Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: 0:00:26.560,0:00:34.400 A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap  transforms one’s life into a personal heaven. 0:00:34.400,0:00:39.040 Today’s episode will tell you about  how lifestyle diseases and immune 0:00:39.040,0:00:43.520 system dysfunction take a toll on human health. 0:00:43.520,0:00:50.080 Summoning energy and healing lifestyle diseases  are the two outcomes Skeletal Leap strives to 0:00:50.080,0:00:56.880 achieve while filling the leftover holes in the  bipedal evolution of Homo sapiens along the way. 0:00:57.600,0:01:03.680 Let’s learn a bit more about the etiology  and prognosis of various lifestyle diseases. 0:01:03.680,0:01:12.000 Knowing their ins and outs will equip us to  eradicate them through Skeletal Leap more easily. 0:01:12.000,0:01:20.160 Evolution of Human Disease As life evolved, so did disease. 0:01:20.160,0:01:27.040 Life took shape via DNA replication as well as the  process of adaptation. It is against this ancient 0:01:27.040,0:01:34.000 code that its young genetic variants interact  with modern environments. This interaction ends 0:01:34.000,0:01:40.720 up generating human disease phenotypes. Latest developments in genomic research 0:01:40.720,0:01:46.000 and technology have made it possible to  sequence genomes of any species from the 0:01:46.000,0:01:54.240 tree of life. Disease came into existence as  soon as unicellular life came into existence. 0:01:55.280,0:02:00.560 These unicellular organisms divided  themselves symmetrically and, therefore, 0:02:00.560,0:02:09.360 never died. As asymmetric cell division evolved,  it resulted in multicellular organisms. These 0:02:09.360,0:02:16.400 new organisms experienced reduced cellular  damage. However they paid a huge price for 0:02:16.400,0:02:24.880 it in the form of aging and, eventually, death. Multicellularity further evolved many more times 0:02:24.880,0:02:32.720 enabling complex body structures with intricate  communications between them. But each step in this 0:02:32.720,0:02:41.440 evolutionary saga was accompanied by newer disease  patterns. That was how cancer, for example, came 0:02:41.440,0:02:50.240 to existence. It was a direct result of increased  DNA repairs and mutations in the caretaker genes. 0:02:51.520,0:02:58.960 Later, gatekeeper genes appeared to regulate cell  growth, communication and death, thus generating 0:02:58.960,0:03:07.200 immune systems for the organism. Further evolution  of immune systems generated new diseases just 0:03:07.200,0:03:14.480 like multicellularity had done. Like when the  human immune system co-evolved with parasites, 0:03:14.480,0:03:19.360 the parasite infection generated  another immune response in humans. 0:03:20.560,0:03:28.000 New anatomical structures like eyes, limbs,  pregnancy, et cetera evolved through adaptation 0:03:28.000,0:03:35.600 and integration of already existing genes  with regulatory circuits. The resulting genes 0:03:35.600,0:03:42.800 simultaneously affect many different traits  and shape substrates on which new diseases 0:03:42.800,0:03:49.280 appear as trade offs for evolution. Diseases have their own evolutionary 0:03:49.280,0:03:56.400 histories. These histories get archived in  our genomes. Genomic advances have enabled 0:03:56.400,0:04:03.920 us to read those histories in great details. Anatomically modern humans (AMHs) first came 0:04:03.920,0:04:12.400 to exist in Africa around 200,000 years ago.  Around 100,000 years ago, they started moving 0:04:12.400,0:04:23.040 out of Africa and quickly spread across Eurasia.  From there, groups of these early AMHs expanded 0:04:23.040,0:04:31.920 into Americas around 35,000 to 15,000 years ago. Once they migrated, they came into contact with 0:04:31.920,0:04:39.600 other archaic hominin groups like Neanderthals and  Denisovans. They got admixed with them carrying 0:04:39.600,0:04:47.120 around 2% of their ancestry from Neanderthals  which they still do. However, even in the modern 0:04:47.120,0:04:54.880 African population, traces of admixture with  other unknown archaic hominins have been found. 0:04:54.880,0:05:00.400 Exponential Evolutionary Growth  within The Past 10,000 Years 0:05:00.400,0:05:06.800 After their expansion throughout the globe, humans  went through an exponential growth within the past 0:05:06.800,0:05:15.920 10,000 years. Population explosion modified  their genetic architecture of traits. This, 0:05:15.920,0:05:21.440 in turn, increased their chances of  genetic selection for different variants. 0:05:22.160,0:05:27.440 That is how we find considerable differences  in allele frequency among different 0:05:27.440,0:05:34.800 populations with different disease risks. Alleles denote the variants of a certain gene; 0:05:34.800,0:05:42.560 like ABO blood group is controlled by ABO  gene with six variants. Allele frequency is 0:05:42.560,0:05:50.640 the relative frequency of an allele at a specific  locus in a population expressed as a percentage. 0:05:50.640,0:05:57.680 Evolution has never been a perfect jump or  adaptation from one stage to another. Also, 0:05:57.680,0:06:03.840 genetic changes have never been able to  ensure the best evolutionary progress. 0:06:03.840,0:06:12.640 Genes have existed as varied yet co-existing  alleles at the same location on a chromosome. 0:06:12.640,0:06:19.360 Exposures of different human groups to  different new environments forced them to adapt. 0:06:19.360,0:06:26.960 But these rapid changes and adaptations also  generated complex patterns of new diseases. 0:06:26.960,0:06:34.560 Hence diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart  disease and other hormonal dysfunctions came 0:06:34.560,0:06:40.800 to existence as lifestyle diseases  as a result of sedentary lifestyles. 0:06:40.800,0:06:47.520 Ancestral alleles adapted for ancient environments  increased the risk of disease in modern 0:06:47.520,0:06:57.360 environments. That is how both ancient and newly  derived alleles increase the risk of disease. 0:06:57.360,0:07:04.480 And that is why ancestral risk alleles are more  prevalent in African populations whereas newly 0:07:04.480,0:07:12.000 derived alleles risk Eurasian populations more. What makes us vulnerable to a specific disease 0:07:12.000,0:07:17.520 today is a recent genetic variation  in our ancient gene systems. 