NCR Newbie Q's...
DIR By: Matt91
Date: December 28, 2013, 8:37 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all.
Apologies for not introducing myself via the appropriate
sub-forum. Intermittent internet access at the mo, dictates. I
suppose that this post will function as an introduction of
sorts, anyway. If it turns out to be a long one, I'm sorry.
Basically, I have had longstanding difficulties pertaining to
processing information, working memory, attention, and
concentration. This has been evident from a very early age,
given some noticeable developmental aberrations; my walking was
delayed, for example, and I didn't crawl... just got up one day,
and started walking.
According to my mum, the obstetric nurses messed up the
application of the monitoring band during delivery, and, in the
blind panic as to the occurrence of possible hypoxia, I was
hastily delivered via forceps. Given that I am otherwise
perfectly healthy, and that my cognitive functioning is only
impaired in some areas, leads me to think that lack of oxygen
during the delivery wasn't the issue.
Having been formally assessed, there is a significant disparity
betwixt my Verbal IQ and Performance IQ figures (according to
the WAIS test that I took), indicative of impeded cognitive
functioning on the left side of the brain. I was also deemed
mildly dyspraxic as child, though it is likely that I wouldn't
be deemed such, anymore. My Working Memory is particularly
deficient; where my VIQ aspects were around the 140 mark, my WM
was around 90. My PIQ aspects are generally around 105-110, plus
or minus a few points depending, according to that IQ test, and
other more informal ones.
I left the world of academia prematurely and without fulfilling
anywhere near the potential I would have, if all was running
smoothly. Part of that was disillusionment and growing
frustration with 'the system' but a large part of it was
attributable to my problems. With gainful employment
increasingly scarce and competition increasing, especially where
I live, I would like to be able to study towards more advanced
qualifications in a chosen field, so as to make a living and not
be a burden/disappointment to my parents, but my problems get in
the way. Even my mum sometimes often makes comments, as others
do, like 'you just have to try harder', as though I can simply
force my way through what is a clear deficit in cognitive
functioning. As it isn't evident on appearance, and as I sound
so intelligent and capable, most people take my struggle for
'laziness', haughty arrogance, or carelessness.
BTW; my mum was pretty clued-up, regarding vaccines, and so I
have only had one, I think, and even that one was administered
later than usual and carefully considered, so I don't think
these difficulties are attributable to neurological damage via
'vaccine.'
I'm fully acquainted with all manner of information regarding
the catalogue of conspiracies going on, both within the sphere
of allopathic medicine and elsewhere, as I would imagine most
are, here.
To summarise, I believe the IQ disparity was caused by the
forceps birth, and the resultant subtle damage to my cranial
anatomy that resulted, inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal
fluid and thus, neurotransmitters, to the left side of the
brain.
My noggin isn't noticeably irregular from outside appearances,
but this seems the most plausible explanation.
Has anyone on this board any experience with NCR treatment and
alleviation/cessation of learning difficulties? Any advice or
possible insights?
I live in the South of England. I'm considering waiting for Dr.
D Howell's next visit to Ireland or London, but it's going to be
expensive, and very, very hard to convince my parents
(particularly dad). It is, of course, uncertain as to how many
treatments it'll take to have an effect, if any, and what degree
of effect, and so on.
Anyway, thanks for any help, and a special thanks to
'MessiahMews', as I had first come across 'NCR' on her blog.

Email a NCR doctor or call one and just ask them :). I have
heard progressions In everything that your talking about though
I can give you no references at the moment. It will help im sure
but sine your taking the first step into the world of all this,
be prepared for it to be a long journey to your goal but well
worth it. Definitely talk to an NCR specialist though even if
its one far away.

I have contacted one of Dr. Howell's representatives, through
his website. Apparently, substantial improvements in similar
issues have been observed before, but without seeing me in
person, they cannot assess my particular situation in detail,
naturally.
I'm fishing around for some supporting anecdotal evidence, from
independent NCR patients, who have seen a marked improvement in
their learning difficulties after treatment, because I really
don't want to part with so much cash only to find that it hasn't
made a difference, and nor do I want to keep paying out for
treatment after treatment.
In an ideal world, I would be entitled to sue the living
daylights out of those careless obstetricians who delivered me
like I was a pizza, instead of a fragile baby, but considering
that the allopaths pretty much maim and kill children with
impunity anyway, it's a moot point. Unfortunately.

