Re: A Simple Nasal Balloon Procedure

There was a point in time almost a year ago where I wrote about using two balloons. I've experimented with it for some time and it doesn't increase results, stick with 1 and you'll be safer.

I am going to take pictures of my progress here soon, after taking a 5 month break and starting up recently.

Before it slips into the top of my throat, I have noticed that I will feel pressure on my ears, though I am not positive whether this is the same as the 'popping' that I've heard about

You probably expand the balloon quite a lot in the turbinate, which pushes the turbinate up against the sphenoid/ethmoid bones. You can get release purely from expanding the balloon in the turbinate (that's what I did my first 2 months, without realizing it).

The popping is believed to be sudden release of connective tissues in various parts of the skull. You shouldn't get popping unless you use a lot of force like an NCR doctor, and I sure as hell do not encourage this.

Where to inflate the balloon can be counter-intuitive, but it's usually a good rule of thumb to follow those patterns of misalignment you're noticing, although an NCR doctor who subscribes to Howell's theories would say that you'll be relying on pure chance to find "the only correct" placement of the balloon.

I've found that there ARE better placements, but one correct placement? This doesn't seem to be the case. It seems there are better placements, and every go-round a couple bad ones, where, if you were to use a lot of force in that area you might spin yourself down regression road. But at this point it is all anecdotal theory propped up with a bit of body science.

Anyway, you have to understand Tyler that even if you or myself discovered the perfect, Golden technique which across all boards affected 100% of everybody the same way (and I can assure you no person on earth has discovered it because bodies aren't identical and this therapy in particular is affected by a LOT of body variables)... even if we expressed that technique perfectly through writing, there would still be a huge percentage of people who wouldn't be capable of following those instructions or guidelines. Lots of people would do weird, even dangerous things. Written communication is terrible when it comes to these things. I know this from experience working with people.

I would love to refine everything I've learned and distill it down into a better book, since I learn more every day... but I think this is like massage, you'd be crazy to learn it from a book.

It might be better to email people on the forum (it's displayed) if you want to work with them Tyler :] Nice of you though
