This article is being forwarded to my son as he has been the recipient of many from Unbekoming. Starting his work history in a dental office he has learned much and appears to be invaluable to dentists. He allowed too many years to transpire and never fulfilled his dream of being a dentist. So now he assists, efficiently runs an office, makes house calls to friends and family and directs all to dentists with what he sees as specific problems.

My son reconnected a previous fall-out of a implant installed badly by a dentist and it's still in, sturdy as a rock. He took my sister into his dentist to repair serious damage at a cost 1000's less than her dentist charged. But he's deeply into sleep apnea with children.

My son knows my feeling about dentists and many other fields of "expertise", are at ground zero so I have refused treatment in many instances because of the ridiculously high level of xrays required that I do not comply with. I'm sure this article will reignite his lost memories of what I did for myself and my dog when all was lost, using accupuncture, homeopathy and Chinese medicine. I'm still here and my dog lived 7 years past a vets expiration date.

I wonder if people are aware of how important this is...? If you look at a diagram of the nerves in the skull, around the jaw, and the neck, it's an amazing network. The CRANIAL nerves control activities of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, swallowing, etc..

When the CERVICAL vertebrae are out of alignment, the jaw is out of alignment, and the tailbone area is out of alignment. Newsflash! The neck is connected to the tailbone. It's all one piece with lots of connections.

This can cause a lot of what people perceive as psychiatric symptoms. They're caused by miscommunication along the nervous system. The messages are jumbled. Psychiatrist not needed.

I think the concept of sleep-disordered breathing is backwards. It's disordered breathing that factors into the sleep disorder. Disordered breathing is caused I believe, primarily by the vagus nerve being out of tone. When it's out of tone, the autonomic nervous system is out of balance, and a truckload of things are affected including breathing, heart rate, digestion, etc. When tone is restored to the vagus nerve, the sympathetic NS calms down, and breathing becomes regular and deep, not shallow with too many breaths per minute. If we are breathing deeply and relaxed, we sleep well.

I think Roman Shapoval mentioned the harm that EMFs do to the jaw... We're holding cell phones or sitting at the computer being radiated with EMFs from the devices. This wreaks havoc on the head and neck - eyes, mouth, jaw, throat, thyroid. I think it's an unrecognized cause of jaw issues and what is referred to as "burning mouth syndrome," which appears to be everywhere.
