Biochemical Flowchart Key Substrate Mineral Cofactor, Vitamin Coenzyme, or other substance that is needed for the conversion Toxin or other substance that blocks the conversion Product Synthase = enzyme to convert substrate to product Product / Substrate 2

Mineral Cofactor, Vitamin Coenzyme, or other substance that is needed for the conversion Toxin or other substance that blocks the conversion

Product 2 Synthase = enzyme to convert substrate 2 to product 2 Product 2 Substrate weakens and product strengthens = underactive enzyme Test substances to enhance conversion of Substrate to Product Substrate strengthens and product weakens = Overactive enzyme Test substances to convert Substrate 2 to Product 2 When substrate is low and product is high, it may be appropriate to test substances to block the conversion of substrate to product, such as herbs in a case of low testosterone. In most cases, these substances are toxins that should not be supplemented and the best remedy is to enhance the conversion of Substrate 2 to Product 2.

GV 20 Located at the highest point on the top of the head Related to the Hypothalamus Traditional Chinese Acupuncture calls it “The Cure of 100 Diseases” Governing Vessel 20 can be used to test anything including supplements, flower remedies, homeopathics, or anything else where a weak muscle is needed. Anything that strengthens GV 20 will benefit the person, though it can’t be said, based on the test, whether it will improve their health by 1% or 100%. If something does not strengthen GV 20, it will not benefit the patient. In a well neurologically organized person, GV 20 will weaken unless the person has no stresses on their body. If GV 20 does not weaken, the patient is either perfect, just took their supplements, or is neurologically disorganized. GV 20 Procedure 1. TL to GV 20 weakens

a. Inspiration and expiration strengthen Superficial Cranial Fault i. Using B+E points

a. TL B+E points until one strengthens GV 20 – indicates primary B+E point b. Rub this point bilaterally for 30 seconds with TL to GV 20

ii. Mechanical Correction a. Respiratory adjust b. TL technique c. All in one technique

b. Inspiration or expiration strengthen Ascending Fault (see next section on Biomechanics) 2. TL to GV 20 does not weaken

a. Inspiration and expiration weaken Superficial Cranial Fault i. Using B+E points

a. TL B+E points until one weakens GV 20 – indicates primary B+E point b. Rub this point bilaterally for 30 seconds with TL to GV 20

ii. Mechanical Correction a. Respiratory adjust b. TL technique c. All in one technique b. Inspiration or expiration weaken Ascending Fault (see next section on Biomechanics)

c. RNA or DNA open GV 20 i. 2-3 capsules a day for 2-3 weeks ii. Cut the dose in half if the patient experiences any bloating (supplement is made from yeast) iii. Open GV 20 from DNA or RNA is negated by DNA or RNA Polymerase, If yes:

a. Test Zinc d. 2 hand TL anywhere on the trunk weakens i. One hand contralateral TL on trunk opens GV 20 ii. Identify B+E point that negates weakness from 2 hand TL iii. Rub bilaterally for 30 seconds while patient maintains TL to GV 20 3. Complementary color opens GV 20 a. Repeat procedure with complementary color on patient and correct as indicated b. Complementary color may also be used to keep GV 20 open during office visit Rubbing the primary B+E point in reference to GV20 will: 1. Clear most cranial faults 2. Reset the body clock 3. Indicate the primary meridian imbalance 4. Prevent muscles from not switching on and off correctly

Biomechanics Verbal Challenge “The optimal therapy for me to perform on your _____ is _____” Types of Adjustments 1. RESIST 6. Percussion 2. Manipulation 7. Drop Adjustment 3. Meridian therapy 8. Instrument assisted 4. Respiratory Adjust 9. Pelvic Blocking 5. Therapy Localization Technique 10. Any other structural correction the doctor is skilled in Treatments RESIST (Reflex Extremity and Spinal Inhibitory and Stimulatory) Technique Doctor immobilizes the segment while patient moves other joints for 60 seconds

a. Spine: Patient moves all 4 limbs for 60 seconds b. AC, SC, Sternum: Patient actively moves upper extremities for 60 seconds

c. Extremity: Patient actively moves all spinal articulations for 60 seconds d. AS ilium: While patient moves all 4 extremities either 1) SOT block under the ASIS and immobilize the SI or 2) Hold the sacrum and ischium e. Coccyx: Find the tip and hold a little superior and lateral on both sides while patient moves all 4 extremities

Resist vs. High Velocity Manipulation Patient in control Doctor in control No force Force Joint is immobilized Joint is moved Every other joint is moved Every other joint is immobile Calibrates to 1000 Calibrates to 250 Systemic fascial release Local joint release Meridian Therapy 1. TL area to be adjusted 2. Find B+E point that negates weakness 3. Rub B+E point for one minute 4. Maintain TL while rub Respiratory Adjust 1. Determine vector of positive challenge to joint 2. Inspiration or expiration negates 3. Correct with light pressure in the direction of weakness on phase of respiration that strengthened TL Technique For spine or extremity: 1. Rub hands together to generate spiral field force (tell patient you are warming your hands). This prevents the patient’s problem from moving into the doctor. 2. Doctor touches patient’s area to be adjusted with one hand and his own same area with the other hand. 3. Doctor moves his joint through a full range of motion for a minute. Doing this puts the condition of the doctor’s joint into the patient. For this technique to be effective, the doctor’s joint must be in better condition than the patient’s. For cranials: 1. Rub hands together to generate spiral field force (tell patient you are warming your hands). This prevents the patient’s problem from moving into the doctor. 2. Doctor touches thumb and finger on the patient’s closed eyes. 3. Doctor touches his own closed eyes with thumb and finger of other hand and clenches and relaxes jaw muscles for one minute.