Hey Matt, I can't say whether I've heard anyone improving in the
specific way you're describing, but I'm not at all discounting
it either. I mean no offense to Dr. Howell but the statement
they gave you was the generic one NCR specialists give
everyone... it's pretty meaningless. You do have to walk into
one of their clinics, and frankly most of them won't run proper
diagnostics - they can tell you what they've dealt with
experientially however -- but many of them have to deal with
liabilities surrounding scope of practice and can't give you
full answers or make any medical promises whatsoever. You'd need
to see someone like Dr. John Lieurance in Florida, or maybe Dr.
Howell himself. I'm sure both have seen many patients like you
in the past... it's just a very specific issue, and your theory
could actually be incorrect
By far the most likely thing that will improve from NCR relevant
to this is mental clarity. Brain fog is usually eliminated over
time, it won't go away all at once but can be significantly
improved...oftentimes people like me who had it their entire
lives didn't even realize it was there. Your whole world is just
sort of foggy, and it can be difficult to retrieve information -
working memory can be impaired.
If I were you, I'd give it a try: one session. You'll know in a
single session whether this actually helps you with mental
functioning. At that point you'll realize it's probably a long
road ahead of you for a full recovery, or you'll realize this
therapy is useless for your condition, but I wish you the best
and what you're trying to achieve is definitely achievable.

Thank you very much for your feedback, Ben.
My theory could well be incorrect, it's merely the most likely
explanation, to my mind, having closely examined the
circumstances and possible causal linkages.
My mother, having worked for some notable Big Pharma companies
in her time, was pretty careful with me, given the things she
was privy to. I didn't have any of the vaccines that the other
children had, and I believe that I was catered for properly,
nutritionally speaking, in addition to many visits throughout my
childhood to cranial osteopaths, homeopaths, naturopaths, and so
on.
To quote from Dr Howell's website...
'Learning disabilities are frequently treated with prescriptions
of Ritalin, a nervous system stimulant. The prevailing theory is
that neurotransmitter deficiency in the brain leads to
malfunctioning of the brain. The immediate solution is to
increase neurotransmitter levels throughout the brain with
Ritalin to correct the deficiency. This medication often helps,
but it does not cure. It increases the levels of some
neurotransmitters throughout the brain. The effectiveness of
Ritalin shows that learning disabilities are not psychological
but are, instead, conditions created by problems with nervous
system function. A nervous system stimulant like Ritalin works
by changing levels of neurotransmitters in the cerebrospinal
fluid in the brain. This means that inappropriate levels of
neurotransmitters in specialized areas of the brain cause
learning disabilities. When the brain lacks neurotransmitters in
some areas, concentration or interpretation of visual or
auditory phenomena is impaired. So increasing the level of these
neurotransmitters helps to temporarily get rid of the problem.
Then why doesn't everybody with learning disabilities take
Ritalin or some similar medication? The problem with
administration of Ritalin is the side effects, which are
generally symptoms associated with other areas of the brain
becoming overdosed with neurotransmitters. If some areas of the
brain improve function by increasing levels of
neurotransmitters, and if other areas of the brain get side
effects by increasing the same, there is a problem of
distribution, not a deficiency of neurotransmitters. So the
symptomatic treatment of learning disabilities with medication
that increases the level of neurotransmitters can never cure the
problem because it doesn't address the situation properly.
A cure of learning disabilities must include optimization of
fluid flow characteristics in the brain. With optimal flow of
blood and cerebrospinal fluid, learning disabilities improve or
cease.
The approach of NCRŽ is to improve the flow of cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF) by changing the shape of the skull. As the cranium
optimizes, the flow of CSF becomes more and more uniform,
removing the problem of poor distribution of the fluids in the
brain.'
This seems to be the most likely explanation, for my case.
If I opt to go ahead, I will probably go in for a session with
Dr Howell himself, when/if he returns to the UK/Eire at some
point in the coming year. A friend of mine suggested
'craniosacral therapy' but given the above, I'm not convinced
that it would do anything, in my case.
I think that most people who are diagnosed with 'ADD' or
similar, simply take the drugs as prescribed. From my
experience, some of them do report a certain degree of benefit,
though studies have illustrated that the stimulants have pretty
much the same effect on those without ADD, and it just doesn't
address the crux of the problem.
A four-day treatment session with Dr Howell in Dublin (new
patient) runs at 1300 USD, or at least it did, earlier this
year.
Hmmm...

Matt. It's worth a try if you can afford it. Health is worth
almost anything.
Living in England gives you the option to either see Mr.Patient
zero himself in Manchestet (Ian) or one of the endo nasal baloon
chiropractors that follow the ABC protocol residing in the south
of england. Check advanced biostructural correction.
I'd meet with Ian first, seeing as he is a former patient of
Dr.Howell and has made his way back from a horrible state.

