This technique is pure genius.

Charles Linn, D.C.

NCR has been a tremendous addition to the treatment regime in regard to the care of my patients. I have already had many success stories, including pain relieved, hearing restored, and sinuses cleared by Dr. Howell’s treatment method. I really appreciate his work!

Four years ago I was in a terrible car accident. When the air bag went off it was like getting hit in the face by Muhammad Ali. For years after the accident I had chronic pain in my back and jaw. I went to the chiropractor to alleviate the pain. The relief usually lasted a day or two. A masseuse suggested I try NCR. She told me how much it had helped her, showed me photos documenting her therapy, but I said no way. And then I got tired of being in pain. I think there comes a time when the pain is just too great to ignore whatever treatment is available to you. Most of my mental energy during the day was spent managing my discomfort. After six months of prodding I finally decided to try NCR. Now I am almost completely pain free for months at a time. After my first series of treatments I will never forget getting up off the table and feeling so light and so energized. My back and jaw and neck were completely without pain in a way that I had not experienced since I was a young girl. The world was exquisitely beautiful. Not having to focus on my pain let me focus on the world around me, and it was exquisite.

The experience of NCR, of which I’ve had six series, is exhilarating: to clear the mind, to stand straighter, to increase the appreciation of my own body and mind is a gift. I recommend this treatment to all who wish to encourage their creativity and confidence.

It feels so good to feel good! Thank you so much for all that you [Dr. Howell] and NCR have done for me!

Judy Schapp

I’d like to thank you, Dr. Howell. For twenty years I had progressively been becoming more ill. I had been to numerous medical doctors and even more alternative healers in seven different states. I’d been given well over twenty diagnoses and more prescriptions than I could even begin to count. I knew that there had to be an underlying problem in the brain or nervous system. I just didn’t know what it was or how to correct it. God lead me to you, and you are correcting it. Thank you for saving my life.

Deena Hall

You have helped a countless number of people, and so many are grateful to you when all else had failed. You’re a great doctor!

Angela Schrader

My face was oblong and now is rounder. My TMJ is clearing up. My skin tone and facial structure have improved, and I’m more balanced in my posture. Dr. Howell has also been helpful recommending solutions to other health problems. He is a well of practical information about all kinds of health issues.

Miriam Reiss

My headaches started when I was a teenager. Several years ago I learned about Dr. Howell, and his treatment has done wonders for me! It not only handled my headaches but also my sinuses. I used to do many other therapies for these things, but NCR is the only thing that handled that permanently.

Maria Rodriguez Olleros

I have received many miracle-like treatments from Dr. Howell.

Charlotte Johnson

I’ve had lots of results from NCR. My shoulders used to be hunched; now they are back. I used to be unable to lie on my stomach and turn my head to one side, for fear of a pinched nerve in my neck causing excruciating, continuous pain for weeks. Now I can lie down any way I want. What a release! My front top tooth used to cross over my other tooth quite a bit, but now they are straight. My back used to be too straight, but now it curves normally.

Laurie Cole

Dr. Howell was able to reverse problems from an accident that occurred nearly 30 years ago. I no longer suffer from continual headaches. My dowager’s hump has disappeared. I look and feel so much better.

Sheila Jordan

All my life I’ve had general nervousness as well as problems with my eyes, balance, and walking due to cerebral palsy. Dr. Howell has helped reverse these conditions. I noticed a lot of improvement already by the second or third day of treatment.

Jay M. Scheie

I had dislocated my collarbone playing softball at school. That evening we went to see Dr. Howell. With treatment, the dislocated collarbone moved into place! There was still some pain, but it soon faded away. I was as good as new!

Loren Raber

After 30 years of migraine headaches, 2 series of NCR treatments completely eliminated them. It’s been over 6 years now without a single migraine! My feet also had extremely high arches, which have normalized from NCR. The third major change I’ve noticed is my pelvis—I’m currently pregnant and am carrying this child much differently from my first 4 pregnancies. Overall, I feel so much better from NCR; it is totally amazing!

Carmen C. Garrison

I have not had one single headache since my first NCR treatment sequence! Hallelujah!

Nancy Johnson

I am thrilled to have found Dr. Howell—he is doing a mighty work—as so many people have problems that have not been helped by conventional doctors, drugs, or surgery. I am very excited for Tyler and am hoping to have my other son see Dr. Howell also. Thank you!

