Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"Hi Noel.
Christopher: It appears to me that you feel free to judge others by standards that you fail to meet yourself. 1. Amused by your evasive comment, "scare quotes".
It was not evasive. Scare quotes are an…"
Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"I don't really know what exactly"Dude" means but guessing that this is nice compliment.
More or less. It's definitely not bad! It's just a very casual way to refer to a guy.
Understood about the…"
Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"Now, either go away or continue to try to convince countless authors, educators and therapists in the fields of both psychology and bodywork that you know more about everything than they do.

Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"
Being a "cold clinician" is a massive timesaver, because I don't have to waste time caring about my clients or students.
That way, I can attend cocktail parties galore, where I label brain diagrams to impress other…"
Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"Raven, where do you find the time to post on here, given all the university cocktail parties you must attend?"
Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"I like how you dismiss anything you don't agree with or understand by attributing it to ego, or labeling it an issue of semantics. That must save you a lot of time and mental energy.
When you called me an ass, did you mean a…"
Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"I haven't yet been exposed to the energy modalities such as Reiki and Reflexology. Going in, I admit to skepticism--but I am open. I will non judgmentally study the energy modalities in the classroom, and hope like hell that I can…"
Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"Clearly, Boris is not referring to computer code written on a subatomic cellular computer
Gary, it is not at all clear what Boris is referring to about 75% of the time. Part of this, as you point out, is probably because English…"

Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"Why are you wasting time on it? egotism?
If I thought it was a total waste of time, I would not have spent any time on this. I previously believed it was good to enter discussions on this site. Many people may not be aware of…"
Christopher A. Moyer replied to Boris Prilutsky's discussion Body Cells Carry Emotional Memory"Hi Noel.
Chrisopher - From your webpage: http://www.uwstout.edu/faculty/moyerc/index.cfm it appears that your focus is on: "how MT can be used as an effective treatment for reducing anxiety and depression, and how…"

Christopher A. Moyer replied to Mike Hinkle's discussion Don't Throw Out Acupuncture Just Yet!!!"Good for you Stephen. It is an effort, but I for one am glad to hear you are making it and that you think it's worth it.

Does massage therapy reduce cortisol?
Back in May 2010, one of the presentations I gave at the Highlighting Massage Therapy in Complementary and Integrative Medicine Conference in Seattle gave an overview of my research group's work to definitively measure the effect of massage therapy on cortisol (the stress hormone produced by the cortex of the adrenal glands). There were a couple of persons at the conference who wished to attend a simultaneous session and who asked if I could later make my slides available to them, so I…

Affective Massage Therapy
A little while ago I wrote an editorial in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork in which I coined the term "Affective Massage Therapy." The editorial, as well as all IJTMB content, is freely available online; see either:

Matthew D. Stewart said… Hi Christopher,
Nice to meet you too. I used your meta-analysis of massage therapy paper in a research methodology paper that I used to teach in New Zealand.
I was at the Massage in CIM conference last year and saw you there but didn't get a chance to introduce myself. I did met Ravensara and Bodhi at that event which was nice, and I'm working with Bodhi on the scientific committee for the 3rd Fascia Research Congress next year.
So, will you take up that invitation to visit the World Massage Festival? ;-)
Mike Hinkle never did answer Susan Chapelle's question of whether there was going to be a ferris wheel at the festival!

- Hi Chris, although on occasion we have not seen eye to eye, I just wanted to let you know that overall, researching the research has become a regular feature on my "to do" list.
Here in the UK research relating to massage is not highlighted enough so have begun threads that are getting good veiwing and comments.
I still practice my woo woo when I feel it appropiate :)
