Hey, everybody, it's Dr. Sam, and I'd like to welcome you to Instagram Live. It's great to have you in today. And I've got several things I want to discuss. So I want to thank everybody for joining today I'm going to jump into the first question. We got several questions here. And so I thought I would consolidate them and just see if I could give you the answer. 01:42 So somebody's asking you a question about cranial sacral therapy. I know we have a number of cranial sacral therapists in the community. I talk a lot about the relationship between cranial sacral therapy and the stigmatism. So the question is Can cranial sacral therapy help increase blood flow to the eyes and improve eye health. It can do that and so much more. But if we want to keep it more into conversation about our eye health, all the bones here are orbital bones, our cheekbones, we've got our frontal bone, we even have a lacrimal bone and that ethmoid sinus here. All of those bones, support our eyes to be able to move and have good circulation. There's another magical bone behind the eyes called the sphenoid bone. And so when a cranial sacral therapist has you on the table, and he or she is feeling into the movement of the bones in the face, the jaw, and then up into the eye region. If there's a restriction, this is going to reduce circulation, and eventually can lead to oxidative stress and eye disease. There's also a membrane that wraps around the spinal cord called the dura and actually runs all the way up into the base of the cranium. And it's also wrapping itself around the optic nerve as the nerve Plexus where the retina is. And that dura also winds itself all the way to the white part of the eye called the sclera. So anytime you can create some movement and better circulation in the dura, you're going to have an indirect effect on improving eye health. Some other things that I've learned clinically in my own research is that people with double vision, sometimes they have a lock down in their cervical spine or in their occiput area and when you release either the cervical spine and or the occiput the double vision can reduce so there's a really big connection between our neck, our cervical spine and our cranium, as it affects our vision. And so if you've suffered things like traumatic brain injury, car accidents, Whiplash, you could be vulnerable to not only vision problems, but just to shut down in the overall overall circulation. And then finally, we've got three cranial nerves that innervate the eye muscles, cranial nerve three, four and six. And if there's a problem in how the cranial nerve is supporting the eye muscles, this can lead to conditions like strabismus,
