Newsday article regarding plagio

[Guest guest]

There was an article in Newsday on Wednesday, January 17th, 2001.

Entittled " A Father Decides Not To Wait " . By Ed Lowe. Page A08

I am sorry that I do not know much about computers and can't find a

way to link the info. It is at Newsday.com - look under headlines

from January 17th,2001. You will see the above title.

I have read about that story so many times on this site.

I am just beginning my journey with plagio and I am afraid of what

will happen with my insurance. I can not afford to pay for it if the

insurance won't cover it.

Thank you all for your kind welcome. I am happy to find support.

I will probably be an emotional wreck through the rest of this but at

least I have somewhere to go for help. Thank you.

I think that article was very dramatic. We had a screaming kid on our

hands while getting cast but it wasn't that bad.!!!!Did that guy

really go an throw up or was that put in there for the dramatic twist

to get attention!!!

Hi everyone,

The DOC band does work after 12 months of age....we have a decent

number of families on the board that can attest to that. I think

they are basing their information on the molding type helmets. The

orginal moding helmets created by Sterrling Clarrion, were indeed non-

effective after 12 months of age. The reason for this is that the

orginal molding helmets were exactly that...a mold for the head to

grow into. During the first 12 months of life the head grows very

rapid and can fill in the mold in a relatively short time frame.

After 12 months the " growth spurt " has slowed down drastically so the

molding helmets are pretty much non-effective.

Since the DOC Band applies gentle pressure to the elevated areas and

leaves room for the areas that need to grow, it will work after 12

months of age. The results will not be as fast to achieve as they

are in the first 12 months of age because that rapid growth spurt has

wound down, but improvement can be still be achieved.

I hope this helps with some of the confusion that this article has

caused.

Sincerely,

Jaya Dong
