Get medical treatment and surgery in India.Thats the best method.General Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as all surgery is not covered by insurance.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your kids hernia surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

my cousin got her sons septal defect surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare in India and is all praise for this company. She is more than very happy with the results.her child is absolutely normal and has no cyanotic episodes,and is as active as any other kid of his age now she just paid 30% of the amount she was quoted in USA.this amount included her travel and stay cost also.i stongly recommend you to talk to this company as they can be of great help to you in future concerning diaphgramatic hernia surgery,because i have seen the Indian hospitals and am very sure of the quality healthcare available their.hope this helps.

How can you learn diaphragmatic breathing?


Put your hand on your belly button.
You can put one hand on your upper chest.
Breathe in.
Concentrate on your breath. Is your belly button moving, or is it your chest?
If it's your chest (and it likely is), then concentrate on making the hand over your belly button move.
Then concentrate on making the hand over your belly button move instead of the hand on your upper chest.
It helps me to say "breathe" slowly as I do this.  (+ info)

Is there Financial help for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) parents & babies?


If so where?
----------

Have you tried medicaid? They pay 3 months before you get it and current and future medical bills.

You should also apply for SSI. They can help with $$ until the baby is better. You get a monthly check based on your income. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/11000.html

If you don't qualify there are foundations that can help you with your medical bills.

I'm not sure if these organizations offer $$ but they may help you find a way.

can a diaphragmatic hernia be caused by trauma while in the womb?


As a fetus is growing in its mother's uterus before birth, different organ systems are developing and maturing ... the diaphragm forms between the 7th and 10th week of pregnancy .... the esophagus (the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach), the stomach, and the intestines are also developing at this time ...

In this case, normal development of the diaphragm and the digestive tract does not occur.

Diaphragmatic hernia is a multifactorial condition ... both genetic and environmental, are involved .... it is thought that multiple genes from both parents, as well as a number of environmental factors that we do not yet fully understand, contribute to diaphragmatic hernia .... in cases where it is the only health problem in a baby, the chance for diaphragmatic hernia to happen again in a future pregnancy 2 in 100 chances (2%) ...... this means that there is a 98 percent chance that it would not be seen in a future pregnancy.  (+ info)

"Fat" tai chi people? Does diaphragmatic breathing cause stomach to grow?


A number of tai chi practitioners I know are incredibly skilled and strong and even though they look slim in their faces and necks, their stomachs are significantly large. And my grandfather who sung opera for decades is in great shape apart from his stomach which has a largeness that he explains as diaphragmatic development instead of fat.

Is there anything to this? Do people who do years of diaphragmatic breathing or qigong sometimes develop large stomachs even when they eat light and exercise regularly?
----------

No, but it will expand your lungs. The big belly is the result of overeating regardless of what people tell you. Fat is fat, not muscle.  (+ info)
