Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 There are 2 main groups of bands - Active and Passive. Active bands work with holding points on the skull where gentle pressure is applied to hold the band in place and redirect growth into voids in the band where the flat parts are. They need to be adjusted every other week. Passive bands are round helmets that a baby wears and as the skull grows it grows into and takes on the shape of the band. There are little to no adjustments. Types of active bands are - DOC, StarBand, Hanger Types of passive - Cranial C.A.P.(also called Danmar) The experience of the orthotist is the most IMPORTANT thing when looking at which is best - the best band in bad hands can be extremely harmful. Starband and Hanger are very similar. They are provided by prostetic and orthotic offices - the ortho there is trained in fitting all kinds of devices from bands to leg braces. DOC is provided by a facility that only provides bands and they are fitted by Physical or Occupational theripists who are trained to fit bands. I do not know the process of getting a passive band - other than contacting a provider and they give it to you with instructions. I have heard of passive bands that need some adjustments. HTH!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 MMS sounds as though it has some heavy duty detox effects, so I don't know if anyone has tried this, but I'm curious and looking for feedback so please let me know if you have tried the following or do try it: Taking MMS increasing the drops daily (one per day increase), until the detox effects start (even mild effects), then doing the dose back one drop so that you have no effects and using DMSO with the MMS for better absorption. I'm wondering if it would be safe with all of the detox effects, and how DMSO does help whatever is mixed with it to absorb to the cellualar level (from what I've been reading over the last few days on the Internet). I have order a book on the DMSO, and will know more after it has arrived, and been read. Thanks for any information. In Christ, Ava Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
