       In Pleneurethics it is axiomatic that the brain is the biological pivot around which all aspects of the living world are best evaluated. Influenced by a multitude of things, the brain reacts both specifically and generally to the aggregate and returns its influence on all things in one way or another. The brain, however, is susceptible to distortion, as a result of excessive or improper loading of brain tissues by any of the several environments of the brain. Consequently, chronic illness invariably follows chronic brain distortion. Chronic illness is the primary concern of Pleneurethics.
        Patterns of chronic distortion in the brain produce concomitant patterns of chronic illness in the mind and body. Similar patterns of brain distortion in a series of individuals will produce identical patterns of chronic disease in those subjects. By normalizing the micro- and macro-structures of the brain, the basis for health is restored, and the pattern of chronic disease is cured. To this end, Pleneurethical management of the malstructures in the immediate environments of the brain offers the only effective means of reversing brain disorders. These, then, are the basic premises upon which Pleneurethics rests.

Structure and the Brain
        All energies and devices of man and nature, including the unity of the human mind, brain, and body, are more easily understood if they are evaluated in terms of their structure. Structure orders function and prescribes content requirements. The manner in which a biological structure is assaulted determines its pattern of structural and functional collapse. The more complicated the structure, the more complex the symptoms of deterioration.
        Overload, which produces excessive structural disorder, harmfully alters function and modifies content utilization and requirements. In contrast, counter-loading, which reorders structural disorders,
 page 78 
restores the condition necessary to bring function and content to a normal state.
        The bioductory system is a very important structural system in the human body, which has been overlooked by medical science. This system provides a pattern of flexible ducts, which enclose and protect the central brain system, along with portions of the peripheral brain system. If the physical structure of the bioductory system is disordered, the structure of the brain system will also become affected. This is because the bioductory system is anatomically coaxial with the brain and its major extensions, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerve roots and tracts. Substantial distortion in the bioductory system installs an altering force on the structure of the brain system, distorts the central neural response to normal stimuli, and aberrates brain energy output patterns to the mind and soma. A chronically traumatized bioductory system also hinders the brain and individual sectors of the brain system from receiving normal sustenance and replenishment from a properly functioning blood supply. Since blood in the circulatory system is neurochemically coaxial with the brain, providing its chemical environment; it is a significant factor affecting the functioning of the brain.
        The mind is also coaxial to the brain but on a neuromental basis. Disorders in the structure of the mentality of the mind may impose complications upon an already overloaded or undernourished brain.
        The brain is, therefore, the most important biological structure of human life. It frames the range of mentality and influences the coordination and operation of somatic systems. If the brain system remains traumatically undisturbed and stable, the mind will enjoy a hospitable abode, and the body will revel in undiminished, buoyant, virtually irrepressible good health. If, however, the brain comes under assault from any environmental vector, its distortive disorder will be reflected concurrently in both the mind and the body. Therefore, mental disorder invariably accompanies physical illness when the brain is involved because of the triaxial relationship of the brain with the mind and the soma.
        The brain responds to stimuli from many sources. It must dissipate this intensive loading through various processes, or retain the accumulation and absorb the deleterious consequences, making various adjustments as best it can. This is because brain capability is limited. If excessive demands are imposed upon the brain, specifically by any
 page 79
region of the body or mind, both the mind and the body will suffer generally. Similarly, if the brain system is unable to maintain itself at its normal level of capability because of a single problem, the energy available for all its several duties will be reduced.
        Since the brain is the axial biological structure of life on earth, the study of brain energy capability provides the best standard for evaluating life and those things that affect life. However, once the brain structure is chronically altered, the mind loses touch with normal reality and the mentality becomes distorted. As the window to reality is distorted by chronic brain disturbance, the mind tends to accept the new, distorted view as normal, and the mentality becomes restructured to coincide with the new but aberrated perception of reality. One should keep in mind that brain distortion is different from brain damage. The brain may be chronically overloaded for prolonged periods of time and still be capable of being restored to normal functioning. If, however, the brain breaks down in a stage characterized by fever and delirium, then the brain is damaged. This condition is irreversible and no longer chronic; it, therefore, falls outside the scope of Pleneurethical competency.

