Re:FROM NERVE ROOTS TO PLANT ROOTS - RESEARCHERS ARE GAINING UNEXPECTED

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Andrea Beth!

 

I'm in the process of developing an embryology course for my pre-allied

healthcare professional students = people applying to graduate work in CM, WM,

PT, OT and other fields. When I develop enough facility with it, I'd like to

offer the course to one of the SF Bay area CM schools.

 

This is where Jason Robertson's translation of Dr. Wang's Applied Channel Theory

has a very close correlation. Endogenous treatment with traditional medicines

using acupuncture, qi gong, tui na, tai ji, liu he ba fa, etc. basically

document, in my opinion, embryological channel development and the resulting

adult homeostasis.

 

Example: Cells of the " intermediate mesoderm " form the gonads and the kidneys.

Later during fetal development during the second month, the kidneys migrate

upward from their location in the pelvis while the gonads migrate downward from

the location as part of the adrenal cortex (also a steroid hormone producing

tissue). The gonads and kidney literally migrate through each other on the way

to their post natal destinations.

 

Every MD medical school in the U.S. teaches embryology while theory are teaching

anatomy and histology in the first semester. At the Univ. of Texas centers, the

first semester is 24 graduate units of anatomy, histology, embryology and

biochemistry. They start us off pretty slow eventually increasing the intensity

to 35 units per semester by the 3rd semester.

 

I'm hoping that the SF Bay area and other California schools teach embryology as

a part of their biomed work up. This is the really useful information and will

put CM graduates in a position to " inform " Western medicine and Western science

rather than the other way around. In my opinion this is the more correct

position for CM, as the grandparent guide of the new WM medical model.

 

Respectfully and gratefully,

FROM NERVE ROOTS TO PLANT ROOTS - RESEARCHERS ARE GAINING UNEXPECTED INSIGHTS

INTO HEREDITARY SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA

 

Sprouting. Branching. Pruning. Neuroscientists have borrowed heavily from

botanists to describe the way that neurons grow, but analogies between the

growth of neurons and plants may be more than superficial. A new study from the

National Institutes of Health and Harvard Medical School suggests that neurons

and plant root cells may grow using a similar mechanism.
