IonCleanse by AMD Detox Footbath System
- Details
- Last Updated: 16 December 2016 16 December 2016
I was introduced to the concept of detox footbaths around 2007 and owned a competing footbath since then. It had fallen off my list of things I regularly did until recently. My local LLMD used the IonCleanse by AMD in their office and another practitioner I recently connected with was also using them.
When I attended AutismOne last year, they had a huge booth and people were doing sessions the entire weekend. Much of what convinced me to go with this option has been the improvements that some children with autism have reported with the IonCleanse by AMD. I had thought about getting one for awhile, and I finally decided to take the plunge (so to speak). I traded in the one I had purchased previously and upgraded to the IonCleanse by AMD.
While the IonCleanse by AMD is an investment, I'm impressed that they offer a 100% money back guarantee. That's not easy to find in the health arena. They offer the Solo for home use and have a Professional unit for practitioners as well.
A Major Difference, the creator, has shared research on their products on their website. Select Resources, Research. A great blog that chronicles Dominic's Journey with the IonCleanse by AMD can be found here.
While my use of this particular device is around six months, I have been using it every other day and do feel some changes. The biggest surprise was that the herbs I was taking daily for liver and kidney support no longer seemed to energetically test as necessary. I hope that continues as it may mean taking less and spending less over time.
I have personally been of the opinion for some time that detoxification was my major challenge, and I am drawn to tools that will upregulate detoxification.

President Obama took time out today to make his picks for the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments that start this week.
Obama videotaped a "March Madness" segment for ESPN; it will be broadcast Wednesday morning.
It's become something of a presidential tradition; in 2009, his first year in office, Obama successfully picked the University of North Carolina Tar Heels to win the men's tournament.
The president did not project the women's tournament that year, bringing him some journalistic heat.
Last year, Obama did prepare a women's bracket, and -- like just about every other prognosticators -- picked the undefeated University of Connecticut Lady Huskies, who indeed went on to win another title.
Obama had less success in the men's tournament -- his pick, the University of Kansas Jayhawks, bowed out in the second round.
We're not sure who Obama will go with this year, but we do know three of the top seeds are from key battleground states -- Duke, Pittsburgh, and Ohio State.
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Passolt Leadership Camp Section 9:15 10:15 a.m. Keynote Speaker Seeing Beyond Reform: A Leadership Guide to the Emerging New Normal in Healthcare F James E. Orlikoff, President, Orlikoff & Associates, Inc.; National Advisor on Governance and Leadership to the American Hospital James E. Orlikoff Association The new normal of healthcare is here! In today s landscape, we see depressed hospital volumes and margins, declining reimbursement, mergers and new affiliations creating supersystems, innovations like ACOs emerging daily, and much more. The challenges facing both leaders and individual healthcare professionals are daunting but they can be overcome. First, leaders need to recognize that the changes in healthcare really are transformational not just transactional. Leaders need to position their organizations so they become something radically different. They need to work on the system, not just in it. And they need to work on themselves as well, to leverage leadership best practices at all levels. In this presentation, Mr. Orlikoff, author of the award-winning book, Board Work: Governing Health Care Organizations, and the primary author of Malpractice Prevention and Liability Control for Hospitals, will discuss the macro forces driving revolutionary change in healthcare, and their probable repercussions. He will also suggest approaches to effective transformative leadership, based on more than 25 years experience in consulting for healthcare systems in six countries. 10:15 10:45 a.m. Refreshment Break in Exhibit Area Florentine Ballroom/Promenade Level 10:45 a.m. Noon Concurrent Session I Legal Implications of Genetic Testing/Therapy F Peter Whitted, MD, JD, Director, COPIC; Ophthalmologist, Midwest Eye Care, P.C. F Donna A. Messner, PhD, Vice President and Senior Research Director, Lead, GPC-USA Oncology Consortium, Center for Medical Technology Policy F Gary Marchant, PhD, JD, Faculty Director, Center for Law, Science & Innovation, Sandra Day O Connor College of Law, Arizona State University F Joseph Sanders, JD, PhD, A.A. White Professor of Law, University of Houston Law Center Genetic testing has a key place in the recent trend toward personalized medicine, helping patients and their physicians learn whether they have a predisposition to certain medical conditions, including cancer, as well as providing guidance for genomically targeted therapies for certain diseases. Several companies are marketing genetic testing materials, and the wider availability of these tests appeals to those patients who would like to know what their future may hold. However, some commentators have noted that the ability to identify genetic mutations has outpaced our understanding of their potential consequences. Another avenue of concern are payer policies on reimbursement for genetic testing what does it take to get 4