Body Clock Challenge Procedure 1. TL alarm point for “Now Time” meridian weakens. If not:

a. Office correction: Patient TLs coupled meridian alarm point with dominant hand while doctor taps GV 20 60 times (2 taps per second, 30 seconds) b. Self Correction: With dominant hand, TL coupled meridian alarm point while tapping GV 20 60 times (2 taps per second, 30 seconds) with non dominant hand

Indications for Body Clock Indigestion Sleep difficulties Jet Lag Recent travel across time zones Daylight savings time Patient Self Care During travel across time zones, do self correction at 6:30pm. With dominant hand just above pubic symphysis (BL), tap GV 20 with non dominant hand. Daylight Savings Time Winter time is real time. Summer time (“spring forward”) is Daylight Savings Time. The body’s energy flow does not change but the time on the clock does.

If a patient does not TL to any Beginning and End Points, either they are in perfect balance or they are not releasing their neurotransmitters due to the presence of bad fats. Too much emotion / neurotransmitter: Anxiety Too little emotion / neurotransmitter: Depression Diseases Parkinson’s Disease: Low Dopamine, High Acetylcholine.

High ACh is the cause, low dopamine is the effect. Pesticides are the root cause. High ACh will make a person rigid from overfiring the muscles.

Alzheimer’s: Low Acetylcholine Myasthenia Gravis: Low Acetylcholine

Common in dentists due to chronic mercury exposure Difficulty Swallowing

Swallowing is a parasympathetic response. Choline and factors may improve difficulties. Asthma: Low noradrenaline, high histamine Shock: High and low noradrenaline Manic Depression / Bipolar Disorder: High and low Dopamine Migraines: High Serotonin, Excess Tyramine Hot flashes: Low Dopamine Stimulation of the Low Neurotransmitter points can be used to increase the chemical. Stimulation of the High Neurotransmitter points can be used to decrease the chemical. Detoxification Dopamine, Noradrenaline, and Serotonin are ultimately detoxified through Phase 2 by Glutathione, Sulfation, Glucuronidation, and Acetylation. These enzymes can be supported by nutrients or foods. Their conjugates are excreted through urine or bile. Nutrients: Glutathione (Cysteine, Glycine, Glutamate): N-Acetyl Cysteine, Zinc, P5P, Selenium Sulfation (PAPs): Sulfur, MSM

Glucuronidation (UDP Glucuronic Acid): Glucuronate Acetylation (Acetyl CoA): Pantethine (B5), Acetyl CoA (B5) Foods: Glutathione: Spinach, Onion, Garlic, Rosemary, Watercress Sulfation: Dill, Parsnip, Horseradish, Cabbage, Stinging Nettle Glucuronidation: Cashew, Soy, Licorice, Flax, Alfalfa, Jerusalem Artichoke Acetylation: Endive, Pea, Cucumber, Watercress, Tomato In the brain, Glutamate is the main excitatory chemical and GABA is the main inhibitory chemical. In the spinal cord, Aspartate is the main excitatory chemical and Glycine is the main inhibitory chemical.

Useful in Alzheimers and memory problems. Do not eat snowdrops. Anticholinergics – Block Acetylcholine Solanacea family (contain alpha solanine) (Mandragora officinarum, Atropa belladonna, others) Tomatoes Potato Tobacco Jimsonweed (Thorne apple) Receptors 1. Muscarine receptor (antagonized by atropine) stimulation occurs physiologically when the parasympathetic nervous system is active during rest and sleep.

a. Slows the heart rate b. Stimulates the release of NO in blood vessels vasodilates c. Stimulates the secretion of saliva, mucous, HCl, digestive enzymes, and skin sweat glands d. Stimulates intestinal tone and peristalsis e. Stimulates ureter and bladder contraction f. Stimulates ciliary muscle contraction in the eye causing relaxation of the lens, which is then focused for near vision g. Stimulates contraction of the iris circular muscles causing constriction of the pupil h. Stimulates reduction of the intra ocular pressure by better drainage through Canal of Schlemm

2. Nicotinic (antagonized by curare) receptors occur at a. CNS especially in the hippocampus b. The neuromuscular junctions Acetylcholine is possibly the most widely used neurotransmitter in the body and all axons that leave the central nervous system (for example, those running to skeletal muscle, or to sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglia) use acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter.

Receptor Tests Muscarinic – Patient looks at a bright light and pupils don’t constrict or don’t hold their constriction.

– Patient looks at a bright light and a strong muscle weakens Nicotinic – Sustained muscle test weakens – Hold pressure on a muscle but do not increase pressure. If patient

weakens in under 10 seconds, they have an Acetylcholine deficiency. – If a patient is weak to the sustained muscle test, it suggests that they have poor memory recall because

Acetylcholine is needed to recall memory.

