Lolite, thank you so much for your post - it helps when I don't have to repeat myself.

Annabella, I don't dare give you an exact amount, but I can tell you this. I have used anywhere from 4 or 5 capsules 3 times per day to 10 capsules every hour, depending on the severity of the problem.

In your case, you are not trying to mend something that is broken or finish building something that is not complete - you are trying to get the body to restructure itself. In a case like this, I would focus on optimal nutrition, exercises which will strengthen the muscles which, in turn, will help to support the structure of the body, the herbs to give the body the building blocks it needs, and then lots of love and encouragement to bring peace to her soul and help to build her self-esteem. Restructuring something that has already formed incorrectly is one of the biggest challenges you can take on. However, if this malformation was due to not having the right nutrition at the right moment in time (which is quite often the case), then her body still carries the blue-print for the correct structure. Given the right amount of nutrition, exercise, and fresh air, it is possible for the body to, at least, partially correct itself. If her problem is severe, she may never have a perfectly straight spine, but she can definately improve it and her body may make other adjustments which may not be considered 'normal', but will work for her and help her function better than she is now. If she were my daughter, I would avoid surgery at all costs.

I'm certainly not trying to discourage you (I love success stories) but I want you to approach it realistically. I have a 5 year-old daughter who was born with paralysis to the right side of her face. Although she has greatly improved since birth - there is still some paralysis. Last month I lost an 8 month-old daughter who had severe defects to several internal organs, including her heart. Recently, a cardiologist told me it was a miracle she lived at all and to thrive the way she did was unheard of. We shared an incredible 7 month journey together, but, in the end, I had to realize I am not God and could not reconstruct everything her birth mother damaged with alcohol and drugs.

The point I'm trying to make is: Do everything you can and let her body decide how it is going to deal with this. Don't go into it with preconceived ideas or feel like it has to turn out the way YOU think it should. If you give her and her body everything it needs to correct itself, it may do it differently than you expect, but in the end, it will be better.
