My brother, Wayne, suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia his entire adult life. When he told me about the remarkable reversal of symptoms after his Atlas Profilax session, I could hardly contain the excitement I felt for him. When Wayne was a teenager, he hit his head on the pavement after falling off the back of a moving truck. It luxated the Atlas in his neck causing him to suffer for 30+ years from so many health challenges that it disabled him. It wasn't until he had his atlas corrected that he made the link between what happened then and what he was challenged with from that point forward. The following is an overview of what he learned and how it helped him.

I. Narrative on Some of the Benefits Wayne Noticed
"I decided to go for a short walk after my treatment and experienced a rather extraordinary thing. I felt sort of like a "crooked dog" that most of us have seen—one that is trotting down the road or sidewalk in one direction, but sort of facing off in another direction. Well, I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. I checked my walking gate and felt I was walking very straight. I then realized I had gotten used to my gate being out of alignment for so long that it didn't feel normal for it to now be aligned. In fact, it was so disconcerting, I felt nauseous from it. By the next day, this feeling while walking dissipated.

I had a very interesting experience the next morning. While drying myself after showering, I usually stand on one foot while drying the other. Normally, standing on one foot turns out to be a pretty wobbly affair, but that morning I was immediately struck by how solid and stable my foot was on the ground. When switching to the other foot, I noticed the same thing. This started giving me an indication of some of the things to come.

Over the next few days, I continued to feel remarkable things in my body, almost every time I moved or did something. While walking, I noticed my posture feeling significantly different and improved. Alea, (my girlfriend) even commented on how I looked so different while I walked. I also noticed that my lower back seemed to support my body in a much more stable and foundational way.

I also noticed a significant relaxation and reduction in pain in literally every muscle group in my body. I have had to do extensive self-massage on myself for years to keep various pain syndromes at bay. My main pain problems (in order of severity) have been pain in my head, neck, eyes, ribs and lower back. This pain level, so far, seems to have improved from 50-75%.

Michael mentioned that when the Atlas is out, it will create pressure in the lower back. It will usually first manifest itself as pain, and then progress to bulging or herniated disks. He further mentioned that when the Atlas is aligned, it "relaxes the core muscles of the spine." When I heard this description, I thought of many people who have been in chronic pain from bulging and/or herniated disks, including my sister, Marian....It has now been two+ months since my Atlas has corrected itself. I can confidently say that things are getting better and better everyday. "

II. Brief Description of Atlas Profilax

At the very top of the spine is the first cervical vertebra called the Atlas. The Atlas carries the head and is responsible for the proper alignment of the entire spinal cord and skeletal system.

CAUSES OF ATLAS DISLOCATION
Between 1993 and 1996 Rene-Claudius Schuemperli of Switzerland discovered the Atlas is dislocated in most humans through natural birth, cesarean or injury. When a baby is born the two pins that hold the Atlas in its proper place are not fully formed. In Eastern European countries midwives are trained to ensure the Atlas of newborns is properly aligned so when the pins grow and harden they do so to hold the Atlas in its proper position. In the West, the Atlas becomes dislocated through the use of forceps at birth or hanging the baby upside down right after birth. Placing the baby on its stomach during the first months after birth when the pins are growing and hardening strains its neck. Simple accidents such as falling from a bike and hitting your head on a door jam or bedside table, sustaining a head, neck or shoulder injury when playing contact sports or experiencing whiplash from a car accident can result in the Atlas becoming misplaced. Increasingly more evidence is proving that these misalignments are a major contributing factor in many diseases and conditions. In fact, the atlas should be the first thing that is checked BEFORE any other medical intervention is carried out. Yet, it is never investigated, since doctors dismiss this as being a problem. It is becoming clearer that nothing could be further from the truth.

SYMPTOMS OF MISALIGNMENT
When the Atlas is out of alignment the body can suffer from headaches, neck pain, stiff neck, back pain, herniated disks, scoliosis, jammed spinal nerves, pain in the hips, knees and joints, differences in leg length and continuous pressure on the spinal cord, memory loss, confusion, lack of coordination, dizziness, eye problems, including lazy eye syndrome, lymphatic flow problems, weakness, extreme tiredness, lack of oxygen, chronic muscle aches and pains, etc. Improper alignment of the Atlas also contributes to the inability to relax and fear around the neck and spine.

III. Summation
When you have your Atlas Profilax session, it is possible that some of your more pronounced symptoms of imbalance may be exacerbated for a time immediately following your session. It would be best to avoid driving long distances and avoid dealing with other kinds of unusual stress afterwards, as your body is going through a major readjustment period.

MY FOLLOW-UP WITH WAYNE

Q. How long ago has it been since you had the session and are you still feeling as enthusiastic?

*** I had it done on July 9th and had a follow-up visit on August 24th, which confirmed my Atlas was still firmly in place and aligned. I am as enthusiastic about it now (Dec.) as I was back in July, if not more so, since I've talked to people since then who have also had amazing results. I feel it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

Q. Did some of your other issues get resolved as a result?

*** Yes -- Major problems with sensory overload, cognitive function, vertigo, "locked up" feeling in neck and head, and more have all improved for me.

*** My ability to do things has also improved. Still too early to tell to what degree and how permanent it may be.

*** I'm actually pretty passionate about what I feel Atlas Profilax can do for many people. I try not to go overboard with my descriptions, as I would prefer people get good information rather than hype to see if it strikes a chord for them. Either the info will generate enthusiasm or it won't.
