"I’m so impressed with the care Dr Amir is providing. He is so much more than a typical dentist. I’m 3 months into my treatment and I’ve already seen major improvements in a number of areas that were massively affecting the quality of my life. I have a series of conditions including TMD, Tinnitus, Hyperacusis, regular migraines, insomnia (sleep apnoea), chronic neck pain, chronic upper back pain, lower back pain, chronic knee pain, hip pain, and stabilisation surgery after a dislocated shoulder.

I have spent over 15k on various medical professionals including specialist consultant doctors, physiotherapists and other dentists. All of my conditions were being treated separately. I’ve had an awful time. Then I meet Dr Amir. What a relief!!!

At our initial appointment, he spent a huge amount of time examining me ensuring no stone was left unturned. He acquired a holistic understanding of my symptoms all of which pointed to a TMJ disorder. Dr Amir diagnosed me (when no one else could) explaining all my symptoms are linked to the jaw. This was of huge relief to hear as I felt like I was falling apart.

I’m only 37-years old and I’ve always considered myself to be strong until I had my wisdom teeth were taken out when I was 30. I did have TMD issues before this as a result of 4 other teeth taken out when I was 12 and some altercations I got into when I was younger. After 30 my health soon took a nose drive and I couldn’t understand why. Dr Amir explained it was because my jaw had become misaligned as a result of the removal of my teeth, my jaw moved into an unnatural position. This explained many if not all of my symptoms.

Even though I’m only 3 months into my treatment my jaw is in a better position, as a result, I have seen dramatic improvements in all symptoms. Most importantly my sleep and Tinnitus. I’m now sleeping on average 7 hours a night and that’s been happening for the last 2 months. The Tinnitus is far more manageable improving up to 50%.

I can’t recommend Dr Amir enough. He has a professorial understanding of cranial functionality and the jaw which seems unique to his field. His website is testament to his deep understanding whereby he has written many papers explaining the problems that occur as a result of TMJ disorders. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the practice, this isn’t a flashy central London Wimpole Street practice, nor does he charge the high fees that those dentists charge, but the treatment and service is far superior.

I’m now convinced that Dr Amir will enable me to make a full recovery."

Some scientific backing:

Night terrors typically revolve around dreams where the sufferer experiences very realistic looking scenes about various threats e.g. a wild animal attacking them, the experience of them or a close relation drowning or an intruder in the bedroom attacking them.

The fear during an episode is intense and terrifying. The sufferer tries to wake up but feels paralysed unable to produce a sound or movement. When finally able to, the sufferer might wake up in a state of terror, screaming and often gasping for air.

A companion sharing the bedroom is often not able to get them out of their state for a few seconds even when grabbing and shaking them awake.

On waking, there may be profound sweatiness, a fast heart rate and a high blood pressure reading.

Most people recover from the experience, remembering little of the nightmare, but in others, the real horror starts if their rapidly beating heart goes into fibrillation towards the end of such an occurrence.

Little research has been done on night terrors because of the nature of the problem. PET scans of the brain are impossible while the patient is experiencing such a trauma. Some hypotheses attribute the cause to environmental triggers, others suggest it is genetic while yet more suggest it is a chemical imbalance amenable to treatment with anti-depressants.

Anti-depressants fail to help but may cause serious adverse reactions. Considering the high blood pressure component of the experience some patients are prescribed beta-blockers.

While researching the internet I came across the epidemiology of night terrors where it appears that patients suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) have a higher incidence of night terrors than those not suffering from OSA. The key feature of OSA is the deprivation of sufficient breathing capacity and consequently insufficient oxygenation.

Such patients have a poor sleep quality and are often very tired during the day not having had a deep restful sleep because they are constantly fighting to breathe adequately throughout the night.

It probably follows that hypo-oxygenation in patients suffering from OSA is perhaps more likely to be the driver for the night terrors.

If this is correct then prescribing such patients beta-blockers can seriously aggravate the condition due to their propensity to cause bronchospasms further depriving the body of oxygen and causing a racing heart.

When there is insufficient oxygen because of depressed breathing ability, which is at its worst when a patient is asleep, the heart has to beat faster to supply the body with oxygen. The rapidly beating heart is also short of oxygen itself and this deprivation may upset its rhythm sending it into an arrhythmia.

At the same time, there is also hypo-perfusion of the brain especially the cerebellum. I suggest the possible cerebellar involvement because many night terrors leave the patient paralysed unable to physically wake themselves up to get rid of this terror. Fine motor movement is a function of the cerebellar areas of the brain.

A possible explanation is derived from patient experiences. They find that their jaws are not comfortable. They often report multiple health problems like migraines, neck pain, back pain, chronic fatigue etc.

Examining the patients shows generally that the patients' teeth are in an asymmetric position which gives rise to Temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). This causes the Atlas vertebrae (The first vertebrae on which the skull rests) to rotate compensating for the jaw asymmetry.

This rotation leads to occipital (the base of the skull) asymmetry which lifts one side of the occiput upwards, affecting the contents of this part of the skull which is the cerebellum.
The function of the cerebellum is further affected because the transverse process of the rotated Atlas vertebrae which pinches the neurological and vascular structures which lie in the proximity of this bone.

Diminished blood flows through the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA), the Vertebral Artery (VA) and also the drainage through the Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) on the affected side.

The obstruction of blood flow through the IJV is a serious issue as it creates back pressure in the brain affecting cerebrospinal fluid flow also and is implicated in instances of 'Multiple Sclerosis'. 'MS' causation, however, is not the subject of this article.

The reduced oxygenation and reduced blood flow probably leads to hypo-perfusion of the cerebellum and higher brain centres on the affected side perhaps temporarily causing the incapacity to move, patients experience during a night terror.

The heart initially becomes tachycardic to enable better oxygenation of the body in the presence of diminished lung ventilation but when further deprived of oxygen the heart muscle starts beating erratically which may eventually precipitate atrial fibrillation in some patients. The patient is unable to recover from this situation and has to be hospitalised.

It is my contention that the brain starts the nightmare terror to try and wake up the patient from this impending harm from a low oxygen level. Repeated episodes of AF result in regular hospitalisations and a serious worry for the patients and their families. Heart ablation procedures follow!

