Symmetry in humans has been synonymous with beauty since time immemorial. Its vital relationship to health is ill understood and only occasionally mentioned.

Here we endeavour to bring a new paradigm to make a real difference to the lives of those who have had little consolation from conventional medical approaches to health. It is not TMD or TMJD. It is a new concept at looking at the whole of the human form and how a minute asymmetry in one region can have large scale effects, anatomically, musculoskeletally and neurologically, throughout the body.

It is an acceptance of our bodies as a whole complete organ where a problem in one area affects many other areas. It is a cutting-edge nous and polemicises the divisive specialities of medicine which specialise in treating different parts as separate entities. A system, which is archaic, and a ramshackle of an antediluvian product of medicine men from the time of the pharaohs.

It is about placing most of medical ailments as emanating from disturbances in our Cranio-dental complex and the resultant asymmetry of our bodies. It epitomises the dental complex together with the Atlanto-occipital joint as the key anchor points for the correction of asymmetries in our skeleton to bring about an essential missing harmony, which underlies most illnesses.

It is a move towards more basic principles governing our bodily functions, rather than a collective folly, that we have all subscribed to since the dawn of medicine.

Most that are engaged in the practice of medicine and dentistry are unaware of the havoc caused by the slightest changes in this complex. For some 50 years, there have been pointers in the right direction but unfortunately, these serendipitous discoveries have never been convincingly followed up.

Regaining symmetry is the key component. Symmetry generally conveys a sense of harmonious or aesthetically pleasing proportionality and balance; such that it reflects beauty or perfection.

Bilateral symmetry

In bilateral symmetry, only one plane called the sagittal plane will divide an organism into roughly mirror image halves (with respect to external appearance only) Bilateral symmetry permits streamlining, favors the formation of a central nerve center, contributes to cephalization, and promotes actively moving organisms.

In any human endeavor for which an impressive visual result is part of the desired objective, symmetries play a profound role. The innate appeal of symmetry can be found in our reactions to happenings across highly symmetrical natural objects, such as precisely formed crystals or beautifully spiraled seashells. We view symmetries both as beautiful and, in some fashion, informative of the world around us.

Symmetry in social interactions

People observe the symmetrical nature, often including asymmetrical balance, of social interactions in a variety of contexts. These include assessments of reciprocity, empathy, apology, dialog, respect, justice, and revenge. Symmetrical interactions send the message "we are all the same" while asymmetrical interactions send the message "I am special; better than you." Peer relationships are based on symmetry, power relationships are based on asymmetry.

Symmetry in aesthetics

The relationship of symmetry to aesthetics is complex. Certain simple symmetries, and in particular bilateral symmetry, seem to be deeply ingrained in the inherent perception by humans of the likely health or fitness of other living creatures.

The Golden Mean of 1.618

This is a ratio that is present in the growth patterns of many things. Both the ancient Greeks and the ancient Egyptians used the Golden Mean when designing their buildings and monuments. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci used this ratio when constructing his paintings. It is believed that the human form is at its most pleasing, the more nearly its parts divide into these golden sections. The ideal distance from the feet to the navel is approximately 1.618 times the distance from the navel to the top of the head.

Leonardo's symmetrical man was drawn over 500 years ago. Issues of order and disease are no less important today. Half a millennium on, we are still struggling to cope with chronic disease; Could some of it be related to departures from the symmetry that abounds in nature; the asymmetry of our structure.

The symmetry of the human and animal form and its role in health has been researched by others. Robin Baker and colleagues at Manchester University in England report that their studies have shown that from the speed of racehorses to the risk of breast cancer, heart disease, and the production of sperm, there is a correlation with symmetry. They also found that the evenest measurements on both sides of the body also measured up to when it came to sexual performance.