Thanks, Knoppe.
I had heard of Ian Hedley from my internet research.
I've found 'ianhedley1@hotmail.co.uk' as his email address. I'll
try to contact him.
Are there any details available for this ABC guy/gal?
How common are negative results/effects from cranial
restructuring? Every alternative health modality comes under
attack by the prevailing allopathic orthodoxy; the more fringe,
the more vicious the attack, no matter the empirical evidence.
Accordingly, CR receives a lot of ridicule, as you all are
probably aware. I've long since learned to ignore these attacks.
That said, there are some negative accounts on the web, of NCR,
and not just the two well-known deaths. It's impossible to
absolutely verify the honesty of the source, of course, and
whether they are just fabricated attacks by the usual suspects.
I've learned the hard way that these pretended 'skeptics' can be
pretty damn underhanded and deceitful.
What is the balance of experience on here of NCR?
Strange thing is, (not bragging, but...) I've actually got a
pretty handsome, angular, and symmetrical face... it's one of my
saving graces, in light of my problem. There are a few minor
asymmetries in structure, like my brow ridge is slightly more
pronounced on one side, but generally, I look alright.
I still think that my learning issues are attributable to a
structural issue, unless anyone can offer a more likely
explanation. Trying to be as objective as possible, here. I'm
sure that some of the allopaths would argue that 'ADD' can be
genetic, but that's generally just the argument they use to
cover up their ignorance/denial of causative factors that
suggest purposeful deception by the various appointed
figureheads, 'experts' and authorities.
Anyway, thanks for the help, everybody. It is appreciated.
God bless you, one and all.

Yeah. I stoped listening to others and started making up my own
mind when it comes to these things.
How's your dental occlusion? Maybe your face is ok but your
teeth would need aligning? How about nutrition? Gluten/wheat
intolerance or any similar intolerance? Endocrine problems like
thyroid or such? Fungae/candida?
I know that the brain for me is caused by the TMD. It started at
the same time I got tinnitus and jaw pains. My whole head feels
squashed and I'm concidered handsomeish (if you ask others, I
hate my uneven face).
There are a lot of possible reasons. Start turning stones, man!

No, no known problems along those lines, as far as I know.
Dental occlusion seems fine. I've got a very slight overbite,
but apart from that, no problems. Nutritionally, I probably
could be making more of an effort, but I don't drink or smoke,
avoid sodium fluoride and artificial sweeteners, and I keep my
bodily pH in check through bioelectrification; known
colloquially as 'zapping.'
My learning difficulty has been evident from a very young age,
which is why I somewhat discount the possibility that it is
attributable to neurological damage acquired later, and, as
mentioned, my mum was pretty much anti-vax from the beginning,
so it wasn't vaccine damage.
I've got a fairly typical Northern/Western European facial
structure. When I lift my hair up, a slight, gradual angular
depression on the left side of the upper forehead is visible,
just below the hairline, when compared to the right side, but
you wouldn't notice unless you were examining closely.
Although I obviously can't remember my own delivery, it was
apparently a pretty traumatic/rushed forceps. I used to cry a
lot, as a child, and there is evidence that it was linked to
some cranial problem, somehow. Seeing the cranial osteopath
would apparently stop the crying and send me to sleep. My mother
was just sneered at, when she reported as much to the mainstream
docs.
On that note what the hell is wrong with the freaks in the
medical fields nowadays? The internet is jam-packed with stories
consistently illustrating the utter lack of care, compassion,
and competence of those working in allopathic medicine. It's
almost a requirement.
I can't stand all of the pop culture adulation that MD's and the
like receive... they certainly don't earn it, any more than they
earn their monster salaries.
Even myopia is a big scam. The vast majority of it is easily
preventable. Unless it is congenital or caused by trauma,
short-sightedness can be preempted through the use of plus
lenses, particularly before pseudomyopia sets in.
We live in a world of lies and liars.

I'm not so in to cranial discrepancies, I'm more into
occlusional problems seeing as I myself suffer from a bad bite.
How're your dental arches? Wide and U-shaped or narrowmand
V-shaped?
Nutrition and hormonal balances? Have you checked your thyroid
levels?
There are many, many rocks to turn over. I'd try NCR out and if
you can't feel any differance, I'd try checking into nutrition.
Hell, I advoce anyone and everyone to stay the hell away from
grains. It made a whole difference to me. I've been gluten/grain
free for a year and my belly's soooo much better. Grains may
make you deppressed.
