I
We have discovered an anatomical structure that operates as a regulatory center in the life of humans and other vertebrates. This anatomical structure with systemic regulatory capacity is the vertebral arteries.
Through anatomical and physiological research, we have confirmed the intuition that has guided our laboratory research for a period of time that expands over a period of eight years. In summary form, that intuition may be expressed as follows: there exists in the vertebral arteries a central organizing capacity that is directly relevant to the healing of diseases that Western medicine has found it difficult or impossible to cure.
Disease categories, and specific diseases with which we have worked, and for which we have developed curative processes through what we have been able to do with the vertebral arteries, are the following:
(1) A wide variety of age related conditions, and these same conditions as they appear earlier in life and without the aging process acting as an identifiable factor in the appearance of the condition; and,
(2) Many life threatening and life diminishing disease states such as the following:
(a) Breathing and diseases of the lungs, (b) Diseases creating cardiac rhythm irregularity, (c) Conditions of disease that negatively alter blood pressure regulation, (d) Impotence, (e) Disorders disturbing the successful organization of health improving sleeping and waking sequences [collectivecircadian rhythms], (f) Sleep apnea, (g) The digestion and elimination of food and liquid, (h) cholesterol levels in the blood, (h) Diseases of the mouth, (i) Diabetes, (j) Hypertension and hypertension related diseases, (k) Hepatitis, (l) Nephritis, (m) Parkinson’s disease, (n) Alzheimer’s diseases, (o) Leukemia, (p) Cancer, (q) Disorders and diseases of the immune system, (r) Disorders and diseases of the circulatory system and the heart, (s) Anemia, (t) Asthma, and (u) SLE.
Laboratory work within the context of The New Central Paradigm is now being carried out on a variety of coordinated physical, behavioral, and medication based responses to cancer and leukemia that are focused on the wide range of both biochemical and anatomical regulatory functions that are either carried out directly by the vertebral arteries, or are significantly influenced by the activities of the vertebral arteries.
We have listed leukemia as one condition, and not in terms of its more common classification vocabulary. We have also treated cancer in the same manner, i.e., as a singular condition. We are presently operating under the assumption that there may reside within the broad range of regulatory activities available to the vertebral arteries, curative procedures for the effective treatment of the diverse forms of both leukemia and cancer that now plague humanity.
We have identified the new form of Chinese medicine that we have created with the following title: The New Central Paradigm. The New Central Paradigm consists of a broad range of treatment modalities that make varied and condition specific use of the following:
(1) Chinese herbal medications; (2) Specific condition and disease state appropriate medication selection and delivery procedures; and, (3) A wide variety of physical manipulation techniques that are focused on both the direct and the indirect activity of the vertebral arteries.
We have used the techniques of this group of related discoveries to treat five cases of cancer and two cases of leukemia. The group that we treated had the following distribution:
(1) One case of stomach cancer; (2) One case of lung cancer; (3 and 4) Two cases of bladder cancer; (5) One case of uterine cancer; and, (6 and 7) Two cases of leukemia. Our work with these five cases of cancer, and two cases of leukemia have produced positive results.
One of our two leukemia patients in this group was not making use of any anti-cancer chemicals. The improvement in the recovery experience of the person who was not taking anti-cancer chemical drugs was excellent. We find that Chinese herbal medications do not work well in a body that is also taking anti-cancer chemical medications. In another group of thirteen cancer patients taking Chinese herbal medications within the context provided by our medication delivery methods, seven out of thirteen recovered. That is a rate of recovery exceeding fifty percent. It has been our experience that one cancer patient out of fifty recovered while taking anti-cancer chemicals.
We invite the interest and the cooperation of the world scientific community as we continue to work with Chinese herbal medications, medication delivery methods, manipulative techniques, and the sensitive regulatory capacities of the vertebral arteries.
We are not yet prepared to assert that the various forms of leukemia and the various forms of cancer can all be cured entirely or partially through work with the wide range of regulatory activities that may take place in the vertebral arteries.
