I would like to know your opinion on the safety of use of CST with a pt. with active demyelinating disease in the left frontal lobe, supratentorial, and infratentorial regions as well a the cervical spine ans optic neuritis. I am an OT treating a pt. with MS with the above MS exacerbations after recently suffering a miscarriage. I am concerned about safety and adverse effects but feel a trial of CST may be indicated. I would like your opinion. Thank you for any help you can give me!, Lori

Dear Lori,
Thank you for question regarding the use of CST with MS. First of all, what is your level of expertise and experience? In general, I believe that if you go lightly and truly listen to the inner wisdom of the patient , you cannot do any harm. However, be aware that in cases such as MS there is a very powerful somatoemotional component that has often been suppressed for many years. If you are uncomfortable with SER, I recommend that you either refer the patient out to a more experienced CST or be in close contact with me and perhaps I can help guide you along.
As a general rule, always be present, nonjudgmental, grounded, always follow the fascia and know at all times what the craniosacral rhythm is doing. Be aware of sudden stoppages (significance detectors) to help bring the patient to a deeper healing place.
Just to let you know, I have treated MS patients in the past with varying degrees of success. The most profound case was a woman in her 40’s who came to me with crutches. After a series of treatments, which delved into early childhood trauma, she felt much better and required only a cane to walk long distances. Several months later, I received a call from her. With tears of joy, she informed me that the doctors at the MS center in Houston could no longer find any trace of her MS and she
was walking fine. Spontaneous Healing? Miracle Cure? Misdiagnosed? Or just good CST?
She came to Israel several years later on a trip and visited me, no crutches and no looking back.
Best of Luck and keep in touch,
Stuart(Shmuel)
CHI is proud to announce the development of a Holistic Program in the treatment of cancer. This program combines the latest and most effective natural therapies together with a spiritually empowering approach.
The program brings together Shmuel Berger, PT who has for many years worked with terminally ill patients through CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release, and William Livingstone, ND, who is one of the foremost experts in Natural Therapies in the treatment of cancer and is presently lecturing on this subject at Natural Colleges in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Here is a Testimonial from one of our clients who experienced first hand the transformational effects of our treatment approach:
Having experienced cancer three times, I am acutely aware of the mind-body connection in the occurrence of the disease and in coping with the consequences either in recovery or even when recovery is not possible. After my last bout, which involved extensive surgery to my jaw, I decided to consult a CST and I found Shmuel. I walked into his clinic bent over and barely able to move. I walked out unassisted and managed the 15 minute walk home upright and elated. By the next day I was pretty much back to where I was (don’t expect too much the first time) but after five sessions I was literally a new person and I haven’t looked back. The combination of the manipulation and Shmuel’s ability to hear your body talk to him through his hands has been invaluable to me. If you are suffering from cancer or hopefully recovering a visit to Shmuel Berger may help you along your path.

