Conventionally, the terms Cervical Spondylitis and Cervical Spondylosis (CS) are attributed to degenerative changes in the cervical spine. They are thought to be caused by natural progression with age in the intervertebral disks. The cause as per usual jargon is "unknown". Very little treatment is available through normal medical channels other than analgesics, anti-inflammatories or in some cases surgical interventions.

What is the real cause of Cervical spondylitis or spondylosis?

These are not a "natural progression with age" conditions. These are very treatable conditions especially if early intervention is carried out. These are an eventual consequence of damaging compensatory vertebral rotations and distortions caused by an imbalance towards the front of the head caused by:

• A deficiency in proper forward facial development;
• An asymmetry of the dental structure;
• An asymmetry of the TemporoMandibular Joint;
• A retrognathic upper or lower jaw or both;
• Disturbances caused by genetically missing teeth;
• Iatrogenic disturbances caused by dental extractions.
• Iatrogenic disturbances caused by extraction orthodontics.
• Iatrogenic disturbances caused by the extraction of wisdom teeth.

Cervical spondylitis and Cervical spondylosis can be further exacerbated by:

The head has to balance on the neck. If the structure of the face/jaws changes and becomes asymmetric the neck has to distort and compensate to regain head support and balance. These distortions occur by changes in the muscles which have to be continually stimulated to hold the neck vertebrae in such a way that the head can be adequately supported. The muscles get fatigued causing pain (sometimes excruciating), stiffness and difficulty in turning the neck. The permanently rotated vertebrae degenerate and show changes on radiographic images.

Experience shows that very minute changes to the jaws in the order of a couple of millimetres can cause huge effects on the neck. Treatment is geared towards attaining optimal symmetry so that the damaging effect of jaw and tooth asymmetry on the neck lessens.

If these asymmetries, which in the early stage give rise to stiffness and pain on turning the neck, are not corrected in a timely manner the neck gradually deteriorates and the damage increases over the years eventually causing intense pain, limited mobility, loss of cervical lordosis, a collapse of the proper vertebral structure and numerous neurological, musculoskeletal and organic disturbances throughout the body.

The previous injury to the neck like a whiplash injury does not heal properly in the presence of dental and jaw asymmetries which need attention before the neck can heal.

Untreated asymmetries allow the neck to continue deteriorating into Cervical Spondylosis, Cervical Spondylitis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. These conditions DO NOT HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE ORIGIN NOR A PSYCHOSOMATIC ORIGIN as claimed by some specialists and neurologists.

The ramifications of cervical asymmetries are widespread. The cervical asymmetries cause compensatory lower back rotations in the opposite direction. The lower back soon starts hurting also. Lower back rotations cause a rotation of the hip leading to sciatic nerve pain and the 'short leg phenomenon'. An electric shock-like feeling running to one or both legs may also be present in some patients.

Dr Mercola provides an insight into the merciless perversion of disease with reference to back pain:

“Not surprisingly, back pain has become a major target for drug company disease mongering. The latest example of this is the emergence of ads for ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton that includes the spine, which is actually a very rare condition.

One frequently advertised drug is Humira, sporting a price tag of about $20,000 per year. The drug is loaded with serious side effects that include tuberculosis, life-threatening infections, increased risk of lymphoma and other cancers, hepatitis B infection (if you carry the virus), allergic reactions, nervous system problems, heart failure, liver problems—and that's the shortlist!”

In other words, you will not be buying a cure for your ankylosing spondylitis but actually paying for more calamity, more disease and more suffering on top of your ankylosing spondylitis!

Throughout this website, we have emphasised that most of these problems are of a physical nature. They do not correct with drugs like analgesics, anti-inflammatories, Amitriptyline or Gabapentin and definitely not steroids because of their serious long-term adverse effects. The drugs make the problem more chronic by masking the pain. The underlying problem continues to worsen with additional symptoms surfacing as time goes on.

Early and late-stage symptoms of Cervical spondylitis or Spondylosis include:

Lehrmitte’s sign: Sometimes called the barber chair phenomenon - an electrical sensation that runs down the back and into the limbs. In many patients, it is elicited by bending the head forward or backwards. This sign is too often WRONGLY attributed to damage in the neural tissues of the brain and the spinal column. It is used as one of the cardinal signs in the diagnosis of 'Multiple Sclerosis'. We have had 3 out of 3 'MS' patients who recovered from this sensation rapidly. It cannot be due to damage in the dorsal columns of descending pathways from the brain as falsely claimed by the promulgators of the mythical 'Multiple Sclerosis'.

How is Cervical spondylitis or spondylosis diagnosed?

You have to complete an extensive questionnaire about your symptoms and your medical and dental history. This will be followed by an appointment for a physical examination of the teeth, jaws, your Atlas vertebrae, hip levels and leg length discrepancies with a focus on the neck, back, breathing and painful spots.
As a word of cautionary advice, it is important to have excluded other causes by your GP through the use of X-rays, computerised tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine.

Please note that not all patients who have various asymmetries go onto develop the severe consequences of Cervical Spondylosis.