Disease and chronic illness
        Brain problems may be acute, congenital, or chronic with several different degrees and layers of chronic or a multitude of acute stresses, all combined and interacting in the brain to produce a virtually incomprehensible confusion. These, in turn, are reflected as disease and disability and are Pleneurethically categorized in three divisions: chronic, acute, and congenital. Chronic brain distortion and disorders are the central causes of chronic illness. Consequently, they do not cure themselves with the passage of time because the power of the brain to coordinate body activity and cooperate faithfully with the mind has been chronically diminished. In comparison, different vectors than those responsible for chronic disorders cause acute illnesses. Acute illness is generally healed with the passage of time because the central neurological resources remain unharmed and virtually undiminished throughout the acute emergency. Finally, congenital abnormalities are the result of permanent brain defects occurring during gestation, usually because of chronic illness in one or both of the parents, toxic diet, exposure to chemical pollution or radiation, or any number of life-threatening vectors.
 page 80
        Identification and accurate discrimination of the true nature of the chronic illness (degenerative disease) process is of inestimable significance in proper diagnosis and curative therapy. Usually, a chronic brain disturbance is the result of a chronic trauma in the physical environment of the brain system bioductory system, although distortions that are more cephalad are not uncommon and are generally more harmful. The pattern of chronic bioductory deflection predetermines the pattern of brain distortion, which in turn sets the pattern of the resulting chronic mental and physical illness. The nature of these chronic disease patterns covers every symptom known to man in every possible combination. The only true statement that can be made about the nature of these diseases is that their symptomatology is virtually limitless and that they change and consolidate as the history of the case unwinds. Of the possible patterns, hormone imbalances and upset body systems are among the least disastrous while heart attack, multiple sclerosis, and cancer are the most disastrous.
        Chronic brain disorder may commence first with microstructural changes and functional disturbance. As the disorder consolidates with time and maturation, gross structural changes and eventual brain tissue breakdown will manifest themselves. Under the brain rending impact of this process, the organic systems of the body become disrupted and the mentality reacts with the chronic anxiety syndrome. This includes apprehension, fear, guilt, excitement, depression, morose apathy, memory impairment, faulty judgment and a short attention span. It may also include irritability, hyperanger, suspicion, insomnia, migraine headaches, and, perhaps, early senility and diminished mobility because of the poor blood flow to the brain and various areas of the spinal cord. The chronic illness process continues along its continuum of exacerbations and remissions, consolidations, and deteriorations until death eventually occurs from one of the more disastrous patterns of chronic illness. The only viable alternative is Pleneurethical: the biomechanical therapy which restructures the bioductory cause of the disorder which, in turn, reverses the course of the chronic brain disturbance.
        It should be pointed out that the presence of chronic illness increases one’s susceptibility to acute disorders and intensifies their severity. Acute illnesses, such as a cut or a bruise, heal uneventfully when the brain system competency to direct the metabolism of repair is unimpaired.
 page 81 
If, however, a chronic brain disturbance is present, the healing process may be slowed or brought to a complete standstill depending upon the severity of the disturbance. Acute psychological problems, such as family or financial worries, may add to the aggregate burden of stress already imposed on a chronically overloaded brain. In such cases, psychotherapy or prayerful resignation may remove the loading created by the psychological problems, thus creating a temporary feeling of invigoration. These techniques, however, will have no curative effect on the stresses created by chronic illness.
        Depending upon the pattern and the nature of brain distortion, the body may exhibit physical signs of the disorder. Brain distortion from loading, for example, throws lines or areas of degeneration in the facial tissues. This may be a temporary condition if the loading is of acute psychological genesis or permanent if it comes from chronic bioductory deflection. The face and even the neck tissues then reflect the status of the brain system by the pattern of lines of tissue degeneration. Other areas of the body are likewise affected, such as skin rash, blood and facial cancer, or chronic stiffness in the joints. Brain distortion may also be revealed behaviorally, particularly in the apparent overreaction by chronically ill persons to trivial, daily aggravations. It should be kept in mind that such responses are registered relative to the aggregate amount of structural distortion that has accumulated in the brain rather than by the increment of the latest provocation.

