All dentists throughout the world must read this article as must those who are chronically ill.
I thank the many patients who are writing reviews all over the Internet, Facebook, and Twitter about the excesses of the GDC by employing incompetent experts giving expert advice in life and death matters as far as my patients are concerned. I am thankful to all the patients for coming out in my support and exposing the defamatory, wrongful, and vindictive conclusions of the hearing committee totally ignoring patient testimonies. These testimonies are now all over the internet and multiplying throughout the world for all to see what they are being deprived of and how low authority can stoop to continue to harm patients.
The president of the British Dental Association in an article says "The Council has demonstrated a dependency upon some expert witnesses whose currency and relevance is seriously open to question. The financial rewards for long-retired practitioners to act as witnesses are substantial. One can, perhaps, understand their, probably well-intentioned, motivations, but who is there at the GDC to give a view on appropriateness? No one."
The GDC does not like the idea that I am exposing them and any other person extracting teeth unnecessarily causing lifelong harm to patients. The GDC has never taken any steps to safeguard patients in this respect in spite of having been repeatedly told of this danger for some 50 years. They would like me to become a co-conspirator by forcing me to remove my website and stop blowing the whistle. This is not going to happen. They have left themselves open to serious litigation. My website is for the protection of patients - not the GDC. Please read this link about the consequences of extraction orthodontics.
30 years of experience shows that correct orthodontic intervention and the re-establishment of postural symmetry can relieve or eliminate multiple symptoms associated with at least 48 conditions listed below resulting in a successful outcome ranging from 60 to almost a 100%.
The treatment of such symptoms lies in the domain of dentistry NOT medicine. Unfortunately, the contrived system of healthcare, that everyone is brainwashed into subscribing, prevents dentists from treating such patients but has given carte blanche authority to medical doctors to treat them. They have absolutely no chance of healing any of the symptoms in multiple illness labels because the symptoms actually emanate from jaw asymmetries, jaw dysfunction, and the concomitant effects on the neck vertebrae and indeed the rest of the body. These are physical problems needing physical attention not drugs.
Normally, when such patients present themselves to the medical fraternity they have few answers for them but nevertheless get busy recruiting patients into multiple incurable syndromes and illnesses needing many pills and multiple investigations. The patients have no chance of a cure and astronomical fees bankrupt families where treatment is privately funded, and in socialised medicine, it is a bottomless pit. My system of care could save our NHS at least £40 billion a year.
Lately, a new dimension has come to light. - Long Covid. I suspect that this is due to the presence of breathing problems already present, in mainly female patients, before they get infected with Covid. You will notice that my vast testimonials show that my treatment restores the breathing ability and such measures could help such patients recover.
The biggest hindrance to the ability of dentists to provide such treatment and eliminate half of the chronic illness in society is our governing body - the GDC. Will the GDC let dentists participate in the revolutionary concepts presented on this website? No, as per a recent hearing.
However, If the present controllers are removed and a new forward-looking altruistic group of staff, dedicated to the advancement of dentistry and the true care and protection of patients takes over the running of this establishment, there definitely is a chance. The present controllers at the GDC need to be replaced by innovators aware of the tremendous ability of our dentists to deliver health at costs that are a millionth of the present forms of medical treatment.
Dentists can easily become knowledgeable enough to change the complete course of dentistry and medicine bringing in new thinking to enable the healing of the masses in our great country.
This is never going to happen with the archaic model full of its' prejudices and hatred of dentists (as per their own staff). Hundreds of staff are employed by the GDC, who are completely immersed in knit-picking and prosecuting the paying subscribers for the slightest irregularity. This freakshow has to be brought to an end.
A new light needs to start flickering for societal evolution and benefit. The present system prospers on ripping life, both out of patients and dentists. A governmental urgent action is required to banish this organisation and replace it with a forward-thinking entity.
The illnesses listed below are the domain of medical practitioners where the outcome is usually ZERO, NIL, NADA, ZILCH. My claim of 'nil outcomes' was also confirmed by a very senior NHS executive at the hearing who emphasized the point that the medical treatment with drugs was always of a palliative nature and never curative.
The word "cure" is a complete anathema. No one in medicine or dentistry dare use it. Of course, it is true. No medical treatment of the symptoms in the extensive list below has ever been curative. So the word cure has to be eliminated from medical parlance and anyone using it has to be trounced upon. This has to change because cures are available when the cause is removed which resides in the jaws not anywhere else in the body 90% of the time.
Can one imagine how many billions the country is sending down the drain daily for which you and I have to pay? So, please read carefully with an open mind. You may have a family member suffering terribly because of the medical model of illness we have been brainwashed into since pharaonic times. It is actually mostly dental with medicine having zilch to do with it.
The dentists have to demand their right to treat such patients and CLAIM that they are the ones indeed healing rather than being petrified of the GDC of any such claims. The rights of the GDC to employ law firms and multiplying molehill issues into problems bigger than the Himalayas should be wrestled away by the government and they should only be allowed to hold mediation hearings. If the cases are serious hand them over to the police but in the meantime get out of the way of progress.
The outcomes of the present system of care governed by medical and dental bodies are that the patients are sentenced to a lifetime of chronic illness with no relief in sight. We are led to believe that the governing bodies are here to protect patients. This is a joke. I shall be publishing a great deal of more evidence in this respect very soon exposing the nefarious activities of those entrusted with our care and protection.
