Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Help! Anybody out there have any experience using Green Rare Earth 600 or Blue 800 speed screens for x-rays? I currently use Green Rare-earth (Regular – 400 speed), but am contemplating changing to a faster system to lower patient exposure. Thanks! Dr. J.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 , I don't have information on the question you asked, but I am curious about the products that your friend sells. Is there a website for the homeopathic sprays? Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Kinda sorta. Lol It's not a great site--well, it looks nice but there's not a lot of info on the sprays because they were not ready to start selling from the web when they put it up. He normally sells via ads in magazines and personal contact. I'll see if I can come up with some info for you. What are you interested in? Like, are you a home gardener or a larger farmer? Not that that makes a difference in the sprays--they are all the same. It's just size of container that would be different. Plus, he's got a small line of personal sprays that are incredible! I've been using the pain sprays for my father, who has diabetic nuropathy, and my brother was here with a cracked rib and using the sprays he got the first full nights sleep in a month since cracking it. I'll see what info I can find out for you. Samala, -- Re:Xray question , I don't have information on the question you asked, but I am curious about the products that your friend sells.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Interesting question. I have been thinking about this lately and considering writing on the package, photographic film enclosed, package may be opened for inspection by Post Master, DO Not Radiate. Next time I go to the post office I'm going to ask them if that would work or be a waste of time.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Oh, good idea. I'll pass that on. Don't know if you saw on another list that I wrote that a dentist told him that he could take some dental film, cut it into small pieces, and attach a paper clip to it. Then when the client opened the package they could send the film back to him, he could develop it and see if it got xrayed or not. But that's a lot of work and cost, and most people won't do that anyway. His sprays still work after being xrayed, but he doesn't like it and wants to avoid it if at all possible. I was told that UPS has their own system and so would be more likely not to Xray, whereas our gov. Postal system probably would. Samala, -------Original Message------- Interesting question.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I have been told by the Postal officials that only suspicious appearing packages are actually x-rayed. All packages are scanned...as they are in all of the carriers. Joyce > > Oh, good idea. I'll pass that on.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hi all: Hannah's ped has ordered the bone density at our Children's Hospital. He said the protocol is to do a bone age xray first. Anyone know what this is? I'll be calling to set up the bone density this week, not sure how long the wait will be to get in. Also so far all her labs came back normal. The only result I have not gotten yet is her Vitamin D level.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hi Beth, a bone age x-ray is usually done on the hand/wrist, as it requires the least radiation. It allows them to observe growth plates and helps estimate how much growth time left...for example, at 16, the orthopedist told us 's growth plate was not completely fused so she might still grow a bit. We had assumed she was done...she grew another inch over the next 18 months...pretty amazing stuff from a wrist x-ray. Glad you have the orders - hope the wait isn't too long.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Diane, Glad we could help. Even now wears her shoes which makes her taller than me. lololol. I think it is something Kid's go through. It is amazing though what shorter folks can do lololol. says well I can be shorter or taller lololol. By a few inches. Tell Maggie to keep her head up and look to the Stars and that is how tall she is :-). Robbin **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I have not checked my email in eons--too much going on at home with surgery and such--so this may be old news to you. But the bone density test can not really be read--we found this out the hard way. You spend all the time for the test and all the money and there are no comparable norms for children, teens, young adults, etc. This is a test that is typically done on an older woman to evaluate her osteoporosis so they have norms for that. So, just warning you that perhaps you might not want to pursue it because it basically tells you nothing--sadly. As for bone age--they check on the growth plates and where they are etc and can make determinations that way. --e http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/health/info/growth/procedure/bone-age.htm A bone age, also called skeletal age, is determined by taking an x-ray (picture) of the left hand and wrist. There are many bones and growth plates (openings between your bones) in your hand and wrist that allow you to grow. The doctor can tell from the x-ray how much time a child has left to grow. Your body makes many hormones that change the way your x-ray looks as you get older. As you age, your body makes more and more hormones. These hormones make the size of your growth plates shrink. They also cause changes in your bones and form new bones. Your child's doctor will look at all of these changes when he/she looks at the x-ray. Sometimes your body does not make the right amount of hormones for your real age. When this happens, your bone age might be older or younger than your real age. If there is a difference between your child's real age and the bone age, the x-ray will help the doctor decide how to care for your child.