0:07:18.640,0:07:25.600 Every single person may have unique genomes  depending on their genetic histories. These 0:07:25.600,0:07:32.400 genetic histories change with their geographical  journeys through evolution and adaptations to 0:07:32.400,0:07:40.080 different environments. Latest genomic advances  have enabled us to unearth every single 0:07:40.080,0:07:47.360 individual’s historical tendencies to various  illnesses in greater detail. It enables us to 0:07:47.360,0:07:54.800 treat their illnesses in the most individualized  manner, thereby making it the most effective. 0:07:54.800,0:08:02.560 Environmental Changes Vs Genetic Disposition But the most recent environmental changes and 0:08:02.560,0:08:07.920 socio-psychological factors are much  bigger causes of disease than genetic 0:08:07.920,0:08:15.040 disposition. How do we deal with them? Ancestral susceptibility model proposes 0:08:15.040,0:08:24.000 that the ancestral alleles were adapted as per the  ancient environments. However, these alleles were 0:08:24.000,0:08:32.640 not flexible enough to cope with environments that  changed rapidly over the past 10,000 years. They 0:08:32.640,0:08:40.880 can then generate risks of evolutionary mismatch  in those changed environments leading to disease. 0:08:40.880,0:08:48.960 Here arises a very important question that needs  to be answered in a very clear way. Forming of 0:08:48.960,0:08:57.360 alleles is understandable as natural selection  is always a trial and error process. But what 0:08:57.360,0:09:05.280 makes this process so rigid as to be inept  at coping with rapidly changing environments? 0:09:05.280,0:09:10.640 Here is a quote from an article  from New York University. It says… 0:09:10.640,0:09:18.480 A new analysis concludes that the ability of  early humans to adjust to changing conditions 0:09:18.480,0:09:27.360 ultimately enabled the earliest species of Homo  to vary, survive, and begin spreading from Africa 0:09:27.360,0:09:34.640 to Eurasia, marking a reconsideration of the  evolutionary factors that drove these changes. 0:09:35.840,0:09:42.160 If it is so, why aren’t we able to live  a healthy life anywhere on Earth today? 0:09:42.160,0:09:48.080 Let’s look into various diseases separately  to try answering this more general question 0:09:48.080,0:09:54.800 regarding health and disease. Alzheimer’s disease: 0:09:54.800,0:10:01.520 Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative  disease, i.e., a disease of brain cells leading 0:10:01.520,0:10:10.320 to gradual memory loss. It first starts with  forgetting the most recent events. Later it moves 0:10:10.320,0:10:19.760 on to affect language, orientation, emotions,  motivation and behavior. In the advanced stages, 0:10:19.760,0:10:27.520 even involuntary memory begins to wane. That  is when the patient starts moving toward death. 0:10:27.520,0:10:35.840 It takes a few (3-9) years, from  its onset to eventual demise. 0:10:35.840,0:10:42.160 Genetic factors and environment, both play their  role in the progression of this disease, like any 0:10:42.160,0:10:49.920 other. The strongest of the genetic factors is  an allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) metabolizing 0:10:49.920,0:10:58.400 fats in the body. Clinical depression and  hypertension are also the possible risk factors. 0:10:58.400,0:11:05.840 Only 1 - 2% of the cases are inherited. Most  cases are sporadic with late-onset Alzheimer’s 0:11:05.840,0:11:12.480 disease (LOAD) afflicting after the age of 65. I come from a family that had three of its 0:11:12.480,0:11:17.200 members succumbing to Alzheimer’s disease.  But then, there were others in the family 0:11:17.200,0:11:23.600 who never contracted it. I hope I am one  among those who never do, especially when 0:11:23.600,0:11:30.720 I have my central fixation intact! An open  crown chakra tends to keep Alzheimer’s away. 0:11:30.720,0:11:37.120 Why do I say so? It is an insight that I got  from opening my crown chakra, thus curing my 0:11:37.120,0:11:44.400 lifelong myopia. Though when it happened, I  never knew what my body had done to cure me. 0:11:45.040,0:11:50.320 It is my contention that body intelligence is  way bigger than the intelligence of our conscious 0:11:50.320,0:11:58.960 mind. It does its healing silently. And body  intelligence works the best when its anatomy is 0:11:58.960,0:12:07.280 not compromised, paving the way to its physiology  working impeccably. And to a certain extent, 0:12:07.280,0:12:13.520 this intelligence works most efficiently in  the vicinity of its actual physical location. 0:12:14.400,0:12:20.400 Hence, almost all the irregularities taking  place in the skull region are most affected 0:12:20.400,0:12:27.200 by the skull anatomy getting compromised. This forms the foundation on which Skeletal 0:12:27.200,0:12:34.000 Leap’s case for healing lifestyle diseases  is built. This would then coincide with the 0:12:34.000,0:12:40.160 healthiest phase of bipedal evolution,  devoid of all those leftover holes. 0:12:40.800,0:12:47.600 This was what had cured my myopia in the first  place when my skull entered its healthiest phase 0:12:47.600,0:12:54.640 as part of my own personal bipedal evolution. A healthy anatomy lies at the root of a healthy 0:12:54.640,0:13:01.600 physiology. And when the skeletal meditations  facilitated by Skeletal Leap open the related 0:13:01.600,0:13:07.040 chakra, it is the anatomy of that local  area which turns healthier. It turns 0:13:07.040,0:13:12.880 their related physiology healthier too. The best part is that the body does all 0:13:12.880,0:13:16.960 this healing on its own regardless of  whether we are able to rationalize it 0:13:16.960,0:13:23.920 through logical analysis or not. This silent  healing process of the body is very potent. 0:13:23.920,0:13:30.880 And this is the healing philosophy that Skeletal  Leap bases all its skeletal meditations on. 0:13:30.880,0:13:36.240 They tend to heal the anatomy of the  body which, in turn, tends to heal the 0:13:36.240,0:13:43.840 associated diseases based on its own superior  intelligence. This superior intelligence works 0:13:43.840,0:13:51.680 way better and way faster than any analytical  procedures invented by medical science to date. 0:13:51.680,0:13:54.960 Arthritis: Arthritis means 0:13:54.960,0:14:02.000 disorders affecting joints, turning them stiff  and painful while limiting their movement. 0:14:02.000,0:14:10.000 Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease  that affects fingers, knees and hips. Rheumatoid 0:14:10.000,0:14:18.800 arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects  hands and feet. Other joint conditions like gout, 0:14:18.800,0:14:26.640 lupus, fibromyalgia and septic arthritis are  all different types of rheumatic diseases. 