Our most famous therapy is NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR). When a young Dr. Howell asked, “How do symmetrically-applied cranial therapies correct cranial asymmetries?” The answer grew into the NCR technique, which serially releases cranial connective-tissue imbalances.
This means that the NCR treatments have results that accumulate. Your improvements are made at a speed that your body can retain. Forty years ago, Dr. Howell discovered that the spinal manipulation and cranial manipulation techniques that he had been taught did not work as advertised. Treatments were designed to give relief, and long-term correction waas often not possible. After much thought and experimentation, he developed NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR) in 995. Its unifying concept is that asymmetry of the musculoskeletal system leads to stability patterns that cause malfunctioning and pain, and will not go away with routine treatments. Instead, the asymmetry must be treated in a manner that the gravitational stability of the body is improved. Only then can the benefits of treatment be retained.
Dr. Howell stresses that asymmetrical skeletal patterns cannot be treated by symmetrical therapies. At the end of the treatment, he teaches, the gravitational stability of the patient must be significantly better than before treatment, or the old “before” pattern will return. The nervous system must be much more stable and symmetrically housed (by the skeleton) or the system reverts.
Perhaps you have had physical medicine treatments such as massage and manipulations fail to have lasting results? That’s what we are talking about! At the end of each day’s treatment, whatever the treatment, you must be more symmetrical and gravitationally stable. Only then will you retain the treatment benefits.Regardless of the sense of euphoria, the freedom of movement, release of pain–the position, the posture, the stance, the “any way you want to measure it”–stability is the kingpin. It always wins out. NCR addresses this. Do the other therapies you utilize address this problem? If not, then it is time to change!
The key, then, is to optimize symmetry and stability simultaneously. NeuroCranial Restructuring is Dr. Howell’s answer for this.
NCR is best performed for adults in sequences of four-day treatment series. We can schedule shorter treatment series, even for one day, but the results cannot accumulate when performed as single treatments. And the results are not as reliable. NCR Treatments last 30-minutes for adolescents and adults, 20 minutes for children, and 10 -minutes for babies and toddlers.
NCR is a primary treatment modality for sinusitis, some kinds of headaches, breathing disorders, and eye disorders. Of course, Dr. Howell and Rebecca will treat more than that in a 30-minute session: Dr. Howell did not offer sessions over 30 minutes during his first 30 years of practice! People will report great improvements in head, neck, jaw, and back pain from NCR. Even some milder cases of sciatica and nerve impingements will often be improved with NCR.
But he discovered (and Rebecca already knew) that sometimes people don’t get long-term relief from NCR because their body problems are more extensive, especially when there is scar tissue and soft-tissue adhesions that have become significant contributors to the musculoskeletal problems and pain.
Then Dr. Howell and Rebecca recommend longer treatments where they focus on melting and releasing scar tissue and adhesions in addition to the NCR methods they have always utilized.
They call this method “Howelling.” For this, we extend the treatment sessions from 60 to 240 minutes. We have great testimonials that you can talk with others who have undergone this. Their stories of surgical rebuilding and auto accidents are harrowing. It is so wonderful that they can share their success stories with you!

Our most famous therapy is NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR). When a young Dr. Howell asked, “How do symmetrically-applied cranial therapies correct cranial asymmetries?” The answer grew into the NCR technique, which sequentially releases cranial connective-tissue imbalances.
This means that the NCR treatments have results that incrementally accumulate. Your improvements are made at a speed that your body can retain. You will not revert to your previous alignment. You will be somewhat better, and it will last.

An essential part of our services is something that we can;t quantify–how do we place money values on healing? When we work with our hands on your body, we must look inside ourselves to link to God’s healing forces. For us, it can be both a physically painful yet uplifting experience. For you, it will be our gift to you when it occurs during the course of our treatments.
So for the time that Dr Howell and Rev Rebecca spend with you, they get $600 an hour. This includes point-holding techniques like Body Electronics and TKM, as well as the NCR and Howelling methods. Rev Rebecca’s techniques have saved lives, but they are very subtle, requiring no pressure or hand strength. They are often painful, though.
There are other skills they have that are more difficult to place financial costs. Both of them, especially Rev. Rebecca, also hear internal psychic/intuitive guidance regarding your physical state.
