"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.

A mother writes:
"Ethan’s story

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you once again, Dr Amir.

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

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

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

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.

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

Mouthwash use could inhibit benefits of exercise

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PS Article slightly abbreviated and grammar improved.

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

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

She says:

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

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

Another new patient writes:

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

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

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

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

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

Another patient writes:

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

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

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

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

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

5.4 million people in the UK have asthma. This means that 1 in every 11 people has asthma.
Every 10 seconds someone has a life threatening asthma attack.

An estimated 300 million people live with asthma worldwide. It accounts for an estimated one in 250 deaths. Presently, corticosteroids are the mainstay of asthma treatment.

However, an understanding of the disease triggers has been slow and confusing with many contradictory findings. The final state of affairs in a popular medical website says:
"There is currently no cure for asthma, and no single exact cause has been identified."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Make that first appointment, see for yourself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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