● The spinal cord carries energy from the brain, through the spine like a river to ALL the vital organs, tissues and cells of the body.
● Each cell is TOTALLY DEPENDENT on that energy to stay alive and healthy.

Normal Brain FunctionNormal Brain FunctionAs long as the cerebellum is receiving the proper amount of nerve input there will be sufficient nerve input to the frontal lobes of the brain…
…The brain lobes will be able to send sufficient nerve input to the lower brain stem which will keep the mesencephalon from over-firing

If one side of the cerebellum is not receiving the proper amount of nerve input it cannot send the proper amount of nerve input to the frontal lobe of the brain…
…the frontal lobes then cannot send the proper amount of nerve input to the lower brainstem which will not be able to keep the mesencephalon from over-firing

How Did all this happen?• Chemical• Physical
• Emotional Trauma causes a decrease
in the brain’s “Frequency of Firing”
Symptoms Resulting From a Disruption Symptoms Resulting From a Disruption in the Brain’s Electrical Vitality:in the Brain’s Electrical Vitality:
Brain Imbalance resulting in anOveractive Mid-Brain (Mesencephalon)
• Chronic pain & Chronic Fatigue• Migraine headaches & light sensitivity• Blurred vision• Increased sweating• Difficulty falling or staying asleep• Heart palpitations, increased heart rate• Irritable Bowel Syndrome• Urinary tract infections• High blood pressure• Fibro Fog or Flu-like symptoms
Other Areas of Brain Malfunction• Episodes of depression/anxiety• Difficulty scanning pages while reading• Difficulty adding or subtracting• Difficulty expressing what you want to say• Difficulty understanding what others say to you• Loss of short or long term memory• Loss of sensation (numbness)• Changes in handwriting• More irritable or angry• Problems with balance, tripping or dropping things• Learning disabilities: dyslexia, ADD, ADHD

Fibromyalgia Does Not Fibromyalgia Does Not Get Better By ItselfGet Better By Itself
• The longer you have Brain deficiencies the faster your brain dies. The Journal of Neuroscience reports that the McGill University Centre for Research on pain has found; “The longer the individual has had fibromyalgia, the greater the gray matter loss, with each year of fibromyalgia being equivalent to 9.5 times the loss in normal aging”. In addition it is estimated that 30-60% of patients diagnosed with Brain-Based problems become disabled to the degree they cannot remain gainfully employed…and that is with the myriad of medications prescribed.
NeuroplasticityNeuroplasticity… “Of all the finds, though, one is rewriting the textbooks. It is the dawning realization that a brain older than three years old is not the rigid structure that scientists long thought, but a malleable, ‘plastic’ organ”... “But a flood of discoveries show that the brain continually reorganizes itself. It’s called ‘neuroplasticity.’ And it means that “you create your brain from the input you get”