Rebecca has done this with great skill and results for many years. She used to have a health food store in Brooklyn, and her loyal customers became used to her unique ways of making up their therapy protocols. They came to her and she told them what was wrong, what to buy, and what to do. And it worked. She was well-known for that in Brooklyn.
Now you can have an online health food store with products that work and a psychic minister to advise you of your diagnosis, prescriptions, and how to use them.
Rev Rebecca’s work is pretty amazing.
Is it free?
Well….almost. Give us $300. Once. That’s it. Rev Rebecca shares this information with you–forever–if you keep having us ship you the perfect (often customized) healing agent.
Our prices are competitive, too. And some of our stuff you would not be able to find anywhere. We think it’s the best deal on the planet!
When Dr. Howell was a young medical student, he treated a middle-aged woman for low back pain, and, at first, the pains were in the “bellies” of her large back muscles. As he worked more deeply, he felt tension patterns and lumps in the fibers of the tendons of the muscles. His teacher remarked that working out those lumps and bumps in the tendon was called Rolfing.He didn’t think about it much at the time. Instead he enjoyed the praise the woman heaped on him for working those knots out!
Over the years, Dr. Howell kept working on his treatment methods to make them give lasting results for ever increasing levels of success. The first ten or fifteen years, the structural approaches to musculoskeletal corrections worked well. Then treatments seemed to stop improving more—his level of success stopped improving, and stable predictable results became the norm.
There was a core group in the practice who did not get enough better—they could stop getting treatments. They really didn’t heal. This was especially true of people who had surgically reconstructed body parts, extensive scars, adhesions, etc. He wondered what could be done for them?
The problem was that working the muscle and bone positions with massage and manipulations didn’t change the tendons and ligaments that had lumps and bumps left over from the injuries. Even the Rolfing didn’t help with those.
Whenever Dr. Howell gets stuck and frustrated with his work, he meditates or prays, asking for help to create a solution. Sometimes he gets answers. This is how he has developed many diagnostic and treatment methods–by being quiet and listening to messages from within.
He has been practicing for nearly forty years. Sometime recently Dr. Howell was led to work—not on the ligament and tendons of a man with a club foot—but on the periosteum (the bone coating) that becomes the ligament or tendon. When there is a strain or sprain, the pulling on the connective tissues of the ligament or tendon pulls some of the periosteum off the bone.
When normal healing occurs, the tissues usually heal flat and smooth, like wallpaper glued properly on the wall. These special, troubled people had scarring in the periosteum, and this leads to problems.
The people that Dr. Howell found with these periosteal problems were his most chronic, desperate people, with terrible pains and chronic joint problems. His wonderful discovery was to find out that treating these lumps and bumps gave these people relief and long lasting results. Somebody made a joke that this wasn’t “Healing,” it was “Howelling”—and the name stuck.
The concept that needs to be understood here is that the old scars and adhesions prevent normal function of the muscles, tendons, ligaments,and nerves. Howelling is the method of melting the scars and adhesions to allow the damaged tissues to regrow normally. It works best to schedule Howelling in one- or two-hour sessions. Some people will get four hours of Howelling in a day, but Dr. Howell needs a 30-minute break between two-hour Howelling sessions.
Everybody wants to be able to move freely, without encumbrance.There are lucky people who can do this. Many of them are young people. The rest of us suffer varying degrees of infirmities. For most of us, this involves cracking and popping, stretching, bending, and exercising to help us to be better for the day. We try to get our bodies evened out, developing more symmetry in the alignment of our muscles and bones. That's the appealing aspect of many bodywork and manipulation techniques—they develop symmetry in your body. When you utilize chiropractic, osteopathy, Thai yoga massage, or many other techniques, they all work to develop symmetry in body alignment patterns—in order to have lasting benefits.
When I had spinal manipulation treatments from doctors in the 1970s and 1980s, I have had perhaps a hundred different methods of changing spinal alignment patterns. Few of the treatment sessions were actually successful in changing my alignment patterns. These successes were usually after skeletal mishaps and injuries had left me feeling worse than my ongoing, chronic patterns did.
As far as my training went, I just learned many different styles of treatment. It wasn’t quite like the selections were random, but no method seemed to always work. One treatment would often work, so I just tried them all.
Then, one day a woman made a remark after treatment that struck me. She said, “I feel as if I am planted on the Earth!” And when I pushed her sideways on her shoulder, she was very stable. I had seen this before.
