Shlomos Miracle Testimony --------------------------- Our son was born in March of ‘13. It was a normal delivery of a healthy baby boy. He was not yellow at all at birth. About 6 weeks later he seemed yellow. We brought him to the doctor and he told us that the blood test showed high bilirubin. The doctor said to take him immediately to a liver specialist. At about 7 weeks of age, our son was seen by a liver specialist. The specialist was concerned about Biliary Atresia. He did many tests, which showed that his liver was not functioning properly. We were then forced to do a biopsy to figure out what was wrong. The results showed that it was not Biliary Atresia, but was not conclusive of the problem. They called it Neonatal Hepatitis (which simply means ‘problem with the liver’). The baby stopped gaining weight, in fact he was losing weight. His muscle tone dropped dramatically and his skin was very yellow, as well. The Doctor couldn’t treat the problem until he discovered the source. Meanwhile, he was taking special formula to help add calories, and aid with digesting fats that his body wasn’t doing. We were very frightened and worried, until one day my mother-in-law told us about a Chiropractor, Dr. Tabick, which she goes to. She told us that he had helped other people in the past. We felt we had nothing to lose, so we decided to try it. We drove all the way from Central NJ to Brooklyn, NY with our newborn baby (On a good day it took 1 hour and 15 minutes). Dr. Tabick looked at our baby, took some x-rays, and read his report. We held our breath as he told us what he thought about the situation. He said he thinks he can help us. He explained to us where he thought the problem was coming from. Dr. Tabick told us that when the baby was in the womb, or perhaps from birth, his spine got compressed. The signals from the brain that needed to get to the part of the body where the liver was, was not getting any messages, therefore his liver was not working. Dr. Tabick told us that in a few months he will open up his spine and allow the messages to go through, and then our baby will be back to normal. We were so happy and hopeful. Twice a week we brought our baby to be adjusted. We started in June, and didn’t really see any changes for about two months. In about the beginning of August, we had a Doctor’s appointment in CHOP at the specialist. Our baby still didn’t gain any weight and he was falling way off the growth chart. We were starting to really get concerned, especially the Doctor. He began to discuss with us about putting in a feeding tube. He explained to us that a baby needs fat for brain development, therefore it was extremely important that he put on a few pounds. Another concern was that he also was unable to put any weight on his feet because they were too weak. The next day we went to Dr. Tabick, very concerned and upset about the feeding tube. Dr. Tabick told us very strongly that we should not do it. He said that based on his reading, he saw that our baby will begin improving. We calmed down a little and became more optimistic. At that point, we bought a scale so that we could monitor his weight. Sure enough, about 2 weeks later, we weighed him and he gained ½ pound. Slowly each week after that, he kept on gaining a little bit at a time. In the meantime, we were doing all kinds of blood tests, specialized genetic tests, and they all came back negative. For us this was amazing news and aside from that, Dr. Tabick’s theory was correct!By the time it was October, we had another Doctor’s appointment with the specialist. He was pleasantly surprised that our baby did gain some weight and was heading up toward the bottom line of the growth chart. The blood tests were also going in a positive turn, and his muscle tone was improving as well. All this time, we were going to Dr. Tabick two times a week, and Dr. Tabick was very encouraging how well the baby looked. Slowly his yellowness was disappearing and he was beginning to fill out and gain some more weight. By the time the baby was 8-9 months old, he was crawling and standing. He was on the 13th percentile in weight and the yellowness was completely gone. His blood tests were also almost all in the normal range. At this point, Dr. Tabick told us we should start coming in only once a week, then one every two weeks… He kept spacing out our visits more and more. Our baby is now 1 years old. HE started walking, climbing up and down steps, and even began talking. He is doing all the things that a 1 year old should be doing. We just got back his recent blood test results, and thank G-d, his liver numbers are all normal!! Dr. Tabick, how can we thank you enough for your kindness encouragement, and of course great expertise, through this very trying time for us and our family.
