Heal the Nervous System
In all neurological issues, including injuries, it is vital that the adrenal glands be enhanced along with the rest of the endocrine gland system. It is also vital to live on a 100 percent raw food diet. I had a forty-year-old female brought to me one time with advanced multiple sclerosis. They brought her lying on a stretcher, completely rigid. After three months on a fruit diet she could sit up, feed herself, and even mobilize her own wheelchair. Since she was so thin and small I needed to encourage her body to produce more muscle tissue, so I started her on vegetable juices and salads, as these foods are full of amino acids. Guess what? She lost her mobility temporarily. Why? The answer can be found in the difference between the electrical charge of a fruit versus that of a vegetable. When I put her on a diet of fruits alone she began to regain strength. The power that raw foods have to revitalize the physical body is almost unlimited. I’ve seen the body pull itself back from some pretty precarious edges. It took a while for this young lady to regenerate herself, but with such a degenerative condition it would naturally take a significant time to turn the body around. A predominately fruit diet was essential to maintain nerve response. (Dr. Morse, Detox Miracle Sourcebook)
Every physical organ has a representative motor center in the brain to sustain its function. Every organ of perception has its reception center in the brain to receive and respond to experience. Nerves with cell bodies, or dendrites, in the hypothalamus connect with both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems in the brainstem and spinal cord, regulating and coordinating the autonomic functions of all physical organs. Nerves of the cortex are connected to the thalamus and hypothalamus so that every thought and every feeling influences the functioning of every cell in the body. When we do not feed the brain and nervous system correctly, when we abuse it with stress and strain, or deprive it of beauty, rest and recreation, not only do portions of the nervous system breakdown, but certain mental functions and faculties breakdown also. Every organ is affected, but the inherently weak organs are more susceptible to stress. We cannot afford to burnout or deplete the nerves. Our health depends on the brain and nervous system more than anything else, and we must make sure that it is nourished at the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. (Bernard Jensen)
The nervous system represents the dynamic interface between our inner and outer worlds, constantly in a state of alchemizing into form the field of experience we know as reality. The nervous system transmits electrical impulses from one region of the body to another along specialized nerve cells called neurons. These impulses travel at lightning speed to and from our senses in order to affect homeostasis and survival. Along with maintaining basic survival it also gives us the ability to perceive subtle differences in light, color, sound, and touch.
The nervous system also plays an important part with the endocrine system. In this role of chemical regulation, substances called hormones are produced by well-defined groups of cells and are either diffused or carried by the blood to other areas of the body where they act on target cells and influence metabolism or induce synthesis of other substances. The changes resulting from hormonal action are expressed as influences on, or alterations in, form, growth, reproduction, and behavior.

The brain and nerves comprise a brilliant communication system known as the Nervous System – nerve fibers carry important messages back and forth between your body and your brain. That network has two parts: The brain and the spinal cord, which combine to form the Central Nervous System; and the sensory and motor nerves, which form the Peripheral Nervous System.
Everything your body does is connected in some way to your nervous system. It tells your heart to beat. It tells your lungs to breath. It controls the way you move, the words you say, and how you think and learn. It also controls your senses and memories. The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. These tissues consist of gray and white matter. The white matter transmits impulses throughout the CNS. The brain is made up of nerve tissue and is contained within the cranial cavity of the cranium. It has three parts to it: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and the brainstem. There are five lobes that make up these three parts. These five lobes are the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal and the insular. The brain and spinal cord are the centers of communication, regulation, coordination and sensory evaluation of the body.
The Autonomic Nervous System is self-controlling (somewhat automatic) or independent of our outward consciousness. It controls the involuntary bodily functions.
There are two branches:
Sympathetic Nervous System: The sympathetic nervous system is called the thoracolumbar division as it relates to the thoracic and lumbar regions of the body. The sympathetic nervous system dominates during stressful situations. It causes the fight-or-flight sensation in the presence of fear and danger.
Parasympathetic Nervous System: The parasympathetic nervous system is called the craniosacral division, as it relates to the cranial and sacral spine regions (upper spine and brain). The parasympathetic nervous system dominates during non-stressful times.
Sympathetic Impulses Affect: (Fight-or-flight response) vasodilatation in skeletal muscle, vasoconstriction in the skin, increase of heart rate and force, dilation of bronchioles, stimulation of liver to change glycogen to glucose, activation of sweat glands, decrease in peristalsis and intestinal secretions, dilation of pupils, increase in thickness of saliva from salivary glands, creation of goose flesh (hair stands on end), slowing of the digestive process, release of norepinephrine.
Parasympathetic Impulses Affect: slowing of a fast (tachycardia) heart rate, normalization of bronchioles, increase of peristalsis and normalization of digestive juices, constriction of the pupils, normalization of urinary function, release acetylcholine as a transmitter.