0:14:27.440,0:14:33.840 Arthritis, in general, can be any among the  following types characterized by joints alone: 0:14:33.840,0:14:42.080 Osteoarthritis | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Gout  and Pseudo-gout | Septic Arthritis | Ankylosing 0:14:42.080,0:14:52.160 Spondylitis | Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis  | Still’s Disease | Psoriatic Arthritis 0:14:52.160,0:14:57.760 Joint pains can also exist as a secondary  symptom of some other main disease, like: 0:14:57.760,0:15:07.520 Psoriasis | Reactive Arthritis | Ehlers-Danlos  Syndrome | Iron Overload | Hepatitis | Lyme 0:15:07.520,0:15:16.000 Disease | Sjogren’s Disease | Hashimoto’s  Thyroiditis | Celiac Disease | Non-celiac 0:15:16.000,0:15:21.680 Gluten Sensitivity | Inflammatory  Bowel Disease | Henoch-Schonlein 0:15:21.680,0:15:31.200 Purpura | Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with  Recurrent Fever | Sarcoidosis | Whipple’s Disease 0:15:31.200,0:15:39.600 The Story of My Encounter with Arthritis In 2019, while I was in a traumatized state 0:15:39.600,0:15:46.640 due to long-suppressed anger, I fell prey to  viral arthritis. The virus was there in the 0:15:46.640,0:15:54.800 air in my city that year. It caught my wrists,  hands and fingers with an acute pain in their 0:15:54.800,0:16:02.960 joints. All my neighbors caught the virus too. As I generally do in response to any infection, 0:16:02.960,0:16:10.640 I didn’t consult any physician but decided to  wait and watch. Five months passed without any 0:16:10.640,0:16:16.800 improvement in the situation. Ultimately  I consulted a specialist who gave me a 0:16:16.800,0:16:23.840 strong course of medication for one week.  He assured me I would be okay within a week. 0:16:23.840,0:16:32.000 A week later, I was not only back at his clinic  but my condition was worse too. I saw clear signs 0:16:32.000,0:16:39.040 of panic on my physician’s face. He had already  done the best he could have. He took a stance 0:16:39.040,0:16:46.720 that mine was not a case of viral arthritis as  such. He said it was most probably the onset of 0:16:46.720,0:16:54.480 rheumatoid arthritis. Hence he referred me to the  most popular rheumatoid specialist in the city. 0:16:55.120,0:17:00.720 This scared me because rheumatoid  arthritis, unlike viral arthritis, 0:17:00.720,0:17:07.280 was an autoimmune disease. And I was aware that  medical science hadn’t yet been able to invent 0:17:07.280,0:17:16.080 a total cure for any autoimmune irregularity. The new doctor tested my blood to assess if it 0:17:16.080,0:17:23.840 was, indeed, the onset of rheumatoid arthritis.  When he came to the conclusion that it was most 0:17:23.840,0:17:33.040 probably so, he started me on a course of what I  call “medicinal management”. It meant that I was 0:17:33.040,0:17:41.600 doomed to live with this condition for the rest  of my life, managing the disease perennially. 0:17:41.600,0:17:47.040 I told him I wasn’t interested in disease  management alone. What I was interested 0:17:47.040,0:17:54.160 in was a complete cure. I asked him  if it was possible or not. If it was, 0:17:54.160,0:17:59.520 I would prefer living a free life without  any precautionary conditions attached to 0:17:59.520,0:18:05.760 it. If it wasn’t, I would rather say  bye to the world. He could not say yes 0:18:05.760,0:18:12.000 but tried his best to change my mind and  gave me a month-long course of medication. 0:18:12.640,0:18:19.600 I told him I had done my own personal research on  central fixation and its connection to lifestyle 0:18:19.600,0:18:26.320 diseases. I added that, while giving his  medication a shot, I would start my central 0:18:26.320,0:18:32.160 fixation procedure simultaneously. If, at the  end of the month, I was able to live without 0:18:32.160,0:18:40.080 his next monthly dose, I’d continue living. In the end, to make things lighter, I said, 0:18:40.080,0:18:47.120 “If I do, I will invite rheumatoid patients the  world over to come to me for a permanent cure!” 0:18:47.120,0:18:52.800 He was ready, smiling with his  funnily crisp reply, “Hey! I need 0:18:52.800,0:18:59.440 to put food on the table for my family too!” I immediately started focusing on central 0:18:59.440,0:19:05.200 fixation of my body; something  I had ignored due to my trauma. 0:19:05.200,0:19:11.280 The chakras that helped me the most in healing  my condition through dissolving (or opening) 0:19:11.280,0:19:19.600 themselves were solar plexus chakra, throat  chakra and crown chakra. I can understand if, 0:19:19.600,0:19:25.200 now, you are wondering to yourself, “If  existence of chakras is the problem, 0:19:25.200,0:19:32.640 how can they ‘help’?” Let me explain. Solar  plexus chakra opened up to keep my thoracic 0:19:32.640,0:19:39.200 diaphragm relaxed making my exhalations longer  than my inhalations while breathing. Opening 0:19:39.200,0:19:46.080 the throat chakra brought my arms and hands back  to their natural posture for good. And an open 0:19:46.080,0:19:56.080 crown chakra took care of my autoimmune tendency. I lived! Not only lived, I thrived. And I have 0:19:56.080,0:20:02.880 never needed arthritis medication since. Atherosclerosis: 0:20:02.880,0:20:09.040 Atherosclerosis narrows the walls of the  arteries due to atheromatous plaque buildup 0:20:09.040,0:20:16.960 causing lesions in the artery walls. The narrowing  of arteries reduces the flow of oxygenated blood 0:20:16.960,0:20:24.320 to the associated body parts. With the passage  of time, it may lead to coronary artery disease, 0:20:24.320,0:20:30.880 stroke, peripheral artery disease  or complications in the kidney. 0:20:30.880,0:20:35.760 The process of atheromatous plaque  buildup is not well understood. It 0:20:35.760,0:20:42.160 retains low density lipoprotein in the walls  of these arteries. Whether this retention 0:20:42.160,0:20:48.240 is the cause or an effect of the entire  inflammatory process remains a mystery. 0:20:48.880,0:20:54.960 The plaque deposited in the muscle cells of the  artery walls makes them stretch to accommodate 0:20:54.960,0:21:03.120 its bulk. This makes the artery wall stiff and  unable to stretch further with every heartbeat. 0:21:03.120,0:21:09.840 The condition ends up in hypertension and heart  condition in the due course of time. As of now, 0:21:09.840,0:21:16.560 its medical prognoses are largely guesswork. I propose that opening the solar plexus 0:21:16.560,0:21:23.440 and heart chakras tends to both,  prevent and cure atherosclerosis. 0:21:23.440,0:21:30.240 As I have pointed earlier, Skeletal Leap with  the help of its skeletal meditations can heal 0:21:30.240,0:21:38.000 the body anatomy in the region of the lungs and  heart, especially in the main arteries nearby. 