T1 – Coronary Syndrome (2)

Welcome to the second part of a 3-part article on coronary syndrome. Historically, DeJarnette’s first written report on visceral work dates back to the first edition 1933, entitled “Reflex Pain.”

Six years later “Technique and Practice of Bloodless Surgery” – 1939 – was produced and presented as a fairly complete work of the time. During the 1940s and 50s, two seminar series each year saw the publication of the DeJarnette Sacro Occipital work and the abdominal technique work, the latter being the forerunner of today’s CMRT.

For example, the publications of 1942 were entitled:
a) Sacro Occipital Convention notes and answer series – SOT – and
b) Bloodless Surgery compend abdominal technic notes. This yearly ‘twinning up’ of the two areas of study continued until 1958. There was a break on the focus and study of ‘abdominal technic’ until the years 1965 and 1966 when two epic works were published: 1) TS Research Project, 1965 and 2) CMRT, 1966.

The 1966 notes are the gold standard and it is this work (reprinted in 1981) that is taught at SOT seminars around the world today, including at our yearly SOTO A/Asia seminars in the various capital cities. Incidentally, with the visceral work completed, DeJarnette turned to the teaching and publishing of cranial work.

From 1968 to 1979, the “twinning” of publications each year were the SOT notes and Cranial notes; for example, SOT 1975 and Cranial Technique 1975. This practice continued until 1979 with the last pairing of publications. From 1980 to 1984 only the single SOT notes were published.

Reflexwork (Dr . Rees’procedure)

In this second part (of the 3-part article) we will add some procedures developed by Dr. DeJarnette’s good friend, Dr. Mel Rees. Dr. Rees, you may recall, did further development of DeJarnette’s Temporal Sphenoidal (TS) line from 1965.

In 1965, DeJarnette held a seminar attended by 123 SOT doctors concerning the Temporal Sphenoidal Analysis. DeJarnette had observed and reported something happening and invited the field practitioners to take part in this region. One practitioner (of the 123) took up the challenge to a great extent and that was Dr. Mel Rees of Sedan, Kansas.

One of this project’s objectives in its avenue of investigation was “to determine and chart areas upon the temporal-sphenoidal perimeter that affected specific viscera”. (Introduction CH. P2. 1965)

Dr Rees mapped the TS points, correlating them to the Dorsal and Lumbar spinal levels (there is a whole lot more work needed on the TS study).

We have included DeJarnette’s objectives for this work at the end of this article so you can gain an appreciation of the work). Dr. Rees’ TS and Bloodless Surgery papers were published in the 1972-74 editions of the SORSI despatcher.

We offer them as additional moves you may wish to include in your armamentarium of CMRT T1 procedures. Do they do anything to enhance the CMRT work or are they procedures that burn up a lot more clinic time? This question was posed in a Sacro Occipital Technic (SOT) forum in 2006. You be the judge. We have added another question – can Rees’ procedure be applied without the use of glandulars (we discussed these in Part 1, suggesting the difficulty of using these in Australia or New Zealand, as they are not readily available here, amongst other objections)?

On the subject of T1 Bloodless Surgery and the coronary syndrome, Dr. Rees writes: “Patient Presentation “The impending doom is common to patients who present with the problem of constriction of the coronary arteries. This patient’s thought pattern is: ‘I’m scared something is going to happen to me.’”

Rees’ initial procedure has two contact points:

  1. TS T1 contact point – in the side skull picture, you see the T1 (coronary) indicator pointed out on the temporal sphenoidal ring.
  2. Receptor block area for T1 – On the mannequin, you see the temporal sphenoidal contact area for cybernetic control of the coronary syndrome.
    You will recognise this as your post-ganglionic hold contacts area from CMRT, also known as the Receptor block area for T1 or the heart entrance point. (Area over Xiphoid – Diagram 1)

SOT_t1_dia1Procedure

  1. The first action is to palpate the TS ring on both sides, at the T1 point.
    If the TS ring is active on one side only, it is likely that a nutritional correction will clean up the coronary. Even if it is a bilateral TS T1, the first step is a specific nutrient to see if the coronary is so controlled.
  2. If chewing up a tablet of Cardio-plus cleared up the reflex areas in 20 seconds this is a mild coronary, you proceed directly to the last step which is known as the ‘REM Alpha Wave enhancer’ step.

There is a 2nd outcome to the 20-second test with the cardio-plus glandular and a further procedure to do. Thus, if chewing up a tablet of cardio plus cleared only part of the body reflexes in 20 seconds then you must balance the Central Nervous System by “Re-zeroing” it through the entrance points (those two we described at the start i.e. TS T1 point and xiphoid point).

The Coronary insufficiency reflex areas – you will recall from your CMRT study – are:

  1. pain at the edge of the eyebrow (TS T1),
  2. a throat constriction that won’t clear up,
  3. pain at the back of the central clavicle,
  4. anterior left shoulder pain,
  5. pain at the xiphoid entrance point,
  6. pain under the left costal arch,
  7. pain at the left thenar and
  8. pain below the umbilicus and to each side that radiates to the low back.

