Break the Matrix

Hi just bumping this thread I started 4 years ago with a bit of an update:

I see I mentioned taking a "several month" break from doing the inflations, which of course due to work and several other factors (and probably just laziness on my part) the break turned into 3 long years where I didn't do much other than the occasional "maintenance" inflation. Also, after I got towards that 70th set of inflations I was not seeing as much progress or doing much work to improve my techniques, but was still more than happy with the improvements!

Well, about one and a half years ago I noticed there was some negative type movements and relapse with my skull shape, probably partially due to the fore mentioned stress, I suffered from some symptoms where I noticed that both my eye sockets were not lining up evenly in my skull anymore, one had seemed to dropped downwards and backwards slightly.... These symptoms were silent and sudden.

So over the past six or seven months I have decided to complete yet another set of 70 balloon inflations (with each set usually between 4 to 8 channels treated, or sometimes as little as one) and managed to get both of my eyes looking even again (I think the original problem may have been because I over-treated a particular area, there was also a predisposition for me to have a weakness in that area as I had a similar mystery collapse during orthodontic treatment that strangely seemed to self-correct later on).

Because I was really happy with all other aspects of treatment (my nasal improvements still function brilliantly, and I got a more fantastically even, wider smile) I decided that I was on the the right track with the treatment after all despite the latest setback, and would try to plow ahead with it.... I also decided to add face pulling with a Hawley retainer; this time on a much more dedicated daily basis rather than the half-arsed attempts from before.

Well I think this new set of 70 inflations has resulted in much more serious "Dean Howell" style facial remodeling than I had intended, or even thought was possible before with much more (and fantastic!) lateral expansion - whereas from previous treatments it was my profile (side view) that from benefited the most. (I realize that Dean Howell probably could have gotten a far better result from fewer inflations.) I feel glad now that this treatment will be ongoing for me as it's one of the only ways to truly counteract the effects of gravity.

Note: Don't ask me for pictures. I NEVER took any from my profile before because I was so freaked out by how it looked, and that is where 85% of my progress has been.

But some notes for progress:

*Keep track of how much expansion is happening by making a note of how much white is showing around the edges of your eyes. Does each one show an equal amount of white as the other? Does one look like it's moved further apart from the other? Are they at an even level?

*Look for the same with "black triangles" at the corner of your mouth. When you smile do the corners seem to be showing less shadow and more tooth structure?

*Are the cheekbones looking even in height and projection?

*Any change in ear shape?

*DO make sure you experiment with different brands and sizes of finger cots... I started with the tips of latex gloves snipped off which probably wasn't a bad idea as they expand differently (lengthways and outwards, unlike finger cots which are laterally expanding). This kind of "taps" the speniod rather than crushing upon it.... Might be better for first time use, though finger cot's are the best for serious facial re-modeling.

*Look for "sweet spots" when doing NCR inflations. You'll find that some channels are more compressed than others, these ones will feel really good when you open them (but don't over do it!)

*I found NCR was always more effective and less fatiguing done within the first hour of waking (The heavy feeling of sedation afterwards was another reason I stopped).

*Face pulling is really necessary if you want the absolute best result. I cant believe I ever thought this would give me an overbite! The results are really beyond what I think NCR can deliver for reasons that NCR does seem to reach a limit once the nasal channels are balanced and open and flowing, where as if you have a compressed profile (like most people who do NCR treatments) with the face pulling the sky can be the limit!

A couple of people on the forum have mentioned experimenting with a face pulling device. I hooked a couple of elastics onto my hawley retainer and tried a few ten to fifteen minute sessions though i did not use any headgear as demonstrated on Plato's website, just held the elastics out at the angle and tension I though was working best...

I am not sure the results were strong enough for me to judge yet. It did feel pretty good. My bite was a little more open temporarily afterwards but because my lower jaw is still moving forward from NCR treatments, things have tightened up again for me. I still feel a huge amount of pressure on certain teeth during NCR inflations so at this stage I will give up on face pulling till I hit a certain amount of equilibrium with NCR. What are others experiences with it so far?   

I cannot believe it has only been three months since my first post here. Wow it has quietened down here somewhat. Quite unbelievable that I once had a strange notion that "someone could teach me NCR online", finding Bens site a few hours later and then starting days after! Quite bizarre! Yet this site is obviously such a fabulous resource for people that really need it. I am really hoping that it will continue to be an archive and a place people can come for help and information in the future...

Well, I am now around my 57th set of inflations, and am still feeling the benefits of what I have been doing. I am planning to take it up to my goal of 70 by the end of next month and then have a (much needed) several month long break to rest up... I will continue, I am sure next year but probably on a much gentler timeframe.

The benefits to my health are very evident now. The extra muscle mass on my body has started to become more noticeable - I am eating more but the weight seems to going to the right places for once! I have become much more aware of breathing during sleep and am sleeping in a much more conscience way , if that makes any sense. I get a rush of energy right after an inflation (usually done in the morning) and feel rather fatigued by the afternoon/evening, happily the fatigue disappears after a couple of days of rest... It feels so great! I think the cognitive benefits really start to kick in and become more powerful after the 40th or so set of inflations... 

