Therapeutic Insight: The Myofascial Release Perspective - The Map is Not the Territory!

by John F. Barnes, PT

We have been taught that sound and light are separate phenomenon. Is it possible that one
emanates from the other? To give you an example of how science's linear way of perceiving a non linear world has limited
us, I would like to paraphrase theoretician, John Stuart Reid 1. Who states that "all sounds have an electromagnetic component and that all electromagnetism is created as a consequence of
sound."; He explores the nature of sound and light and the special relationship that exists between these seemingly unrelated forms of energy.

If this is true, this represents a massive error made by science's ill informed effort to fragment phenomena and may have delayed important new discoveries. " The energetic phenomenon of
sound expands away from the epicenter as a bubble shaped emanation...The wave model is a purely graphical representation... The outdated, yet widely accepted model of sound depicted
as a "wave"; is incomplete because it proliferates the idea that sound's motion through a given medium is wave like".

The old scientific way of thinking in fragments mistakenly viewed sound and light as separate.
He goes on to say, "It is proposed that all electromagnetism in the cosmos is a consequence of sound. Put differently, electromagnetism would not exist without sound."

The following is a quote from Garth Whitcombe, LMT, " was fascinated by John's recent post on the Massage Magazine Blog, particularly, the information from Carol Davis regarding the glia
in the brain: "Previously thought only to provide support and nut ritional pathways to nerve, the latest brain scan research indicates glial cells "light up" during certain brain states, particularly
emotional states. They have been shown also to play a role in regulating neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, thus thought to play a role in helping to regulate mood." (Therapeutic
Insight: The Myofascial Release Perspective – 50 Years Ago)

I have been researching how music is processed in the human brain and the possibility that some kind of parallel "circuitry" exists might help explain how the experience of intuitive and near instantaneous communication can happen in musical performance that transcends regular motor function in both speed of function and emotional fulfillment. A mere 15% of the cells in our brain are neurons. The rest of the brain cells are called glia,
and up until recently have been regarded as packing material. (Sound familiar?)

"Scientist's understanding of the brain has been shaken to the foundation by the discovery that these cells not only sense electrical activity flowing through neural circuits - they can
control it." - The Other Brain, R. Douglas Fields PhD.

From time to time a scientific discovery reminds us that what we thought we knew about a subject was only a perspective or limited view. We might call this an aha moment. The aha moment for fascia is right around the corner.

"While the sinusoidal representation of a pure sound tone is correct in the mathematical and graphic sense, it does not accurately depict how sound actually moves through gases, fluids and solids. "

Confusing graphs, mathematical formulas and therapeutic protocols with reality has caused many people to erroneously view humans as two dimensional, linear objects. The map is not
the territory! Our bodies are over 70% fluid. The fascia is the container of and transport medium of the fluid in our body. The fluidity of the fascia! system is also the transport medium for the vibrations of sound and light to flow for cellular communication.

Trauma, surgery, thwarted inflammatory
responses and unresolved emotional trauma tend to dehydrate the fluidity of the fascial system blocking the important transmission of light/sound for proper physiological function.
These two interrelated phenomena, sound/light travel through the fluidity of the microtubules of the fascial system carrying important information and energy to the cellular level. Myofascial Release returns reason and effectiveness to healthcare.

Therapeutic Insight: The Myofascial Release Perspective Frequency, Urgency and/or Incontinence

by John F. Barnes, P.T., L.M.T., N.C.T.M.B.

You have probably seen the TV ad that starts out with a loud, menacing voice screaming, Overactive bladder! The ad then goes on to extol the merits of a drug that will dry up everything you have. The screen then changes to a girl in a white pinafore skipping merrily through a field of daisies with joyful music playing. The music and visuals are distracting us from the soft voice listing contraindications and possible side effects possible high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, dizziness, fatigue, extreme nausea and thoughts of su***de, etc.

This sad and deceptive scenario plays again and again. It also is an example of the flawed perspective of science, only looking for and treating the superficial effects, otherwise known as symptoms.
Science hasn't paid much attention to the environment of every organ, duct, blood vessel,nerve and cell, the fascia! system. All of our organs are fascia! structures that ideally arecapable of expanding and contracting. As you know, the bladder is a hollow organ that should
be capable of expanding and contracting to hold fluid (urine) for a prolonged period of time.

