Josie,

It's great to hear how well is adjusting to his band. It

really is amazing how these bands work. Please keep us posted.

Josie,

We too go to Dr. Blecher in Germany and I agree, he is wonderful. My

son's assymetry was at 1.9 when we started. He just turned 6 mos

and we banded at about 5mos. We just went in last Wed for his first

adjustment and in only 3 weeks, he has corrected 60% already and his

assymetry was now only .7!! We were so happy and Dr. Blecher so

suprised at the rate at which he corrected. We are leaving it on

longer although Dr. Blecher said he is within the normal range. We

want to see if we can correct a bit more. So, if you are thinking

you are seeing some correction, you probably are! Good luck.

Hello Josie

It's nice to hear yet another success story of Dr Blecher's patient.

I am going to see him this Friday in Switzerland to get my 1 yr old

son's plagio assesed and hopefuly, treated with a band. I too was

looking for pictures of children with this 'german cranio band' in

the photos file but couldn't find it. So, parents of dr blecher's

patients..please send some photos if you have for our view:-)

It sounds like is doing great in his band! I've read such

great things about Dr. Blecher. That's great you're seeing

improvement already! My Hannah was also severe at 20mm and we saw

some incredible rounding in those first three weeks especially.

Thanks for sharing such a great update.
