Nerve Impulse
Deficiency (NID)
And Your Nervous System

"You are only as healthy as your nervous system is functional"
NID Audio

The power of this simple statement cannot be overemphasized. Your nervous system controls and regulates every function of your body.

Every cell, tissue and organ requires electricity (electromagnetic energy) to function. Where does this electricity come from? Simply put, where there is life there is electricity. From the point of conception on, electricity is present in your body in the form of electromagnetic energy. Thought, breath, movement, digestion and carrying out complex chemical processes, are all under electrical control.

The Job of Your Nervous System

Your nervous system is made up of hundreds of nerves and millions of nerve fibers. The job of this vast network of "living wires" is to carry electrical signals, composed of electrical nerve impulses, to and from all parts of your body.

Nervous System Structures

Structurally, your nervous system is comprised of your brain, spinal cord and nerves. Your brain and spinal cord make up what is known as your central nervous system, and your spinal nerves make up your peripheral nervous system.

Your central nervous system is the place where all complex electrical information is processed. Peripheral nerves (motor nerves) have the job of carrying processed information, in the form of electrical control signals, from your brain and spinal cord to all the muscles, tissues and organs of your body. In the form of electrical regulatory signals, unprocessed information is carried back through other peripheral nerves (sensory nerves) in order to be processed by the brain and spinal cord.

A Healthy Nervous System
 
A healthy nervous system is both structurally and functionally sound. As with all parts of your body, nerves are made up of cells; and all cells require vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutrients in order to be healthy. Structurally healthy nerves are capable of freely carrying electrical information to and from all parts of the body. Structurally sound nerves, however, are not necessarily functioning properly. The functionality of a nerve has to do with how effectively it transmits nerve impulses, "fires".

An Unhealthy Nervous System

An unhealthy nervous system is characterized by nerves that consistently over or under fire. This may be the result of structurally damaged nerve tissue or may result from a variety of other stressful situations. Regardless of the cause, these functionally deficient nerves result in a condition known as Nerve Impulse Deficiency, N.I.D.

NID - What Causes It?

That six letter word beginning with "S"- Stress!!

Some Types of Stress:

§ Emotional
§ Physical
§ Chemical
§ Nutritional
§ Environmental

Your body's nervous system is designed to enable you to respond to various kinds of stresses. Neurological firing patterns will alter the amount of electrical energy being sent to specific muscles and organs depending on the stress at hand. For example, when running out of the path of a speeding car, the nerves that go to the muscles in your legs will fire more rapidly to provide the increase in electrical energy needed for your leg muscles to function quickly and powerfully. Simultaneously, nerves going to your digestive system will fire less rapidly, reducing the amount of electricity reaching those organs. In that moment, the priority is dashing out of the way of the car, not digesting your lunch.

In a short period of time after this emergency situation is over, a healthy body will return to a state of electrical balance. In a sense, it will reset itself; and all nerves will return to a normal firing rate.

However, when stresses occur with sufficient intensity and duration, your nervous system can fail to reset itself. In time it can actually lose the ability to automatically do so. Remember, your body is intelligent. You have the ability through your nervous system to learn, recall and perform tasks. That's why you can ride a bicycle even if you haven?t ridden one since you were a child. Nerve Impulse Deficiency occurs when your body's nervous system, for whatever reason, holds on to an altered firing pattern, repeats it automatically and fails to correct the situation on its own.

Identifying Nerve Impulse Deficiency, NID

Electro Magnetic Imaging, E.M.I., is a safe, painless and effective way of electronically measuring the efficiency of the body's nervous system. Conditions such as N.I.D. can be easily identified, quantified, charted and interpreted. No other method affords such a clear picture of the workings of the peripheral nervous system.

By combining information from the art of Chinese Meridian Therapy, with that of Neurophysiology and Neuroanatomy, EMI gives us valuable insights into central nervous system function.

Electro Magnetic Imaging (E.M.I.) 
EMI Audio
   Electro Magnetic Imaging, E.M.I., is a safe, painless and effective way of electronically measuring the efficiency of the body's nervous system. "The procedure is easy and painless and is appropriate for patients of any age." E.M.I. is a modern version of the Chinese technique known as "Ryodo-Raku". By measuring the electrical resistance of 24 specific Nerve/Meridian points, this test is capable of identifying functional imbalances related to the body's nervous system. Information is gathered by taking measurements from points on the wrists, hands, ankles and feet. 
   The skin is lightly contacted with a moist cotton tipped instrument and numerical readings are made at each location. This is a completely non-invasive, non-needle procedure. The small amount of electrical energy needed to perform this test is well below human perception.

The procedure is therefore completely painless and safe. Numerical values are then entered into our E.M.I. computer program, where database calculations result in the generation of a detailed graph, chart and report. This information correlates the function of specific nerves, their associated organs and the potential diseases and conditions that can result. 

   At Cherubino Health Center we have found that the information obtained through the use of E.M.I. is valuable in the evaluation, treatment and management of chronic and acute conditions of all types. Conditions such as Nerve Impulse Deficency (NID), can easily be identified, quantified, charted and interpreted.