Pineal Gland Reasons for Dysfunction 1. Magnesium deficiency leading to calcification 2. Cranial faults causing mechanical inhibition The pineal gland does not secrete hormones into the blood. It secretes into the extracellular fluid that bathes the brain, having a calming effect. Pineal Hormones Serotonin – precursor to melatonin Epithalamin – determines to what age a woman menstruates Vasopressin (ADH) – conserves water in the body Somatostatin Dopamine Melatonin – calms the brain TRH Prolactin Noradrenaline GnRH Pinoline – dreaming; has receptors in the eyes; stimulated by violet Dimethyl Tryptamine – dreaming; has receptors in the eyes Indications Jet Lag Nightmares Morning Stiffness Natural Sources of Melatonin Bananas Morello cherries Porridge oats Effects of Melatonin Antioxidant against hydroxyl radical Stimulation of Calmodulin for protein synthesis Modulation of steroid hormones Stimulates MAO reducing levels of dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin, and histamine Low MAO activity increases dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin, and histamine leading to migraines MAO depends on Copper and Riboflavin

Diagnostic Entry EID and BID can be used to identify the cause of any positive TL or weak muscle. It can be tested from strength or from weakness, in either case observing for a change in muscle function (strength to weakness or weakness to strength). Either change is a positive. To identify whether to use Eyes Into Distortion (EID) or Body Into Distortion (BID), use the verbal challenge: “The optimal diagnostic entry into your health status is by (BID, EID)”. Eyes Into Distortion 1. Positive TL (B+E Point, Brain Nuclei, other) 2. Patient looks eyes in different directions (do not move head) 3. Correct all areas that show up first 4. Tap GV 20 for 1 minute or press GV 20 firmly once and release 5. Recheck primary B+E 6. If B+E still weak, check eye directions again 7. Repeat until GV 20 tap or press does not make weakness return Emergency or Symptomatic Care 1. TL to any problem area weakens 2. Hold eyes in different directions until one direction strengthens 3. This indicates the cause of the problem 4. Correct and repeat until the TL is negated Body Into Distortion Patient can turn their head instead of moving their eyes. BID works better in cases of nystagmus. BID is not recommended in cases of neck symptoms or to test for infection (circumduction), hypoxia (up and down), or energy (side to side). Directions and Indications Left and Up – Biochemistry / Nutritional Deficiency Left Straight– Toxicity (metals, chemical, radiation) Left and Down – Biomechanical Right and Up – Dehydration Right Straight – Exercise Right and Down – Offending food or drink Clockwise or Counterclockwise – Infection (bacteria, virus, post virus, parasite, fungus, yeast) Up-Down several times – Hypoxia Left-Right several times – Energy / ATP Eyes converge on nose – Sleep (too little or too much) It is possible that Nutrient deficiency does not show up but Hypoxia (or something else) does and needs a nutrient to correct. It doesn’t matter, just fix what shows up. Habituation Often, patients will avoid looking towards a direction that will cause a weakness. It can be helpful to accurately identify causes of dysfunction by “training” the patient to look in each direction. Starting from the middle – above the patient’s nose and with their eyes in neutral position, doctor instructs the patient to follow his finger from neutral to direction being tested and back to neutral. On the 3rd time that the patient moves their eyes, instruct them to hold their eyes in that position (which will be the EID being challenged).

The major water soluble toxin that the bladder and kidney pass out is toxic metals. 50% of prescribed medications are metabolized by CYP enzymes. Many CYP enzymes are inhibited by drugs, causing drug interactions.

Detoxification – Phase 1 Hydroxylation by Cytochrone P450 There are 14 families of the Cytochrome P450 enzyme encoding for between 35-60 distinct P450 enzymes. They all use the abbreviated root symbol CYP. This is followed by a number designating the family having similar sequence identity. This is followed by a capital letter indicating the subfamily. Lastly, this is followed by another number indicating the individual P450s in the family. Example: CYP1A1. CYP1A1 2-Estrogens, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) (benzopyrene from chargrilling) CYP1A2 16-Estrogens, Uroporphyrinogen (heme)

Induced by smoking, broccoli, sprouts, chargrilling, high insulin, pesticides High in colon cancer

CYP1B1 4-Estrogens, Synthetic estrogens (Hormone Replacement Therapy, Oral Contraceptive Pills) Linked to Glaucoma, malignancy CYP2A6 Nicotine CYP2B4 Phenobarbitol, Induced by Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) CYP2C9 Warfarin, NSAIDs, Fluvastatin, Tamoxifen, Amitryptyline Inhibited by St Johns Wort, Induced by Thiol Pesticides CYP2C19 Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, Diazepan, 30% of drugs with 2D6 Inhibited by St Johns Wort, Induced by Thiol Pesticides CYP2D6 Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, Codeine, Organophosphate Pesticides, 30% of drugs with 2C19 Induced by Thiol Pesticides CYP2E1 Ethanol, Solvents, Acetomenophen, Tobacco smoke CYP3A4 50% of Pharmaceutical Drugs, Lidocaine, Lovastatin, Taxol, Warfarin, Organophosphate Pesticide

Induced by St Johns Wort, Orange Juice, Thiol Pesticides, Inhibited by grapefruit The cytochrome P450 vials can strengthen, indicating a need to upregulat phase 1. They can also weaken, indicating that phase 1 is moving too fast and phase 2 can’t keep up. This produces toxic intermediates and indicates a need to upregulate phase 2 Silymarin Flavonoids extracted from Silybum marianum / Milk Thistle Protects liver from damage and enhances detoxification Antioxidant – more potent than vitamins E or C Increases synthesis of Glutathione by 35% Prevents depletion of glutathione caused by alcohol and other toxic chemicals Increases rate of liver tissue regeneration Protects the liver from damage caused by carbon tetrachloride, amanita toxin, galactosamine, praseodymium nitrate Scale of Toxicity “On a scale of 1 to 1000, with 1000 being no toxicity and 1 being completely toxic, your scale of toxicity right now calibrates at _____.” Scale of Homeostasis “On a scale of 1-1000 with 1000 being perfection (for you) your scale of homeostasis right now calibrates at ___” When Homeostasis is high and toxicity is high (meaning very toxic, low on the scale) this indicates that the patient is doing something beneficial but it is doing a “holding job” and if removed the patient will feel worse. The toxicity must be addressed.

