2024 - The NOW
November and December 2024
Rolling Like A Ball
This time I did not drop my yarn on the airplane and meet passengers as I chased a rolling ball of yarn!
Instead, I personally turned into a rolling ball on this trip.
Leaving Phoenix at 6:40 am, I arrived in San Jose at 7:20,
sailed through the rental car process and found myself in
Campbell, California at 8:15 sitting in a dental chair!
And fifty three years of my life were summarized in five minutes sitting in that dental chair in November 2024.
What adjectives can describe this kind of revelation?
extraordinary, incredible, unbelievable, staggering, stunning, astonishing, breathtaking
All of the above…
September and October 2024
Dental Adventures in October
Flying to San Jose the second time was more routine. On this trip I did NOT drop my ball of yarn while knitting and ‘meet and greet’ fellow travelers as my yarn rolled underneath four seats! The rental car routine was an unfortunate nightmare, with a 90 minute wait for the car.
.
And, while waiting, I received an email from my osteopath’s office stating that I had a dental appointment in Campbell, California at 1:00! Whoa! Where was Campbell, California and would I get my car in time?
This was only the preamble to unforeseen detours not to mention surprising
dental adventures about to occur
during the next 48 hours.

That perches in the soul-
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops- at all…”

A Time of Wonder
I wonder if a new medical paradigm
is emerging?
Awareness of
“Mewing”, the Glymphatic System and the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse
is growing worldwide
….all possibly stimulated and reinforced by the Tongue and the Swallow.
Medical possibilities abound.
Dialogue and Discussion
need to materialize as well.

Osteopathy meets Orthodontics
The intersection of the cranial osteopathic perspective with orthodontics is critical and revolutionary!
Patient awareness is mandatory when making orthodontic decisions.

The Glymphatic System Meets the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse
WHAT IS THE GLYMPHATIC SYSTEM?
“…to answer fundamental questions about this system…
we will need fresh perspectives, new techniques,
and collaborations across disciplines…”
WHAT IS THE CRANIAL RHYTHMIC IMPULSE (CRI)?
Are the unidentified ‘pulsations’ and ‘oscillations’
observed in current glymphatic research confirmation of
William Garner Sutherland’s 1899 ‘aha’ observation in medical school?
Will there be “collaboration across disciplines”?
Is Cranial Osteopathy
the “fresh perspective”?

Current Principles
Three principles in the evolving contemporary Cranial Concept
as outlined by Tasha Turzo, DO, cranial osteopath
specializing in orofacial development.
– Gumby Awareness –
Fascial Flexibility
– The Cornstarch Effect –
Touch, Tissue and Thixotropy
– Tensegrity and Biotensegrity –
Tension and Compression

Outside the Box

there exists a demand for that discovery.”

A Disease Theory
Within the context of a Disease Theory,
current treatment of disease processes
all share one basic assumption:
EXTERNAL CONTROL
is necessary to treat pathology.
Osteopathic Orientation
THREE GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF OSTEOPATHY
The philosophical foundations
inherent in an osteopathic orientation
should be clearly understood
before introducing the Cranial Concept.
