Is it Mental or is it Dental?

In other news, I found this article by Raymond Silkman, DDS on the upper palate issues I've been writing about in other blog posts. Here

Have a look at the below quotes on upper palate expansion:

"When the bones in the head are underdeveloped or misaligned, the soft tissues are over-crowded and unable to assume their normal shapes and positions...the nervous system also suffers."
"...mouth breathers tend to have amped-up sympathetic nervous systems, always on alert, and they have a hard time getting their physical or mental bodies to relax."
"....people with poor facial development are not going to live very happily."
"many times when we do the procedures that widen the palate, correct the head tilt and allow a person to breath through the nose, that person suddenly becomes happy. It is amazing to see the things that happen when we take steps to expand the palate and the upper jaw."
"A lot of amazing things can come about just from changing the shape of the maxilla for a human being."

This all seems to point towards exactly the connection between poor nutritional status, mouth breathing, low metabolism and hyperventilation that I've been suspecting, and experiencing first hand for so long. I have all those symptoms and also suffer from Dyslexia, PTDS, Anxiety attacks, General Anxiety Disorder, Depression, and OCD. (Yes, I know, I often wonder too how I get through a day? lol)

I'm planning on getting my own upper palate widened, since it's not surprisingly extremely narrow (as seen in the image below of my current retainer that I use to help the jaws not tense up too much during the night). It's very expensive to get the Homeoblock though, so it will take me some time to get there. But I am hoping it will help me in many ways, especially in improving my CP, and of course in lowering my inner stress levels so that my body has a better chance to heal my body.

I totally feel like a detective of my own health, trying to figure out what went wrong, and how to fix it? If I can figure out myself, then I'd be filled to the brim with useable wisdom. So far, not too much luck....lol....I'll keep this blog posted for sure though....






Weston A Price called it "intercepted heredity", where the genetic hereditary development is somehow halted or intercepted by too faulty, too refined foods at just the wrong time during and right before conception. So, essentially the true expression of the genes could not develop due to too poor nutrition. In other words, it's not a genetic problem to have crooked teeth, it's a fundamentally nutritional one on the part of both parents before conception.