What are the treatments for Cervical spondylitis or spondylosis?

It is extremely important that one gets treatment long before serious damage to the neck spine takes place. If we are able to positively diagnose you with a jaw asymmetry problem and an asymmetry of your Atlas vertebrae as the cause of your cervical problems a treatment plan is made and discussed with you. Most patients notice an immediate improvement of their symptoms on starting the treatment. Where the problem has been of long-standing recovery may take longer. Very rarely advanced cases may need surgical attention essentially to relieve symptoms.

Please note that some patients may have advanced problems like Chiari malformation or Cranio-cervical instability. These need advanced surgical interventions and only very little benefit will be gained through orthodontic interventions.

Please note that we are increasingly finding that in almost 90% of cases of Atlas asymmetry, the rotation is a consequence of Jaw asymmetry correcting which, corrects the Atlas. Pummelling the Atlas into submission with pulsating tools in the absence of jaw correction can cause serious adverse reactions.

As often perceived, poor posture does not cause Cervical spondylitis or spondylosis. Posture is a reflection of the jaw and skeletal asymmetries. One cannot artificially get a good posture. Correcting jaw and body asymmetries corrects the posture. These corrections prevent the manifestation of cervical pain symptoms.

• We do not use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines or narcotic concoctions to relieve pain and inflammation. The use of these in the absence of proper corrective measures causes the damage to continue unabated with serious adverse outcomes in later life.
• We do not use chiropractic manipulation because the cause is in the Jaws. The neck only compensates for what is wrong in the front of the head. Repeated high-velocity adjustments are NOT advocated and can seriously damage the neck.
• We do not advocate the wearing of a cervical collar to limit movement and provide support as its use worsens the symptoms because of a lack of use of the neck muscles.
• We do not inject steroids as they damage the vertebral joints making the problem much worse.
• We do not inject a local anaesthetic into the neck spine as it is of little use other than for momentary or short-lived relief.

There are about 800,000 patients who have been labelled as suffering from 'Fibromyalgia' in the UK. No viable treatment other than analgesics and antidepressants are available and the patients are condemned to a lifetime of suffering.

In the medical literature, 'Fibromyalgia' is described as a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body. Treatment is available to ease some of its symptoms, although they are unlikely to disappear completely. The 'experts' go onto suggest that the exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it's thought to be related to abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the brain and changes in the way the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) processes pain messages carried around the body. They also suggest that some people are more likely to develop fibromyalgia because of genes inherited from their parents and in others the condition appears to be triggered by a physical or emotionally stressful event!"

The previous paragraph reads like a concoction of the absurd and the most ridiculous nonsense written by people who admit that they know nothing about these set of symptoms. They, however, are the 'specialist consultants' in command and probably hijack the patients into this 'mysterious' medical problem.

There is no science behind it other than a figment of the imagination and a ruse to entrap people into a non-existent 'medical' illness and a lifetime of misery which generates a great deal of money for the medics in terms of all the consultations, tests and scans they put the patients through repeatedly and eventually put the patients on nothing more then antipsychotics and ruining their lives and bankrupting the healthcare system.

This is spelt out by the NHS Choices website:
"You may need to take several different types of medicines for fibromyalgia, including painkillers and antidepressants" - not a semblance of a cure. Just keep shooting up drugs and add some more adverse effects from the useless drugs which need even more drugs to take care of the adverse effects precipitating even more illness.

Patients sentenced to 'the incurable Fibromyalgia Syndrome' can take a sigh of relief as having successfully treated a number of such patients there appears to be no such 'medical' illness.

Patients with 'Fibromyalgia' are often affected by many symptoms which are very similar to the symptoms patients get when they have an asymmetry of their teeth and jaws. They also have other skeletal asymmetries which contribute to their symptoms. These asymmetries can cause some 40 plus symptoms and are very treatable without the use of any chemical drugs.

Our experience with such patients show definitive symptoms attributable to jaw and body asymmetries and not 'Fibromyalgia'.

Here is a list:
● Facial and jaw pain or tenderness in muscles around the head especially at the back of the head at the occipital base and the mastoid attachment of the Sterno Mastoid muscle;
● Limited jaw movement; clicking, snapping, or popping sounds while opening or closing the mouth;
● Pain within facial or jaw muscles;
● pain in or around the ears;
● Dizziness, tinnitus, blocked ears, recurrent infections;
● Neck pain, stiffness difficulty turning the neck;
● Difficulty breathing. The depth of each breath is poor;
● Sleep disturbances. Most patients complain of unusually light, unrefreshing sleep. Difficulties falling asleep, awakening repeatedly during the night, and feeling exhausted upon awakening;
● Symptoms of IBS including bloating, constipation and diarrhoea;
● Arthritic problems and rheumatic pains;
● Bladder and gynaecological problems;
● An asymmetry of the Atlas vertebrae which leads to many problems as this distortion affects the Vagus nerve and the Sympathetic chain;
● Raynaud's disease or syndrome causing very cold hands and feet;
● Upper and Lower back pain;
● Unlevel hips causing hip pain and sciatic nerve pain;
● Depression and anxiety;
● Brain fog ("Fibro fog") and double vision;
● Disturbances in fine motor control of muscles;
● Extreme fatigue.

