MEN OF ACTION
These are men whose lives, clinical applications and academic contributions, made a powerful impact on today's perspective of Holistic Health Care and Biodynamic Cranioscacral Therapy
William Garner Sutherland, DO (1873-1954)
“I consider the fluctuation of the cerebrospinal fluid to be the fundamental principle in the cranial concept. The “sap in the tree” is something that contains the Breath of Life, not the breath of air– something invisible…
There is a deeper layer of activity that has barely been touched upon. This deeper layer has to do with the energies that integrate the animated, living, homeostatic body. The day will come when they too will be catalogued and their laws understood.”
Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND (1890-1981)
“Energy is the real substance behind the appearance of matter and forms.”
Rollin Becker, DO (1910-1996)
“The bioenergy field of health is a palpable sensation to the examining hands of a physician… It is a rhythmic feeling of interchange between the patient’s body and his biosphere in which there is a total interchange without any areas of restriction, impaction, trauma, or stress. It is a feeling of total internal and external environmental capacity to express wellness. It is the end point of a physician’s treatment program…
It is the clinical experience of utilizing this stillness, this total energy, this total body, this total force, in the concept of the treatment program… You experience the stillness with its motivating energy, centering the total body… When I sense this interchange taking place through my hands as a palpable mechanism and through my mind as an awareness of the stillness interchanging with body physiology, then the treatment is complete.”
“My patients are happy, and my colleagues think I’m nuts.”

“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”
“...the cerebrospinal fluid is one of the highest known elements that are contained in the body, and unless the brain furnishes this fluid in abundance, a disabled condition of the body will remain.”
“He who is able to reason will see that this great river of life (the cerebrospinal fluid) must be tapped and the withering field irrigated at once, or the harvest of health be forever lost.”

“The universities do not teach all things, so a doctor must seek out old wives, gypsies, sorcerers, wandering tribes, old robbers, and such outlaws, and take lessons from them. A doctor must be a traveler. Knowledge is experience.”