The only respite can come when the stranglehold of the ruling bodies, which appear to be perpetuating illness, is taken away from them restoring public protection. The sick deserve to be healed not exploited and wilfully maimed to line the pockets of lawyers and other snake oil peddlers.
Dentists are at the cusp of taking over the care and health of patients. This art form of treatment is beginning to be well developed in the USA with holistic dentists making huge inroads to bring about craniodental symmetry in patients and thus helping resolve very many symptoms previously the domain of their medical doctors. Dentists should be free to advertise this ability and claim the care of most symptoms, but the present legal system, governing bodies, and medical negligence outfits are a serious hindrance to the attainment of such a goal for the benefit of very seriously ill patients.
Fallacious illness labels are created such as "Social Anxiety Disorder", "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", "Fibromyalgia", "Irritable Bowel Syndrome". Add to these "autoimmune illnesses" such as "Multiple Sclerosis", "Polymyalgia Rheumatica", "Rheumatoid arthritis", and countless others by recruiting certain clusters of symptoms into various syndromes. The treatment modality centers around treating symptoms and not diseases, but strangely many diseases evaporate away given the correct physical symmetry treatment as listed below. Supporting evidence is also on multiple other places on this Website.
All these "illnesses" create lifelong business for the medical-industrial complex, which includes hospitals and the practitioners dispensing the often dangerous and useless pharmacopeia. Most drugs have adverse effects, which are treated with additional drugs instead of withdrawing the culprit medication. Soon many patients start rattling with up to 25 prescription drugs.
Chronic illnesses are all cleverly crafted illness names into which the patient is fully enrolled and brainwashed with the mantra of a life-long illness even prior to them ever visiting a medical doctor. Many just need to hear the name of the diagnosis and they know that they have a lifelong untreatable illness and are mesmerically resigned to their fate and taking bucket loads of pills for the rest of their lives.
There is indeed no cure for these chronic ilnesses because THEY ARE NOT MEDICAL ILLNESSES.
The patient's symptoms are actually caused by asymmetries of their cranium, jaws, teeth, and skeleton as shown in very many articles, testimonials and Google reviews on this website.
The asymmetries come about initially by poor development of jaws as amply described by Dr Weston Price some 80 years ago.
The real cause - developmental problems made worse by dental extractions:
The symptoms become much worse or start for the first time after extraction orthodontics or the extraction of wisdom teeth, without first analysing the potential of serious lifelong harm to the patient by mostly maxillofacial surgeons. The patients are never warned that such extractions can cause serious lifelong harm.
A mother wrote today: "Our 15 yr old daughter, has been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome; Hypermobile Type, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and probable Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. She has ME-type symptoms, including frequent sore throats, fatigue, headache, blurred vision, brain fog, sensitivity to noise and light, anxiety, pain, insomnia, nausea. She also has frequent subluxations of joints. Started orthodontic treatment early as canines were impacted. They removed several teeth and she wore braces for many years. Is struggling to attend school and has GCSEs this academic year. Cranial osteopath told us she lost the natural curve of her neck. Gets shoulder pain and back pain."
The mother starts off with three syndromes meaning the doctors do not know what it is but they are specialists in these unknown conditions commanding huge amounts of remuneration in knowing nothing!
I get many desperate inquiries like this daily. These are typical consequences of extraction orthodontics.
Shame on the supervising authorities. Extraction orthodontics remains the standard treatment. It should be banished. Only a court of law can put this matter right and punish the perpetrators including the governing body and individual board members, who have made thousands of young patients bedridden in many countries.
Here are two graphs of patients I saw last week, who developed serious health problems almost exactly a year after having their wisdom teeth extracted. The vertical line on the left represents the intensity of the symptom with a score of 10 being the highest.
Some 50% of chronically sick patients can attribute their ill-health to dental extraction interferences. Our bodies are very finely tuned almost like a Swiss clock. A 2mm discrepancy in the mouth can make a 5cm asymmetry in the hip area. The ramifications of gross interferences in the mouth are massive and someone needs to pay attention.
When the patients are deprived of the correct symmetry treatment, they never recover but keep getting worse as the years go by with additional symptoms developing as they age.
Dentists are increasingly becoming aware of this phenomenon of body asymmetry affecting health, ever since I started writing about this subject some 10 years ago and after accumulating some 15 years of experience.
Dr. Aseem Malhotra, touching on the fringes of what I am saying, explains, "Why modern medicine is a major threat to public health" in an article in The Guardian. Any objective analysis will show that the medical treatment of the illnesses listed below, produces zero or minus outcomes.
The system of medical governance is founded on treachery and deceit. Medical care has become the bane of society where illness creation to amass profits is more important than finding a cure.

A Google review by Claire Daliday 20th October 2020
"Dr. Amir not only relieved me of back, neck, knee, and wrist pain; his treatment also helped me get pregnant!
After a gymnastics injury many years ago, I was left with lower back pain that developed into secondary injuries in my knee (walking with a limp and receiving steroid injections in my knee on the NHS), neck (wearing a neck brace when it went into a spasm and getting deep tissue massages to alleviate) and wrist (that the NHS had supplied a brace for). I spent thousands on osteopaths, chiropractors, physios, and masseuses over 12 years, trying to find a way to stop the near-constant pain and feeling of sickness brought on the near-constant pain (the NHS had me on remedial pain and prescribed high doses of Ibuprofen). By the time, I heard of Dr. Amir, I was trying to get pregnant, but had discovered I was not ovulating. 3 months of tests at home proved this.