These are a brief list of symptoms. Some patients exhibit 40 plus symptoms. There is no mystery to 'Fibromyalgia'. All the symptoms can be fully explained both, anatomically and neurologically in terms of physical body asymmetries.

Our body heals extremely fast when the correct treatment is provided. If you are following any therapy which does not bring about rapid relief it is a total waste of time and money. The symptoms of 'Fibromyalgia' soon start resolving on starting the CORRECT treatment.

Testimonial from a recovering 'Fibromyalgia' patient

"About 19 years ago I began to feel very off. I was eleven and I was shattered. I didn't look how an eleven-year-old ought to look. I also didn't understand why I felt that way. I just knew I was in the most incredible amount of pain something wasn't right. It was not until I turned fifteen that the problems escalated into severe vertigo and fatigue but because everyone was so concentrated on the weight around my middle (I weighed 60kg and measured 178cm at this time but the weight on my stomach was a major concern.)

Aged 18 the fatigue became so debilitating I'd fall asleep in lectures and the weight around my middle and around my neck swelled. When I first saw Dr Amir - it was he who connected the reasons for the beginning of my nightmare life. I had 4 premolar teeth pulled out when I was 10 and then I had my wisdom teeth pulled out when I was 17. Within a year of those teeth being pulled, aged 11 and 17 respectively, my pain increased, my fatigue was debilitating and I felt chronically dizzy. Every single doctor on the NHS tried to put me on antidepressants despite my resistance. This is when I decided to go private. Every single private doctor made out I had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or a thyroid problem or it was all in my head and antidepressants would help. Holistic doctors tried putting me on dozens of supplements. Nothing worked.

From the age of 11 I was breathless but doctors said I wasn't asthmatic, my family would continuously point it out and they continuously made out I was at fault. Though they cared for me and worked hard to be able to pay for some very expensive doctors who said they could cure fatigue and get rid of my weight around my stomach - when nothing worked I felt at fault.

I collapsed with embolisms in my lungs when I was 27 years old, at this point I was 95kg - the weight had increased despite my never eating because I was afraid of food, my fatigue and my vertigo had worsened and my pain was at a 10 threshold. I was visiting chiropractors, osteopaths, cranial therapists, Bowen technique, acupuncturists, massage practitioners, and still nothing eased off the pain long enough for me to enjoy days of pain-free. The hospital where I was treated in London on the NHS was the first who I felt believed me and finally, I was given labels: chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and was treated through CBT and the doctor insisted I try amitriptyline. Through all my research on fibromyalgia, this is what is used to treat it.

I felt so unwell on it, I felt sluggish, moody and so down in the mornings there would have been NO WAY I could have led a life of friendships, able to go to work and have a sense of achievement. I stopped taking them but over the 3 years I was treated there I was made to feel at fault for not taking them. Because I refused the medication I was, therefore, choosing to stay unwell. Talking with others they have all experienced the same sort of treatment. If they refuse their medication for fibromyalgia then they're told they're choosing to stay in pain.

Since seeing Dr Amir - and it has ONLY been 7 weeks since he began treating me - not even 2 months, I can now breathe. The breathlessness has gone. I can climb hills. I am also waking up earlier. Before I couldn't get out of bed before 11 am because of vertigo, the pain, and feelings of fatigue. Now I'm up by 9-10 am. I also am able to make myself breakfast. Something I could never do before. I still have pain, but the "fibromyalgia" pain is no longer as excruciating as it was. The pain has gone from sharp pain to dull aches that come and go. I also now have "bedtime" feelings. Whereas before I'd be tired throughout the day now when I wake up I'm awake and in the evenings around 10-11 pm I feel very tired so I need to sleep. I used to have terrible bladder problems which were so embarrassing, I'd need to go to the loo at least 8 times before bed, - I was told it was anxiety and all in my head - well since I've been having treatment from Dr Amir I have stopped and can now go to bed after going to the toilet ONCE before bed.

My parents and friends have noticed how happier my voice sounds, less zombie-ish, less fatigued and just generally more "me". My parents say they haven't heard me sound like this since I was 9 years old. I am now 30.

If anything, if a doctor is making you go on amitriptyline and it's making you feel worse. Don't pursue like they keep telling you to - it's stupid. It's just big drug companies trying to put you on useless drugs which also mask your symptoms. Instead, I'd recommend looking at your body alignment like Dr Amir says. There is always another way. And for me, it was Dr Amir."

All dentists throughout the world must read this article as well as patients 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 expert advice in life and death matters This is of great concern for my recovering patients. 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 cause great harm to 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 whistle-blowing exposing their impotent governance of the profession, and especially as far as extraction orthodontics is concerned which serious illness and causes 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 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 who have absolutely no chance of healing any of the symptoms. The patients have physical problems needing physical attention not drugs.

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? The present controllers at the GDC need to be replaced by innovators aware of the tremendous ability of our dentists to deliver true health at costs that are a millionth of the present forms of medical treatment..