0:21:38.000,0:21:43.280 This healed anatomy automatically heals the  compromised physiology of the associated 0:21:43.280,0:21:51.360 organs through innate body intelligence. This is what Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, 0:21:51.360,0:21:59.440 meant when he said, “Disease [is] not an entity,  but a fluctuating condition of the patient’s body, 0:21:59.440,0:22:06.480 a battle between the substance of disease and  the natural self-healing tendency of the body.” 0:22:06.480,0:22:11.840 Asthma: Asthma inflames the air passages to and from the 0:22:11.840,0:22:19.280 lungs resulting in obstruction of the breathing  process. It causes wheezing, coughing, a tightened 0:22:19.280,0:22:27.600 chest and a very short breathing pattern. Episodes  of asthmatic fits can occur at a frequency ranging 0:22:27.600,0:22:34.080 from a few times a day to a few times a week. Asthma is considered to be a psychosomatic 0:22:34.080,0:22:40.880 disease, caused by a combination of genetic  and environmental factors. The disease doesn’t 0:22:40.880,0:22:47.200 have any permanent cure but is manageable  with the use of inhalers comprising beta-2 0:22:47.200,0:22:55.360 agonists like salbutamol and corticosteroids. It is a widespread disease throughout the 0:22:55.360,0:23:05.360 world affecting 262 million people that  killed 461,000 of them in 2019 alone. 0:23:05.360,0:23:10.480 It is my contention that the chakra attached  to this psychosomatic disease is the solar 0:23:10.480,0:23:16.240 plexus chakra which tends to  set asthma right when opened. 0:23:17.040,0:23:24.080 Asthma is a psychosomatic disease in which the  trachea gets compromised, both in its anatomy 0:23:24.080,0:23:32.160 and physiology. Skeletal Leap uses skeletal  meditations to heal its anatomy which, in turn, 0:23:32.160,0:23:37.600 can then heal itself. Cancer: 0:23:37.600,0:23:44.720 Cancer signifies uncontrolled cell growth that  may spread to the neighboring parts of the body. 0:23:44.720,0:23:51.600 More than 90% cases are caused by mutations  owing to environmental and lifestyle factors. 0:23:51.600,0:23:59.760 The rest of them are caused by inherited genetics. How does a normal cell turn into a cancerous cell? 0:23:59.760,0:24:07.600 In order to change its regulation, its genes  must get altered in one way or another. These 0:24:07.600,0:24:15.040 altered genes comprise oncogenes and tumor  suppressor genes. Oncogenes promote cell 0:24:15.040,0:24:22.080 growth and reproduction. Tumor suppressor  genes inhibit cell division and survival. 0:24:22.080,0:24:27.200 Mutations cause a gain or loss  of a portion of a chromosome. 0:24:27.200,0:24:34.240 So, the process develops as follows: A mutation takes place in the error 0:24:34.240,0:24:40.080 correcting system in a cell. A further mutation takes place 0:24:40.080,0:24:46.240 in an oncogene causing the cell to  grow and reproduce more speedily. 0:24:47.200,0:24:52.000 A further mutation takes place in a  tumor suppressor gene causing the cell 0:24:52.000,0:24:59.360 to disrupt its tumor suppressing system. A further mutation takes place in the 0:24:59.360,0:25:05.840 signaling system of the cell causing it to send  erroneous signals to its neighboring cells. 0:25:06.960,0:25:13.040 As a result, the cell in question  turns into a cancerous cell. 0:25:13.040,0:25:19.680 In 2019, 18 million cancer cases were  reported. Annually, 8.8 million deaths 0:25:19.680,0:25:26.400 are caused by cancer. It remains one of the  biggest challenges facing medical science today. 0:25:26.400,0:25:30.240 My study suggests that opening  the crown chakra is the most 0:25:30.240,0:25:36.720 instrumental in tending to keep cancer away. Cancer is a disease of the immune system going 0:25:36.720,0:25:43.520 hay wire. Skeletal Leap contends that it can  heal the overall anatomy of a body afflicted 0:25:43.520,0:25:50.560 with cancer including its most important part  in the skull that houses the brain in it. 0:25:50.560,0:25:57.120 Chronic Liver Disease or Liver Cirrhosis: Chronic liver disease is the process of 0:25:57.120,0:26:02.560 disruption of the entire liver structure  and function resulting in liver fibrosis 0:26:02.560,0:26:09.440 and liver cirrhosis. Liver fibrosis means  accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins 0:26:09.440,0:26:16.480 including collagen. That is what happens in  most kinds of chronic liver disease. Advanced 0:26:16.480,0:26:23.440 liver fibrosis ends up in liver cirrhosis  ultimately requiring liver transplantation. 0:26:23.440,0:26:32.640 Signs of liver disease are associated with two  different parameters - decompensation and cause. 0:26:32.640,0:26:38.480 Signs and Symptoms: Nail clubbing  | Palmar erythema | Spider 0:26:38.480,0:26:47.200 nevi (angiomata) | Gynaecomastia | Feminizing  hair distribution | Testicular atrophy | Small 0:26:47.200,0:26:54.240 irregular shrunken liver | Anaemia | Caput medusae 0:26:54.240,0:26:57.120 Signs associated with the Decompensation: 0:26:57.120,0:27:06.480 Drowsiness | Hyperventilation | Metabolic flap  | Jaundice | Ascites| Leukonychia | Peripheral 0:27:06.480,0:27:14.720 oedema | Bruising | Acid-base imbalance,  most commonly respiratory alkalosis 0:27:14.720,0:27:21.680 Signs associated with the Cause: Dupuytren’s  contracture | Parotid | Peripheral 0:27:21.680,0:27:28.000 neuropathy | Cerebellar signs |  Liver enlargement | Kayser-Fleischer 0:27:28.000,0:27:34.800 rings | Increased pigmentation of the  skin | Signs of right heart failure 0:27:34.800,0:27:41.760 Cirrhosis is the final stage of chronic  liver disease. Between 1990 and 2017, 0:27:41.760,0:27:49.840 the number of cases of decompensated cirrhosis  around the world rose from 5.2 million to 10.6 0:27:49.840,0:27:58.320 million. By 2019, cirrhosis caused 1.47  million deaths worldwide. The major causes 0:27:58.320,0:28:06.800 were alcoholism, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Opening the root chakra, the sacral chakra and 0:28:06.800,0:28:14.960 the solar plexus chakra, in my analysis, plays the  most important role in keeping the liver intact. 0:28:14.960,0:28:20.320 Liver is a part of the gut and,  hence, Skeletal Leap addresses it 0:28:20.320,0:28:26.400 through skeletal meditation aimed at healing  the anatomy of the gut. The healed anatomy 0:28:26.400,0:28:32.560 tends to heal its physiology depending on  which stage it has already proceeded to. 0:28:33.360,0:28:37.280 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: 0:28:37.280,0:28:43.200 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)  is a progressive lung disease caused by chronic 0:28:43.200,0:28:51.520 respiratory issues. The condition is characterized  either by emphysema or chronic bronchitis. 