With a mouth brace, Dr. Amir was able to realign my spine resulting in no more pain, and amazingly restart my ovulation! Within 6 months, I was pregnant with my first child! I now have 2 daughters and visit Dr Amir once/twice a year to make sure I'm still aligned but will be forever thankful for the family unit he helped me create."

CW's life was saved and it also proved that Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and many other allergic conditions could be entirely a dental problem. I was there. I witnessed it all along as she lives only down the road from me and I am her GP. I do not need any more proof than this. She has enjoyed a very full life for many years now instead of being permanently bedridden or dead."
32. Multiple Sclerosis - The medical fraud of the last 30 years perpetrated upon society: A recent input from a former 'Secondary Progressive MS patients' husband after I asked him for an update :
"Hi Dr. Amir
You are aware of course that you already have our longer version of your input on Elizabeth’s MS sent to you some years ago – however, here is a 2 line latest summary thanking me for helping Liz recover from Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis - untreatable as far as the neurologists are concerned: Losing So Much Due to Dr. Amir
Yes, my partner Elizabeth, has had 'Secondary progressive' MS for 30 years, has now lost so much - her regular foot drop, all her atrocious headaches, all those occasions of MS heavy legs, inability to walk, huge uncontrollable full body tremors, the need for a wheelchair, all that lack of confidence and low self-esteem – yes Dr. Mohamed Amir - has one hell of a lot to answer for giving my partner her life back again!
Warm regards"
Here is a graphical representation of one patient's recovery from multiple symptoms:
You may want to read my Google reviews. I only asked patients over one year to write these reviews so I have about 84 reviews with a rating of 4.9 stars. If I had asked all the patients that, I have successfully treated over the last 30 years I might have had at least 500 such reviews.
The standpoint taken by the General Dental Council is that none of this data is valid because it is not backed up by Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). EBM is the biggest scam that keeps patients in chronic illness forever so I do not subscribe to it nor do my hundreds of recovered patients.
Some very senior authorities have the following to say about the scam of EBM that the GDC wants me to subscribe to. The two 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 Lancetsaid this in 2015:
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half may simply be untrue”
Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of NEJM wrote in 2009 that,
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor”
Evidence-based medicine is broken
is the heading in an article written by a General practitioner Dr Des Spence in the British Medical Journal. He goes on to say:
"Evidence-based medicine (EBM) wrong-footed the drug industry for a while in the 1990s. We could fend off the army of pharmaceutical representatives because often their promotional material was devoid of evidence. However, the drug industry came to realise that EBM was an opportunity rather than a threat. Research, especially when published in a prestigious journal, was worth more than thousands of sales representatives. Today EBM is a loaded gun at clinicians’ heads. “You better do as the evidence says,” it hisses, leaving no room for discretion or judgment. EBM is now the problem, fuelling overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
Evidence-based medicine should be an integration of clinical expertise, the best available evidence and – most importantly – taking patients’ preferences, values and OUTCOMES into consideration.. The GDC hearing committee paid little credence to the outcomes in hundreds of patients. We had enough witnesses to fill a full year but they only accepted to hear about 8 witnesses whose testimony they nevertheless totally ignored.
The existing EBM's stark reality is zero outcomes in multiple hospital departments and GP surgeries!

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) - An alternative explanation
"People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk. " ......Ayn Rand
Acid reflux is an extremely common health problem, affecting as many as 50 percent of Americans. Other terms used for this condition are gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcer disease.
The hallmark symptom of acid reflux is "heartburn"—a burning sensation behind the breastbone that sometimes travels up the throat. In some cases, this pain can be severe enough to be mistaken for a heart attack.
Conventionally, acid reflux is thought to be caused by excessive amounts of acid in the stomach, which is why acid-blocking drugs such as proton pump inhibitors, are typically prescribed or recommended.
This is more likely a serious medical misconception that adversely affects hundreds of millions of people, as the problem more than likely stems from a poor breathing mechanism.
Please note that as the diaphragm descends it aids the heart and lungs to inflate fully. It also pumps the gut up and down to aid its digestive function
The diaphragm is the main muscle that aids breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and moves in the inferior direction, enlarging the volume of the thoracic cavity and reducing intra-thoracic pressure (the external intercostal muscles also participate in this enlargement), forcing the lungs to expand.
In other words, the diaphragm's movement downwards creates a partial vacuum in the thoracic cavity, which forces the lungs to expand to fill the void, drawing air in the process. This partial vacuum also aids the pumping action of the heart. Chest breathing does the opposite and causes heart palpitations.
During its descent, the belly expands, the oesophageal sphincter which is at the entrance to the stomach is closed, preventing any ingress of stomach acid into the oesophagus, and the abdominal contents get the pumping action of the diaphragm to aid digestion. This pumping also allows other vital organs in the abdomen to perform optimally.
Therefore, in life the diaphragm must always descend when inhaling. This can only occur when patients' belly breathes with absolutely no visible inflation of their chest cavity!
However, patients who suffer from any symptoms of acid reflux can be observed to always chest breathe!
It is of fundamental importance that patients are taught how to correct their breathing pattern before embarking on any medications which nearly always have severe adverse effects, AND the patient may eventually fall victim to carcinoma of the oesophagus.
The ability to breathe fully is seriously affected by any jaw asymmetries and strangely also by collapsed foot arches. These must be corrected for an optimal outcome to get relief from GERD.
