Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 IMO the alpha-lipoic acid could be replaced by glutathione precusors, as we usually have enough ALA. We're low though on glutathione precusors, and ALA's main function is to give an electron to the oxidized glutathione and recycle it in both the energy and antioxidant cycles.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 A great example of how proper EDf casting can help even our older scoli kiddos. It certainly helped mine! Thanks for sharing . Congrats! That’s great progress.HRH From: infantile scoliosis treatment [mailto:infantile scoliosis treatment ] On Behalf Of MockSent: Wednesday, November 09, 2011 9:35 AMinfantile scoliosis treatment Subject: Re: Re: Ages Hello-My son who is 7 was casted for the first time in October. His curve was about 35 degrees. He is 17 degrees in cast. Although I am not expecting to reach a 0, I am very hopeful for the correction that we can get. From: SR Clancy <svale88@...>infantile scoliosis treatment Sent: Tuesday, November 8, 2011 9:44 PMSubject: RE: Re: Ages – My daughter was almost 2 ½ yrs when she received her first EDF/Mehta cast at 49 degrees. She will be 4 in January, and is in cast #7. It is working for her – she is down to the mid-20’s out of cast, and less than 20 in cast. I’m really hoping for more correction this time since I think she’s having/had a growth spurt this last month or so. I actually think things are easier now that she’s bigger. She’s almost completely potty trained, and since her arms & legs are longer in relation to the size of the cast, she can physically do more now than she could a year ago. She doesn’t fuss or complain about the cast at all. She’s not happy about it either, but it’s not an issue. There is someone else in the group looking into or who had their older child casted – I’m thinking 5 or older. But I can’t remember who.