0:28:51.520,0:28:58.960 Emphysema breaks down the walls of enlarged  airspaces resulting in irreversible lung damage. 0:28:59.680,0:29:08.880 In 2019, the condition took a toll of 3.23 million  lives. An astonishing 391.9 million cases were 0:29:08.880,0:29:19.280 estimated in 2019, making it almost 10% of the  global population aged between 30 and 79 years. 0:29:19.280,0:29:25.680 An open solar plexus chakra tends to keep  chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at bay. 0:29:26.480,0:29:33.520 Healing depends on which stage the disease has  already progressed to. In case irreversible lung 0:29:33.520,0:29:40.640 damage has not yet happened, Skeletal Leap can  successfully facilitate skeletal meditations to 0:29:40.640,0:29:48.720 heal the anatomy of the chest region. Once the  anatomy has healed, the physiology follows suit. 0:29:48.720,0:29:53.120 Colitis: Colitis is a chronic condition of 0:29:53.120,0:30:00.800 an inflamed colon, with or without ulcers. There are quite a few different types of 0:30:00.800,0:30:06.720 colitis ranging from autoimmune  to infectious colitis, namely: 0:30:06.720,0:30:08.878 Autoimmune Colitis: Inflammatory Bowel Disease,  comprising ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease 0:30:08.878,0:30:11.920 | Microscopic Colitis: comprising lymphocytic  colitis and collagenous colitis | Diversion 0:30:11.920,0:30:17.600 Colitis | Chemical Colitis |  Chemotherapy-induced Colitis | Radiation 0:30:17.600,0:30:25.600 Colitis | Checkpoint-Inhibitor-Induced Colitis  | Ischemic Colitis | Infectious Colitis 0:30:26.400,0:30:33.360 I have learnt that opening the root chakra,  the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra 0:30:33.360,0:30:40.080 is most instrumental in treating colitis. The healing depends on which type of colitis 0:30:40.080,0:30:47.120 it is. Hence the safest bet is to heal the entire  body’s anatomy through skeletal meditations with 0:30:47.120,0:30:53.440 a special emphasis on the gut. Irritable Bowel Syndrome: 0:30:53.440,0:31:00.720 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) comprises  abdominal pain with inconsistent bowel movements. 0:31:01.360,0:31:04.000 There are four types of this condition: 0:31:04.960,0:31:12.320 IBS-D - characterized by persisting diarrhea  | IBS-C - characterized by persisting 0:31:12.320,0:31:18.240 constipation | BS-M/IBS-A - characterized  by persisting diarrhea and persisting 0:31:18.240,0:31:26.480 constipation | IBS-U - characterized by neither  persisting diarrhea nor persisting constipation 0:31:27.120,0:31:32.320 The condition is often accompanied  by anxiety, depression and chronic 0:31:32.320,0:31:38.560 fatigue syndrome all of which affect  the overall quality of life negatively. 0:31:38.560,0:31:45.440 Irritable bowel syndrome affects 1 in 10  people of the entire world population. 0:31:45.440,0:31:51.840 Again, opening the root chakra, the sacral  chakra and the solar plexus chakra is the 0:31:51.840,0:31:58.160 most instrumental in treating IBS. When it comes to healing IBS, 0:31:58.160,0:32:03.680 Skeletal Leap tends to work at two different  levels of healing the body anatomy through 0:32:03.680,0:32:10.240 skeletal meditations. The first one works at  the level of gut and the second works at the 0:32:10.240,0:32:17.440 level of skull. The two together address the  digestive system with the accompanying anxiety, 0:32:17.440,0:32:23.920 depression and chronic fatigue syndrome. Type 2 Diabetes: 0:32:23.920,0:32:29.680 Type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood  sugar caused by a reduction in insulin produced 0:32:29.680,0:32:41.200 by the pancreas. 90% of diabetic cases are of this  type. The remaining 10% (8.4 million estimated in 0:32:41.200,0:32:50.640 2021 worldwide) constitute type 1 diabetes which  is autoimmune along with gestational diabetes. 0:32:51.360,0:32:59.040 The classic symptoms of type 2 diabetes are: Frequent urination (polyuria) | Increased 0:32:59.040,0:33:07.200 thirst (polydipsia) | Increased  hunger (polyphagia) | Weight loss 0:33:07.200,0:33:08.720 Other symptoms include: 0:33:08.720,0:33:18.320 Blurred vision | Itchiness | Peripheral neuropathy  | Vaginal infections | Fatigue | Loss of taste 0:33:18.960,0:33:24.720 The causative factors are a combination  of lifestyle and genetic factors. 0:33:24.720,0:33:33.200 In 2021, 537 million people were afflicted  with diabetes the world over. It shortens 0:33:33.200,0:33:41.600 life-expectancy by as much as around 10 years. Once again, opening the root chakra, 0:33:41.600,0:33:47.680 the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra  is the most instrumental in treating diabetes. 0:33:48.880,0:33:55.440 The healing process needs to focus on healing the  anatomy of the pancreas. Its widespread prevalence 0:33:55.440,0:34:03.040 the world over makes this disease very serious.  Skeletal meditations that heal the entire body’s 0:34:03.040,0:34:11.600 anatomy with special emphasis on the gut seem  to work the best to eradicate the condition. 0:34:11.600,0:34:16.960 Cardiovascular Disease: Cardiovascular disease is a 0:34:16.960,0:34:22.640 category of various diseases associated  with the circulatory system such as: 0:34:22.640,0:34:29.360 Coronary artery diseases including angina  and myocardial infarction | Stroke | Heart 0:34:29.360,0:34:37.280 failure | Hypertensive heart disease | Rheumatic  heart disease | Cardiomyopathy | Abnormal 0:34:37.280,0:34:45.200 heart rhythms | Congenital heart disease |  Valvular heart disease | Carditis | Aortic 0:34:45.200,0:34:54.080 aneurysms | Peripheral artery disease |  Thromboembolic disease | Venous thrombosis 0:34:54.080,0:34:57.680 Genetics is an important  factor since it could increase 0:34:57.680,0:35:04.960 the risk of cardiovascular disease by 300%. Cardiovascular diseases are the biggest cause 0:35:04.960,0:35:12.960 of death throughout the world, the only exception  being Africa. It was estimated that 17.9 million 0:35:12.960,0:35:21.840 people died from CVDs in 2019, representing  32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 0:35:21.840,0:35:28.560 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. The solar plexus chakra and the heart chakra 0:35:28.560,0:35:32.960 play the main role in dealing  with cardiovascular diseases. 0:35:32.960,0:35:39.680 These are, again, very widespread diseases.  Skeletal Leap’s answer is to heal the entire 0:35:39.680,0:35:46.960 body’s anatomy through skeletal meditations  with a special emphasis on the chest region. 