Typical drug list for some GERD patients
Awaiting adding testimonials
Palatal myoclonus is a rare movement disorder with rapid spasms of the soft palate muscles, which results in clicking or popping in the ear. The movements of the palate vary in rate between 40 and 200 beats per minute. Uniquely, the clicking noise does not subside when the patient sleeps. The frequency of the tremor is highly variable among different patients and may vary within a single individual, illustrating the atypical features of the tremor. When associated with eye movements, it is known as oculo-palatal myoclonus.
Here is a report of one patient's ongoing battle:
"During 2018 I developed severe and chronic muscle spasms throughout my orofacial region, which later progressed to my neck and upper airway. These commenced during and following dental treatment by a practitioner in Northern Ireland.
I sought help from the following professionals ( I believe in chronological order )
- GP
- Dentist
- Specialist Prosthodontist
- Specialist Orthodontist
- Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon
- Consultant Orthodontist and Professor local dental hospital
- Senior Oral Medicine consultant
- Consultant and Clinical Director Neurology
- ENT consultant Clinical Director
Prior to visiting Dr Amir in Dec 2020, I had the following medical conditions, listed in order of significance to myself:
This is a condensed list:
- Palatal myoclonus;
- Spasms and contractions of the muscles of the soft palate and upper airway;
- Orofacial Dystonia;
- Spasms and muscle contractions of numerous facial muscles;
- Spasms and contractions of the neck and suboccipital muscles;
- Spasms of the eye muscles;
- Myofascial pain;
- Head, neck, shoulders, lower back pain;
- Breathing difficulty;
- Neck instability and pain;
- Jaw clicking, popping, muscle spasm;
- Severe facial tension, pain talking, swallowing;
Many of the medical conditions listed commenced following dental work I had done during 2018. This is a succinct description of the medical professionals I have seen prior to seeing Dr Amir. In summary, I have been diagnosed with palatal myoclonus and Dystonia
- GP referral to a maxillofacial surgeon;
- Medication;
- Dentist;
- Splint, did not help;
- Specialist Prosthodontist - Splint in the retruded contact position. Did not help and made some eye and facial spasms worse. He, however, acknowledged that there was a discrepancy between occlusion and muscles of mastication;
- Specialist Orthodontist - He acknowledged occlusion had been left in a very poor state but stepped aside once the dental hospital got involved;
- Maxillofacial surgeon who referred me to a dental hospital where I was prescribed medication;
- Consultant orthodontist / Professor Dental hospital who referred me to oral medicine where I was again prescribed medication;
Neurology referral - The neurologist acknowledged on several occasions he had seen similar symptoms with older patients on receiving ill-fitting dentures but referred me on to movement disorder in a local hospital. ( I have not followed through on this )
- ENT - To liaise with neurology. No cause found for severe breathing difficulty;
- Neuromuscular dentist - custom splint following upper body tens machine stimulation. I found some relief with both Palatal myoclonus and Dystonia symptoms. However, many other symptoms like neck, breathing, pain etc still existed.
Here are some links to published literature that shows a link between Palatal myoclonus and dental treatment:
Essential palatal myoclonus following dental surgery A case report.
I analysed many peer-reviewed publications and more importantly, I spoke to many people with Dystonia, whose symptoms were being relieved and cured with dental work and custom orthotics. Specifically to reposition the jaw. Unfortunately, I could find no real long term cure for the palatal myoclonus, from speaking personally to many folks inflicted with this condition.
I found Dr Amir’s site online and impressed with many of the patient reviews decided to fly over for a consultation. During the consultation, it became apparent Dr Amir was extremely knowledgeable in treating TMD and had many years of experience.
He outlined many aspects of my oral health and indicated that he believed both my jaws were mispositioned. He positioned my lower jaw and indicated that the occlusion should in fact be in a different position. In fact, he had exactly positioned me into more or less the same position which the neuromuscular dentist had. This was a significantly different jaw relationship to which my occlusion provided but yet gave some symptomatic relief. In the consultation I also noticed my breathing improved in this jaw relationship.
Dr Amir, did not commit to providing treatment at this stage, but rather, put together a comprehensive report on what dental treatment would be needed. He indicated he may be able to get my TMD symptoms stable, but indicated that he could not commit to resolving any of the other neuromuscular issues.
A week later I returned to Dr Amir with the desire to commence treatment for stabilising my jaw and TMD. A functional appliance was fitted and I returned home.
One month into treatment my palatal myoclonus is significantly reduced. My upper airway spasms are reduced. My breathing has noticeably improved.
Two months into treatment my palatal myoclonus is still significantly reduced. Note - I have spoken to many people with this condition and no one has found a cure. Many are in a cycle of botox, which in many cases ( personal experiences shared ) resulted in severe swallowing difficulty for weeks on end.
After two months I have found the following improvements:
- Neck instability is significantly reduced. Cervical Pain and cracking are almost forgotten.
- Breathing is improving but still not normal.
- Palatal Myoclonus reduced
- Dystonia of the fascial muscles improving. I have had several days where this has vanished. It is now intermittent but still present.
- Head and neck tension and pain are reducing.
In summary, I feel very lucky to know finally that I will be seeing some improvement in the many debilitating chronic symptoms I have. My family and I are very grateful to have found Dr Amir."
Note: Further submissions will be added as the patients treatment progresses.
Myoclonus is an alarmingly distressing symptom. An ocular connection is present but I have also come across an auricular version where the ear visibly twitched rhythmically and continuously. This had been successfully treated.
