Smith, D.D.S. Langhorne, PA o USA The song, "The head bone is connected to the neck bone; the neck bone is connected the shoulder bone" and so on reveals functional anatomic relationships that led this researcher to search for the functional links between the dental complex (teeth, jaw position) and the craniosacral system (skull and spine and its relation to chronic headaches, neck, facial and low back pain. The one big common denominator that exists between chronic pain and the human frame is a lack of parallel relationships among body parts. The main parallel planes that are involved include the ear, eye, shoulder, and pelvic planes. A key contributing factor within the entire system is a distorted upper jaw or maxillae which literally represents the foundation of the human skull. When this foundation is crooked so goes the rest of the body. The architectural design of the human body has structural balance as its basic theme. When parallelism is lost, imbalances result with potential debilitating symptoms that can occur in various parts of the body. From a clinical perspective patients who do not respond to traditional therapy for chronic complaints of headaches, cervical pain, low back pain and leg pain frequently have a faulty alignment of their upper jaw. This misalignment causes tension within the covering of the brain and spinal cord (dual membrane system) which triggers off the pain receptors. Patients with premature loss of molar teeth with tilting of adjacent teeth, narrowed jaws, deep bites, worn down partials or full dentures offer prime examples of jaw misalignments. The jaw misalignment generates a mechanical problem every time the patient chews or when their teeth, partial or full dentures contact during normal swallowing. The upper and lower jaws must work together with the muscles of the mouth, head and neck. If the upper jaw plane is not parallel, the muscles will not work as efficiently. Often the first signs of this imbalance are sore teeth or sore spots under partial or full dentures that will not go away and tightness of the low back, upper neck, shoulders and facial muscles. As the imbalance persists, micro-traumas occur to the soft tissues, nerves and tiny blood vessels surrounding the teeth or in the gums and can result in muscle spasms. It is these muscle spasms that trigger off the chain reaction causing the spine, shoulders, pelvis and legs to be out of alignment. The domino affect of these chronic imbalances cause additional tension on other muscles, nerves and blood vessels. The pains that develop often do not respond to steroid injections, pain and anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, chiropractic or osteopathic manipulations. This researcher has found that only when the structural imbalance has been corrected can the symptom of pain be resolved. Several case histories are provided to support the validity of this concept: Case 1. Twenty Year Migraines and Low back Pain J.G. is a 68 year-old female who has suffered severe migraine headaches and lower back pain for 20 years. This patient received a multitude of therapies over the twenty-year period that included various medications, manipulation and physical therapy. Unfortunately these approaches only provided temporary relief at best. The patient's underlying problem was an old set of dentures that were severely worn down in a distorted horizontal plane. The structural imbalances set up by the misaligned denture was the direct cause for the upper neck muscle spasms that entrapped the nerves and blood vessels to her head. Within several weeks after new full dentures were inserted that corrected the misaligned horizontal and vertical planes, the patient's migraines and low back pain disappeared. Case 2. Ten Year Facial, Neck, Shoulder, Lower Back Pain and Leg Weakness. A.C. is a 46 year-old female patient who was referred from Ottawa Canada by her orthodontist. This patient had suffered left side pain from the top of her head to her toes. Ten years of traditional therapy by medical and dental practitioners did not produce any lasting relief. The patient was presently undergoing orthodontic treatment for a poor bite and was wearing an upper and lower removable appliances. The upper dental appliance and model of the patient's mouth were mounted on special instrument to analyze the parallel planes. The upper appliance was corrected by grinding down the plastic material to establish a horizontal plane. Within five minutes after inserting the corrected appliance, 90% of the patient's left sided pain pattern disappeared. Additional nutritional and manipulative treatment was provided during the next several days and increased the relief to a 98% level which the patient has maintained for the past three years. Case 3. Four Years of Incapacitating Facial Pain Mrs. B.G., a 44 year-old female, suffered severe incapacitating facial pain for a four-year period. Mrs. G. was a registered nurse in Pittsburgh, PA. She had become gradually affected by facial pain to a point where she had to stop working. The pain affected not only the left side of her face but caused her left eye to completely close. The patient was treated by numerous medical doctors including a complete evaluation at a prestigious pain clinic. As a last resort the patient was put on the new miracle drug Immitrex, for migraine headaches. At $40 per injection, this treatment brought only partial relief. An evaluation of the patient's problem revealed that her pain was caused by nerve entrapment from a spastic muscle. The patient's 15 year-old ill-fitting upper denture wore down to a point which reduced vertical support for the main chewing muscles. The resulting spasm put pressure on a branch of the trigeminal or 5th cranial nerve causing facial pain and closure of her left eye. Resolving the muscle spasm and correcting the denture brought permanent relief. Resolving chronic pain involves an in depth analysis of the potential underlying sources. To better understand the causative factors the patient must be evaluated in five major areas: Skull, Dental Complex, Pelvic Complex, Physiological (nutritional deficiencies, heavy metal toxicity, poor digestion, acupuncture meridian imbalances, geopathic stress, acid-alkaline imbalance, environmental sensitivities) Complex and Psychological Complex. Since the body is totally integrated within these five systems it is extremely important to know which areas represent the major distortion and which represent the compensatory changes. Most often treating the patient's symptom is equivalent to constantly changing the front tires on a car that has a front end misalignment. Until physicians learn to diagnose the major underlying problems and make corrections with appropriate therapies, health care will continue to be non-existent. The neuro-anatomy of the head and neck region is extremely complex and closely related to one's jaw position. Dentists trained in this specialized field and utilizing state of the art technology can now offer a non-invasive approach to resolving the age old problem of pain. ----- This article has been offered to Your Life-Your Choice by: C h a r l e s K e s s l e r & A s s o c i a t e s Online Marketing Services since 1994 310 215 0005 1-888-680-3223 http://www.net-market.com ******************************************** Section 4 PLEASE VISIT OUR SPONSORS HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS - YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!! - Thousands of interested prospects will know where to find you. - Have YOUR name available when your services are needed. - Highly targeted local and global promotional benefits for less than $1/week.

