Jazmin's Two Dr. Bobs

Jazmin Lane Marmorstein:
Granddaughter Extraordinaire
and Bio Cranial Patient







You saw it here first! I was asked to write another article for the Vitality Journal, the official publication of the Bio Cranial movement, for its February 2009 issue. I got permission to publish it here first. I wanted to share it with you to give you more of an insider's view of Bio Cranial, what it can do, and how new doctors have gotten exposed to it. One of the "Dr. Bob's" I talk about, Dr. Robert Mao, is an excellent pediatrician. His office number is (281) 265-8800. Enjoy the article!

One June weekend in 2005, I spent a lot of time discussing Jazmin's first Dr. Bob and his discoveries with an eager group of doctors in Minneapolis. My friends, Drs. Doug and Maureen Hays were with me. We traveled a lot together in those days, introducing Dr. Robert Boyd's Bio Cranial System to chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists and the very occasional M.D. The majority of these health care practitoners were fairly seasoned. They knew both the power and the limitations of their own disciplines, and still had enough of the "beginner's mind" left in them to seek something that would take them into the realm of the therapeutically miraculous.

As Doug and I explained the philosophy and science behind Bio Cranial, we could see the lights turning back on in these docs. You could almost hear them thinking, "What if this is really true? What would it mean for me to bring this back to my own practice? Can it make my own middle-aged body feel any better? I wonder..."

Then the table work would begin. After warning these twelve doctors that they should observe us in action, but not try to imitate us before they had received formal training, we would work on them. They could see--and feel--the immediate post-treatment improvements. Many made life-changing and career-changing decisions quickly after their first experience of dural release and the sense of freedom it brings. I thought back to my own training with Dr. Boyd, when he described the almost sacred, "Ahh..." moment when the head and body let go of a lifetime of stuckness. We teachers also felt great satisfaction knowing we had shared something so profound and necessary with our class.

After a relaxing evening with Doug and Maureen, we stayed up for a while as we usually did. We spent time working on each other and trying to refine our understanding and application of Bio Cranial.

I had to catch an early flight back to Houston in the morning. Before I left for the airport, I got a phone call telling me I should go straight to the hospital once I landed. My granddaughter had just been born.

Jazmin was beautiful. She had a little bit of digestive distress. Within just a few hours of her birth, she met her first Dr. Bob through me. I applied the pediatric Bio Cranial procedure to her, and immediately, her colic cleared up. She also became very alert and focused and was able to hold her own head up with her neck muscles. This was highly unusual for a newborn. She could even turn herself over in bed before she left the hospital!

When Jazmin was just over a year old, one of my patients who is a gifted personal trainer referred one of her clients to me. Dr. Robert Mao became Jazmin's second Dr. Bob, and is now a close family friend. Dr. Mao is a wonderful pediatrician practicing in Sugar Land, Texas. His patients and their parents think the world of him. Very athletic, he could feel how the Bio Cranial work helped him with the kinds of musculoskeletal issues that develop when a person trains for marathons and triathlons.

As we had more opportunities to talk with each other, he also understood that there were times I could help some of his young patients. He has sent me pediatric patients with tics, dizziness and obscure digestive disorders. This was our experience: Dr. Bob could help most of his patients, including Jazmin, with the usual things that come up in childhood. There were times, however, when lab work and medical testing did not lead to a clear diagnosis--especially when the patient had strange stomach and intestinal symptoms. Bio Cranial work has proven to be very helpful in these cases.

Often the parents of these kids would start to see me for chronic headaches, sciatica and fibromyalgia. Workout buddies might see me for Achilles tendinitis or shoulder pain.

Nowadays, it is common for me to see several medical physicians as patients during the course of a normal week. Most also refer patients, including children, to my practice. Dr. Boyd observed that young patients tend to respond very quickly and positively to Bio Cranial work. Our own granddaughter, Jazmin, is thriving. At 3 1/2 years of age, she loves to go to her Montessori school and enjoys her tap and ballet classes. Her energy level is consistently high, and Dr. Mao is very impressed with her physical development, heartiness, vocabulary level and other markers.

In today's world, one of the biggest health issues facing children and adults (including doctors) is stress. Even a single Bio Cranial correction moves the patient into a more relaxed nervous system mode. In our doctors' jargon, we call this, "shifting in to a more parasympathetic state." Breathing and digestion improve, and a smile crosses the face. Dr. Boyd really had it right when he recognized the truth of his own mentor's observation that the biggest cause of dis-ease is "overcontraction" of the cranio-sacral system. His gift to the rest of us is that he figured out what to do about it.

An Unusual Testimonial

Dr. Marmorstein's patient Jeri Weller has gotten help with incontinence, balance and energy.
I am a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with an unknown neurological health problem similar to MS (I think it's from many years of drinking diet soda with aspartame, i.e., aspartame poisoning.) I have weakness on the left side of my body and now can walk only with a cane. Many people ask me if I have had a stroke, which I have not had. A related problem to this is incontinence.

My sister went to see Dr. Stuart and after her first visit wanted me to see him, as well. I have recently finished my 10th visit to him and I have seen a remarkable difference in my energy level, balance and incontinence problem. Dr. Stuart has made a great difference in how I feel as compared with how I was feeling before I started going for treatment. Also prior to my first visit, I was exhausted all the time. Now I can go all day with no nap, which has not been a way of life for me in 3 years. Also, walking with a cane throws the spine out and Dr. Stuart has me standing straighter than I have been in a very long time. I feel much taller now.

Sincerely,

Jeri Weller
Houston, Texas

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Jeri for graciously sharing her personal story. You can see many others at http://www.drstuart.net/testim.htm, and elsewhere on my website. Wouldn't you like to spare someone all of the misery you've gone through by simply telling the truth?

If you are camera-shy, we can just print your story. If you just want to tell me what got better for you, I'll be glad to help you rustle up some words. These true accounts may inspire someone who really needs help to seek and find it!

During this inaugural season remember,

Ask not what your body can do for you--ask what you can do for your body.