The concept of symmetry and it's synonymity with beauty has been amplified by various modern researchers. Victor Johnston, a psychologist at New Mexico State University, who has conducted a lot of research into the perception of beauty comments "I've realised that there is an enormous agreement between people as to what is beautiful. People from all over the world are amazingly consistent. Beauty does not seem to be relative. It does seem that there are universal proportions." Other researchers have found evidence that perhaps the perception of beauty is inborn. At the University of Texas, Dr. Judith Langlois has carried out research which indicates that even newborn babies stared significantly longer at so-called "attractive" faces. Could this outward appearance of beauty also be consistent with good health, intelligence, ability to survive and to procreate?

Symmetry's roll in conferring intelligence has been shown by the studies of Professor Randy Thornhill, professor of biology at the University of New Mexico found that symmetrical people scored higher in IQ tests. When one sees the stature of the fashion models at shows, the models not only have symmetrical bodies but also have symmetrical faces, jaws, and teeth. Perhaps health is also their prerogative.

Similar appearances of symmetry abound in athletes especially those from East Africa. Could their wide smiles hold the key to good health?

It is the authors experience that asymmetry of the human form is widespread and it is concomitant with ill health. For the average person, it is almost impossible to note that our faces can have a lot of inbuilt asymmetries. Ill health can almost be read from looking at the face alone. Body asymmetries tend to follow facial and head asymmetries resulting in numerous problems. While symmetry is the proud possession of the healthy it is imperative that we understand asymmetry and how we could correct it not only to prevent disease but also cure some chronic illnesses which have left many at the mercy of a drug culture with little respite in the level of their sickness but a continuous spiral downwards.

In this Website, we will embark on a journey of discovery, to find out the ultimate power of symmetry and its intricate and very finely tuned relationship with your overall health and perhaps lead the way for you to regain it if you have been chronically unwell.

Background

Today is 28 March 2019 and I am a 53 year-old female from the USA living in London these past 18 years. I’m a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant with an MBA and a long career as a global senior manager at a Big4 accounting firm. I started my career as an auditor for the first 8 years, progressing upward from there. I mention this background to highlight that it is my nature and trained approach to choose my words carefully and maintain a healthy scepticism, and I hope you will read my Multiple Sclerosis (MS) story bearing this in mind.

Medical background

I was diagnosed with MS at the age of 28 via MRI scans, spinal fluid analysis and observable conditions. I immediately performed research on my best options for health and then began the Dr. Roy Swank diet amongst other approaches. I experienced results similar to those that Dr. Swank observed in his 33-year study relevant to the neurological grade at which I started the diet (Swank and Dugan 72-73). My main complaints years before the diagnosis of MS at the age of 28 included headaches, clicking jaw, crowded mouth leading to the removal of all 4 wisdom teeth, ‘concrete-like’ jaw, daily headaches and migraines. My main intermittent complaints leading directly up to and after my MS diagnosis included Lhermitte’s sign, numbness on the face, loss of sight in one eye, spasticity, general limb weakness, dizziness, impacts to my cognitive function, severe fatigue, gradual decline of my sense of balance, and a host of other issues too numerous to mention that continued on and off for 15 years.

My MS Management Before Dr Amir

A Word on Drugs

I was told of my diagnosis by a well-respected neurologist in California. He had an open mind and presented me with a number of different options. Very soon after my diagnosis I read everything I could find on the subject and concluded that a drug approach would not be for me. It was explained to me that the drugs available at the time could only offer a reduction in the number of exacerbations and may cause me to experience a number of unpleasant side effects. My gut reaction was that I would have a better chance of dealing with MS ‘naturally.’

My Amir Experience

When I was 43, my husband brought home the Evening Standard write-up on Dr Amir and I went to see him. What he said made sense to me and I started his treatment. Within a few weeks, I was feeling much less fatigued and physically stronger. I experienced an ability to breathe more deeply than I’d ever been able to. This was the most noticeable difference. It was my husband, however, who pointed out, several months into the treatment, that I hadn’t complained about any MS issues for a while and we realized together I hadn’t had any evidence of MS since starting treatment with Dr Amir.

