INTRUDER CONCEPT

Desengrammation is an osteopathic tool developed by Jean-Philippe FOISSY D.O.  

 

He stated the hypothesis that any disease is caused by the intrusion of an element that causes an energetic imbalance and that the Archicortex functions as a "sentinel" with the capacity to establish protective barriers against these intruders, but also to identify them and to get rid of the traces left in memory.

​

What we call disease is a collection of symptoms that result from the body's inability to integrate or metabolize information from the constantly changing environment.

These strains, which can be endogenous (tissue inertia, biochemical imbalances, fluid stasis, organic disturbances, etc.), exogenous (food, viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, etc.), traumatic, emotional or even hereditary, are experienced as an intrusion for the organism, which keeps this information in its memory (engramming) : this is the concept of the Intruder, a real computer bug that will disturb the system.

​

The Archicortex, which manages all the chemical, metabolic, hormonal and emotional functions of the body, adapts to external and internal information by providing an adapted physiological response to maintain a dynamic balance (allostasis).

During this "bug" caused by the intruder, the response will be inappropriate and the dynamic balance will be disrupted.

The intruder identified and eliminated, the body is then released from its strains, and its capacities of adaptation can come into action so that the state of Health is restored.

 

​

The concept of energetic blockage:

​

We can compare this concept with the work of Hans SELYE on stress, who defines it as "all the physiological and psychological means used by a person to adapt to an event". 

Environmental factors will induce changes and adaptations in all dimensions of life, from the cell to the entire organism, in order to avoid physiological dysfunctions and to remain as much as possible in harmony with its environment.

When the intruder comes into contact with the system, it will generate stress. Up to a certain threshold this information will be absorbed. The system will react to dissipate the effects of the energy of the stimulus.

​

When the stimulus is too strong (acute stress) or continues for too long (chronic stress) the tolerance threshold will be exceeded.

​

Acute stress corresponds to a sudden change in the environment. The physiological response will be total and rapid in order to provide the energy for the body to react immediately.

Normally, the physiological state established will dissipate within a more or less short time after the stressor stops. However, depending on the energetic state, genetics, general state of the individual, lifestyle, intensity of the stimulus ... the energy deficit related to the excessive consumption of glucose and glycogen in order to initiate the defense reactions will be too great and will lead to changes endangering the equilibrium state of the body.

 

The regulatory systems of the Archicortex will then create a barrier (blockage) to protect the organism or structure concerned. The form will adapt to keep the system alive, a new behavior will appear (symptom).

During a chronic stress, the stimulus will be repetitive and/or prolonged. SELYE speaks of a general adaptation syndrome. The response to intruders (stressors) will change and no longer reflect the initial intensity of the stimulus. It will exhaust the individual's energy reserves, endangering the system as before, and the primary brain will set up a protective barrier. Jean-Philippe FOISSY talks about saturation.

 

How it works in practice :

​

We need to fix the attention of the Archicortex to create a state of receptivity in order to test the different elements, find the Intruder and launch the desengramming procedure.

 

For this we use mainly 3 types of tests:

• Test vials that contain the substance (a food, a chemical product, a drug ...), the tissue (anatomical structure) or the information of the element to be tested (homeopathy, optical transfer) that we will put in direct contact with the patient.

• Visualization/Mentalization of the elements to be tested.

• The Chinese energy meridians that will serve as diagnostic tools and that we will test specifically according to the anamnesis.

​

​

During our "Investigation" if the Intruder tested is rejected, there will be a tissue sideration that we will perceive mainly at the level of the cranium and the sacrum. We will feel a very strong tension in the tissues, a kind of blockage at the cranio-sacral level.

If the body has difficulty accepting the element tested, there will be a tension, a kind of slowing down of the tissue mobility, and conversely, if the element tested is positive, a certain ease that we will perceive as an acceleration.

 

It is also with the help of the cranium and the sacrum that we will launch the desengrammation procedure.

This procedure is almost mathematical. When the intruder is found, a very specific sequence of movements will be launched at the level of the skull and sacrum. We will count this sequence and thus be able to quantify the level of "blockage" and follow the progress of the release as the procedure progresses.
This will also allow us to accurately monitor the progress from one consultation to the next.

For those who have never experienced Desengrammation or who have heard of it vaguely, the method of Jean-Philippe FOISSY may seem strange. Just like STILL's osteopathy at its beginning, SUTHERLAND's cranial approach and many other pioneers in their field.

​

One can ask oneself if desengrammation is really osteopathy?

​

Similar questions were asked about the " special " practice of Robert FULFORD D.O.
Zacharie COMEAUX, in his book Osteopathy and Medicine of the Future, reports his comments on this subject. To the question: "Is it really necessary to be an osteopath to do this? It doesn't seem very osteopathic"; he answered: "If I wasn't an osteopath, how would I know what to do?

​

Desengrammation seemed to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Fulford. He used crystals to treat, tested products using kinesiology, and was influenced by Randolph STONE D.O. with his integrated meridian energy approach that saw dysfunction and disease states as the result of blocked energy flow; and Candice PERT PhD. with her work on the biology of emotions. 
Robert FULFORD, a direct student of SUTHERLAND, a member (and former president) of the Cranial Academy and whose bedside book was A.T. STILL's Philosophy and Mechanical Principles.

​

In desengrammation we use test vials, meridians and the notion of energetic obstruction, we treat emotional and traumatic blockages releasing the consequences on the physical level, we help the body to adapt to its environment based on anatomical-physiological knowledge and following the osteopathic philosophy.

Yes, desengrammation has its place.
