                 About The Bio Cranial System

The Bio Cranial System has finally unlocked the connection between the head and our health,
at just about every level. It is therefore probably one of the most significant advances in
healthcare delivery to have taken place in many years. But let's go back to the beginning.

Many years ago an American Osteopathic physician, Dr. William Garner Sutherland, discovered
that there was a movement of the bones of the head (cranium) - of which there are 22 in
number - and that this involuntary movement takes place throughout life. It is like a rhythmic
opening and closing which takes place around the joints between the bones. Small groups of
followers have variously attempted to determine what significance this all had, and with
differing degrees of success. Until now, that is. During the 1970's and '80's, Dr. Robert Boyd, a
UK based Osteopath carried out his own research and finally came up with the answer that all
had been looking for. This research demonstrated that, not only were practically all of us
"injured" at birth and before - and this is a story in itself - but that these "injuries" impacted
dramatically on the level at which our bodies function throughout life. For example, if we take
the nervous system alone, none of us is operating at the level we should be. And since this
major system is involved in almost every physiological process such as how other systems
and organs function - muscular, circulatory, gastrointestinal, hormonal, kidneys, heart, liver
uterus and so on - you can see that we are at the very core of how we tick.

There were two other very important discoveries made by Dr. Boyd. One was that the
distorted, torqued or warped pattern of the cranial bones resulted in compensatory
“distortion” – misalignment – of the spinal bones and that this misalignment of the spine is
almost always the follow on from the cranial end, to which the spine is joined, of course. But
the even more important discovery was that there was a particular anatomical alignment of the
cranial bones, in total, in which we should all be – only one – if the involuntary movement is to
function properly. To discover this and to be able to correct it has undoubtedly been Dr.
Boyd’s great contribution to health restoration.

You see, health levels are almost always determined by the presence or absence of
symptoms. Dr. Boyd has shown that this is wholly incorrect. He has shown that we are all
ticking along at a level of function, often far below what it should, and can, be and yet most of
the time, without identifiable symptoms. Symptoms arise later, are often “triggered” by some
event, but essentially “take hold” primarily because of the inherent weakness in the system
caused by the cranial “flaw”. What needs to be corrected, no matter what else, is the cranial
(and therefore spinal) status of the patient in order to restore maximum function to the
system. The Bio Cranial System therefore addresses people who are dysfunctioning – the total
person – and not diseases or disease names. It is probably the most holistic system in
existence for this reason.

For simplicity sake, however, we recognize, that names of symptoms mean something to most
people and below we list a number of these for which Bio Cranial has been found to be
helpful. The list is far from exhaustive:

Acne                                                                 Headaches (including Migraine)

Acne Rosacea                                                 Hiatal Hernia

Angina                                                              Injuries (various)

Asthma                                                             Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Autism                                                              Meniere's Syndrome (Balance disorders)

Back Pain                                                         Menstrual disorders

Bell's Palsy                                                       Neck pain

Cerebral Palsy                                                  Neuralgias

Colitis                                                                Palpitations

Children's Disorders (ADHD, etc.)                 Parkinsonism

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)                  Petit Mal (Epilepsy)

Crohn's Disease                                               Phobias

Cystitis                                                              Prolapses

Dysmenorrhea                                                  Prostate conditions

Diverticulitis                                                     Psoriasis

Eczema                                                              Sleeping disturbances

Endometriosis                                                  Sciaticas

Emphysema                                                      Sports injuries

Fibromyalgia                                                    Tinnitus (ear noises)

Gastric Ulcer                                                    Varicosity

Goiter                                                                Varicose ulcers

Hay Fever                                                         Vertigo

We re-emphasize that the names of symptoms are no more than descriptions of the pattern of
dysfunction in the system. It is imperative to begin to focus on the underlying weaknesses
which finally permitted the onset of the symptoms.
