Once adequate resources are available, I hope to reverse my paralysis. The therapy would be in two stages.
The first stage would be two weeks (Monday-Friday) at The Upledger Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This therapy would remove the tension, which continues to drive my paralysis to this day. The Upledger Institute is a world renowned facility offering craniosacral and related therapies.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?
|
|
The craniosacral system extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth—the cranium, to the sacrum or tailbone area. It encompasses a thin layer of fluid contained in a membrane surrounding the brain and entire spinal cord. This system has its own rhythm (as does the cardiovascular system).
Imbalances and/or restrictions in this system can upset the rhythm with ensuing physical ailments, ranging from chronic pain to eye and back problems (scoliosis, for one), to learning disabilities, to fatigue. While the length of time required for treatment is dependent on the complexity of the dysfunction, craniosacral therapy calls upon the body’s own self-correcting activities, and often problems are readily corrected and require little or no followup.
Craniosacral Therapy involves gently detecting and correcting the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through light touch and manipulation. The therapists light hands-on approach simply assists the hydraulic forces, which operate in the craniosacral system, to improve the body’s internal environment and strengthen its ability to heal itself.

After this first stage of the reversal therapy, I will be in an advantageous physiological position (desirable osteopathic emotive balance) to examine/integrate repressed feelings, which, I believe, to this day prevent my paralyzed left hand from healing.This therapy will allow my brain wave frequency to slow to its slowest speed short of my being asleep. I will need additional therapist attention until I become comfortable.

Immediately following the craniosacral therapy, I would have primal therapy which primal therapist Ernst Oslender from the Primal Center of British Columbia, Canada defines as therapy emphasizing the release of innate pain, lodged deep within the physiological existence, thus reconnecting one to the primal source of life before the pain was encountered. If I would of had access to such therapy the first time after the Upledger therapy I probably would have completed my healing.
|
|
The second stage would be at a primal therapy facility (most likely in the west Los Angeles area were two world class facilities exist) for the purpose of re-balancing (getting used to the expansion of my brain wave frequency spectrum). This may be scary. I may have to revisit some more repressed pain. I will need to re-adjust to consciousness without physical or mental tension. The amount or duration of primal re-adjustment therapy needed is not known and will depend on many currently unknown factors, although the more I understand how this works the easier it seems. Having consciousness without tension when you never had it before is like moving to a new planet or being reborn.

NOTE: Tension blocking repressed feelings within ones physiology leads to organ malfunction and finally disease development. One is not necessarily consciously aware of internal tension. Then the allopathic medicine people identify your disease and put it under disease management (read: treatment >drugs and surgeries). Good way to make money!!

If possible I would have my therapist, Marie Regis from Port Washington, NY with me for assistance throughout both stages of the reversal process. Marie would get the opportunity to showcase her abilities/skills as a craniosacral therapist.
Craniosacral and primal therapy can be utilized in combination to rebalance patients osteopathically and emotionally so that they can experience life as it is meant to be experienced. NOT IN YESTERDAYS PAIN OR IN THE FUTURES FANTASY, BUT IN EACH MOMENT. This is what I believe, and what I hope to prove to the world. I want to document it, and, hopefully, open doors for others with similar problems.

Craniosacral Historical Information
|
|
The groundwork for craniosacral therapy was laid by osteopathic physician William Sutherland in the early l900’s, when he explored his observation that the bones of the skull were structured for movement. He called his system of examination and treatment Cranial Osteopathy.
In the l970’s, after observing first-hand the rhythmic movement of the craniosacral system during surgery, Dr. John E. Upledger, osteopathic physician and surgeon, investigated Sutherland’s work, and then went on to do clinical research, and prove the existence of the craniosacral system and document the effects of therapy on the system. He and others on his research team were also able to demonstrate how this system could be used to evaluate and treat malfunctions involving the brain and spinal cord, as well as many other health problems that were previously misunderstood.
In addition to three textbooks on the subject, Dr. Upledger has written two books for the general public: Your Inner Physician and A Brain is Born: Exploring the Birth and Development of the Central Nervous System.
He also established the Upledger Institute, a non-profit clinical and education center for the purpose of teaching the public and health care professionals about craniosacral therapy. It is his answer to a dream : "to reach out to the less fortunate—physically, mentally and financially—to help improve their life experiences".