The recommended preventive measure is a dental intervention to help restore breathing capability when asleep. This strategy has lead to amazing recovery in the first two patients I have seen to recently as per the testimonial below:

"Dear Dr Amir,

I presented at your office a year ago when during one of my visits with my wife, you kindly consented to have a quick look at my back pain which had been plaguing me for the previous 25 years.

At the time, I mentioned that I had previously suffered from atrial fibrillation [AF] and I had been treated with cardioversion [a procedure to electrically shock the heart back into sinus rhythm].

At the time, what I failed to tell you is that I had had not one, but two sets of cardioversion, The first one was in November 2018 and while successful I only remained in normal sinus rhythm for 5 days after which my AF returned.

At that point, I was referred back to my consultant cardiologist who suggested a second cardioversion but gave little hope for a successful outcome and was very concerned that I would almost certainly require an 'Ablation procedure' if my AF recurred following the second cardioversion. He had warned me how dangerous such a procedure could turn out to be and I was petrified of getting another attack of AF.

I proceeded to have the second cardioversion in February 2019 this was again successful in returning my heart into a normal rhythm but both my cardiologist and I were very anxious that the AF would return.

As luck would have it, it was just a few days later that you first examined me for my ongoing back problems and I mentioned to you that I was also suffering from horrific nightmares.

After examining me and establishing a cause for my backache you also commented that I could not breathe adequately. You were very keen to treat me for both the backache and possibly for my nightmares. You did warn me that your hypothesis for nightmares and AF may not work out.

I had written to you before, that I recovered from my 25-year backache within a few days of starting the treatment. Another sign that led me to believe that you were on the right track was that for as long as I can remember whenever I lay down to sleep I would find myself struggling to breathe through my nose and would ultimately need to open my mouth to try and get enough air, I had always assumed this was normal.

The very first night that I wore the brace that you made for me I was able to lie down and sleep the night through, comfortably breathing through my nose with my mouth firmly shut. This has continued to this day, a whole year since you first started treating me.

I now wish to inform you that since starting the treatment I have had no nightmares, no fast heart rate and no episodes of Atrial Fibrillation. In fact, my nightmares have turned into pleasant dreams which I can remember on waking up. My private cardiologist is equally intrigued. Your intervention has been a saviour at a very perilous moment in my life.

Thank you for getting me out of my nightmares and my AF episodes.
Stuart"

Comment: If my hypothesis turns out to be correct it could save thousands from very serious life-threatening atrial fibrillations, the risk of stroke and possible premature disability or even death. It could save patients from having an ablation procedure with it's inherent dangers and unpredictable outcomes. It would reduce A&E admissions and save the NHS billions of pounds over the years.
Please read my hypothesis on "Visual Snow" which turned out to be very viable.

"What is dying?
I am standing on the seashore.
A ship sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object and I stand watching her
Till at last, she fades from the horizon,
And someone at my side says, “She is gone!” Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all;
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her,
And just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her;
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “She is gone”,
There are others, who are watching her coming,
And other voices take up a glad shout,
“There she comes” – and that is dying."

" ... and death is only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing, save the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, O'Lord, that we may see further..."

― Charles Henry Brent.

However, all this sentiment does not take away the pain of seeing my sister euthanised in hospital. This article ventures into the heartache that families are suffering day in and day out in our hospitals. It is easy to understand if death is caused by natural events but hard to accept when attributable to total and callous mismanagement by those that we have been blinded into trusting. Those, that in my opinion, perhaps engineer such eventualities.

A recent newspaper article says:

EUTHANASIA IS RIFE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

"It has been a well-documented fact for years that hundreds of patients die every year of starvation and thirst in NHS hospitals, a phenomenon that is facilitated by ambiguous end-of-life treatment guidelines that allow doctors and nurses to arbitrarily classify a person as “dying” and to withhold nutrition, hydration, and other basic forms of life support with no danger of punishment.

The practice of starving and dehydrating patients who have been written off as “dying” has made the NHS’s “palliative care” policy into nothing less than a euthanasia program, in which the diagnosis of a “fatal” condition becomes self-fulfilling. The result is a system for eliminating patients for whom death is said to be “in their best interests,” using reasoning and methods chillingly reminiscent of Third Reich hospitals in the 1940s."

A Daily Mail newspaper article says:

"The practices which led to the deaths of hundreds of patients at Gosport War Memorial Hospital are widespread in the health service, experts warned last night.

Patients’ lives are being deliberately shortened by doctors and nurses, they claimed.

One leading health academic said NHS staff were routinely hastening death through a ‘lethal combination’ of sedatives and dehydration.

Professor Patrick Pullicino said it was commonplace for doctors to ‘diagnose’ the impending death of their patients – and then put them out of their ‘perceived misery’.

A second expert, Professor Brian Jarman, said it was ‘likely’ that a Gosport-style scandal was already happening elsewhere."

I have absolutely no doubt about this ghastly practice having witnessed it firsthand.

What is important is to realise that patients are being polypharacised with lethal drug combinations which can only lead to incurable complications thus often necessitating euthanising the patients. The patients demise also takes care of the witness to the crime of polypharmacy.


For the last few months of my sister's life, she had been prescribed two potent blood thinners; apixaban and clopidogrel together, apart from another 10 drugs.

The warning on the internet is:
"Using apixaban together with clopidogrel may increase the risk of bleeding, including severe and sometimes fatal haemorrhage." From what I have researched only taking one of these drugs is lethal but, both together, a patient has absolutely no chance of survival if they get even a slight bleed in their brains.

It is claimed that "these drugs reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke". Nothing could be further from the truth. If a proper audit is undertaken it wll more than likely show the exact opposite. The deaths have probably sky rocketed.

My sister succumbed to a fatal brain haemorrhage after they purported that because of other problems (all started due to the polypharmacy she was subjected to), she could not be saved.

Such polypharmacy is nothing short of a criminal act conducted while the authorities are in oblivion or in collusion with the enactors. No audit is ever carried out regarding the outcomes of treatment by the perpetrators of this unwarranted polypharmacy which is rampant in multiple hospital departments.

Polypharmacy IS the biggest threat to seniors’ health, quality of life and longevity. A Daily Telegraph article reads: "Age UK said the rise of “polypharmacy” was putting lives at risk, with three-quarters likely to suffer adverse reactions to at least one of their drugs.

The research found that the number of emergency hospital admissions linked to such side-effects has risen by 53 per cent in seven years, with some cases proving fatal."

