         A dominant factor in the doctrine of Pleneurethics is its concept of structure and the manner in which structural distortion produces functional abnormality. Structural distortions in the several environments of the brain impose an intricate pattern of loading on brain structure. If this adverse loading is excessive, the function of the brain is impaired and, consequently, health potentials are diminished. Various diseases or proclivities to poor health result. Pleneurethical philosophy forcefully contends that the cause and course of many mental and physical diseases may often be reversed and cured by natural measures. Such a cure is accomplished by restoring the structure of the environments of the brain system to normal functional behavior, thereby, sympathetically improving the structure and function of the brain.
        Techniques employed in Pleneurethics to restore environmental (cerebellar) malstructures to normal are commonplace. They include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) biomental procedures as in psychotherapy, mature counseling on the facts of life, meditation, and relaxation drills;

(2) biochemical measures as in dietary control, vitamin and mineral supplements, and medicines which prove effective;

(3) biophysical applications as in physical medicine, physical exercise, biomechanics, and body awareness; and

(4) biocultural relationships.

        Briefly, and on another level of abstraction, Pleneurethics is a way of life and a system of therapeutics based on the notion that chronic, personal dissatisfactions are caused by patterns of disorders in the central neural system. Therapy is aimed at the restorative and preservation of brain competence, thereby reversing the course of undesirable events.

        Pleneurethics addresses itself resolutely to eradicating the most common of ailments; brain insufficiency—general and specific. This eradication is the key to neural control, good health, and emotional stability. It optimizes brain command while expanding mentality to its greatest dimension and to perfect ethical structure. It is based upon truth, logic, and reality as verified by experience for over half a century.
        Pleneurethics is also a system for restoring health and emotional stability to those who are chronically ill. It provides a concrete neurological reference point for the study of many social problems. It advocates the creation of substantial and sustained well being by fostering effective operation of the brain system. It is positively oriented toward the establishment of a neurological basis for the generation of spontaneous health.
        Pleneurethics recognizes the brain as the axial agency in the human organism. It sees the brain as the immediate controller and regulator of the development, operation, and maintenance of the body, occupying a transcendent position of authority. Where brain energy sufficiency exists, chronic illness cannot persist. That which abolishes brain disorder also abrogates the cause of chronic illness, both somatic and psychic.
        Pleneurethics postulates that chronic illness symptoms experienced by people are, in reality, the mental interpretations of brain conditions and activities. What sick people feel when they say they do not feel well is a mental awareness of the condition of their brain tissue. If certain neurological tissues are upset, as they are in the chronic illness process, the mind feels or senses this cerebellar disorder and interprets it as not feeling well or as being sick. These feelings are manifested by such symptoms as a headache, nausea, dizziness, cranial heaviness, mental sluggishness, pessimism, and apprehension.
        The person experiencing such symptoms regards feelings resulting from palpation of the brain by the mind as natural. If the brain is chronically irritated and unstable, it is natural for the person to feel anxious, angry, and unsmiling most of the time. It is also natural, if the brain is placid and in good health, for the person to feel indefatigable, enthusiastic and happy most of the time. Much of the same is true of physiological activity. Depending upon the patterns of the brain’s instability, it will seem natural to oversleep or to undersleep, to overreact
 page 67 
or to under-react, or to be oversexed or undersexed. It is natural for the healthy, stable brain to produce normal sleep rhythms and normal appetite for food and for sexual feeling.
        Even though a chronically ill person does not particularly enjoy having a ravenous appetite or being a bit nauseated most of the time, there is little that he can do about it. He will become obese or emaciated according to the eccentric drive of his chronically unstable brain. He will naturally eat all the time or habitually decline food. There is nothing of curative significance that his mind alone can do about it. That which is true of the appetite for food holds true for the other biological functions. They all come under the influence of the brain. The individual can act well when the brain is stable and perform unstably when the brain is ill.
        Pleneurethics has been successful in reversing the cause of a number of chronic illness manifestations. In doing so, it has succeeded in partially relieving or totally eliminating a number of chronic illness complaints. In Pleneurethics the preference is to focus attention on specific complaints of chronically ill people.
        The physical signs that indicate the bioductory system has been damaged vary considerably; depending on the location, severity, and length of time the damages has been consolidating the condition of visible tissues. Some of the early signs may be seen in mannerisms and affectations. Other signs are of a gross anatomical nature and are best ascertained by palpating with the fingers. Still other signs may be heard in the breathing, heartbeat, and speech.
        Generally speaking, signs of bioductory damage can be divided into four types. These are:

(1) Physical signs, presented by deranged anatomically injured areas in the bioductories;

(2) Neurological signs caused by bioductory generated trauma in the central neural system;

(3) Physiological malfunctions and deterioration in tissues and organs resulting from the central neurological trauma; and

(4) Mental and behavioral characteristics stemming from chronic deterioration in the central neural system.

