The cause of scoliosis
Hi everyone,
I'm curious what the real cause of idiopathic scoliosis is. I found and intriguing series of 5 posts from a nurse who thinks that glutenintolerance (triggering an auto immune reaction against the bones) is one of the root causes.
Later in life, I found out that I do have gluten sensitivity (not coeliaki): http://celiacnurse.com/part-1-of-5-part-series-is-there-an-association-between-scoliosis-and-a-gluten-intolerance/. And I do have an other auto immune disease (Hashimoto's) that also has a connection with gluten sensitivity.
A medium (paranormal health worker) in Holland told me she found that a virus was the cause and that you can extinguish it with the vibrations of one of the elements, in the case of scoliosis the element erbium (frequency therapy).
Orthopedic doctors still have no clue what causes ídiopathic scolios ('idiopathic' litteraly means: we have no clue how it arises).
Do you have any other theories about how scoliosis arises? or any thoughts on the above?
Greets, Mieke

I'm going with an oldie but goodie. My mother was ill with a virus while she was pregnant with me. This is what the doctors contributed my scoliosis too
I can see you having a bad back but scoliosis I do not think so. I would like to see documentation on that

All I know is what the doc at Mayo told me. It has been a long time now, but they probably have the records. My scoliosis is relatively mild, so it doesn't bother me.
I may be in the same boat. My mother suffered from tuberculosis in her bones when you was pregnant with me and my sister. I'm 61 and have scoliosis and arthritis in my spine. My sister who is a couple years younger than me, has already had one hip and both knees replaced. Neither of us were aware of our bone problems until after menopause.
The mother of an adult who had the metal implants at age 16 in the mid 1980's was held to a pregnancy weight gain of 15 pounds, perhaps give her petite frame. Her child and husband are over 6 '; did her fetus lack sufficient nutrients because of her restricted caloric intake? She did not lose her teeth, however, so her nutrition may have been adequate for bone growth, and the scoliosis a genetic trait that was inevitable.
i am 83, and mine was caused by polio. i suspect that a lot of scoliosis in the past that was diagnosed as idiopathic was from undiagnosed polio in girls.

I attribute my scoliosis to sleeping in a twin-sized bed as a young adult. I am 6'-4" tall and my family had no other bed for me. I could be wrong, but I don't worry out it now.
