your bite

[Guest guest]

Hi, Doc Jerry.

 

Since all cases of TMJ are at least aggravated by " bracing " (chronic muscle

tension from accumulation of fight or flight in the hypothalamus) it is no

wonder that hypoglycemia is commonly a part of this syndrome. The blood

glucose buffering of muscle glycogen is no longer present , it having been

exhausted by the continuous body bracing. As you know, the only other

buffering system is liver glycogen which, if the problem has been going on

long enough, is also exhausted.

 

Keep up the good work.

 

Doc Walt

[s-A] your bite

 

 

> GRINDING AND CLENCHING are part of the TMJ Dysfunction Syndrome.

> When the upper and lower teeth don't fit together properly on closing or

chewing, one is inclined to grind to eliminate the interfering high spots -

or to shift the jaws to find a comfortable place to come together. This is

done without our being aware of it. The result can be spasm and pain.

> There is a complicating factor. In nearly every TMJ case I have seen,

hypoglycemia is involved. Lowered resistive capacity to stress and the

increased tendency to gnash the teeth are part of the hypoglycemic syndrome.

Few people have a perfect bite. But the hypoglycemic finds trigger points on

the teeth more readily -- and the trouble begins.

> Almost every TMJ case we've seen has needed nutritional analysis and

counseling. Disease is a balance between the cause, here a compromised

bite, and the individual's resistance. Treatment and prevention should

always include raising your resistive capacities.
