Repercussion on the
surface of a deep fit
By surface we mean in a
segmentary way the rachis, the skin, the muscles, and by deep
we mean the internal organs under control of the myélomère.
The different transverse sections of the thorax of
Lazorthes (Guy Lazorthes: "the peripheral nervous system."
Masson 1981; pp 249,241; fig 212, 213, 214) are just right to point out the
innervation of the mobile segment of Junghanns and the importance of the role played by
the posterior and former branches of the rachidian nerve as well as the sinu-vertebral
nerve. But the author speaks about the concept of pains of visceral origin projected to
the skin, and of the parietal reflex contraction: "the attack of an internal organ
can result into a 'reported pain' which is projected into the parietal cutaneous territory
called dermatome, which corresponds to the medullary segment or myélomère the sensitive
tracts of the internal organ end up" (Id Guy Lazorthes; p 317).(Id
Guy Lazorthes; p 317)
The most famous illustration is the point of Mac Burney
which meets with a neurological precision with the 1/3 inferior and the 2/3 superiors on
the way of a line linking the antero higher right-hand side iliac spine to the umbilical
point, and whatever the localisation of the irritated appendix.
Deep repercussion
of an attack of surface
If projection to the skin and the muscles of a
visceral attack are familiar sights, we still have to know what the authors think of the
opposite phenomenon, the repercussion on an internal organ of a reflex-dermalgia of
Jarricot and or one contraction: "an action on a zone of cutaneous projection can
relieve the pain of a deep organ "(Id Guy Lazorthes; p 317)
..." The irritation or the compression of the elements of the hole of conjugation by
different disturbances of the intervertebral joint is responsible for many painful
disorders, of rachidian origin." (Robert Maigne: "Pains of
vertebral origin and processing by handling" French Scientific Expansion, 1977).
Test of synthesis
We foresee the eminent role of the sympathetic nerve system
and more particularly of the ganglion laterovertebral: since it allows the peripheral
projection of an autonomous impulse, but it remains subjected to the former hypothalamic
action.
This is of primary neurological interest. Thanks to him, we
can now succinctly define the three neurological entities:
-
The myotome, governed by the somatic motoneurone
-
The viscerotome governed by the autonomous
motoneurone
-
The dermatome, governed by the juxtaposition of
the exteroceptive protoneurone and the peripheral deutoneurone.
All three depend on the same medullar segment or myelomere.
To avoid confusion, this is the explanation of the reflexotherapie, which is the translation of the old Chinese
acupuncture on the basis of our Western assets of embryo-anatomo-immuno-neurophysiology.
Role of the autonomous system
on the breathing apparatus
The sympathetic system being in
first line, lets us revise its function specific to the level of the three thoracic first
metameres. Once more Lazorthes enlightens us:
-
according to the majority of the authors (Brodie, Braeucker, Danielopolu) the parasympathetic fibres come from pneumogastric are
bronchoconstrictrices; the fibres sympathetic nerves come from 2nd and 3rd dorsal
medullary segment and which cross the spangled ganglion and the thoracic ganglia are
bronchodilatatrices. (id
Guy Lazorthes ; p355)
Our neurophysiological explanation:
Sympathetic and parasympathetic balance is broken because of a segmentary irritation of
the sympathetic chain, the factors of risk of a bronchoconstriction with increase in
secretions are in the foreground, and the asthma attack is close.
Note: by experience, the
fibres resulting from the 2nd thoracic stage would especially have a bronchodilatarice
function and the fibres resulting from the 3rd stage, a secreting function. The constant
association of a subluxation chondrocostale of the second coast and one asthma to the
effort, as well as the constant association of a subluxation of the 3rd coast and of
bronchitis asthmatiforme, gives strength to my assertion.
The parasympathetic system
can also be irritated by various causes which we will consider: arc reflex enters the
auricular nerve and X nerve, between the glossopharyngien and the X nerve, information
phantom by Occipital/Atlas compression.
Confirmations
A rhythmic
pressure exerted on the painful point of the subluxation chondrocostale (posteriorized,
practically always on the right) of 2nd or 3rd rib, during major inspirations, almost
instantaneously provokes an asthma attack on a subject carrying this pathology. On the
other hand, massage of the painful point under the armpit usually stops the crisis
immediately (see detailed explanation below).
Stop of the asthma attack
A slow and
intense massage, exerted on the perforating side intercostal branch, on the side opposed
to the point of release, during major inspirations makes it possible to obtain
quasi-immediate sedation of the attack of asthma (from a few seconds to one minute). This
point is located on the axiliary line, just at the beginning of the armpit (90% on the
left, 10% on the right or bilateral), as it is painful it causes a reflex of
"faces" and avoidance as soon as it is detected using the index.
Apart from
any crisis, there remains practically always a "residual respiratory
embarrassment": the massage of the point (sometimes of both if there is both a
subluxation chondrocostale of 2nd and 3rd rib) releases the thoracic ampliation in some
deep inspirations.
Its
effectiveness is astonishing
Note: each
time I have an asthmatic on the telephone, to provide him/her with proof of the exactitude
of my work, I have him/her search for its point "under the left armpit" and ask
him/her to massage it while inspiring deeply. With each inspiration, the ampliation
increases and the "noises" of respiratory difficulties decrease as much. No need
to describe the reactions and comments of the person on the phone!
Discussion
The
neurophysiological study necessary to show the basic mechanism which connects the postural
attitude, the articular restrictions of mobility which result from this, their effect on
the nervous mechanisms of the peripheral and central system, as well as the reaction of
these systems on the immune system, required ten years of research.
Since 1985
I had suspected, and so
indicated
in my written work, that all the systems were certainly closely overlapping: that the
immune system depended on the central system and that its reactions were modulated and
controlled according to the peripheral system's information (see publications).
In 1987, an
American researcher, Marc E Gurney,
highlighted a blood neuropeptide named "neuroleukine" (Marc E Gurney. Science, 1986; pp
234, 556). This neuropeptide emitted by the
system sympathetic nerve, in certain circumstances, caused the survival of immature
driving neurons of the spinal cord and of sensitive neurons of the spinal ganglia, as well
as the differentiation of the lymphocytes B in producing cells of antibody (Marc E Gurney: " The
neuroleukine, nervous and immunising messenger." Search, 1987; 186: 386, 387, 388).
In 1995,
the work of Goodkin on the psychoneuroimmunology shows that:
-
the neurogene command of the immune system travels through two great tracts: the
sympathetic efference nerves and the neuro-endocrinien hypothalamo-hypophysaire axis
-
a central or peripheral paralysis, deteriorates the traditional topographic
symmetry of the polyarthritis rhumatoïde by "protecting" the overdrawn member
from the development of new articular lesions
(R. Ader and coll:
"Psychoneuroimmunology: interactions betwen the nervous system and the immune system
". Lancet, 1995; 345; 99-103. Abstract neuro and psychiatrist, 1995; 129: 15-16)