REALIZATION. When people were very stable standing after a treatment, AND they were more symmetrically aligned, then they had long-term improvement in their symmetry, functioning, and decreases in pain and movement problems.
I discovered this in the early 1990s. At first, I thought that the best correction of these patterns in the body was to release the most asymmetrically-aligned cranial joints. This triggers the pent-up tension in the connective tissues to unwind,creating significant cranial changes. When this is done right, cranial trauma patterns leave the skull and asymmetries lessen. This creates improvement in the mechanical movements of the skull. The improved symmetry and the improved motions combine to gradually optimize nervous system functions.
This early treatment method is called NeuroCranial Restructuring. The essential concepts are simple and straight-forward. Because I failed to patent my manipulation concepts before lecturing about asymmetrical treatment techniques of cranial asymmetry, now I can’t control the claiming of my cranial method concepts as original work “belonging” to these students. So my successes and teachings have been spread widely, uncredited. My e-students call my work FCR, NCRT, CRT, ABC, and probably more..
So the NCR essential treatment, the administration of an endonasal balloon, is a wonderful finishing tool that can be used at the end of many different treatments. The basics of the method can be taught in four days. I have done this many times. These first four days are mine to program you. I want to show you how the body integrates the spatial response to gravity with the musculoskeletal system. By noting the linkages between structural asymmetry with the loss of stability, we can release the sphenoid joints in six different directions, with an instrument that is very pliable and can either be gently or forcibly administered.
The original endonasal therapies, dating back to the 1930s, were administered thoroughly and symmetrically. Treatment patterns themselves were never changed. Clinically, the greater complexity of cranial distortion patterns became evident, and specific treatment patterns can be utilized to release cranial patterns that resemble grain patterns in woods. Releasing these stuck cranial suture patterns allows the tensions of the connective tissues to unwind. As these changes trigger the deep structures of the skull to morph, the body continues to improve its gravitational stability patterns, gradually locking these changes into permanence.
The body requires gravitational stability, and it prefers anatomical symmetry. With the NeuroCranial Restructuring utilized as the ending of structural treatments, the enhanced stability and optimized structures that it delivers allows your treatments of this day to be retained and fully utilized by the body because you have incorporated a stable improvement of the patterns of the body’s symmetry.
During the first four days of the NCR Course, I will talk to you about these concepts—a lot. Your understanding of the way that treatments integrate with body structures is my primary goal. You could eventually figure everything else out if you understand the concepts.
And then we will show you how to perform all of the essential skills to set up endonasal equipment, how to insert the instrument into the three sets of passageways between the nostrils and the throat, how to position the patient, how to hold the inflating instrument in your hand, how to support the head with your other hand, and how to inflate the endonasal balloon with its inflation bulb.
It became obvious that nobody can perform treatments like this without undergoing the treatment themselves. I hope that you are already receiving NCR treatments because I want for you to become symmetrical, and few treatments will offer symmetry as a benefit. For 4 days, though, we will treat you. Derek and I will divide the endonasal balloon inflation duties, and Derek, Rebecca, and I will share in the bodywork sessions on all of the students.
In the past, there have been doctor-students who have only had their required NCR treatments during their training class with me, and then never had another treatment! That showed me that I had failed them as a teacher. Everybody needs to become optimally functional. Asymmetry is the primary causation of all nervous system and musculoskeletal malfunctions. We all need treatment for our maladies. A doctor must take care of him or herself. If not before, then that will begin with the NCR Course.
Undoubtedly, Rebecca and I will be talking with you about the importance of eating a ketogenic diet, removing your heavy metals, and killing off your yeast, fungi, and parasites—because you should be doing this, too! Then, the last four days of the course, you will be treating three volunteers for 4 days with the NCR techniques you have learned the first four days. We advertise for volunteers to come to Carlsbad for the four days. We initially charge them $300 for the four days’ treatment, and we return $100 to them on Day 4. This is because volunteers often do not appreciate the importance of their attendance in your learning process. It is even better if you bring volunteers with you, and we reduce your Course costs to encourage you to bring your own treatment volunteers.
The scheduling of the volunteers the last four days is very important for you. We need to spread them out across the day so that you can recover between the treatment sessions. These three patients are those for whom you are the primary therapist. You will be assisting with at least three others each day, as well. Other students’ successes and failures are learning experiences for you, so your attendance all day is required.
All imaging taken of the volunteers belongs to everyone in the Course. You can show others of the amazing things you witness with us.