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 organization and replace it with a forward-thinking entity made up of forward-looking dentists with the highest practical personal experiences - not pen pushers.

The illnesses listed below are usually 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. This is a public record.

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 wast armies of staff and law firms and multiplying molehill issues into problems bigger than Mount Everest 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 perpetuate illness. The public is not protected. The sick deserve to be healed not exploited and wilfully maimed to line the pockets of lawyers and other snake oil peddlers.

Dentists are on 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 which were 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 which could alleviate the pain and suffering of thousands of seriously ill patients.

Fallacious and deceitful illness labels are created such as "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 present in multiple other places on this Website.

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 syndromes!

I get many desperate inquiries like this daily. These are typical consequences of extraction orthodontics. 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 many 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 merciless illness creation to amass profits is more important than finding a cure.

Infertility testimonial
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."

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"

Another patient just wrote:
"Over time I started to get other symptoms such as back pain, pain around my eyes, numbness in different parts of my body, neck pain, and a lot more. I also felt like I was losing strength on my left side. Again, I saw many different doctors/neurologists and even went to a chiropractor. I tried everything. The doctors did many tests on me but they all came back normal. I was then told if I kept returning with these symptoms they would more than likely diagnose me with MS. I was a bit shocked that they would diagnose me with this with all the tests coming back normal.

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 90 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 Lancet said this in 2015:

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half may simply be untrue”

Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of NEJM wrote in 2009 that,

“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

The existing EBM's stark reality is zero outcomes in multiple hospital departments and GP surgeries! The GDC and the hearing committee found me guilty of not subscribing and abiding with this scam.

Please bring these articles to the attention of all the patients who are chronically ill all over the world suffering from a wide variety of symptoms as per many articles on this website so they can go to the right person to get relief. Please also bring these articles to your dentists' attention so that the dentists can realise their true potential and bring about true healing in this world.

"Let me reject all the received opinions and know only what I can with the power of my own mind. Let me try to construct assiduously from the base up the scaffolding of my thought on the subject”. A subject too vast, too controversial, too confrontational and too challenging.
Presenting a new concept of care - a new discipline of Cranio Dental and Skeletal Symmetry™ (CDSS)

I have been researching the subject of Cranio Dental and Skeletal Symmetry™ (CDSS) ever since I first managed to help a patient suffering from severe migraines, which had hospitalised her for the previous 6 months - some 35 years ago. I was able to use my fresh university education to align her amalgam restorations so that she could bite more correctly. She previously had all her molar teeth - all 20 of them filled under general anaesthesia which unfortunately had disrupted her bite. Her migraines resolved over one weekend. She never got the migraines again, and went on to have a family and excelled at work to become a senior banker in the city of London.

Just before visiting me for routine dentistry the hospital services after six months of inpatient investigations had finally decided that her problem was actually of "psychiatric origin"! She got to me before her psychiatric evaluation.

I never even thought about it anymore. I concentrated on getting around making my crowns fit perfectly and doing my restorative work to great precision. I had to learn laboratory work and did my own crowns for most of my working life from my own lab sitting late into the night for many years. The results are in the mouths of hundreds of patients and have lasted them more than 30 years. I also trained under a consultant orthodontist who used to spend all day Saturdays with me for very many years working on hundreds of patients where I honed my orthodontic skills.

The new revelations came along when I was sitting in my office and some patient forgot a book on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Myelgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) in my office. I started reading the book and read a list of 44 symptoms which such patients suffer. I suddenly remembered a patient I had been treating for jaw and orthodontic problems over the previous two years who had such symptoms. I called her up and went through the list. She confirmed that she had actually come to me with about 42 of the listed symptoms. She had almost completely recovered from them after a lifelong illness.

At that moment, it dawned on me that CFS/ME were probably dental problems and patients had perhaps been misdiagnosed into these elusive syndromes.

To make a long story short, I started looking into it and luckily an osteopath who was also receiving treatment from me on hearing this story suddenly referred 20 such patients to me. These patients were suffering from multiple symptoms but had not been classed into any syndromes. I was cornered into treating them. Lucky for them, applying some simple knowledge of basic Cranio-dental symmetry I was able to help most of them recover from a multitude of symptoms.

Thus started my new career.

Over the years I polished my techniques and learned from experiences gained from treating many very ill patients. I have come to realise that there are some serious and fundamental problems with many accepted principals in medicine and dentistry which are not only causing illness but also causing patients to remain ill often for the rest of their lives. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FM) are typical examples along with very many others as mentioned throughout this website.

While at college we were taught to drill and fill and restore the patient to what is known as the "Centric Occlusion" which generally means, the lower jaw pushed back and the teeth occluded. Some practitioners also refer to it as the occlusion having maximal intercuspation and they try and restore patients teeth to this relationship even if this means grinding away or building up a number of their teeth as long as both arches meet in what is known as a Class I occlusion.

Yet many patients in this Class I occlusion are extremely unwell with TMJ dysfunction and present with grinding their teeth or clenched and painful jaws. Why is that?

The answer is that the lower jaw is not happy where it finds itself and keeps looking for a more forward and symmetric posture thus ending up grinding and clenching the teeth.

