Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hello, I took a look and I see what your concerns are. In my opinion from the pictures you have, it does appear that ther is plagiocephaly present. I couldn't tell you true severity from the angles, but what I am seeing is some flatness(asymmetry), and her ears do look a bit misaligned. She is at a great age to start treatment and recieve excellent correction. I would go get a free evaluation at Cranial Technologies. Here is thier website www,cranialtech.com so you can learn about them. I also have a question for you. Does your daughter have good head control? Does she seem to tilt to one side or look mainly in one direction, or is it difficult to get her to turn her head to look at something on one side? I could not tell very well in the pics, but she has a shoulder that looks a bit pulled up and I was wondering if you were seeing any of the signs I asked about of torticollis or if it was just the pic.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi Carol- Thank you so much for looking at the photos-I added another this evening after bathtime. I think I got the right angle this time! She has always favored her right side, but she can turn her head easily in either direction-I think the picture may just be from a bad angle. > > > > Hi-I have been concerned about the shape of my daughter's head since > > she was 2 months old-she's now 4 1/2 months.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Much better pics. I do see the plagio. I would say a high mild to a moderate. I am thinking moderate because of the facial and ear asymmetry. I still recommend going for the free consult at Cranial Tech.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thanks again for taking another look at the photos (for anyone else who'd interested in peeking-they are under plagio kids-album title- plagiocephaly suspected). One last question (for now, at least)-how do you judge facial assymetry from those photos? I know I can see it in the mirror, but Im not sure what exactly is assymetric in the photos-her forehead? I've tried to contact CT in Paramus to set up an eval, but havent had luck yet! (keep getting a machine) I'll keep trying! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Cheryl, It is always hard for us moms to see the total facial asymmetry we see them every day, the mirror helps alot. I don't think I am seeing anything that you are not already, but I will list the things I looked for, and tell you it is only from looking at the pictures. She may look better or worse in person. The one cheek is looking a bit chubbier than the other and the misalignment of the ears. I'm back and forth on the forehead. It looks very mild. Asymmetry is taken in to account when the diagnosis is made.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 HNI zyme prime is supposed to help with fats digestion. The diharrea is almost certainly caused by the vitamin E. You might want to switch to a different brand of vitamin E. Some people are unable to digest certain brands of vitamins but can handle other brands. I remember one time I was having some trouble digesting multivitamins; they were making me throw up. But then I switched to Rainbow Light multivitamins and I did fine with those. -- > > hello, > I have read up on this groups files and the houston website.

He has been taking a fish oil supp. for a while, and I recently > started him on vit e, and since then it has been a mess, diarreah and > lots of it. Vitamin E is usually made from soy. Try giving it with Peptizyde, see if that helps. >> He has been off the oils for two days and the bm's are > better. Are there enzymes that would help with the digestion of fish > and vit e oil? If it is a fat problem, look for something with lipase, like Zyme Prime. If it is a soy problem, try the Peptizyde. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hello. I possibly intend to do a flush, but I am often unable to sleep on my right side. Does anyone have any idea how much I would hurt my chances of expelling stones if I slept on my back the whole time? Also, I understand I could have success with using from 3 tablespoons to1/4 cup of oil. Any opinions on this? Thanks for any help.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 why is it advised to sleep on right side during a flush? does that help pushing olive oil or something else into the gall bladder? does anything enter gall bladder? i have heard that gallbladder excretes only, and that is bile. but i think, to excrete gallstones, one should sleep on left side so that opening of gall bladder faces downwards.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 if you have access to older xrays, Dr Bridwell would probably like to see how they have changed over the years. You do not need to bring recent xrays unless you need to see a local doctor to get a referral for insurance purposes. Dr Bridwell will want more xrays done at his office to his specifications anyway. > > > Hello group, > I haven't seen a back doctor in about 6 or 7 years, but > continue to see the hump getting worse year after year. > Today I have quite a bit of pain starting a the top of > the incision from the HR surgery.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks I do have a ton of old xrays some before my HR surgery, and many for years after sugery. It will probably cost a fortune to send them out.