My face more or less looks like it used to, just more symmetrical. The changes are more noticeable in profile. The sloping ridges over my eyes that used to bother me the most, now are smooth and rounded, my nose has better projection whereas before it was almost a vertical drop from the top of my forehead to the tip of nose. Ive taken hundreds of photographs throughout the whole transformation so I expect I will be able to choose some and post them online when I get a chance to sift through them all ...

Feeling much more confidant about the world in general and willing to make changes in my life for the better. Looking forward to traveling the world again and seeing it from a better looking set of eyes!


   

Yes Messiah, thank you for posting your results so far. Please keep us up to date. It looks like you have already gained several centimeters in height at least judging by where the tips of your ears are in the last picture. It might be partially the lighting or the better posture but you really do look much better already! You must be thrilled at the results!

Hi all!

Having completed my 22nd set of inflations in just under two months I've found that lesser sets of inflations, but more frequent session times seems to work best for me. Am at the point now where facial changes are becoming more noticeable (the Neanderthal look I mentioned before is starting to smooth out, temples are filling out) I also seem to be swinging my arms in a much more rhythmic, natural way, in fact I need to be rather careful not to start "twirling"in places like supermarkets where it has become easy to knock stuff of shelves!

It's all good though, the only negatives from treatments have been mild back pain I got after moving furniture, which required half a days bed rest, as well as a mild intermittent headache that has me rather more concerned.. But It's not really anything like the horrible migraines I've had in the past, in fact I'd be tempted to describe my headaches as quality or "positive pain" as I am sure this is due to the dura matter unwinding. Nothing that has required anything like aspirin yet.

The vivid dreams I got are also much more back to normal. I hope this is a sign that some cognitive benefits are starting to be gained.

Yes Ben,

It is literally like the ultimate way to be responsible for your own health and well being. I have mentioned it to several people and like you say only a very small amount of them have been receptive to the idea, I just have to respect their judgements and be cool with it. One person who surprised me was my own mother, she has often poo-pooed my various alternative health ideas and has always been vaguely disapproving of them but for some reason she was very keen on this idea and wanted to try it for herself!

Hello everyone, have just finished my first series and would like to give a testimonial

Had a test run on day 1, followed by a series of four as suggested by Ben. I was eager to get started and as my finger cots had not yet arrived, I went to the supermarket and bought a packet a disposable, non powder coated latex gloves (the type they use in hospitals and restaurants) and cut the finger lengths to size. This seemed to work well as the different finger sizes can be tried to work differently. Will experiment some more when the cots finally arrive. 

The first application went fine, I was surprised it felt so comfortable, in fact I was a little disappointed not to hear "cracking" sounds the 1st time as many people describe it. I tried to find all 6 turbinates, it took some poking around but was quite easy to do after a few minutes. I inflated but it really didn't feel anything like I had expected it to, it's not a cataclysmic or horrible feeling at all.  I gave up after a while and thought my technique was not good enough, but almost immediately I felt my breathing improve. About half an hour later I noticed the septum in my nose had straightened. My septum was quite badly deviated to one side before and could be clearly seen out of one nostril. I am not kidding when I say after 5 sessions it is probably the straightest it has ever been!

In the attempts since I have heard some of the cracking/tendon crushing sounds but these are quite subtle, like you get during a common cold or when swimming under deep water. Afterwards, I feel very relaxed like I've just had a full body massage, kind of spacey and tension free... My pelvis, spine and shoulder all feel much better already. A few minor headaches have come and gone but nothing awful like I expected.  I feel very dehydrated after five days of working it and have been drinking water constantly. Changes to diet are VERY important during a treatment, I've been eating reasonably wholesomely, but it really requires a better level of commitment to work very well (have had cravings for sweets). Have had some mild cold/flu symptoms but these are not really noticeable compared to how much better I feel. Changes in the shape of my skull and eyes are already very noticeable.

Hi! I cannot wait to try some of those natural herbs for hair. 

I wish I had heard of NCR 5 years ago when I had 2 premolars and wisdom teeth extracted followed by 5 years of ortho work.

I had a major spiritual wake up call in 2005 when I became chronically ill with Lyme infection and realized that no one in the main stream was really capable of helping me recover. Applied Kinesiology literally saved my life that year... Then the fun started I become a avid follower of Hulda Clarke and spent 2 years in **** detox mode, tried liver cleanses, herbal treatments, H2O2 therapy, ORMUS, electronic blood zapping, colonics, mega vitamin therapy, urine as medicine you name it, if it helped I tried it. It has ALL helped! So glad to meet more people online who know how to put their health into their own hands and be responsible for it.

Now my health is good again I see my skeletal problems are the last roadblock to fully living my life again, there are huge gains to be made via this therapy.