Their bruxism is far too often assigned to "psychosomatic factors" or "para functions" and their bodily pains and serious organic symptoms to "medical problems". Often no treatment is offered and where it is offered it consists of:

• You should eat soft food;
• You should reduce stress in your life;
• Do jaw exercises;
• Undertake physiotherapy;
• Take pain killers;
• Take muscle relaxants;
• Take antipsychotics.

And worst of all:

• a bite guard with its inherent serious side effects with patient symptoms ALWAYS worsening as time goes on is prescribed.

The fundamentals of this classification are described as:

• Both arches apparently meeting correctly (maximal intercuspation). This is called Normal - Class I;
• The upper arch too far forward relative to the lower jaw - Class II;
• The lower arch too far forward relative to the upper jaw - Class III

Superimposed on these principals is, the belief that the European face is more evolved with his retrognathic jaws but the dentoalveolar ratio has not kept up with this "highly evolved species". This implies that modern societies have too many teeth and not enough bone to accommodate the teeth justifying the extraction of teeth to balance out this disproportion.

This thinking together with Dr Angle's classification gave rise to the concept of "Dento-alveolar disproportion". So the aim has been to reduce the number of teeth to attain a class I occlusion in maximal intercuspation no matter where it sits under the cranium.

This erroneous understanding has lead to absolutely horrendous decisions which have, according to my experience, produced devastating consequences upon millions of people right around the world. The acceptance of this thinking and making it mainstream teaching in dental schools has created a great deal of chronic sickness in society.

Angle described his principals in 1890 - some 130 years ago. Whilst not taking away anything from Angle and continuing to respect his position in the history of dentistry and orthodontics, it is imperative that we make drastic changes and upgrade our understanding of occlusion and its ramifications throughout our body.

Current (and soon to be obsolete) orthodontic practice takes the jaws backwards while they should be developing forwards. Children are further given retainers to hold the jaws in this position preventing further forward growth. Thousands end up with chronic illnesses because of the gross interference with the overall balance of the head upon the neck.

Angles classification which is restricted to the teeth only, and treatment based on trying to bring everyone into a class I relationship is deeply flawed, as it does not take account of:

• the environmental and developmental damage, which brings about these malocclusions in the first place;
• It does not look into the potential for developing or advancing the retrognathic jaw or both jaws;
• It does not look into the anteroposterior and lateral planes of the occlusion;
• It does not look into the relative Coronal and Sagittal planes of the dental complex;
• It does not look into where in space the dental complex is placed relative to the skull;
• It does not look into the pharyngeal space, which may be compromised by retrognathic jaws;
• It does not look at the swallowing patterns of patients which often result in the upper jaw being too narrow and retrognathic also, causing permanent breathing and sinus problems further damaging the potential for proper jaw development;
• It excludes an examination of the muscles around the head, which may be very tender and stiff because of the asymmetry of the jaws;
• It does not look at the impact on the neck vertebrae especially the Atlas vertebra which is always mal-rotated;
• It does not look at the lower back or the hips of the patient which, are always out of level in the presence of even the slightest malocclusion of the order of just 2 millimetres.
• It does not look at the feet for collapsed foot arches.

This extensive list may be too far fetched for an orthodontist to accept but the implications of fiddling with the dental complex have widespread ramifications involving the whole of the skeleton and it is imperative that the starting point be properly and fully assessed.

The diagnosis and treatment based on just the original Angles' classification which underpins orthodontics has lead to a great deal of chronic sickness in society with hundreds of thousands suffering the ill effects in every country where such treatment is carried out.

The stark reality of the abysmal orthodontic specialist training is apparent in this comment I received today through one of my patients who visited another orthodontist for a second opinion:

"I'm not sure who you saw in London but as there is no scientific evidence behind what you have been told. This will mean that you are very likely to undergo a very long uncomfortable and expensive process that will not work. I would not want that for you and therefore would not want to be involved in any such treatment. There is no evidence that extractions can cause ill effects and no evidence that orthodontics has any effect on the TMJ. There is also no evidence of any link with ME......"

The orthodontists need to be woken up from their slumber.

It appears that complete spatial symmetry of the dental complex, relative to the skull, is of the utmost importance. Symmetry implies left-right mirror image equality, correct proportions anteroposteriorly, and vertically. Correct inter arch occlusion of both arches. It is actually a 3-dimensional craniomandibular harmony and balance, versus just the one-dimensional implication of the word symmetry.

Minute departures from symmetry can lead to illness. An analogy I often use is that our bodies are as finely tuned as a finely made Swiss clock. If anything goes even slightly wrong with the mechanism, it will not give the correct time. Our body is exactly the same. Minute departures lead to symptoms.

In this image, I have shown the basic disturbance in our cranium in terms of rotating cogs. When the lower jaw is pushed back, it causes the temporal bone to rotate forwards while the occipital bone lifts upwards causing all kinds of head and neck problems e.g. migraines, neck pain, suboccipital muscle pain, and shoulder pain. These are dental problems and can only be corrected through dental interventions, not medical pills.

