Re: the history of tip-toe gait-

[Guest guest]

,

I was cleaning out my email files and noticed your post. I have a son who used

to toe walk for years. All our therapists and neurologists could not figure out

why. Our cranial osteopath had the answer. I chose to go to a cranial osteopath

instead of a cranial sacral therapist because I wanted an actual doctor to make

the adjustment. She said that the muscles at the back of the leg act like a

spinal fluid pump. If the fluid in the brain is under pressure, the body can toe

walk. After two adjustments to his head, she released the tightness in his skull

plates and eased the pressure in the fluid. He miraculously stopped toe walking

for years. I have only seen him regress to toe walk once. This was after a quick

growth pattern. She just released the tightness in his head and voila!.

I am aware that toe walking may be from other reasons. But with all the other

docs and therapists, she had the only answer. Dr. Jayne is in

Bridgewater , Massachusetts but I am sure you might be able to google cranial

osteopaths in your area. Best of Luck!!

Thanks for the tip that is really interesting, did the adjustments have

further benefits or was toe-walking the most noticeable?

Hi ,

We saw much improved articulation with the loosing of the jaw, less

irritability, she straightened his incoming teeth that were misaligned. Straight

teeth without braces!!!

The use of an antifungal protocol years ago made a huge difference. His

aggression went away. The lipoic acid, vitamin C, parasitic formula for the gut

bugs and the electronic zapping brought out his speech within weeks. This was

done about 6 or 7 years ago. He leveled off for a while, we had other health

issues to deal with. My youngest daughter who was also mildly autistic went into

kidney failure due to her autoimmune markers and was on dialysis for 2 1/2

years. She died when she was 9. Nick had cardiac arrest due to a F*** up from

his renal doctor and IV nurse and then his kidney's failed. He also had the same

autoimmune markers to his kidney, brain, etc. We switched hospitals and Nick

went on dialysis at Mass General Hosp. He will celebrate his 2 years

anniversary of his kidney transplant this June. Alot has happened us in the

past few years. Nick's autoimmune disease is gone since his has taken the

transplant meds that suppress the immune system. He has been very healthy, few

illnesses. But the looming question is what happened to the latent infections

that might be hiding in his body? The questions we have now are " What are the

lymphoid tissue found in his endoscopy and colonoscopy? " , Gut health is a huge

piece of the puzzle. This whole thing is like layers of the onion. Peeling away

and healing the issues. Each child is different. I remember one of the DAN docs

referring to autism as the " two tack on the chair " theory. Your butt hurts

because your sitting on two tacks. Take one tack away and 50 % of the problem is

resolved. But your butt still hurts! Each step of the way, removing allergens,

healing infections, cleaning up the body, replacing lost nutrients, are all

equally important. You may see more immediate results with one than with

another. But they are each important in the big picture. When the last tack is

removed from the chair, only then with our butt stop hurting!

Keep up the good fight, have faith, pray and ask for help. The answers will find

you.
