A Must Watch on the Science Behind CranioSacral Therapy!
Michael Morgan's talk begins by looking at what differentiates brains of "normal" patients and those of patients suffering from senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's patients seem to "clog up" the brain, shrinking the brain and significantly decreasing the flow of cerebral spinal fluid, which among other things, carries toxins out of the brain. Researchers have found that it is this buildup of plaque, and the shrinkage of the brain that accompanies it, which causes memory loss of Alzheimer's Disease. What causes these two things? The inflammation of the brain over time. Recent research has shown, however, that Alzheimer's patients who have made changes to their diet, exercised regularly, and undergone regular CranialSacral Therapy have regained previously lost memories. Michael Morgan offers these three elements (diet, exercise, and regular CST) as both treatment for, and preventative regime against, Alzheimer's.
Michael Morgan LMT, CST-D has been an instructor of CranioSacral Therapy for the Upledger Institute for over 18 years. He has taught this technique extensively in North America, Canada, Russia, Mexico, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland and other countries around the world. He pioneered and coordinated research in the application of Craniosacral Therapy to Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and served as a consultant for a study published in the American Journal of Gerontological Nursing.
The author of BodyEnergy Longevity Prescription-How CranioSacral Therapy Helps Prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia While Improving the Quality of Your Life, Michael earned a BA degree in Physics and Philosophy from UC Berkeley and an MA degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa.
