“Structural Pleneurethics” is a phrase which references the special approach of Pleneurethics to diagnosis and treatment of disease. Structural Pleneurethics is actually structural medicine, but it is not affiliated in any way with archaic allopathic pharmacy.

The brain is postulated in Pleneurethics to be the central factor in much unexplained illness, as well as furnishing a central basis for sustained buoyancy of virtually irrepressible good health.

One important aspect of Pleneurethics is the study of the cause and effect of brain stress and disturbance, how to prevent it, and of how to correct it when prevention has failed either due to accident or ignorance of the patient.

Much brain disturbance is caused by structural stress. Such tension springs from various sources, but it all accumulates in the brain. There, each type reinforces the other, 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 acute, other forms are more lasting and chronic. The source of some brain disturbance is from within the individual and some is from outside.

The brain is in an unenviable biological position. It is subject to demand of the mind and mentality from one vector. From another vector, it is subject to the press of a worldly environment sometimes registered through the brain’s sensors. From still another vector, the brain is closely occupied with maintenance of a body from which it receives vital support like metabolic nourishment, waste servicing, geographic transportation, and provision for reproduction via the sexual apparatus. After the body has nourished the
 page 33
brain, cooled or warmed it, transported it, and provided for reproduction, the body can do little else.

The brain, when clear and clean and well-structured, responds with bell-like clarity to all that which is thrust upon it. But when the brain becomes sodden and de-structured from chronic traumatic over-burden and chronic undernourishment, it responds erratically and unnaturally, if it responds at all. Its dismal plight yields an inexorable devisive force to body systems; and the mind knows it has been betrayed.

Mind and body are not the same, as other disciplines proclaim. Instead, mind and body are postulated, in Pleneurethics, to be separate; and the neural system is the special mediating tissue that separates them.

The brain is a universal tissue capable of omni-directionally communicating both with the mind and the body as well as with world of communists and capitalists and hydrogen bombs. The brain 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

The bioductory system, the newly discovered anatomical system of Pleneurethics, is composed of discrete neural foramina, nerviducts in long bones, lateral spinal foramen, central spinal foramen, vertebral notches, soft nerve tract sheaths which connect to nerviducts in the long bones, and cranial foramen.

The duty of this structural system is to protect and to provide flexible and mobile support for the central and peripheral neural system. If the bioductory system, especially the central osseous sector, is traumatically maldeployed; it no longer protects the central neural system, but it acts as its slow executioner directly and indirectly through alteration of supporting physiological systems.

 page 34

The broken and destructured bioductory system absorbs large amounts of neural energy unproductively. It hinders the brain in efforts to restore itself. The chronically disordered bioductory system is the main source of chronic problems to the brain during the brain’s effort to maintain a proper balance of neural energy for use by the mind and 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 immediate area 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 way is obstruction of the flow of blood to and from the stricken area of the neural system. In some cases this may lead to 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 body organs through affected arteries and veins.

The third way is the disturbance to the brain caused by spinal cord trauma. This disturbance takes many characters depending upon the area of brain affected, ranging from unconsciousness to headache to hyper-irritability and 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 more cephalward are more severe.

The fourth way is mental reaction to brain tissue problems stemming from brain involvement of the third stage.

The fifth way finds all types of chronic bodily reaction to the brain difficulties of the third stage.

 page 35

The sixth way is the local trauma to the bioductory system itself in the immediate area of 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, the way it is attended to or ignored by the afflicted, and the nature and type of other 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 systems 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 pattern of stressful disorder in the bioductories, plus acute stresses introduced into the body from other vectors, determine the composite pattern of illness in the case.

Structure of the Mentality

The ethics of Pleneurethics is related to the structure of the mentality, and to neurological competence. The evil and sinful mentality imposes heavy neurological burden upon the individual and others, whereas the ethical mentality uplifts the level of the neurological balance and elevates its buoyancy.

Since Pleneurethics postulates that health is derived from overall neurological competence, it follows that the ethical mentality improves chances for health and success in life. Evil-doing inflicts people with weighty neurological encumbrances, thereby decreasing their chances for health and creative productivity. Here is seen the basis of the Pleneurethical postulate that ethics and morality influence levels of health an individual or civilization may enjoy.

 page 36

The structure of mentality mobilizes the forces of a vibrant brain and funnels them into a pattern of personal behavior. The structure of mentality predisposes people to a life ranging from hostility and bitter recrimination and assassination to sympathetic understanding and 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 and in other circumstances flexible without limitations. The structure of the mentality is paradoxical unless one understands the Pleneur­e­thical notions about its derivation and development.

Should the mind command mentality to give up its malstructure and suddenly become ethical, total conversion of all substructures in mentality would require years of substantial effort. Indeed, if such a person were even middle-aged, let alone in old age, when the first effort was inaugurated, total success might never be achieved.

It is incumbent then upon those responsible for child development that they assist children from the very beginning in the development of 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 becomes heavily charged with emotion-producing hormonal secretions. As unpleasant as this acute hormonal upset often is, the prolonged upset from chronic causes is far worse. Here a traumatized bioductory chronically goads the brain into a sustained provocation of glandular discharge. The result raises havoc with any or all gland operations. The pattern of the metabolic upset being of course prescribed by the pattern of bioductory disarray and resulting pattern of brain depleneurization.

The Brain

To achieve footing in biological reality, Pleneurethics identifies first with the brain. The structure of the brain and loading presented to it, and the capability of the brain to maintain itself and to provide normal patterns of energy output over extended periods of time are the corner stones of Pleneurethics.