Millions are seriously endangered. The drug pedlars get clean away while patients sue the NHS and the hospitals instead of the shooter; the doctor, shooting lethal drug combinations into patients.

This does not happen when one shoots a bullet. The gun shooter never gets away.


At the time, I wrote to a senior cardiologist at a major London Hospital along with a video record of the drugs. I informned him that my sister had been prescribed four blood thinners concomitantly namely, Xarelto (She just was blinded by this blood thinner in one eye because of an uncontrollable bleed.), aspirin, clopidogrel, and 5 mg warfarin.

His reply was:
"This is a scary example of polypharmacy but inexcusable that she should be on both Xarelto and warfarin plus clopidogrel and aspirin, huge risk of major bleed, I assume she is not taking all 4?
Please see the attached paper to see how bad things are re polypharmacy, it's no fun getting old in the UK especially if you rattle with tablets!"

I deeply regret treating this murder attempt lightly and not reporting the matter to the police at the time. I had already advised her against this lethal combination.

She is not alone. I have a paramedic patient who informed me that recently he had picked up a patient on 30 different drugs. He gets alarmed on a daily basis at the number of drugs patients are on. He has to ferry them to hospital for vaious complications and according to him he feels it is most likely that this is due to the drugs they are on.

I have compiled a drug interaction report below for my sisters drugs.

I think pharmacists who are playing an increasingly bigger role in dispensing such combinations be obliged to provide their patients such reports AND refer them back to the prescribibg clinicians for a review before dispensing.

This will save a lot of harm and save a lot of money very fast. It will also bring down the iatrogenically created waiting times at A & E admissions vastly.

Drug Interaction Report

My sister was on 12 different medications.

This report displays the potential drug interactions for 10 of them. The individual adverse effects of each drug is also listed after the interactions report.• Nifedipine
• Bisacodyl
• Bisoprolol
• Ramipril
• Ferrous fumarate
• Doxazosin
• Lansoprazole
• Ezetimibe
• Clopidogrel
• Apixaban

Interactions between these drugs
Using apixaban together with clopidogrel increases the risk of bleeding, including severe and sometimes fatal haemorrhage.

Combining these medications reduces the effectiveness of clopidogrel in preventing heart attack or stroke.

Nifedipine increases the blood levels of apixaban, which may result in a higher risk of bleeding complications.

Bisoprolol and nifedipine have additive effects in lowering blood pressure and heart rate. Patients may experience headache, dizziness, light-headedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heartbeat.

This combination has additive effects on lowering blood pressure.

Using doxazosin and bisoprolol together has increased effects on blood pressure. This combination is more likely to cause side effects such as dizziness, weakness, headache, and flushing, fainting, and irregular heartbeat.

Using doxazosin and ramipril together can have increased effects on blood pressure. Patients are more likely to experience side effects such as dizziness, weakness, headache, and flushing, fainting, and irregular heartbeat.

by reducing stomach acid, lansoprazole may reduce the absorption of iron and make ferrous fumarate less effective in treating anaemia.

Drug and food interactions
Patients must not consume grapefruits or grapefruit juice which can significantly increase the blood levels and effects of medications like nifedipine. Patients are more likely to experience side effects such as headache, low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, swelling, and fluid retention.

Patients on Ramipril should avoid moderately high or high potassium dietary intake. This can cause high levels of potassium in the bloodstream and may lead to fatal cardiac arrhythmias.

The recommended maximum number of medicines in the 'cardiovascular agents' category to be taken concurrently is usually four. My sisters list includes five medicines belonging to the 'cardiovascular agents' category:
• Nifedipine
• Bisoprolol
• Ramipril
• Doxazosin
• Ezetimibe

The recommended maximum number of medicines in the 'antihypertensives' category to be taken concurrently is usually two. My sisters list includes four medicines belonging to the 'antihypertensives' category:
• Nifedipine
• Bisoprolol
• Ramipril
• Doxazosin


is a calcium channel antagonists. (Similar drug in widespread use is amlodipine)
Short acting 20mg daily.
Common side effects include light-headedness, headache, feeling tired, leg swelling, cough, and shortness of breath. Serious side effects may include low blood pressure and heart failure.

The intense vasodilatation and hypotension this drug can induce may lead to reflex tachycardia, which can be detrimental for patients with ischemic symptoms because of the resulting increase in myocardial oxygen demand (hypoxia).

The keywords here are "tachycardia" and "myocardial hypoxia". These are key factors in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) which is rife amongst patients taking such drugs and they are often subjected to further assaults on their hearts through ablation procedures INSTEAD of stopping these lethal drugs.

Astonishingly, my sister had come off the sister drug amlodipine, some two years earlier, which had given her hugely swollen lower legs almost akin to elephantiasis. She could not walk or meet minimal activity requirements. She had also developed nephropathy from the long-term anti-diuretic to stem the swelling albeit, completely unsuccessfully.

The doctors kept telling her that the swelling was from her heart failure but the swelling resolved a few weeks after the amlodipine was withdrawn. In spite of this, she was a 'confirmed heart failure patient in need of more medications'.

Ironically, I just came across another patient who had just been fitted with a pacemaker because of a consistently low heart rate. This was an excellent treatment BUT soon thwarted by a prescription of amlodipine with all its inherent adverse effects. I think these drugs should not be called therapeutic agents but the cardiology business generators!

Nifedipine increases the proteinuria in such patients causing further symptoms, which cannot be controlled unless one is taken off this drug. In cardiology, it appears that this does not happen; one uses more drugs.

The risk of the interaction with other NUMEROUS cardiovascular and antihypertensive drugs being used concomitantly outweighs any benefit. She should never have been prescribed either amlodipine or nifedipine. These caused serious pain, discomfort, insecurity, complications, decline and damage to her health.

On the internet forums, some 70% of patients posted very negative reviews about nifedipine.

The only benefit appears to be in advanced cases of Reynaud's disease patients and then again if used for very serious cases and only during the winter months and dose-adjusted according to need with close monitoring of any cardiovascular events consequential upon its use.

My rating for this drug as a therapeutic agent for high BP or heart problems is Nil and in fact runs into negative territory.

