Urgent! 19 month old baby in distress

Dearest Sir,
My youngest daughter is 19 months old. She suffered stress throughout her young life. She was hospitalized at birth, then 2 more times but no clear conclusion was drawn. Doctors said she had acid reflux disease & a possible milk allergy. They made me stop nursing her which she never took to well.
Finally, her condition evened out after some therapy (physical & touch/ energy/ Reiki).
Then 2 traumatic events occurred & caused her distress. Her father had to be away from us, then her brother who is 5 came for a year & left. At this time my 12 year old daughter became weak & lethargic. She was found to have an unknown virus, & borderline anemia. She seems well now.
Next, my baby received her immunizations for 18 months & 15 months old babies together at 19 months old. Her weight is also 19 lbs at this time. She accepted the shots well & was fine for a week afterwards. I do not trust the purity of American immunizations. She had stopped taking her pacifier about 2-3 months prior to the shots & was taking more bottles (of juice or water) but at this time she became increasingly thirsty. She has begun peeing excessively & drinking as often as I allow her to. I considered the possibility that she was substituting her bottle for her pacifier to comfort herself. I tried increasing the water in her bottles, decreasing the juice, & limiting her intake. I did this for 2 days. Yesterday, I tried milk again as well.
She became pale. She was tripping & falling more than normal. She was tired & still was peeing excessively as if all liquids went straight through her. She had a cold sweat 2X then I returned her juice bottle to her. I am starting a record of exactly how much she is drinking & peeing. Her appetite is poor. Her disposition does not match her physical ailments however. She is bubbly, happy & active, although mean occasionally. Her father's disposition is a bit impatient, he's a young, simple, all American type. I am healing from an ailment but my general disposition is spiritual minded, compassionate, & loving. Her 12 year old sister is very intelligent, a bit rebellious (jealous), selfish, active, talkative & hyper. We are an affectionate family.
The child's father is very insistent on a diet I do not consider healthy & I obey his wishes but I may eat & feed the child whatever I like when he's at work (2 out of 3 meals a day). He likes meat & potatoes. I like fresh fruits & vegetables & yogurt & tofu & grains. The baby prefers fruits but eats some of anything offered.
I feel certain that if I take my child for testing Monday she will be diagnosed w/ type 1 diabetes. I'm normally right when I have suspicions about someone's health & often can correct situations through diet changes or herbal teas. I believe that the immunizations were the final catalyst for this malady. I see this thing attempting to gain a foothold in my child & I believe it can be stopped if I knew how to do it. Maybe her system needs resetting or cleansing? Please if you can offer any advice at all I will appreciate it eternally. The medical system here thrives on keeping people sick. They treat a symptom but ignore the whole person & true cause.
The stress in our lives is at an end now. Maybe the baby became used to stress due to the situations of the recent past? The last issue I feel may be affecting her is lack of exercise. We live in a small apartment in Northeastern U.S.A. & it's too cold to go outside much. She rarely sees sunshine or has much space to run. Please help if you are able, as I believe you are. Thank you for your time. Susan

Thank you so much for your time sir! I feel that I have a short window of time here before something serious takes hold. Your advice is appreciated beyond words.
I'm answering these questions for my 19 month old baby girl as she is the subject here. 
Name: Aria
Gender: F
Age: 19 months
Body Type: very thin, short legs, long torso shaped like an upside down triangle, muscular
Height: unsure but Dr. says it is in normal range for her age
Weight: 19 lbs (underweight)
General appearance: thin, white, light blonde curly hair, light blue eyes, pink usually in cheeks but pale at times, nice smile, sparkly eyes
Have you used homeopathic medicines before? If so what, and what homeopathic potencies did you use? I gave her gripe water 2X daily when she was having tummy problems after being diagnosed w/ acid reflux just over a year. She was taking a prescription med for it but doesn't need it anymore. It is made from Ginger & fennel if I recall correctly. I gave her natural teething tablets that contain chamomile for teething. When there is stress in her environment I occasionally give her lavender or chamomile baths which sooth her diaper rash & I use the same for aromatherapy occasionally w/ a good reaction from her. I give her infant massage & her Physical Therapist did stretching exercises & massage to help her w/ the acid reflux issue (we believe is a tightness resulting from her 'fight or flight reflex' being awakened due to a rushed birth & immediate separation from mother afterwards for her to be put in an incubator.



Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings. 

1. Describe your main suffering? 
She has been increasingly peeing & drinking excessively over the past 2 mos. She is underweight now & is a poor eater.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? She has a persistent yeast rash on her bottom that I seem to have under control but it's not healing completely. I tried to  decrease her fluid intake & after 2 days she became pale & weak & had a cold sweat at bedtime, she also fell more frequently than normal the 2nd day & seemed lethargic. She kept asking for her juice bottle & I gave it to her the 2nd night (last night). She went back to drinking & peeing excessively but the other symptoms subsided.

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? 
She seems weak & I saw her weakness increasing due to stress in her environment that couldn't be helped. The stress has ended but she seems a bit worried, irritable on occasion, and EXTREMELY clingy towards me (mother) to a point that it's difficult for me to perform everyday tasks due to it. She is very happy, pleasant & curious most of the time however.

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words. She does not seem to know there is anything wrong except that at times she feels restless, anxious, weak & excessively thirsty.