In light of this environment, will genetic testing be linked with additional liability for physicians? Should genetic testing multi-panel or specific-gene testing become one element in the standard of care for certain patients? What disclosure duties come with genetic test information that may have no significance when other important related findings are not present, i.e., there are variants of unknown significance? How do courts of law look upon genetic testing data? All important elements must be considered to understand what we will face as we begin the journey to the next stage of personalized medicine genetic therapy and genomically targeted therapies for diseases. 10:45 a.m. Noon Concurrent Session I Pompeian Ballroom/Promenade Level What s in Store for the Affordable Care Act and You? F Mary-Lou A. Misrahy, ARM, President and Chief Executive Officer, Physicians Insurance A Mutual Company F Seth J. Chandler, JD, Foundation Professor of Law, Director, Health Law & Policy Institute, University of Houston Law Center F Ardis D. Hoven, MD, Immediate Past President, American Medical Association Quite possibly the most controversial pieces of legislation enacted by Congress in a generation, more than five years after it was signed into law, the Affordable Care Act is still a topic of fervid discussion. As its implementation continues, it is important to know not only what its provisions do now, but also what the future holds as more elements come into play. The speakers will provide insights, from both pro and con perspectives, on what the ACA has done, what it will do, and what is likely to happen as it becomes more fully integrated into the U.S. healthcare system. Noon 1:30 p.m. Gold Sponsor Luncheon Augustus Ballroom I & II/Emperors Level Defensive Medicine and Healthcare Transformation in the United States F Richard E. Anderson, MD, FACP, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Doctors Company The insidious influence of defensive medicine affects medical decision-making at virtually every level of care. Use of defensive medicine is, at once, both indefensible and entirely understandable. Until we confront and resolve the issues it presents, American healthcare will not be able to fulfill its potential, as a cost-effective and efficient system of quality care. 1:30 2:45 p.m. Concurrent Session II Simulation Is Safety: Perspectives from Aerospace, Human Factors, and Healthcare F Cathy M. Treen, Vice President, IU Health Risk Retention Group, Inc. F Louis P. Halamek, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, Stanford University F Michael R. Sterling, SGT, Inc. Training Quality and Standards Group Spaceflight Training Management Office, Flight Operations Directorate NASA/JSC F Luke Sato, MD, Senior Vice President, Chief Medical Officer, CRICO The use of simulation as a learning technique is becoming increasingly popular in healthcare. Unfortunately, most of the current efforts in healthcare simulation are targeted to relatively inexperienced professionals (like students and residents) and are not linked to real-world outcomes. This panel brings together experts who have extensive experience in healthcare, human factors engineering, and the aerospace industry to consider what simulation is, what it can accomplish, and how best to develop and make the best use of a simulation-based learning and assessment program that can directly addresses the areas of known risk for your institution. Panelists will also relate how simulation can be used to re-create near-misses and adverse events, for subsequent detailed root cause analysis. 1:30 2:45 p.m. Concurrent Session II Pompeian Ballroom/Promenade Level Hard Lessons Learned with Systemic Risk: Defense and Plaintiff Counsel Perspectives F Robert M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer, Medical Assurance Company of Mississippi 5
