Understanding
the Messages of your Body
Great
for patients and required advanced reading for VM6
Jean-Pierre
Barral. 240 pages.
We
are all born with certain parts of our bodies that are less healthy
than others, and as the stresses and traumas of life accumulate, these
areas become what Jean-Pierre Barral calls our bodies'
"weakest link." This is especially the case with our
internal organs.
In
this book, Barral discusses each organ and its complex
relationship with the rest of the body, explaining how pain can
originate with an emotional upset that creates distress in an organ,
or how a physically damaged organ can cause emotional problems. |

Visceral Vascular Manipulations
Required Reading
for Viscerovascular classes
Jean Pierre
Barral DO & Alain Croibier DO
This
work demonstrates a novel approach to visceral osteopathy. Basing
their ideas on anatomy and physiology, Jean-Pierre Barral and Alain
Croibier propose manipulation of the arteries to treat the intestines
and other internal organs by increasing their blood flow. The
arteries, elastic and muscular in structure, and the innumerable nerve
filaments which surround them, react ideally to manual treatment. To
be effective, however, these manipulations must be specific and
precise.
Thanks to the authors’ long experience as therapists, their mastery of
osteopathic techniques and the aid of ultrasound technology, they have
devised innovative techniques to improve the visceral vascular
circulation. In this book the authors show the various sites of the
principle pulses of the body and summarize the physiology of the
circulation of the blood. The main organs and their physiology are
addressed and include the heart, pancreas, small intestine, colon and
other abdominal structures as well as the regions of the neck, skull
and pelvic cavity.
Rich
in detailed, high quality illustrations, this book serves as both an
anatomical reference and a guide to carrying out visceral vascular
manipulations in the most effective way possible.

The Second Brain
Michael Gershon MD. 336 pages
Dr. Michael Gershon has devoted his
career to understanding the human bowel (the stomach, esophagus, small
intestine, and colon). His thirty years of research have led to an
extraordinary rediscovery: nerve cells in the gut that act as a brain.
This "second brain" can control our gut all by itself. Our
two brains -- the one in our head and the one in our bowel -- must
cooperate. If they do not, then there is chaos in the gut and misery
in the head -- everything from "butterflies" to cramps, from
diarrhea to constipation.
Dr. Gershon's work has led to radical new understandings about a wide
range of gastrointestinal problems including gastroenteritis, nervous
stomach, and irritable bowel syndrome. The Second Brain
represents a quantum leap in medical knowledge and is already
benefiting patients whose symptoms were previously dismissed as
neurotic or "it's all in your head."

Integral Anatomy Series, Volume 1,
Skin and Superficial Fascia DVD
Gil Hedley PhD, 100 Minutes
In what may be the most visually
surprising and important sequences in the series, skin and superficial
fascia are demonstrated as whole body layers in their superficial and
deep projections. The layers are dissected on camera and presented in
detail in their variations and in their implications for overall
health. The visuals include a stunning off-body example from the male,
and the entire superficial fascia of the female form is demonstrated
off body as a singular layer and discussed in its wide ranging
importance.
This disk represents an important contribution to our understanding of
these two most external layers of the human form. Only through a
thorough familiarity with and understanding of these two layers can
that which lay beneath them be truly comprehended. Anyone who wants to
access the layers of deep fascia, muscle, viscera and bone must feel
through these outer layers knowingly. The material found on this disk
is unique, cannot be found in books, and represents a leap beyond
established regional perspectives. |

Integral Anatomy Series, Volume 2,
Deep Fascia and Muscle DVD
Gil Hedley PhD, 110 Minutes
In this volume the whole body
continuities of deep fascia and muscle are demonstrated in detail and
dissected on camera to demonstrate their relationships to underlying
and overlying structures. Following through with themes initiated in
the first volume, visual presentations and discussions of the
practical implications for professional practice of the layer by layer
demonstration of human form are carried deeper into the body.
A comprehensive understanding of these
deeper layers requires a thorough understanding of the more
superficial ones. All are strongly encouraged to engage the material
in Vol. 1 to achieve a full appreciation and understanding of Vol. 2.
The material found on these disks is unique, cannot be found in books,
and represents a leap beyond established regional perspectives |

Integral Anatomy Series, Volume 3,
Cranial and Visceral Fascia DVD
Gil Hedley PhD, 113 Minutes
This volume covers the fascial and
membranous layers which surround the cranial and visceral spaces.
You've heard of the dura, arachnoid, pia, endothoracic fascia, pleura,
transversalis fascia, peritoneum, and pericardium. These layers are
literally impossible to understand by looking at books or by hearing
about them in classes, and are rarely demonstrated clearly even in the
laboratory.
A comprehensive understanding of these deeper layers requires a
thorough understanding of the more superficial ones. All are strongly
encouraged to engage the material in Vols. 1 & 2 to achieve a full
appreciation and understanding of Vol. 3. The material found on these
disks is unique, cannot be found in books, and represents a leap
beyond established regional perspectives. |

Integral Anatomy Series, Volume 4,
Viscera and Their Fascia DVD
Gil Hedley PhD, 133 Minutes
This volume covers the viscera of the
abdominal, pelvic and thoracic spaces, and the fascia through which
they relate. This volume also introduces into the mix of examples an
unembalmed female form.
The story of the layers of the form is
continued where Vol. 3 left off, once the layers of the new form have
been reflected in turn. The various organs are carefully explored at a
pace coherent with the viscera themselves. The examples of the
embalmed male and female form, whose viscera present clearly, create
an ideal contrast to the unembalmed female form in which many
adhesions are identified. The viewer is thus enabled to see both
normal relationships and movements, as well as the sequelae to
pathologies and surgeries. |

Muscle
Attitudes DVD J.C.
Guimberteau, MD, 25 Minutes
In this film, J.C. Guimberteau, a
surgeon and scientist, and J.P. Delage, a scientist,
show that the muscle is a contractile structure fully inserted into
the network of the multi-fibrillar system already described as being
beneath and within the skin, and not separate from it. From the
anatomical point of view, they believe that there is no break in
continuity, and that all tissue sheaths around or in the muscle -
epimysium, perimysium or endomysium - are in fact, one unique framing
tissue in continuity with sliding tissues within which the organs are
embedded. In actuality the muscular cells are set inside this
microfibrillar, dispersed-patterned architecture. |

Strolling Under the Skin DVD
J.C. Guimberteau, MD, 25 Minutes
This video contains some of the most
fascinating images of living fascia ever developed. Dr. Jean Claude
Guimberteau is a plastic and hand surgeon who has been researching the
body's 'sliding system' that allows fascial planes to move on each
other. The beauty and excitement of this film is that it is living
fascia in a living person, and so beautifully filmed that no one can
see this video unmoved. The sheer poetry of the images is enough, but
you also learn how the collagen, ground substance, water and fat work
together
to make the 'sliding system' -- the body's interconnected system of
loose connective tissue. |

Skin Excursion DVD
J.C. Guimberteau, MD, 25 Minutes
The Skin Excursion extends Dr. J.C.
Guimberteau's exploration of living fascia to the skin and the layers
immediately beneath the skin. The skin, the boundary of this optimally
efficient world, has not really been studied in its
morphodynamic aspect and in its continuity with the rest of the body.
The aim of this film is to show the existence of mobility and
mechanism, and the architectural organization of the epidermis, dermis
and hypoderm in complete
continuity with the inner architecture.
