I classified them as acute symptoms in the hands, and as chronic ills or crystallized sedimentations in the feet, which obstruct the pranic current circuits and waves in the body from the head to the feet, and their return currents, called a reflex response. This is illustrated to some extent in charts No. 4 and 5 in Book 5. This type of response and reflexes can be found and established by means of POLARITY THERAPY, all over the body. The Therapy itself has been described and charted by artistic hand-drawn illustrations in my books for doctors and students. Chart No. 4 in Book II gives a brief synopsis of it for diagnosis and tracing the superior and inferior corresponding tension fields.

Hermes refers to the vibratory prana life principle as the universal agent, Chiram. This astonishing correlation of the secrets of life-observations in the past, can now be verified by anatomical and physiological scientific research and tests, some of which are given in detail in the two books of Dr. Harold Ives Magoun, Sr. of Denver, Colorado.[1] Linking the labors of the thinkers of the past, to the present, is indeed a helpful encouragement and will benefit all humanity in time of acceptance.

The terms, 'primary respiration mechanism' and 'Craniopathy' were discovered and coined by William Garner Sutherland, D.O.[2] in his lifetime research on the cerebrospinal fluid movement and its vital energy pulsation in relation to Osteopathy and health. Its basis was sought in the hydrostatic pressure fields of the body fluids. (But prana was not mentioned or identified as a vital force.)

To that research was added years of effort in scientific study of correlation and superb artistic illustrations of anatomy and physiology by the able Doctor of Osteopathy, Harold Ives Magoun, mentioned above, in his first and second (1966) editions of the remarkable book, "Osteopathy in the Cranial Field".

Such art and research is a rare accomplishment and deserves our thanks, and acceptance by science.