Reactive Oxygen Species Types Reactive Oxygen Species include Superoxide (O2-), Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), Hydroxyl (OH-), Hypochlorite (OCl-), Hypobromide (OBr-), Hypoiodide (OI-), Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), Nitric Oxide (NO). OH and ONOO are highly damaging and are not normally made by the body. H2O2 can melt the pancreas and cause Type 1 Diabetes. Production 1. During the Respiratory Burst (increased temperature), membrane bound NAD(P)H Oxidase is activated in both Macrophages and Granulocytes and produces Superoxide Anion radicals from molecular oxygen. 2. Macrophages can also generate NO via the conversion of Arginine mediated by inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS). 3. Granulocytes (large amounts in a single shot), and Macrophages (small amounts but more constant), discharge the lysosomal enzyme Myeloperoxidase stimulating halogen anions.

Love Challenge Love embraces all things Love trusts all things Love transcends all things Love is never possessive Love is never fearful Love is simply love Love cannot shine with any specialness on anyone at any time Love can only be welcomed where love truly resides Love resides within you and the Source of your very being If you would know love, know your Self If love flows through you, it must first flow to you Your work is not to seek and find love. It is to merely turn within to discover every obstacle that you have created to its presence. Procedure 1. After correcting all structural and chemical faults as noted in the protocol 2. Patient weakens to closing their eyes 3. “The optimal emotional correction for me to perform on you is the love challenge” strengthens 4. Patient weakens to saying one of the following:

“I am loved” “I am loving” “I am loveable”

5. Correct by repeating the weakening statement 20 times every night The hardest statement to accept is the doorway to the unconscious emotion. Healing will occur when the patient withdraws all valuation placed on the disease. 1 Corinthians 13:1-15 I may have all the faith needed to move mountains – but if I have no love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have and even give up my body to be burnt – but if I have no love, this does me no good. I may be able to speak the language of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching, I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets, Love is patient and kind, it is not jealous or conceited or proud. Love is not ill mannered or selfish or irritable, love does not keep a record of wrongs. Love is not happy with evil, but is happy with truth. Love never gives up, and its faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal. Love is patient and kind. Love is happy with truth. Love never gives up, and its faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal. 1. Love is not jealous (Craving and desire) 2. Love is not conceited (Fear and anxiety) 3. Love is not proud (Pride and scorn) 4. Love is not ill mannered (Apathy and despair) 5. Love is not selfish (Shame and humiliation) 6. Love is not irritable (Anger and hate) 7. Love does not keep a record of wrongs (Grief and regret) 8. Love is not happy with evil (Guilt and blame) To create a new neural net, something must be said or done 580 times. Saying the affirmations 20 times a night for 30 nights is 600 times and therefore will hardwire the statement into the brain.

Ear - Tinnitus Causes Prescription Drugs Anxiety and depression drugs, anti-malarial medication, blood pressure controlling medicines, toxins ingested into the body, and heavy metal poisoning Toxic Metal Poisoning Electrical discharge from mercury fillings in teeth can cause tinnitus. Tinnitus From Auditory Nerve Damage Often confused with outer or middle ear damage. Damage to the ear drum does not mean auditory nerve damage. Chronic Tinnitus At least 10 million Americans suffer from tinnitus so chronic that they are unable to function normally. Tinnitus From Eardrum Damage Most of the problems of the outer ear that can cause tinnitus are usually mechanical in nature. Patulous Eustachian Tubes The normal eustachian tube is functionally collapsed at rest, with slight negative pressure present in the middle ear. It opens during swallowing, sneezing, and yawning. Pulsatile Tinnitus Tinnitus which pulsates in time to the heart beat. This type of tinnitus occurs when there is a narrowing or a partial blockage of arteries. Internal Carotid Artery is the most likely. Remedies Cochlear Damage Remedy 1. Thiosinaminum - a natural chemical that is derived from oil of the mustard seed and is excellent for ringing in the ear. It may also be helpful in tinnitus when the cause is from scar tissue. Helpful with otitis media and deafness due to fibrous change in the nerve. 2. Carboneum Sulphuratum - helps with impaired hearing, a sensation of fullness in the ears, and noises in the head. Will help when the hearing is impaired with buzzing and singing noises like a harp. Successfully treats Tinnitus and Meniere's disease. 3. Chininum Sulphuricum - Sulphite of Quinine - Used in homeopathy to help with buzzing, ringing, and roaring sounds that are loud enough to impair the person’s hearing. Particularly helpful with violent ear ringing, buzzing, and roaring in ears with deafness. 4. Pulsatilla Vulgaris - Pulsatilla belongs to the Buttercup family of flowers, native to western, central and southern Europe. When potentized homeopathically Pulsatilla diminishes acuteness of hearing, relieves inflammation of the Eustachian tubes, and relieves ringing noises in the ears. 5. Cinchona Officinalis - China. Peruvian Bark - Excellent in the relief of sensitivity to noise and tinnitus. Helps ringing in the ears, humming, roaring or ticking in the ears, and hearing problems. Sinus Remedy 1. Hydrastis - Hydrastis canadensis. Golden Seal. Orange-root. Yellow Puccoon. N. O. Ranunculaceæ. Tincture of the fresh root. Very effective in relieving blockage of the eustachian tubes. 2. Calcarea Carbonica 3. Kalium Bichromate - Potassæ bichromas. Potassic dichromate. Bichromate of Potash. Red Chromate of Potash. K2Cr2O7. Solution in distilled water. This is one of the most valuable remedies in homeopathy that treats sinusitis. Very effective in treating ulcerations of the nasal mucosa. 4. Silicea

