I spent the first 22 years of my career practicing both Chiropractic and Acupuncture. My Chiropractic philosophy has a neurologically based approach, not a crack the bone in place approach. I believed chiropractic manipulation was a strong stimulus for the central nervous system, affecting higher-order postural tone mechanisms. I did not think that the bones were slightly misaligned and pinching nerves. I did believe that postural muscle imbalances would cause distortions in the spinal column that would appear as misalignments on the X-ray. By properly adjusting the spine to stimulate the central nervous system, postural muscle imbalance could be corrected. The corrected posture would then affect the misalignments on the X-ray. It is a straightforward Chiropractic method that quite simply boils down to left or right. Evaluate the side of the body that has the postural imbalance by testing muscle strength and tone. Followed by selectively adjusting the dysfunctional spinal joints on the opposite side of the body. If the right side of the body has a postural imbalance, then I would only adjust the restricted joints on the left. Boring, but a very effective method. The technical part is confusing, but it deals with the stimulation of the sensory relay station in the brain called the Thalamus. Incoming sensory input from restricted spinal joints is decreased, resulting in decreased thalamic activity. A spinal adjustment frees the restricted joint and sends a large stimulus to the thalamus. Normal thalamic activity restores proper posture tone. I could predictably correct the postural tone imbalances that caused a vast array of complaints presenting to my clinic. This left me bored with Chiropractic, sounds funny, but there's not much more to gain with 2 years of practice.
I then took a strong interest in furthering my knowledge of acupuncture. As a tool, chiropractic has its uses in the orthopedic setting, but acupuncture has a much broader scope of healing possibilities. A torn rotator cuff would not heal after just postural corrections; acupuncture with electricity applied to the needles sped up the healing process. Irritable bowel syndrome, osteoarthritis, fertility, and eventually allergies became common conditions I successfully treated with acupuncture. It was my deep interest to understand the mechanism behind acupuncture. The concept of Chi flowing through the meridian system had to be explainable by physics. The meridian system must have an anatomic relationship to a structure already delineated in anatomic texts. I thoroughly studied the bioelectric concept for the first 22 years of my practice, trying to understand the connection between the Eastern and Western systems of healthcare.
In my 23rd year of practice, I finally made the connection. I am currently writing a book detailing my proposed system. I am going to discuss the general aspects of this blog as an introduction to my system. I believed that each meridian operated at a certain electrical frequency, which I could enhance with electroacupuncture. For years, I experimented with different electrical frequencies with no results. I discovered that the system operates by electromagnetic energy. Energy within the visible light spectrum was what the Chinese referred to as Chi. The meridians parallel spinal nerves at the distal aspects of the extremities, it was this distal correlation that hid the connection of acupuncture to the nervous system for years. Each nerve carried information by electromagnetic energy up to the thalamus. Each nerve operated at a different frequency, which correlated to the five-element theory. The element theory assigns a color to each grouping of acupuncture channels. For 22 years, the frequency I was looking for was on a chart hanging in my office, it was not an electrical frequency but an electromagnetic frequency.
When I say spinal nerve, I am not talking about the actual nerve. The next layer of this is the glial cells, which surround the nerve. Glial cells are poorly understood in conventional biology. Their function is limited to supporting the nerve cells and increasing the speed of neural firing. My model proposes that the glial cells form a complex network of information; gathering, processing, and messaging. Within the brain, glial cells outnumber the neurons 3 to 1. Concepts like consciousness are now being proposed to lie within the central glial network. The nerve-based central nervous system can only operate on binary processing of information, while the glial system acts like a quantum computing network. Theoretical physicists propose that quantum computers using light (electromagnetic energy) hold the best promise for a true quantum computer. The only problem is that working with light in a lab setting is very difficult. The grand plan of life has already figured it out using semiconductor proteins as the quantum processing system. This system is utilized in the basic unit of life, the cell, within its microtubule protein networks. The glial system organizes the function of the organism as a multicellular network through its microtubule networks. Peripheral sensory glial cells attain photonic energy from the pigment system in the skin, which drives the system. Each glial/nerve cell unit operates at a different photonic frequency, which is all integrated within the thalamus.
Photonic energy excites the electrons within the microtubule networks of the glial system via electron tunneling mechanisms. Microtubules are composed of amino acid sequences that allow electrons to flow through in a patterned behavior. These patterned behaviors are driven by the photonic frequency that kick-starts the electron flow. As these electrons tunnel around through proteins, they can emit photonic signals which have information that can be gathered by microtubule networks within the glial system or cells served by the glial network. As nearby cells emit photonic signals, the glial cell networks can absorb these signals, which can be gathered and transmitted to the central glial network in the brain. The central glial network can then send signals back down to the cells with instructions.
I believe that acupuncture was aiding in the conductance of the initial photonic energy into the glial system. I discovered that cold laser therapy with different electromagnetic frequencies can have a more direct effect on this photonic stimulus to the system. Applying the cold laser not at acupuncture points but at specific spinal nerve locations on the extremities and spinal sensory nerves has higher-order effects on the system. The effect of proper stimulus frequency on the system can activate thalamic electromagnetic integration centers, improving the messaging going up the central glial processing system.
My new method allows a stimulatory effect to occur at the quantum processing level of the thalamus, which has more profound healing implications. The spinal manipulation only activates the binary nervous system, activating nerve firing pathways. The effect of cold laser stimulus on the glial system improves the quantum processing system.
What is so amazing about normalizing the quantum processing of the glial system? It is the mechanism behind the successful treatment exhibited by modalities such as acupuncture. With cold lasers, it is more precise and I believe stronger than needle acupuncture. After my discovery, I discontinued acupuncture as a modality completely. I now view cold laser therapy to be enhancing messaging via the glial system to the thalamus by the same pathways as I did in functional chiropractic neurology. The only difference is the stimulus I use and the broader effect it can have on the system.