It has now been over three years since I’ve experienced any MS symptoms, save one, explained below. I’ve gone beyond simply the state of not experiencing MS. I can breathe to double capacity, have more energy, rarely experience a headache, can eat dairy! and chocolate, have a more attractive jaw-line and more prominent cheekbones.

My Watershed Moment

There was one symptom that came back and I’m so grateful it did. One of the first symptoms I experienced when I was 28 that prompted me to seek medical attention was Lhermitte’s sign, i.e., when I bent my head forward I felt tingling all down my back and the back of my legs. In September 2012, nearly 3 years since I’d had any exacerbations or any signs of having MS at all, my Lhermitte’s ‘scar’ reappeared during a particularly stressful time and I felt deflated.

I made an appointment with Dr Amir, and he made a new brace for me while I waited. Just before retiring that night, I felt the Lhermitte’s ‘scar’ and it reminded me to use the new brace for the instructed two minutes. Afterwards, I bent my head and the Lhermitte’s sign had completely disappeared and remained so. My ‘scar’ had healed in two minutes flat. As it sank in and I considered all I had thought about MS in light of this new ‘evidence’, I actually started to cry, a rare occurrence, because I knew at that moment that 22 years of fear, and hope, and of being careful; and my mother’s tears of fear for my potential bed-ridden life had been unnecessary. My jaw had needed to be realigned; I hadn’t had multiple sclerosis.

I felt relief and then anger and then gratefulness - gratefulness that I had had the fortune to cross paths with Dr. Amir, a new thinker, who has changed my life experience.

Message to Medical Professionals

I have had the fortune to be advised by some of the brightest medical practitioners around the world and I now hope they will allow their natural sense of curiosity to explore this surprising experience. It would have been wonderful to avoid those years of uncertainty. Those years, however, have made me who I am today, so it’s not so much a feeling of regret as one of anticipation. I am expecting great things from the medical profession in the future.

From a business perspective, it seems to be a very attractive proposition; except, obviously, to those in the business of managing symptoms. I see other applications for Dr Amir’s approach, beyond the avoidance of sickness, involving athletes and raising their performance. The physical strength and performance improvement I’ve experienced during my treatment, having been a weight lifter and competitive Irish dancer in my younger days, would definitely interest any athletes looking for an advantage.

Postscript:

I have hesitated to write my story, mostly because I have keep my diagnosis secret for so long, but something happened, however, over the 2013 Christmas break that made me change my mind. With conflicting holiday schedules and extensive travel plans, I went 4 weeks without wearing a brace. I experienced a number of issues mostly related to my neck, head, face and eyes that couldn’t be relieved with pain medicine. When I, completely exhausted, finally managed to see Dr.Amir after the holidays, it was within 10 minutes of wearing my new brace that everything cleared and it was dramatic. This story needs to be told now.

I have been symptom-free for the past 10 years, except for when I need an adjustment to my brace. Dr. Amir’s wisdom should be shouted from the rooftops. Why is no one curious? WHY is no medical provider curious about my story, and the story of so many like me experiencing these dramatic changes due to adjustments to the jaw? Why?

It terrifies me and breaks my heart to think that this wisdom is not being embraced by others and taken out to the world. Who will save the next generation from medical professionals who are not curious, who are not learning, whose minds are made up, and who do not fix the problem? Drugs are not the answer, and only when the doctor himself is diagnosed can he understand the panic, the terror, the willingness to do ANYTHING to be well. The option to see someone like Dr Amir MUST remain my right as a person, and a patient.

Whoever seeks to return me, and others like me, to ill health, must prepare themselves for a fight that will last until the moment we draw our last breath. No one fights harder, and with more ferocity, than someone who is fighting for her life.

