5 Factors of the IVF Nerve

– Subluxation

– Muscle Spindle Cell

– Golgi Tendon Organ

– Nutrition Neurolymphatic Reflex Neurovascular Reflex Acupuncture Meridian Connector Cerebrospinal Fluid (Craniosacral)

5 Factors of the IVF

A CHECKLIST– Nerve - Essentially SUBLUXATION– Neurolymphatic Reflex - NL– Neurovascular Reflex - NV– Acupuncture Meridian Connector - AMC– Cerebrospinal Fluid (Craniosacral) - CSF

“Nerve” Factor

Subluxation Find it?

– TL = It’s there– Challenge = L.O.C.

Another “Nerve” Factor, MSC / GTO Very Low on priority List

– Muscle Spindle Cell– Golgi Tendon Organ

• Check these only if nothing else shows up

– EXCEPTION:• Involved often in direct trauma

Neurolymphatic Reflexes

Frank Chapman, D.O.– 1930’s

Treated Diseases– Specific Points for Specific Organs

Theory– Stimulates Lymphatic Flow– Through the Organ– Through the Related Muscle

Neurolymphatic Reflexes - Signs & Symptoms TL - Of course Usually quite tender 3cm area - Some larger Palpable

Neurolymphatic Reflexes - Correction Circular Massage with deep pressure Approximately 20-30 seconds More pressure = Less time

When are they treated enough?

WEAK muscle– TL reflex = Strong– TX reflex = Usually

Strong• 51%-er?

– Re-TL:• Strong = DONE• Weak = Continue TX

STRONG muscle– TL reflex = Weak– TX reflex = Still

Strong• 51%-er?

– Re-TL:• Strong = DONE• Weak = Continue TX

Neurovascular Reflexes

Terence Bennet, D.C.– Early 20th Century

Treated Diseases– Specific Points for Specific Organs

Theory– Stimulates Vascular Flow

• Through the Organ• Through the Related Muscle

Neurovascular Reflexes - Signs & Symptoms TL - Of course

Neurovascular Reflexes - Correction Light Touch Tug

– In a direction Hold 20 seconds AFTER a pulsation is

felt– Usually 30-40 seconds– Could be many minutes

When are they treated enough?

See NL above

George Goodheart

Related the above techniques to muscle tests

The reflexes strengthened specific muscles

When TL was discovered in 1973, TL to the reflexes would strengthen specific muscles

Acupuncture Meridian Connector

The 4th Factor of the IVF

…of the IVF?

Bladder Meridian - Page 257 Longest Meridian Located with the Spine Associated Points

Associated Points - Page 276

On Bladder Meridian Generally Segmental

Acupuncture vs. Meridian Therapy Chi = Life Force Flows through the meridians Blockage causes symptoms Acupuncture = just ONE way to

stimulate the points!

5 Factor Protocol & AMC

Have an Associated Muscle TL Alarm Point

– Strong = Involved– Weak = Not Involved

Find Tonification Point– From chart

Tap Tonification Point– 15 to 20 times

Cerebrospinal Fluid

The 5th Factor of the IVF

…of the IVF?

CSF in the dural sleeve Actually means

– CRANIOSACRAL SYSTEM– “Craniosacral Therapy”

• Upledger• SOT• Craniopathy - Osteopathic

Primary Respiratory Mechanism

Sullivan, D.O. 1930’s Pumping of the CSF Can be affected by thoracic

RESPIRATION

Using the CSF Factor

Can check Cranial Faults with Indicator:– Challenge bones in specific directions

Can check with an Associated Muscle:– Patient takes DEEP breath and HOLDS it– Patient exhales FULLY and HOLDS it

Interpretation

Indicator WEAKENS Associated Muscle STRENGTHENS Tells Dr. if a cranial fault is causing

weakness!

Inspiration Assist Fault - Analysis Patient’s deep inspiration changes

muscle Challenge generally P-A on mastoid

– May require specific vector– 3-4 pounds of pressure

Inspiration Assist Fault - Correction Generally, P-A on mastoid

– May require specific vector– 3-4 pounds of pressure

4-6 Repetitions– 6-8 second inspiration

Expiration Assist Fault - Analysis

Patient’s deep expiration changes muscle

Challenge generally A-P on mastoid– May require specific vector– 3-4 pounds of pressure

Expiration Assist Fault - Correction Generally, A-P on mastoid

– May require specific vector– 3-4 pounds of pressure

4-6 Repetitions– 6-8 second expiration

5 Factors Protocol

FIRST, Find ALL the problems!– 5 Factors = A Checklist

SECOND, Correct the problems.– Some go down the list

!PARKER PLUS!

Cranial Subluxation(Nerve) AMC NL / NV

Here’s the deal,

When you correct the first factor – which ever it is,

The associated muscle becomes strong!– Almost all the time

BUT, it could be a 51%-er! Must go back and recheck the other

factors that you found earlier!

“But First…”

RECHECK what you just corrected Is it completely corrected?

The Recheck

Now Associated Muscle is STRONG TL or challenge as before If you corrected it = stays STRONG If not completely corrected = becomes

WEAK

To Recheck Other Factors:

Now Associated Muscle is STRONG TL or challenge next positive factor as

before If other factor still involved = becomes

WEAK Other factors may have corrected =

stays STRONG

Circulation of Energy

Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen & Heart

Small Intestine, Bladder, Kidney, Circulation Sex

Triple Heater, Gall Bladder, Liver

Muscle / Meridian Relationship

Pulse Diagnosis - 275 Alarm Points - 274 Relate to Specific muscles

– That relate to the SAME organs!

Using the Meridian System

Can check Chi balance with Indicator:– TL Pulse Points– TL Alarm Points

Can check with an Associated Muscle:– TL Alarm Points– Tells Dr. if meridian system is causing

weakness!