This drug is used for constipation. A patient best describes its effects:
"I am at the stage of lying on the bathroom floor with a pillow. First timer, took two bisacodyl at 2 pm. It is now 10 pm and the pain is excruciating and has lasted about 2 hours. I have been to the toilet no less than 12 times so now it looks like I will be sleeping here. I am just wondering when the pain will end. I was also nauseous for the first few hours and keep feeling like I might throw up from how bad the pain is. Wish I had read these reviews first"

Regular use can seriously affect electrolyte levels and heart function. No such warning had been given to her.

Bisoprolol, is a beta-blocker and one of the most commonly prescribed drug for cardiac patients. It is purported that it controls high blood pressure but the mechanism of action to achieve this is not shown anywhere. In medicine, it is assumed that heart rate determines the blood pressure when there is absolutely no truth in this broad assumption and perhaps this fallacy allows them to make such a claim.

It is claimed that it controls chest pain from not enough blood flow to the heart and helps in heart failure. A contradictory claim as its action is supposed to diminish heart function through the blockage of β1 adrenergic receptors. In fact, it would worsen heart failure and bring a rapid end to the life of a heart failure patient.

Common listed side effects include headache, feeling tired, diarrhoea and swelling in the legs . This last effect might not be attributable to beta-blockers because patients actually report extreme cramps and unbearably cold legs and feet. This is from a vaso-constrictive effect on the leg vasculature rather than a dilatory effect.

In fact, instead of reducing high blood pressure beta-blockers would skyrocket the blood pressure. I have seen figures of 240/140 with 1.25mg of bisoprolol. The patient had never before experienced more than 170/110 with other high BP medication.

More severe side effects include worsening asthma – a condition my sister had suffered all her life. The advice is not to use a beta-blocker in asthmatic patients because of their propensity to cause bronchospasm and consequentially tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, stroke and possibly death. No such precaution was ever taken.

It is claimed that bisoprolol can be used to treat coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, ischemic heart diseases, and myocardial infarction after the acute event. No substantiation of such nefarious claims is available nor the mode of such action.

Bisoprolol certainly causes extreme fatigue at diminutive doses such as the 1.25mg that my sister had been prescribed. Patients are commonly prescribed much higher doses, which regularly kill tens of thousands of patients right around the world. Please read this article "Medicine Or Mass Murder? Guideline Based on Discredited Research May Have Caused 800,000 Deaths In Europe Over The Last 5 Years"

The literature does not mention what these medicines do to gut motility. Intestinal gangrene is a serious complication. Every patient has also prescribed laxatives at the very outset, the doctors fully expecting that constipation will be caused by the use of beta-blockers.

If the hospitals carry out bona fide independent audits it will be clear that beta-blockers should never be prescribed to any patient. Such audits, checks and balances are nonexistent in our hospitals and most specialist departments get away with outcomes, which would register close to ZERO or run into negative territory across MOST hospital disciplines.

My rating for this drug as a therapeutic agent for high BP or heart problems is Nil and in fact runs into minus territory

Some years ago I had a patient who was fine one visit but six months later when presenting for a dental checkup looked extremely frail and debilitated. I was shocked to see him in such a state. He had been my patient for some 30 years. He informed me that he was on Ramipril after being diagnosed with slightly elevated blood pressure. He pointed to his fingernails saying that Ramipril had caused a wedge-shaped loss of the nail. The surrounding damaged edges of the nail and nailbed were black in colour.

He was dead within a month of his visit.

More recently another patient turned up who was falling all over the place - this after a recent previous visit when he was fine. He was on Ramipril. He had white blanched patches on his face from capillary constriction. I wanted to send him to hospital but he would not have it. I had to phone his wife to warn her that his situation was very serious and she needed to contact his doctor to discuss the drug - Ramipril.

I saw him a month later when he was as fit as he had always been. He said that I probably saved his life. He had come off Ramipril and had refused to take any other medication being offered to him.

He had made considerable changes to his eating habits and had adopted walking and exercise routines. He reported that his blood pressure had come down without the drug and that he had never felt better.

On reflection, I can remember many other patients suddenly looking extremely frail and then after a couple of routine visits I never saw them again. I thought that they had probably changed dentists but the truth is probably dire.

An article in the Daily Mail about the ace inhibitor Ramipril says:
Patients taking ACE inhibitors were 14% more likely to develop cancer.
The risk increases the longer the patients were on the medication.
Scientists believe the drugs cause the accumulation of chemicals on the lung."

The perceived/claimed benefits of this drug is a lowering of the blood pressure through its ACE inhibitor activity. This ONE supposed benefit is outweighed by the following potential adverse effects:

• Angina, or chest pain due to blockage of blood flow in the coronary arteries.
• Anxiety, confusion, tremors;
• Back pain which does not get relieved with any modality of care;
• Blurred vision, sensitivity to light;
• Can cause very severe allergic reactions;
• Chest pain, discomfort, tightness or heaviness, shortness of breath;
• Dry mouth, dry tickly cough which does not go away in spite of any treatment;
• Diarrhoea, gastrointestinal inflammation, abdominal discomfort or severe pain, constipation, nausea, heartburn and acid reflux;
• Earaches, ringing in ears, tinnitus, a sensation of spinning;
• Extreme fatigue and sleepiness;
• Fast, thumpy or irregular heartbeat;
• Glossitis, pharyngitis, swelling of throat and taste impairment;

• High blood pressure sometimes escalating to alarming levels - the exact opposite of what the medicine is supposed to do;

• High blood levels of potassium. Patients may develop dangerous heart palpitations if they over-indulge on high potassium foods;
• Itchy blemishes on the skin which can look like water blisters and numerous skin conditions;
• May cause postural hypotension, dizziness, lightheadedness when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position;
• Muscle pains and spasms;
• Reduced and cloudy urination;
• Sleeplessness.

In fact, the adverse effects are far too many to list here. Please read about other effects in this link:
I fail to understand how such a drug can ever be used on a heart or high blood pressure patient. Only a minute percentage of patients may experience benefit, yet these drugs are the mainstay of cardiology!

My sister did not have to be put on this drug also, apart from the other hypertensives that she was already on.

My rating for this drug as a therapeutic agent for high BP or heart problems is Nil and in fact runs into negative territory

... to be continued.....

