We are a group of different origin professionals who had the chance to meet, to state our cultural origins, our experiences and to understand that to resolve the true great problems of complex pathologies, we needed one each other. We say that posturologists (physio-therapists - chiropractors - osteopathists -body/builders-ath-letes) could never achieve final results in their therapeutic treatments as they didn't succeed in understanding and removing one of the most important elements, negatively affecting myo-fascial postural balance: the dental occlusion pathologic relation.
Besides we talk about gnathologists, orthodontists, paradontologists, maxillo-facial surgeons who, following the whole odontostomatologic culture and understanding that it was in contrast with human anatomy and physiology and tending towards neuro-muscular function concepts, felt to face problems without being able to work them out: caused by a pathologic cranial sacral respiration.
We talk about very clever oculists who, even using the most recent equipments, didn't succeed in understanding some pathologies that seemed to be irresolvable but that, on the contrary, have given excellent, almost miraculous, results only working out some occlusal or cranial-sacral respiration problems. So as, some occlusal and postural problems can be resolved after normalizing the oculomotors activity.
Whe have observed that the deglutition re-education physioterapist's work is useless or easy if the same professional acts on a patient with or without a normalized cranial respiration.
We have noticed a normalized cranial respiration regularizing orthodontically an occlusion, we have also observed the uselessness of an orthodontic treatment in presence of a pathologic cranial respiration.
Therefore the concept that a cranial respiration balance must follow or be joined to each orthodontic treatment rises from this experience.
We have merely hoped to normalize an occlusion or an altered cranial respiration without resolving a bad podologic impairment.
We have observed a foot pollex valgus (dx or sn) and the consequent impairment of the same side oculomotors (dx + dx, sn + sn).
In our statistics it's costant to see a relation between a partus caesareus or difficilis and an altered cranial respiration from which postural, occlusal, respiratory, ocular problems can rise interacting more or less negatively. Every person who has had a more or less important trauma (a ski fall, reflex-cervical knock, a coccyx beating running and slipping downstairs etc...) has had also his cranial-sacral respiration altered. A prosthesis, an orthodontic treatment, a selective moulage, not matching with neuromuscular occlusion, can modify negatively the cranial respiration and balance of all the human body myo-fascial system.
We are sure we can find some more correlations working together and with other professionals who know the bioenergies great problems. Now we collaborate with acupunturists, homeopathists, holistic odontologists, vascular surgeons, orthopedists, medical-legal, family physicians, pediatrists, phoniatric-physicians, otolaringologists, angiologists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, laboratory physicians.
We can prove our researches by T.E.N.S., Kinesiography and electromyography. Our review, titled like our scientific group, "I.A.P.N.O.R." will try to synthesize the journey of the man pushed everywhere by his curiosity for knowledge.
Everyone has got his own truth, but not "the truth". If we could put together all these truths, we'd never have the complete one about the man because he wasn't born perfect and unchangeable like a scorpion but imperfect and in continuous evolution.
We'd like to have the baronial, sectional, nosense medicine finished.
It's time to look at the man in his total aspect with all of his interactive organs in a phylogenetic singleness towards life and evolution, always in progress, of the whole human race. The purpose of the review is to communicate, to exchange researches and results together, so that everyone could partecipate to the wonderful research adventure to be able to help in a better way the man in his daily trouble. This review is written in English and in Italian because we'd like to send it all over the Universities of the world, and it will be published every four months for the moment.
The articles will be issued in instalments to permit to as many "voices" as possible to explain their own point of view.
On the other side the review is open to requests of explanations, exacteness and also objections. It will mean that we are talking together.
This is the aim of I.A.P.N.O.R and of its review.
