Letter to Editor against CS Findings in Children Research and JEU response

John E. Upledger
Curriculums:
In this letter to the editor, Dr. John E Upledger responds to the srticle by Dr. Northup: "The relationship of craniosacral examination findings in grade school children with developmental problems" (JAOA 77:760-76, June 1978) by John E. Upledger failed to meet the normal standards of research design necessary to a scientific paper.

The relationship of craniosacral examination findings in grade school children with developmental problems

John E. Upledger, DO, FAAO
Curriculums:
The conclusion of this article: 1. The use of standardized quantifiable craniosacral motion examination represents a practical approach to the study of relationships between craniosacral motion restrictions and a variety of health problems which may or may not be related to the central nervous function. 2. In general, the accuracy of school authorities' opinions which classify children as "normal" or "not normal" are supported by these data points. 3. The probabilities calculated support the existence of a positive relationship between elevated total craniosacral motion restriction scores and classification of "not normal," "behavioral problems," and "learning disabled" by school authorities, and motor coordination problems, as diagnosed by the MSU Motor Coordination Clinic. 4. There is a positive relationship between an elevated total craniosacral motion restriction score and a history of an obstetrically complicated delivery. 5. The total quantitative craniosacral motion restriction score is most positively related to those children presenting with multiple problems.

The Reproducibility of Craniosacral Examination Findings: A Statistical Analysis

Upledger, John E.
Curriculums:
The reproducibility of craniosacral examination findings - a statistical analysis Abstract: A statistical analysis of the data derived from 50 craniosacral examinations on 25 preschool children is presented. These data would seem to support the reliability and reproducibility of the examination findings when the examinations are performed by skilled examiners. During all 50 examinations, the rate of the cranial rhythmical impulse (CRI) was counted and compared with the pulse and respiratory rates of both the subject and the examiner. The results of this comparison would tend to help establish the CRI as an independent physiologic rhythm. A single-blind protocol was employed. All reasonable precautions were taken to control variables. Author: Upledger, John E.

Bioelectric Phenomena in Relation to Neural Function

Roppel and Upledger
Curriculums:
Briefly describes the hypothesis deducted from the attempts to develop " a unifying view in which a number of bioelectric manifestations may be understood as expressions of more fundamental processes," thus leading to a practical explanation of the mode of action of peripheral-stimulation therapies.

Applications of Lymph Drainage Therapy For Dental Surgery and Mercury Toxicity

Arlene Garcia, LMT
Curriculums:
Arlene Garcia, LMT presents a case study using LDT to help a woman with severe swelling, bruising and severe jaw and ear pain due to complications from dental surgery and mercury toxicity. With 3 LDT treatments the face and pain was reported to be 90% better and bruising was eliminated.

Age changes in the human frontozygomatic suture from 20 to 95 years.

AM J Orthod
Curriculums:

The frontozygomatic suture of human cadaver material was examined by a combination of histologic, radio graphic, and gross techniques to determine the aging changes in the suture and the approximate age at which sutural fusion occurs.
