        Pleneurethics is a new world of thought followed by corrective action. It is, in action, a way of life as well as a new system of therapeutics based upon a balanced view of the whole person—the body, brain, and mind. The brain is central. It is a transfer station between the body and the mind and between the mind and the body.
        A dominant factor in the doctrine of Pleneurethics is its concept of structure and the manner in which structural distortion produces functional abnormality. Structured distortions in several environments of the brain impose an intricate pattern of loading on the brain structure. If this adverse loading becomes excessive, the function of the brain becomes impaired and health potential becomes diminished. As a result, various diseases or proclivities to poor health become apparent. Pleneurethical philosophy advocates that the cause and the course of many mental and physical disease processes may be reversed and cured by natural measures. This cure is accomplished by restoring the structure of the environments of the brain system to normality. Consequently, the normal structure and function of the brain are sympathetically improved. As a result, the body and the mind are improved.
        In function, the center of Pleneurethics is clear. The center consists of the brain—its structure—and the various mechanisms by which neural energy is generated, conserved, and expanded in health and disease processes. The Pleneurethical approach to human affairs is structural because structural disorders produce stress. Structural stress is the root of dysfunction as well as many of the symptoms of disease. Broadly speaking, Pleneurethics views life systems and the environment within which life must survive as a series of interrelated structures and substructures with the brain as the central biological
 page 14
structure. To better understand this position, one must outline the fine aspects or facets of any device in the universe: structure, function, content, input and output. In the case of the human or nature, structural design determines the span of function.
        “Structural Pleneurethics” is a term that references the special approach of Pleneurethics in diagnosing and treating of disease. Structural Pleneurethics is, in reality, structural medicine. On the other hand, it is not in any way affiliated with allopathic pharmacy.
        In Pleneurethics, the brain is postulated to be the central factor in much unexplained medicine. The brain is also a central factor in sustaining the buoyancy of irrepressible good health. One important aspect of Pleneurethics is the study of the cause and effect of brain stress and disturbance. Pleneurethics is fundamentally concerned with how to prevent brain stress and with how to correct brain stress when prevention has failed either due to an accident or due to ignorance on the part of the individual.
        Much of the brain disturbance is caused by structural stress, which springs from various sources and accumulates in the brain. Each type of disturbance in the brain reinforces all other types, directly or indirectly, to become the common cause of an infinite variety of mental and physical illnesses. Some types of brain disturbance are passing and, therefore, acute. Other forms are more lasting and, therefore, chronic. In some cases, the source of brain disturbance comes from within the individual. In other cases, the source is from outside the individual.
        The brain has a central role between the body and the mind. In Pleneurethics, the brain is the most magnificent of engines. Bringing the brain to optimum competence is the goal of Pleneurethics.
        The brain is in an inevitable biological position. It is subject to the demand of the mind (mentality) from one vector and subject from another vector to the press of a worldly environment that is registered through the sensors of the brain. From yet another vector, the brain is closely occupied with the maintenance of the body from which it receives vital support like metabolic nourishment, waste services, geographic transportation, and provision for reproduction via the refuel apparatus. After the body has nourished the brain, cooled it or warmed it, transported it, and provided for its reproduction, the body can do little else.

        Accidents can cause damage to the brain. The damage can be acute; it is caused from the outside. One of the most celebrated cases was that of Karen Ann Quinlan. On April 14, 1975, the young New Jersey woman while dosed with the tranquilizer Valium and the painkiller Darvon, made the mistake of drinking gin and tonic. The combination essentially killed Karen Ann Quinlan. She fell into a coma that lasted until her death ten years later. An autopsy revealed that her brain was largely intact, which explained why her body survived and even continued its bodily cycles. The autopsy of the brain revealed damage, which was local but severe. Her thalamus had been obliterated. Why remains unknown. The tendency of the brain when injured is to swell-often, to death itself. Whereas the result of thalamus excision alone is brain death or, in the Quinlan case, to mind death. Her drug accident was similar to a power station explosion. All her lights down line went out. She entered a deep sleep from which she never awoke. Consciousness was gone. Pleneurethics cannot correct such damage.
        The brain, when clear and clean and well-structured, responds with clarity to all that is thrust upon it. However, when the brain becomes sodden and de-structured from chronic traumatic over-burden and chronic undernourishment, it responds erratically and unnaturally, if at all. Its dismal plight, under these circumstances, yields an inexorable divisive force to body systems. The mind comprehends, but it has been betrayed.
        The assumption in Pleneurethics is that the mind and the body are not the same. Instead, mind and body are postulated to be separate—a Cartesian dualism as opposed to the popular monism. The neural system is the special mediating tissue that separates them. The brain is a universal tissue capable of omni-directionally communicating with both the mind and the body as well as with the outside world. The brain, as the Karen Ann Quinlan case reveals, is vulnerable to accidents which harm the body; chief among the incidence of such accidents are those to the body’s bioductory system. The bioductory system is unique to Pleneurethics. It is composed of discrete neural foramina, nerviducts in long bones, lateral spinal forancen, vertebral notches, soft nerve sheaths that connect to nerviducts in the long bones and the cranial forancen.
        The duty of this special system is to protect and to provide flexible and mobile support for the central and peripheral neural system. If the
 page 16
bioductory system, especially the central osseous sector, is traumatically maldeployed; it no longer protects the central neural system. It also acts as the system’s slow executioner directly and indirectly through alteration of supporting physiological systems.
        The broken and destructured bioductory system absorbs large amounts of neural energy unproductively. It hinders the brain in its efforts to restore itself. The chronically disordered bioductory system is the main source of chronic problems to the brain during the efforts of the brain to maintain a proper balance of neural energy for use by the mind and the somatic systems. The chief duty of the bioductory system is to permit the neural system to retain its structural integrity as the brain goes about its many affairs.
