That's very, very smart to find really the best people all using different methods and all putting their heads together. And I completely understand why it can only happen in private. Can I ask a big favor? Can you throw up a website or a blog or something public and static and just post monthly reports there? Don't take comments - don't let it devolve into this. But just create a place where someone looking to see what other solutions there might be has a tiny window.

Now I am working on fixing my child's scoliosis. We have tried EVERYTHING else that the so-called experts have to offer and are FINALLY correcting, tremendously, on our own, thanks to one of those "most interesting non-surgical posters" who did not allow himself to be bogged down by the naysayers."The most deadly action you can take is to internalize someone else's negativity, for once you start to believe it, you’re sunk."

dingo is doing a wicked job of researching and learning as much as possible so that he can help his son. He is in possession of a fine brain. Knowledge is empowering him, helping his kid and spreading the word that everyone should be seeking better treatment, whether that be non-invasive or surgical. That is commendable.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

The non-surgical posters (and lurkers) are busy, busy fixing themselves and/or their children, they are smart enough to stay away from the negativity that will drag them down. This constant scrambling by Pooka1 to extinguish any flicker of light in the non-surgical treatment of scoliosis is pathological in itself. I agree with you completely. Yes, if there was another blog ;-) where these theories and ideas could be worked out and analyzed (where the motivation was purely to help FIX the person and not to take their money) that would be pure heaven!

Yes, I agree Dingo is very intelligent. There are many, many very intelligent people on here. We all need to be a little more open minded, including Dingo and including myself (I've watched my own trends open up a bit since I've started out). But, I stand by my promise about taking him and his wife to dinner as a victory celebration if ALL idiopathic scoliosis is caused by a pathogen. I'm not patronizing. I mean it. =)Be happy!

I'm not particularly interested in genetics as genetics in these kinds of disorders, but I am interested in genetics helping to clarify how a disorder works or what a treatment might look like.
Here's a recent article about genetics confirming something people already talk about in scoliosis - taller pubertal stature and accelerated growth rate .

Newton, perhaps the smartest person who ever lived, didn't know a damn thing about scoliosis etiology.
Darwin, who had the single most clever idea in the history of mankind (along with Wallace), couldn't tell you anything about scoliosis etiology.
It is very likely Einstein knew nothing about it either.
That's the point.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

(don't have time to look up another interesting study at the moment - let's just use this as a placeholder and pretend I said something interesting . . . maybe I'll find something)
Not on topic, but, hey, at least it's about scoliosis!!

(trying to get to two posts in a row on topic . . . have to start over . . . don't have time to look up another study . . . just pretend I said something interesting in case I don't find something later)
OK, not exactly on topic, but still interesting. I'll also post this in the general research area
