For the last 40 years, I have observed and had concluded that all viral infections RAPIDLY lead to secondary bacterial infections. Indeed many of my patients will be aware of my thoughts on this subject over very many years.
This position has not changed and with the arrival of the Covid-19, I have been letting many of my patients know that they must insist on an antibiotic if they fall ill. This should be done on DAY ONE as soon as it is established that serious illness has started.
The failings of appropriate TIMELY (This means not when the patient is already at an advanced stage of illness, as this will give dubious outcomes) antibiotic treatment in cases of Covid-19 patients are more than likely allowing the bacteria to fulminate causing the rapid demise of the patients. Bacterial pneumonia can cause death within 24 hours if intravenous antibiotics are not deployed. I have seen it happen.
I noticed one evening on TV, a few weeks ago, that the German Chancellor Angela Merkel was being given a pneumococcal vaccine. The news was on TV because the doctor administering the vaccine was later reported to be Covid-19 positive. This is perhaps a very wise move on the part of the German authorities to prevent complications caused by BACTERIAL pneumonia - not viral as it is extensively purported.
During this present pandemic, I am very concerned that many deaths are perhaps preventable using knowledge gained from previous epidemics rather than following some modern medical 'who shot John' philosophy of single pathogen causality about which I have been overly informed ad nauseam over the years. The single pathogen mantra that many in medicine follow is deeply flawed. Also starting the antibiotics or antivirals late in the day is unhelpful. Patients entering the hospital should be immediately put on IV antibiotics without any pondering. Recovery starts immediately and patients are better within 24 hours.
I decided to do some research to support my thoughts about THE SECONDARY BACTERIAL HYPOTHESIS needing antibiotic use and within seconds came across this article written during 2012:
Secondary bacterial infections common with viruses
Researchers discuss secondary pneumococcus after influenza and other lethal viral–bacterial interactions.
Some key points from this article are:
“The concept of coinfection was lost for several decades due to the breakdown into a one-pathogen, one-host model.”
"Similarities between the 1918 and the 2009 influenza H1N1 pandemics that brought [BACTERIAL] coinfections back to the front of the discussion" is noted.
"Data indicated that as many as 50% of severe or fatal H1N1 infections were complicated by a secondary bacterial infection.
"An overwhelming number of deaths occurred in children who had secondary bacterial infections.”
"Pathological specimens from the 1918 influenza pandemic show that over 90% of the people who died in that pandemic died from secondary bacterial infections.”
The concept of 'one-pathogen, one-host' model is plain lunacy. The medical advice is reminiscent of our hospitals where the outcomes of almost every department (except surgery) are zilch. Many articles on this website are a testament to this dastardly state of affairs.
If such personnel are now in charge of dictating policy for Corvid-19 patients, God help us all. They are very busy trying a number of different drug strategies on thousands of patients sending some to certain death instead of the tried and tested method of using an antibiotic at the outset!
Even ancient people living in the heart of the Amazon rain forest who could be wiped out by the Coronavirus were wise enough to use an antibiotic along with their herbal medication to get a 100% cure rate when all the inhabitants contracted the virus in one village according to a BBC report on the 5th of June 2020.
Thankfully a new video has just been released where a german forensic pathologist confirms the presence of bacterial pneumonia in all autopsies:
"Blood pressure medication is one factor that's making the COVID-19 virus lethal. The drugs increase the chances of viral pneumonia and fatal respiratory failure. People who are taking an ACE inhibitor or an ARB drug for heart problems should stay at home and not meet up with people, say researchers from Louisiana State University. Dr Malcolm Kendrick, a UK GP, estimates that people taking one of the drugs are four times more likely to die from the virus.
The drugs also increase the chances of catching the virus in the first place. ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors in particular increase the receptors around the lungs that the coronavirus also binds to. A widely used example is Ramipril in the UK.
We do know that:
● The virus can spread up to 27 feet following a sneeze and persist at 6 feet for up to 2 minutes during a sneeze or a cough.