Fascial restrictions from trauma, scars and/or the delivery process can exert crushing pressure upon the bladder, creating the symptoms of frequency, urgency and/or incontinence. Many times fascial restrictions will adhere to the bladder and the urethral areas and create
an environment for infection, since fascial restrictions impede proper elimination of toxins and waste products from tissues. If the fascia tightens around the bladder, it can limit the
bladder's potential to enlarge sufficiently, creating the need to urinate frequently or painfully. When a woman coughs, sneezes or laughs, urine will tend to seep out since there is no give tothe bladder.
Inflammatory processes, such as endometriosis, can cause the fascial layers to adhere to adjoining tissue, creating pain and symptoms.
Scars from abdominal/pelvic surgery, trauma or episiotomy scars can also create havoc in the pelvic area, causing menstrual dysfunction, pelvic pain, painful in*******se, constipation, diarrhea and/or hemorrhoids. Recent statistics have shown hysterectomies
are performed, on average, every 45 seconds in the U.S., and it has been determined that more than half a million of these procedures a year are deemed unnecessary.

Another common problem we encounter is coccygeal disorders from trauma, pelvic torsion and childbirth. A misaligned coccyx can cause a multitude of problems in the pelvic area, including some of those just mentioned, as well as back and neck pain, and/or headaches
due to the influence of the dural tube. When the coccyx moves closer to the p***c symphysis, the musculoaponeurotic fibers from the p***s to the coccyx become so slack, they lose their tonus. If the origin and insertion of a muscle move closer together, a great
portion of the muscle's power is lost. Typical symptoms of a sacrococcygeal lesion in a female client are the inability to sit for long periods of time, declining quality of sexual relationships and cystitis ... the coccyx can lead to a general decrease in the motility of the
entire body, and it should be checked in people who are devitalized or suffering from general depression.

Myofascial release has helped many women with menstrual and premenstrual syndrome symptoms. Just picture the fascia tightening like a powerful three-dimensional net around the pelvic structures. Then as the woman begins to bloat as her menstrual cycle begins, the
combination of fascial tightness and increasing internal pressure begins to exert heavy pressure on nerves, blood vessels, etc., and the cramps begin, the back tightens and all the other unpleasant effects are a reaction to the abnormal internal pressure.

Myofascial Release can treat the unpleasant and/or painful symptoms of pregnancy and childbirth, recurrent bladder pain and infection, frequency, urgency and/or incontinence, painful in*******se, sexual dysfunction, elimination problems, coccygeal pain, painful
episiotomy scars and the list goes on. These problems can, in many cases, be substantially alleviated or eliminated by myofascial release, nontraumatically and gently.

The nontraumatic, gentle nature of myofascial release is reassuring to clients, since these effective procedures will not worsen the client's symptoms or cause harm. Myofascial release is not meant to replace the important techniques and approaches you currently utilize, but to act as an important added dimension for increasing your
effectiveness and permanency of results in relieving pain and restoring function, as well as the quantity and quality of motion.

Sincerely,
John

Therapeutic Insight: You Are Not An Object
by John F. Barnes, PT

I have been a featured speaker at the American Back Society& #39;s Symposiums for over 25 years. The American Back Society is a large group of our country's leading orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, osteopaths, therapists, chiropractors, and TMJ specialists interested in leading edge techniques. At each of my Myofascial Release lectures, I attempt to broaden these physicians'; focus to look beyond the symptom for the cause. I remind them that "a diagnosis is just a myopic description of a
symptomatic complex."

Symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg of a much deeper and complex problem. In every one of my Myofascial Release seminars, I emphasize, "Find the pain, look elsewhere for the cause!" Rarely are symptoms anywhere close to the real cause, the fascial restrictions. The physician's training, as ours, considered the body as an object. We were taught logical techniques for an illogical body. We were taught linear techniques for a non-linear system.
You and I were taught protocols, routines, formulas, that are "one size fits all" and yet in therapy that is what is called individualized care. For every diagnosis and symptomatic complex there are billions of possible fascial restrictions that can cause the effects we label as symptoms.

The narrowly focused reductionist theory told us that we were just mindless, linear objects. We then were taught techniques based on this erroneous view of the human that only produced temporary
results for a couple of hours to a couple of days. This is too low of a standard and we must and can do better.

