Jan, that does not add anything to the discussion and is disruptive.

This is the first time I have posted here. I was looking for
assistance. I was not looking to be insulted.

In what way have you been insulted? 

Professional pick pockets distract the mark in various ways. Cranial
manipulation must be a new one.

You got the best advice you could pay for in usenet.

The fact is that the claim that the bones that comprise the skull can be
manipulated is utterly absurd.

Further, the idea that this can address AD/HD is even more absurd.

So, do you want advice or warm fuzzy support for something you really want
to be true? The truth is that once the sutures fuse, (and a baby's
fontanelles or 'soft spots' close) the cranium is one solid sturdy box, and
even the strongest chiropractor's thumbs are not going to be moving the
bones around. Only the mandible, the hyoid, and, to some extent the nasal
septum are mobile. Moving those is not going to help autism or ADD, nor
would moving any of the bones comprising the cranial vault. "Cranial
Adjustment" is a fraud, designed to extract money from the naive.

It isn't. It's a hodgepodge of long-discredited 

Discredited by whom?

ancient ideas that have

been resurrected to make a worthless "treatment" seem useful. 

WRONG.


Ask yourself

this: If the claims are true, why isn't there any decent 

ZZzz.

*Substantial* *real* *solid* *convincing* *hard* *clear-cut* *reasonable*
*significant* *credibile* *compelling* *copious* *direct* *unreliable* *decent*


research that

confirms them? Why isn't there any theory that predicts them to be likely or possible?