Doxazosin is an alpha-adrenergic blocker. It supposedly relaxes the veins and arteries so that blood can more easily pass through them to treat hypertension.
The possible adverse effects experienced by patients and in some order of occurrence are:
• Headaches
• Dizziness, vertigo
• Asthenia, chest pains
• Laboured respiration, rhinitis, respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, bronchospasm, cough
• Profound fatigue, unusual tiredness, weakness, difficulty moving about
• Hypotension, postural hypotension, palpitation, tachycardia, angina, myocardial infarction
• Belching, heartburn, indigestion, stomach ache, constipation, gastroenteritis
• Bladder pain' cloudy urine, frequent urge to urinate
• Swelling in joints, Joint pains, lower back and side pain
• Muscle pains, cramping, weakness or stiffness
• Nervousness, restlessness, unusual irritability
• Profound sleepiness or drowsiness
• Polyuria, urinary tract infection, cystitis, urinary incontinence
• Oedema, peripheral oedema

Add these adverse effects to those caused by the other three antihypertensives being prescribed to her creates a nightmarish scenario. Thousands of patients are being subjected to this terror with society paying for these excesses with no end in sight. How can this ever not be called medical terrorism?

The heartburn this medicine causes is then treated by a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) medication instead of withdrawing this drug. In her case, she had been provided with lansoprazole - which causes further havoc in the system as shown below.

Here is a Google review from Isabel Gates-Cook - a recent patient:

"Dr Amir is a very special physician. A noble pioneer who is not afraid to speak out against convention and offers an alternative treatment to that of our exceptionally overburdened NHS and heavily medicated society.

I initially sought Dr Amir’s help after decades of bruxism and TMJ dysfunction which had eventually resulted in a partial jaw dislocation and ensuing chronic neck and jaw pain along with fatigue and debilitating headaches. Various dentists, consultants and NHS specialists offered little to no treatment options (mostly consisting of long term pain medication and a “soft food diet.”)

Following my first consultation with Dr Amir, the dots began to connect. Along with my TMJ dysfunction. I had suffered for years with ongoing anxiety/depression, chronic sore throat, digestive and hormonal issues - all of which causation had never been identifiable despite medical testing and again all deemed incurable and treatable by no means other than long term medication.

Dr Amir’s opinion was that my jaw and as such my poor swallowing/breathing pattern (There is a lot to fix!) was the root cause of all above symptoms. Dr Amir fitted my first appliance and told me by the evening I would be well... By the evening I was not just “well” I felt the best I had in years. I had no pain, no headache, my hips had levelled and after some significant cramping in my left calf, my collapsed foot arch reappeared.

I was astounded. Over the next few weeks, I found I had much more energy, my mood was more stable and generally, everything just felt easier. I am still astounded. My treatment is a long road and I have some way to go, but I have unwavering faith in Dr Amir’s methods and every day I am grateful for meeting him and wonder what may have been in store for me if I had not stumbled across his practice. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner.

If you are treated by Dr Amir, consider yourself very special, he probably just saved your life.

A mother writes:
"Ethan’s story

Ethan is a 14 year old boy who is healthy and enjoys Rugby, video games and irritating his two older sisters. His health has been excellent with the exception of severe asthma as a young child, which improved significantly and now only seems to occur when he laughs too much!

Suddenly one day, whilst at school, he noticed that his vision in his right eye was not good and described dark shadows and blurriness. Over the next 48 hours this deteriorated and the sight in this eye was significantly compromised.

We took him to the local A&E and he had many tests and scans, at great cost to the NHS, over 2 days. The outcome was a diagnosis of 'Multi Effervescent White Dot Syndrome'. As a clinician myself I know that anything with "syndrome" as part of the name of the illness means, we don’t know what the cause is. The consultant also said she would like to warn us that sometimes this can be a precursor to an autoimmune disease.

After the initial panic as parents, we remembered that Dr Amir has resolved the health issues of many patients classed with auto immune diseases. The consultant prescribed extremely high doses of prednisolone for approximately six weeks plus a medication to protect his stomach lining which can be destroyed by the steroids. Ethan was very reluctant to take any of these anyway. We contacted and made an urgent appointment to see Dr Amir to see if Ethan can avoid the sackful of medicines that he had been prescribed.

In brief, Dr Amir's findings were that Ethan was suffering from a severe retrognathic bite which was affecting his TMJ function, his Atlas vertebrae and his suboccipital muscles which are intimately related to eye function. (Please read his article on Visual Snow). To correct the issue, he constructed an appliance there and then which Ethan started using.

Within 2 weeks of wearing the appliance the vision in his eye had significantly improved and at the eye test at the hospital was 75% back to normal. Not one steroid tablet was taken, which shocked the consultant, and whilst sceptical of the alignment treatment she was interested. Within 5 weeks vision was back to 100%. Whilst the TMJ treatment continues we are so grateful that we have not had to treat Ethan with steroids. Even though it was a short term treatment, his puberty could have been affected.

Thank you once again, Dr Amir.

Comment: "Multi Effervescent White Dot Syndrome" is a self-limiting condition and most patients recover irrespective. Dispensing high dose steroids is the modus operandi in many medical circles.

This is a highly dangerous practice. It can cause very serious illness in a very short space of time. Please read a very extensive article on this link about steroid use.

Please also read this article on Optic Neuritis.

The auto-immune hypothesis is further questioned in this posting about the Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test in this article.

Patriots’ Captain Has Never Seen So Much Illness Among Players. Could It Be from Verizon Operating 5G at Their Stadium?

"Eight players including cornerback Stephon Gilmore and linebacker Dont’a Hightower missed Wednesday’s practice at Gillette Stadium due to illness. Patriots captain Devin McCourty addressed the issue on Wednesday, saying it’s unlike anything he’s seen in his 10-year career."

Mouthwash use could inhibit benefits of exercise

A study conducted by the University of Plymouth shows the blood-pressure-lowering effects of exercise were diminished by more than 60% over the first hour of recovery, and completely absent two hours post-exercise in those who used an antibacterial mouthwash

Exercise is known to reduce blood pressure – but the activity of bacteria in our mouths may determine whether we experience this benefit, according to new research.

An international team of scientists has shown that the blood pressure-lowering effect of exercise is significantly reduced when people rinse their mouths with antibacterial mouthwash, rather than water – showing the importance of oral bacteria in cardiovascular health.

The researchers now suggest that health professionals should pay attention to the oral environment when recommending interventions involving physical activity for high blood pressure.

The study was led by the University of Plymouth in collaboration with the Centre of Genomic Regulation in Barcelona (Gabaldon’s lab), Spain, and was published in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine.

