Видео

Thank you very much, this is extremely precious for me, I lacked any documentation backing up the video, now perhaps I may find it.

Oh that's interesting. Have you found any leads on that documentary??

@@willbephore6178 I have not.

@@waterjar27 Okay, thanks anyhow for the quick reply.

This is not nonsense. This research demonstrates the far reaching influence of traumatic events, all too common in life, and all too influential in shaping our lives. Such understanding points towards the significant relationship between cause and effect. Osteopathy is based on that awareness of cause and effect, and provides a profound solution for much of the suffering in life. It is unfortunate that the rabbits had to suffer in providing this demonstration. It is fortunate that the relationship between trauma and disease is so clearly demonstrated. This is the point.

@@osteodoc but isnt this known since hipocrates? What is new, where is the practical relevance? When you Breakfast your leg and dont train Proper, it will have an effect. Who knows if the rabbits quality of life was effected? Doesnt the Body compensate? It has an effect yes. So what.

@@konstantinmuller6725 You are asking good questions. It sounds like these are new ideas for you. Yes, this understanding is ancient. It’s just not common in today’s medical system. This is a different way of understanding health and disease. Health is dynamic. Our capacity to handle adversity varies from person to person, and situation to situation, and can become overwhelmed. If an insult is small, the body is certainly able to compensate, but always at some cost. When the trauma is too great, unfortunately the body may not be able to fully compensate, resulting in chronic pain and disability... even heart disease, as this video demonstrates. We can certainly heal from a broken leg. But it’s not always that simple. Sometimes, a traumatic event alters the normal resting state, so that a constant irritability becomes the norm. Consider the possibility that aberrant neural activity, with diminished vascular supply, can have devastating physiologic effects. Devastating effects that can possibly be corrected with the precise application of relevant hands-on treatment. As I said above, this is a different paradigm for understanding health and disease. It does not replace the disease model. It simply adds greater understanding. Osteopathy has the potential for treating at the level of cause, and can possibly offer a profoundly effective solution, when nothing else will help.

​@@konstantinmuller6725 1) It's always good, to consider the historical context when taking about historical documents. At the time Louisa Burns did her main scientific work osteopathic medicine in the USA was already heavily adapted to the allopathic system (esp. after the Fletcher report in 1910). The original osteopathic idea to use the somatovisceral and viscerosomatic reflex mechanisms by treating the osteopathic centers (spinal segments) was already replaced by the idea, that osteopathic manipulations are mainly applied, when patients suffer from parietal problems. (Strain-Counterstrain, MET, Myofacial Relaease Techniques). This assimilation to allopathic medicine was the price early osteopathy paid for forgetting their roots and ignoring the literature from the founding years, which contain an incredibly complex (and still modern) approach. Politically it was all about getting into the system (good example: 'California Merger' in the 1960th). The identity crisis of osteopathy that started ca. 100 years ago continues until today. Thus Burns work was already more or less forgotten in her life time (Irvin Korr revived it in the 1950th 1960th). 2) Louisa Burns is incredibly important for osteopathy, as esp. her first book (Basic principles - 1905) contains passages in the first part, which are - from a medical historical point of view - absolutely fascinanting, as they clearly show, that it was original osteopathy, which first offered a therapeutical approach based on Rudolf Virchows clelluar pathology (and Claude Bernards expansion of it - the idea of 'milieu') and NOT REGULAR MEDICINE. Long stroy, which can't be explained here fully (I give 2-days-seminars to explain this groundbreaking historical insight based on the original texts of the foundingfathers and -mothers of osteopathy) 3) NOTHING in medicine is new when you look at the GENERAL principles. You find EVERYTHING in the antique world. There the foundations were laid for the two basic medical philosophies, which still dominate the Western cultures: The constitutional medicine (working on the 'forms' affecting indirectly the physiology - trusting nature) and the solidarpathological apporach (repairing mistakes of natural processes - mistrust of nature). These two 'plays of healing' never changed since 2500 years. Just the costumes and decoration. 4) Practical value: The primary idea of science is to question things and to find out, NOT to be practical. The last is a quite new idea, since economy & policy dominates the financial resources for scientific work esp. since the age of industrialization. The result: lots of technical knowledge without reflecting, if that kind of knowledge does really support mankind to life a 'GOOD' life (the basic question of ancient philosophy, when science and philosophy still was one). 5) "It has an effect yes. So what." That's the difference that science makes. They do not declare an observation as truth 'per se', but want to be sure and exact. History shows, that obvious observations of mankind very often turned out to be wrong. AND: It might be sufficient for us to say: It's like that. True scientists want more: They want to know EXACTLY the REASON for phenomenons - no matter if the answer is practcal or not. This pressure comes from politics and economy as 'Knowledge is Power' (Thomas Hobbes) I hope this helps, that the content of Burns video can be better apprechiated in a broader historical context. P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. It's not my mother language... ;-)

@@jolandos-verlag I can't thank you enough for this historical perspective sir. I was presented this video in my osteopathic college (CEO Montreal) but without any proper structured historical context and documents. I feel like the history of osteopathy in general was only very briefly exposed in my first year but then never presented in a formal enough way. If you have any online-accessible documentation regarding your 2-day seminar (your second point) I would love to know more about that.

Glad you enjoyed the video, Nigel! Sorry I do not have any knowledge of other similar videos... I would also love to see others!

Sorry, Alexandre, I do not know. Perhaps the Louisa Burns research committee at the AAO, might be helpful.

Well that's a start! Thank you.