6 F Thomas J. Donnelly, Esq., Donnelly Nelson Depolo & Murray F Scott J. Eldredge, Esq., Burg Simpson This session will address the issue of systemic risk, and the sorts of strategies and new theories of liability that plaintiff s attorneys may use to prevail in these cases. Plaintiff s counsel may attempt to insert new elements in the case beyond the mere facts in evidence, and deploy the Reptilian Theory in their attempt to persuade juries. The presenters will explain how attendees can best counter these strategies, and also what they can do to mitigate the frequency of these kinds of claims, which can cause major financial damage to providers and healthcare systems, in the future. They will also hear about what a company s claims staff may expect from the defense attorneys who are working on systemic risk claims. 2:45 3:15 p.m. Refreshment Break in Exhibit Area 3:15 4:30 p.m. Concurrent Session III Patient Safety Organizations: Today s Landscape and Tomorrow s Implications F Joseph S. Wilson, MD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, MAG Mutual Insurance Company F Scott D. Geromette, Esq., Partner, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP F Cathy Pusey, RN, Manager, Clinical Analysis, ECRI Institute PSO F D. Scott Jones, CHC, Senior Vice President, Risk Management and Healthcare Compliance, Healthcare Providers Insurance Exchange Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) provide a vehicle for accelerating improvements in patient safety that, in turn, can decrease adverse events and thus claims and suits. They do so by allowing secure sharing and aggregation of information on serious safety events and near misses, and the responses to them, under federal guarantees of privilege so long as they are retained within a defined Patient Safety Evaluation System (PSES). These guarantees are intended to preempt most state exceptions to such privilege. Nevertheless, we are seeing challenges to PSO rules from plaintiffs attorneys, and other parties, in multiple venues. There also are complex federal rules for developing an institutional PSES and the privileged Patient Safety Work Products (PSWP) within them that, if violated, can void that privilege. The speakers in this session will address some of the complexities of PSOs, PSESs, and PSWP s and other aspects of the federal rules that are relatively unknown. They will, in addition, discuss how PSOs can contribute substantially to patient safety, when properly managed, and will illustrate these contributions with specific examples. 3:15 4:30 p.m. Concurrent Session III Pompeian Ballroom/Promenade Level They Just Won t Quit: Attacks on Civil Justice Reform F W. Stancil Starnes, JD, Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, ProAssurance Corporation F Katherine H. Crocker, Esq. F Jim DeBoo, Principal, DeBoo Communications F Christine Tomkins, MD, Chief Executive, The Medical Defence Union Experts with personal experience in advocating for civil justice reform and protecting existing reforms will discuss the attacks on both current and proposed medical liability reform laws. They will relate the strategies that MPL carriers need to deploy to defeat these attacks. A speaker from the U.K. will discuss the push for litigation reform in that country and the challenges faced internationally in promoting fairness and equity in medical liability jurisprudence. Other presenters will focus on challenges in the U.S., where the personal injury bar has been relentless in its campaign to overturn state tort reforms, even in instances where these reforms have been considered settled law. This session also will feature specific lessons learned from California s Proposition 46 debate, how opponents used unrelated issues in trying to undermine the nearly 40-year-old MICRA law, and how the 24/7 news cycle and social media played a major role in both the defense of, and opposition to, MICRA. 4:30 6:00 p.m. Platinum Sponsor Reception Palace Ballroom Foyer/Emperors Level Registered Attendees and Paid Guests Welcome 6
7 Friday, May 15, :00 9:00 a.m. Silver Sponsor Breakfast in Exhibit Area Florentine Ballroom/Emperors Level Registered Attendees and Paid Guests Welcome 8:00 9:00 a.m. Annual Meeting of Members F Gloria H. Everett, Chair, PIAA F Brian K. Atchinson, President & CEO, PIAA This session is the annual business meeting of the PIAA membership. It includes the following agenda items: the election of directors; reports from the Chair, President, and Treasurer; any bylaws modifications deemed necessary and any other business that needs to come before the PIAA membership; and a discussion of the PIAA s governance and business activities. All PIAA members are encouraged to attend. 9:00 9:15 a.m. PIAA Award of Excellence in Public Policy and Advocacy 2015 PIAA Award of Excellence in Public Policy and Advocacy Dustin Corcoran Chief Executive Officer, California Medical Association Jim DeBoo Principal, DeBoo Communications Lisa Maas Executive Director, Californians Allied for Patient Protection 9:15 10:15 a.m. General Session MPL Insurance Industry Performance: What s the Latest? F Chad C. Karls, FCAS, MAAA, Principal & Consulting Actuary, Milliman, Inc. Mr. Karls will brief attendees on the essential historical, and current, financial results of the MPL industry, highlighting the primary drivers behind the industry s improved capital position. He will also comment on the several factors now in play that may well culminate in an emerging hard market. Armed with a better understanding of the underlying drivers of the industry s current financial condition, attendees will be aware of the particular parameters they should be watching closely in anticipation of the eventual hardening market. 