Thanks, Adrian.

Does this only apply to watches with batteries?

What about other types of jewelry that cause problems with energy
fields?

Can they be desensitized in any way or do you just have to tell the
patient not to wear them anymore?

Do you usually become aware of these by finding an electromagnetic
allergy?

The two times that this issue has come up for me were both from
priority at master point taking me to electromagnetic allergy.  Will
passing any type of jewelry across the midline tell you if there is a
problem?  Do you routinely check all the metal and jewelry that a
patient wears and if so, how?

Just trying to get all of this straight.  Thanks again.

Hi,

Would someone more fully explain the concept of "spinning down"
jewelry.  Dr. Dowty does it on the 2000 CPK videos, but there is not a
lot of explanation.  Could someone explain how you would become aware
of the need for this procedure?  How you would test for it?  What is
the step-by-step procedure for actually spinning down something?  Is
the item them safe for the patient to wear immediately?

I have attempted to copy what Dr. Dowty did on the videos a couple of
times, but I was unsure if I was doing it correctly and I did not
really know how to explain what I was attempting to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adrian,
I have a lot of these too- first thing I check and usually find is a
medial elbow fixation/subluxation. Test for that is thumb and little
finger together and patient tries to hold together. Usually they
can't make the adjustment and retest -usually goes strong if you
fixed it.
Next check for cervical discs and finally check the actual wrist for
carpels.
Nutritionally check for B6 for pain.
Sometimes there is an anterior T-1 which can cause most of this.
Hope this helps

Greetings Doctors,

I've been seeing lots of carpal tunnel cases lately. I've been
working all the obvious things: Structural bone, muscle, ligament,
fixation, vascular, neuritis, etc. Any thoughts about the non-obvious
things to check? Also, is anyone familiar with the posture pump
cervical restoration device in these cases?

Thanks for your input,

Citizens for Health Urges the FDA to Fulfill its Responsibility and Review its Approval of Splenda

Tell the FDA they can't ignore over 18,000 informed consumers! DEMAND THE TRUTH NOW!

Some background:

The response to our Citizen Petition has been tremendous:

• Over 18,000 letters have been sent to the FDA and to members of Congress calling on the FDA to review its approval of the synthetic chemical substance, sucralose, due to health concerns, and to immediately schedule a Public Hearing.
• The pressure on the FDA is increasing as Citizens for Health supporters continue sending letters and emails and making their voices heard!

In addition, on July 26th Citizens for Health Board Chair Jim Turner made an appearance on Week in Review, a weekly television show about public affairs issues facing Californians. Jim and John Grauerholz discussed the potential dangers of consuming sucralose and called attention to our Citizen Petition, bringing news of this important issue to thousands of concerned citizens in California. You can see Jim in action through a podcast available here.

However, even after such a strong public outcry, the FDA has yet to act or to post any of your comments on its website.

Stand up with Citizens for Health and against an FDA whose inaction continues to put millions of consumers at risk from the consumption of a barely-tested synthetic sweetener. TAKE ACTION NOW!

Please tune in to support Jim and Citizens for Health!

Here are the facts you will want to tell the FDA (or you may use the form letter provided through the link above):
*FDA, your review of sucralose was not rigorous and the Agency’s approval of this synthetic sweetener should be revoked.
*FDA, you have no truly reliable way to track adverse health events related to Splenda.
*FDA, you should ask the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to launch an investigation into your own approval of sucralose.
*FDA, the science provided to your Agency revealed several serious concerns about the product.
*Splenda’s advertising slogan “Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar” has led consumers into believing sucralose is natural.
*FDA, you should initiate a full-scale public-health investigation in and around McIntosh, Alabama, where Splenda is manufactured.
*FDA, you should order the marketers of Splenda to immediately remove the “Suitable for people with diabetes” slogan from its packaging and marketing materials.
*FDA, you should also order that all sucralose- and Splenda-containing products bear a galactosemia warning.

Have you, or has someone you know, experienced negative health effects from the use of Splenda? If so, we need to hear from you. Please email us at info@....

We also strongly urge you to report any adverse events, including the one you experienced, to the FDA via their MedWatch reporting system. Go to MedWatch now to make your voice heard!

The FDA made a huge mistake when they approved Aspartame, and it has taken fifteen years for consumers to learn the truth - we can't allow them to make the same mistake again!

DEMAND THE TRUTH!