● The virus is much more infectious than the flu virus.
● People can spread it several days before developing symptoms.
● Simply talking to other people closely for a period of time can potentially transmit infection hence the need for maintaining distance.
● The virus can linger on surfaces for up to several days especially plastic and metallic surfaces.
● Well-fitting masks, eye protection, and strict hand hygiene is our best defence against infection transmission.
● We also now know from autopsy results that patients are dying with clots in their legs and lungs. This calls for taking at least one aspirin a day the moment you think you have the infection.
We do not yet know:
● Exactly HOW lethal this virus and the new variant is, we will not know until a large cross-section of the population has been tested. (Please note these tests are not the panacea as claimed. They are only about 50% accurate!)
● It is not known whether these detectable virus particles from surfaces can actually cause infection so we must act as if they can.
● Whether any one of us has been exposed or not.
● Who can potentially infect us, so all people must be assumed to be a potential source!
We also face a huge assault from daily chemtrail spraying of the skies with nanoparticles of Aluminium and Strontium severely affecting our immune systems. Keep an eye on the sky and you will see long trails that form the nanoparticle aluminium clouds making the blue skies a hazy white. The particles descend and get inhaled into every organ in our bodies. Aluminium causes brain diseases like dementia and strontium causes cancer.
5G microwave radiation generating lamp posts are rapidly being installed all around the country in every street further destroying our immune systems. The lights on these lamposts have a pointy cone on the top and are easily recognisable. They generate 2400 volts of energy which a lamp does not need but 5G transmissions do. They are right outside people's bedroom windows. It is ironic that our governments are paying billions for this technology. You may have found that your existing 4G connections are getting weaker and fall off too often now disconnecting you from the internet. This is to sneakily make people sign up for 5G transmissions.
In a recent article Dr Mercola says:
“SARS-CoV-2 appears to be a bioengineered bat coronavirus13 — which was initially benign and nontransmittable to humans. Zhengli then genetically modified the virus to integrate spike proteins that allow the virus to enter human cells by attaching to ACE-2 receptors. That was the first modification.
The second modification was to integrate an envelope protein from HIV called GP141, which tends to impair the immune system. A third modification appears to involve nanotechnology to make the virus light enough to remain airborne for a long time, apparently giving it a range of up to 27 feet.”
Dr Mercola further adds:
“While the BSL4 lab in Wuhan may have leaked the virus, its creation does not appear to be limited to the Chinese…….., the chairman of the Harvard department of chemistry, nanoscience expert Dr. Charles Lieber, was arrested earlier this year by federal agencies, suspected of illegal dealings with China. Lieber has denied the allegations.
The Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) allegedly paid him $50,000 a month from 2012 to 2017 to help establish and oversee the WUT-Harvard Joint Nano Key Laboratory. He also received another $150,000 a month in living expenses from China’s Thousand Talents program. The problem was, Harvard officials claim they had not approved the lab and didn’t know about it until 2015.”

On the 25th of June.2020 Dr Mercola further exposes the cabal: "Forbes’ June 7, 2020, article on a Norwegian report that claims to present proof that SARS-CoV-2 is a laboratory creation was almost immediately altered to reflect the opposing view."
It is easy to see how the media is manipulating the truth and making it into the myth of a "conspiracy theory". This stance misrepresents the fact that a "conspiracy theorist" is a person who researches a subject and then uses logic and critical thinking skills to form an educated opinion about that subject instead of blindly accepting whatever is presented through the news media as exposed above.
It is very similar when one looks into Chemtrails. Our blue skies have disappeared. There are chemtrails on a daily basis by dedicated aeroplanes. Now they have also recruited many commercial careers to spread the aluminium in the chemtrails but when you Google chemtrails it comes with dozens of articles saying that these are conspiracy theories; that the chemtrails are contrails. Damn it, there are no commercial flights at present and yet the skies are hazy white from horizon to horizon.
