Role of Automonic Dysfunction / Vertebral Blockage in triggering Difficult Syndromes

[Guest guest]

Hi Par, & All,

> cases that are driving me crazy...

 

IMO Par's question re the role of sympathetic dysfunction in difficult nausea

cases deserves much discussion because the autonomic nervous system

(ANS) controls all vegetative bodily functions. IMO, there is an ANS

component in most, if not all, diseases / disorders.

 

In 1993, I visited a friend, the late Dr. Dominique Giniaux, in Paris to see his

equine techniques. Dom was a great guy and a true genius. He was a vet,

qualified human osteopath and an expert equine acupuncturist and

osteopath.

 

Dom put great importance on spinal (vertebral) balance/function in

maintaining health and movement in animals and people. At that time, I had

chronic problems with stress-related heart palpitations, arrhythmias, cardiac

angina + occasional left thoracic and left arm pain (lasting circa 20 years). I

also had a gastric ulcer and was on Tagamet treatment for 18 months.

 

Without telling Dom my symptom history, I asked him to examine my spine.

He diagnosed vertebral blockage at C7 (in the heart-innervation segments)

and T12 (in the gastric-innervation segments). [i was aware of a ROM

[range of movement] restriction in my neck at the time but was unaware of

pain or problems with my T12].

 

Dom manipulated my spine at C7 and T12. The procedure took less than 1

minute. Since that time (>13 years ago), I have taken only 3 Tagamet

tablets and have had very few angina attacks. Te saluto Dom; may G_d

Rest your Soul.

 

Now, I get occasional palpitations but nothing serious. If neck restriction

arises, I have other osteopathic friends adjust my C7 whenever I meet them

at conferences.

 

IMO, vertebral blockage is the root cause of many pain conditions, like

autonomic problems (including migraine, nausea, etc) and internal problems

(like chronic lung, stomach, heart and IBS problems, etc). This blockage

disrupts normal autonomic control of the associated organs and functions.

 

Few physicians, vets, TCM/acupuncture practitioners are experts also in

vertebral examination and manipulation. No matter how well we know our

own methods, our lack of skill in vertebral diagnosis/manipulation leaves us

impotent to treat the root cause of many chronic problems.

 

I have no hesitation in referring my patients (human or animal) to colleagues

more skilled than I am if I feel that to be necessary at the initial

presentation,

OR my methods fail to produce good results in a few weeks.

 

Best regards,