When the cerebellum lifts up on one side, a little-known fact but easily demonstrable, it disturbs the symmetry of the cerebellum and the blood flow through the vertebral artery because the Atlas vertebra also rotates forwards on the affected side. This can cause all kinds of movement disorders and may also affect the eyes. Please read my article on Visual snow.

The hypoglossal nerve which innervates the tongue also emanates from the occipital bone close to the occipital condyles. Any asymmetry here can also potentially affect speech and swallowing. Some medical syndromes chiefly cerebellar ataxia, have these groups of symptoms occurring together namely, gait disorder, eye problems, speech, and swallowing issues. No pill can ever fix that so patients get pigeonholed into syndromes or medical conundrums.

Dr Siegfried Trefzer writes: "In my understanding Ataxia itself is a term used for a group of disorders that affects coordination, postural balance, speech, most voluntary movements such as gripping and the selective engagement of muscle groups but also automated movements e.g. the ability to swallow, to walk etc. At some stage, my patient was simultaneously affected by all of these dysfunctions to a various degree."

Any asymmetry of the Atlas makes the occiput asymmetric and hence the blood flow through the vertebral artery which traverses the Atlas to the cerebellum diminishes causing numerous symptoms like a loss of fine motor control, tremors and gait dysfunction. This worsens over time as the patient gets older and the arteries also start furring up. Studies with Doppler ultrasound have established this blood perfusion discrepancy but the neurologists have failed to establish the Atlas-Occipital link affecting cerebellar function.

In this article please read the section under “Vertebral artery anatomical considerations”:
They have observed the discrepancy naming it “VBI: Vertebro Basilar Insufficiency”.

Atlas asymmetry also seriously affects cranial drainage via the Internal Jugular Veins (IJV). Please read an extensive article under Obstruction of the Internal Jugular veins & Atlas Asymmetry on this website.

It is my contention that this is what starts a chain reaction resulting in various deficits in cerebellar function one of which is gait dysfunction or cerebellar ataxia and tremors (some very violent), especially in ‘MS’ patients. These tremors stop instantly on the correct positioning of the jaws while the patients have been told that they have suffered permanent neurological damage through the "demyelination process".

This must be the quintessential explanation as attending to the asymmetry soon relieves the symptoms in those where the problem is of short standing. In others, it improves the gait while yet in others it stops further deterioration.

This is an excerpt from my 2009 article on Atlas asymmetry:

"The cranium becomes unlevel leading to an asymmetry of the eyes and the back of the head called the occiput which physically alters the shape of the cerebellum leading to problems with fine motor control of the skeletal muscles and also causing problems like dyslexia. According to some scientific research, Dyslexia appears to be centred in the cerebellum

Apart from the Hypoglossal nerve a number of other important nerves also get affected:
1. The Vagus and the Cervical Sympathetic chain: The effects of asymmetry here can affect the function of many organs in the body, leading to digestive and blood pressure problems.

2. The Phrenic nerve: This nerve supplies the diaphragm. Disturbances here can lead to a reduced breathing capacity. After Atlas correction, we have seen an immediate improvement in the patient's breathing capacity in a majority of cases which is an absolutely phenomenal finding.

Our governing bodies might not like it, but the dentist is responsible for the welfare of his patients. If a dentist or a colleagues' treatment of the dental complex has brought about the illness like neck pain the dentist can neither pass it to the medics nor to a chiropractor, who both do not have any chance of fixing such a problem.

As a matter of record, repeated high-velocity adjustments are extremely detrimental to the neck. Only palliative massage of the neck muscles is an acceptable symptomatic alternative treatment.

Experience shows that the primary cause is in the mouth and the secondary lesion is in the neck. The primary needs treatment. The secondary takes care of itself.

A patient reporting that she has completely recovered from her terrible neck pains also adds:
"I have met such a wide range of patients with such a variety of problems in the waiting room, and it is extraordinary that a simple adjustment of the position of the jaw can have such a dramatic effect on the function of the whole body. I am a witness to the efficacy of your programme and have recommended you countless times to friends and acquaintances with chronic problems."

A slight deviation from perfect symmetry affects our bodies like a badly balanced car tire which eventually shows wear on one edge needing replacement - synonymous to one needing a hip replacement at age 70! This concept of absolute symmetry is hard to fathom when one sees so many variations between individuals.

The graphs below are a true record of a patient who was previously described as possibly suffering from ME or CFS or FM or MS by various medical consultants. The body starts recovering very rapidly with symmetry-based interventions. Tens of thousands had previously been spent on medical care with absolutely no resolution and the patient had gotten rapidly bed bound.




She was an Angles' Class II and two of her upper premolar teeth had previously been extracted to drag her upper teeth and jaw back to meet a smaller lower jaw! This created a serious imbalance of the head on the neck, which started reacting causing pain and numerous spiralling symptoms throughout the body. The patient recovered completely and went on to get a first-class maths degree at University. She was bedridden for almost a year before coming for treatment. Again, I must emphasise that these patients can only be helped through dentistry.

