"Craniosacral Therapy Use in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus"

Back in the 80's my wife was subjected to premature and likely unnecessary surgery for a benign meningioma. That surgery is another story but after the surgery she couldn't open her mouth more than 1". Visits to two dentists left her with their diagnosis of TMJ and surgery. Somewhere we heard about a doctor that practiced Craniosacral Therapy. He fixed her inability to open her mouth after one brief session of mostly explanation and less than a minute of manipulation on her skull. He gave her a hard block of foam to lay the lowest part of the back of her skull on while laying on her back. He also showed me how to squeeze her head with my hands like he did. One hand on her forehead and the other on the lower back her skull. She felt movement at the sutures of her skull as the bones realigned and the locked jaw issue was immediately relieved. It also often works when she gets a rare headache. I said all this because the doctor told us how craniosacral therapy can open up the restriction to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid that he referred to as primary respiration. Here is a pubmed site titled "Craniosacral Therapy Use in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34109075/ This treatment by a doctor who specializes in Craniosacral Therapy is certainly cheaper and easier and actually deals with the cause of some types of Hydrocephalus rather than surgery. If the cranial manipulation works to restore normal function then the surgery is yet another expensive and risky "fix" that doesn't really fix the problem.

Agent 131711 is an an amazing researcher! His dinosaur hoax series is incredible! I have yet to read any of his investigations that aren’t mind blowing and meticulously researched.

My father had NPH that went undiagnosed until his gait issue caused a catastrophic fall. He had brain bleeding from the fall. He did have surgery and a shunt was placed, but he never regained his ability to walk and was incontinent.

Just recently an work associates husband was having balance and gait issues, memory issues were increasing. His primary care brushed it off as "old age". It took multiple trips to multiple specialists to finally get diagnosed with NPH. He had a shunt placed and is greatly improved.

So, I also think this is more common than we know, so being aware for ourselves and our loved ones is important.

So depressing. I feel pretty hopeless at this bullying cartel calling itself medical care. I'm so angry about it but I don't know what to do to help.

So you know, in number three of the twelve point summary, both links go to the same place.

See Dr Chris Exley and his work on Aluminiumin connection with the brain - he recommends a litre of silica water every day - I would also recommend getting white refined sugar out of your diet which are in just about every processed food -

Statins can’t help

And I wondered why the illness is called "normal pressure hydrocephalus"? Sounds so, well, normal!

As a retired neurologist, I recall our department making an effort to make us aware of normal pressure hydrocephalus. It’s called normal pressure, because the pressure measured by the spinal tap is usually in the normal range. When spinal fluid is removed, the exam often improves, as noted in a comment above. So, for neurologists trained with me, the diagnosis was often considered and sometimes concluded. The next step was to convince the neurosurgeon, who needed to perform the surgery. If the condition can be treated with cranial facial manipulation, that’s great! Many treatments are delayed because of the chain of doctors one has to go through before getting to the one who can do what is needed.

Just read a post that said Alzheimer’s is one of the diseases associated with a copper/zinc imbalance- too much copper, not enough zinc. Do they even do lab testing to determine the levels of mineral deficiencies or overload for this diagnosis?

A friend had normal pressure hydrocephalus. It happened after one of the Covid shots. Her symptoms were poor word recall and falling down. She was diagnosed by a spinal tap and immediately had to walk back and forth across the room in which her balance was restored. They put a shunt in and she was back to normal.