A most interesting and rather alarming correlation between TMJD and MS I saw in an online forum.

"Hi everyone I know this is an older post but I was wondering if anyone out there [found] a link between TMJ disorder and MS? The reason I ask is that I know there is no known cause of [MS] but the link between TMJD and MS seems like a possibility to me.

My father and his father both died from brain tumors at young ages. So I get brain MRIs from time to time to make sure I don’t have a brain tumor. I got an MRI of my brain in 2014 and there were no lesions and no tumors.

Then in December 2014, I got a full set of the New [Veneers] because my wife works for a dentist and he gave them to us for free for Christmas that year. From January to March 2015, my veneers fell off every week and I had to go to this dentist three times a week to get them re-cemented because walking around with no front teeth can be quite embarrassing.

By March my dentist was so frustrated that he could not get them to stay on so he ripped all the veneers out and shaved all my teeth down to put on crowns. My real teeth were not that bad at all. But I ended up losing all my real teeth and now I have these ugly looking crowns.

Anyway, when he did this he screwed up my bite and my occlusion which lead to severe TMJ disorder and for those of you who suffer from severe TMJD you know the pain I’m talking about with the migraines, neck, shoulder, back pain, I can’t chew, can’t speak and so on and so on. The pain was so intense and the migraines were so painful that it started to affect my work performance. Then I started to lose my memory and cognitive function. I thought it was due to the TMJ disorder.

During 2015 August I went in to get a brain MRI to see if maybe I had a brain tumor like my father. It came back with 20 lesions on my brain and 15 on my spine. So in 2014 I had no lesions on my brain MRI and then I got TMJ disorder with horrible pain in my head neck and back. And in less than a year I developed all these lesions and was diagnosed with MS.

I can’t help but think that it was caused by the TMJ disorder. And I know there’s no cause that we know of for MS but I can’t help but think there is a link between the TMJD and my MS. Has anyone else had this experience? I am so desperately looking for someone else who’s had the same thing. So please let me know so I know that I’m not the only one out there that thinks this. Thank you so much I really do love you guys and appreciate all your advice."

PS Article slightly abbreviated and grammar improved.

Comment: This is the most remarkable occurence I have ever heard of. It is imperative that dentists take a lesson and step most precariously when addressing anyones dental issues.

Comment: The ramifications of even slight interferences in the wrong direction can have serious consequences as per the experience of another patient I saw last week.

She says:

"Hi! I'm a 28 years old female. Until a year ago, my health was good. But I always had problems with my teeth, and I started to lose some of them from a very young age. In November 2017, I got braces as I wanted to fix two small teeth that I have in the front. The first few months I didn't have any problems. After several months, the doctor started to close the gap created from a missing tooth on my upper jaw and also create space between my upper teeth. I also started to wear elastics. Just a few days after starting to wear the elastics I noticed my hearing one day became very strange. I woke up in the middle of the night with ringing in my ears. A week afterward I started to have problems with the jaw. The doctor told me he doesn't think the braces are at fault and advised me to continue wearing the elastics to fix my bite. The pain was getting worse and worse so I decided to remove the braces and not put any retainer so that the teeth can come back to their place.

My teeth are now misaligned and I do not have a proper bite. I also started to get a lot of digestive issues. I still have tinnitus and jaw pain and clicking."

Another new patient writes:

"............ I had been fit and well for 6 years prior to having orthodontic treatment during which time I had had 2 more children (having had 1 when younger) with no problems. My orthodontic treatment concerned me at several stages but my concerns were always dismissed. There was never any plan as things seemed to be tweaked as it went along and I noticed my arches narrowing and my front teeth were crossed before sticking out instead. My front teeth were shaved twice but they still stick out. Part way through treatment I noticed I was only biting on the left and said this but it was dismissed.

My face looked narrower. I later noticed my jaw was swinging open to the left. A click on the right was noted by my dentist part through treatment but was dismissed by my orthodontist. Then towards the end of treatment, I told my orthodontist I could not bite on the right as the right molars seemed lower. Without telling me what he was doing he did something with the brace I later realised was to pull downwards the upper right molars in order to meet the bottom, so that they are completely out of line with the other, but because my lower arch is swinging to the left, it was meeting the upper arch pulled in. I expressed my concerns to the orthodontist who again dismissed it.

I soon after developed pain in my jaw joints and ringing in my ears and my temples crushed in and my face looked thinner still. I didn’t know what was going on and after going to my dentist and drs and the orthodontist who said nothing was wrong I found a dentist who said to go for an mri and it showed my discs are displaced.

I have not yet had tmj treatment as I have been passed around as my symptoms keep growing and no one understands it. I stopped my orthodontic treatment hoping things would settle but it didn’t and things have got worse with my whole face and jaw rotating to the left in line with my upper arch and my lower jaw swinging to that side. My neck has pulled to the left. I am completely twisted. It is alarming as I read that cranial bones shouldn’t move like this, but mine have.

After endless research, I decided to try Atlasprofilax with someone in London and I asked her if she could recommend anyone to help with my teeth and she says you as you understand the cranial system. My other concern is a wobbly sore tooth that was one of the ones pulled down on the right as it receded rapidly after being moved there and has lots of root resorption. I don’t know if that tooth can be saved but it’s not stable where it is and I worry for the teeth next to it too. The teeth on the left that were not moved down on that final brace adjustment are fine and stable. I also should add that importantly I am very unhappy with the look of my teeth. It is extra distressing to have terrible looking teeth on top of all the facial changes and jaw problems and pain. It is affecting me emotionally."

Another patient writes:

"I would like to book a consultation with Dr. Amir after he has been recommended by word of mouth and online for the treatment of TMJD. I have been suffering badly for over 2 years with symptoms including blocked ears, a sore jaw, nighttime clenching, jaw muscle spasms, sore neck, and headaches, etc. I have an open bite and also my teeth are not fitting together properly.

I had braces as a teen and 4 teeth removed, which I'm sure is part of the problem as I now tongue thrust and feel I have no space for my tongue. I have been to so many different doctors/ dentists NHS specialists and have been really disappointed with the care and have been fobbed off with nighttime guards, antidepressants and even told 'it's all in your own head'. I've become quite desperate and so after a great deal of time spent researching, I would like to have a consultation with Dr. Amir after reading great things about his non-invasive treatment and holistic approach for TMD symptoms. Many thanks!"