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease? I believe there were a series of catalysts to this issue which I will list in chronological order. 
In utero: there was great stress surrounding the mother. Also mother was being given pain medication for an injury during the pregnancy. Aria had to be weaned after her birth.
Birth: was rushed by the Dr. The essential contraction which pushes fluid from the lungs didn't occur due to the Dr. pulling her out forcefully. This caused fluid in her lungs & low oxygen levels & a stressful state at birth.
After birth: she was immediately taken from the mother to receive oxygen then straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit & put in an incubator. Parents were not allowed to hold her until hours later ,although they did talk to her, hold her hand & rub her back in the incubator. She was also put under bili lights for mild jaundice & fed through a tube to her stomach. She was given phenobarbitol to wean her from the pain meds she received through her mother in utero. She remained in the NICU for 21 days.
A few months later: she had bedding from her rectum & after we had her examined in the local ER she was lifeflighted to a hospital in Danville & given extensive testing of all kinds. It was determined that she probably had severe acid reflux & a possible milk allergy. Mother was ordered to discontinue nursing & to give her special formula instead but Aria didn't take it well & has had low weight gain. She was also given medications for it & mother was told to find a physical therapist for Aria's feeding issues. Mother found a wonderful, holistic PT who assisted Aria in relaxing her tense core & gave mother exercises to do & taught massage to mother for her. Her acid reflux disappeared shortly after that. 
Next; Aria's very troubled older brother came to live w/ us. He was a 4 year old w/ severe behavioral issues. He was also VERY thin & had issues w/ eating. He overcame his issues w/ patience & love. There was immense stress in the home during his presence. Aria's 12 year old sister began behaving badly a little bit too. Then Aria's father had to leave for 2 months for work. Aria was traumatized by this separation as she was very close to her father. She gave up her pacifier during his absence. She seemed a bit sad & withdrawn & cried a lot for her father. She was always a clingy baby but at this time she started to cling desperately to mother 24 hours a day. Even during sleep I still have to hold her or she will not sleep. 
Most recently: Aria's brother (now 5) returned to live w/ his own mother. Her father returned plus she had two sets of immunizations in that same week (almost 2 weeks ago). She seemed ok after the shots (which occurred prior to the arrival & departure) but I could see that she was drinking & peeing increasingly more. This is when the Dr. looked at Aria's diaper rash & said it's from yeast. The ointment they gave me did not work + she has continued to drink & pee ever more excessively. She was having persistent diarrhea then too & her Dr. told me (mother) to give her less juice so I began adding more water to her juice bottles. I thought perhaps she was using the bottle as a substitute for the pacifier so I tried to limit it. That is when she began to appear pale, fall down more, became tired & got cold sweats.

6. Which time of the day you are worst? She has most issues at night & early morning.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? Example- time, temperature, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing etc. She seems to drink & pee more & become more agitated when it's time for sleep or nap. Also anytime she's w/ her father or sister & mom is out of the room. She wants mom to hold her 24 hrs a day or at least play & hold her hand. She is aggravated by heat, she hates the Dr.'s office, and her rash reappears after each bowel movement. 


8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)? Sometimes like she's worse at home than when we go out. 

9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather? She relaxes better in a slightly cool temperature.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc. She is curious, happy, giggly, affectionate & active. When she feels bad she occasionally becomes irritable which she expresses by poking, pulling hair, or hitting though this is not often & mostly towards her 12 year old sister.

- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm? She very much enjoys watching rain & thunderstorms & usually naps better than normal afterwards.

- Do you like being consoled during your tough times? She loves to be held, patted, massaged, & talked or sang to. 

- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc? Yes she is very very sensitive.

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless 
Weeping, talking to one self etc?
She bit at her nails when her brother was doing it. Sometimes she throws her head backwards which I associate w/ whatever tension is left in her core.

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife? Aria loves her family & craves their constant attention. If she doesn't get it she gets frustrated. She dislikes when her older sister raises her voice & argues.

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly? She fears separation from mother & father. Also loud noises & hot water. 


12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions? She loves fruit, fruit juice, anything sweet, some vegetables especially w/ dips. She doesn't like milk & some meat as much but will eat it sometimes.

13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive? Excessive

14. How is your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive? less than normal

15. Is there any kind of food which your body can’t stand? She can't tolerate red dyes in foods. She seems to do better w/ organic foods.

16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs? Her sweat is normal when she's awake but she sweats excessively during sleep, especially on her head. Her father is the same.

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type? Very loose to watery

18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping? She sleeps poorly. She wakes up very thirsty in the night or feels to see if mother is beside her.

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general? I don't think she has any.

20. Do you have any strange, peculiar or unusual symptom or feelings? How are you different from others? She is very skinny but VERY strong & resilient. She craves constant attention & holding. She is very thirsty & pees excessively. Her intelligence & communication skills are far above average for her age.

21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication? I tried to reduce the amount of fruit juice & then liquid. I tried to switch for vegetable juice. Her symptoms increased.

22. What major diseases are running in your family? Heart disease, addiction or alcoholism, diabetes, anemia, psychological issues, thinness & obesity, thyroid disorder

23. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance. She is a tiny toddler. She is always smiling. She is skinny but muscular, her legs are short, her torso is long & shaped like an upside down triangle, she has very light skin, very light blonde curly hair, very light blue eyes with a sparkle in them, she has 2 unique birthmarks.

25. What major diseases have you had in your life and when. Please write them in a chronological manner. She had jaundice & dependency on pain meds at birth, then supposedly acid reflux or milk allergy although she has recovered from all those.

Hello Susan.
I will read carefully what you have written, and give you an answer as soon as I can.
But even now I would suggest that you give your daughter a dose of Arnica Montana 30C. This is because of the stress and shock she must have experienced during childbirth.

Greeting Parakletos