Fruit has properties that soothe your adrenal glands, strengthen your entire endocrine system, repair your vascular system, restore your liver, and revitalize your brain. There is no other food—and no pill—that enhances so many of your bodily functions as fruit. Fruit keeps your body going in ways that science hasn’t even begun to fully understand. It’s an absolute necessity. You can’t function as a human being without glucose, the simple sugar into which your body breaks down foods. Glucose fuels your brain, your nervous system, and the cells throughout your body. (Anthony William - Medical Medium)
The truth is your body never attacks itself. Your immune system can become burdened or weakened by various factors, but it doesn’t ever turn on you. In the case of neurological autoimmune conditions, what’s happening is a virus is feeding on its favorite foods, including toxic heavy metals, like mercury, copper and aluminum; eggs, dairy, corn and gluten; pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Unknown to medical research and science, a virus is a living thing and it needs to eat to survive. This is some of the information I delivered that medical communities are only beginning to consider. One of the by-products a virus creates and eliminates after it feeds on these foods is what I call a neurotoxin. These neurotoxins inflame the nervous systems of anyone dealing with autoimmune symptoms and that’s what causes neurological symptoms. Medical research and science are unaware of these viral neurotoxins.

Rudolf Steiner Chalkboard Drawing
The nerve system is the only system that has no connection whatever with soul and spirit. Blood, muscles, and so on always have a direct connection with soul and spirit. That is the peculiar thing about it. In psychology and physiology you find the following put forward; the organ that acts as a medium for sensation, thinking and the whole soul and spirit element, is the nerve system. But how does it come to be this medium? Only by continually expelling itself from life, so that it does not offer any obstacles to thinking and sensation, forms no connections with thinking and sensation, and in that place where it is it leaves the human being “empty” in favour of the soul and spirit, Actually there are hollow spaces for the spirit and soul where the nerves are. Therefore spirit and soul can enter in where these hollow spaces are. Rudolf Steiner (1919; GA0293) The Study of Man.
Chronic Pain
Chiropractic Adjustments:
Chiropractic adjustments can be beneficial in the case of misalignment in the cervical spine. Located at the top of the spine are the C1 and C2 vertebrae which protect the brainstem from damage. Once a misalignment in these bones occurs, the brainstem can get strained and cause the faulty sending of signals to the brain. For instance, it may relay incorrect messages about the intensity of pain the body is experiencing, leading to symptoms of fibromyalgia or chronic pain.

Botanical Allies of The Nervous System
"Nervines are herbs that specifically help support the nervous system. Their varieties include tonics like organic skullcap and stronger relaxants like valerian root. They are used to help relieve normal muscle tension, circular thoughts, wakeful nights, and the occasional worry we all experience from time to time. Some of these herbs provide multiple nervine actions. Skullcap is one such herb: it helps reduce muscle tension, calm worried thoughts, and also nourishes the nervous system." (Mountain Rose Herbs)
Common Nervines:
Common Nervines:
- Oat tops - Very gentle tonic herb that helps support the nervous system without a perceptibly calming action. Can help reduce fatigue and support nerve functioning over time. Great for anyone who is overworked or relies on caffeine to get through the day.
- Skullcap - Wonderfully gentle and nourishing to the nervous system. Helps relieve occasional tension and stress, circular thoughts, and nervousness. Can be used throughout the day during stressful situations or at night before bed to calm worried thoughts. (Click here for Skullcap plant profile / materia medica)
- Chamomile - A classic, relaxing nighttime tea, this nervine herb is also helpful for relieving mild daily mental stress. (Click here for Chamomile plant profile / materia medica)
- Lavender - Calming herb that is often used in aromatherapy applications for its mild calming action. Lovely when used in the bath, massage oils, pillows, room sprays, or body fragrance to uplift the spirit.
- Lemon balm - Sunshine in plant form, this herb helps with nervous exhaustion, gloom, and restlessness while also providing pure aromatic pleasure. Simply rubbing a leaf between your fingers and smelling its citrusy oils can elevate the mood.
- Catnip - Gentle, calming herb for sleeplessness in children and the elderly.
- California poppy - Used for its calming properties, this plant helps promote relaxation in those seeking rest.
- Passionflower - This stunning plant is helpful for relieving general tension, occasional nervous restlessness, and supporting restful sleep.
- Hops - With a distinctive flavor and action known well by beer drinkers everywhere, this plant supports relaxation (although the effect can be considered hypnotic) and helps calm a nervous stomach.
- Valerian - When sleep seems impossible thanks to nervous energy at night, this potent herb can support relaxation for many busy-brained folks. For some people, however, valerian can have the opposite effect of relaxation, causing more anxiety and stimulation, so if this happens to you, we recommend seeking another herbal ally.

The Nervous System as Seen in The Iris
Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) We are constantly bombarded by stimuli (climate, weather, people, events, work, etc). Our interest and response is determined by the ability of the SNS to deal with this stimulation. Young babies and children who are learning about the world and who enjoy full interaction every waking moment exist for a few years in sympathetic dominance. As long as they can cut off and enjoy deep sleep and rest they will remain balanced, but if not they become hyperactive. If the overactivity continues for too long they run the risk of exhaustion, adrenal weakness and hypoactivity. A white ANW indicates hyperactivity and degrees of exhaustion and hypoactivity are determined by ever darkening shades of yellow, orange, and brown in bIue eyes. It is harder to read this in brown eyes, but pupil size also reveals valuable information on the condition of the SNS. The SNS as revealed in the irides consists of the Adrenals, Nerve Rings, Pupil Size, Zig-Zag Fibers, Ciliary Fringe, the ANW and Radii Solaris which break through the ANW. (Sharan)