Communicating a curative remedy
        The cure of an ailment is accomplished by communicating meaningfully with the prime cause of the ailment. Pleneurethical biochemical, biomechanical or biomental operations effectively communicate with the cause of a brain system disorder that produces the illness process. In comparison with other modes of treatment, Pleneurethics is the only approach which recognizes that the central cause of chronic illness resides in the brain and the physics of the anatomical structure which has been chronically distorted in its gross relationship.
        Before continuing, it is necessary to review some of the limitations of the alternatives. Biochemical imbalance is frequently present in the chronic illness process and may be responsible for a large number of symptoms appearing in chronic cases, but biochemical imbalance is not the central or first cause of chronic illness. Consequently, an entire range of chronic hormonal upsets, which leads to such ailments as
 page 82
diabetes, giantism, or dwarfism, cannot be cured by drugs. The cure for chronic, biochemical imbalance comes through normalizing the brain system and its influence over somatic organ function. This is accomplished by reconstruction of the offending sector of the chronically disordered bioductory system in order to normalize its lumen and remove the physical strain and promote blood flow to the brain system. This cannot be achieved if irreversible cerebellar changes have been permitted to occur through delay in treatment.
        Some practitioners of healing often assume that chronic illness is the result of over-extension of one’s physical or mental resources. As a result, they frequently prescribe extended periods of rest, but rest, even prolonged periods of bedrest, will not reverse or cure the cause of chronic illness. Rest or withdrawal from the world may relieve some of the superficial layers of cerebellar strain and overload, but it will never remove the cause of the deeper, more chronic layers of brain depression and irritation and distortion. The same holds true for chronic mental illness.
        Purely psychological factors or external environmental problems do not cause chronic mental illness, although these things may disrupt the brain acutely and aggravate the chronic mental illness process. A cure for chronic mental disorders can only be effected by eliminating chronic stress in the central neural system; it cannot be effected by a religious, meditative, metaphysical, psychiatric, or drug approach because the cause is in the physics of the chronic, anatomical malstructures that precipitate the physical and chemical brain system distortion.

Mind and mentality
        Mentality is the part of the mind structured by the interplay between brain activity and mind capability and is a product of both the physical world and the realm from which the mind springs. While the mentality is in part generated by the brain, the mind is not. It exists as a separate entity, although it spreads across the total expanse of the brain, including even part of the brain occupied with visceral activity. The mind knows the material world through the window provided by the brain and works with the brain in accordance with the structural dimension of the brain, both micro and macro. In comparison, the structural design of the brain, both micro and macro, predisposes the frame and clarity of the mentality.
 page 83
        The mind is divided Pleneurethically into three sections: infrallect, intellect, and ultrallect. Each sector of the mind is associated with one part of the brain more than each of the others. The infrallect is related to that part of the brain that controls body maintenance and operates subliminally with the intellect. The intellect is associated with the portion of the brain that receives sensory stimuli and produces mentality in conjunction with the mind. The ultrallect is connected with the part of the brain involved with ethics, equity, and the welfare of life.
        The mind protects the brain, as the mind seeks to avoid pain or any harm that may threaten to terminate the survival of the individual. The mind also uses the brain to achieve its end, and, in turn, the brain directly influences the mind. A pure mind at rest imposes a minimal load on cerebellar resources. Once the mind becomes increasingly structured to produce a mentality, however, this mentality has a tremendous power to command extraordinary cerebellar resources. If the mentality is malstructured in any aspect, gross overloading of the brain may occur. Fortunately, this in itself does not produce a basis for chronic brain distortion. It does, however, cause acute brain disturbance that may precipitate a serious, even fatal, exacerbation of a preexisting, chronic condition. This is because acute brain loading from mental conflict or malstructure reflects back on the mind, further aggravating any chronic, mental problem already elicited by a chronic brain disorder.
