NCR unlocks the skull so that the brain can freely expand and function at its full capacity. The skull begins to lock at birth as it is squeezed through the birth canal. Its various bones become compressed and jammed at the sutures and to this extent the meninges the rubber band-like sack that surrounds and protects the brain cannot fully expand. Physical and emotional traumas in any part of the body create a snowball effect, constricting the skull: the meninges tighten and the skull compresses, making the meninges tighten further, etc.

When the skull shape degenerates from its original design, the head no longer sits properly on the spine. The spine takes on a distorted shape to support a lopsided head, and the spinal muscles become tight to hold it in place. The muscles function like cables holding up as tree without this tightness, the person would fall over.

This is why so often massage and chiropractic provide only temporary relief: the spinal distortion and tight muscles are necessary to stabilize an imbalanced head. When symptoms are treated by merely straightening the spine and relaxing the muscles, the body returns to the dysfunctional and sometimes painful position because it's more stable overall. If instead one treats the cause by restoring the skull to its original design, the muscles relax and the spine returns to its optimal position on its own. Since this is truly a more stable position, it holds permanently (barring more physical or emotional trauma).

NCR is the only therapy that creates permanent, incremental change towards an optimally shaped and positioned skull and spine and thus an optimally functioning nervous system. This has profound physical effects, such as increased ease, flexibility, energy and mobility as well as relief from a variety of conditions, including breathing disorders, sinus problems, headaches, TMJ, neck and shoulder pain, muscle

spasms, scoliosis, seizures, vision problems, whiplash, dyslexia, insomnia, snoring, ear infections, hearing disorders, sleep apnea, dystonia and Parkinson's tremors. NCR also has profound mental and emotional effects, such as relief from anxiety, phobias, depression, hyperactivity, nervousness, learning disabilities and even lessening of the effects of Down's syndrome and Alzheimer's. A person feels more relaxed, happy and self-confident. Relationships improve. Learning becomes easier. Creativity is enhanced.

People receiving NCR also report an increased ability to concentrate and focus as well as a greater ease in achieving clarity and insight. Mediators and others who wish to develop themselves spiritually find that NCR makes this much easier and more joyful. The Age of Aquarius has promised a higher level in human consciousness and well being. NCR is a significant perhaps the most significant therapy facilitating this shift.

Take for example Xander Kriger who began treatment with Dr. Dean Howell, the founder of NCR, at 1 day of age. Xander, who is now 15 months old, has experienced approximately 24 treatments with Dr. Howell. When Xander had his 12-month checkup, doctors were amazed, saying that he was the most neurologically advanced baby they had ever seen. He was put through the tests for 18-month-old children and easily passed. Xander has been walking since 8 1/2 months of age. For months he's been able to grasp things effectively, operate many devices, even insert keys and open doors. Xander is also a happy, enthusiastic, curious and well-adjusted child. Dr. Howell does not believe that Xander is a super baby but merely normal unimpeded in his neurological development because his skull is unlocked and exerting no pressure on his brain. Most other children do not develop as quickly, and are functionally impeded even into adulthood, because they don't have this advantage.

Imagine if masses of children and adults received NCR. Our society would be transformed, propelled into an overall higher state of development with the vastly increased physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well being. Through NCR we could be happier and more at ease with one another. This would vastly reduce all individual and societal conflict. We would also be sharper mentally and clearer emotionally, making it easier to tackle world problems together and solve them. We would be better equipped with the creativity and insight to formulate a common vision of our future and to implement it.

There is no limit to what we can achieve now individually and collectively with optimal brain and nervous system functioning. Our full potential is waiting to be released with NCR therapy.