When a patient presents with a symptom that I have never even come across before, I do not initially give the patient any hope nor do I discuss the symptom at length.
On reading the questionnaire submissions and his initial email narrative I noted that the symptom had been caused during a dental intervention and subsequently he had received some respite with another dental intervention. I was therefore optimistic that I could possibly help this patient.
The patient is in a distressed state and my experiences show that there is only one way to fix any such problem which is a complex intervention as the patient had multiple anomalies. The patient was given a written report with all the complexities involved which he accepted.
The dictate of the dental governing body, probably formulated upon the advice of multiple experts such as the ones this patient unsuccessfully consulted with, is that I initially offer the patient simpler solutions to their jaw problem namely:
a) Advise the patients to eat soft foods;
b) Undertake jaw exercises;
c) Undertake physiotherapy;
d) Undertake Cognitive Behavioural Therapy;
e) Prescribe a bite raising splint.
If I offered such Mickey Mouse treatments to patients such as this patient, I would not make a 1% difference in their condition. I would actually multiply their problems for a number of reasons:
a) All the symptoms deteriorate and additional symptoms start when proper intervention is delayed.
b) Directing patients to eat soft food or undertake jaw exercises or physiotherapy is an opt-out for the practitioner and gives absolutely no comfort or relief to the patients' symptoms.
c) Directing patients towards CBT is almost telling them that their problem is a mental issue insulting their intelligence.
d) Splints always make patients worse by depressing their teeth deeper in the bone causing further deterioration of the jaw joint. A month down the road and the patient soon notices that they have more pain than they started with.
However, patients arriving here have usually considered and tried most of these and many other modalities of care. Some have spent a £100K on their treatment and gotten only worse. Others have been on such merry-go-rounds for thirty years and still as desperate if not more so as the first day they set out to get some relief from their symptoms.
Our office and other like-minded practitioners around the world, are usually the patients' last port of call. We cannot continue to give them treatments which have never made one iota of difference to patient symptomatology.
Dissenting doctors are being intimidated into silence. Here's how it happens.
David Healy | Professor in Psychological Medicine, critic of lack of neutrality on psychotropic drugs.
"Behind medicine's apparent Biblical authority lies an inquisitional apparatus aimed at silencing dissent. It is run by corporate PR and scientific planning agencies, backed by academic expertise, and its aim is to ensure that prescribing doctors keep on prescribing. The heretic ends up in the broad light of day, but the persecutor hides in the shadows.
I should know. In a lecture for the Institute of Art and Ideas, I outlined some of the many things that can be done to intimidate doctors – especially those who suggest that a brand-name drug might have significant adverse events. At the time the talk was being given I was being referred again to the General Medical Council (GMC)......"
"...........In fact, it is extraordinarily easy to intimidate doctors. One simple clinical misstep can lead to a complaint and an action against a doctor. And clinical practice inevitably gives rise to missteps. Once it does, the GMC can be used as a weapon to silence dissent. Wonderful though the GMC can be, its role is asymmetric. It will not take action against doctors working for pharmaceutical companies who put out grossly misleading information about the lethal hazards of the latest blockbuster drug. It won’t take an action based on its own Good Prescribing Practice against doctors who without seeing the data put their names to articles that encourage doctors to prescribe drugs that are ineffective and dangerous."
"..............The view that medicine should be evidence-based and that doctors should adhere to the evidence has become increasingly solidified in recent years. Linked to this, an ever-increasing proportion of the population is on an ever greater number of medicines for ever longer periods of time. Meanwhile, treatment-induced death has become one of the three leading causes of death.
"....Randomised controlled trials have become the gold standard way to hide adverse events and their blind adoption is arguably a mistake of historic proportions......
".....The medical literature has become ghost-written. Close to the entire literature stemming from clinical trials of on-patent drugs is ghost-written and the raw data from those trials is inaccessible. Nobody – not even the regulators – gets to see it."
Intimidation comes from stepping even slightly away from Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)
Please read this link also.
Here is an excerpt:
"Setting up evidence-based trials appears derisory. We have been doing it forever. All it has produced is widespread chronic illness and drugs some at extortionate costs, which have never cured any patients but regularly cause serious adverse effects needing even more drugs leading to unworkable polypharmacy with no end in sight.
We need a multidisciplinary approach or a Functional Medicine approach to care for the sick. None of which our professional bodies are designed to tolerate as it affects the cosy relationships and revolving door appointments between the governing bodies and commercial interests."
"Dear Dr Amir, I hope you are keeping safe and well during Covid.
I am contacting you in the hope that you may be able to help me with some medical/dental issues that I am currently experiencing.
Many years ago (1999) I had braces/restorative work done at my local dental hospital, and during this treatment, I started developing some nagging symptoms. E.g. Pain behind eyes, tension headaches etc. I had been very fit and healthy prior to this and took a regular part in competitive bike racing.
As time went on, my health worsened into tiredness, sinus like pressure in my head, tension headaches and poor sleep. I followed the conventional route through my GP and undertook scans of my head etc. but nothing ever showed up. My GP suspected I might have fibromyalgia. I tried to just put up with it."
My Comment:Please note that a diagnosis of 'Fibromyalgia' is very suspect and while some 800,000 people have been given this label, probably none have any such artificially created disease. The medical fraternity have cleverly selected a certain cluster of symptoms which cause certain painful areas in the body and called such cluster of symptoms a separate "disease" - Fibromyalgia(FM) or Fibromyalgia Syndrome.
