What cleans out the brain?

In August of this year the University of Rochester USA posted a Youtube link describing their findings on research they have been doing on Alzheimer's.

It has been found that Alzheimer's sufferers have a build up of amyloid between the neurons in the brain that cause the neurons to die.

Using mice they have been trying to determine how to eliminate this build up of amyloid and they have come to the conclusion that Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) is the brains cleaning agent.

Dubbed the "Glymphatic System", the CSF follows the artery routes to the brain and then passes through the brain clearing out any debris on the way and then exits down the route of the veins. When experiments on increasing the flow of CSF in mice with amyloid build up were conducted it was found that up to 50% of the amyloid was removed.

This understanding may have implications for traumatic brain injuries, strokes and Parkinsons suffers.

As Craniosacral Therapists we know the importance of improving the flow of CSF through out the body!

Now thats something to think about.

Anything is possible.

What an amazing couple of months we have been having with the Olympics and now the Paralympics.

If there is one thing that stands out to me is the joy of realising that anything is possible. I feel it in my body as a shivering sensation of excitement and infinite possibilities.

When the athletes are in their "zone" all the years of training become intuitive and their subconscience effortlessly talks to their mind enabling them to perform beyond anything they had achieved before.

Learning to listen to our subconscience/ soul/ super conscience is something that we can all do so we to can achieve beyond what we have ever dreamed of.

Using the tools of Craniosacral Therapy "Imagery and Conversation"we as therapists can facilitate that connection between your subconscience and your mind. Enabling you to awaken to your greatest potential so you to can be in your "zone" and perhaps feel the shivery sensation of excitement and infinite possibilities.

Have fun!