10:15 10:45 a.m. Refreshment Break in Exhibit Area 10:45 a.m. Noon General Session Big Data s Big Impact on Healthcare and the MPL Industry F Michelle Hoppes, RN, AHRMQR, DFASHRM, President, Michigan Professional Insurance Exchange F Raju Bohra, Executive Vice President, Willis Re Analytics F Mark E. Dorn, President & CEO, DAVID Corporation F David P. Duden, Director, Deloitte Consulting F Chad C. Karls, FCAS, MAAA, Principal & Consulting Actuary, Milliman, Inc. There is a data revolution occurring and Big Data is a hot topic. Many companies consider data generation and collection as mission critical. Industries are recognizing the need to convert data into knowledge and knowledge into intelligence. In this session, attendees will learn about the analytics imperative, the process for real time operational intelligence to drive key performance indicators, and methods to predict and monitor outcomes and results. There will be a focus on new sources of data for making decisions in underwriting, rating, and pricing that may expand the strategic capacity of liability companies. Learning how to selectively identify and apply this data accurately for risk control and underwriting can have a positive impact on an MPL program s profitability. Big data can also be combined with scoring algorithms and other data analytic tools, to further advance the science of underwriting and risk management. The speakers will also discuss the potential uses of predictive exposure data and how using data coding taxonomies can leverage the value of big data. Noon 2:00 p.m. Gold Sponsor Luncheon Here Come the Millennials: Physicians, Patients, and Presumptions F Scott Hess, Senior Vice President, Human Intelligence, Spark Millennials comprise the biggest living generation, some 80 million strong. Learn more about what to expect Scott Hess from them and how to connect with them as colleagues and clients from someone who s spent the past 15 years studying them. Noted Millennial expert Scott Hess will take us inside their minds and hearts, to explore their attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors, and explain why they matter. 2:00 p.m. Adjourn 7

Spain crashed out of the London Olympics after they suffered a shock 0-1 defeat at the hands of Honduras.
The Spanish outfit have lost two games from as many played, failing to qualify for the next stage with one more group match remaining. Jerry Bengtson scored a seventh-minute header, the Honduran striker's third goal in two games, to seal the Spaniards' fate Sunday, Xinhua reports.
In an ill-tempered encounter, Iker Muniain hit the post and substitute Rodrigo the bar amid a second-half Spanish onslaught, but the Central American side battled heroically to keep Luis Milla's star-studded side at bay.
Great Britain moved within a point of qualifying for the last eight after they beat United Arab Emirates 3-1.
Two second-half goals from substitutes Scott Sinclair and Daniel Sturridge proved crucial after captain Ryan Giggs had opened the scoring for the host nation early on.
Brazil came from behind to beat Belarus 3-1 at Old Trafford thanks to a stunning second half free-kick and last-minute assist from Neymar.
Ten-man Senegal blew Group A wide open with a shock 2-0 win over highly-fancied Uruguay at Wembley.
Egypt's hopes of qualifying for the last eight took a blow as they drew 1-1 with New Zealand at Old Trafford after wasting several chances.
Giovani dos Santos' two-goal cameo from off the bench gave Mexico a 2-0 win over Gabon and sent El Tri top of Group B.
Kim Bo-Kyung was South Korea's hero with a second-half winner as they beat Switzerland 2-1 in their Group B encounter at the City of Coventry Stadium.
Striker Kensuke Nagai fired Japan to the brink of the quarter-finals with a late winner against Morocco. The Grampus Eight frontman struck with an instinctive lob six minutes from time to settle a tight Group D encounter with a 1-0 victory.

|Daniel Dougherty and his two sons
14 years after his boys died in a house fire, Daniel Dougherty was sent to death row for their murder. Now, he's back in court with a new try for freedom.
On a summer night in 1985, flames swept through Daniel Dougherty's red-brick rowhouse in Philadelphia, killing his young sons who slept upstairs.
The 25-year-old mechanic told police he had been sleeping on a sofa in the living room when he woke just before 4 a.m. and saw his curtains on fire. He bolted outside and grabbed a neighbor's garden hose, ready to douse the blaze and rescue his sons, Daniel, 4, and John, 3, who shared a bed on the 2nd floor.
But it was too late. Dougherty tried breaking a window and climbing a ladder to reach the children but the smoke and flames blew him back. When authorities arrived, the bulky 6-foot-4 Dougherty, the son of a late policeman, was frantic.
To authorities, the hard-drinking repairman, who got into a fight with both his girlfriend and ex-wife that night and skipped an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, was the prime suspect. One officer claimed he physically blocked Dougherty from charging into the burning home. When the cop asked for Dougherty's name, he allegedly replied, "My name is mud and I should die for what I did."
The children died from smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning, a medical examiner later concluded.