Instead, our myofascial system is a three dimensional, non-linear system that requires a whole array of different principles and techniques to be successful.

There is a fascinating DVD that has just been produced in France that dramatically shows our 3-dimensional non-linear fascial system called "Strolling Under the Skin." This incredible new DVD
represents over 30 years of research on the "fascia! system" by surgeon and researcher, Dr. Jean
Claude Guimberteau, M.D.

It is amazing to be able to see what we have been feeling under our hands with Myofascial Release; tensegrity, mechanotransduction and the fiber-optic aspect of the fascial system in action, the fluidity of the fascia! system and liquid flowing through the microtubules. This amazing visual helps us understand
the nodal points actually moving when pressure was applied and the changes in the hydrostatic pressure!

SEEING IS BELIEVING!

This fascinating DVD contains some of the most vivid images of a living person& #39;s fascia ever developed
and it supports the important information that I have been teaching for over 30 years.

Therapeutic Insight: The Myofascial Release Perspective
Piezoelectric Transformation
by John F. Barnes, P. T., L.M. T., N.C. T.M.B.

The traditional paradigm states that consciousness is only an accidental artifact of the biochemistry of the brain. Our model of reality is deepening and expanding with the help of new scientific electronic microscopes and sophisticated techniques.
My experience has been that consciousness infuses our entire being. For years, I have taught that fascia on the microscopic level is actually a three-dimensional web of tiny, hollow tubules filled with fluid carrying information. This information in the
form of thermal, electromagnetic and mechanical energy is transmitted to all aspects of the mind-body complex via myofascial release for healing on the deepest levels.

The old way of observing this phenomenon was to try to break everything down into its lowest common denominator; the reductionist model. Until recently, there have been few experiments set up to observe the living system. Biology has a long
tradition of fixing, pinning, clamping, pressing, pulping, homogenizing, extracting and fractioning. This, unfortunately, gave us a limited and distorted understanding of the interrelationships of the whole living system.

Cellular consciousness

Has an understanding of consciousness eluded brain researchers because they limited their focus to the brain?
A major international conference was recently held in Cambridge, England, titled,Beyond the Brain: New Avenues in Consciousness Research. Speakers included many of the world';s most eminent theorists of consciousness experience, including Nobel laureate physicist Brian Josephson, neurologist Stuart Harnernoff, psychiatrist Stanislav Grof, evolutionary scientist Ervin Laszlo and psychologist Charles Tart. The conclusion of the conference was there is evidence of a shift away from the premise that consciousness is a mere byproduct of brain processes.
Science is in the throws of a deep-seated revolution. When you look at evidence that the mind is not confined to the skull, you automatically expand the horizons of research. Many people now realize the ways in which we have been limited by the
assumptions of science.

The nervous system of the cell

The famous neuroscientist Charles Scott Sherrington observed that the cytoskeleton may act as the nervous system of single cell organisms. Synaptic connections are formed and regulated by cytoskeletal polymers, including microtubules.
Dr. Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff speculated the cytoskeleton is like a micro-fascial system, within each cell. This micro-myofascial system is made up of a skeleton of tubules filled with fluid and surrounded and interconnected from cell to
cell by a viscous ground substance. They continue to suggest, using the quantum field theory, that ordering of the water
molecules and the electromagnetic field confined inside the hollow microtubules core manifest a specific collective dynamic called super radiance. Accordingly, each microtubule can transform incoherent, disordered energy (molecular, thermal or
electromagnetic) into coherent photons within its hollow core.
This information supports the continuity of the fascial system from the inside of the cell to the very periphery of our being and the holographic model of reality where photons (light) are transmitted as information throughout the mind-body complex. Consciousness may emerge as a macroscopic quantum state from a critical level of
coherence of quantum-level events in and around a specific class of neurobiological microstructures: cytoskeletal microtubules within neurons.