Some or all of these areas will be present. (Diagram 2)

SOT_T1_dia2We know from Chiropractic lore about the story of the patient who goes to the doctor for a physical and gets a clean bill of health and dies of a heart attack the next day. The point is that the patient may not always present as a classic coronary patient, but may present with a left shoulder problem or a low back pain.

Mark the tender areas for awareness

Dr. Rees’ procedure was to use a felt pen and mark the reflex areas. It is fairly subjective when you are working with painful or tender reflex areas.
Dr. Rees suggested to make certain both you and the patient know the areas are tender as both you and the patient must know when these areas are controlled.

TS CNS Balancing Technique

To restore the central nervous system’s “base line”, two additional steps are performed before proceeding to the last step, “Alpha wave REM enhancer“. (Diagram 3)
SOT_T1_dia3“Re-zero the Base Line”

  • Have the patient hold their right arm up with a clenched fist (similar to the arm fossa test position).
  • Hold the TS T1 master point on the T.S. ring with the left index finger and push footward on the arm. If the arm gives, you have to “re-zero the nervous system“.
  • “Re-zero the Base Line” – You hold down pressure on the right arm of your patient as you pull headward at the coronary entrance point.

Note: This is probably a new concept to our “Expression” reader so we will describe it some more with the two steps and some simple neurology rationale for the procedure.

Dr Rees had a formal name for this technique which was the “Temporal Sphenoidal Central Nervous System Balancing Technique”. Dr Rees commonly called this “re-zeroing the base line”. The idea being that the chiropractor was performing a similar action to someone pressing the trip meter button in their car and bringing it back to zero.

This is a technique which energises the Reticular Activating System in the brainstem to re-programme the lost alpha wave pathway at both the entrance point (xiphoid) and the tempero-sphenoidal output point.

Sitting (or standing) to patient’s right at the head of the table.

Step 1 – Energizing needed?

  1. With your left hand push footward on the patient’s extended arm
  2. Your right hand uses deep contact at the entrance point (xiphoid) and pulls the tissue headward.
  3. If the arm is weak, you have the patient chew up one neurotrophin to strengthen it so it can be used in the energizing technique.

Step 2 – Reprogramming the upper pathway?

  1. Right hand pushes footward now on the patient’s extended arm.
  2. Your left index finger contacts the TS T1 master point on the TS line.
  3. If the arm weakens, you then reverse the footward push to a headward pull on the arm.

“Rem Alpha Wave Enhancer” / “Biological Shunt”

Just as the Temporal Sphenoidal central nervous system rebalancing technique proved too much of a mouthful and became known as “re-zeroing the base line”. The Temporal Sphenoidal REM alpha wave enhancer technique was simply called “the biological shunt”.

The ‘biological shunt’ is the last step in the TS Technic (short form) and is a retraining step to teach the circuits how to find a lost path from the TS output point to the abdominal entrance point

(Brief physiological notes: the four types of brain waves are, slowest to quickest, delta (deep sleep), theta (drowsiness), alpha (relaxed, conscious, alert) and beta (adult, waking consciousness – most of the time).

  1. The supine patient is asked to close his eyes, then to look upward inside his eyelids like he was trying to see inside his forehead.
    This quickly sets up a rapid eye motion. When the eyes flutter, alpha wave production has started. This REM part of the technique is simply a reproduction of what happens during sleep when the body produces alpha waves. (If you hooked up the patient to an oscilloscope it would show an alpha wave production build-up to about eight times amplification during this simple manoeuvre.)
  2. The doctor places his left hand index finger on the TS T1 point and his right hand finger tip on the corresponding Abdominal Entrance Point.
  3. As REM occurs and alpha wave production builds up, the doctor can feel it. Doctor’s finger contacts feel stingy hot; his face and ear lobes feel hot. He is a biological shunt for alpha waves from TS T1 output to Abdominal Entrance Point.
  4. At this time the patient is advised to continue to look upward, the doctor then removes his finger contacts and leave the room. Two minutes are sufficient to retrain innate as to the location of the lost entrance point pathway. This completes the preparatory work.

The Full Rees Series of T1 Procedures

In the procedure we just outlined, one would find three stages of coronary insufficiency.

  1. The patient who chewed up a Cardio-Plus and had all the reflex areas as marked clear up, is a mild coronary patient. Go straight onto the ‘Biological Shunt’.
    Dr Rees then suggested this patient take 2 tablets of Cardio-Plus with meals over a four week period. This is the easy-outcome patient with a very positive prognosis.
  2. The second type of patient responds only partly. This patient requires a ‘Re-zero the Base Line’ and a ‘Biological Shunt’.
  3. The third type of patient is the one who does not respond to the glandular and this person needs to receive the full series of Rees adjustments, which we will now discuss. It is a 15-minute procedure, so, yes, if you are time-conscious as most SOT practitioners become, it may be an issue. Let’s first list each of the 10 steps and then we will discuss their procedure and merit.

