The subject that started my questioning of medicine and drugs 12 years ago. Covid was the nail in the coffin of trust. I’m not sure my functional medicine doc is correct on much now as well. I’ve dropped mucho money there. Backing off as I’m learning to treat myself. I’ve always thought dentists were highly paid butchers.

Yeah. I always thought of dentists as people who couldn’t get into medical school.

I was married to one! But it got me thinking - particularly about orthodontics. I was appalled by the pain caused by regular tightening of the screws. I heard of 2 Dutch dentists working out of Anthroposophical medicine. I relayed my concerns. The one confirmed my worries. Orthodontics,he said, was a rape of the mouth... He only used therapeutic Eurythmy exercises to subtly realign the mouth.

Since then I've also become intrigued by the recommendations and insights of Mike Mew.

Even proper breathing techniques can change your jaw structure for better. Our diets and ultra processed food have changed structure. I’ve looked at Mew. Weston a price traveled the world, and the peoples with the most natural diet and lifestyle had strong teeth and proper facial and jaw proportions. I have had maybe one dentist I could trust. I had one decades ago that pinched my lip as he was pulling a tooth. I was trying to let him know to no avail. Another left the whole side of my face black and blue. I was young so that instilled some fear in me.