The bioductory system is susceptible to an infinite variety of traumatization patterns. The resulting pattern of damage to the brain is
 page 68
determined by the specific structural mechanics of the bioductory derangement. It is, therefore, difficult to list all of the points upon which bioductory diagnosis hinges—unless one is prepared to go into it in a professional manner over a lengthy period of intensive study.
        Basically, almost any chronic stiffness along the spine, neck, head, or hips denotes damage to some section of the bioductory system. Sometimes the sufferer only notices a headache, a painful jaw that locks on occasion, pressure on the base of the head, yellowish or bloodshot eyes, or perhaps bursitis with subsequent arthritis in the fingers.
        Sometimes nightmares, sleeplessness, fitful sleep schedules, or mental instabilities are indicative of chronic brain damage arising from bioductory system problems. Chronic anger or changes in perceptions of reality may also be indicative of bioductory damage.
        With chronic bioductory trauma—especially in the head, neck, and shoulder area causes chronic brain damage—chronic symptoms occur concurrently in the mind as mental illness and in the body as organic disorder. This explains why in such mysterious conditions as hysteria and psychosomatic illnesses go hand in hand with mental and physical illness.
        Another sign to look for is the inability of the sufferer to be definite about his chronic complaint. This is because a person suffering from a chronic brain malfunction and imminent tissue breakdown of a gross anatomical nature cannot be specific about the location of the source of his trouble. Moreover, he will be uniformly vague about the exact nature of his complaint. He will change his story from day-to-day and from year-to-year, especially in the early years of the history.
        Further indications of bioductory trauma are twisted posture, head cocked and held too far forward, tilted, twisted or too far to the right or left. One jaw that seems to be more prominent than the other gives a clue to the suborcipital or cervical bioductory torsion. Heavy circular lines of tissue degeneration engraved in the skins of the neck, deeply engraved lines in the facial tissues, and chronic tension of neck muscles on one or both sides also point to bioductory damage, especially if they are noted early in life. Of course, all of these signs must be related to the person’s age. They are more serious when they appear in young people. Chronic tics and sudden jerks of the head, neck, and body of a habitual nature are also signs of bioductory problems with
 page 69
attendant brain malfunction. Physiological signs run the full course of every conceivable form of chronic illness from hyper-sexuality or perversion in the initial stage to final stages of impotency or frigidity. There may be immediate or delayed appearance of paralysis, mysterious rash, or chronic intestinal disorder.
        Almost everyone at some time has had an accident that could damage his bioductory system. Whenever a person experiences a heavy physical trauma, e.g., from an accidental fall, severe car whiplash, or injury by incompetently used obstetrics at birth, there is bound to be some degree of bioductory system damage. The portion of the bioductory system damaged as well as the extent of the damage depends upon the nature and severity of the injury.
        In Pleneurethics counter-pressure is used to restructure bioductory disorders, but there is a tremendous philosophical difference between the Pleneurethical approach and orthodox recoil manipulative adjustment and massage treatment used by other healing schools. The Pleneurethical corrective counter-pressure mobilizes and moves entire sections of the bioductory system into their appropriate position by the exertion of a measured, controlled, and properly vectored force that breaks down osseous adhesions, soft tissue strictures, and fibrosis.
        Pleneurethical correction is invariably non-stimulatory. It is healing because it restores the capacity of the brain to carry out its structural and functional organization. It is perhaps more difficult and exacting to perform than knife surgery. The person doing it must possess exquisite judgment, a refined diagnostic ability, and consummate corrective skills. The procedures require a forceful application designed to remove bioductory system malstructure deliberately and accurately. As a result the Pleneurethical correction restructures the bioductory system. It does not initially rely on the spine’s innate adaptive force to play a major role. But, once the bioductory system has been re-deployed, the innate metabolic forces are able to take over and complete the job by carrying away the debris that accumulated around the area when it adapted to the distortion that caused the original problem. X-rays are always useful in determining a number of things about bioductory disorders.
        There is a definite and distinct relationship between recovery indicators and the symptoms of chronic illness that previously marked periods of degenerative exacerbation. The recovery indicators are simply
 page 70
signs that the microstructure of the brain and the function of a nerve tract that was once highly irritable, nearly inert, or unbalanced and certainly pathological, is being restored. These signs evidence that the trend of structural and functional deterioration has been reversed and that a new era of biological reconstruction is commencing.