Thanks for taking action,

The Citizens for Health Team

I agree with him in many respects but you need to alos check for
vaccines which usually start this off - then go to the neuro

Hi All,

Thought I'd pass this one along. Good reading and a great review of
Cat I/Cat II biomechanics.

http://www.chiroweb.com/columnist/heller/

--Adrian Larsen, DC

Hello to all my CPK friends. I am going to be traveling to treat
patients in the Los Angeles area approximately once a month.   I
wanted to let everyone know about my availability in that area in case
there are any patients who have family, friends, etc in that area and
would like to see someone who uses CPK. To my knowledge, there are no
other docs in the whole state who use CPK,(is that right Dr D?).

I have asked that the CPK map on the website be updated to reflect my
CA location and local contact information.  I will be working out of
an office in the La Crescenta/Glendale area which is about 20-30
minutes east and north of LA.  My current plan is to be there once or
twice a month to treat.  Patients can call either my Plano number or
California number to determine availability.  Plano- 972-673-0991,
California- 818-957-7035

I am very excited about being able to share CPK in California.
Ann

Jeff,

That is interesting.  I learned this mode from an allergy
desensitization technique, but I am not sure where it came from
originally.  I thought it might be one of Beardall's modes.  I don't
have a resource to look those up unfortunately.

From my experience, not from being tested, but just subjectively, I
have not noticed any kind of "draining" effect when using the mode.
From the patient's viewpoint subjectively, I am not sure if I have
recognized a difference in the outcomes when using the mode and when
processing without it.

I would be interested to hear if anyone else tries it to see if:

1) They are able to continue to work on a patient after they are
saturated

2) They are able to continue to go deeper in a causal chain after
using the mode

and

3) If you compare a CPK exam of the patient without the mode and then
pause lock the mode at master point and redo the CPK exam and see if
you get the same findings and priorities.

If it is a type of high gain that allows use to address things that
are currently being "cloaked" by the body's adaptation, then it would
be very useful, I would think.  On the other hand, if it is simply
introducing some confusion to the system or worse, actually causing a
detrimental effect, then it would certainly be good to know.

Thanks again for your help, Jeff.  I appreciate it.

I came across a mode in another technique that is called the "body
awareness" mode. The stated purpose is to make the body aware of
things that it has purposefully "forgotten." (A type of adaptation
or survival?) It seems to bring things that the body has "put on the
back burner" to the front so that they can be dealt with. It is
formed by wrapping the 4 fingers over the thumb, so that the thumb is
tucked inside the fist.

I have been experimenting with it for some time and this is what I
have found so far:

1) I can treat a patient until saturated and then use the body
awareness mode and new things will come up.

2) I can treat an endpoint until nothing else shows up and then use
the body awareness mode and new things will come up.

3) If I examine the patient first without the body awareness mode
and then go back and re-examine the patient by first locking in the
body awareness mode, the priorities, endpoints, and causal chains
seem to be completely different.

From what I can tell, it seems to be a type of high gain and it seems
to find problems that do not come up with regular processing. I do
not know if what it finds is more pertinent or more helpful, but it
is definitely different.

If anyone has any experience with the body awareness mode, I would
love to hear your experiences. If not, would some of you try it on
some patients and report back on your experience and results? I have
wondered if this might not be a mode that will take us to a deeper
level of dysfunction, and if so, it might take us closer to root
problems and in the process decrease our processing time and
hopefully correct more surface level problems automatically as the
deeper problems are dealt with. (Or it could just be a mode that
means "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" to the body..LOL.)

Anyone that takes the time to experiment with it, please report back
your findings.

Thanks,

Hey Adrian,

    CHeck out there kidneys and bladder for sciatica.
Ask for their priority test kit and run it over their
head and lock it in. Then recheck some of the things
you have checked before and see if more stuff shows
up. If you can't find it you can't fix it.

Travis B

P.S. See ya this summer in KC.

Sacroiliac Manipulation And Anterior Knee Pain
SOURCE: Suter, Esther, PhD, McMorland, G, DC, Herzog, W, PhD and
Bray, R, MD.
Decrease in Quadriceps Inhibition After Sacroiliac Joint Manipulation in
Patients with Anterior Knee Pain. JMPT, Volume 22, Number 3, March/
April 1999,
pages 149 - 153
ABSTRACT: Anterior knee pain is often associated with weakness and
inhibition
of the knee extensors, particularly the vastus medialis, resulting in
imbalance in the activation patterns of the knee extensor groups,
thus accelerating
patellofemoral pain. Treatment protocols have included physical
therapy/rehabilitation programs and even surgical intervention.
However, the lack of full
recovery has been related to strength deficits and the inability to
achieve full
recovery of the affected structures, often associated with persistent
muscular
inhibition. It has been suggested that muscular inhibition needs to be
overcome before significant improvement in muscle strength and
function can be
achieved. This pilot study was performed to establish whether
quadriceps inhibition
in patients with anterior knee pain was affected by sacroiliac joint
manipulation.

