our progression and are viable in that role. They do an "off spec interest" bid and do not get charged DKP.

John Carney Needs HelpBy Bess Levin
My dear friend and former colleague John Carney will be joining CNBC.com as a "senior editor" in the coming weeks and will also be "appearing regularly on CNBC's Business Day programming." Over the last few years John has been on the network as guest commentator but now that he's an official member of the team, one very important thing needs to happen. It goes without saying but here it is: a nickname. Maria's got one, Erin's got one, Phil LeBeau's got one and now Carney needs one too. If he's gonna do this, he's gotta do this right. I know what my pick is but let's get democratic about this. Serious suggestions only, please.
Rice Student Thinks Jefferies Is "More Courteous" Than Its Counterparts And Has "The Best Corporate Culture In Town"By Bess Levin
And she's sorry she missed her interview with the rainmakers and hopes they'll be able to find it in their hearts to forgive her. Because they're not like those other banks. They're different.
From: [redacted at Rice]
Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 9:22 AM
To: [redacted at Jefferies]
Subject: Interviewee
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to sincerely apologize for not attending the interview I had scheduled with Jefferies & Company on Rice campus. I would also like to thank you for informing the CSPD, so as to keep me accountable for my selfish and careless actions. While I cannot take back time and no excuse suffices to rectify this great wronging, I would like to offer a brief explanation of my lack of attendance in hope that you will forgive me.
How To Profit From Global Warming: Thailand EditionBy John Carney
The streets of Chiang Mai, Thailand's second city located near the northern end of the country, are nearly empty during summer middays. Most people you encounter will be tourists, backpackers and the drivers of tuk-tuks, the three-wheeled taxis that are everywhere in South East Asia. Thais know that the midday sun–or heated haze–is to be avoided.
So where are all the Thais? A great many are at home, safely shaded and cooled by those slow-motion fans that cool residents of South East Asia but provide no relief to visitors. But those Thais who need to get out of the house–especially those with some extra disposable income–head to the mall.
Recent visits to a few of the malls in Chiang Mai suggests that hotter days drive up mall visits. It's been unseasonably warm in the last few weeks, and business is booming. If you want to profit from fear of imminent environmental doom, the mall is where to do it in Thailand.
I'm officially on vacation here in Thailand, so I haven't bothered to find out who owns the malls or the bigger Thai stores. But I did notice a few American companies with Thai mall exposure: Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut and Duncan Donuts.
So the next time you hear about the "inconvenient question" you'll have a convenience store answer: Long the DQ Blizzard!
–John Carney is trying to find ways stay cool in Thailand.
Thailand: Future M&A ParadiseBy John Carney
Recently laid off from your buldge bracket bank because the buyout business has dried up? Well Bangkok may be where you want to be. Beside the obvious benefits–cheap domestic help and bespoke clothing–the land of smiles may be poised for an M&A boom.
Firms here cannot use tax losses on the books of acquired companies to offset profits of the combined entity. But that may be changing thanks to a newly announced government plan to boost investment.
The tax laws now in place discourage deal making because mergers erase value by eliminating carried tax losses. The change couild unleash value now trapped inside firms, making deals much more attractive. Firms with tax losses on the books will suddenly have a valuable asset.
This is probably somehow related to rice or Buddhism but I've probably said enough on that for now.
–John Carney is "on assignment" in Thailand.
Thailand: Rice Basket To The WorldBy John Carney
There's a deep irony to all the talk about the global food crunch (they laugh at our "credit crunch" here, you can't eat credit) portending dark deeds in Thailand. This country is hardly in danger of running out of rice, short term or long term. In fact, it supplies the international market with 30% of its rice. This eclipses many countries, such as China, that produce far more rice but have limited exposure to global markets due to export curbs. Thailand, despite the dire talk of rice price hikes, probably stands to reap huge profits from the Food Crunch.
What's more, Thailand could produce even more rice than it does. Large parts of its rice fields are underproductive, in part because they are not properly irrigated. Many fields that could produce multiple crops a year produce just one or two. Price controls and other government mucking about contribute to the low-productivity. But, if I were asked, I'd probably say an even bigger role is played by the heat here. It's really, really hot in the summer. And it's summer right now. It takes a lot of baht to motivate Thai farmers to work in the summ er. Leisure in this kind of weather is a highly prized commodity. But if prices get high enough, the farmers will dismount from the hammocks and get to planting.
So if Thailand has plenty of rice and could produce more if the price was right, what's all the fuss about? To understand the issue, you have to realize that in this part of the world rice quite literally has a religious dimension. In the mornings you can find women on the streets given rice to monks to "make merit"–which is Buddhist for scoring religious points. At images of the Buddha throughout Thailand, people leave offerings of rice. High prices are seen as interfering with the religious obligations of the people. Keeping rice prices low is a way of staying right with Buddha.
It's also pretty much part of every meal. So imagine, if you will, if $117 oil meant we had to cancel Sunday church services and Saturday bbqs. Rice, in Thailand, is food plus religion. And when it gets expensive, dangerous forces can be unleashed.

