Physiology Parasympathetic nervous system HR, pulse, BP; pupil dilation; increase blood flow to
muscles
Tissue systems Nervous; Muscular; Endocrine
Neurochemicals Adrenaline; noradrenaline Cortisol

How do we modulate Internal Factors?
Direct Block physiologic changes
beta- and alpha-blocking medications
raise/lower neurotransmitters
thyroid replacement/blocker
Carotid massage
Indirect Hormones Messages from CNS

Developing a strategy
Assessment of primary and secondary symptoms Careful understanding of meaning and etiology
of Sx. Individual strengths, weaknesses, preferences What are local resources? Using modalities long enough to have an effect
Too short to have effect is not a trial Too long is an unbroken habit
Re-examine change/progress at regular intervals