Here is my Google Review

I am a 52 year old American living in London these past 18 years; I work at one of the largest professional services organisations in the world as part of the global management team. At 28 I was diagnosed with MS in California, and they said I would likely be in a wheelchair in the not too distant future. Moving to the UK and my husband's reading of an article in the Evening Standard changed my life. The article mentioned that Dr Amir was helping people with MS, and within 3 months of that day I no longer had 'MS.' And 10 years later I can say the same...

Finally, after a 19-year journey to a symptom-free life, Dr Amir was the final answer to my quest to be free from MS. It's all about oxygen and alignment, and Dr Amir is the artist /engineer/scientist/ dental surgeon that is setting the standard. He doesn't give up! It was only 3 months into my treatment when I noticed some profound changes. My MS was considered relapsing-remitting but my balance had been getting progressively worse. All that changed when I met Dr Amir and I haven't had an MS symptom for 10 years. I've returned to my original strength. I wear his device at night and that keeps me in tip-top shape. Thank you for giving me back my life Dr Amir!

The maxillo-facial surgeon advising the GDC about my website, says:

"The cause of Multiple Sclerosis is unknown. It's considered an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system malfunctions destroying myelin (the fatty substance that coats and protects nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. It is not associated or caused by TMD."

Comment: In the first breath they do not know what causes 'MS'. In the second breath, they do. It is, of course, the money-spinning autoimmune problem rearing its ugly head again!

Such deception is what has crippled society and making our health services unaffordable. This collusion with the established false mantra by some neurologists and other cronies is crippling and killing patients.

One blockbuster drug, supposed to treat this 'autoimmune disease' is actually an anti-fungal and sells for £40,000 a year per patient.

When was MS declared a 'fungal disease'? Never!

Neurologists have conveniently divided the disease into 'primary, relapsing and remitting' which they purport, can be treated with steroids to start with and then with extremely expensive drugs. Their claim is that these drugs delay the onset of the 'secondary' killer stage of 'MS' when no drug will work.

The initial use of steroids raises serious questions. I wonder what came first? The damage from steroid use often causing irreparable incapacity or 'Multiple Sclerosis'.

The use of steroids, as a first line drug, for the treatment of the supposed 'MS' symptoms, sets the patient up for more illness. I do not know if this is done knowingly or unknowingly. If they read the experience of a senior neurologist than I expect they should NEVER use steroids. But this is not so. This very dangerous drug is used very routinely.

This is what a senior neurologist wrote about the complications which may be visited upon patients by the use of steroids:

“In general I try and avoid high-dose steroids to treat acute relapses simply because of the potential complications. This case report is a reminder of one of the rare complications of this treatment; i.e. a clot in one of the venous sinuses that drain blood from the brain of an MSer. I have seen this complication myself and it can be life-threatening; I have seen people die as a result of venous sinus thrombosis.

The more common serious adverse event linked to high-dose steroids is avascular necrosis of the hip; this is when the blood vessel that supplies blood to the hip becomes blocked and the hip dies. I will never forget one of my first MSers I looked after when I was completing my training at Queen Square; he was a 23 years old and developed bilateral avascular necrosis of the hip after his first course of high dose steroids (1g methylprednisolone x 3 days). He subsequently required bilateral hip replacements. Since then I have seen several other MSers with unilateral AVN from steroids. The other serious adverse event that scares the hell out of me is psychosis; thankfully I have only had one MSers under my care that had to be sectioned because of psychosis.”

When the patients reach an irreparable stage of the disease in spite of using the rip-off priced "Disease Modifying Therapies" (DMTs) meaning immune system killing drugs, the neurologists are very apologetic as per this comment I discovered on a blog run by neurologists:

“The realisation that the DMTs have failed leads to the re-emergence of grief and the five emotional stages that go with it. The anger is more often than not directed at the medical team for being impotent to stop the disease; exposing our false promises, which were made to give you hope."

I hasten to add, @£40,000 drug cost per patient per anum - you were not just misleading the patient but cheating the whole country out of billions of pounds.