However, the present state of our laboratory work with animal models and with human patients has led us to continue our investigative work in that direction. At this time we believe that treatment with appropriately selected Chinese herbal medications, and the medication delivery and treatment procedures of The New Central Paradigm, are more effective treatments for cancer and leukemia than are the variety of anti-cancer chemical medications that are regularly used in Western medicine.
As a result of the work that we have carried out in the creation of animal models through which to test our theory, and work with the patients that we have treated, we now believe that the vertebral arteries play a previously unrecognized role in the regulation of all aspects of living, and in many characteristics of injury healing, disease acquisition, disease remission, aging, and death in the life of humans and other vertebrates.

Disease Acquisition, Disease Remission, and
The Discovery of the Activity of the Vertebral Arteries
In the history of human progress as manifested in the history of science, intuition – an idea based on that which one has imagined but cannot yet prove – has played an important and always present role. Our continuing study of the history of Chinese medicine, and the philosophy of life and nature that is central to that history, has caused us to direct our research activities toward the exploration of an intuition about the body and its healing capacities.
There are two consistent themes in the history of Chinese medicine that have, we believe, provided us with the ground for the intuition that we have developed, and that has launched us into the pattern of research that has resulted in the formation of The New Central Paradigm.
Those two closely related themes are the following: First, nature and life are themselves the ultimate text books from which all useful knowledge of health maintenance and health recovery must be drawn. Second, there is an absolute identity between all parts of the body.
As a summary of the reality that is expressed in these two statements, we have adopted the following two-part statement group: (1) In the living body, as innature, one part contains the essence of every part; and, (2) Any part of the living body contains the essence of the totality of which it is a part.
With these intuitions clearly placed before us we began to wonder if there might reside within the body a single anatomical unit that may contain within it regulatory capacities that could be used to address many diseases, and that have not been adequately explored previously.
As we continually thought about the organizational characteristics of the web of life that is constantly in evidence as we study the body of vertebrates, and in the nature of all things that are living, we found ourselves looking into the bodies of the vertebrates that we studied for symbols, signs, and clues that might lead us to a new understanding of an organ or an organ system, that contained within it a healing capacity that had not yet been adequately explored.
As our study began, we had no evidence that such a central anatomical structure existed. We were, however, thinking in terms of totalities, system wide healing capacities, and the diseases of mankind that are difficult to heal. We kept these thoughts developing through a number of stages that involved a good deal of trial and error. As we were experiencing many different routes to discovery, we were also thinking about the ancient Chinese doctrine of Shenqi, that healing energy that is produced by Bushen, which was understood to be successful treatment.
As we encouraged these thoughts to develop, we looked with a gradually increasing level of insight for that central anatomical body that could be medicated, manipulated, and in many ways acted upon that could improve the level of healing capacity that was residing within the body. The healing capacity, or, to use both an ancient Chinese word, and the frame of reference to which that word was always directed, the quantity and the quality of Shenqi – healing energy – that, with adequate treatment, might be produced by this central anatomical structure that we imagined might exist was the goal of our research. If this structure existed, and were discovered and developed, we believed that this discovery could bring great benefit to mankind.
During this important formative period of time in the history of our work, we were fully aware that we were looking at the body in new ways. We did not expect our search to be an easy one. In the formative stages of our work we could not be sure that the object of our search existed. However, as we responded to our dominant intuitions, we were aware that we were walking in the footsteps of ancient Chinese healing traditions.
As our research continued, we found ourselves believing that, if this anatomical structure for which we were in search did exist, it would be capable of a uniquely productive response to skilled manipulation, and to Chinese herbal medications. Chinese herbal medications are far less dangerous, and far closer to the nature of life and the description of the body’s healing capacities through the use of relational and living systems models, than are many Western chemical medications. With these thoughts in mind we were gradually drawn to the area between the heart and the brain as the center of our research.
At this intermediate stage in the development of our research, and our reflections on the results of our research, it occurred to us that the vertebral arteries may be the anatomical unit for which we had been in search.
It was a series of reflections on both the location of the vertebral arteries, and the obvious role of the vertebral arteries in moving blood from the heart to the brain, that caused us to wonder if previously unexplored biochemical resources might reside within the capacities that nature had awarded to this behaviorally sensitive central anatomical structure.