Ear - Tinnitus Stress Remedy 1. Phosphoric Acid - H3P04. Dilution. For the relief of stress, nervous tension, and mild anxiety. (The dilute acid of B. P. forms the homeopathic 1x. In The first solution is made of glacial Phosphoric Acid.) 2. Sulphur 6C - Brimstone. Sublimed Sulphur. S. (A. W. 3l.98). Trituration of "Flowers of Sulphur." A saturated solution of Sulphur in absolute alcohol constitutes the Ø tincture. Used in homeopathy for giddiness and flushing, especially on getting out of bed in morning, suffocating feeling, oppressive, burning sensation in chest, suddenly becoming hot and flushed in the face. 3. Sepia 6C - Sepia officinalis. Cuttle Fish. N. O. Cephalopoda. Trituration of dried liquid contained in the ink-bag. Relieves irritibilty, bottled up anger, despair, fear that something dreadful is about to happen, nervous tension, and anxiety. 4. Calcarea Carbonica 12C - Impure Calcium Carbonate. Ca C03. Including symptoms of Calcarea acetica and Calcarea ostrearum, a trituration of the middle layer of oyster shells. Helps with inflammation of the sinuses and nose. Relieves inflamed sinuses. Often used in homeopathy to treat symptoms of exhaustion, depression, and anxiety. 5. Silicea 12C - Silicea terra. Pure Flint. Silex. Silicic anhydride. Silicon dioxide. SiO2. Trituration of pure, precipitated Silica. Silica is essential for growth and bone development, is present in connective tissue, and helps to keep cartilage flexible and skin permeable. Used extensively to control vertigo with nausea, fainting, and also vertigo creeping up the spine into the head. Effective with chronic headache attended with nausea and vomiting. 6. Kali Phos 3C - Phosphate of Potassium. K2HP04. Trituration. Solution in distilled water. Helps with feeling scared, unhappy, irritable, worried about one's future, sense of failure, forgetfulness, nervousness, feeling overwhelmed when alone, sensation of bed sinking into floor as one falls asleep. Tinnitus & Meniere's Disease Remedies 1. Thiosinaminum 2. Carboneum Sulphuratum 3. Chininum Sulphuricum 4. Pulsatilla Vulgaris 5. Cinchona Officinalis 6. Belladonna - Belladonna, more commonly known as deadly night-shade. Is very helpful in treating giddiness, confusion, excitation, incoherent or violent behaviour, motion sickness, and vertigo associated with Meniere's disease. 7. Calcarea Carbonica 8. Silicea

Ear - Deafness Hereditary Congenital Deafness Alport’s Syndrome Associated with blood and albumin in the urine. Can occur during the first week of life. Deafness is sensineural and progressive. Eventually renal failure will occur. Male patients worse affected, usually dying of chronic nephritis before age of 30. Hurler’s Syndrome Associated with 'gargoylism'. Head is enlarged, face flattened, neck short, eyes enlarged and wide apart, teeth widely spaced and abdomen protruding. Is progressive, usually after speech has begun. Results in mental disability and enlarged spleen and liver. Klipell Feil Syndrome Linked with spinal deformity. Usually a missing a vertebrae in the neck. Deafness is usually profound. Pendred's Syndrome Related to a deficiency in the thyroid gland which leads to swelling in the neck. Swelling can usually be treated but the hearing impairment cannot. Cases recorded in which deafness has not started until after age of 4. Treacher Collins Syndrome Results in malformations of the conducting mechanisms of the ear. In an extreme form, the lower jaw and some facial bones to fail develop properly. Deafness is of varying degrees of severity and kinds. Waardenburg's Syndrome Physical characteristics can include a broad nasal bridge, wide spaced eyes, eyes of different colors, a streak of white hair in the middle of the forehead. This type of deafness is always profound. Usher Syndrome Children often born hearing but deafness occurs. It is progressive accompanied by changes in the retina. Many people may believe themselves just to be deaf until they encounter vision difficulties. Can result in complete blindness.