When properly evaluated patients labelled with FM have many more symptoms than what convention dictates. Here is a graph which many patients will find useful.
Fibromyalgia patients have very similar symptoms to those labelled with CFS
It is extremely easy for patients to go through their symptoms and realise that what they are really suffering is represented in the graph above rather than in the “disease profile” generated by numerous authoritative groups and societies about "Fibromyalgia".
The crux of the matter is that treating any of the individual symptoms or a small group of symptoms in the real disease profile absolutely no resolution comes about of ANY symptom. Treating the jaw asymmetries rapidly starts resolving most of the symptoms.
"Fast forward to 2017, I had found some information on TMD and sought out a dentist locally. I discovered my jaw muscles were actually referring pain, especially my lateral Pterygoid and Masseter muscles. A short trial with an NTI splint brought significant relief and we also noticed my lower jaw seemed to want to relax slightly to one side of my habitual bite.
A local dentist fitted an upper expander (RN Saggital) and over some months, I developed spaces forwards and outwards. After about 6 months, I had a significant amount of relief. My lower jaw came forward and over to the left. I believe it re-centred and it appeared to match my facial midline, but somehow the upper jaw seemed slightly to the right. By now, symptoms had reduced considerably.
However, instead of restoring me at this bite, the dentist wanted to continue with expansion braces. He fitted me with top and bottom braces. Slowly over time, I seemed to lose my 'bite', which had brought relief, and the symptoms came back.
To try to even out my bite, he filed some teeth on one side.
At this point, I decided to stop treatment and let nature take its course. Unfortunately, as the expansion relapsed, I started developing some muscle spasms and very sore muscles around my face and surrounding areas. For these symptoms to subside, I let things settle for about 4 months. Then the following merry go round occurred:
- GP referral to a maxillo-facial surgeon for muscle spasms." Comment:An utter waste of time has been the experience of almost every patient I have seen. Generally, a maxillofacial surgeon has little or no knowledge of orthodontics and even less about functional orthodontics.
"- Maxillo-facial referral to dental hospital to review poor bite." Comment: I am hardly surprised.
"- Dental hospital orthodontist referral to oral medicine because the bite cannot cause muscle spasm". Comment:A pathetic understanding of orthodontics as I see regularly among numerous patient experiences. An orthodontist who may have an advanced degree in orthodontics is not necessarily equipped with the knowledge about the intricate relationship of occlusion with the rest of the body, as this is not taught in dental colleges. They often perpetuate the illness with their extraction orthodontics dogma.
"- Oral medicine consultant - told me I should leave occlusion alone and take amitriptyline. Even though I informed the consultant that 17 years of TMD had previously been resolved with a different jaw position. "
Comment:Amitriptyline is the chief cop-out for many symptoms. Probably a million patients in the UK take this drug with possibly ZERO outcomes. Patients remain hooked on it for years and still have all their symptoms.
For informational purposes, NICE guidelines recommend this drug as an initial treatment for 'neuropathic pain' in the non-specialist setting.
It is actually a tricyclic antidepressant and it is widely prescribed for the treatment of depression and 'depression of late-life'. Pharmacologically its most important effect is the decreased reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin.
It is however also prescribed for many other conditions including TMJD. A physical problem cannot be treated by drugs. The information provided on this web site will show you that many of these symptoms are dental in origin and do not warrant a prescription of Amytriptylline.
"- Oral medicine consultant referred me to neurology due to jaw spasms and facial spasms.
- Neurology diagnosed me with Oromandibular dystonia and dystonia of soft palate." Comment:Plenty of fancy names but no real treatment coming forth. Unbelievable. And we all pay for this expertise!
"- Dental hospital will not do anything now neurology is involved." Comment: In medicine neurology is like visiting the almighty. In the experience of very many patients and my own investigations, nothing could be further from the truth.
"The neurologist has indicated he thinks it's dental-related but has referred me to the movement disorder ward for Botox. (I do not want the Botox)" Comment:You are intelligent. You are lucky you were not recruited into Multiple Sclerosis.
"I apologise for the in-depth commentary above. As you can see, I feel I have exhausted the NHS and even private standard healthcare." Comment: I have at least a couple of hundred patients who have gone through this merry go round. You described it very aptly.
"I would like to leave everything alone but during the last 6 months, I have started developing breathing issues and neck pain. I would best describe this as postural collapse, and I strongly believe my bite is contributing to a twisted neck/head position. I believe this to be structural and certainly not anxiety-based." Comment:You are absolutely correct. The breathing issue may have been present at the start of your problems and perhaps you have become more aware of it now. Extensive experience shows a link between the jaw asymmetry and the ability to breathe; impairment in breathing can cause numerous symptoms, thus fixing the jaw problem may resolve the breathing problems and consequently, the secondary symptoms may subside.
"I am currently managing with a flat plane splint and visits to a local osteopath, but it does not hold." Comment:Splints have unpredictable outcomes and are possibly a damaging choice of appliance over the longer term.
"I found no relief in any medication provided other than sedating me." Comment:There is no medicine out there for PHYSICAL dental problems which are unfortunately being treated medically wth drugs.
"As such, I am only occasionally taking Paracetamol and Baclofen on a needed basis.
I found your website an amazing wealth of information and I hope you will see me for a consultation to see if you would be able to help."