Rice Controls And Rumors Of A Coup Or TwoBy John Carney
Thailand may have spent the Cold War on the free market side of the Bamboo Curtain but rice socialism still reigns. Price shocks have politicians scrambling to raise rice productivity through irrigation projects, while consumers are now facing new purchasing limits on rice at markets.
Consumers are limited to buying just three bags of rice at the markets. It's a form of demand side price control made necessary by the supply side price controls exercised by the government. Rice is only allowed to be sold to consumers within certain price bans, which would lead to shortages if market processes were allowed to work themselves out. To avoid market created shortages, the government has decided to preemptively create its own shortages by limiting purchases by consumers.
The next move may be for the Commerce Ministry to release its Strategic Rice Reserves. No really. The government hordes rice in case of shortages here, the way the US government hordes oil. But this possibility may actually lead to further shortages in the long run, as rice farmers may plant fewer crops for fear of downward price pressure from government reserves being released.
All of this is feeding into rumors of a possible military coup. Some say that Thaksin Shinawatra, the populist politician who was ousted in the last coup, may be preparing to come back the same way he was forced out: through a military backed overthrow of the government. He's popular with the monks and the have-nots of Thailand, and has been spending time in temples across the country. Supposedly this temple tour is to atone–or make merit–for past sins. Thaksin insists that it only looks very much like a political campaign.
The rumors of a Thaksin coup have sparked rumors that his opponents could stage a pre-emptive coup to establish their own version of military rule before Thaksin can build his. No one expects Thailand to become another Burma, but talk of competing coups has many saying it is only a question of who does it first.

Forests are not just about trees, they are about people. Forestry includes social issues, policies and institutions, production of goods and services and the livelihoods linked to forests and trees outside forests.
Considering the sometimes forgotten human dimension of forestry, "You are the key" was the title selected for the 20th Session of the Committee on Forestry (COFO). It will be held at FAO headquarters in Rome on 4 – 8 October 2010. COFO is one of the FAO governing bodies and its biennial sessions bring together forestry senior government officials to identify emerging issues and advise FAO on appropriate actions.
This year, discussions will be centred on the new challenges faced by forestry as a result of a changing climate, in particular:
- The balance needed between forests for people, climate change and conservation of biological diversity.
- The issue of forest fires and the linkages to climate change.
- The impact of climate change on water flows from forests.
- Emerging sources of finance for forests and options for sharing benefits of forests widely and equitably.
In addition, World Forest Week 2 (WFW) will take place simultaneously and will offer a series of events, including a panel of scientists and Heads of Forestry on Reducing Emissions for Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) and an international conference on "Emerging Economic Mechanisms: Implications for Forest-Related Policies and Sector Governance" (5-7 October). An information event on "The current status of REDD+: national and international developments" will also be organised on 5 October, by the UN-REDD Programme to provide an update of new developments in the REDD+ arena, including lessons learnt from the implementation of activities and plans for future national strategies.
The schedule of COFO 2010 (including WFW events) is available at http://www.fao.org/forestry/cofo/en/. For more information on FAO governing bodies, see http://www.fao.org/unfao/govbodies/index_en.htm.