Some patients present with some 40 symptoms. Clusters of such symptoms are selected to invent different illnesses e.g. Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Multiple Sclerosis. There is no merit in this system as no healing is available.

In terms of examining such patients a visit to the Chiropractor or an osteopath will nearly always show that one leg is clinically shorter than the other. The patients also have numerous pains around their head and neck muscles especially when the suboccipital muscles and the mastoid insertion of the Sterno-mastoid muscles are palpated. Internally the Lateral Pterygoid muscle in the mouth is extremely painful.

Careful! You are a dentist. You cannot involve yourself in such matters. We shall expel you and erase your name from the register, says the governing body! You are at high risk of being struck off! When all you are doing is fulfilling the requirements of the 'Hippocratic Oath' that you swore to.

Here is the dilemma. Either the governing body decides to start working totally altruistically and without compunction and allows dentists to do what they must for patient care or continue to let lose the patients upon the medical profession who will probably inject steroids and prescribe medications for symptomatic relief for the rest of the lives of the patients.

The existing oversight of medicine and dentistry is actually preventing proper patient care and perpetuating disease and bankruptcy upon the whole of society.

The remit of the triad of the medical council, dental council, and the medical defence establishments needs considerable revision through urgent government intervention if it really wants to care for the public and prevent wholesale looting under cover of the NHS.

The other challenges facing someone like me are the hospital consultants who almost never find anything wrong with a patients jaws no matter how much pain or dysfunction the patient presents with and patients are misled into going back to their medical practitioners. I have many such reports. Here are the experiences of some recent patients:

Dear Dr Amir,
I am a very fed up person. I have been sent round & round the mulberry bush for 20 years following an extraction. In the last year, however, the pain has gotten really bad and I have pain all along the right side of my body at every joint. I went to a private Harley St dr who and for the first time experienced being treated like I was a human! Below is my OPG. He thinks it looks like my jaw is very much dislocated and he had never seen anything like it. I have been telling GPs dentists, max fax people for years I am having difficulty speaking, eating & it feels as if my face is moving to the left. Nobody listened till now. However, I had to then be referred back to the NHS as the specialist treatment was too expensive. They again fobbed me off etc etc.

Just received this from Belgium:
Sent: Saturday, February 2, 2019 15:53
Subject: Request appointment (coming from abroad)

"Dear Dr Amir,
My name is L........, I am 32 and I live in Belgium.

I am writing to you because I found your website through a community of people with TMJ dysfunctions. I have been having a lot of the symptoms listed on your website, and the things are getting worse every year. The doctors keep telling me it’s my anxiety and they do not even bother to try to find the real causes. I have had a lot of works in my mouth, ...................."

The hospital consultants occupy a unique place in society. They are believed. Even when they fob off patients almost all the time. In one breath they say nothing abnormal found and in the next breath, they tell the same patients to use palliative measures like soft diet, hot compresses, painkillers, physiotherapy, drugs, and useless splints. It is a sorry state of affairs out there.

Remember even a millimetre of asymmetry can cause serious problems, like hundreds of my patients can testify but here 8 extracted teeth, jaw clicking, limited mouth opening, the deviation on opening, intense pain in muscles all around the head and neck is accepted as normal!

Two companies come to mind. One is Myotronics in Seattle, USA and the other Biopak in Milwaukee, USA. They both supply some sophisticated equipment which can precisely tell the displacement of the jaws and the tension around all the muscles around the head and neck. I think our hospitals need to equip themselves with these pieces of equipment so that patients are not misled in error, design or negligence.

Each year, the neck will continue to deteriorate and your taxes can keep filling the bottomless NHS pit. The patients often have difficulty turning the neck and the breathing is almost always suboptimal giving rise to fatigue and numerous organic problems throughout the body.

Bringing about symmetry in the front of the mouth aligns the Atlas vertebra. The Atlas vertebra occupies a unique place in the recent history of treatments of skeletal asymmetries. AtlasPROfilax® is a Swiss technique developed by Monsignor Rene Schumperlii that uses strategic and precisely targeted mechanical vibrations and pressure to the short muscles – suboccipital muscles – of the neck. In this way, the atlas is allowed to embed correctly in the condylar facets of the occiput.

A German MRI and 3D CAT scan investigations have shown that 98 percent of a healthy, modern population sample had atlas malrotation and that the AtlasPROfilax® procedure was corrective for this condition.

In another study of 350 patients using an iliac crest, inclinometer indicated that the AtlasPROfilax procedure corrects pelvic misalignment and functional leg length discrepancy. It immediately corrects the short leg phenomenon. This would abate back pain, hip pains, sciatic nerve pains, numbness etc for a majority of the patients.

If we are talking about MS patients, you can just imagine the benefit many would experience from this one PHYSICAL correction. Claiming that the previous hip pains were the consequence of demyelination and "descending pathways damage from brain lesions" becomes very questionable. If such were the case, the patients would never experience immediate and dramatic relief.

However, correcting the Atlas does not correct the discrepancy in the mouth, which is a counterbalance for the Atlas rotation and vice versa. The Atlas soon goes out of synch again in most cases. Correcting the teeth helps correct the Atlas which it does automatically as the symmetry in the front of the mouth improves. The required change in the jaw is often much greater and needs long-term treatment while attempts to correct the Atlas alone does not hold in the presence of most dental asymmetries.