        Damage to the bioductory system is harmful in several ways. The first way is the destructuring of the neural system itself in the immediacy of the bioductory trauma. Thus, for example, the extension of the hind brain or spinal cord and its roots may be lightly crushed, moderately crushed, heavily assaulted or even torn in two depending upon the extent of injury to the bioductory system.
        The second harmful way is the obstruction of the flow of blood to and from the stricken area of the neural system. In some cases this could lead to a total breakdown of the spinal nerve tracts, spinal cord in the area, and peripheral nerves. This may impair control of circulation of blood to the brain and the body organs through affected arteries and veins.
        The third harmful way is the disturbance to the brain caused by spinal cord trauma. This disturbance takes on many characteristics depending upon the area of the brain affected, ranging from unconsciousness to headache to hyperirritability and to over-activity in the initial stages. Intermediate stages may yield hostility, fear, volatile emotional behavior, upset in all body rhythms such as sleep cycles and ovulation, dizziness and nausea. The brain becomes overloaded, under maintained, and depressed in varying patterns depending upon the location of the spinal cord trauma. Those that are more cephalward are more severe.
        The fourth harmful way is mental reaction to brain tissue problems stemming from brain involvement from the third stage.

        The fifth harmful way finds all types of chronic bodily reaction to the brain difficulties of the third stage.
 page 17
        The sixth harmful way is the local trauma to the bioductory system itself in the immediate area of the damage. There will be varying amounts of local pain, swelling, consolidation, stiffness, and, in the final stages, ankylosis and the insensitivity of paralysis or open fulminating lesions with pain. The exact nature of the history of the progress of the bioductory ailment is determined by the configuration of the trauma itself, by the way it is attended to or ignored by the afflicted, and the nature and type of the injuries which modify the sector of the bioductory system in question.
        As the bioductory system hardens from injury or old age, adjacent spinal muscles deteriorate and weaken; the rate of degeneration accelerates. Indeed, all body stems deteriorate according to bioductory disorder and regenerate in company with bioductory restoration. Conversely, normal flexibility of the bioductory system fosters somatic development.
        Harmful stress and tension in the bioductory system creates correlative stress and tension of pathological dimension in the brain and throughout the body. The body of stressful disorder in the bioductories, plus acute stresses introduced into the body from other vectors, determines the composite pattern of illness in the individual.
        Another aspect of structure which is little understood generally but which is fundamental in Pleneurethics is the subject of ethics itself. Ethics in Pleneurethics relate to the structure of the mentality and to the neurological competence of the individual. The evil and sinful mentality imposes a heavy neurological burden upon the individual, whereas the ethical mentality uplifts the level of the neurological balance by elevating its buoyancy.
        Since Pleneurethics postulates that good health is derived from overall neurological competence, it follows that the ethical mentality improves the chances for health and success in life. Evil doing inflicts people with weighty neurological encumbrances, thereby decreasing the chances for health and creative productivity. Herein is the Pleneurethical postulate that ethics and morality influence the level of health an individual (or a civilization) may enjoy.
        The structure of mentality mobilizes the forces of a vibrant brain while it funnels the forces into a pattern of personal behavior. The structure of mentality predisposes people to a life ranging from hostility
page 18
and bitter recrimination and even assassination to sympathetic understanding as well as helpfulness and ethical character.
        The malstructure of the mentality may be shifted, reinforced, or removed by manipulation of the mental structure. The structure of mentality is impregnable to alteration on some occasions while, in other circumstances, it can be flexible without limitations. The structure of the mentality is paradoxical unless one understands the Pleneurethical notions about its derivation and development.
        Even if the mind should command the mentality to give up its malstructure and suddenly become ethical, the total immersion of all substructures in the mentality would require years of substantial effort. Indeed, if a person were middle-aged, let alone be in old age, when the first effort of reconstruction was inaugurated, total success might never be achieved.
        It is incumbent upon those responsible for child development to assist children from the very beginning to develop an ethically structured mentality. Whereas the restructuring of mentality will correct the cause of acute brain distress coming from mentality, it will never correct the cause of chronic brain disorder, although it may seem to for a few minutes or hours on a day-to-day basis.
        An angry flip of the mentality over some real or imaginary social abuse can easily provoke the brain into an acutely emotional gland exciting response. The bloodstream will become heavily charged with emotion-producing hormonal secretions. As unpleasant as this acute hormonal upset is, the prolonged upset from chronic causes is far worse. Here a traumatized bioductory system chronically goads the brain into a sustained provocation of glandular discharge. The result will raise havoc with any or all glandular operations. The pattern of the metabolic upset being prescribed by the pattern of bioductory disarray will result in a pattern of brain depleneurization.
        Pleneurethically speaking, distortion of the body’s functions through disease or disability is categorized in one of three divisions: chronic, acute, or congenital. Chronic illness, which is the primary concern of Pleneurethical therapy, is an unrelenting process caused by degenerative disturbance to the central neural system, more specifically the brain. Chronic illnesses do not cure themselves with the passage of time because the power of the brain to coordinate body activity and cooperate with the mind has been chronically diminished. Vectors
 page 19
other than those responsible for chronic brain disturbance cause acute illnesses. They generally heal with the passage of time because the central neurological resources of the brain remain unharmed and virtually undiminished throughout the acute emergency. Congenital illnesses derive from permanent brain defects occurring during gestation.
        The division that is the least understood—chronic illness and especially correction—is the primary concern of Pleneurethics. The target of correction is the structure of the body, including the newly identified bioductory system.
