THE INSTITUTE OF APPLIED NEUROGENICS

The Institute of Applied Neurogenics is an educational institution dedicated to producing the highest quality innovative educational programs possible with a focus on healing, personal awareness and the environment.

The Abdominal Brain (Davis Reflexes) DNA Series

The origins of the Basic Abdominal Brain Series come from the pioneering work of Dr Terence Bennett and his development of neurovascular dynamics. This system, backed up by over 45 years of clinical use, shows that touch contact on specific areas of the body can produce changes in blood and lymphatic flow affecting all the cells.

Dr Floyd Davis DC, was a student and colleague of Dr Bennett further advanced the neurovascular dynamics techniques over the last 50 years to include the ganglia of the autonomic nervous system, cerebrospinal fluid flow and their effects on cellular information systems, vascular dynamics, and physiological processes in general.

Richard and Shanti Duree developed the Abdominal Brain - DNA - (Davis-Duree Reflexes ) after Dr Davis bequeathed his system and records to the Institute of Applied Neurogenics to continue his work. After extensive research with Dr Davis, Richard and Shanti Duree integrated Dr Davis’ system with new developments in the area of mind/body interaction and advanced the techniques into a working specialized kinesiological system. When combined with the Applied Neurogenics style of learning it creates a unique mix of experience and information. People involved in health, Applied and Specialized Kinesiology, natural healing or their own healing process will find these programs especially intriguing. These programs are presented in a style that appeals to the lay person and health professional alike. Even though techniques are easily learned the Abdominal Brain - DNA - Series is not beginning entry level program and is recommended for people who are Specialized Kinesiologists, other health professionals or lay persons who are actively involved in their own personal healing.

The Abdominal Brain System balances the autonomic nervous system in relationship to the perception of sensory input. By normalizing sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system functions, we can change dis-ease patterns and alter responses to state-dependent memories. In DNA 1, the beginning workshop in the series, participants learn the basics of the Abdominal Brain - DNA - System, which has more than 45 years of use in clinical practice.

These programs are taught using the Applied Neurogenics Enhanced Learning System. This system uses a multi-sensory approach to education that facilitates the learning process by honoring the fact that different people have different learning styles and by focusing the information provided to match each style. Students find that they learn with little or no effort. Scientific lecture, experiential exercises, visualization and hands-on practice are blended to create an experience that imprints the information into the students’ memories. The workshops give participants a highly useful and effective system that they find satisfying.