Ear - Deafness Pre-natal Deafness Maternal Rubella 20% of all cases of congenital deafness. The earlier it is contracted in pregnancy, the more damage it will cause. By 4th month neural structures and embryonic cochlea are nearly fully developed. Associated with blindness, heart disease, brain damage, and spasticity. Women need to get Rubella as children so they can pass on their antibodies to their children. Viral Infections Most notably influenza contraction by mother during pregnancy. May account for a small number of cases of congenital deafness. Drugs Thalidomide which has been identified as a cause of deafness as well as limb deformities. Peri-Natal Deafness Kernicturus An incompatibility in the blood groups between mother and baby. Causes damage to the cochlear nerve fibres. Anoxia Lack of oxygen, also associated with brain damage. Other cases include prematurity, birth injury. Post-Natal Deafness Measles Can cause moderate to severe hearing loss. Usually affects both ears. Possible implication in otosclerosis. Mumps Characterised by severe hearing loss in one ear only. Meningitis Controversy over whether deafness is caused as a result of the infection or the drug used to treat it. Drugs (ototoxic deafness) Allergic reaction or toxicity. Cochlea Osteosclerosis Progressive loss usually in both ears. Progression is slow and hearing tends to stay stationary for a long time. Is identified by loss of high tones before low tones. Otosclerosis (hardening) A progressive degenerative condition of the temporal bone which can result in hearing loss. May be fixation of the stapes footplate to the oval window of the cochlea which impairs movement of the stapes and transmission of sound into the inner ear (“ossicular coupling”). The cochlea’s round window can also become sclerotic and in a similar way impair movement of sound pressure waves through the inner ear (“acoustic coupling”). Noise Induced deafness Associated with particular professions where noisy machinery is used. Hearing loss is variable. Head Injuries Deafness can follow injuries to the head such as a skull fracture, concussion, and blast injuries. If hearing loss is due to a 'trauma' it is possible some or all of the hearing may return. Meniere's Disease Associated by severe attacks of vertigo, nausea, and vomiting. Tends to begin between the ages of 33 and 55. Hearing loss affect low frequency tones before high tones. Comes in attacks, hearing appears to improve between attacks of vertigo. Presabyacusis (senile deafness) Due to an atrophy of the tiny hair cells and nerve fibers in the cochlea. Is progressive. Most commonly noticed around the age of 60. The onset can be premature if a person undergoes prolonged exposure to noise in adult life.

Muscle test for the needed dose and take it all at once. When symptoms come back take the dose again. In a couple of days, the symptoms should stay improved for a longer time. Decrease the dose. When symptoms are gone, continue with one capsule a day for the rest of the time when symptoms are usually present. Next year, start taking the remedy a week before symptoms usually start. In a couple years the symptoms will not come back at all. Sinusitis Chronic Inflammation Vasomotorrhinitis caused by humidity, cold air, alcohol, perfumes, and other environmental conditions, also may be complicated by sinus infections. Headache and sinus problems in the morning are from fungal spores.

Neurobehavioral Disorders Areas of the Brain Forebrain Telencephalon (Cortex and Basal ganglia)

Diencephalon (Thalamus) Cerebellum Vermis and Cerebellar hemispheres Hind brain Mesencephalon (Mid brain)

Pons Medulla oblongata

Disorders Causes A lack of stimulation to one side of the brain A lack of communication between the two hemispheres. Communication is through the Corpus Callosum, mediated by Dopamine. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Is considered a name for a spectrum of deficits of cognitive executive functions that may respond to similar treatments and are often combined with a wide variety of psychiatric disorders many of which may also be spectrum disorders. Probably low dopamine. Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) An impairment of higher order cognitive processing known as executive function whose function seems to primarily reside in the frontal lobes. Often associated with excess excitatory agonists (MSG, Aspartame). Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) Patients have severe problems with executing appropriate social behavior. Strong overlap with ADHD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) There are varying degrees of overlap between OCD and ADHD. Usually associated with low serotonin. Aspberger’s syndrome Often called semantic-pragmatic disorder, right hemisphere learning disorder, nonverbal learning disability, and schizoid disorder. Autism Has many similar symptoms to ADHD. Many autistics are hyperactive and with executive dysfunction in attention, impulsivity, and distractibility. Probably have cerebellar pathology. Principle brain regions affected in learning disorders: 1. Cerebellum 2. Thalamus 3. Frontal lobes 4. Basal ganglia The CNS has more mitochondria than any other tissue in the body. ATP is needed to pump Na and K in and out of the cells. Therefore it is also the most oxygen hungry tissue of the body. Thalamus Major relay station for all sensory input except olfaction Transmit signals to the control centers for vision, hearing, touch, and somatosensation Information is sent to the parietal, temporal, and frontal lobes Information is sent to the hypothalamus for endocrine or autonomic responses All conscious input (pain, temperature, vibration, touch) crosses in the spinal cord, goes to the contralateral thalamus, and then the cortex

Page 54: Functional Biochemistry Clinical Reference Guide Astill-Smith Book... · A New Earth by Eckart Tolle Water Crystal Healing by Massuro Emoto Power Vs Force by David Hawkins The Linus