Rees Adjustments ten steps

  1. TS Cybernetic feedback.
  2. Thenar Squeeze dilation.
  3. Left Costal arch technique.
  4. Push-pull diaphragm technique.
  5. Phrenic-vagus Clavicular technique.
  6. PAS (pulmonary artery segment) ventilation technique.
  7. Costal Sternal constriction technique.
  8. Aortic throat constriction technique.
  9. Cardiac McBurney point technique.
  10. Pre-ganglionic technique.

Step 1 – TS Cybernetic Feedback. This is a holding contact which is similar to the procedure we have just discussed (of holding the TS T1 point and receptor area), except we do not have the patient’s eyes closed invoking REM and alpha waves.

  1. The doctor holds the TS T1 major with one finger and the other contact made is the Receptor block area of T1.
    The effect the doctor is going for is a slowing, calming hold. The holding is a pain control procedure that enables you to make the following procedures more comfortable.

Step 2 – Thenar Squeeze Technique. Now you do the Thenar Squeeze Technique to dilate the coronary artery constrictions.

  1. You squeeze the patient’s left thenar tightly while he opens and closes his hand at a slow cadence as your other hand is placed over the heart.
    This brings an anterior coronary soft pulse picture to normal in one minute or less. A posterior coronary is much more difficult to normalize.

(Remember from your CMRT notes:
– Proximal Thenar = posterior coronary insufficiency, usually due to physical exertion.
– Distal Thenar = anterior coronary insufficiency brought on by emotional stress).

Step 3 – Left Costal arch technique. This technique is now used to remove emotional stress. All coronary insufficiency patients are scared – they sense impending doom.

  1. Remove the costal arch tension set up by emotions before it aggravates the heart problem. Contact up under the arch with both hands, break up nodules you find (1 min).

Step 4 – Push-Pull technique. This procedure works through the diaphragm to the apex of the heart to resuscitate it.  You have just finished relaxing the tissues under the left costal arch.

  1. Push your right fingers up under the left costal arch tissues as your left hand is placed over the patient’s left shoulder.
    Your shoulder contact pushes tissues toward T1, as your costal contact pushes those tissues towards the left shoulder. You repeat this slowly for one minute (1 min).

Step 5 – Phrenic-Vagus clavicular technique. This technique is used to free circulation to the lung field. This step is a must if you have a posterior coronary causing back pressure in the pulmonary artery system (PAS).
Stand at the head of your supine patient. (Diagram 4)

  1. SOT_T1_dia4Work your fingers under the clavicle from the top side so you have a good purchase on the bone. This is painful – so slow and easy.
  2. Grasp the same side arm at the elbow. Now you pull the clavicle with about five pounds pressure toward the ceiling as you make five complete circles with the arm and shoulder girdle.
  3. Repeat on the opposite side (1 min).

Step 6 – Phrenic-Vagus | ‘PAS ventilation technique’.  This technique is applied to free up the pulmonary artery segment and free the flow of the right atrium of the heart.

  1. Lay both hands flat on the upper chest covering as much rib cage as you can.
  2. Have the patient take a deep breath and exhale all the way out.
  3. As the patient exhales, you do a series of sharp little thrusts on the rib cage in the direction of the patient’s buttocks (1 min).

Step 7 – Costal sternal tension xiphoid technique. This relieves the heart at the costal sternal border.

  1. Press inward and headward at the Receptor block area for T1 for a slow count to 10. Then relax.
  2. Repeat this performance five times for the total time of one minute.
    This relieves the heart at its costal sternal border.

Step 8 – Aortic throat constriction technique. This technique is also known as the ‘Common Iliac Technique’ or the ‘Left psoas  upper technique’. This is used in a line from the umbilicus to the anterior iliac spine; your contact point is on this line 10 cm. from the umbilicus (it is like McBurney’s point, but on the left, an area that older anatomical nomenclatures termed the “Valves of Houston”).

  1. Using both your hands at this Abdominal Entrence Point, go in deeply with your finger tips using gradually increasing pressure.
  2. This contact once gained is now moved toward the left shoulder as if to tuck it under the costal area.
  3. Repeat this manoeuvre five times.

Step 9 – Cardiac McBurney’s Point reflex technique. This is a holding technique.

  1. You simply hold a left hand contact over the left shoulder as you hold a flat hand contact over McBurney’s point for two minutes.

Step 10 – Pre-ganglionic Technique – We should say, modified Pre-ganglionic technique.

  1. Rees’ approach was to contact that tender embryological point in the middle of the sternum and do ten quick clockwise circles to reestablish the motor arc.

And there you have it! None of the procedures of the work are too complex. You can say this is the case with all of the TS work and CMRT work. The procedures are not complicated, but there is a lot to remember. It appears overwhelming to the neophyte.

Final word

We have introduced the Bloodless Surgery and TS work of Dr. Mel Rees of Sedan, Kansas. The techniques were Dr Rees’variation. He learned the older Bloodless Surgery work from Dr. Brian Surtees when he was at Chiropractic college, so some of the procedures may have been developed or adapted from the earlier methods of DeJarnette.

In the next part of this article, we will discuss some DeJarnette procedures that don’t receive a lot of notice in the modern era (and we mean to change that).
