Short note about my research

[sjmcphee]

I am writing to advise my Scoliosis research.

I relate to a recent abstract published on the SRS website.

http://www.ndos.ox.ac.uk/pzs/Group_2/Raso.html


I consider myself an independent scoliosis researcher.

Connective Tissue Deconfiguration. (CTD)
My Scoliosis Research is based on the fact that Scoliosis cannot progress without the Connective Tissue allowing it to.
Most researchers agree that most people have Scoliosis to some very small degree. My Scoliosis research relates specifically to the very first point at which the Deconfiguration of Connective Tissue allowed the creation of a Scoliotic curve pattern. ( Original Deconfiguration.) The Original Deconfiguration creates the curve pattern. I have tracked the progression in my own body before it could be seen in X-rays,and understand the mathematical principles for Scoliosis progresssion to take place. The same mathematical principles apply for both a C and S curve, the difference being where the original deconfiguration occured.

I will stand up now and say that I have the answers these researchers seek. I have the power to wipe out the word IDIOPATHIC. The future of Scoliosis IS in my hands.

Any Criticism openly welcomed.
Nobody can prove me wrong any more than I can prove myself right, yet. And then the question becomes - if nobody can prove me wrong and I know so much, then all things being equal, the simplist answer tends to be right one. At the moment I know the answers, but I have to create a 3Dimentional mathamatical model of Scoliosis progression based on CTD in order to prove it. And its not going to be easy. I need all the advice and help I can get.

What type of help/advice are you searching for?

I am willing to help because I, like many others, have Idiopathic scoliosis and was hit hardly by it - very unexpectedly.

Hi Jessica,

I think that you're right about scoliosis not being idiopathic. There are a number of theories being put forward now. Concordance rates between mothers and daughters with scoliosis (27%) are fairly high, as well as between siblings (something like 40%). This certainly suggests genetic influence in supposedly idiopathic cases, but it doesn't explain everything! I'd suggest researching current peer reviewed journals such as SPINE or The European Spine Journal to see what current theories are out there, if you haven't done so already.
Congratulations on studying scoliosis, there is much more to be studied than just surgical techniques.

Good luck,
Megan