        Dreams, both day and night, as well as nightmares and abnormal “daymares,” are mental interpretations of brain restructuring during periods of brain tension reduction while asleep, nearly asleep, or in a state of diminished cerebellar competency from overfatigue or an advanced stage of the chronic illness process.
        Contrary to some psychological canon, there is no unconscious mind that holds repressed guilt or hateful wishes or unclean psychological debris capable of producing the cause of chronic illness.
        Mental impressions available to an individual in the beginning are determined by the structure of the brain, both macro and micro. This structure is dissimilar from one individual to the next; hence, the basis for differences in appearance, character, and perception of pain, truth, and error. Since truth is based on symmetry of structure, an individual’s parameter of truth will gradually but inexorably become distorted if the micro-and macrostructures of the brain become distorted.
 page 84
Ethics and civilization
        The ethics of Pleneurethics achieves relevance and reality because it is related to a measurable energy parameter, i.e., brain system economy. For example, stealing is a crime in Pleneurethics because, while it may decrease the neurological burden of the thief for the moment, it increases the neurological burden of the victim—often disproportionately so. Lying and deception are unethical because they warp the mental structure and increase the victim’s brain energy expenditure for unproductive and unconstructive ends. Finally, murder and bodily harm are always crimes because the world’s most precious resource, neurological capability, is unproductively expended. Some crimes, however, may be justified when one’s own life or the security of any segment of civilization is threatened.
        The greatest neurological economy is achieved when the mentality is structured in such a way that thoughts are always ethical, and one’s words and actions are no different from those things covertly thought. Thus, no believe in Pleneurethics hides behind an energy-consuming mask of deceit or subterfuge.
        Pleneurethics recognizes a gantry of force known as Absolute Law that provides for the manifestation known as the universe and all things in it, including man and his limited ability to perceive his small portion of that universe. A series of interrelated structures and substructures extend from one end of the universe to the other, making it a closed system. A contraction or expansion of one aspect causes a contraction or expansion, respectively, of another or other aspects. Indeed, there is a close parallel between the universe and the brain. The brain and its activity encompass man’s first and most intimate physical universe. Like the larger universe, the brain gives and takes as its pattern of parameters is altered.
        As a human being is a part of the universe, he or she must live in accord with it and the laws that allow both the human and the universe to coexist. A human cannot rise above the world and expect to live a satisfactory life as a part of the world. This is particularly true when a person gets in touch with his Inner Ethical Being.
        Within each individual there is an Inner Ethical Being which is a rock of tranquility beyond the reach of personal adversity. The mind has access to this Inner Ethical Being, often mistaking it for the voice of a god, which it is not. One must not attempt to escape the world by
 page 85
retreating for prolonged periods into one’s Inner Ethical Being, for to do so is to shirk one’s mission on earth. The Inner Ethical Being is the basic being, giving perspective and meaning to life and refuge from terror. It may even help assuage the problems associated with brain turbulence and degradation, but it performs no miracles and effects no magical cures. A cure can only be effected by a proper restructuring of the affected areas of the brain system.
        Each individual retains ultimate responsibility for his or her mental, emotional, ethical, and physical health and well-being. Evasion or avoidance of this responsibility by attempting to assign it to some school, religion, or government is unacceptable in Pleneurethics. Assistance may be requested and received from others, but such responsibility cannot be shifted. One’s responsibility for his or her personal well-being also extends to what one puts into one’s body. Drugs, smoke, vapors, or liquids that change the mentality do so by altering brain tissues and impairing system fidelity. Anything that unnaturally alters brain tissue is potentially dangerous to the individual and to the vigor and advancement of the civilization that indulges its use.
        Structuring laws and institutions in terms of an enlightened and creative brain energy economy best fosters civilization. Evaluating the overall cerebellar impact of various proposed actions is more relevant in evaluating the common good than assessing it in terms of money, material, metaphysical belief, or some form of government.

The Benefits of Pleneurethics       
        What are the benefits of Pleneurethics? Pleneurethics does not waste time on surface symptoms. It goes to the prime cause of chronic illness. There are no dangerous side effects from Pleneurethics, as there sometimes are from some treatments in drug therapy. In fact, even psychoanalysis and theological efforts at healing have undesirable side effects because they may delay proper treatment and usurp precious cerebellar energy from the chronically ill, thereby intensifying the ailment. In contrast, Pleneurethics approaches the whole truth of healing squarely and no part of its practice is detrimental to the patient.
