The Art, Principles and Practice of Bilateral Nasal Specific – A Practitioner’s Manual

Description

This is the first manual dedicated to the practice of Bilateral Nasal Specific (BNS), a form of craniofacial manipulation associated with some of the most remarkable clinical successes in the annals of manipulative therapy, in particular, and medicine, in general. André Saine learned in 1981 how to perform BNS directly from Dr. Richard Stober, the undisputed master of this technique, while studying at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Since then, he has taught it to many groups across North America and Europe. As one of the last BNS instructors who is a direct student of Dr. Stober, he felt a responsibility to ensure that Dr. Stober’s teachings are not only preserved but also widely disseminated, with the hope that future generations of physicians will make this practice accessible to all.

The practitioner will find in this manual:

• The basic elements of BNS, along with its history and evolution.
• A detailed overview of the indications for BNS, supported by numerous case histories and testimonials.
• A documentation of as many details as possible about the relevant knowledge for the practice of BNS.
• Essential information about BNS, including what patients can expect, the duration of effects, potential side effects, precautions, and contraindications.
• A clear overview of the equipment needed to practice BNS.
• A detailed description of how to practice BNS.
• An attempt to explain how manipulating the bones of the face and head can have such a significant impact on nearly all bodily functions.

The six chapters that compose this illustrated manual are complemented by ten appendices. While the chapters explore different aspects of BNS, the appendices offer important contextual and supplementary information for physicians planning to practice BNS, including:

• A comprehensive list of indications for BNS.
• An examination of the current knowledge of how the disruption of the cerebrospinal fluid movement can impact the brain and body functions.
• A review of the many negative effects of nasal obstruction and mouth breathing on health, and especially on cognition, sleep, and energy.
• An overview of the key developments in modern manipulation, with a particular focus on cranial manipulation.
• A comprehensive overview of the importance and the key benefits that individuals with mental illness could gain from spinal and cranial manipulation.
• An illustrated review of the relevant anatomy for the practice of BNS.

Incidentally, BNS and homeopathy form a great marriage. While homeopathy fine-tunes the vital force, BNS liberates it.