Neurobehavioral Disorders Cerebellum The cerebellum is smaller than the cortex but has more nerve fibers than the cortex does. All unconscious input (proprioception from joints and muscles) enters the spinal cord and ascends to the ipsilateral cerebellum then crosses through the thalamus to the contralateral cortex. 90+% of all neurological input is proprioception and it is all subconscious. The cerebellum is the most oxygen hungry area of the CNS. Low oxygen will cause balance problems. Cerebellar connections to the Frontal Lobe affect: Language Motor function Cortical arousal Alertness Attention Prefrontal Connections affect: Planning Verbal working Memory (along with frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes, the thalamus, the anterior and posterior cingulate gyrus, and the precuneus) Noradrenergic connections to the Locus Coerulus and Serotoninergic connections to the Raphe Nucleus regulate: Emotions Affective behavior Arousal Motivation Global behaviors (sleeping, waking) Basal Ganglia Regulates movements Dysfunction can cause characteristic motor, cognitive, and emotional symptoms that are often seen in children with cognitive and emotional affective disorders. Involved with the sequencing of movements. Dysfunction causes “Floppy Baby Syndrome” (dystonia). GV28 is the meridian point for the basal ganglia. Located in the diencephalon and is made up of 5 subcortical nuclei: 1. Globus pallidus 2. Caudate 3. Putamen 4. Sunstantia nigra 5. Subthalamic nucleus of Luys Cortex Occipital Lobe codes for visual features like color, luminance, spatial frequency, orientation, and movement. Most visual input is from the rods. Rods pick up changes in shades and see dark and peripheral vision, which is important in balance. Temporal Lobes are involved in auditory processing and memory recall. Neocortex is involved with thinking and making decisions. It is large in humans and absent in animals. Parietal Lobes perceive sensory input. Frontal Lobes accomplish goals, make decisions, express creativity, navigate through complex social situations and regulate goal directed behavior, a hierarchy of reflexive movements, cross temporal contingencies, approach and avoidance behavior, response inhibition, and perseveration.

The left frontal cortex advances and is inquisitive. Dysfunction (underfunctioning) leads to withdrawal and introversion. The right frontal cortex withdraws and is quiet. Dysfunction (underfunctioning) leads to uncontrollable advancing, aggression, ADD/ADHD.

By examining the motor function of the frontal lobe, the non motor function of the frontal lobe can likewise be assessed. Improvement in motor function should result in improvement in non-motor function of the frontal lobe. Activities that improve muscle tone, coordination, and timing and the control of skeletal muscle should also improve cognitive functions of the frontal lobe like verbal fluency, attention, and inhibition of eye movements.

Left hemisphere stimulated by high frequency sound. Frequency = Speed of light / Wavelength Frequency is measured in Herz (Hz). Wavelength is measured in a distance (meters, nanometers, etc). “Meridian” Point for Basal Ganglia Basal ganglia problems will cause lack of muscle tone called dystonia. In a baby, they will be described as a “floppy baby”. Rubbing these points will stimulate the basal ganglia and can improve the muscle tone. The points are on the foot between the medial and superior aspects of the proximal phalanx on the big toe. It is not a true meridian point, but is thought to work through the spleen meridian. The point will TL. Treatment is to rub vigorously every day.

The Seven Ages of Man All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms; Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin'd, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."

– Shakespeare’s As You Like It 1. The Infant: In this stage he is dependent on others and needs to be constantly attended to. Post Partum Depression Lactation Colic 2. The School boy (Childhood): It is in this stage that he begins to go to school. He is reluctant to leave the protected environment of his home as he is still not confident enough to exercise his own discretion. Nutrients for children Nutrients for teens Nutrients for menarche ADHD Exam performance Children seminar 3. The Lover (Adolescence): In this stage, he is always remorseful due to some reason or other, especially the loss of love. He tries to express feelings through song or some other cultural activity. Infertility 4. The Soldier (Young Adult): He thinks less of himself and begins to think more of others. He is very easily aroused and is hot headed. He is always working towards making a reputation for himself and gaining recognition, however short lived it may be, even at the cost of his own life. Pregnancy Labor 5. The Justice (Adult): In this stage, he has acquired wisdom through the many experiences he has had in life. He has reached a stage where he has gained prosperity and social status. He becomes very attentive of his looks and begins to enjoy the finer things of life. Optimal Eating Reactive Oxygen Species Bone Density 6. The Pantaloon (Old age): He begins to lose his charm, both physical and mental. He begins to become the brunt of others' jokes. He loses his firmness and assertiveness and shrinks in stature and personality. Emotional Outlook 7. Second Childhood (Dementia and Death): He loses his status and he becomes a non-entity. He becomes dependent on others like a child and is in need of constant support before finally dying.

The Infant Babies are 100% made from mom, sometimes at the expense of the mother’s nutrient stores. After birth, priority goes to the mom. Breastfeeding while mom is deficient in nutrients will make baby deficient. Post Partum Depression Occurs usually 40-48 hours after birth or when the milk comes in. Magnesium deficiency following massive loss due to smooth muscle contraction through the labor. 15-Hydroxy estrogens are present in pregnancy and are metabolized by Magnesium. Zinc deficiency as there is high zinc loss on expulsion of the placenta. Omega 3 fatty acids can be taken from the mom and given to the baby during pregnancy, which can cause mother’s brain to shrink. Lactation Suckling initiates afferent impulses that travel by sensory neurones from the areola to the hypothalamus. This stimulates magno-cellular neurones that stimulate the posterior pituitary to release oxytocin, which causes contraction of the myo-epithelial cells and release of milk. Increasing Milk Production 1. Increase infant suckling 2. Increase water intake 3. Take herbal galatagogue, such as Anise seed, Blessed thistle, Chaste berry, Fennel Seed, Fenugreek, Hops, Milk Thistle Seed, Nettle Leaf, Raspberry leaf tea 4. Avoid large amounts of sage and parsley which may decrease milk flow Colic – spasm of the smooth muscle of the intestines 1. Mother’s milk – use surrogate to test mother’s milk which can have contaminants from mother’s diet or mobilization of mother’s fat. 2. Allergy to mother’s diet. Brassicas or other pungent foods, wheat, and milk are often involved. 3. High calcium to magnesium ratio from hard or mineral water. Ionic Magnesium works well for babies. 4. Potassium deficiency slows peristalsis 5. Protein deficiency slows peristalsis 6. B vitamin (B1, B5) deficiency slows peristalsis. B5 is needed to make Acetylcholine. 7. Probiotics should be inoculated during birth. C section birth will prevent inoculation and antibiotics during pregnancy, chlorinated water, and food preservatives will kill the bacteria. B. infantalis is the only probiotic for an infant. 8. Infection – bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite 9. Cranial faults will affect digestion. Common after the trauma of birth and from bumps to the head. Correct using All in One Technique.