Dear Mr.Berger,
I’ve been really wanting to thank you for all the amazing work you did for me/you aided me in doing for myself. If it wasn’t for you, it’s really scary to think where I would be emotionally and physically. It’s amazing what craniosacral therapy can do and I’m so grateful you were able to really help me!!
Thank you again and again for giving me my life back (actually, thank you for giving me the opportunity to have a life in the first place, since before I came to you I was never truly alive although I was going through the motions), I can never thank you enough!! Please continue to do the amazing work you do! I am in nursing school now in order to eventually become a Craniosacral Therapist (something you inspired me to become)!
P.H.
Two weeks ago, we brought Yair for 5 hours of a CranioSacral Intensive Program. If I had any reservations to continue with CST because we weren’t sure if it was still helping him, these 5 hours of treatment gave us the answer- within 2 weeks we received a new boy, thank God.
During these past 2 weeks, we have seen a change and development that we have been waiting and hoping for such a long time. For example, Yair finally goes up and down stairs by himself. We live on the third floor and until recently , I would have to lift Yair up and carry the weight of a 3 1/2 year old. Now suddenly, a miracle has taken place and without a struggle, he simply goes up and down stairs as if he’s been doing it his whole life.
Another very significant thing for me is that Yair started making eye contact and following things he throws. Before, he used to walk around and everything that he passed he would toss away and continue on. Suddenly, he throws something , watches and follows it until it lands.
In addition, Yair is playing much more. He has begun to initiate playing with his little brother. He now sits and plays for about a minute, which is alot more than just seconds he used to do. Also his eye contact has increased and is more social and focused.
Yair’s speech, rather his murmurings are broader, and even several times this week, Yair and I had a jibberish conversation together.
But the most significant change from my perspective is his going outside. Suddenly, Yair doesn’t run away from me, but walks a close distance from me, and looks back to check that I am nearby. There are occasional mixups, but it is nothing like the insane chasing after Yair that we had every time we went out with him.
Yair is now playing more at the park- he now approaches children and makes eye contact or tries to take away a toy or food from them. When the children run around, he joins them enthusistically. For the first time in his life he tried to climb the ladder at the park.
In general, he is more in this world, more interested in making contact and seems more mature and less infantile.
He responds much more quickly to what’s happening around him- he has begun to cry when he falls gets banged, responds quicker to sounds, and his reflexes are quicker.
Also, he has begun to broaden his requests that he wants from us. Until recently, all he asked for was juice or food. Now, he takes me to the door when he wants to go outside, or to the bookshelves or toy box. He is much more interested in what goes around him.

The CHI Institute brought together in August and October 2007 some of the finest CranioSacral Therapists in Israel for two Pediatric Intensive Programs at Kibbutz Ramat Rachel. The programs treated four children for 5 hours of multiple -hands on CranioSacral Therapy. The results of the Pediatric Program far exceeded all expectations, and we received so much positive feedback from all the parents. I want to take this opportunity to share with you some of the letters and comments we received.

Dear Shmuel and the team of therapists of CHI,
We just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the great help you have given our son, Ashriel.
As you know, we recently moved from Sederot to the Jerusalem area, mostly due to the effect the barrage of rocket attacks was having on Ashi. The rockets caused him to go into a state of panic, of shock, and sometimes he was so traumatized that he couldn’t move. At other times, he used to climb on our laps and shake uncontrolably for half an hour. He would refuse to eat, talk, or even move for long periods of time. Ashi was always delayed in his language development and social skills, but the stress caused him to regress and stifled his development even more.
By the time Daniel Tarlow contacted us and told us about your program, we had moved out of Sederot. Ashi’s language development was 3 years behind age level and his social development was not much better. Loud noises, popping tires and baloons, and any siren caused him to panic. We were searching for help from varied professionals; no advice was particularly helpful. Although we weren’t overly knowledgeable in cranio-sacral therapy, Mr. Tarlow was so kind and friendly, he convinced us there was no risk, and so we agreed to try it, even though, honestly, it sounded a bit weird.
After two full day sessions of CST, we immediately saw positive changes. Ashriel seemed significantly happier, much more relaxed, definitely more cooperative. Changes in routine, new places, and new sounds no longer caused him great stress. He became a bit more talkative and even began to interact a bit with some other children. His language has improved. And, mysteriously, when he is upset about something, he goes into a headstand, which calms him down. Maybe he is giving himself CST? Ashriel’s language has also boomed and he is now only 1.5 years behind age-level. He is enrolled in a special education preschool four days a week and attends the local preschool for mainstreaming another two days. While clearly lagging in linguistic and social skills, Ashriel seems to be significantly calmer, more easygoing, and more emotionally healthy than he was before your treatments.
Thank you very, very much for all of the warmth, kindness, and genuine help that you have given Ashi and, by extension, the entire Norin family. We only wish that our many brothers and sisters back in Sederot whose children also suffered as a result of the rocket attacks knew of and used your wonderful team of helpers.
May G-d soon bring a true, lasting peace to the middle east and make the world into a place where children do not have to live in the smoke of rocket fire, Until then, we are lucky that your team is able and ready to help.
Thank You Very Much.
Sincerely,
Avraham and Natasha Norin