The ability of the brain to receive a normal range of input and to produce optimum creative output is the prime concern of Pleneurethics. Exciting of the brain with an input and inducing it to produce an output may be thought of in terms of stress and tension. The interest is in enabling the brain to process faithfully ordinary amounts of tension, and in normalizing the range of tension present in the brain. Too much or too little stress is undesirable; the one leading to disaster from upsetting and depressing overload, the other to wasteful inactivity and boredom.

The difficult task of the brain is to sustain itself in a most difficult and often vexing environment composed of earth and flesh and mind. If the brain is alive, the basis for health is present. The extent to which the brain may be returned to normal after being diminished determines the level of health that will be achieved. Sickness finds no suitable place for permanent residence in the individual whose brain capability remains at optimum.

Pleneurethics does not classify sickness in terms of diseases beloved by medical science. Instead, Pleneurethics diagnoses ill health in terms of the prime cause of the reduced level of brain capability. Pleneurethics does this because such diagnosis is the only reliable sign that points directly to the correct route for effective therapeutic communication.

Therefore, in Pleneurethics people are not labeled as neurotic or psychotic or manic-depressives or cancerous or bilious. Instead, the central cause is found of the pattern of peripheral disorders; and treatment is asserted decisively at the malstructure which causes the central disorder from which the peripheral symptoms of chronic illness arise.

 page 38

The brain produces chemicals through the control of glandular secretions as one result of its function. These chemicals aid the brain in controlling the body. When the brain functions properly, a chemical equilibrium is preserved and health is achieved. But should the brain become disordered, quantity and quality of chemicals produced by glands will reflect the brain disorder and may even aggravate the original disorder through their side effects.

Doctors biased to chemistry attempt to normalize glandular imbalance and control hormonal influence on body and mentality by use of pharmaceuticals. However, effective as this approach may be in short-term laboratory tests, it does not correct the original brain disorder leading to an upset glandular chemistry and metabolism.

Knowledge of biochemistry will support Pleneurethics but will not supplant it, nor will biochemistry show the way to a cure. Despite the fact that alterations in brain biochemistry invariably accompany the chronic illness process, curative arrest and reversal of such illness will never be accomplished by biochemical therapy alone.

The adaptability of the brain is immense. It is this feature of the brain that enables people to live even when subjected to severe injury. Serious disease is often successfully compensated, for at least a time, by the brain even without any particular therapy. If the afflicted will but give the brain time to accomplish readjustment of its basic pattern of influence, most things will apparently be healed or compensated.

It is on this basis that many schools have made their fame and fortune. Rest and prayer, rest and pills, rest and special diet, rest and massage, rest and fasting, rest and sunshine, rest and fresh air, rest and change of climate always seemed to cure. Periods of rest give the brain time to conduct its adjustments.

The brain is tri-axially related with the mind and the bioductory system. The brain is on a neurophysical co-axial relationship with the bioductory system and on a neuro-mental co-axial relationship with the mind.

 page 39

Distorting tension imposed on the brain by malstructured bioductories or malstructured mentality are real and influential according to the character of each. Normal amounts of ordinary stress are beneficial to the structure of the brain by giving it an envigorating workout. Excess amounts of stress are harmful to brain tissue, and may hasten the destruction of the brain in chronic illness cases.

The brain accumulates tension from all sources and reacts according to the aggregate. Excessive stress depresses the capacity of the brain to entertain even normal amounts of stress. Such a brain is overloaded and over-reacts to even normal levels of stimuli.

All stress imposed on the brain diminishes its capability. Up to a normal amount of stress, the brain profits from being used. Beyond this level, the brain may suffer damage, first of a micro-structural form and later of a macro- or gross structural deterioration.

Once the structure of the brain has been inimically stressed, its pathological condition will be reflected to produce secondary symptoms of mental distortion and organic disorder. This secondary condition undermines the immediate environment of the brain still further, and it establishes a declivitous biological trend of progressively lower levels of health.

Now if a slanted therapy is aimed specifically at these secondary disorders, the treatment will have only ameliorative effect at best. At worst it will cause further harm to the total pattern of disorder through side effects, and through frustration of emergency biological arrangements to contain the original disorder.

Drug therapies, suggestive psycho-therapeutic therapies such as prayer, or special dietary practices are uniformly powerless to arrest, to reverse, or to correct the central cause of chronic illness. Sometimes these measures operate to increase overall aggravation of the chronic disorder.

The course of chronic primary pathology sweeps the afflicted into secondary pathologies as, say, obesity, and, at other times
 page 40
emaciation. It would be incorrect in Pleneurethics to address principal therapy at either the obesity or emaciation.

Attempts to control chronic obesity or emaciation artificially without first correcting and reversing the cause of the chronic illness which produced the obesity or emaciation is improper therapy. As harmful as the obesity and emaciation may be, artificially producing a normal weight while the original chronic condition rages unabated may be even more damaging to the suffering individual.

The Shape of Things

If Pleneurethics has a major preoccupation, it is with shape. The shape of things presages their use; and their role in the scheme of things is foretold by their profile.

It is from the shape of things that the glint is seen in the designer’s eye, and the reason behind the plan is known. It is from the shape of things that Pleneurethics derives its concept of the origin of the cosmos and its theology.

The shape of a face, the heft of a belly, and the spread of the galaxies are of significance in one way or another. Indeed, the shape of things, both animate and inanimate, reveals much. To examine and impartially interpret what is seen can be deep.

In Pleneurethics the observer seeks to determine the shape of the brain, the mentality, as well as the shape of the bioductory system; for each has profound influence on the shape of the brain and its ability to function.