Comment: unfortunately, the experience of this patient is no different from that of thousands of others who seek help from the hospital maxillofacial and neurology departments. The specialists are often out of their depth in the modern concept of Functional Orthodontics and body symmetry and yet authoritatively hold opinions which are often divorced from reality and adversely affect the lives of thousands of long-suffering patients.
The specialists, who are in the driving seat of dentistry, display an utter lack of proper inquiry into the subject before dispensing their opinions. The irony is that they are the ones that the General Dental Council turns to for expert opinions on the formulation of policy and prosecution of dentists. My personal experience shows that their knowledge about this revolutionary subject is absent and yet their dictums are followed to formulate policies that affect thousands of dentists and in turn deprive patients of proper and timely treatment.
The subject of malocclusion with its unavoidable and often severe impacts on the rest of the organic, neurological, musculoskeletal and vascular systems is ill-understood. Dentists are the only ones who can help millions of sick patients but it needs the encouragement and active support of the GDC.
Orthodontics has moved out of the dark ages into a new era of looking at a total patient not just their teeth. Peoples' health is hanging perilously by the state and position of their teeth. A radical change inpatient care is warranted and IMMEDIATELY with the all-encompassing concept of 'Cranio Dental and Skeletal symmetry'™.
Here are the words of the late Dr Al Fonder, one of many, very reputable authorities in dentistry, in a publication dated 1977:
"The bite of the teeth plays a very important and central role in maintaining symmetry and balance throughout the muscular system of the body as we shall describe below. When the bite is off balance it will result in changes throughout the body, weakening pathways through the muscular system that follow the course of the Acupuncture Myofascial Meridians. There will also be disruption to the Autonomic Nervous System that controls the automatic functions of the body including our breath, heart rate variability and digestive function."
We are still in the dark ages after 43 years of Dr Al Fonder's work. It is difficult to envisage how under the auspices of characters bent upon perverting the course of justice, dentistry can ever be properly modernised and utilised for the attainment of true health and the elimination of chronic illness in society.

Here is a Google review by a patient just published:
I first met Dr Amir four years ago after my daughter had been referred to the orthodontist for dental overcrowding. We were told she'd need the extraction of four healthy teeth in order that the others could be straightened to properly fit her jaw. This seemed so brutal that we looked for other treatment possibilities and were relieved to find Dr Amir. Over the course of 18 months, he slowly brought her jaw forwards and expanded her palate, allowing all her teeth the space to align properly. The end result was an even smile and improved jawline, all without losing a single tooth. We were so happy Dr. Amir had achieved such an excellent result without unnecessary extractions.
Having spoken to other patients who've been helped by his approach I decided to begin treatment with Dr. Amir myself about a month ago. I have suffered from TMJ dysfunction for many years and was also diagnosed with MS in 2015. As I have a progressive type of MS there is very little available to me other than one very heavy immune-stripping drug which I've been apprehensive to try.
Over the past few years, my mobility has worsened and I had developed crushing neck pain, unrelenting headaches, and lower back pain which were at times very debilitating. I'd become accustomed to waking up feeling unrested and exhausted and also feeling breathless and unable to take in enough air. I assumed this was just part of MS as visits to osteopaths and chiropractors only provided temporary relief and symptoms would return within a few days.
I have been surprised by the speed at which the following symptoms have improved:
Within hours of being fitted with the first dental brace, my headache began to lift. The next morning I woke up feeling properly rested for the first time in ages and my neck pain was gone. Over the next few days, I began to notice I had much more energy, better color, my breathing felt much freer and my lower back pain had completely disappeared. I'm extremely grateful to be free of these symptoms after struggling with them for several years and look forward to seeing how much more improvement to my mobility might be achieved with continuing treatment.
I can thoroughly recommend Dr. Amir as an extremely dedicated and caring doctor who goes out of his way to help patients in any way he can.
"While searching on the internet for a more lasting solution to my severe hip pain, I am so grateful to have found Dr Amir, who is one of a kind! I was so thrilled to read on his website that he not only treats back pain but has had success with helping patients heal from a multitude of serious chronic health issues— which I have also suffered from for the past 14 years. I read on his site that wisdom teeth extractions and unnecessary orthodontic interventions can be a root cause of many chronic illnesses, and I realized I fit that description completely. It suddenly clicked that the downward spiral of my health corresponded with having all four of my wisdom teeth out at age 17!!!
When I saw Dr Amir he confirmed my suspicions that the unnecessary orthodontics and extractions I had were causing a lot of my problems (chronic fatigue, digestive issues, inability to gain weight, inability to exercise, neck pain, hip pain etc). He also said I couldn’t breathe adequately because my jaw was now so misaligned, and breathing is of course critical to health!
Ever since I embarked on the treatment in January, I can say that I have felt definite and exciting improvements. Very soon after Dr Amir gave me my first brace, the hip pain I had been suffering from vastly improved and is now almost gone. I had been continuously seeing a chiropractor for almost three years prior to this, who had only been able to offer me two-week periods of relief after every treatment! Over the past several months, more and more colour has come back into my face, for the first time in 14 years. I have less trouble falling and staying asleep, and I get less fatigued while working. I don’t have to eat quite as much to stay full or maintain a decent weight- and I believe this is because my digestion is gradually improving. I am a singer and the improvement in my stamina and breath control since the treatment started has been significant and wholeheartedly appreciated. I still have some way to go in regaining my energy and being able to exercise and live a full life, but I know there is still more work to be done on my jaw. I feel confident that I will continue to feel gains with Dr Amir’s treatment, which is proving to be so crucial for me.