        The individual will notice that the organs relive or retrace the previous pattern of degeneration as the formerly pathological nerve cell bodies in the brain and nerve tracts regain their original vigor and normal neurological communication is restored to the pathological somatic tissues. Thus, old aches and pains and emotional disturbances which marked the original downward path of chronic illness will be experienced in reverse order. It seems that, as the person begins to climb back out of the black hole of chronic illness through the Pleneurethical restoration of his neural integrity, he must ascend the same path and re-encounter in reverse order the same type of unpleasant experiences that previously marked his descent.
        Recovery indicators may be noticed in any tissue of the body, affected by chronic illness. They may be visible and objective, or they may be entirely subjective and of a sensory nature only. For example, one individual in treatment had a persistently painful and uneasy feeling across his abdomen around the liver and the spleen after a heavy attack of hepatitis. After being accepted for Pleneurethical care, the uneasy condition seemed to subside over the months of therapy. However, on one occasion after nerve tracts and associated bioducts had been positively mobilized, he experienced heavy distress in the upper abdominal region. This lasted a few days and was followed by complete and permanent relief from his earlier symptoms. The recovery indicator was the renewed feeling of the abdominal distress for a short period directly subsequent to a marked increase in neurological communication from the brain to the hepatic tissues. Some recovery indicators are quite dramatic and others are so unobtrusive that they pass wholly unnoticed.
        Recovery signs are always reversals of the symptoms of various stages of the original chronic degenerative illness. The most important one being knowledge that the individual is getting well rather than knowing that he is inexplicably ill. Often the person has forgotten the various stages of pain and unpleasantness through which his organic establishment passed on its declivitous path into progressively deeper
 page 71
manifestations of chronic illness. The reversal of the degenerative process, through the restoration of complete neurological fidelity to the affected regions, is often uncomfortable, but it is necessary if a cure is to be achieved. One must expect difficult periods during the course of Pleneurethical cure.
        There may be brief pain at the time restructuring force is applied. No anesthetic is used during a Pleneurethical correction, and the pain, if it occurs, will be at the exact point to which the force is administered. The pain lasts only for a split second when it occurs, and it then passes. But local stiffness and some tissue soreness may manifest itself for a few days following the initial treatments. Some persons develop strange sensations, aches and pains in remote regions, which may persist for a few days or weeks. These pains are not always at the point where the restructuring force was applied, but they are, nevertheless, a result of the force. The pains may be moderately severe and can be even frightening.
        If he tries, the individual can usually recall the pain that accompanied the accident that disorganized the section of the bioductory in question. To avoid the pain and to stabilize the malpostured area, nature commenced to immobilize the damaged area of the bioductory system. The bioductory system remained immobile in a disordered structured position, but relatively painless through loss of normal neurological communication until Pleneurethical procedures began to reverse the process. Before Pleneurethics can re-establish the normal position of a partially malpositioned section of the bioductory system, it must be mobilized and shifted into orderly relation with other bioducts. This process may introduce severe to light pain lasting for a few days to a few hours.
        During the first weeks or months of Pleneurethical care, immobilized bioductory tissues may remain motionless and painless. However, once the bioductory tissues begin to move under Pleneurethical management, there may be considerable pain connected with each movement. There will be pain as the force of correction is applied, and there will be pain as the individual moves these tissues during normal living body movements.
        The trend of improvement in health and well being is not a smooth upward path. There will be reverses. There will be days when the individual will feel that no progress has been made, and the individual
 page 72
may actually feel in worse condition than before. The course of Pleneurethical care is quite lengthy for some seriously ill people. People who are in very advanced stages of chronic illness may take several years to cure. The road to real and permanent health can be long and trying, but with Pleneurethics it can be negotiated.
        Most persons under Pleneurethical care derive a great deal of satisfaction relating their experience with recovery indicators to other persons. Once properly understood, the recovery indicator is a sign of great importance to both the patient and those responsible for his care. Indeed, it is more beneficial to discuss recovery signs with others that are also under Pleneurethical management. By comparing notes, each person receives a greater insight into the wonderful things that are happening to the body, brain, and mind.
        Perhaps the most significant recovery indicator occurs in the individual’s mind. The person intuitively senses that he can now be well. It is almost as if the person has at last generated the will to be well. With a newly found premonition or subliminal urge, people often feel that they can be healthy simply by willing it to be so and by acting as if it were the case. Further outside help is neither required nor desired once the spontaneous and irrepressible recovery process is experienced.
