Kinesiology: Treating The Body Through Muscular Biofeedback
by Ann McFerron
Did you know that your body is an energy system? You actually have
measurable current running through your body all the time. Energy
medicine, a part of the holistic health care system, works to release any
blockages in your body’s energy system. This balances the system, and
allows the body to function the way it was designed to.
The world of holistic health care, sometimes known as complementary and
alternative health care, is getting bigger and bigger, and can be somewhat
confusing. In Western medicine, if you don’t feel well, you go to a
general practitioner. The general practitioner then sends you on to see a
specialist based on what part of the body has the problem. Doctors
specialize, breaking the body down into the smallest pieces, and know more
and more about less and less. This is a reductionism idea.

Traditional
Treatments for Back Pain... Which Ones Work and Which Ones Don’t?
by Jesse Cannone
When
Dorothy followed the yellow brick road, she was told to do so by those who
wanted her to get where she wanted go. Well as humans when we blindly
follow recommendations even by individuals who have good intentions, it
may not always be your best option. So I’m preparing this article to
compare and contrast what are known as traditional treatments vs.
complementary or alternative treatments for back pain. Remember there is
rarely only one reason for your back pain and almost never one silver
bullet fix… you may need to try several approaches till you find what
works for you.

"The
Soul Swims in the CSF"
The Metaphysical Physiology of the Cerebrospinal Fluid
by Dr. Don Glassey
The above quote is attributed to Dr.
Randolph Stone, founder of Polarity Therapy, who studied for many years
with one of India's spiritual Masters. His brilliant mind and keen
intellect enabled him to intuit the above hypothesis. In fact, the brain
and spinal cord, which contain the largest volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
in the body, do literally "swim", or float, in CSF. Both are
completely immersed in this liquid environment. Indian Masters assert that
the brain and spine (spinal cord) are the altars of God in man. They also
state that we worship God in the temple of the spine.
These assertions lend further credibility,
from a metaphysical perspective that the soul of man resides in and around
the brain and spinal cord. The soul has been described as an
individualized ray of God's consciousness, which temporarily identifies
with the mind/body. The soul can also be depicted as a personified portion
of God resident in each human being. Although Dr. Stone passed on before
the discovery of neuropeptides in the mid-nineteen eighties, he may have
connected these informational substances with his statement that "the
Soul swims in the CSF" had he been alive when neurolpeptides where
discovered.

Life Energy and Healing:
"The Nerve, Meridian
and Chakra Systems and the CSF Connection"
by Dr. Don Glassey
Life energy, in the form of cerebrospinal
fluid, flows within, through and around the body over three inter-related
and interconnected energy systems that interface with each other. The
three energy systems are, from a gross to a subtler and more refined
level, the nervous, the meridian, and the chakra systems.
In the nervous system, cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) flows within and around the brain and spinal cord (central nervous
system) within a three layered "saran wrap" like covering called
the meninges. It has been suggested that CSF also flows in the periphery
of the body within the neuroglial connective tissue transportation system
and communication network. Therefore, rather than ending at a cavity-like
cul-de-sac at the place where the peripheral nerves exit the spinal cord (intervertebral
foramen), the CSF would then circulate throughout the entire body.

Chiropractic
In A Nutshell
Chiropractic is one of the most widely
practiced alternative healing techniques in the United States. It is based
on the concept that the nervous system is the center of human health, and
that an unbalanced spinal column is the cause of many ailments.
Chiropractors believe that the human body seeks homeostasis (balance) and
has an uncanny ability to heal itself. By assisting the body through
manipulation of joints, muscles and bones—and most commonly the spine—Chiropractors
restore balance by improving nerve impulse flow within the nervous system.

The "CSFT" Vitalistic Healing
Model
by Dr. Don Glassey
The principle of vitalism is based on the
holistic concept that the human body is greater than the sum of its parts.
Its basic assumption is that there is an intelligent force, which creates
and sustains all living organisms. This inherent vital principle is
distinct from all internal physical and chemical forces.
Vitalism assumes that life is
self-determining and self-evolving. The basic principle of vitalism is
that is an inherent or in-born intelligence within the body, which
animates, motivates, heals, coordinates and inspires living beings. This
Wisdom Within guides and directs the life of each individual on his or her
path of healing.