It has been reported that very many patients have only mild symptoms. Therefore in spite of the evil-doers, there may be some hope of combating these assaults. We are also told that at some stage almost everyone has to get infected. So the strategy must be to build our own immune system so that we are minimally impacted should we have the misfortune to become victims.
During these hard times, it is important to find very inexpensive ways to protect yourself. My strategy is that almost everyone with very little expense can look after themselves.
The first line of our body that confronts a viral assault is our innate immune system which is inherited.
The antimicrobial function of innate immunity is mediated, in part, by small cationic peptides with potent antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, parasites, and some viruses. Human antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) such as defensins and cathelicidin (LL-37) are present in leukocytes and are also secreted by various epithelia in the skin and mucosal surfaces including the ocular surface. In addition to their antimicrobial role, AMPs also serve as important effector molecules in inflammation, immune activation, and wound healing.
Having a strong well functioning immune system is the key. Our gut is intimately involved in the maintenance of our immune systems. Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is a prominent part of mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) and represents almost 70% of the entire immune system. About 80% of plasma cells [mainly immunoglobulin A (IgA)-bearing cells] reside in GALT.
For the immune system to build and maintain itself we need a very well functioning gut. There are numerous reasons for the gut function to be compromised:
1) Improper functioning of the gut because of a poor breathing capacity due to jaw issues. This usually involves the correction of the issues involved OR minimally wearing a specially constructed dental appliance to aid breathing ability.
2) Improper breathing technique. This can be improved by practising belly or diaphragmatic breathing.
3) The consumption of processed foods and drinks. All these harm our digestive and immune systems and one needs to abstain from any processed foods including sausages, cold processed meats and other processed foods.
4) One has to completely abstain from various energy drinks which contain artificial sugars as these harm the immune system.
Dietry requirements to improve the gut immune function.
Nourishing our gut to promote an effective immune system we need to consume the following:
1) Consume live yoghurt or Kaffir on a daily basis.
2) Consume garlic. The health benefits of garlic are brought about by sulphur compounds formed when a garlic clove is chopped. These compounds include diallyl disulfide and s-allyl cysteine plus allicin which forms soon after the clove is cut. Garlic has been shown to reduce flu-type symptoms and the duration of the infection by 60 to 70%. Whether this is a direct effect on the virus or a contribution to a better immune system is unimportant. The main outcome is a better ability to fight viral infections naturally.
Garlic supplements also benefit in other ways mainly a reduction in high blood pressure, an improvement in our Cholesterol levels prolonging life, and increases in antioxidative enzymes reducing damage to the body. Garlic also provides protection from heavy metal toxicity and from Aluminium chemtrail poisoning from the skies on a daily basis.
Cut one clove of garlic into small slices left open in the air for a minute or two and then swallowed with water or milk each evening. Start with a quarter clove and build to one clove. After a month you may feel your body is saturated and then you can reduce or stop the intake for a week or two before resuming. Garlic is antiviral and anti-microbial. The uncooked form is much better. This garlic can be consumed with yoghurt or Kaffir mentioned earlier, which is an additional requirement for a healthy functioning gut.
3) Ginger: Patients can consume a maximum of 3–4 grams of ginger extract per day but a pregnant woman should take only 1 gram and should be avoided in children under the age of 2. If you have any heart problems or you are on any medication for high blood pressure please do not use this supplement as it may raise your blood pressure in some patients.
To help the gut function better grate a tablespoon full of fresh Ginger, boil this in six cups of water until it reduces to about three cups and drink one cup daily. It aids digestion. You may add some honey to improve the taste. Ginger supports the immune system, it thins the blood improving the circulation and lowering the blood pressure. Ginger has 63 nutrients that our immune system needs. It also prevents premature ageing. Ginger root is also anti-inflammatory, improves heart health, helps expel free radicals from the body, and helps lower cholesterol.
