Before the treatments, I was averaging 6 grand mal seizures a week.

My seizures were initially reduced to 2 grand mal seizures a week, and as of now, I have been seizure free for over 10 years, without any anti-convulsant medications.

“This shows that the heart can indeed repair itself if given the opportunity,” said Dr. Douglas Zipes, a past president of the American College of Cardiology.

CranioSacral Therapy Works for Plagiocephaly

Plagiocephaly, or flat head syndrome, is a deformation of the head due to an infant’s skull being flattened as a result of pressure from outside forces.

Because CST promotes optimal shape, size, and movement of the plates of the skull it is very effective in the treatment of plagiocephaly.

One woman’s experience with CranioSacral Therapy.

Speaking about her CranioSacral sessions, Diana says,

It was in the middle of one of Wes’s sessions that fluidity of thought returned to me. On another breakthrough day, after an hour’s session, my night vision suddenly improved and I could drive during darkness again! And Wes also finished what my physical therapist had started. He got my right arm to extend above my head—something a doctor initially told me I would never regain.

While CranioSacral Therapy is a little different than ” a rhythmic scalp massage and gentle pulling of the hair,”  I can see where it might feel like that at times. But this is a great story about how CranioSacral can help get to the root of the issue and help support the body’s release so it can move in the direction of health and balance.

The first and most obvious difference between naturopathic physicians and classically-trained western doctors is that western doctors are primarily experts in disease, whereas naturopathic physicians are experts in health and wellness. So if you want to go to someone who knows everything that there is to know about disease and disease symptoms, it’s an excellent idea to go visit a conventionally-trained physician. However, if you are interested in knowing how to be healthy and you want to be given a plan that will assist you in your own efforts to become healthy, you need to visit someone who understands the causes of health. Western doctors understand the causes of disease; naturopathic doctors understand the causes of health.

CranioSacral Therapy in the Midwifery Model of Care

Here is a post I made recently regarding CST and Obstetrics (OB) at BodyworkOnline.com

Here are some clinical discoveries of the application of CST to OB

* We have been able to use CST instead of Pitocin to both start and/or augment labor
*Adequate progress for the ACTIVE phase of the First stage of labor (4.10cm dilation) is 1.0cm per hour – while our numbers are still small, none of our patients have shown any evidence of prolonged labor
*Infants born to those mothers who have received epidurals have shown non-negative effects of the epidurals
*While having a baby quickly may imply more efficiency, our average second stage (time pushing) is less than without CST. However, speed is not a necessarily sought after goal. Optimizing whatever time it takes IS the goal
*None of the babies born have required resuscitative efforts
*Common phrases used by mothers/fathers after the first few weeks include: “good babies; alert; not fussy; at peace; calm … ”
*Mothers report recovering more quickly and that the adjustment to motherhood is not difficult/as difficult (compared to their other children)
*Breastfeeding seems more easily accomplished and parents seem to be enjoying their children more
*Applying CST to the first labor and delivery appears to help mom through subsequent labors and deliveries (positive use of cellular memory?)

The doctor who did the initial research with this is an ob/gyn on a military base. He is trained in CST and has a CranioSacral Therapist working with him in his practice. He has a lot of documentation from all the printouts during labor and delivery of the monitors before, during, and after application of CST; and shows the effects of the work on mom and baby.

It’s pretty amazing to hear them talk about their work.

Newborns and CranioSacral Therapy – Part II

As we move deeper into fall and closer to winter we approach the holiday season and cold and flu season. During this time we are more often indoors and spend more time visiting friends/relatives, attending parties and shopping. And its a time when we share a lot of germs.

The number of cold and flu infections greatly increases in late fall and through winter. So, it is important to do what you can to prevent getting an infection and further spreading germs.

When we sneeze or cough we produce droplets that can be propelled 3-4 feet away from us. It is said that a single sneeze can produce about 40,000 of these droplets. These droplets contain microbes that can live outside the body for up to two hours or more. This could be on a doorknob, faucet, keyboard, phones and many other surfaces. If you touch any of these surfaces and then touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, you greatly increase your risk of getting sick.

The absolute best and easiest way to reduce your risk and help prevent spreading germs is hand washing.

You don’t even need special antibacterial soap. Studies show that proper hand washing with regular soap is just as effective as using antibacterial soap. The problem is most people do not wash their hands properly. You’re probably thinking, “Is there a WRONG way to wash my hands? I wet them, lather up, and rinse. It’s easy.”

It is easy! But the part most people are not aware of is that to be effective you need to thoroughly and vigorously lather/scrub/rub (whatever you call it) your hands for at least 15 seconds. You can time yourself by singing the Alphabet Song or the Jeopardy theme song. Both of these are around 15 seconds, as long as you don’t speed sing through them.

Of course there are other great ways to help prevent getting a cold/flu. I’ll discuss those in future blogs. But for now, remember:

• Wash your hands often and well.
• Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough
• Try to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
