Sylvia Rimm on Raising Kids by Dr. Sylvia Rimm

I am writing to you about our "not for profit" Enuresis treatment. We cannot afford expensive advertisement and we sometimes get response from letters to treatment centers on the Internet.

Hargitt House Enuresis Treatment Center is a non-for-profit foundation. For twenty-nine (29) years we have successfully cured children who wet the bed. Our cure rate is based on the strict use of our instructions. We use a natural and organic diet that is temporary. After the child is totally dry for seven nights in a row, we instruct the parents with a very "exact" restoration of the foods and drinks. This diet follows many of Dr. Doris Rapp's research pertaining to children's diet problems

We are communicating with the families by computer, Monday thru Friday, and with a manual that has been proven to be a better way to treat children. We have discovered that children respond to us better if there are no embarrassing trips to a strange place, to talk to a strange person, or if a strange lady comes to to their home to talk about this very sensitive problem. We answer the parent's questions emailed to us by printing the answer under their question and returning the email sometimes as soon as we receive the question. Then we ask that the parent print the page and make a journal for reference.

We do not claim miracles. We tell parents in the beginning that it takes work to break into that deep sleep, but we guarantee our treatment if the parents follow instructions for the average six to eight weeks. Illness or injury can cause the treatment to last longer because of medications.

Our treatment was developed by doctors and therapists and research analysts. Dr. Berry Warshaw, MD was an Associate Professor and Chief of Pediatric Nephrology at Emory University School of Medicine. PBS, Public Broadcasting System, produced a documentary discussing the brutal treatment of children by their parents. They asked Dr. Warshaw to speak because he had worked with an especially brutal case of a murdered child who would not stop wetting the bed. PBS was shocked because he gave new evidence on the shameful subject of wetting the bed. He had studied the problem and had determined 90% of all enuretics were “Deep Sleepers”! The enuretics cannot help wetting the bed!! The parents punished the children because they thought the child was just being lazy.

95% of the parents we talk to now realize that it is not laziness, it is deep sleep...The brain in deep sleep has no control of that body function at night. We have learned through years of research that we can break open a small window in this deep sleep in order to "down-load" data into the brain as you would download data into a computer.

We have been included in several Ann Landers and Dear Abbey columns praising our treatment. Some urologists have recommended us to their patients because doctors do not have the time to give instructions and answer questions, Monday through Friday, every week until a child is dry. They give pills, stretch bladders and some surgery, but we have proven that the pills do not work. 97% of the children we treat who have tried the pills reported the pills work for a while, then they start wetting the bed again. Most reported they never worked at all.

We do not treat children until we ask about their physical condition. We do not interfere with any treatment prescribed by doctors. If they have to have continued medications we ask that they explain our treatment to their doctor. Sometimes it is difficult if the medications cause tiring or sleepiness. We also find that ADHD sometiimes becomes easier to control after the child has become dry. We always ask if they are in treatment for a more serious form kidney or bladder disease. In fact we suggest to the parent that they take our manual to the doctor. If you would be interested in discussing our treatment our home website is:

If it is basic enuresis, we except them. We only charge $550.00 for our treatment which covers the treatment costs of communication and and materials. We are "not-for-profit". We are the research entity for Hargitt House Enuresis Treatment Center. We try to treat children that cannot afford to pay for our treatment. We know that times are very stressful financially, so we are offering our treatment temporarally for $425.00

I would not recommend Hargitt House at all and here's why;

I contacted them, and used their alarm system for my son when he was 6 years old to stop night-time bed-wetting. We followed the directions exactly as they stated. The alarm was so loud it did wake him up, and he QUICKLY stopped wetting the bed. He's nearly 13 now and never wets the bed. He gets out of bed and wets the floor. His brain is still trying to avoid that obnoxious alarm. AND, I have called and left messages, and emailed these people to find out a solution to this. It's been three years and STILL no response. If I had it to do over, I would never have used the alarm system. I just pray he will someday outgrow this.