An hour after the inferno that took his children's lives, Dougherty was being interviewed by homicide detectives. "I ain't got nothing to remain silent about," Dougherty said as he waived his Miranda rights. Lacking evidence to charge Dougherty, police released him, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported in 2014.
But 14 years later, Dougherty would be charged with the murder of his sons, after his estranged 2nd wife - with whom he was in a custody battle for a child born after the boys died - called police and claimed he confessed to the alleged crime.
Dougherty was convicted in 2000 and put on death row - a sentence that was later vacated after prosecutors agreed Dougherty didn't have effective counsel. The grieving dad has always maintained his innocence. Now, with the help of arson experts on a mission to debunk mythical theories that are still employed by authorities, Dougherty has the chance to prove it.
A new trial for the 56-year-old began Monday in Philadelphia - 2 years after an appellate court found that Dougherty's lawyer failed to challenge the state's scientific evidence claiming the fire was arson, the Inquirer reported.
Had the jury heard and believed a fire science expert at the time, it "would have had reasonable doubt about [Dougherty's] guilt and would have been compelled to acquit him," the court wrote in its decision in 2014, according to the Inquirer.
At the heart of the case is flawed and disproved forensics used to seal Dougherty's conviction--techniques that are believed to have led to wrongful convictions, and some executions, across the country.
"The tragedy of losing your child in a fire, then being accused and convicted of intentionally setting that fire ... I can't even imagine the mental torture of that," Marissa Boyers Bluestine, legal director of the Pennsylvania Innocence Project, told The Daily Beast.
"The problem is there's no evidence that he's guilty. Zero," Bluestine added. "The evidence came from the fire marshal who was talking about scientific techniques that have been disproven, having no reliability whatsoever.
"You have someone who's not just convicted, but on death row for that. If it happens to him it quite literally could happen to anybody."
In some cases, advances in fire science is helping some wrongly convicted prisoners earn their freedom. In 2014, a South Korean-born man's arson-murder conviction was overturned after he spent 24 years behind bars.
Han Tak Lee, now 81, was accused of killing his 20-year-old daughter in a fire in 1989 but always said the blaze was an accident. A judge concluded his conviction was based on since-discredited arson science.
For other inmates, the reexamination came too late.
In 2004, Texas officials executed Cameron Todd Willingham - accused of setting a blaze that killed his 3 young daughters in their Corsicana home 13 years before, and whose tragic end spawned a New Yorker investigation [Trial by Fire, by David Grann -- a must-read. DPN]. Like Dougherty's case, Texas prosecutors relied on outdated arson theories and testimony from a jailhouse snitch, who later recanted.
5 years after Willingham's death, renowned fire expert Craig Beyler concluded the Texas fire marshal had "limited understanding" of arson science and that his findings "are nothing more than a collection of personal beliefs that have nothing to do with science-based fire investigation."
Experts fighting for Dougherty are expressing similar sentiments. Renowned arson investigator John Lentini, who is expected to testify at the new trial, has said the original probe was so flawed the cause of the blaze should have been ruled "undetermined."
Philadelphia Assistant Fire Marshal John Quinn concluded the fire had 3 points of origin inside the house, based on burn marks, and therefore was intentional - information Dougherty's attorney never challenged.
Quinn declared the blaze started in three places: a loveseat, a sofa, and a spot beneath a dining-room table. He also testified that Dougherty's claims that he tried to save the kids weren't believable, as his body showed no exposure to flames or smoke, the Inquirer reported.
It took the jury only 3 hours to find Dougherty guilty of murder in 2000, and another 3 1/2 hours to sentence him to death, the Inquirer reported.
Dougherty sobbed on the witness stand as he denied igniting the blaze that killed his children. "They were my life," he cried, adding that he took them on a motorcycle ride that day, changed their clothes, and flipped their mattress that night.
When an assistant district attorney asked Dougherty why he immediately darted from the house instead of upstairs, Dougherty answered, "Everyone makes mistakes. I made a big one."
Lentini and other experts who've reviewed Dougherty's case say the 3 burning spots are likely the result of "flashover," a naturally occurring phenomenon where rising heat collects at the ceiling until the temperature reaches 1,100 degrees and the room combusts. Flashovers can create burn marks such as those seen in Dougherty's home.
"Unfortunately, it is not possible given the level of destruction and documentation, to determine where exactly this fire started or how it started," Lentini wrote in a post-conviction report. "What I can state with certainty is that the evidence does not support a determination of 3 points of origin, which was the sole basis for Lt. Quinn's determination that the fire was intentionally set.
