We here at Bedwetting Treatment Center, (BTC,) have been able to help thousands of families over the course of 50 years because of one woman: My mom. She stood strong in her determination to help me overcome my own bedwetting challenge. Her single-pointed conviction to free me from my burden led to something amazing: The discovery of scientific evidence indicating that bedwetting is caused by an unusually deep and abnormal pattern of sleep.
My mom spent years learning what to do with this evidence in order to end my bedwetting. She did this because she HAD to. No one—not even doctors—had any answers about why bedwetting happens, and what can be done to correct it. What she applied to me became anecdotal evidence for her, because not only did my bedwetting (enuresis) come to an end, I began to flourish for the first time.
That’s because I was getting good sleep for the first time. I felt especially good about who I was without the stigma and the shame that’s so closely tied to this condition.
It was my mom’s love for me and her commitment to others that inspired her to rise from a mom who was advocating for her child’s health and mental well-being, to the founder and CEO of Bedwetting Treatment Center.
My mom changed my life because of her stand for a cure, even in the face of pushback, doubt, criticism, and resistance from naysayers within the medical community. She doesn’t back down from a fight, especially where her children are concerned.
And while she was used to being behind the scenes in life, her advocacy to change a paradigm of outdated thinking that bedwetting is no big deal, that it’ll be outgrown, or that it requires medical intervention of any kind, had her step to the forefront to get the word out that she can help other parents.
She stepped out of her comfort zone and in front of the camera on local television shows. She overcame fear because her advocacy was more important. She set out to reach those parents who were spinning their wheels and tirelessly efforting to help their children be free of an enormous burden.
Sometimes it takes a resourceful parent like my mom to challenge and change an inaccurate paradigm of thinking.
With me by her side, my mom, along with our entire team here at BTC, are your advocates. We know the massive amount of misinformation you’re sorting through just in Google alone. We know about the unnecessary tests and the harmful medications and the useless treatment recommendations, and we’ve heard it on repeat from thousands of parents over the years, all of whom came to us feeling helpless, hopeless, desperate, and defeated.
While our story isn’t one of David and Goliath, it does have flavors of that. And while we haven’t yet broken through the crusty, conditioned medical mindset or the widespread, mainstream misinformation, we ARE standing strong in the face of the misguided naysayers. We continue to challenge misleading recommendations and outdated thinking.
We charge the drug companies not to prioritize profits over wellbeing by marketing meds that don’t target the cause of bedwetting one iota.
After five decades, we at BTC remain as a brightly burning candle casting light into a big, dark room of skepticism. We are a light that cannot be extinguished because our passionate advocacy is fully established. Our light continues to burn to reach parents who are feeling helpless and frustrated, because we know we can help them to create a new story for their child—for their family.
Everybody on our team at BTC has been leading the way with us for decades. People love to make a difference for others, and by eliminating bedwetting and contributing to the health of our patients—this is the best way we know how to do just that.