Comment: This patient was also advised that her problems were due to the presence of her (symptom-free) wisdom teeth.

She listened to the advice and had them extracted at considerable cost only to find that her symptoms deteriorated rapidly.

Being fobbed off by maxillo-facial surgeons when symptoms of TMJD and other severe"medical" problems arise after this odontogenic negligence is rife. Most have absolutely no idea of the relationship of teeth to bodily asymmetries and ill-health. Hundreds of thousands are suffering all around the country because of this gross negligence. It is time that the dental hospitals shut these consultations down to prevent the maxillo-facial surgeons misleading and fobbing off patients which could lead to serious litigation in the courts.

An estimated 300 million people live with asthma worldwide. It accounts for an estimated one in 250 deaths. Presently, corticosteroids are the mainstay of asthma treatment.
However, an understanding of the disease triggers has been slow and confusing with many contradictory findings. The final state of affairs in a popular medical website says:
"There is currently no cure for asthma, and no single exact cause has been identified."

A typical explanation for asthma is that it is a "complex heterogeneous disease that is often associated with atopic sensitization in children. It is believed to arise as a result of interactions in early life between environmental exposures and genetic predisposition. Environmental exposure to inhaled substances and particles that provoke allergic reactions or irritate the airways are the prime etiological triggers."

The rest of the conundrum goes on to say that:
"Large increases in childhood asthma prevalence were described in the United Kingdom and similar developed countries in the last few decades of the 20th Century. This change was too rapid to be explained by genetic shift and so there has been an intensive search for modifiable environmental factors that are causally related to the development of asthma in children. Although a large number of biologically plausible factors have been suggested, most have only modest effects on disease risk."

While not giving any less importance to potentiating effects of environmental pollution the missing factors which can explain the large increases in asthma cases can, in my opinion, be explained by the phenomenal increases in:

1) The consumption of processed foods and unhealthy takeaway foods seriously impacting jaw development in the last few decades of the 20th Century. Please refer to the work of Dr Weston Price.

2) The extraction orthodontics in the last few decades, (which have left hundreds of thousands crippled and aesthetically mauled), of the 20th century, resulting in a worsening of the poor jaw development initially caused by processed foods.

3) The extraction of wisdom teeth - is also contributing to the incidence of breathing problems including asthma and lifelong illness with many other symptoms.

The resolution of asthma, brought about by corrective non-extraction, non-constrictive orthodontics in most patients is a testament that poor jaw development is THE MAIN contributory factor in the incidence of Asthma.

Only slight asymmetries of the jaws can cause serious health issues - not just Asthma.

"Dr Amir is an expert, his knowledge is immeasurable. My only regret is not having made that appointment sooner. My advise to anyone unsure or sceptical is:

Make that first appointment, see for yourself.

7 years ago, I started having pain in my wrists and for 2 years I was given cortisone injections under the diagnosis of tendinitis. This didn’t help, in fact, these injections made it worse. I was then referred to a specialist consultant who advised me to stop the injections as that was damaging the tendons on the wrists and referred me to a different consultant.

I saw this consultant for 4 years. They did all the tests and exams under the sun only to be told that my diagnosis was probably arthritis, that I should just accept and adapt to my immobility.

I left that appointment with a prescription for a very strong medicine with many side effects with no guarantee of recovery and a broken heart.

By then I was incapable of most tasks such as doing shoelaces, unlocking my front door, peeling vegetables, holding an umbrella in the rain, washing my hair, driving and so on.

By the time I came to see Dr Amir, which was 4 years after saving his phone number on my mobile phone, my health was deteriorating very rapidly, I had very little pain free mobility on my wrists, arms, and bottom of the feet, this was also affecting my mental health.

I made an appointment with Dr Amir and although I felt a bit sceptical at first I also felt that Dr Amir really cared for my well being and would do what he could to make it better, he also reassured me that I could cancel the treatment and payment at any time if I didn’t see results.

Two months later, I was sleeping without pain and driving every day, within a few months from that I was able to do most day to day tasks. All this without taking one single pill. When I look back now I can’t believe that I am back to my old self, doing all the things I was told I would probably not do again, most of all I dread to think of where I would be now, two years on, if I hadn’t made that appointment.

Dr Amir cares not only for my physical health, he understands the impact the condition has on me, listens and always gives me his time and advice. I can’t thank the team enough.

It was interesting to come across a patient who was diagnosed with this illness. I decided on a bit of study about this illness and was intrigued to discover that the symptoms appear to be similar to those experienced by patients who have jaw problems.

According to Wikipedia, Polymyalgia Rheumatica encompasses a wide range of symptoms:
• Pain and stiffness (moderate to severe) in the neck, shoulders, upper arms, thighs, and hips, which inhibits activity, especially in the morning/after sleeping. Pain can also occur in the groin area and in the buttocks. The pain can be limited to one of these areas as well. It is a disease of the "girdles" meaning shoulder girdle or pelvic girdle.
• Fatigue and lack of appetite (possibly leading to weight loss) are also indicative of Polymyalgia Rheumatica.
• An overall feeling of illness or flu-like symptoms.
• Low-grade (mild) fever or abnormal temperature is sometimes present.
• In most people, it is characterized by constant fatigue, weakness and sometimes exhaustion.

About 15% of people who are diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica also have temporal arteritis, and about 50% of people with temporal arteritis have Polymyalgia Rheumatica.

Temporal arteritis is an inflammatory disease of blood vessels. The complications can include blockage of the artery to the eye with resulting blindness, aortic dissection, and aortic aneurysm. The cause is unknown. The underlying mechanism involves inflammation of the small blood vessels.

Some symptoms of temporal arteritis include:
• headache
• tenderness and sensitivity on the scalp
• jaw claudication (pain in the jaw when chewing)
• tongue claudication (pain in the tongue when chewing)
• reduced visual acuity (blurred vision)
• acute visual loss (sudden blindness)
• diplopia (double vision)
• acute tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

Most of the above-listed symptoms, also arise in patients who have any asymmetries around the jaws, head and the skeleton. You can read about Fibromyalgia on my extensive article here

My patient had the following symptoms:

After examining the patient he was found to have a jaw problem. Having lost his wisdom teeth at age 20 did not help matters.