The piezoelectric phenomenon

This information about how information/consciousness is transmitted through the hollow core of the microtubules to all aspects of the mind-body helps to deepen our understanding of the piezoelectric effect when the myofascial system is treated.
The fascia is a piezoelectric tissue; therefore, a therapist utilizing the gentle, sustained pressure of myofascial release through compression, stretching or twisting of the myofascial system generates a flow of bioenergy (information)
throughout the mind-body complex by the piezoelectric phenomenon. This facilitates the extracellular matrix to transform as it goes through its sol to gel reorganization during myofascial release. Fascia behaves as an electrically conductive medium, which allows this viscoelastic tissue to rehydrate under the
sustained pressures of the therapist& #39;s hands. This rehydration also allows for an elongation of the myofascial system, relieving pressure on pain-sensitive structures for alleviation of the symptoms of pain, headaches and restoration of motion.

Cellular consciousness and health

So, we are connected from deep within each cell of our being flows
information/consciousness via light energy (photons) throughout all aspects of our mind-body.

This incredible magnification of our new electronic microscopes has allowed scientists to see fascia! structures within the cell that expand our knowledge and provide us with a more accurate understanding of our fascia! system and its importance to the healthy functioning of our mind-body. There is an avalanche of new information coming out on the deeper structures of
the cell, the myofascial system, holography and the piezoelectric phenomenon.

Myofascial release, massage and other excellent hands-on therapies give therapists powerful healing techniques to effectively, cost-efficiently and comprehensively help clients realize their full potential.

John

Therapeutic Insight: The Myofascial Release Perspective
Inner Wisdom

by John F. Barnes, P.T., L.M.T., N.C.T.M.B.

Is there really such a thing as inner wisdom? If so, how can it be accessed? Our society has emphasized the narrowly focused intellectual side and ridiculed the open focus of our instinctual and intuitive nature. Recent studies have demonstrated that using a cell phone while driving increases one's chances of having an accident by more than fourfold. Why? This is because when dialing, talking and/or thinking, our consciousness is reduced
to a small, narrow focus. This is dangerous because it eliminates our expanded awareness of our surrounding environment.
In the therapeutic setting, it behooves us to be in an open, centered focus, which I teach is the healing zone to access the clients and our inner wisdom.

As therapists, it is our responsibility to discipline ourselves, to be centered and to educate our clients in the value of silence, so that they can access their healing wisdom. Only when the therapist and patient are deeply centered in mutual silence do the depths of their wisdom become accessible for authentic healing to
occur.

For years I have recognized that great therapists have an intangible quality that differentiates them from the average therapist. I have become aware that our educational training focused on the conceptual aspect of our consciousness, ignoring our deeper consciousness where our wisdom lies. In my myofascial
release seminars, I label our intellectual side as channel 5. Our educational system taught us what to think, not how to think! Unfortunately, this was not true education, but instead a mass hypnosis, forcing us to memorize facts while ignoring and ridiculing our intuition, instincts and wisdom, which I label channel 3.

Traditional therapy and medicine imposes it’s will trying to force logic on an illogical body via the channel 5 mentality, vainly focusing on fixing symptoms. As one moves deeper into myofascial release, we realize our past traditional training crippled us by
forcing us to memorize a paradigm of reality that is terribly flawed and is erroneously based on principles that ignore an entire physiological system: the fascia! system.

One of the greatest barriers we, as therapists, have to hurdle is unshackling our mind from the intellectual prison enforced upon us. Rational thought, logic and intelligence are important, but we must have the courage to expand into the very important type of intelligence and wisdom that is based on feelings (channel 3).

Neuroscientists at the University of California have been analyzing decades of research on the multitude of characteristics associated with wisdom. Theydiscovered wisdom is more than just cold calculation, as instincts and emotions are also critical.

Interestingly, a U.S. News and World Report article, titled The Secret Skills of Leaders, described the traits great leaders possessed. German sociologist Max Weber called it, the firm taming of the soul: Today's psychologists call it emotional intelligence (EQ).
Psychologist Daniel Goleman says emotional intelligence is the overlooked yet essential ingredient of leadership. In Primal Leadership: Leaming to Lead with Emotional lntelligence,Goleman states, that instinctual intelligence is the primary factor that distinguishes great leaders from average ones.

A balance of both IQ (channel 5) and EQ (channel 3) is essential for great leaders and therapists alike. Myofascial release performed at the highest level allows the patient to expand beyond channel 5 into channel 3, where authentic healing can occur.
The traditional model of reality thrust upon us gave the false impression that we were small, inconsequential and helpless, and so we identified with the limited false ego (channel 5). In fact, neuroscientists have discovered that the database available to our subconscious (channel 3, EQ) is in excess of 10 million to one to
that of our intellect (channel 5). So, we mistakenly identified with this miniscule aspect of consciousness and now need to correct this error by identifying with the vastness of our loving essence and the incredible, authentic power of our feeling
intelligence (channel 3).

