Osteopathy Is in the Blood is perfused with osteopathic wisdom. This important work presents new and perhaps unexpected knowledge about the blood and vascular system of vital importance to bodily function. Drawing upon cutting-edge science, biodynamic embryology, and perceptive insight, it presents a wealth of information to guide new approaches to treatment.
Many concepts, key to understanding how the cardiovascular system and movement of the blood works, are presented utilizing extensive visual aids and supporting research. A few of the key concepts expounded in the book are:
The heart is a generator; the heart is not a pump. Blood is attracted to its destination by the nutritional needs of the tissues. Vortical flow and structured (EZ) water play crucial roles in propelling the blood. There are important embryologic underpinnings of the structure and function of the system. The transfer of information from the blood into the extracellular matrix/interstitium and cells involves the Traube-Hering pressure wave, ionic-electromotive factors, gel-sol phase shifting, and a calcium flux.
The book draws on and synthesises the work of many innovative scientific thinkers, including Viktor Schauberger, Gerald Pollack, Francisco Torrent Guasp, Bjorn Nordenstrom, Irving Dardik, and Brian Freeman.
This text is aimed at integrating scientific principles with osteopathic practice, opening doors to very real and successful clinical applications. These present-day scientific discoveries also serve to explain what practitioners feel, sense, experience, and work with in their osteopathic treatments. The inspiring thoughts and theories offered reveal completely new therapeutic possibilities for osteopaths to work with in the cardiovascular system and throughout the body.
The book documents and supports the scientific basis of the profound insights that Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy, described 120 years ago. The research demonstrates that the founding principles of osteopathy are fully backed up by modern scientific understanding.
Osteopathy Is in the Blood is an invaluable reference text for all osteopaths, and it also serves as an essential companion to The Rule of the Artery courses offered around the globe. Studying these concepts will challenge osteopaths to think more deeply about and work more effectively with the blood and circulation, which is fundamental to exploring the full potential of all that osteopathy has to offer in the enhancement of health in our patients.
