And actually to be fair, the general public forgets this as well.
In all of your travels - did you ever come across the work of David Berceli? I've been reading about his work in Trauma Release Exercise.

Then you get knuckle-heads who write articles like this. Taking studies and twisting their findings to create a headline that will sell magazines. I excuse the public for not knowing what to believe.

Originally posted by skevimc View PostThere's a great picture taken at the ACSM conference (American College of Sports Medicine). It was a pseudo-experiment done on the 'leaders' in exercise research. They took a sign or a cone or something (it's been a while since I've seen the picture. I'll see if I can find it.) and put it in front of the escalator implying that it was broken. The stairs were right next to it. (You know at conference centers where the escalators are on the sides and a double row of stairs runs down the middle). Anyway, it was a short flight of stairs. The picture shows that people walked around the cones and took the escalator instead of the 10 or 15 stairs. Like I said, this was at the ACSM conference. So it's even impossible to get the scientists who show how beneficial exercise is to exercise.
I haven't come across him that I know of. Looking briefly at his stuff, it does look pretty interesting. The more I study the more I'm amazed at how beneficial exercise is. Our bodies are made to move and keep moving. We're not made to be sedentary.

There was a paper presented yesterday at the SRS annual meeting titled "Preoperative Vitamin D Deficiency in Adults Undergoing Spinal Deformity Surgery". They state that "The mean vitamin D level was 31.7 +13.3 ng/mL. Of 83 patients, 54% were vitamin D inadequate (<32 ng/mL) and 18% were deficient (<20).Never argue with an idiot. They always drag you down to their level, and then they beat you with experience. --Twain

This thread caught my eye as our son was just diagnosed w scoliosis (49% now 56%) and vitamin D deficiency. Surprise on both, as he downs 3 bowls of cereal w soy milk each day and plays outside several days a week. I'd like to see more studies on this.Mom of 14yo son diagnosed Oct 2011