Our goal is to continually develop the prodigious power of our feeling intelligence (EQ) as therapists to help our clients tap into the healing power of channel 3, where our intuition, instinct and wisdom expresses itself in the most loving way.
Myofascial release therapists listen to their clients but more than hearing their words, they also read their body language, repeated phrases (patterns) and the emotional tone of the client';s words or phrases. This tells us much more than words, for this is the client';s EQ speaking from their bodily wisdom.

After the first few treatments, too much talk anything more than 10 percent of a treatment session can be the client& #39;s way of denying or camouflaging her deeper, inner fears. It takes courage for the client to feel these deeply held emotions and it is our role as therapists to gently guide the client into her inner silence, so that
the hidden information and deeply held emotional patterns stuck in the subconscious can emerge for true healing to occur.
If the client insists on talking incessantly, that is her choice; however, she came to her therapist for experience, guidance and wisdom. If the client insists on controlling the session and ignoring the therapist's advice, then she may be denying herself of the most meaningful healing experience of her life.

As the saying goes, Silence is golden.
Sincerely,
John F. Barnes, P.T., L.M.T., N.C.T.M.B.

Therapeutic Insight: The Myofascial Release Perspective-
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Shock
posted:8/5/2010
by John F. Barnes, P.T.

I am sure you have heard of or experienced the flight-or-fight response, but have you ever heard of the freeze response?
For years, I have taught that one of the many benefits of myofascial release and myofascial unwinding is the release of the holding or bracing patterns of the mind-body complex. It seems that during times of trauma, the subconscious develops a protective pattern that becomes locked into the mind-body complex like a "frozen moment in time".

I believe it is these holding patterns that have frustrated therapists using massage and traditional therapy techniques in their efforts to help their clients have a speedy and complete resolution of their problems. In his informative book, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, Peter Levine, Ph.D., develops an intriguing model that may explain the effectiveness of myofascial release.

"The behaviors of fleeing, fighting, and freezing are so primitive that they are thought to predate the reptilian brain. These survival tools are found in all species from spiders and cockroaches to primates and human beings. When neither flight nor fight will ensure the animals safety, there is another line of defense: immobility (freezing), which is just as universal and basic to survival. No animal, not even the human, has conscious control over
whether or not it freezes in response to threat."

When an animal or human is traumatized, it will enter the freeze response as a survival strategy. This state of shock and immobility is beyond conscious control and becomes a vicious cycle, maintaining physiological high levels of activity of both the parasympathetic
and sympathetic nervous systems. In humans, trauma occurs as a result of the initiation of the instinctual cycle that is rarely allowed to finish. "The duration of the immobility (freeze) response is normally time-limited; animals go into it and they come out. If the animal is not killed and when threat is over, the animal then
discharges an enormous amount of energy in the form of shaking, profuse sweating and deep breathing.

It then returns to a state of calm alertness. The human "freeze", response does not easily resolve itself because the supercharged energy locked in the nervous system is imprisoned by the emotions of fear and trauma. The result is that a vicious cycle of fear and immobility takes over, preventing the response from completing naturally. When not allowed to complete, these responses form the symptoms of trauma."

Myofascial release allows for a completion of this instinctive cycle in a safe, natural and effective manner. Working in reverse, myofascial release and myofascial unwinding start with present-day restrictions and compensations. The release of fascia I restrictions alters the habitual muscular holding patterns. With myofascial unwinding, the therapist eliminates gravity from the system. This unloading of the structure allows the body's righting reflexes
and protective responses to temporarily suspend their influence. The body, guided by the therapist, can move into positions of past trauma, which allow for a release of the
instinctual "freeze" response in a safe, gentle and natural manner. As this occurs, myofascial release techniques are utilized to eliminate structural compensations for a resolution of the
client's long-standing symptoms.

The goal of myofascial release is to return the client to a pain-free, active lifestyle.