In the process of seeking to discover the range of regulatory activity that is carried out by the vertebral arteries, we designed many experiments. A central characteristic of our experimental methods was the calculated disturbance of the flow of blood through the vertebral arteries.
This disturbance was created in many different ways, only a few of which will be mentioned in this present commentary. As we do so we find it desirable to mention that the exact locations used in our experiments, the exact application of forces, and the specific preparation and activity sequences that are used in our laboratory work are a part of the proprietary nature, the patents, and the continuing development of discoveries that are a part of TheNewCentral Paradigm.
In the process of creating animal models for the study of the acquisition and the remission of human diseases, we have engaged in the process of disturbing the flow of blood in the vertebral arteries of animals with our own methods for carrying out the following activities of which the general form can be described as follows;
(1) Loosening the natural connection of the cervical joints;
(2) In many different ways, and with a variety of forces, and force application sequences, tied the vertebral arteries;
(3) Damaged a ligament in the neck by both mechanical and chemical methods;
(4) Performing a variety of neuroctomys;
(5) Cut the accessory nerve;
(6) Cut the vigor nerve.
Through a great deal of trial and error we made three primary discoveries that have guided our continuing work:
First, the vertebral arteries have within them their own regulatory system;
Second, the regulatory activities of the vertebral arteries have within them the capacity to productively organize what have previously been identified as different categories of healing resources that reside within the body for the healing of a broad range of complex diseases, and for the regulation of almost all aspects of the biological processes that maintain theweb of life.
Third, the most effective method for the generation of animal models for human diseases is to be found in the process of creating different forms of damage to the neck ligament.
We have also discovered that there is a relationship between the age of the animal in which a particular form of ligament damage is created, and the type of disease that appears in that animal following the form of damage that has been administered.
Selected examples of the many relationships that we have discovered between the age of the animal, and the method of the interruption of blood flow that we have applied to that animal, are the following:
(1) Selectively damaging the neck ligament in the second and third cervical column in a rat that is between two and three weeks of age, will produce an animal model of the death process that we have identified as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
(2) Destroying the neck ligament of a rat between the ages of two and three months can produce an animal model for the human condition known as Kawasaki disease;
(3) Selectively damaging in many different ways the neck ligament of a rat between the ages of ten and fifteen months will produce an animal model of many different conditions that afflict human life. Our laboratory work has produced animal models that mirror the following human conditions: Heart attack, stroke, varied forms of vegetation, diabetes, obesity, obesity related conditions, hepatitis, nephritis, and many other conditions;
(4) Damaging the neck ligament of a rat between the ages of twenty and thirty-five months may produce animal models for the human conditions known as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Early stages of Parkinson’s disease can be produced by a selected form of damage to the neck ligament of a younger rat. That condition will remain in a progressive state as the rat increases in age if the process is not interrupted by the methods of stimulation that we have created to alter the progress of this disease.
We have also discovered that different qualities of stimulation that are given to the same animal can cause different clinical or pathological reactions. For example, if we stimulate the neck bone joints very gently that process may only alter the patterns of breath, heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, and create some changes in blood chemistry and urine. After the mild stimulation that has produced these changes, most animals recovered completely within twenty-four hours. However, under severe stimulation, the animals acquired serious diseases and some died quickly.
In order to investigate the relationship between the vertebral arteries and the cranial nerves we have carried out a variety of experiments with neuroctomys.
The process of cutting both sides of the accessory nerve causes the animal to stop growing, to acquire anemia, and to experience some loss of movement. However, the animal can survive in this condition for three months. Cutting both sides of the vigor nerve causes congestion and hemorrhaging unless anesthesia has been administered to the animal before the neuroctomy is administered.
When anesthesia has been administered, the congestion and hemorrhaging in the lungs will not appear. Additional work with this phenomena may reveal that when the vigor nerve is lost, the sympathetic nerve will necessarily relinquish its normal domain of control.
As we assemble this body of experimental information together, we find that the vertebral arteries have their own regulatory system, and that the manipulation of this system has within it extensive implications for the healing of diseases, and the improvement of health. We have given our new capacity to work therapeutically with the systemic regulatory capacities of the vertebral arteries the title, The NewCentral Paradigm.