Adequate levels of Zinc, Selenium Vitamin A, Vitamin C , Vitamin D and Magnesium are important. Zinc is plentiful in cashews and pistachio nuts. Selenium can be obtained by consuming a couple of Brazil nuts a day. The best source of Vitamin C is lemons and limes. You can squeeze and drink the juice but please ensure you use a straw to drink the juice otherwise you may damage your teeth.
Another interesting concept is ORAC which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It's a lab test that attempts to quantify the "total antioxidant capacity" (TAC) of a food by placing a sample of the food in a test tube, along with certain molecules that generate free radical activity and certain other molecules that are vulnerable to oxidation. The highest ORAC value is found in cloves. These can be consumed by adding a couple of cloves in a hot cup of water and drinking the tea followed by consuming the cloves. There is some controversy about ORAC value uses in terms of health but consuming 2 cloves a day can harm no one but could provide a huge health benefit.
Roll of Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Magnesium:
There is a preponderance of deaths in the non-white community with up to a factor 4 times more deaths in the black community. Research has established a direct link with low levels of Vitamin D in people with darker skin. During the 2003 SARS epidemic, Chinese doctors discovered that Patients who had high levels of Vitamin D were less affected. So they advised their nation to supplement with Vitamin D. However a further re-occurrence of SARS during 2005 showed that patients with high Vitamin D were still getting affected while some did not. Further research revealed that it is a balance of Vitamin A and Vitamin D which gave the best recovery outcomes. Vitamin A can be obtained by eating dried orange coloured apricots. Eating the kernel seed is also extremely helpful.
To increase the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation Dr Mercola advises the following:
"Since over half the population does not get enough magnesium, and far more are likely deficient, magnesium supplementation is recommended when taking vitamin D supplements. This is because magnesium helps to activate vitamin D, as the enzymes that metabolize vitamin D in the liver and kidneys require magnesium. In fact, about half of those taking vitamin D supplements are unable to normalize their vitamin D levels until they take magnesium.
GrassrootsHealth found that those who do not take supplemental magnesium need, on average, 146% more vitamin D to achieve a blood level of 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L), compared to those who take at least 400mg of Magnesium daily."
Supplementation is very cheap but treating the patient for COVID 19 very expensive. Treatment should be patient-centred not doctor ego-centred.
Please watch this video about our microbiome and having a good digestive system:
Primarily please follow the governments' advice on isolation and social distancing measures. Wearing a mask or a face covering to protect OTHERS is very courteous, respectful to the health of our fellow beings and important because if everyone else is so protected simple maths will show that this can reduce the spread of this infection massively.
It is well known that the virus initially manifests itself in the nostrils and the throat.
The first line of defence is to carry a small sniffing bottle with a tiny amount of Tea Tree oil and using it whenever you go out or travel in public transport wards of the flu virus. It may also do the same for the Corona virus. I have gone flu-free for some three years now using organic Tea Tree oil sniffing it only if I think I may be exposed. It may well help to avoid Covid-19 virus too but no warranties are given. I have not had to take any antibiotics during this period as I have not picked up flu in spite of seeing numerous patients walking in with flu.
Because the virus initially attacks the nose and throat it is imperative to use hot salt water which is a potent killer of viruses and bacteria. Gargling with hot saltwater is most important at the FIRST sign of a cough. The moment you experience any feelings of irritation in the throat please gargle with hot salt water. You must also wash your nostrils out with warm hot saltwater using a netty pot. Please ensure that for the nostrils you use preboiled hot saltwater to avoid parasitic infection of the meninges.
If one takes the example of cold sores attributable to the herpes simplex virus which many suffer from it is claimed that if one uses an antiviral cream as soon as it starts it will go away more easily. However, I have never seen any change in the lesion whether applied early or late. However, if one uses salt on the developing lesion every half hour it does not even develop fully and often times NEVER returns again!
At last this morning June 25th. 2020 an article appears on the BBC website:
PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY TOOTHPASTE OR ANTISEPTIC MOUTHWASHES. If you have a slimy sticky mouth this is due to the nasty antiseptics in these materials which kill all the essential commensal bacteria in our mouths allowing very dangerous organisms to proliferate.