Bev Brink

People are noticing that since I got NCR I look taller and thinner, I walk better (more upright with my head held high), my voice is less nasal, and I sound calmer and more focused. I feel more focused, more intelligent, and more organized. I am breathing better for the first time in my life, getting more oxygen. It’s awesome! It may have ended my sleep apnea. The treatment is light years ahead of what chiropractors and my D.O. have done for me. I feel a permanent change with NCR. 4 days of this treatment has done more for me than 15 years of seeing the chiropractor 16 times a year (what my insurance allowed) and tons of massage treatments. It’s a miracle and pure genius. Like one patient said, ‘…a natural therapy that improves the functioning of your brain. No vitamin, no herb, and no drug can make your brain as fast, clear, or powerful as this one mighty therapy.’ One guy told me it was the 3rd most powerful experience in his whole life and that after the 4th series, his brain went from a Pentium 1 to a Pentium 4.

Robert Griffis

As my head shape continues to round, I am feeling much better. Thanks for the boost—it’s been most helpful!

Hudson

I have received many health benefits from NCR. I was born with a severe scoliosis and deformity. Each NCR treatment caused my spine to become a little straighter and the bones to be slightly less deformed. Because of age I shrunk 2 inches. This shrinking has stopped since Dr. Howell has treated me. I have become calmer since getting NCR, and the treatments have given me more energy. My vision had become slightly blurry until NCR improved it. I was glad to notice the TV was clearer, and I can now see much more clearly.

Carla Lamarr

Thank you so much for treating Eugene. For the first time that I remember, he can breathe through the left side of his nose, and his ‘tic’ is greatly diminished! I love what you do for your patients!

Gayla and Dr. Lyndon Capon

I must tell you how pleased I am at the NCR treatments—my body responded so quickly. I just can’t say enough about it!

Jean Hanscom

For several years, I lived with continual pain. Muscles throughout my back, shoulders, neck and head were in continuous spasm. My eyes hurt from unrelenting pressure and my vision was gradually deteriorating. Sleeping was extremely difficult, because I couldn’t find a comfortable position. If I slept on my back, the back of my head would go numb and then hurt like crazy. And the small of my back would aggravate me all day. But if I slept on my side, my shoulder and neck would hurt all day! I would suffer torticollis (wry neck) if by chance a breeze touched the left side of my neck, so I wore scarves and dickies even through the muggy Florida summer! Because of the pain and exhaustion due to the pain, I slept a lot. My brain was often on 'half function.' I was groggy much of the time. Although I had been a brilliant academic achiever in my youth, I had turned into someone who was confused, absent minded, and ungrounded. I couldn’t work, nor could I create music and art as I’d done years earlier. I was barely functioning.

Jean Hanscom

There were many reasons for this pain, but perhaps the biggest one was that during the 60’s and early 70’s, I played violin professionally and didn’t hold the instrument properly, hunching up my left shoulder and craning my neck to the left and down. After awhile, this contraction of muscles became permanent, throwing my structure out of balance. In 1977, I fell backwards onto a terrazzo floor, 'cracking' my skull. For months afterward, I had dizziness, and yep, more imbalance. Then in 1986, I had surgery to correct a massive jaw overbite problem and everything got worse, if that was possible. Within a year of the surgery, my little remaining physical comfort became a thing of the past.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

My attempts to heal this pain could not include doctors and pain clinics. I simply didn’t have the money. I located good Chiropractors, but they gave me only temporary relief. Unfortunately, I was one of those people who could never hold an adjustment. As soon as I’d look up or to the side, 'crunch,' and I was out of alignment again. My husband, Francois, had to learn how to give me neck adjustments because I needed them several times a day in order to function. I tried massage therapy too, and it would help temporarily. But then my body would just return to its normal pain and tension within two days, if not sooner.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

Nutrition helped some, especially the Mineral Toddy, which alleviated my achy joints. Neuromuscular and Rolfing work (with the 'finger up the nose' experience) helped a little, and so did some Upledger work. They could shift my cranial plates some, but not expand them outward to relieve the pressure. My muscle pain remained. Besides researching every alternative health literature source I could find, I knew that there must be a metaphysical reason for all of this suffering. So, I threw myself into years of intensive internal, personal change. My life shifted in glorious, even magical ways, but the pain didn’t go away. I prayed for healing every day, and asked for something that could help my compressed cranial bones to relax and expand outward. Laughingly, I would tell everyone that all my problems were 'in my head.'

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

Then I received a copy of Sam Biser’s 'Last Chance Newsletter.' In it, he interviewed Dr. Dean Howell, of Everett, Washington. Dr. Howell shared the amazing results he’d had by doing a therapy currently called NeuroCranial Restructuring, or NCR. This therapy involved moving the cranial plates OUTWARD, expanding the head. He mentioned symptoms that were alleviated by this treatment. TA! DA! They matched mine to a tee! I knew the answer to my prayers had come! Immediately, I called only to find out that Dr. Howell saw patients only on the West Coast, and so it seemed that, due to the expense, I would have to wait a very long time. But then, Howell’s secretary called me to tell me that he was planning a tour, and if I put together enough patients for him, he’d come to Florida. (He no longer does tours, unfortunately.)