What blatant deception!
Such deception needs a police investigation!

The above quote was perhaps an inadvertent admission about the utter failure of MS treatment through drugs by a top neurologist who is a very strong advocate of giving drugs at the very first sign of any symptom purported to be 'MS' related.

Wikipedia describes Ataxia as:

Ataxia is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements that can include gait abnormality, speech changes, and abnormalities in eye movements. Ataxia is a clinical manifestation indicating dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum. Several possible causes exist for these patterns of neurological dysfunction. Dystaxia is a mild degree of ataxia. Friedreich's ataxia has gait abnormality as the most commonly presented symptom"

"One of my colleagues, Dr. Siegfried Trefzer, from the Hightree medical clinic specialising in integrative medicine when discussing ataxia writes:

"In my understanding Ataxia itself is a term used for a group of disorders that affect coordination, postural balance, speech, most voluntary movements such as gripping and the selective engagement of muscle groups but also automated movements e.g. the ability to swallow, to walk etc. At some stage, my patient was simultaneously affected by all of these dysfunctions to a various degree."

"Ataxia" is a very broad term. Anyone with a walking disability will have a number of other problems also but I shall confine this article to walking disabilities.

This is an excerpt from my 2009 article on "http://dramir.com/articles.php?t=3 >" where I first wrote about "Gait" problems. This includes Ataxia:

"The cranium becomes unlevel leading to an asymmetry of the eyes and the back of the head called the occiput which physically alters the shape of the cerebellum leading to problems with fine motor control of the skeletal muscles and also causing problems like dyslexia which has been shown to be centered in the cerebellar area of the brain.

Neurological disturbances, other than the Hypoglossal nerve affect a number of other important nerves:
1. The Vagus and the Cervical Sympathetic chain: The effects of asymmetry here can affect the function of many organs in the body, leading to digestive and blood pressure problems.

By courtesy of Atlantotec Germany

2. The internal jugular vein and the Carotid artery: These lie in close proximity to each transverse process with the artery and vein lying anteriorly. The asymmetry would compromise the blood flow through these vessels. This asymmetry may also be responsible for the recently discovered obstruction of these veins in what is termed as Chronic CerebroSpinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) in cases of Multiple Sclerosis.

3. The Phrenic nerve: This nerve supplies the diaphragm. Disturbances here can lead to a reduced breathing capacity. After Atlas correction, we have seen immediate improvement in the patient's breathing capacity in a majority of cases which is an absolutely phenomenal finding.

4. The vertebral artery: This artery traverses through the transverse process of the Atlas. The blood flow through it can be reduced, leading to a lesser flow on one side of the cerebellum than the other perhaps contributing to gait and vision problems."

My more recent article on Jaw asymmetry explains cerebellar insufficiencies more succinctly:

"In the picture opposite, I have shown the basic disturbance in our cranium in terms of rotating cogs. When the lower jaw is pushed back, it causes the temporal bone to rotate forwards while the occipital bone lifts upwards causing all kinds of head and neck problems e.g. migraines, neck pain, suboccipital muscle pain, and shoulder pain. These are dental problems and can only be corrected through dental interventions, not medical pills.

When the cerebellum lifts up on one side, a little recognised fact, but easily demonstrable, it disturbs the symmetry of the cerebellum and the blood flow through the vertebral artery because the Atlas vertebra also rotates forwards on the affected side. This can cause all kinds of movement disorders and may also affect the eyes. Please read my article on Visual snow. The hypoglossal nerve which innervates the tongue also emanates from the occipital bone close to the occipital condyles. Any asymmetry here can also potentially affect speech and swallowing. Some medical syndromes chiefly cerebellar ataxia, have these groups of symptoms occurring together namely, gait disorder, eye problems, speech, and swallowing issues. No pill can ever fix that so patients get pigeonholed into syndromes or medical conundrums.

