"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 advise. I can’t thank the team enough.

The GDC appointed Maxillo Facial surgeon criticising my website contends:

He also writes:

"Data on audits of practice and outcomes including patients who did not respond to care could be used to explain and justify his approach to care. It would also be balanced to include information on the placebo effect and how this can result in resolution of symptoms or improvements in up to half of patients' treated. The placebo effect could in itself explain the results he has achieved although I have insufficient data to give a definitive opinion in this respect."

Silvia, I do not understand this gobbledegook but I think he is trying to say that perhaps you have a placebo effect!

After I told a former patient who largely recovered from her 'MS' about this "placebo effect" allegation she just wrote the following:

"If all your patients are having a placebo effect how do you explain the guy that you stopped stammering after years of suffering? Also, all those people who keep travelling halfway around the world to be treated by you. Have you been able to show any of the testimonials that you have from forever grateful patients who have been singing your praises for years? Do these so-called medical experts think that all your patients are morons or as thick as two short planks? Who is to say that they are right and you are wrong?

If it wasn’t for people like you pushing the boundaries we would all still be living in caves. This defies belief.

It isn’t as if you dragged all these people into your surgery kicking and screaming and held a gun to their heads while they signed a direct debit. I remember our first visit to you. You told me in no uncertain terms that you thought you could help me to improve my situation but that the thing that I most wanted help with, my mobility, would be the last thing to improve, if at all. Also, you were very clear that it would be a big commitment time-wise, travelling and most of all financially. You suggested that we take time to consider all these things and we at no time felt under pressure to
commit to anything. Also, anyone who has reached the point of coming to your surgery has already done lots of research of their own with all the information that is on the internet about you."

It was interesting to come across a patient who was diagnosed with this illness. His family have been receiving treatment from me for some years so they thought it apt to see if I could be of any help.

I decided on a bit of study about Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I 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 classically:

• 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.

• 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)

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:

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

This draws in more patients into autoimmune disease which produce the blockbuster profits from the sale of drugs to 'treat' these conditions!

Tests available for PMR

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 diagnosis should be reconsidered. Sometimes relief of symptoms occurs in only several hours. You can read my views about steroid use on this link.

Luckily the patient managed to evade the steroids and NSAID's and here is his testimony:

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, but for differential diagnosis, I would 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.

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. 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

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 very profitable 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 "delay the onset of the serious secondary progressive stage of this 'autoimmune disease' " is actually an anti-fungal and sells for £55,000 ($72,000 in the USA) a year per patient. The ancillary costs of looking after these patients are at least equal to this drug cost.

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

Neurologists have conveniently divided the disease into:

- 'benign';
- '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.

I think these classifications help the neurologists weasel out of any allegations regarding false or a misdiagnosis and serve no other purpose.
.
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:
