25.01.2022 Over 80% of our immunity is determined in and by our gut. The entire confluence of gut activity is governed by our nervous system. How shall we boost immunity most effectively? A vaccine OR an optimally efficient nervous system, supported by good food, clean air and water and regular exercise?



25.01.2022 Question of the Week What are free radicals? Answer to last weeks question: What is Wernickes area? (Special mention to Catherine Le Meur (Sydney) for her response, which is given here.) Wernicke's area is the region of the brain that is important in language development. Neurologist Carl Wernicke is credited with discovering the function of this brain region. Wernicke's Area is located on the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain and is responsible for the comprehension of speech (Broca's area is related to the production of speech). Language development or usage can be seriously impaired by damage to the Wernicke's Area.

23.01.2022 Thought for the Week The power of the nervous system is well demonstrated in the story released this week of Monique van der Vorst, a 27 year old Dutch cyclist. The incredible part is not that Monique has just been selected to ride professionally for a major Dutch team, but the path she has traversed to reach this point. At 14 years of age, Monique became a paraplegic after undergoing ankle surgery. The precise details are somewhat unclear, but the information given in the ...press release is that she became paralysed from the waist down after routine (???) ankle surgery to help her walk properly resulted in a nerve being cut. She became a wheelchair cyclist and went on to win 2 silver medals at the 2008 Paralympic games. Then, while training last year for the 2012 Palalympics, Monique was involved in a crash with another cyclist and immediately started regaining feeling and movement in her feet. Eventually, she was walking unaided again and, after getting back into cycling, has now reached professional standard. Monique may well become the first person ever to be selected for the Olympic Games after representing in the Paralympics. What happened here? Clearly, there were major spinal cord and brain shocks triggered by the surgery which led to her paralysis (even though there was no direct trauma in those areas.) A similar, retracing shock from her training accident was sufficient to generate transmission along long-unused pathways, but only after she had had some years of slow regeneration where the scalpel had caused the initial havoc. NeuroSpinologists must always remember that the nervous system is a two-way street and afferent input has significant impact on the brain and spinal cord, just as efferent commands impact on everything else.

22.01.2022 Question of the Week What is Wernicke's area? Answer to last week's question: What are the functions of the corpus... callosum? (Special mention to Lorea Ayala (Spain) and Miriam Spilker (Sydney) for their responses) The corpus callosum is the largest structure of white matter of the body, is located beneath the cortex in the eutherian brain at the longitudinal fissure, and connects the two cerebral hemispheres. The corpus callosum integrates the information of the left and right cerebral hemispheres thus enabling integrated thinking. See more

21.01.2022 Question of the Week: What are the functions of the corpus callosum? Answer to last weeks question: What are alpha and beta adrenergic receptors? (Special mention to Miriam Spilker (Sydney) for her response, which is given here.) Adrenergic refers to adrenalin-oriented. The adrenergic receptors are types of receptors that synapse with adrenergic fibres that secrete hormones like norepinephrine (noradrenalin) and epinephrine (adrenalin). There are two types: alpha and beta receptors that are stimulated by neurons of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system respectively.

