I eliminated this problem for my #4 with chelation, anti-virals,

anti-fungals, and biotin.

Sorry I can't help with the CST, but my daughter just came off of

eye patching over the summer. I noticed a lazy eye last year, but

it wasn't apparent to the eye doctors until very early this year.

We went to a pediatric opthalmologist who prescribed eye patching 4

hours a day (for close up work) along with her glasses full time.

We had a VERY hard time getting her to wear a patch, we tried all

the options they gave us, we purchased, and we tried and tried.

Eventually we taped a piece of colored paper over her glasses and

that was her patch! She did let us improve a bit on that, but be

prepared for battles. Add to the fact that an eye patch sets you

apart from the other students, and it's a hard fight!

We also noticed a regression in her school skills. When I asked the

eye doctor, he compared it to us trying to balance the checkbook

with one eye patched--very hard. So be prepared for having a hard

time doing any kind of schoolwork. My daughter appeared totally

dyslexic and didn't want to sit still to do work (more so than her

usual fidgety self). It was a very hard summer.

I hope that it goes easier for you.

Sandeep - No recommendations on some one to do Craniosacral but look at the

Upledger web site. Just goggle, it will come up. Years ago they had a

section on how to find someone by state. Hopefully they'll still have it.

I did it for my PDD-NOS son when he was maybe 9 - 12 months old for

plagiocephaly and torticollis issues. She did a little on my too and

honestly I don't remember how it made me feel.

Thought I'd let you know about the web site.

Pls advise experiences with CranioSacral Therapy &

practitioners in NOVA

My 5 yr old son is having vision issues with his left eye (lazy eye)

and the Developmental Optometrist advised us that he should go for Eye

Patching. Plus he advised us to consider CranioSacral Therapy for him

and also a MRI with a Neurologist to see if there are any optical nerve

issues.

Pls advise any experiences with CranioSacral Therapy to resolve

Attention and Focus issues. Pls advise any excellent CranioSacral

Therapy practitioners in the Northern VA area preferably in Loudoun

area.

We take my son to Lynn Ganz in Reston. She has many years of experience with

CranioSacral Therapy and has taught at the Upledger Institute. You can look her

up at https://lynneganzot.com/.

Best of luck!

Sandeep,

We take my son, my daughter, and myself to a CST in Cincinnati, she

has done wonders with all of us! It is definitely worth checking

out. You can check therapists in your area and their " ratings " at

www.upledger.com and click on locate (find?) a practitioner. We also

recently all had atlas-profilax done, this has to do with the c-1

vertibrate at the top of spine/base of neck. It feels great and has

had serious calming effects, after your body gets used to the new

feeling, and it is supposed to do alot for vision problems, etc,

because it changes the whole structure of the head and neck. You

could google it to find out if there is a practitioner of that in

your area, if you are interested. It also helps to have that done so

that the cranio-sacral sort of stays in place better.

Best of luck with whatever route you take!

Hi,

When you are looking for a Craniosacral practitioner go to the Upledger

Institute on line. Dr. Upledger is the orthopedic surgeon that first worked

with cerebral spinal fluid in this way. He created the Upledger Institute in

Florida and trains others in the techniques. I believe they have some kind of

" find a therapist " section on their website. You can find someone locally that

way. Once you do, pick someone that has taken well beyond the first two or

three craniosacral classes; preferably someone that has reached the pediatric

classes.

It is a really wonderful treatment b/c it is not invasive and very gentle.

Your child has to be able to stay still for a little while with the therapist

hands gently on him/her. My son started with being only able to do 2 minutes,

then 5minutes, then 15 minutes. We started off by having the therapist do a

session on me; while my kids played with toys in the room with us. Then the

therapist would say, " ok your turn " to my son.

hope that helps

My son and I, as well as several other family members receive CST

treatments. I would call this work bordering on miracles with what it

can accomplish. CST has helped my son and me immensely. My nephew has

learning disabilities. After just a few CST sessions, his whole

focus and attitude have expanded positively. For the first time ever,

he's focused and takes initiative. There were no other interventions.

There is a DVD you can buy from their site called " The 10-Step

Protocol " showing basic treatment. It shows a specific way to treat

eye disorders, and Dr. Upledger says it is quite successful in

addressing eye problems in autistic kids. Upledger has a book called

" Working Wonders " with case studies. Many are of austistic kids. It

is exciting to read of so many " miracles " including some of adults who

were brain-damaged in accidents, who far surpassed anyone's

expectations of healing.

I believe Upledger has classes to teach parents some basic ways of

working with their children.

Upledger CSTherapists worked on the Egyptian conjoined twins both

before and after their separation.

I believe, after watching many " birthing stories " on Discovery Health,

that our modern day birthing practices whack many children's bodies

out of alignment, causing distress and jammed up cerebral spinal

fluid, so it doesn't flow throughout the body rhythmically, as it

should. JMO. I believe that when you clear up the energetic systems

(CSF, lymphatic, circulation, acupuncture meridians, etc.), every

system in the body is freed up to do its work better.

Best healing!

My son was developing a lazy eye at the age of 9. It was in response

to reading which improved for him when he used only one eye.

We took him to a developmental optometrist and he was diagnosed with

a binocular vision problem. After eye therapy he now reads well,

enjoys it thoroughly, and his hitting and catching has improved

tremendously.

If your child, will/can cooperate I would recommend seeking out a

developmental optometrist before anything radical, ie surgery etc.