Dr. Amir is a rare doctor and a rare human being, as many of his other reviews will also confirm. He is dedicated to real healing and understands there is something fundamentally wrong with the way most chronic illness is “diagnosed” and handled. His revolutionary treatment deserves to be much more widely known and implemented."
A recent research article about missing wisdom teeth portrayed as an evolutionary event alarmed me a bit.
The research by Australian scientists says:
"More people are being born without wisdom teeth and an extra artery in their arm as a result of a human "microevolution" in recent years, a study has found.
Babies now have shorter faces, smaller jaws and extra bones in their legs and feet, a study in the Journal of Anatomy found.
Australian researchers who worked on the paper claim the human race is evolving faster than it has done at any point in the past 250 years.
Over time, human faces have got shorter, which has seen our mouths get smaller, with less room for as many teeth.
As part of natural selection and our increased ability to chew food, this has resulted in fewer people being born with wisdom teeth, Dr Teghan Lucas from Flinders University, Adelaide, said.
"A lot of people thought humans have stopped evolving. But our study shows we are still evolving - faster than at any point in the past 250 years," she added."
Comment:Evolution means development, getting better and thus more able to face adversity. The loss of wisdom teeth and smaller mouths and faces are no evolutionary event. It is a serious decline in health due to various reasons as explained by Dr Weston Price. Missing wisdom teeth lead to a serious imbalance of the head over the neck causing neck pain, breathing problems, back pain and a host of other issues as extensively explained on this Website. I have been seeing this serious decline in patient health for thirty years. So please exercise great caution. Dentists often feel very free to extract wisdom teeth in view of such research. Please be warned that you may be crippling patients to lifelong ill health in the process. Missing wisdom teeth or extracted wisdom teeth both lead to ill health.
Original article:
I have often mentioned the name of Dr Weston Price when discussing the causes of dento-facial asymmetries and crowded teeth with patients. His work is much better described in an article which appeared in the Ecologist Magazine during 2003. I think this was the best article I have read regarding the work of Dr Weston Price so I recommend that you read it and also visit the links below if you wish to know more.
'The Ecologist', which was headed by the highly respected member of parliament Mr Zac Goldsmith, also happens to be the best magazine of its kind around which is not controlled by corporations nor does it advertise.
Article by Sally Fallon
1st July 2003
"In the 1930s US dentist, Weston Price travelled the world to study the diets of ‘primitive’ peoples. He found a startling lack of disease and proof that a system of environmentally-friendly local food production is the best way to ensure human health.
In the US, one person in three suffers from allergies, one in 10 will have ulcers and one in five is mentally ill. Every year a quarter of a million infants are born with a birth defect who then undergo expensive surgery or are hidden away in institutions. Other degenerative diseases - arthritis, multiple sclerosis, digestive disorders, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and chronic fatigue - afflict a significant majority of US citizens. And learning disabilities such as dyslexia and hyperactivity make life miserable for 7 million young people and their parents.
These diseases were extremely rare only a generation or two ago. Today, chronic illness afflicts nearly half of all Americans and causes three out of four deaths in the US. Most tragically, these diseases, formerly experienced only by the very old, now strike children and those in the prime of life. We have almost forgotten that our natural state is one of balance, wholeness and vitality.
Things were not so bad in the 1930s, but the situation was already then serious enough to alarm one dentist in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr Weston Price was reluctant to accept the conditions exhibited by his patients as normal. Rarely... ">>Read more

"The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) is your source for accurate information on nutrition and health, always aiming to provide the scientific validation of traditional foodways. People seeking health today often condemn certain food groups -- such as grains, dairy foods, meat, salt, fat, sauces, sweets and nightshade vegetables -- but the Wise Traditions Diet is inclusive, not exclusive."
The main points to remember from this video are:
1) If your dentist has not gone bankrupt already he will shortly.
2) If he is still around he may not be able to see you without quadrupling your fees.
3) If you are accepted to be seen you will have to complete an online form 3 days before visiting your dentist.
4) You have to have a phone consultation the day before arrival.
5) On arrival, you have to wait outside until called in.
6) You have to remove all excess clothing and put in a sterilised box in the waiting area before going into the surgery wearing a mask.
7) You cannot converse with the dentist. All conversations have to be done before your visit or after your visit. The special masks required cannot be found anywhere!!!!!!. If they can be purchased they cost about £25.00 per mask.
9) The fees will have to reflect the fact that a dentist can only see a maximum of one patient for 15 minutes and then the sterilisation procedures for 45 minutes. If an aerosol drill has been used, it may also require to leave the room unattended for one hour before any sterilisation procedure can begin.
Private dentists would have to quadruple their fees. Getting your teeth cleaned may cost £300, a crown £2,000.
It will be cheaper to fly to Turkey to have everything done.
I have my sons with extensive multi surgery practices in the USA. The emphasis there is to improve air quality like the use of ultraviolet lights in air conditioning systems which are viricidal and bactericidal, special HEPA filter air cleaners, high volume suction machines to suck up all the aerosols direct from around the mouth, taking patient temperatures on arrival, the completion of pre-treatment COVID questionnaires, using disposable aprons and regalia between each patient, strict and very clear instructions on how patients and staff must function.
The special masks required cannot be found anywhere!!!!!!. If they can be purchased they cost about £25.00 per mask.