Testimonials on Gait, Ataxia:
1. EF wrote:

I developed a lot of balance and gait problems. I was very unsteady on my feet and could no longer walk much. I fell over a lot, so in July 2006 I made an appointment to see my Neurologist, who concluded that because of the past 30 years of my medical history, I was actually suffering from Secondary Progressive MS..............
".....Mr Amir explained that the rest was a domino effect causing various asymmetries in my cranium especially in the occiput causing an imbalance of my cerebellum resulting in poor fine motor control. He checked and found that my Atlas vertebra was asymmetric causing my hips to be unlevel. He concluded that all this was causing my gait problems. He said that his treatment could perhaps address all these issues.
I embarked on Dr. Amir’s treatment and rapidly gained control of my gait within a very short space of time. I can now walk for a long distance and many of my other symptoms have eased or disappeared."

2. PB writes:

"Our only regret is that we didn't make that phone call earlier but I really didn't think the ambulation issue could be dealt with. We had become resolved that despite the huge improvements in certain other areas of the MS symptoms, the walking restrictions were not going to improve. We were wrong and are just pleased and relieved we made that initial trip to Putney to see this remarkable doctor. He's outspoken, yet profoundly eloquent. He has a dry and sometimes caustic wit, yet is extremely charming and caring. He takes on lost causes, yet produces remarkable improvements in so many cases. He challenges traditional, orthodox thinking, yet intellectually justifies what he does and why he does it and then puts it into practice. Most importantly of all, he produces results that change peoples lives - we were so lucky to find him and his team and would not hesitate in recommending his services are called upon at the earliest opportunity."

3. AG writes:

"When my daughter was 25, she had a devastating stroke-like episode and was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis; afterward, she was constantly in incredible pain. The after effects included loss of vision, inability to walk, weakness down her left side, twisted her jaw, terrible migraine headaches, trapped nerves in her neck and back, numbness throughout her body, vertigo, uncontrollable tremors and much more........... I am grateful every day that I found that random search result that led us to the brilliant Dr. Amir and his pioneering work."
[This patient has almost totally recovered from her supposed MS]

4. JO writes:

"2 years after the last baby was born, the MS returned with a vengeance. I was relapsing every 3 months. I seemed to be continually “ill” and started to experience motor nerves lost. My left side was becoming weaker; I walked with a limp etc… The bone grafts in my jaw seemed to have worn out, as I started dislocating it again. A crash course for my husband in how to relocate it was given by a very concerned dentist.

5. JC writes:

I had presented initially with an ataxic style gait and was struggling to walk with a steady, tandem gait. MRI scans revealed some possible inflammation or demyelination high up in my brain but no conclusions were reached. I was nervous and felt I was losing my mobility to the point where I would need to use a stick. However, since beginning my orthodontic treatment, my last scan in 2018, showed no further degeneration and my balance, gait and coordination are much improved.

Emotionally, I am so much more confident and positive since starting my treatment with Dr. Amir. For years, I was told my bruxism was down to stress, never to do with my bite but now I understand that the constant use of an array of night guards and splints only added to the problem.
I truly believe that I have found someone in Dr. Amir, who has a thorough understanding of my entire situation and I look forward to continuing improving health and well being under his diligent care.

The influence of occlusal stabilization appliances on cervical dystonia symptoms
In a research article Romanian researchers CAMELIA NAVROTCHI and MÎNDRA EUGENIA BADEA report the improvements in mobility with the use of an occlusal appliance:

Results
"The OSA was applied on the lower arch in 3 (27.3%) patients and on the upper arch in 8 (72.7%) patients. The OSA wearing time for the first 24 h was on average 19.2±6 hours. Total relaxation of dystonic muscles was reported by 9 (81.8%) patients, while 2 (18.2%) patients related to partial muscle relaxation. Seven (63.6%) patients reported a pain decrease. Increased comfort while walking was observed by 8 (72.7%) patients. Two (18.2%) patients described an increase of sleep quality. In two (18.2%) patients the tremor disappeared. All patients reported difficulties while eating and removed the OSA during meals. Patients who wore the OSA for more hours, experienced a pain decrease (p=0.08), an increase in sleep quality (p=0.1), the disappearance of the tremor (p=0.1). After three months, only seven patients continued to use the OSA. More patients described a pain decrease after three months (5 (71.4%) vs. 4 (57.1%); p=0.5), relaxation of dystonic muscles (7 (100%) vs. 6 (85.7%); p=0.3)."

