+ CST and bowed legs? - December 05

***QUESTION***

Hi John,
As always, superb and enjoyable! I feel like an empty sponge, ready to absorb and learn - the only problem seems that one tends to forget most of what one has absorbed, at this stage of ones life!

Have you had any success with bowed legs? Am going to have to work on a baby about 16 months old. He has nearly all his teeth (molars too) already which is a bit abnormal? If I hold his upper legs together, that part looks totally normal, but the lower legs then cross over with the feet facing nearly sideways. The problem seems to be in the ankles, so that the legs have to adapt? They live in the bundus where I have been, so I will only be able to see him once a month.
Enjoy your day.

>>>MY COMMENTS:

Nellian, it's worth checking to see if he was lying in an awkward position in the womb but I don't think that is the case here because when I add the bowed legs to what you've said about him having all his teeth, I think it's more likely to be a case of a disturbance when he was developing in the womb.

Think of embryonic development like an orchestra playing a piece of music. Once the performance starts it plays through to the end. If one of the musicians makes a mistake or drops their instrument, the orchestra won't stop and restart, they just keep going.

Remember that the first 8 weeks of our embryonic life is the time when all organs, systems and tissues are outlined. If that process is disturbed or interrupted, we can get all sorts of problems. Cleft palate is a good example. If the two Maxillae haven't met by around the 7th week, then they never meet.

Disturbances to the process after the 8th week will cause problems in refinement or development of the systems and structures outlined in the first 8 weeks.

It sounds like your boy has had a bit of both.

That's great John, what do I do about it?

Getting that developmental piece of music to play again is a bit like trying to remember on old childhood song. You can remember bits of it but remembering ALL the words is tricky. It's the same with helping a persons system reactivate developmental energetics. It's possible but not
easy.

The most remarkable demonstration of it I ever had in clinic was an 87 year old man who was in constant pain and loosing power in his legs from stenosis of his vertebral canal.

During treatment, he managed to access the notocord part of his embryonic development music and the cells around his vertebral canal started to migrate away from the area where his physical notocord used to be, just like they did when he was an embryo. His vertebral canal consequently got larger and his symptoms went away. It was bloody
remarkable!

That's great John but how did you facilitate that?

Think of a spy movie. Remember the scene where the rookie spy was about to walk into the unguarded vault but was stopped by the older more experienced spy who then sprays an aerosol of some stuff in the air and reveals a web of infrared sensor beams and we nod our heads and think, 'Man, this movie is full of clichés.'

The point of the analogy is you firstly need to know there is something there, the energetic blue print in which the developmental music is contained and secondly you need some of that magic aerosol, which in our case is our intention.