Sincerely,
John

Therapeutic Insight: The Myofascial Release
Perspective
What Do You Believe?
by John F. Barnes

Many belief systems are thrust upon us by society, the educational system, coupled with our experience. I am not being critical of you with what I am about to write. I was guilty of this much longer than most. My experience has shown that much of what you and I
were taught has been known to be obsolete for close to 70 years! Despite the fact the information has been known to be outdated, it is still being taught in most medical, dental and therapeutic schools, leading to the frustration of temporary results and a
health-care system on the verge of bankruptcy and collapse.

In order to evolve and be the best therapist we can be, it is time to change and update our paradigm. A paradigm is a shared set of assumptions, a model of reality. Our society's model of reality is logical, but terribly flawed and an incomplete paradigm. Our
educational system turned us into word worshipers, almost as if logic was some sort of a religion. I have found over the years that just because something is logical doesn.t mean
it has any basis in reality whatsoever.

What most of us learned and accepted as facts, actually started out as myths a long time ago. These myths and misinformation were passed down by one expert to another, generation upon generation, until we all accepted these myths as facts. We need to step back and take a serious look at what we were taught, keeping that which has value and discarding that which only produces temporary results with our clients or impedes our
joyful expression of life and vibrant health.

Our current model of reality actually began more than 300 years ago. Rene Descartes, the father of modern medicine, Isaac Newton and other scientists of that time got into a fight with the church. Descartes wanted cadavers to dissect to learn more about
anatomy; the church would have none of it. They argued back and forth for quite a while, and I think they eventually gave up. So, they agreed to fragment the human being. The church took the spirit, physicians took biochemistry, we therapists took the
flesh, psychologists focused on the mind and nobody wanted the emotions!

This fragmentation of the human has become absurd. The model of reality taught is that we are just bags of chemicals and/or a mindless machine. Do you really believe that?
These obsolete concepts defy our moment-by-moment experience of ourselves!

In school, the implied message was that we were not bright enough to think for ourselves. We were to believe what the scientific experts said and wrote, not realizing the experts made their logical decisions and formulated their theories on flawed and
incomplete information, which among other things eliminated consciousness.

Behaviorism has strongly influenced the belief systems of both the medical and psychological paradigm since the early 1900s.The following quote is from the National Consciousness Magazine: The Human Paradox of Behaviorism.

It is a paradox for conscious humans to deny consciousness. Yet, generations of physicians and scientists influenced by behaviorism claim to study perception without consciousness, attention without consciousness, learning, brain physiology, animal
behavior, sleep, language, and healing without consciousness, all while explicitly evading the common sense of 26 centuries of written human thought. Naturally, were unable to deal with the subconscious events either; you can't have a subconscious
without consciousness. Yet they've experienced every waking moment consciously.

Basically, in school we were taught what to think, not how to think! And haven't we all been told, Oh, it's only your intuition? One of our most valuable assets was stripped
from us. The emphasis was on memorization, analytical thought and logic. We were taught logical techniques for an illogical body and linear concepts for a nonlinear system, the fascial system.

One of the many reasons myofascial release produces consistent and lasting results is that I teach principles that emanate from an understanding of the nonlinear aspect of the myofascial system, coupled with chaos and complexity theory, as well as cellular
consciousness.

Dr. Candace Pert, one of our country's leading researchers and developers of the endorphin theory, has written an interesting book titled, The Molecule's of Emotion, which you might enjoy. For years, her research has demonstrated that every cell of our
body has intelligence, emotion and memory.

The information, emotions and memories are sent via the neuropeptide system through the microtubules of the fascial system to our brain and neural system. So, cellular
memory lies within and is processed through the ground substance of the fascial system. The ground substance is the environment of every nerve and cell of our body and ideally should be a fluid to gelatinous state.

However, when we undergo trauma and/or a thwarted inflammatory process, the ground substance begins to dehydrate. This solidification impedes the proper processing
of information, emotion and memory, ultimately creating internal tension, anxiety and crushing pressure on pain-sensitive structures. This dysfunctional scenario ultimately leads to the symptoms of pain, headaches, restriction of motion and cellular
malfunction.

Massage, bodywork and energy techniques coupled with myofascial release allow us to rehydrate the fascial system to eliminate the crushing pressure on pain-sensitive
structures and a return of cellular and physiological functioning.

Sincerely,
John
