BIG NEWS, BUT FIRST A REVIEW of the previous volume:

Weaknesses in the operating software for the new unit.   /// The 3 D routine took a bit of coaxing: /// The system demands any flash drive be 2 Gig or better. ///I had to install a one port to four port /// The function keys are a dream /// The gray scale gamma curves set. ///I redesigned my ultrasound dolly/table to allow for the extra components. ///The new addendum keyboard will allow me to print constant floating “titles”.  ////  I employed the M mode /new machine systems should be exercised in all functions and modes a bit to trigger all capabilities. /// The mysteries of accelerated healing are being slowly unwrapped.  healing is boosted 10X to 50X there is little excessive aching since the lymph drainage keeps pressures low.  I have not had a chance yet to try the new style Accel units on hard tissues such as ribs. /// Viewing a  spine before and after chiropractic adjustment is worth a dozen positive thinking seminars!  If doctors of chiropractic only fully realized what they do each day, there would be a different socio political scenario as they took a back seat to no one.

 

NOW THE BIG NEWS:  HISTOGRAMS!

A histogram capability is available in the new system that allows mathematical proof of efficacy for adjustments or therapies. 

How it works:  When the histogram function is chosen an aiming box comes up on screen.  A target is chosen with the box-like aiming graphic.  An instant graph is produced that mathematically represents the number of pixels  in each shade of gray.  There are 256 shades of gray, but any picture has a distribution from black to gray to white.  The histogram function charts out precisely what this distribution might be.  A more light picture is going to have more light gray to white dots (“pixels”).  Its graph will have a shift rightward (toward the white end of the chart). A more dark picture will have more dark gray to black pixels.  Its histogram graph will show a shift toward the left side of the chart.

 

For eighteen years I have been noting that dilation of blood vessels and lymph vessels results in acceleration of healing rates.  Ultrasound pictures get more light.  It makes some sense that osteoclasts and osteoblasts as well as adult stem cells all are BLOOD CELLS, thus TRAPPED in the blood vessels unless dilation of vessels occurs so these miracle worker blood cells can pop out of little doorways into the interstitial spaces and thus do some healing.  THIS IS THE FIRST MACHINE SYSTEM HOWEVER THAT CAN CONFIRM OR DENY MY IMPRESSION OF LIGHTENED IMAGES AS THE PIN HEAD VESSEL SIGNS DILATE.

A.   All the machine parameters are printed on screen, thus amplification, gamma, frequency, depth, width, and special functions can be certified as NOT CHANGED from image to image.  A certified pre therapy image can be obtained, then after therapy a certified post therapy image can be obtained.   

 

B.   Histograms of selected targets pre and post can confirm or deny lightening (dilations) or no changes.  My favorite targets are either nerve roots, or facets.  I simply take the aim box and place it precisely over the desired target, pre, then post, and of course print the histograms with the pre and post pictures. Bingo, mathematical proof of change in tissue texture, change in dilation status, then clinical follow-up to confirm certified and assured accelerated healing.
