> YES, IT IS ALWAYS REQUIRED TO SOFTEN THE STONES BEFORE A FLUSH I

USE CAMMELLE TEA AND APPLE JUICE. YOU USUALLY DO NOT MANY LARGE

STONES OUT ON THE FIRST FLUSH. ANOTHER TIP WHEN YOU DRINK THE RED

GRAPRFRUIT JUICE AND OLIVE OIL. MASSAGE YOUR GALLBLADDER AND TRY TO

HELP PUSH SOME OF THE STONES OUT WHILR YOU ARE LAYING DOWN. YHIS

HAS HELPED ME. ON MY 10TH FLUSH I FINALLY GOT OUT AN ODD SHAPED

STONE THAT I SAW ON THE CAT SCAN THAT WAS 1/3 INTO MY GALLBLADDER.

HAVE GRATE FLUSHES.

That's pretty big, over 3/4 of an inch.. Think about softening and emulsifying

first. Lecithin, malic acid etc. Kudos for retaining your organ. -Dave

Ok, to the Dr's dismay I left the hospital with my gallbladder and my

precious stones.

I want to flush, but I don't want to be hasty and get this stone stuck

in common duct or near the pancreas.

My stone is 1.8 to 2.4 cm -- is this small, medium or large?

The stone is stuck near the neck of my gallbladder. Is it really stuck,

will it move with a flush?

Do I need to soften the stone before I try the flushes?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Beth Welcome to the group. My son was 5 1/2 mths when he was banded with a Starband. He started with 12mm of assymetry and ended 4 1 /2 mths later with 3.4mm..well within the normal range. He didn't have tort, so we didn't have to deal with that. His ears started off being 10mm off, and ended at 3 mm of difference, which we were VERY happy with. I was very worried about regression, but we had a 4 week check up after he had graduated and there was NO regression, no more correction either though. So I was happy with the results we received. As for the response to children, I found that if you were honest with them about him having a flat spot and that the helmet is helping to round it....most of the time they're fine with that explanation. If they are a little bit more investigative, I'd let them hold it (not wear it though)..so they could feel

it, touch it, get the curiosity out of the way. good luck Mother to , Starbanded 1/11/07-5/23/07 (soon to be big brother in Feb.) ehirko <ehirko@...> wrote: Hi Everyone,My son, , just got banded with the DOC band for plagio on Monday and we are new to this group. He is 4 months old and we were told that he will likely wear the band for 8 weeks. I'm not sure what all the numbers mean, but he has a 15 mm difference

and Cranial Tech classified him as moderate. His right eye is slightly rounded and his ears are off by a couple of mm. Can anyone share with me the success they've had with their child around the same age and with the same level of plagio, including the length of time wearing the band the amount of correction. Also, has anyone had issues with regression? is very mobile with rolling around and he likes to roll on his back to lay on this flat spot. I'm concerned that when we're done with the band in 2 months that he'll continue to lay in his favorite position and our efforts with the helmet will be in vain. I continue to reposiion him through the night and I never have him on his back during the day, but he still mangages to roll over during the night. And, one more question, what is the best response to give young children questioning the band? A number of the young children in our neighborhood haven't

seen yet, but I am anticipating a lot of questions. Thanks in advance for everyone's support and advice.-BethMom to , 4 months (DOC band 8/20/20007) "In the depths of winter, I finally found there was in me an invincible summer."

Hi ! Congrats on ur son's improvement.

My daughter also started with DOC band at 5 1/2 mths with 11 mm

cranial vault & 10 mm ear asymmetry. But they say tht if the kids

start band at an early age, they grow fast & usually outgrow within

10-12 weeks.

So I was just wondering hw could ur son wear the band so long for 4

1/2 mths. Is starband diff. from DOC in terms of the inner foam so

tht they can shave it for longer time. I was just wishing if my

daughter could also wear it for a little longer so tht i could get

near normal correction. I don't want to stop at 4/5 mm at the end of

treatment.
