Hi Margaret,

I wasn't familiar with von willebrand's disorder so I looked it up. My
honest answer is that I don't know but I think it would definately be worth
a try. In general CST helps the body create and maintain a healthy space
for the nervous system to exist in which is a great thing for all people.
Will it help your son create the clotting factor his body needs? I don't
know. Most hard core scientists will say that it is impossible for the body
to create something that it is missing...I personally don't agree with them.
I think our bodies are pretty incredible and given the right circumstances
can do just about anything. What may happen is that your son's body may be
helped in dealing with the bleeding, allowing it to happen less frequently
and for shorter periods of time.

I know this is a short answer. I hope it helps. Please ask any other
questions and we wil do our best to answer. I would also recomend
contacting The Upledger Institute. They can be reached at 1 561 622 4706.
They have a great deal of experience with all sorts of conditions and may be
able to more fully answer your question and refer you to someone in your
area if you decide to go this route.

I wish you good luck.

David Tomlinson