0:35:46.960,0:35:50.080 Hypertension: Hypertension, 0:35:50.080,0:35:56.160 aka high blood pressure, is characterized by a  persistent rise in blood pressure. It primarily 0:35:56.160,0:36:03.200 harms a person by increasing the risk of: Stroke | Coronary artery disease | Heart failure | 0:36:03.200,0:36:12.960 Atrial fibrillation | Peripheral arterial disease  | Vision loss | Chronic kidney disease | Dementia 0:36:12.960,0:36:19.680 Hypertension may be a primary condition, caused  by lifestyle aberrations or genetic factors, 0:36:19.680,0:36:23.840 or secondary, as a side-effect of other causes. 0:36:23.840,0:36:29.280 Blood pressure is measured as systolic  and diastolic pressures that correspond 0:36:29.280,0:36:36.080 to its maximum and minimum pressures. The condition affects 1.28 billion 0:36:36.080,0:36:43.840 adults aged 30-79 years which is  about 16% of the global population. 0:36:43.840,0:36:54.480 It was also a factor in 13.5% of all deaths  counting to 7.6 million in the year 2011. 0:36:54.480,0:37:03.760 Opening the solar plexus, heart and crown chakras  tends to do the needful to keep hypertension away. 0:37:03.760,0:37:10.000 Skeletal Leap achieves this through skeletal  meditations focused on healing the body’s anatomy 0:37:10.000,0:37:17.280 in two parts - the chest and the skull. Metabolic Syndrome: 0:37:17.280,0:37:22.000 Metabolic syndrome is a condition  characterized by the presence of any 0:37:22.000,0:37:29.520 three of the following conditions in the body: Abdominal obesity | Hypertension | High blood 0:37:29.520,0:37:37.040 sugar | High serum triglycerides |  Low serum high density lipoprotein 0:37:37.040,0:37:44.880 Left untreated, this condition, affecting  around 20-25% of global population, 0:37:44.880,0:37:50.960 may result in cardiovascular  disease or type 2 diabetes. 0:37:50.960,0:37:53.520 Opening the root, sacral, 0:37:53.520,0:37:59.920 solar plexus and heart chakras tend to  address metabolic syndrome effectively. 0:38:00.640,0:38:06.640 Healing the body’s anatomy in the gut and  the chest seems to work best in relieving 0:38:06.640,0:38:14.400 the syndrome. That is exactly what Skeletal  Leap focuses on through skeletal meditations. 0:38:14.400,0:38:18.960 Chronic Kidney Disease: Chronic kidney disease is 0:38:18.960,0:38:24.880 characterized by a loss in kidney functions.  The causative factors of the disease are: 0:38:24.880,0:38:33.520 Diabetes | Hypertension | Glomerulonephritis  | Polycystic kidney disease 0:38:33.520,0:38:39.040 In the year 2022, more than 800  million people are estimated to 0:38:39.040,0:38:45.280 be affected by chronic kidney disease  globally, causing 1.3 million deaths. 0:38:45.840,0:38:51.200 Opening the root, sacral and solar  plexus chakras is the most instrumental 0:38:51.200,0:38:56.960 in treating chronic kidney disease. Changing the body’s anatomy in the gut 0:38:56.960,0:39:02.560 through skeletal meditations seems to work  provided the disease has not progressed to 0:39:02.560,0:39:07.920 an advanced stage. Osteoporosis: 0:39:07.920,0:39:14.000 Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by  the deterioration of bone tissue resulting in 0:39:14.000,0:39:21.200 lower bone mass. It tends to make bones  more fragile and prone to fractures. 0:39:21.200,0:39:26.720 Homo sapiens have a greater tendency to  suffer this disease as their bones are more 0:39:26.720,0:39:35.680 porous than other primates. This is, at once, an  expected outcome as well as cause of bipedalism. 0:39:35.680,0:39:42.400 Porous bones in Homo sapiens absorb the stress  on two surfaces as compared to four in their 0:39:42.400,0:39:49.680 primate cousins. At the same time, porosity  means a lighter and more flexible skeleton 0:39:49.680,0:39:56.320 that is of much benefit to Homo sapiens. The disease is more common in females 0:39:56.320,0:40:05.680 than in males. It affects 18.3% of the global  population, which breaks down to 11.7% of males 0:40:05.680,0:40:16.160 and 23.1% females. It can be prevented to a great  extent if we ensure necessary calcium in our diet. 0:40:16.160,0:40:22.640 Osteoporosis responds to opening all 7  chakras in one associated sequential order. 0:40:23.360,0:40:27.840 Skeletal Leap addresses the entire body’s  anatomy through skeletal meditations 0:40:27.840,0:40:34.560 to alleviate osteoporosis. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: 0:40:34.560,0:40:40.080 Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine  disorder in females of reproductive age, 0:40:40.080,0:40:46.160 that causes cysts in their ovaries. The effects and characteristics 0:40:46.160,0:40:50.880 of the disease include: Irregular menstrual periods | Heavy 0:40:50.880,0:41:00.000 periods | Excess hair | Acne | Pelvic pain |  Difficulty in conceiving | Patches of thick, dark 0:41:00.000,0:41:09.680 and velvety skin | Hyperandrogenism | Anovulation  | Insulin resistance | Neuroendocrine disruption 0:41:10.400,0:41:17.360 The condition affects an estimated 8-13% of  the female population globally while another 0:41:17.360,0:41:23.840 70% of the affected women are estimated  to be undiagnosed. There are no known 0:41:23.840,0:41:30.480 causes of or cure for this disease. Opening the sacral chakra is crucial 0:41:30.480,0:41:35.440 in curing PCOS. PCOS responds the 0:41:35.440,0:41:41.520 best to healing the gut’s anatomy and  physiology through skeletal meditations. 0:41:41.520,0:41:44.800 Stroke: Stroke is a 0:41:44.800,0:41:51.920 condition characterized by a lack of blood flow to  parts of the brain. It causes brain cells to die 0:41:51.920,0:42:00.560 in those affected parts. The condition is of two  types, ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. In 0:42:00.560,0:42:08.880 the former type, a reduced supply of blood is the  causative factor. In the latter, it is bleeding. 0:42:08.880,0:42:14.800 The major risk factors causing a stroke are: Hypertension | High blood 0:42:14.800,0:42:24.960 cholesterol | Obesity | Diabetes mellitus |  End-stage kidney disease | Atrial fibrillation 0:42:24.960,0:42:34.640 In the year 2019, ischemic stroke befell 101.5  million people globally of which 3.3 million 0:42:34.640,0:42:44.480 were left dead whereas 2.9 million died of a  hemorrhagic stroke among 20.7 million that were 0:42:44.480,0:42:53.760 affected by it. In 2015, stroke was the second  biggest killer next to coronary artery disease. 0:42:54.800,0:43:00.320 Opening the solar plexus, heart and crown  chakras is the most important maneuver 0:43:00.320,0:43:06.960 to keep any probability of a stroke away. Skeletal Leap focuses on healing the anatomy 0:43:06.960,0:43:13.280 of the chest and skull through skeletal  meditations to relieve this condition. 