"Lt. Quinn's conclusion that the fire was intentionally set has no scientific basis, then or now," Lentini said in a report submitted to the court.
This didn't stop the law enforcement of Philadelphia from presenting what experts call junk science. "You're talking about the 5th-largest city in the country. This isn't backwater," Bluestine told The Daily Beast. "It's supposed to be among the most sophisticated law enforcement departments. Especially when you're talking about a capital case, there's no excuse."
Philadelphia authorities have stood by Dougherty's conviction.
During the trial's opening arguments on Tuesday, assistant district attorney Jude Conroy said evidence would show Dougherty was guilty, beyond all doubt, the Inquirer reported.
Conroy told jurors Dougherty was drunk, angry, and ended up alone in the house after an argument with his live-in girlfriend and the boys' mother. Then the prosecutor reinforced fire marshal Quinn's findings, telling the court about "an open flame to the couch, to the loveseat, to items under the table."
Dougherty's attorney, David Fryman, questioned why cops didn't charge Dougherty until 14 years after the fire, if authorities were certain of his guilt, according to the Inquirer.
Fryman told jurors investigators failed even to snap a photo of the stove, to show whether the knobs were in an on or off position, the Inquirer reported. "The commonwealth claim that this fire was intentionally set doesn't have any validity," Fryman said.
Bluestine, of the Innocence Project, said that by the time Dougherty's trial began, Philadelphia authorities should have been trained in scientific standards laid bare by the National Fire Protection Association. The council became concerned about the validity of fire investigations in 1985 and published its 1st guide 7 years later, Lentini says in a paper.
"The myths are slowly dying out ... but there are still practitioners who use them today, with disastrous consequences," Lentini wrote.
Dougherty's murder and arson charges came in 1999, well after the fire, when his estranged 2nd wife, Adrienne Sussman, told police he confessed to sparking the inferno. At the time the charges were made, Sussman was in a custody battle with Dougherty over their son, Stephen.
Philadelphia prosecutors wasted no time in making Dougherty a villain. They claimed he set the fire in vengeance against two women who wronged him: the girlfriend with whom he lived and the mother of his boys, from whom he was separated. Witnesses labeled him a drinker, and said he was possessive toward women and called his wife names, the Inquirer reported.
While Sussman never testified at Dougherty's 2000 trial, the prosecution presented testimony from 2 jailhouse informants - in prison on multiple convictions and charges and promised reduced sentences by prosecutors - who said Dougherty confessed to them while in custody, the Inquirer reported.
Stephen Dougherty, now 24, told The Daily Beast he speaks with his father every day and said he just wants to come home. Stephen grew up without both parents, as his mother, who struggled with drug addiction, passed away in 2005.
Because of his mom's drug use, he said, he spent weekends and weekdays with his dad, who took him off-roading in his truck and taught him to play basketball and baseball. His father was just a "regular, average ... hard-working man," he said.
The younger Dougherty said that one day, he hopes to rebuild cars and live in a house with his father.
"I know my dad's not guilty," Dougherty said in a phone interview. "He's the farthest thing from a bad guy. He loved life, and it was taken away from him."
"My dad's not a monster," Dougherty added. "He's not the man that the DA is trying to make him out to be ... fire is unpredictable, and it can take anybody's life."

Is it possible to straighten my nose from inside and outside after a failed septum surgery i did in 2012? (photo)
in 2012 Ive had a septum surgery in order to straighten and it failed the surgeon that did the surgery told me that i cant do another nose surgery after this one and i wanted to ask you why he said that? I found DR that specializes in closed nose surgeries technique and she said cartilage is not needed to fix the nose septum and it shape. Is it possible to straighten such nose from inside and outside that shown in the picture without more cartilage (and if it is - in what ways?) ?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
Septoplasty primarily has to do with the inside of the nose. You can still straighten the outside of the nose without using cartilage but it really depends on your exam. The photo suggests that this would be possible but a better exam in person would give you a better idea of what it would entail. In your case, probably resetting the nasal bones along with repeating the septoplasty, could possibly help. Depending on the curvature of the miiddle part of your nose, cartilage maybe required here but difficult to tell from the photo. If you don't have enough cartilage remaining in the septum (we would check it first), then we may have to use cartilage from the ear to repair this portion.
