What is N.O.T

(Neural OrganizationTechnique) What Can It Do for Me?

Where It All Began

Early in 1979, Dr Carl Ferreri D.C. Brooklyn, New York, recognized the importance of the survival systems off the body. These systems are in place to insure our ability to respond to certain stimuli, to feed & sustain, protect, repair and/or create new life: i.e. SURVIVAL!

As each system was examined, an order and priority program became evident. The logic of the living body was starting to show itself. Dr Ferreri DC recognized that the body and its multitude of functions worked precisely like a computer (or the otherway around), with very specific programs for every eventuality. Some programs, like the basis for survival, were built in, and other programs were developed, learned or put together as the need arose.

Further investigation proved that these learned programs were built on the primary ones and therefore were, in essence, extensions of them. Still further investigation recognized the specific neurological priority systems of these programs. This is the “blueprint” of our nervous systems functioning! If we are to regain our health we must have an organized nervous system!

By dealing with CAUSES and NOT SYMPTOMS we are able to correct many dysfunctions and conditions which have often been difficult to treat in the past. Such conditions as T.M.J./ Whiplash Injuries, Head Injuries, Scoliosis, High Blood Pressure, Menstrual Disorders, Dyslexia, Immune Disorders and Downs Syndrome can all be improved and often corrected!

WHY N.O.T.? Why Not! It will change your life!

The Neural Organization Technique (N.O.T.) got its name for exactly what it is intended to do.

N -eural is for Nerve. O-rganization is obviously for Organiz-ation and T-echnique is a way of doing. It is a way of organizing the nervous system and therefore the body it controls. When you experience N.O.T. your life will be changed because N.O.T. is able to change someone’s life on purpose, almost everytime!

This neural organization is the very thing that has given us the ability to survive and to function under every possible situation. Some of the out-ward signs are the coordination of our stride or “gait”, when we walk and run, our sense of balance and posture, hand–eye coordination, sense of direction etc.

The organized neurological function of the brain itself depends on the very subtle and synchronous respiratory motion to the bones of the skull which pumps the Cerebral Spinal fluid. This is responsible for proper circulation and drainage within the brain in the skull. We must consider the many reflex (automatic) neurological functions which centre the pelvis to gravity and to the head, and those which right the head to gravity, the environment and the pelvis to maintain the alignment of the spine. Using Kinesiology (muscle response testing) as a tool of evaluation we are able to identify and correct these dysfunctions and as a result we see dramatic changes take place, almost immediately.

Cranial or Head Injuries

You may have any of a number of chronic health, emotional or structural problems, that could be the result of a cranial injury which has gone undetected. The injury to the skull could have happened long ago or very recently, but the symptoms you are now experiencing have not been associated with it. Cranial or head injury is probably the single most undiagnosed, and therefore untreated physical problem on the face of the earth.

You hit, or were hit on the head. You may have had a whiplash with no external signs of injury. You were in an accident or fell and struck your head. Cuts and bruising may have happened, it got better, you forgot about it, so did everyone else – but your nervous system didn’t !! Think about it – have you felt a little different or a little disorganized ever since? There is of course, no obvious connection, but that is the truth of the matter! After you have it corrected, you will generally begin to return to your old self. BUT, if you don’t know that there is a problem, how can you fix it? This is where N.O.T. can be of tremendous help. You can identify it AND fix it, at the same time !!

Because the injury involves nerves and muscles that hold the head on the shoulders, a system of reactive muscles comes into play and this also affects the stability of the hips and pelvis, becoming a major player in the cause of low back problems and pain!

T.M.J. (Temporo-Mandibular Joint)

Research by Dr. Ferreri D.C. has led to the understanding of the cause of and the treatment from such diverse conditions as bed-wetting, bladder incontinence, uterine and prostate problems, respiratory and circulatory problems stemming from diaphragmatic insufficiency, all sorts of back problems, and many more health problems. As further research was done, the sequence of taking food into the mouth, biting on it, chewing it thoroughly and then swallowing it (the feeding sequence) specifically related to the neurological control of the sequence of the digestive mechanism.

When the mouth is opened to accept food, the glands of digestion are activated. Biting down on the food causes the valves of the digestive tract to contract, dividing the digestive tract into three sealed chambers, each to process the food in turn. You can see as this continues, the importance of having the muscles around the jaw functioning correctly.

The JAW or T.M.J. is also involved when we speak, when we are in pain, when we are emotionally stressed, plus many more situations. It takes up over 80% of our brain’s function! As well, we may have clicking jaws, face pain, tinnitus. We can see the T.M.J. is of great importance to our health state.

Many times we find a close relationship between the jaw and the sacrum, often contributing to lower back pain and it is also involved with Dyslexia and Scoliosis

Dyslexia

Dyslexia, A.D.D. and Specific Learning Difficulties are ever present with many of our school children, often with no answers! It also affects many adults. Often eye tracking is a problem and auditory processing difficulties may be present. This means that the child cannot focus attention on what is seen or heard for very long. We have found that at the base of many of these problems is a disorganized nervous system! Many times there is a head injury, often from birth or accident as a baby.

When the various reflexes for the eyes, ears, T.M.J. are evaluated and reactivated, the child or adult begins to process the information in a more meaningful way. This, of course is what parents and teachers are looking for – and it is found in the N.O.T. programs!

Often, there will be emotional problems and food allergies to deal with, which can be easily attended to with Kinesiology. Dyslexia does not have to cripple anyone ever again!

Idiopathic Scoliosis

Scoliosis in NOT A SPINAL problem – the deformity of the spine is a result of having a condition we call SCOLIOSIS (curvature of the spine!).

The cause of the bending comes from having HYPERTONIC or TOO-TIGHT muscles pulling in a constant way, causing a rotation and bending of the spine over a period of time. Generally, an injury to certain reflexes found on the head and the pelvis, both front and back, and along with certain hormonal changes around the start of puberty, is a major cause.

New, Tried and Unproven

The N.O.T. procedures, used in conjunction with Kinesiology, and derived from research pertaining to Applied Kinesiology, Cranial, Sacro-Occipital, Chiropractic and Osteopathic techniques, are an organised examination/treatment protocol. N.O.T. is therefore not ‘new’, ‘tried’ or ‘unproven’.

What is new, tried and unproven is that for the first time ever in the healing arts, there is an organized neurologically correctly prioritized step-by-step procedural protocol, to address almost every condition. You can get results now, and on purpose!

You no longer have to rely on undemonstratable or unprovable theories. The answers lie in the body and its organized nervous system, and in our understanding of how it really works.

The answers lie in how we can right, centre, stimulate, balance and otherwise direct, organize or improve body function and the human condition. We must deal with the primitive or innate mechanisms and we must, therefore, be able to do this by hand, aided by an educated mind. There were no machines in the jungle.