18 subjects with chief complaints of anterior knee pain participated
in this
study. Four had bilateral anterior knee pain, six had knee surgery
and 11 had
received physical therapy treatment. Before and after sacroiliac
manipulation,
torque, muscle inhibition, and muscle activation for the knee extensor
muscles were measured during isometric contractions using a Cybex
dynamometer,
muscle stimulation and electromyography. The knee extensors were
measured
bilaterally. Muscular inhibition was measured at 10 - 15% higher than
normal subject
comparison. Sacroiliac evaluation was performed with active forward
bending,
motion palpation and the sit up test for sacroiliac dysfunction. A
sacroiliac
joint was deemed symptomatic if pain was present over the posterior
superior
iliac spine and if provocation tests, such as Yeoman's, sacral
compression, and
Patrick's FABER test, exacerbated discomfort over the PSIS. 12 of the
patients
demonstrated a symptomatic sacroiliac dysfunction whereas 6
demonstrated an
asymptomatic sacroiliac dysfunction. The manipulation consisted of a
high
velocity, low amplitude thrust to the sacroiliac joint ipsilateral to
the side of
anterior knee pain. For those with bilateral anterior knee pain, the
side of
greatest subjective complaint was treated.

After correction of the sacroiliac dysfunction, an increase in knee
extensor
torque and a decreased in muscle inhibition were observed in the
involved leg.
Electromyographic activation of the vastus medialis was higher in the
involved leg post manipulation.
Evidence suggests that the success of conservative treatment in
restoring
muscle function is limited in the presence of severe muscle
inhibition. This is
consistent with this study as most of the subjects had a history of
incomplete
recovery following surgery or physical therapy. This study
demonstrates that
chiropractic manipulation may be an alternative or as an adjunct in the
treatment of anterior knee pain.

COMMENTS: This is a very interesting pilot study that will hopefully
lead to
further research. The relatively small size of this study must be
expanded
upon and future studies should be randomized, and double blinded.
However,
considering the incomplete recovery in many patients whom undergo
surgical and
physical medicine treatments, this study offers an interesting
hypothesis as to
why. There are two issues that present themselves when reviewing this
data. The
first is neurological, the later, biomechanical, but both have clinical
ramifications.

The inhibition of the extensors of the knees is a neurological
expression of
a reduction of excitatory postsynaptic potentials, and/or an increase
in the
amount of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials affecting the anterior
horn cells
of the spinal column. A review of the simple reflex arc is
appropriate at this
point, which will lead us to therapeutic considerations.

For example, when eliciting a simple reflex, the tendon of the
agonist muscle
is struck with a reflex hammer. This will produce the following
events at the
spinal cord level. An excitatory postsynaptic potential occurs
monosynaptically at the agonist muscle and a inhibitory postsynaptic
potential (via and
interneuron) occurs at the antagonist muscle. From review of this
arc, one would
conclude that electrical muscle stimulation applied to the knee
extensors
reduces inhibition of this area by creating excitatory postsynaptic
potentials at
anterior horn cells that affect the quadriceps muscle. From the
results of the
manipulation causing reduction in the inhibition of the knee extensors,
further investigation as to whether stimulation of mechanoreceptors
of the
sacroiliac joint are specific to creating excitatory post synaptic
potentials of the
knee extensors would be of interest. The actual position of the lower
extremity
during the manipulation could have a dramatic effect as well, in that
it would
dramatically alter the manner in which fast stretch is applied to the
knee
extensors themselves.

Biomechanically, alterations in gait cycle can certainly lead to
sacroiliac
dysfunction. This, along with the muscular weakness that commonly is
associated
with joint injuries, can account for a majority of the increased
muscular
inhibition of the knee extensors. A mechanical consideration beyond the
neurological inhibition needs to be identified, particularly if the
clinician feels it
may have caused the knee pain. Appropriate biomechanical analysis of
the lower
extremity should be performed, for example, to determine if an
orthotic is
appropriate, and to help determine what rehabilitative exercises are
appropriate.
In regard to anterior knee pain and the sacroiliac joint:
a. Anterior knee pain is often associated with inhibition of the vastus
medialis.
b. Sacroiliac manipulation can produce excitatory post synaptic
potential of
dorsal horn cells of the spinal cord to affect knee extensors.
c. Muscular inhibition may have to be overcome before more functional
strength gains can occur.
d. Both A and C.