6. WT wrote:

"The journey up was awful, I felt ‘drunk’ but with the feeling of a very bad hangover all mixed into one. My walking reflected how I felt too. Luckily my husband took the day off to drive me up as I could not possibly manage the train journey and certainly not on my own. He dropped me at his surgery door and planned to pick me up after my appointment.
Dr Amir decided on a certain appliance fitted in my mouth. This immediately and miraculously started improving my condition
After leaving the surgery I found myself walking for the five to ten minutes to the car on my own. This I would not have been able to do previously. I felt steady on my feet instead of staggering. My husband was shocked when he saw me walking on my own up to the car."

7. CH wrote:

Astonishingly Dr. Amir proved his theory by demonstrating that I could walk instantly with less pain if my jaw was properly aligned. I could not believe the sense of relief I got from this experience and how much hope it gave me to really believe that Dr. Amir's symmetry treatment will finally eradicate my gout.

8. SW wrote:

...but just walking normally was difficult. What I didn't realise was that most, if not all of it was down to my spine/shoulder girdle and pelvis not being aligned correctly.
Now that I have been rebalanced, I actually feel amazingly different - no knee or hip pain and I feel completely balanced. It has put a big, big smile on my face and I am recommending you to some of my friends, who have not been able to resolve neck or back problems.
In the last week I have completed a charity walk of 13 miles, cycled to my parents and back (35 miles) and played in a squash tournament - with no pain whatsoever!

9. Walking taller

As I explained when I saw you, I noticed a big difference immediately after my appointment. As I walked back to the station I felt taller and as if I was standing up and walking straight for the first time ever. The change was so pronounced I could feel muscles working in my lower back that I had not been aware of before, and it almost felt as if I was leaning backward.
By the next day, it felt like my back had adjusted and it was as if I had always been straight. My posture feels much better when standing and walking (although I still seem to slouch sitting down). Before the appointment, the bones in my upper spine and neck used to click frequently and quite loudly. This has reduced although not completely disappeared.
Rachel, July 2008

10. Walking differently

Dr Amir!
It is amazing! I'm constantly looking around behind me because I can't believe how well my neck is working! I can feel that I am standing and walking differently, and I have no difficulty keeping good posture, it feels so natural! I wish you had done it 30 years ago for me, in fact, my body feels like you have taken 30 years off it! I feel like it should be checked for everyone in the world!
Renata, September 2008

11. Serious hip distortion causing severe pain

I must include the views of a maxillo-facial surgeon giving his expert advice to the GDC about this website complaining that I do not give a balanced view. I think including his comments balances the picture:

The official GDC advisor says:

"Mr Amir claims on his website that TMD causes a wide variety of systemic conditions, this contention is not supported by the literature or a reasonable body of dental/medical opinion."

Comment:

"The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking."
John Kenneth Galbraith

The 2 most prestigious journals of medicine in the world are The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine. Richard Horton, editor in chief of The Lancet said this in 2015:

“The case against science is straightforward. Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half may simply be untrue.”

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of NEJM wrote in 2009 that:

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor”

Therefore, both medical literature and opinion are mostly corrupt. I think I would print it if truth and altruism were to prevail.

If I did not have reports like this from one of my many pain patients, I would surely print the successes of medicine. Here is a patients' responses about previous treatment for back ache. She has now almost fully recovered from severe back ache which had made her bed-ridden for many months.