Silver has been reported to disinfect hundreds of different germs. Unlike conventional antibiotics, bacteria is unable to build resistance to the action of silver. Another great advantage of a properly prepared colloid of silver is that it is extremely safe to use, even with children. It is without the many side effects of conventional antibiotics. What is a Colloid ? Colloids consist of very tiny particles suspended in a liquid, usually water. (Colloids may also be suspended in solids and in gases). Colloids differ from suspensions in that colloids do not settle. The particles in a colloid are typically 0.01 to 0.001 of a micron in diameter, or about four hundred thousandths to four millionths of an inch in diameter. The Russian Scientist S.S. Voyutsky, wrote that a colloid system must have the following three characteristics; 1. It must be heterogeneous. (consisting of dissimilar ingredients like silver and water) 2. The system must be multiphasic. (having more than one phase, i.e.- solid/liquid, gas/liquid) 3. The particles must be insoluble. (does not dissolve in the solution or suspension) It is these three characteristics that give colloids their unique qualities. Colloids will remain heterogeneous, multiphasic, and insoluble as long as the particles are of colloid size. Current Status of Colloidal Silver. In the U.S.A., Colloidal Silver is considered by the Food and Drug Administration to be a pre 1938 drug. Colloidal Silver products may be marketed as long as they are advertised and labeled for the same use as in 1938 and as long as they are manufactured in the original manner. The current status of Colloidal Silver is that it can be manufactured and distributed, but no claims regarding effectiveness against disease can be made without going through the (complicated and expensive) drug approval process. It may be alright to say that Colloidal Silver has antibacterial properties, but it is another to say it will "cure" bronchitis. Methods of Production. Prior to 1938 there were a wide range of methods used to manufacture Colloidal Silver. These manufacturing approaches fall into five main groups. 1. Grind 2. Wave 3. Liquid 4. Chemical 5. Electrical Of these five manufacturing processes, the grind process and the electro-colloidal process were primarily used to manufacture colloidal silver. Today, the FDA still allows both manufacturing techniques to be used. Of these two methods the electro-colloidal process is generally considered to be far superior. With the grind method the particles of silver are usually no finer than four one-thousandths of an inch. They may or may not be electrically charged. The size of the silver particle is so large compared to the possible charge, that the repelling forces would not be strong enough to offset the pull of gravity on the particles, which will tend to settle to the bottom of the solution, producing a less effective product. To offset this settling problem, some manufacturers add a "stabilizer" (usually a protein) to make the solution more viscous and keep them suspended for a longer period of time. The silver particles will still eventually settle to the bottom and the bottle will have to be shaken to re-disperse the particles of silver. The addition of stabilizers tend to block the beneficial effects of the silver particles. When the proper electrical process is used to make Colloidal Silver, and the particles are within the range of four one- hundred-thousandths to four one-millionths of an inch in diameter, and are uniformly charged, a stabilizer is not required to keep the particles suspended. The repelling magnetic force will offset the pull of gravity on the particles, which are animated by "Brownian Movement", and remain in suspension in a liquid medium almost indefinitely. The stability will depend on the size of the particles, the medium used, and the manufacturing process employed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Resources; Zane Baranowski, CN Colloidal Silver The Natural Antibiotic Alternative 1995 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Disclaimer All material appearing in this newsletter is provided for educational purposes only.