The main ones are the development of Staphylococcus Aureus and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa dominant biofilm infection which PREVENT ANY HEALING OF THE THROAT if a new viral infection manifests itself. If you wake up with bad breath than you know you suffer from such an infection. One can only imagine how lethal secondary viral or bacterial infection under these circumstances can become if one gets infected with Covid-19. Please read my articles on oral hygiene and the use of saltwater on this website.
1.) Here is some information by Dr Mercola on the use of a nebuliser inhaling Hydrogen Peroxide which IS AN ANTISEPTIC.
He says:
"Nebulized hydrogen peroxide therapy is an inexpensive and simple way to treat most viral respiratory illnesses
All you need is a nebulizer with a face mask that covers your mouth and nose, and food-grade hydrogen peroxide, diluted to 1%
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) consists of a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom. The oxygen inactivates viral pathogens by breaking down the viral structure
Additionally, your immune cells actually produce hydrogen peroxide. This is in part how your immune system kills infected cells. Hydrogen peroxide therapy aids your immune cells to perform their natural function more effectively
To prevent an infection from taking hold, begin treatment at the first signs of symptoms."
Please listen to the video in this link from Dr Mercola.
If you still continue to deteriorate after trying hot salt water and nebulised Hydrogen peroxide than I think it is time for further antiviral and antibiotic treatment. Some experiments are starting using just antivirals. If given at a very early stage they might succeed. Early antibiotic supplementation will be essential otherwise the researchers are going to end up with dubious results.
Here is an excerpt from a very disturbing article about the impending vaccines by Dr Mercola:
"Dangerous coronavirus experiments led by Dr. Anthony Fauci went on in the U.S. until 2014 when President Obama ordered the work to stop due to safety violations at three Biolabs. Fauci then moved the operations to the Wuhan lab in China and continued coronavirus experiments right up until the time that the COVID-19 pandemic occurred.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have been generated to ensure that dangerous coronavirus research would continue and receive fresh funding.
To accelerate a virus’ evolution, you grow it in several types of animal tissue, such as pangolin kidney tissue followed by feral monkey kidney cells and mouse brain tissue.
Each time you transfer the virus to another animal tissue, mutations occur. There’s also evidence showing these animal cell lines are contaminated with coronaviruses and retroviruses, which end up contaminating the vaccines grown in them.
Coronavirus vaccine development has proven very difficult over the past 30 years, as the vaccines create very robust antibody response, but when the patient encounters the wild virus, they become severely ill and often die — a reaction known as paradoxical immune response or paradoxical immune enhancement."
"Sanofi (SASY.PA) revealed in November that Dengvaxia - the world’s first dengue vaccine - might increase the risk of severe disease in people who had never been exposed to the virus. The news prompted an uproar in the Philippines, where more than 800,000 school-age children had been vaccinated."
I would stay completely away from these vaccines. Bill's endowment fermented institutions are responsible for a great deal of tragedy in the world. Death from Dengue fever vaccine in Pakistan and the Philippines.
Flaccid paralysis in 500,000 children with the polio vaccine in India and also amongst thousands of poor destitute refugee children in Syria from these dastardly vaccines have been implicated.
Here an Italian MP speaks out about the tragedy unfolding before our very eyes:
Nearly four decades and 32 million deaths later, the world is still waiting for an HIV vaccine.
Breaking news16th June 2020:
"Dexamethasone found to reduce deaths by 35%. Major breakthrough! No doubt about it!" say the pundits!
Breaking news 2nd September 2020 - they found that hydrocortisone is just as effective!
Is it really a new finding?
It has been shown since the SARS epidemic during 2003 that patients could only be saved with the use of steroids and antibiotics.
They used hydrocortisone very effectively at that time for the Corona SARS virus.
The steroids prevent the immune reaction storm which overwhelms the patients' lungs. In fact, treatment with hydrocortisone and antibiotics should have been done at the outset during March 2020, instead of pilling up the number of deaths. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS MISCALCULATION BY THE MEDICAL ELITE.
