I have never heard of this.

He is not a medical doctor. Not that there is anything wrong with

chiropractors, but he is not a medical doctor...I think that might be more

what you want...like a neurologist.

He said he never treated anybody specifically

At least he is honest but make him show you proof. GO meet these actual

people.

When I asked him if he can treat my son, he

For his neuro-cranial stuff? Recommend you talk to a medical doctor before

you do anything like this. Also, covered by medical insurance?

Lots of children have the suction cups, I don't think suction cups cause

hearing loss??

2. He had bad

Which could cause a mild loss but not profound.

What specifically? Autism?

Sirisha I don't mean to be so skeptical but you should proceed very

carefully and please talk to a good pediatric neurologist before you do

anything with this. Also, talk to your audiologist. If she knows anythng

about treating hearing loss she would be able to say Yay or Nay to this.

This stuff sounds extremely questionable to me.

Good Luck

Sirisha,

for some reason my response did not hit the hotmail. I think you need to be

so careful. This man is a chiropractor, not a medical doctor and not a

neurologist. Anything you did, make sure you have the backing of your

pediatric neurologist AND your audiologist. I was skeptical and wary of all

the glowing comments about him. Whatever he did to treat the boy with

developmental disabilities does not sound right either. Sometimes

disabilities have to do with neurotransmitters in the brain - something I

would not trust a chiropractor to do. PLEASE be careful

I've never heard of it before, or this doctor - and I live here in San

. I think that if the results this person gets were as great as they

say they are, everyone would be talking about it. But then again, that's

just me. I guess all I can really say is if you proceed, do so with caution.

Hugs,

Kay

I tend to be a cynic about this kind of thing...I always think, if it

sounds too good to be true, well, if it WERE true, we'd be hearing about it

on Dateline, not on the Internet. ;-)

My son had all these, too. His hearing loss was present at birth, though,

so I know it wasn't *caused* by any of these things...I'm not sure how

treating them would be a factor in restoring hearing...but of course, if

you do find some testimonials from people claiming that their hearing loss

was corrected or significantly helped, let us know, and talk to your

pediatrician!! I'd want to ask them a bajillion questions.

There is some research going on right now about kids that had the vacuum

extraction at birth and ADHD, but that is all I have heard about. My son had

it and the cup kept popping off because he was lodged in the birth canal. He

has a pretty serious case of ADHD and has been medicated since he turned 4.

Anyone else on the list have a child with ADHD that the extractor was used

on???

Hi Kirsten,

Thanks for the information. I would like to hear more information from you

on this. Is there any web site I can browse through?

Thanks,

Sirisha.