"Last week when we were there Dr Amir had some 4th stage appliances to fit. As soon as they were fitted my wife could suddenly raise her arms. She could barely lift her hands an inch before that. She was also able to lift both her legs a couple of inches. This was startling. I ran to the waiting room to get my friend to come in and see this miracle.

During that night I felt my wife pulling me towards her telling me that she is getting feeling back in her body. Her legs started moving. I was flabbergasted and phoned my son at 2.00 AM to come over and see movement in his mothers' arms and legs for the first time in 8 years!"

Moving on from the Atlas to the hips and trying to answer many questions I receive, please visualise the following:

I want you to imagine a perfectly shaped head for example that belonging to one of the great athletes like Usain Bolt or Mark Spitz (a swimming legend). If such a head was balanced on a spike it would have to sit on a certain place on the spike to balance. If we now go and extract just one small tooth out of the patient's mouth that head is not going to balance anymore and will need to be repositioned on the spike. Patients have usually had a lot more dental extractions, congenitally missing teeth, and underdeveloped jaws all affecting the balance of the head on this imaginary spike.

In life, it is not a spike but our neck vertebrae which support the head. These vertebrae will have to compensate to balance the head. They compensate by realigning as best as they can. In other words, they rotate and distort. Since the damage to the mouth is permanent they have to remain distorted permanently often affecting the nerves that emanate from the spine. The damage to our jaws is forever present in modern societies. Dr. Weston Price did a great deal of research some 70 years ago and attributed the poor facial developments to our modern processed foods.

The body is built to gain symmetry all the time. The brain and other reflex mechanisms built into our neurology do not like the vertebral misalignment in the neck and contract various muscles to straighten the vertebrae and the head. Since the damage is permanent the messages to the muscles to contract are endless. Fatigue and pain set in. Over a long period the discs bulge, spurs grow, nerves, veins, arteries get constricted and a whole host of problems like chronic neck pain and a frozen shoulder etc. develop.

THESE ARE SIMPLER PROBLEMS. More serious problems develop if left untreated. These can include Spinal stenosis, Chiari malformations, Cranio Cervical Instability with Atlanto Axial Instability (CCI/AAI) resulting in a 'sinking head' causing brainstem compression with its very serious ramifications in terms of erratic heart rate, extreme dizziness, extreme breathing difficulty, and often complete paralysis.

Damage to the jaws is not from a single tooth extraction. It can be from a number of teeth extracted for various reasons which cause far bigger distortions of the neck. Extracting premolar teeth, conducting constrictive orthodontics, wearing retainers preventing jaw growth, extracting wisdom teeth all contribute to the creation of serious damage to the cranial balance on the neck vertebrae.

Poor development of the jaws due to dietary causes and genetically missing teeth also eventually cause serious health issues. While I am on the subject, genetically missing teeth have to be replaced with ideally implants, not the teeth dragged around to close the spaces constricting the jaws.

The neck is part of the rest of the spine. The rest of the spine cannot let its top end to rotate in one direction. The lower end distorts in the opposite direction to balance the spine. Its lower end is connected to the hips. The distortion of the lower spine causes the hips to rotate and give rise to what is called a clinical short leg. The consequence is lower back pain, hip pain, and sciatic nerve pain.

Please note that the effect of occlusal irregularities on hip inclination is present a 100% of the time and thus cannot be ignored by the dentist.

In other words, a slight distortion in the mouth caused developmentally or iatrogenically, by the dentist starts damaging the lower back and hips of the patient. Should the patient be sent to the medics, orthopaedic surgeons, chiropractors or the dentist should be responsible for the calamity visited upon the patient?

To establish the hip distortion the dentist has to check the hip level - an anathema for your dental governing body who might strike you off for treating a medical condition but this is not a medical condition. The dentist is the only one who can adequately treat the patient.

Ironically, it does not even occur to the patient or the dentist that the back pain started because of the dental interventions. The patient obviously seeks help from the medical profession and gets condemned to lifelong chronic back pain which no one can fix.

Dr. Mercola says:
"There is evidence that many standard treatments for back pain — surgery, spinal injections, and painkillers — are often ineffective and can even worsen and prolong the problem... Some research suggests that 1 in 5 patients who have surgery for back pain end up having more surgery.

An estimated 80 per cent of Americans will suffer from chronic back pain at some point in life. Some 25-30 per cent end up struggling with persistent or chronic back pain, leading many to resort to prescription painkillers, expensive steroid shots, or even multiple surgeries.

Recent data shows that back pain is increasingly being treated with addictive drugs and diagnostic exams that expose patients to potentially unnecessary and dangerous levels of radiation. These treatments do not cure back pain—they only treat your symptoms."

Ever wondered why we have so many millions chronically sick;
Why millions have a chronic backache;
Why one in five elderly patients in an orthopaedic hospital is there because of a fractured hip.
And why our NHS is a bottomless pit?