To assist those who may have been diagnosed into this condition here is a little more information:

Causes of Polymyalgia Rheumatica as per the medical literature:

"The cause of PMR is not well understood. (Typical problem in medicine; In one breath medicine does not know the cause but in the second one they do. It is the money-spinning autoimmune cause, of course!)

The pain and stiffness result from the activity of inflammatory cells and proteins that are normally a part of the body's disease-fighting immune system and the inflammatory activity seems to be concentrated in tissues surrounding the affected joints.

During this disorder, the white blood cells in the body attack the lining of the joints, causing inflammation. (This draws in more patients into an autoimmune disease which produce the blockbuster profits from the sale of drugs to 'treat' these conditions where ones own white blood cells are attacking one's own body!)

Several theories have included viral stimulation of the immune system in genetically susceptible individuals. (This is another typical ruse - blame a virus!)

Tests available for PMR

One blood test usually performed is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) which measures how fast the patient's red blood cells settle in a test tube. The faster the blood cells settle, the higher the ESR value, which means inflammation is present. Many conditions can cause an elevated ESR, so this test alone is not proof that a person has Polymyalgia Rheumatica.

Another test that checks the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood may also be conducted. CRP is produced by the liver in response to an injury or infection, and people with Polymyalgia Rheumatica usually have high levels. However, like the ESR, this test is also not very specific.

Conventional treatment of PMR

Prednisone is the drug of choice, and treatment duration is frequently greater than one year. If the patient does not experience dramatic improvement after three days of 10–20 mg oral prednisone per day, the clinicians are advised that the diagnosis should be reconsidered.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen are ineffective in the initial treatment of PMR, but they may be used in conjunction with the maintenance dose

Testimonial - Recovery from Polymyalgia and Fibromyalgia

"In addition to the dental treatment, I received a consultation with Dr. Amir, initially for dental purposes, which led to a discussion regarding very challenging physical symptoms I was experiencing. I had received a diagnosis of Polymyalgia and Fibromyalgia, both discovered/confirmed via numerous scans under consultation with a Cardiologist and Respiratory Consultant.

I was experiencing muscle weakness and pain and was unable to do basic functions such as lift a moderate weight above chest height. Following several scans and consultations, I was prescribed a high dosage of steroids and advised I may need to remain on steroids on a long-term basis.
I did not take the steroid medication but instead discussed an alternative plan with Dr. Amir, which involved a mouth brace, for the purpose of achieving cranial symmetry. Considering the remarkable improvement I had seen in my children, I chose to work with Dr Amir. After 3 months of wearing and adjusting the mouth brace, my symptoms were dramatically reduced and within 6 months, I had completely regained my strength and I was pain-free.

I went for another series of scans, the results of which showed a reversal of the opacification of the lung deposits, providing physical evidence that I was indeed getting better (despite not having taken any medicinal intervention). I am now completely well and healthy, much of which I attribute to Dr Amir’s remarkable treatment!

It would be absurd for me to claim success from just one patient. Although I feel pretty sure about what I have written, my advice is that patients must not immediately assume that their problem is symmetry related. A consultation with a dentist conversant with jaw problems and orthodontics is important at an early stage. For the purposes of a differential diagnosis, you should still check out what your medical advisor has to say.

Having said that I am very sceptical about treatment with steroids or anti-immune drugs. I cannot understand how these can eliminate the cause of these symptoms.

Written by my patient Pauline Bresnik-Snasdell

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

Things that helped me manage my symptoms before starting Dr Amir’s treatment (Dr Amir, Dental Surgeon, London, UK) included the following:
- The Swank Diet as mentioned above – this seemed to slow the progression of MS
- Elimination of dairy from my diet – this greatly helped lessen my frequency of headaches
- Inclined Bed Therapy
- Free form amino acids capsules – this seemed to help my energy levels
- Mercury fillings removals – this seemed to reduce a number of symptoms
- Acupuncture (a medical doctor from China who also practices acupuncture)
- Stress reduction

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. Afterward, 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

10 years later - I credit Dr Amir with my life.

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!

I was born with one leg supposedly shorter than the other. I did not notice any problem with this until I was in my teens. My skirts were always lopsided and my trousers had to be shortened by 1 inch on the right leg. I also began to experience pain in my right hip, and so began many years of seeing doctors and physios - none of whom seemed to know what was wrong.

One afternoon whilst working in my office in the City the pain became intense and I was taken to the Royal London Hospital where a Consultant decided that this was obviously appendicitis. I had my appendix removed and was sent home. The pain returned and I was given an IVP [Intravenous Pyelogram] at my local hospital. The result was negative! Still, the pain was there. Many years later after seeing a succession of physios I was becoming more and more lopsided as I walked.

One evening I was in an armchair at home and had so much difficulty in getting up that I decided this was enough. As luck would have it, my son was seeing Dr. Amir for another problem and I made an appointment to see him in the hope that he could do something for me. He was my saviour - 2 years later, after straightening my teeth and sorting my Atlas vertebra, I was free of pain for the first time in years. My posture was erect and I no longer have to adjust my trouser length - by 2 inches.
I am most grateful to Dr. Amir and would recommend anybody who is in pain, and cannot get satisfactory treatment elsewhere, to contact Dr. Amir for an appointment.
Valerie Page, 29th August 2016

Hannah and her family are eternally grateful to have found Dr. Amir so early in her illness as she was physically deteriorating so rapidly that walking was becoming a significant concern and disability a real possibility. We would encourage anyone with these symptoms or with such a diagnosis to see Dr. Amir to determine if the cause is the same as Hannah's so he can work his magic on them.

We believe that Hannah has been saved from being drawn into a "chronic incurable illness" like CFS/ME/MS or Fibromyalgia. Our advice to everyone with these or in fact many chronic disease labels is to have their jaws checked. You may have a chance to recover fully.

“I have been passed the article about you in the Evening Standard and have read it with great interest. I too have MS which started 13 years ago after having all of my wisdom teeth extracted under general anaesthetic. Straight after the operation, I could not walk properly on my left side, dragging my leg. The doctor advised it was weak muscles and to go to the gym - which I tried and failed. I simply could not move the machines with my legs. After a year I sought complementary therapy and continue to do so, to varying degrees of help. (Over the years my condition has deteriorated and I have been formally diagnosed since Dec ‘05.) Along the way it has been suggested that my jaws are not in alignment which is why the article on your approach was so interesting.