18.01.2022 Thought for the Week A fascinating letter appeared in the Letters to the Editor section of the Australian newspaper on Monday November 7th. It was written by Dr Don Benjamin, Chairman of the Australian Cancer Information and Support Society. Now, before I go into any further detail, nod to yourselves if you have heard of, or maybe even believed, any of the following assertions: Cancer is largely preventable if detected early... Testing should be carried out routinely for a wide variety of cancers so that they may be stopped at an early, less aggressive, stage If a malignant tumour is found, surgery to remove it should be performed as soon as possible, as long as it hasnt gone too far and is therefore inoperable. If a tumour is operated on early enough, it can be completely removed before it spreads any further OK, thats what I thought. EVERYONE has heard this stuff drummed into us through every form of media and medical contact all of our lives and, despite our constant protests as to the fallacy of some of this highly deceptive scaremongering, the health care position has remained unmoved. Until now. Heres the letter, word for word: Your article (Womens cancer curse, November 4) quotes cancer experts as accepting that very little can be done to treat lung cancer. It is already known that early intervention following lung cancer screening produces no reduction in mortality. Also surgery has never been shown in a randomised controlled trial to affect mortality or longevity for any cancer. There is a simple explanation. The current cancer paradigm is wrong. Cancer is a systemic disease, not one that starts locally and later spreads. Otherwise early detection would save lives. There we go. Finally an admission that what we have been saying for decades is true; you dont catch cancer, it doesnt spread, you can remove a breast or prostate gland and the cancer will most likely just pop up somewhere else because the breast/prostate/whatever isnt the problem, early detection is a complete red herring, surgery is a total but dangerous waste of time, and all of the other treatments do nothing but further destroy the bodys defenses (I would still like to know who worked out that if you give chemotherapy to someone healthy it makes them gravely ill, but if you give it to someone gravely ill it makes them healthy!!!) The question now is this; will the multi trillion dollar per year barrage of cancer tests and treatments stop? Will we be given a reprieve from the continual medical insistence that we should have an annual check-up? Lets revisit this in 2 years time.. See more

12.01.2022 We have VSL approval! As of last Friday, our course has been approved for VET Student Loans (VSL). It works in a similar fashion to HECS, in that the government loans part of the course fees, and students begin to repay the loan only after they graduate and are earning more than $52,000. Enrolees into the 10142NAT Advanced Diploma of NeuroSpinology will be automatically eligible for a VSL of $10,528 (note: only Australian residents are eligible). Big Christmas offer... We are reducing the total course fee from $25,000 to $15,000 for anyone who enrols in the NeuroSpinology course between now and Christmas 2019. With the $10,528 Vet Student Loan available, this will mean your total personal outlay will be just $4,472. Places are limited, so be sure to get back to us promptly if you are interested. Contact us at: [email protected] Merry Christmas....

06.01.2022 Did You Know? The average human adult male brain weighs about 1400 gram (49 oz). The brain of Russian novelist Turgenev, weighed 2021g (71 oz), and Otto von Bismarcks (unifier of Germany) brain weighed 1807g (64 oz). Female average brain mass is slightly less than that of males. The largest womans brain recorded weighed 1742g (61 oz). Einsteins brain weighed 1230 gram (43.39 ounces), somewhat smaller than average. It is estimated that the mental capacity of a 100-year old ...human with perfect memory could be represented by a computer with 10 to the power of 15 bits (one petabit). At the current rate of computer chip development, that figure can be reached in about 35 years. However, that represents just memory capacity, not the extremely complex processes of thought creation and emotions, which account for a far greater percentage of brain activity. See more

03.01.2022 Thought for the Week From the "Now we've heard Everything" files came a press release in the New York Times in April this year under the headline "Cure for Migraines!"... A "research group" in the US has come up with the "startling discovery" that "migraines are not headaches, they are a neurological illness caused by an abnormality in brain chemistry." Can everyone see where this is going? There is some interesting lateral information and semantic sleight of hand in the press release as well: "chocolate, stress, alcohol, lack of sleep, hormonal fluctuations and even certain cheeses can trigger-but not cause-an attack." (???? Wouldn't any of these contribute to, or actually constitute, a change in brain chemistry???) "Sex triggers migraines in some people. For others, it can stave off an attack, which might be why migraineurs generally have a higher sex drive than those who don't" (interesting speculation??? Where is this research published I wonder?) If you guessed that the solution was going to be a drug, you were right, but the exact nature of the drug is the surprise. It is amazing how the marketing/research arms of these drug companies keeps coming up with more and more uses of the same drugs to "treat" an ever-wider range of symptoms and conditions. This is up there with the best though: "The research is funded and directed by the drug company Allergan, who have found that their anti-wrinkle injection, Botox, may be the ultimate cure for migraines." Now it's official; we've heard the lot.