Calcium, Phosphorous, Vitamin D – supplementing will reduce risk of osteoporosis later on 2. Iron – breastfed babies with iron deficient mothers 3. Vitamin K – in hemorrhagic disease 4. Essential fats – for brain and eye development 5. Zinc Important nutrients in teens (ages 12-17) 1. Increased need for protein, calories, and nutrients 2. Calcium 1200-1500mg/day for bone mass. Calcium citrate is about 10% calcium. A 500mg capsule will be 100mg calcium and 400mg citrate. Other forms have less calcium. Phosphorous in soft drinks will flush out calcium. 3. Folic acid for growth 4. Iron – rise in hemoglobin levels 5. Omega 3 fatty acids Nutritional Requirements at Puberty in Females 1. Bone calcium reaches a maximum in females shortly before menarche. At that time bone deposition rate is 5x that of adult. There is a decline in bone calcium deposition rate after menarche. 2. Increased nutrients are required by the pituitary, ovaries, and adrenal glands (Manganese, Niacin, Iron, E). 3. Omega 3 improves dysmenhorea in adolescents when taken for more than 3 months by decreasing PG2. 4. Magnesium improves dysmenorrhea by stopping uterine cramps. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children (ADHD) Symptoms: attention deficit, impulsivity, hyperactivity, mood swings, temper tantrums, disorganization, inability to cope with stress or stay focused Causes: genetic factors, food additives, foods, environmental chemicals, molds and fungi, toxins (heavy metals, organo-chlorine pollutants), thyroid dysfunction Nutritional Deficiencies: P5P, Magnesium, Zinc, Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, flavonoids, phosphatidylserine Treatment: supplement, dietary changes, detoxification, correction of intestinal dysbiosis, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, cranial and emotional work Exam Support Formula High Omega 3 intake for at least 3 months prior to exams 1 week before exam – start aerobic exercise 15 minutes 1-2 x per day 3 days before exams and during exam period care with diet:

No refined sugars Protein (boiled egg), fruit, and whole-wheat toast for breakfast Fruit juice, nuts, and raisins mid morning Protein, whole-wheat bread, and 1 pint water for lunch Nuts and raisins mid afternoon Nutritious evening meal

Before exam morning or afternoon – cycle, walk, or run to school Take 3x Omega 3, 2x Ginkgo biloba, 2x Nutrient Phase 1&2, 10 squirts XS Ionic Zinc, Phosphatidylcholine or Phospholipid mix

Gifts, Skills, and Talents Gifts, Skills, and Talents are the direct expression of the Superconscious. They are everlasting qualities that make a person who they are. Having more or less is not bad, but indicates the level of responsibility a person has in their life. A person’s purpose in life is full expression of their given gifts. A person may have a gift but not be expressing it due to unconscious emotions. Anxiety and Fear is the most common unconscious emotion that interferes with full expression. Indications: Looking for a new career, Looking for a first career, Questioning if your direction in life is right “On a Scale of 1-1000, the Gift, Skill, or Talent of __ right now calibrates at (200, 500, 800, 1000) for you.” 1.

Functional Biochemistry Clinical Reference Guide About the Authors

Chris Astill-Smith is a registered Osteopath graduating from the British School of Osteopathy in 1970. He lectured in Nutrition and Dietetics at the British School of Osteopathy from 1973-1980 and in Arthrology and Myology from 1981-1989. He obtained his Diplomate from the International College of Applied Kinesiology in 1988 and lectures internationally on Functional Biochemistry most weekends. He was awarded Assistant Professor status at the Institute for Manual Medicine in Russia in 1992. Chris calls upon 41 years of experience of clinical management and shares his extensive knowledge in the subject as well as a multitude of clinical pearls. In 2011, Chris co-founded Epigenetics International, Ltd.

Epigenetics is mediated by environmental signals through perceptions which in turn can change the read out of our genes. How you see the world selects which genes are going to be activated and modifies the read out to make proteins that best fit the environmental circumstances of the time. Perception runs our genes, but not all perceptions are true. Misperceptions can miss run our genes. Misperceptions are interpretations of the world that are inaccurate. Inaccurate perceptions will inaccurately run our biology which will lead to dysfunctions and disease which is why thought becomes a prominent contributor to the state of health we express. Perception is the primary mechanism that controls our biology.

Casey Reardon is a licensed Chiropractor practicing in Pennsylvania, USA. After graduating from New York Chiropractic College in 2007 with 300 hours of Applied Kinesiology training, he continued his AK education with hundreds of hours of classes, including many of Chris Astill-Smith’s seminars. This book was born from those seminars to help all of Chris’s students to quickly and easily bring his work into their clinics.