0:43:13.280,0:43:18.480 Major Depressive Disorder: Major depressive disorder 0:43:18.480,0:43:25.440 aka depression is a dysfunction of the mind that  also affects the thinking capacity of the brain. 0:43:25.440,0:43:30.000 The condition is characterized by: Low mood | Low self esteem at every 0:43:30.000,0:43:38.880 level | Loss of interest in routine as well as  in fun activities | Delusions | Hallucinations 0:43:38.880,0:43:45.360 The condition, once contracted, stays  for a few months to the entire lifetime. 0:43:45.360,0:43:51.600 Psychiatry treats the victims with antidepressant  medication and psychotherapy. In case of 0:43:51.600,0:43:59.360 emergencies like acute suicidal tendencies, the  patient needs to be hospitalized for safety. 0:43:59.360,0:44:05.520 The causes are believed to be genetic,  environmental as well as psychological. 0:44:05.520,0:44:12.080 But nothing has yet proved to be of much  help in curing the disease once and forever. 0:44:12.080,0:44:19.440 In the year 2023, major depressive  disorder afflicted 280 million people 0:44:19.440,0:44:27.360 globally. That amounts to almost 4% of  the entire world population. In general, 0:44:27.360,0:44:33.600 depression has already started assuming  widespread proportions the world over. 0:44:33.600,0:44:42.560 Two Interesting Stories of Internalizing Anger In my personal experience, depression internalizes 0:44:42.560,0:44:48.320 the patient’s aggressive emotions  against themselves. For example, 0:44:48.320,0:44:55.600 it had wrapped its claws around one of my  friends some 40-odd years ago. He could never 0:44:55.600,0:45:02.640 come out of it in the true sense of the word. Once, even in his acutely depressed mode, 0:45:02.640,0:45:10.000 he got angry with me about something we had been  discussing. And he unleashed that anger. As he 0:45:10.000,0:45:17.840 did so, he instantaneously seemed to have come out  of his depression. He sounded exactly like he used 0:45:17.840,0:45:25.600 to sound before he had fallen victim to it. Once  his aggressive expression ended, he slid back into 0:45:25.600,0:45:33.600 his depression. He returned to internalizing his  anger - a characteristic symptom of depression. 0:45:33.600,0:45:39.440 I don’t mean to say that aggression or anger  is a healthy stance of mind. I have already 0:45:39.440,0:45:46.160 told you under the topic of ‘Arthritis’ how my  suppressed anger had afflicted me with succumbing 0:45:46.160,0:45:53.680 to viral arthritis. What I mean to say is that  aggression can bring one out of one’s depression. 0:45:53.680,0:46:02.000 It can bring one to a state of so-called ‘normal’. I witnessed another case of internalized anger, 0:46:02.000,0:46:08.080 this time in a terminal schizophrenic on  street. He was a recluse who kept roaming 0:46:08.080,0:46:15.600 aimlessly on streets, talking gibberish to no  one in particular. One day, I stood street-side 0:46:15.600,0:46:22.240 with a group of my trainees. It was then that  he passed us by. One of my very aggressive 0:46:22.240,0:46:30.960 trainees mocked him with a derogatory remark.  And what we witnessed next was eye-opening. 0:46:30.960,0:46:37.200 The terminal schizophrenic stopped for a moment,  turned back and addressed this aggressive trainee 0:46:37.200,0:46:45.200 of mine loudly. He yelled, “One should at least  possess a sense of etiquette, if nothing else.” 0:46:45.200,0:46:49.920 Immediately thereafter, he went back  to being his gibberish old self. 0:46:51.280,0:46:57.200 We were all taken aback by what we had just  seen and heard. A terminal schizophrenic 0:46:57.200,0:47:03.600 had momentarily come out of his illness  and then voluntarily slid back into it! 0:47:03.600,0:47:09.680 Do people take a secure refuge in their mental  disorders unconsciously? Maybe they take this 0:47:09.680,0:47:14.800 secure refuge through internalizing their  emotions against themselves to avoid facing 0:47:14.800,0:47:22.400 the harsh realities of life unconsciously. It is something we really need to research! 0:47:22.400,0:47:27.200 As far as chakras are concerned,  the chakra that is key to fighting 0:47:27.200,0:47:33.440 depression is an open crown chakra. Thankfully, today’s world understands 0:47:33.440,0:47:40.160 the seriousness of mental illnesses quite well.  That is why Skeletal Leap focuses on healing the 0:47:40.160,0:47:46.640 entire body anatomy, which, in turn, tends to  heal the neurology and the psychology of the 0:47:46.640,0:47:51.520 entire mind-body system. Obesity: 0:47:51.520,0:47:59.680 Obesity as a debilitating condition of excess fat  on the body disrupts health, fitness and wellness. 0:48:00.480,0:48:06.480 Obesity is quantitatively defined  as body mass index (BMI) crossing 0:48:06.480,0:48:10.960 30 kilogram of body weight per  meter square of height. The range 0:48:10.960,0:48:16.080 between 25-30 kilogram per meter  square is defined as overweight. 0:48:16.800,0:48:19.680 The condition is considered  to be a breeding ground for: 0:48:19.680,0:48:26.560 Cardiovascular diseases | Type 2 diabetes  | Obstructive sleep apnea | Some specific 0:48:26.560,0:48:33.440 cancers | Osteoarthritis | Depression (in  a dialectical relationship with obesity) 0:48:34.080,0:48:37.360 Obesity has a long list of  causative factors including: 0:48:37.360,0:48:43.120 Dietary imbalance | Physical  inactivity | Automotive devices | Urban 0:48:43.120,0:48:52.240 lifestyle | Genetics | Excess medicinal intake  | Mental dysfunctions | Endocrine disorders 0:48:52.240,0:48:58.160 Right now, more than 42% of all Americans  are obese. Also, the number of obese people 0:48:58.160,0:49:05.040 globally has more than doubled in the last 30  years resulting in 2.8 million annual deaths by 0:49:05.040,0:49:15.680 By the year 2015, the US and China topped  the list of obese populations. By the same year, 0:49:15.680,0:49:21.920 China and India topped the list of countries  with the largest numbers of obese children. 0:49:21.920,0:49:28.400 Obesity throughout the world has assumed a  debilitating stature making its scale even 0:49:28.400,0:49:34.560 larger than any other disease. That is why and  how the weight loss business has become one of 0:49:34.560,0:49:41.280 the most lucrative businesses the world over! Skeletal Leap addresses the challenge of 0:49:41.280,0:49:47.200 obesity through skeletal meditations  healing the entire body’s anatomy. 0:49:47.200,0:49:52.640 Here is an interesting corollary: The best way to lose belly fat is 0:49:52.640,0:49:58.960 opening the solar plexus chakra. Doing  so relaxes the thoracic diaphragm which, 0:49:58.960,0:50:06.160 in turn, makes exhalations more emphatic than  inhalations while breathing. And, as breathing 0:50:06.160,0:50:14.080 is a 24 hour process, it tends to lose belly fat  much faster than any other weight loss method. 