        Pleneurethics denies the excesses of sophomoric intellectualism, where all is theory based on concatenation of additional theory without sobering tests in reality. In the past, a chronically suffering person
 page 86
 was expected to sit dumbly by while the shamans of religion and medicine circled dizzily about him, in ever more exasperating and financially crippling spirals, while the cause of his or her degenerating illness deteriorated unabated. Pleneurethics introduces a rationality to thought concerning various occurrences in the human body, hitherto thought to be caused by some mystery or scientific mechanism too complex for the common man to understand. Pleneurethics refuses, for example, to believe that bacteria and virus are the first cause of chronic disease as it occurs in men and women outside the laboratory. It also refuses to accept the notion that there is an unconscious mind capable of performing in the manner indicated by some psychiatrists. While there is without question a subverbally subconscious agency existing in people, this agency is not the mind. It is the brain, and because of this mistake psychiatry has uniformly failed to cure chronic illness of the mind or the body.
        Pleneurethics refuses to believe that some holy or evil spirit is responsible for disease. There is no holy or evil spirit of supernatural and mysterious genesis that provides the power for health or disease on a personal basis.
        Pleneurethics also does not believe that a poor diet, a pinched peripheral nerve root in a lateral spinal foramen, or a sedentary living regime are the causes of chronic illness. Chronic illnesses are the result of chronic brain overload and structural distortion caused by a severe trauma to a major sector of the bioductory system. This trauma is then reflected through the spinal cord and other systems to chronically depress the brain, which may be complicated by other acute disorders of a mental origin, chemical genesis, or dietary etiology. This is why Pleneurethics refuses to give drugs or recommend surgery as a cure for chronic illness, although these procedures may be useful in an emergency. Both approaches are traumatic which actually reduce the  chances for survival in some advanced cases of chronic illness.
        All of these methods may be temporarily beneficial in the treatment of some acute disorders, but the use is very often contra-indicated as a cure for chronic illness. The reprehensible thing about the entire matter is that many schools of healing use them individually as an entire line of therapy for all disease. Such use may be tantamount to criminality or malpractice.
 page 87
        If it is known that the brain furnishes power and shape for the mind, then one can easily see how chronic brain instabilities can cause correlative problem patterns in the range and force of the thought, and concurrently in the somatic organ systems. This is why the normal decline in brain capability of the very aged produces mental and physical frailties, and why a youth may suffer an abrupt diminution of mental and physical acuity after suffering a brain or bioductory system trauma in an accident. The cause of chronic illness patterns may in some cases be in the child’s parents.
        With this new knowledge, it is possible to identify easily and to cure people with marked mental instability long before they are placed in stressful situations. This might prevent them from shooting a senator, killing an entire family, or destroying themselves because they think the world is a terrible place.
        Pleneurethics also frees people from a mental bondage to an ancient and mystical concept of a jealous and vengeful deity. The human being is recognized as a legitimate creature of an orderly universe. As such, he is not subject to arbitrary treatment by a fickled god, because the source of personal goodness and morality does not reside outside himself; it comes through an internal ethical consciousness normally resident within each person. This personal consciousness is legitimate and genuine and only needs encouragement. Persons cannot be discredited by the self-serving wishes of others who would degrade and unnaturally restrain a being in order to elevate themselves and their outmoded concepts of philosophy and theology.
        Pleneurethics is not the philosophy for the mystic, the connivant, or the opportunist. Rather, Pleneurethics is a philosophy for the rational, for the responsible, for all that measure success in terms of ethical conduct and true understanding instead of monetary gain or accumulations of power. It is also a philosophy that understands that an individual’s thoughts and actions are tallied immediately within himself or herself here on earth. Consequences for all thoughts and deeds are thus summarily rendered and immediately confronted in terms of bountiful health or depleted neural resources and chronic illness. This is why all people should be neurologically prudent.
