Pure Living Water

Here is a great quote from the Osteopath Pascal De Dene about the importance of water in our living tissue.

“We traditionally use the four basic tissue types: epitheleal, connective, muscular, and nervous to describe the organization of the body. Each of these tissues contains its own specific cells embedded within a distinct extracellular matrix (ECM), precisely tailored to support their function.

What is often overlooked, is beyond these localized ECM’s there exists a larger, more universal matrix - namely the interstitial matrix. This matrix does not merely stretch between between cells, but actually connects all tissues to one another. It is within this space that information, fluids, signaling molecules, cytokines, metabolites, and mechanical forces are transmitted.

It is within the interstitial matrix that “the pure living water” flows. This water is not simply passive, but bound to structures, arranged in layers, and charged with information. As Andrew Still, the father of Osteopathy, proclaimed “the pure living water is the highest known remedy”