0:50:14.080,0:50:18.400 Vascular Dementia: Vascular dementia is a type of 0:50:18.400,0:50:24.400 dementia caused by aberrations in blood supply  to the brain. Such aberrations result in minor 0:50:24.400,0:50:31.040 strokes accompanied by degenerative cognition.  With the passage of time, the brain structure 0:50:31.040,0:50:38.480 experiences an irreversible cognitive regression. Vascular dementia is the second biggest cause 0:50:38.480,0:50:44.720 of dementia-related deaths, the first being  Alzheimer’s disease. The condition afflicts 0:50:44.720,0:50:51.440 1.5% of the population in Western countries and  an even larger section in the rest of the world. 0:50:52.560,0:50:58.720 Opening the crown chakra tends to heal  vascular dementia the most effective way. 0:50:58.720,0:51:03.760 Skeletal Leap addresses dementia through  skeletal meditations healing the entire 0:51:03.760,0:51:11.440 body’s anatomy. As anatomy heals,  neurology and physiology follow suit. 0:51:11.440,0:51:16.800 Immune System Dysfunction: Our immune system is a defensive network of 0:51:16.800,0:51:24.480 biological processes aimed at protection against  diseases. It first detects a pathogen, animate or 0:51:24.480,0:51:32.320 inanimate, and then responds to it appropriately. It has two major subsystems: 0:51:32.320,0:51:36.720 Innate immune system -  protects against any pathogen 0:51:37.680,0:51:44.880 Adaptive immune system - protects against those  pathogens for which antibodies have already been 0:51:44.880,0:51:50.960 formed (which is how vaccines work) Immune system dysfunction may cause: 0:51:50.960,0:51:56.800 Autoimmune diseases |  Inflammatory diseases | Cancer 0:51:56.800,0:51:58.640 Immunodeficiency may stem from: 0:51:58.640,0:52:01.360 Genetic disease like severe combined 0:52:01.360,0:52:10.320 immunodeficiency | HIV/AIDS | Use  of immunosuppressive medication 0:52:10.320,0:52:15.440 Autoimmunity indicates a hyperactive  immune system attacking its own healthy 0:52:15.440,0:52:20.960 tissues mistaking them to be foreign  invaders. It may result in diseases like: 0:52:20.960,0:52:27.920 Hashimoto’s thyroiditis | Rheumatoid  arthritis | Diabetes mellitus type 1 | 0:52:27.920,0:52:35.920 Systemic lupus erythematosus | Inflammatory bowel  disease | Multiple sclerosis | Guillain-Barre 0:52:35.920,0:52:42.240 syndrome | Chronic inflammatory demyelinating  polyneuropathy | Psoriasis | Grave’s 0:52:42.240,0:52:54.080 disease | Myasthenia gravis | Vasculitis | Celiac  disease | Addison’s disease | Pernicious anemia 0:52:54.080,0:53:00.800 Innate immune system is the ultimate savior as  it works in a generic manner against pathogens 0:53:00.800,0:53:08.000 through pattern recognition receptors. Adaptive  immune system may work in a stronger manner 0:53:08.000,0:53:14.880 but only against limited pathogens. These few  pathogens are the ones that the innate immune 0:53:14.880,0:53:21.440 system has already built antibodies against. Hence everything essentially falls back on the 0:53:21.440,0:53:27.840 protective support system created by the  innate immune system in the first place. 0:53:27.840,0:53:34.080 The Story of How My Innate Immune System  Protected Me against the Coronavirus 0:53:34.080,0:53:40.800 In the year 2021, I had a family of relatives  over. We would soon realize that all three of 0:53:40.800,0:53:47.360 them had already contracted the Omicron variant  of the Covid-19 virus on their flight to my city. 0:53:47.360,0:53:54.080 As was expected, they passed on the extremely  contagious virus to my entire family as well. Even 0:53:54.080,0:54:00.960 the vaccinated ones weren’t being spared from it. First of all, my daughter and a vaccinated friend 0:54:00.960,0:54:07.840 of hers who had accompanied her to our house  went down. Then another friend of mine who 0:54:07.840,0:54:16.160 had visited me in their presence fell prey to  it. Next, it was my wife to contract Omicron. 0:54:16.160,0:54:20.960 Logically, I should have been the next to  catch the virus as there was none else left 0:54:20.960,0:54:28.240 uninfected. Everyone including me kept waiting  for the virus to afflict me but it just didn’t 0:54:28.240,0:54:36.480 happen. All of us were astonished. I was not even  vaccinated. It occurred to me that my practice of 0:54:36.480,0:54:43.280 central fixation might have been my savior. Central fixation empties the mind and sets 0:54:43.280,0:54:48.640 it free not only turning the mind-body  system spontaneously intelligent but also 0:54:48.640,0:54:56.320 strengthening its innate immune system. It opens  chakras via skeletal re-posturing of the body. 0:54:56.320,0:55:02.800 It is this skeletal re-posturing that works  wonders and is at the heart of Skeletal Leap. 0:55:03.600,0:55:10.480 The Omicron variant later entered the  phase of widespread contagion. In contrast, 0:55:10.480,0:55:17.360 I was spared despite close proximity to  its source right inside my own house. 0:55:17.360,0:55:22.000 This experience does say something, perhaps a lot, 0:55:22.000,0:55:28.800 about the extraordinary efficacy of central  fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind! 0:55:29.440,0:55:36.240 I always felt that we, the Homo sapiens all  over the world, overreacted to Covid-19 and 0:55:36.240,0:55:41.520 rushed in a host of vaccines without  even doing their human trials. That is 0:55:41.520,0:55:49.120 why even the vaccinated ones aren’t really  safe against the virus and its variants. 0:55:49.120,0:55:54.960 Skeletal Leap addresses all immune system  dysfunctions through skeletal meditations, healing 0:55:54.960,0:56:03.040 the entire body’s anatomy. Once the anatomy  heals, the physiology follows in its footsteps. 0:56:03.040,0:56:08.800 The other day, I received a text meme forwarded  to my mobile that made me laugh out loud (which 0:56:08.800,0:56:16.400 I generally don’t). It’s hilarious!  Must enjoy reading it in my PDF version. 0:56:16.400,0:56:23.200 We are going to look at the role of stress in  generating lifestyle diseases in the next episode. 0:56:23.920,0:56:29.360 We will also look at the role of  Skeletal Leap in dealing with stress. 0:56:29.360,0:56:36.720 Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal  Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode, 0:56:36.720,0:56:45.040 I will tell you about what stress really means  in terms of chakras and skeletal postures. 0:56:45.040,0:56:51.120 Be a part of Skeletal Leap Community!  Subscribe to Skeletal Leap Newsletter.