"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."

The Presence of Physical Symptoms in Patients With Tinnitus: International Web-Based Survey.
Interact J Med Res. 2019;8(3):e14519.
Published 2019 Jul 30. doi:10.2196/14519 "Objective: The aim of this study was twofold:
(1) to investigate the presence of physical symptoms in a large group of participants with tinnitus and
(2) to investigate if these physical symptoms are more frequently present in a subgroup of participants with SomatosensoryTinnitus (ST)................ Method: In total, 6115 participants with a mean age of 54.08 years SD 13.8 completed the survey. Physical symptoms were frequently present in our sample of participants with tinnitus: 4221 participants (69.02%) reported some form of neck pain, 429 (7.01%) were diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders, 2730 (44.64%) indicated they have bruxism, and
between 858 and 1419 (14.03%-23.20%) participants were able to modulate their tinnitus by voluntary movements........... Conclusions: Physical activity and movement (disorders) frequently affect tinnitus severity. Head-neck related symptoms are more frequently reported in the ST group, as is the ability to modulate the tinnitus by head or jaw movements. Additionally, participants with ST more often report fluctuations of their tinnitus and reaction to sleeping difficulties and low-intensity exercise."
Pleasee read the full article>> Comment: This is an interesting study which correlates with my hypothesis on the common link between many illness symptoms across the board.
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 jaw asymmetry. 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' type symptoms causation, however, is not the subject of this article.
The reduced oxygenation and reduced blood flow probably lead to hypo-perfusion of the cerebellum and higher brain centres on the affected side temporarily causing the incapacity to move, which 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 an amazing recovery in the first two patients I have seen 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 its 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.
Conducting some scientific research I was very interested to find that the link between Sleep apnoea and Atrial Fibrillation is actually well established.
Only proper treatment with a dental appliance to prevent the apnoec episodes is lacking!
It was also interesting to note is the study below, the increase in blood pressure in apnoeic patients.
It is, more than likely that one needs to restore the breathing function to control sleep apnoea, Atrial fibrillation and high Blood pressure.

"Obstructive and central sleep apnea have been associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events and mortality......... Sleep apnea increases the risk of arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia/infarction, stroke, and heart failure, all of which may increase mortality risk. A higher incidence of nocturnal arrhythmias, cardiac ischemia, and sudden death has been noted in subjects with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Systemic Hypertension: OSA is very closely associated with pulmonary (62) and systemic hypertension. Approximately half of the patients with systemic hypertension have co-existing OSA ........
Furthermore, treatment of OSA with continuous PAP (CPAP) oral appliances, tracheostomy, and maxillo-mandibular advancement surgery has been shown to decrease BP...........".

"What is dying?
I am standing on the sea shore.
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.
In a month it will be her first anniversary. May God bless her soul and give peace to all.
She is much missed.
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.
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.
Can EMF Make Us More Susceptible to Coronavirus Infection?
While unproven, one current theory is that electromagnetic field radiation — and the addition of 5G in particular — could be having an impact on the COVID-19 pandemic
Dr. Arthur Firstenberg’s book, “The Invisible Rainbow,” catalogues epidemiological evidence showing that as electrification of the world was implemented, throughout the course of history, viral pandemics ensued
Poor immune function and ill health combined with environmental stressors such as heightened EMF exposure might create a perfect storm where the virus has an easy way to get into the body and can reproduce faster
“The Invisible Rainbow” builds a case for the theory that increases in EMFs, natural or man-made, might make us more susceptible or sensitive to viral illnesses. If natural EMF exposures have the ability to influence our biology, man-made exposures might have an exponential impact
Many of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19 have recently implemented 5G, which might render residents more prone to serious infection by lowering their immune function. Please read more>>

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."
No research done before public is exposed to this danger
No scientific backing before implementation!
Please listen to the former president of Microsoft - Dr. Dave Jander former orthopedic surgeon:
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.
