The Context for Using Laminine, ASEA, Hyaluronic Acid and Other
Recommendations for Health of Body and Brain
[Note, October 20, 2011:] This page is a reformatting of the original FlexAware®
introduction page [here]. During the FlexAware
certification training I realized how important is the integration of
nutrient support and autonomic nervous system dynamics in building a
strong immune system and in supporting the healing process.
This page is
intended to show the context for my recommendations that people add not
only FlexAware mind-body exercise to their Health Menu but also to include
Laminine Young Tissue Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and ASEA in their daily support program. I
am part of the network that includes doctors who are investigating
the benefits of Laminine for health of body and brain.
I encourage you to eventually look at the science that I describe on the
top part of this page, about the Biotensegrity matrix and the neuro-structural
benefits of FlexAware. The context for my use of Laminine, Hyaluronic Acid, ASEA and
the FlexAware exercises is very important, and the science behind it is
becoming stronger all the time. Keep your eyes on each of these and other
techniques that I support.

Note -- May 8, 2011: I attended the FlexAware® teacher
certification training Part I and experienced a powerful presentation by
orthopedic surgeon Stephen M. Levin, M.D. Below you will find an
introduction to his information and other important research and clinical
insights. I have also placed this on a page on my other site that
describes the interplay between the physical and the energy aspects of
human function:
Human Energy Anatomy.
Note -- May 10, 2011: I experienced the presentation of
FlexAware® by Steven Shafarman to members of the group known as the
Plexus Institute.
This is an organization dedicated to applying the new science of
Complexity Theory to the task of improving human life. There are public
meetings under the creative name, "Plexus DC Fractal" --
more about fractals on my teaching site. The announcement for the
FlexAware® presentation is below:
Complexity in Motion: Exploring
Complexity by Considering the Way Very Young Children Learn to
Walk, Talk, and Make Sense of the World
Very young children learn through an
innate self-directed spontaneous playful whole-person process,
"Organic Learning." How can we understand this process? What can
we discover from it about adults? About personal healing? About
organizations? About social transformation? How can we apply it
intentionally, in our personal lives and in our work?
This month we will explore Organic
Learning through dialogue and experientially, through movement.
Steven Shafarman has been developing the idea of Organic Learning
for several decades, building on the work of his mentor, the
Israeli neuroscientist, engineer, and judo master, Dr. Moshe
Feldenkrais. In science and society, the current dominant paradigm
is reductionist, mechanistic, dualistic, and deterministic. A new
paradigm is emerging with complexity science, and we will use
Organic Learning to formulate its conceptual foundations.
Join our guest, Steven Shafarman, who is
the creator of the FlexAware® approach to fitness,
exercise, and healing,
www.FlexAware.com. He is the author of five books and recently
completed the first FlexAware Fitness DVD. He lives in Washington
DC, teaches individuals and groups, and educates new FlexAware
teachers.
Note -- June 19, 2011:
Learning to do FlexAware® is fun and gives you more energy.
Exercises can be vigorous, or slow. They can also be done while in
a wheelchair or in bed. FlexAware®
can even be done using the imagination if motion is limited. I am
now a Certified FlexAware Teacher.

[He writes:] "...There are many health care
professionals
who have integrated biotensegrity in their thinking and
clinical practice. Here is a of list a few with
whom I have had direct contact, but there are many more.
They cover a variety of professions and use
biotensegrity in different ways. Biotensegrity is to be
considered a basic science that can be adapted to
various uses in various ways. You might want to
get in touch with any of those whose interest might
coincide with yours."
Dr. Levin's internet site includes links to the work of
several important researchers whose work is crucial to
the growing field of tensegrity modeling of human
function.

"Strolling Under the Skin" -- A DVD with a deep view of how Life
energies flow within the human body. This is the work of French
hand surgeon Jean-Paul Guimberteau, M.D., who discovered that a
new way is needed to describe what happens as the body converts
energy to movement. The music (e.g., Blue Danube) and words are
inspiring. It shows functional relationships of important
aspects of the body: the clear light-carrying fascia and the
mineral-rich/mobile blood system.
[Viewing this, as a former massage practitioner, was a deeply
moving experience. I wish that all health care practitioners
could view it. I also think that any human being would
understand and appreciate their own body a lot better if they
watch this.]

Young Tissue Extract,or
Proto-Embryonic Stage Extract
Laminine: Cell stabilizing compound Young
Tissue Extract An important health science advancement, overlooked after the
medical doctor who discovered it died. See video below.
Purchasing Laminine: Laminine is
shared by a humanitarian company. People can
purchase it at wholesale by joining, without a "joining
fee." It actually is less expensive if you join and
purchase the one-month 3-box treatment package (for
around $99); then the monthly maintenance would be
around $36 with shipping. This is done through the
Natural Connections Healthcare information site.
Choose the "Join" option rather than the "Buy"-only
option. There is no requirement for monthly purchase in order to
continue your access to the wholesale price. If you
choose to share Laminine, you can help others
by getting your own website (no fee) so that they can
purchase and you can receive a small commission for
helping share the product. 1. Laminine network support, to
help you participate in "the global paradigm shift in
how people find optimal health": [link]
2. Personal support and guidelines: These are available
after you join. Note: I personally like to suck on
the capsules and dissolve the Laminine powder; it has a
taste that reminds me of the very potent food supplement
called "Seacure", which has been used to help people
with weak digestion and low energy.

Note: Laminin is not
the same as the young tissue extract now available
as Laminine.
Note: The
young tissue extract product known as Laminine
is not the same as the physiological structure
component known as Laminin. Please note that
many of the YouTube videos about the component, Laminin,
are not speaking about Laminine. The
presenters in those YouTube videos had not heard of the
newly-available Laminine. Those
presenters are not representing the scientific
understanding of Young Tissue Extract. Information site with purchase option .

model of the ANS being only a battleground between the
Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic branches of the
Autonomic Nervous System.
"Most of what you do, think and believe is
generated by parts of your brain to which you
have no access. Here's the expose about
the non-conscious brain and all the machinery
under the hood that keeps the show going." [From
the dust jacket:] "If the conscious
mind—the part you consider you—is just the tip
of the iceberg in the brain, what is all the
rest doing? Neuroscientist David Eagleman
plumbs the depths of the subconscious brain to
illuminate surprising questions: Why can your
foot jump halfway to the brake pedal before you
become consciously aware of danger ahead?
Why do strippers make more money at certain
times of month, even while no one is consciously
aware of their fertility level? Is there a
true Mel Gibson? What do Odysseus and the
subprime mortgage meltdown have in common? How
is your brain like a conflicted democracy
engaged in civil war?... The subsurface
exploration includes waystops in brain damage,
drugs, infidelity, synesthesia, criminal law,
the future of artificial intelligence, and
visual illusions—all highlighting how our
perception of the world is a hidden and
awe-inspiring construction of the brain."

and Anatomy, U. of Texas Houston Medical School.