Less with the catchy-but-annoying 1988 hit "Cult of Personality" than with deep tracks from the same album (the brightly Afropoppy "The Glamour Boys") and subsequent ones (1990's "Pride," '93's "Bi," 2003's "A ? of When"), Living Colour perfected a brash combination of crunchy metal, agile funk, and soulfully operatic message-music that was a new wrinkle in hard rock even apart from their once-novel iconography as African American rockers. The worldly chops of guitarist Vernon Reid, muscular wail of singer Corey Glover, and Chic-worthy thwack of Will Calhoun remain an Aerosmith-sized pleasure on The Chair in the Doorway, their first album in six years after a '90s breakup and '00s reunion, with all three members (and '92-on bassist Doug Wimbish) firing on all cylinders behind "Bless Those" and "Taught Me"--to my ears, their best anthems yet. 18+.

Killer fungus threatens to destroy B.C. impatiens
Pathogen appears uncontrollable, reducing the popular plant to branches until it collapses and dies
Steve Whysall, Vancouver SunPublished: Thursday, August 01, 2013
A killer fungus has swept into B.C. and is starting to wipe out the most popular kind of impatiens, the shade-loving annual also known as "bizzy-lizzy" that is widely used by gardeners and landscape professionals.
Experts are starting to say this will be the death of impatiens as we know them, forcing greenthumbs to look for alternative plants for growing in the shade.
The pathogen is a form of downy mildew called Plasmopara obducens. It first appears as a white layer on the underside of leaves. Leaves turn yellow and
decay and eventually drop off. Within a few weeks, flowers and leaves fall off, leaving only bare branches. The stems eventually completely collapse and the plant dies.
The disease is spread by airborne spores that affect perfectly healthy plants within six weeks of the plants going into the ground.
GardenWorks, one of B.C.'s biggest garden centre chains, planned to post a notice on its website about the deadly disease and will be handing out leaflets to customers who inquire about it.
The chain, which has six stores (two in Burnaby, one in North Vancouver and three on Vancouver Island) has already had "multiple cases" of gardeners bringing back diseased impatiens and asking for a replacement.
"We don't want to cause a panic," says Scott Pearce, one of the owners of GardenWorks. "But we are doing the responsible thing by telling our customers "If you have a problem with your impatiens, it could be downy mildew."
At the moment, the disease only affects certain kinds of impatiens, mostly the popular varieties of Impatiens walleriana.
New Guinea impatiens, other flowering bedding plants and vegetables are not susceptible.
Pearce says garden centres were aware that the disease had arrived in B.C. in spring, but were not sure how big a problem it would become.
"I am seeing a lot of failures in the landscape and in gardens, so I know this is a big problem and we need to address it.
"We don't want customers blaming themselves and we certainly don't want them to have a repeat experience next year. We want them to have success in their gardens, so we are being very clear that impatiens are prone to downy mildew," Pearce said "The big question is, 'Will we will carry impatiens again next year?' I think we are going to seriously look at that issue. I know some garden centres in the U.S. have already said they will not be carrying impatiens again."
Some Lower Mainland nursery owners who grow impatiens have had to ditch their entire crop because it became infected. They do not want to be identified for fear that retailers will stop buying plants from them.
The disease is carried by the wind, which can blow spores into a nursery without warning.
The disease first appeared in the Britain in 2002. At first, nurseries there thought they could control the problem by introducing improved growing strategies, but by 2011 it was apparent that the disease was unstoppable, being resistant to commercial fungicides.
Outbreaks soon were reported in the eastern U.S., although researchers have found that the pathogen was identified as early as 1897 on wild impatiens in Vermont.
