Craniopathy
From Kook Science
Craniopathy is a chiropractic-inspired method for the supposed adjustment of the sutures of the skull, this being done to cause the elimination of "brain sand" and for the promotion of general well-being. The method was first devised and promoted by Nephi Cottam (1883-1966), an American chiropractic, who stated that that he learned of it from "The Monitor," described as being an inner voice.
