Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 The guy you want to talk to about dental bite is Dr. Kloefler in San Diego. He's heads above everybody else on the subject. He looks at its neurological/endocrine impact rather than a strictly mechanical one as most dentists do. Dr. Kloeffler's an oramaxilla facial specialist, who's pretty elderly but still practicing. He's trained about every oral surgeon around here, but he's very disappointed with the field in general. And he's completely given up on the NICO docs after having first hand experiences with them and seeing what happens to their patients. Last time I talked to him, he said he will no longer refer a patient of his to ANY dentist or NICO specialist and he knows them all, he's so disheartened by what he's seen. But he knows SO much about the jaw and it's impact on the autonomic nervous system. He's respected and has been trying to get more dentists and oral surgeons to understand how important the jaw is, but doesn't feel he's making a whole lot of immediate headway. He was feeling somewhat hopeful about one of the well known dental schools (Loma ?), but I don't know where that went. The whole thing just becomes extremely disheartening after a while. pennyWallace Kingston <wpswallace@...> wrote: --- They do a free Q and A every week at the clinic as well as a radio show.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Well, Tony, the problem is, my town (and Southern Cal.) is inundated with docs that say all these same pretty things. Remember the famous guy I went to see who seemed, according to his website, to have EVERYTHING figured out about this illness, just to tell me after I paid him a couple thousand dollars for tests that he wasn't familiar with osteomyelitis (even though his website talked about it) and that all I really needed was better sleep and shipped me some FMS pills I didn't want but got charged for anyway? These docs make you take all kinds of crazy expensive tests, then sell you about 600 bottles of supplements and send you on your way. I've got these kinds of guys coming out my ears here. I've got freakin' seminars by famous cfs docs coming out my ears at my local health food store. None of them get anybody I personally know well. After a while I got tired of chasing one after the next. So now I just listen to my friends and wait. If after 6 months, they're still with it and seeing some improvement, then I start to get interested. So far, I can't say I've found anybody who accomplishes much without using really hardcore treatments. dumbaussie2000 <dumbaussie2000@...> wrote: Wllace That's a very good article, and it follows some sensible science..I'm not reading too much BS in that..this follows a no nonsense commonsense understanding of these conditions.Especially the part that explains the holding up of the head and the firing off of the muscles constantly to achieve this.I recently tried to make people aware that the spine is a disaster area in these conditionsand it often needs plates installed to hold it up.>> He is too far away for me but is the kind of person I would consult. > Dental issues are high on his agenda, including dental bite etc.> > Wallace> > Understanding Fibromyalgia (often related to CFIDS) Syndrome> By.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Oh, I totally agree that jaw misalignment can have some major impact on your trigeminal nerve, the autonomic nervous system and your overall health. Dr. Kloeffler showed me some really good examples of what happens when your jaw alignment is off. For instance, I've been compensating for a very long time without even knowing it for my misalignment. My whole body's slightly twarked out of alignment. Dr. Kloeffler put a small peice of cotton between my teeth and told me to walk down a hall. I couldn't do it. I kind of staggered down the hall, almost banging into the wall, all because of a slight change in my jaw. I did get appliances from him. Almost $2,000 worth (not $600) and he was a huge help with me as far as helping me get some treatment for my jaw infection (he gave me abx when the surgeon wouldn't, but he no longer does surgery himself). Unfortunately, the appliance didn't get me well or change a whole lot. It kept me from grinding, but Benicar now keeps me from grinding, and I got worried about having that appliance in my mouth covering my teeth so much of the time, when I've already got problems with bacteria and bio-films in the region. However, I do think it's an essentially important part of the body to consider. Not only is the largest nerve in the body sitting right there, but it connects directly to the brain. The jaw's a great portal for infection as it gives direct access to the most sensitive parts of our bodys. And like Dr. Kloeffler says, the reason we've got so many jaw problems that go undetected, is because medicine and dentists for the most part consider the jaw to be nothing more than a mechanical device, and they treat it that way, and that's what causes all the trouble. pennydumbaussie2000 <dumbaussie2000@...> wrote: Penny'I see your point!