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

YES! Immediately, I became an enthusiastic local representative, telling my friends about this therapy, making flyers about the upcoming visit, and sending interested people copies of the Biser newsletter to read about it for themselves. Anxiously, I awaited the therapy dates. Would it be painful? Would it work? Would it mess me up further? I had my doubts, but they were all put aside because, after all, I’d prayed for this therapy and now it was here. I trusted my gift.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

Dr. Dean Howell is a sunny, cherub-faced, and charming man. As my husband Francois and I sat down with him the first day of four, he showed us the amazing before and after pictures of people he’d worked on in previous cities of the tour. He told us that the treatment did not hurt, as there were few nerves inside the sinuses and six nasal passages/chambers (there are 3 chambers to a side). The procedure required that he insert a balloon (actually, the plastic cover doctors use for fingers) placed over a small hand-pump into one of the chambers. He would then pump up the balloon, which would open up the locked bones, expanding the head.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

A session with him would consist of first determining how one’s structure is balance. Then, he would do the insertion and pump where the 'opening up' was most needed to unlock the cranial bones. In places of extra lockdown or resistance, he would use up to 10 balloons, as this gave him extra pressure and power. Each insertion/pump would last between 2 to 6 seconds. At the end of each treatment, whether he used the balloon one time or four times, he would balance the whole physical structure. This sounded good, even though I still had trepidation.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

Then it was finally time to experience it. How bizarre it was! It felt like plunging into a swimming pool and getting water up my nose. I felt the pressure, and then I felt the bones inside my head give way. It was almost as if a very soft screwdriver bore a hole into the most private recesses of my head. Nobody had ever been in there before, so at first it felt like a violation of my privacy, my private space. But immediately, I felt an electric surge of energy, as if my whole system was waking up. I breathed a huge, clear breath---amazing! Getting up from the table, I looked at myself in the mirror. My narrow face was wider, rounder. My eyes were set differently and my face was softer - not so angular. Not that tightened look of pain. Again, amazing! I had cheekbones I never knew I had. Obviously, they’d been compressed for so very long.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

Then Dr. Howell balanced my spine with a mixture of polarity, chiropractic-like adjustments and energy movement. I felt energy moving from my head all the way down my spine. He told me that was the freeing of the meninges, which are the fluid compartments surrounding the brain and spinal cord. They naturally determine where the skull and vertebrae sit and balance. When the cranium is locked up, they can’t fulfill all of their functions.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

The energy and freedom I began to feel with this 'energy movement' of my meninges brought me, by the end of my first session, tremendous elation. That was the only way to describe what I felt. I had more bright energy than I knew what to do with, and danced around like a little girl. For years, I hadn’t felt this awake and alert so that I had a hard time going to sleep that night. For the first time, it wasn’t because of the pain, but because I was so incredibly awake. The next day we returned for the second session of four. I told Dr. Howell how I felt, and he said not all people have that, only some of them. This day went like the first day, and from this session, I experienced incredible peace and balance. At least my nervous system allowed me to sleep that night, but the pain gradually came back in my head.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

I returned disappointed and concerned on the third day. Dr. Howell checked me out and immediately told me that I was still locking up on my right side. So he did extra work on my right side. That night, Francois tested my vertebrae with kinesiology (muscle testing) and for the first time, my atlas was in proper alignment. My husband and I danced in the kitchen, as I had a freedom and energy I hadn’t had for years! I wasn’t quite perfect yet, but the improvement was just incredible. I slept well, and experienced my first dreamless sleep since high school. I awoke rested and the next morning went into my fourth session of four. This time, Dr. Howell did a balancing routine only. I had such energy that day that it was difficult to stop myself from talking all the time.

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

The next day, I woke up and the bones in my head were settled into a beautiful pattern. I had no pain in my back or neck! The cranial bones now had freedom to move. My body felt so aligned, it was wonderful. I felt no pain at all, nor any pressure. I felt and looked relaxed and so full of joy! I walked with the vigor of a college girl. I felt alive. My mind was clear and sharp, and I could think clearly again! I was actually excited about life again and found that I could focus, create, work, and be me. I can sing now, create music and art again, and feel that my mental clarity and emotional stability have returned. My body is able to carry out my activities, including gardening, bike riding and walking. I feel great! This therapy was the greatest gift of my life. It changed my life completely and permanently. I feel this therapy should be made available to everyone. I have spoken to people who have 'had everything' done to them and have seen more transformation from NCR than they have seen from any other work, and they all say the same thing. 'Why didn't I find this earlier?'

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D

If you have any questions about this therapy or want to experience NCR yourself, please contact Dr. Howell. I am also happy to speak with you and answer your questions. I encourage you to give it a try. It will be the best decision you’ve ever made.
