title: Facilitating survival and recovery by removing autogenic pathology from the clinical picture.
abstract: For the most part, the clinical picture is the expression of autogenic pathology and, unless the anatomical insult represents a major structural compromise, it contributes little to the clinical picture. Autogenic pathology created by the processing of peripheral neurological impulses altered by the presence of anatomical insults is created independently of the gravity of the anatomical insults. Even in the presence of a survivable insult, autogenic pathology is often fatal. Each successful resuscitation effort identifies a patient with a survivable insult who almost died before autogenic pathology was removed by cerebral anoxia, and/or electric shock. Similar patients who suffer terminal brain damage cannot be identified. Cardinal receptors furnish the embryo with its first neural contact with its environment. On completion of embryological migration, they occupy a position in the skin overlying the root of their spinal nerve. Cardinal receptors are functionally segmented to the specific distribution of their spinal nerve and use the stable neurological impulses from the skin to furnish the cadence by which peripheral impulses are processed and valued. Selected cardinal receptors may be specifically stimulated by saline infiltration that produces intradermal blebs in the skin overlying their spinal nerve's root. An augmented burst of infiltration pain immediately followed by symptomatic relief identifies monitoring cardinal receptors. The identification of monitoring receptors confirms the presence of pathology found within the specific distribution of their spinal nerve. Peripheral impulses processed within the cadence of highly stimulated cardinal receptors are assigned an insignificant value. Assigning an insignificant value to peripheral impulses altered by the presence of an anatomical insult removes autogenic pathology from the clinical picture. The immediate onset of profound symptomatic relief heralds the removal of autogenic pathology. Visceral pathology is monitored by bilateral pairs of cardinal receptors so it produces discomfort perceived without specific location information. Therefore, the specific visceral distribution has been discounted and is virtually unknown. However, when visceral pathology is correlated with bilateral pairs of monitoring cardinal receptors there are no patient variations.
