I have an appointment on Dec. 5 for sleep apnea that will probably lead me to a CPAP machine. I think I'm going to cancel it after reading this article.

Thanks

Great! Give a rubber mouthguard a couple of months.. it will start to stretch things out and move things around... and your sleep will improve.

Thank you! I was just diagnosed to sleep apnea and I was shocked. However, I also discovered that 70% of menopausal women have sleep apnea, and around 60% of menopausal women have an under active thyroid. Under active thyroid and hypothyroid have high incidence of sleep apnea… Oh goodness, who knew! That was sarcasm. It’s amazing how much our doctors don’t even put the dots together… The number one reason why a thyroid is underactive is because of a lack of iodine!

interesting... if 70% of menopausal women have sleep apnea..

i would not be surprised if this collapse process i talk about helps trigger menopause early

I use the SleepRX mouth guard. It works about 75% of time, replaces snoring with puffing - loud puffing, causes saliva buildup then choking for sleep interruption, a bit uncomfortable. This guard is hard plastic, not rubber. I may try the other

this is a fucking insane take—how is surgery—like MMA a bandaid if it’s permanently moving jaws, chin forward and rotating them thus opening up your airway?

MMA is the gold standard fix for sleep apnea

Any actual evidence to back this up? A randomized controlled trial would be nice. Also how would a mouth guard prevent the tongue from falling back during sleep and obstructing the airway?

Until I read this and the balloon theory, I never knew or even thought that your skull inflated or deflated or had moving parts. I have a question. About 2 years ago I had to get upper dentures, because the one anchor tooth for my partial broke off at the gum line and I was extremely hesitant to get my last 4 upper teeth pulled and replaced by a whole set of nice white dentures. They gave me all kinds of reasons why they couldn't fix the tooth that broke.

I have had more problems since this. My gums receding , digestive disorders, my neck is crunching all the time, my memory is worse. Granted, I'm almost 72 and cannot believe I have to bend over and take it up the ass, basically that this is a common age related disorder and I have to live like this. Is this a common occurance with this kind of dental work?

What you are describing that is happening to you is exactly what happens when your skull 'deflates'.

I'd have to see what the dentures look like in your mouth but if it locks into a fixed position than that is a bad thing. And i wouldnt be surprised if it assumed a different line of occlusion than your original teeth.

Meaning they probably designed the denture with a flatter curve of spee. Because they don't understand the importance of it

On a side note... any 72 year old that talks about "bending over and taking it up the ass is very cool in my book!" :)

Thank you, I am not a typical 72 year old, I look in my 50's according to the younger males I've met. I would get more graphic like without the Vaseline. I constantly feel like these damn robo calls are trying to scam us "elderly" sorry I'm not the one, feel me?

I don't know what the spee is, they don't lock into a fixed anything. I have to glue them in daily which to me is a problem. Intuitively I did not want implants because of the putting in of fake shit or posts implanted in my skull or jaw. As a result, I can't chew meat, I can't taste shit, excuse the language, but when my teeth aren't in it's obvious my upper mouth is caving in. I very seldom take my teeth out when I sleep out of fear of my mouth shrinking more. My dentures look decent, I don't look like a horse mouth or all teeth like I've seen others. What is the spee? Easy explanation? Or no

Expand full comment
EGK's avatar

curve of spee is this line https://share.cleanshot.com/P27YrgDw

do your upper dentures slant up at the back? Or is just basically flat?

Also its about how the lower teeth make contact with the dentures. Because even if the dentures are shaped with a decent curve the lower teeth are making contact with it differently

Expand full comment
Carol's avatar

I have a problem there too I have a lower partial for my back molers but I don't wear it because it doesn't fit properly and I can't eat with it all the food gets caught underneath. I'm basically screwed huh? My uppers make contact with my lowers. I mean I have the correct overbite, I don't have to contort my lower jaw for them to touch. Am I wrong for keeping my teeth in at night, mostly?

Expand full comment
EGK's avatar

keeping the dentures is in my view a very good thing when u sleep at night.

But it is best if there is no locking occlusion. Meaning the jaw slides over the dentures easily without having a fixed position.

This stretches the tissue.

So in this case.. its good to make the main contact b/w upper and lower flat.

Are headaches an effect of deflating skull. I'm sure they are. I can't remember shit which is super irritating. Is there a way to help this problem

yes for sure this is one of the possible symptoms.

And memory as well.

When a dentist drilled my back teeth almost flat in 2014 a few months later i literally couldnt remember anything for months till i fixed it

I don't have my healing with DMSO book with me but I would make a 50% dilution with distilled water or Aloe Vera and rub it on your temples, in between your eyes and the back of your neck or base of your skull, making sure the areas are clean first. Even rub on your forehead above brows. It doesn't say it in the book, but I rub it on the pressure point between thumb and index finger. It lessens my headaches. I'm looking into more treatments with Castor oil too.

i would just stick to the principles of flat contact and maintain vertical.

So probably a small adjustment to your dentures to make the flat contact will have you improving

My husband was on a CPAP for almost 10 years, until it exploded one night (about 12 years ago). He didn't replace it because he found he no longer had breathing issues when asleep. He had embraced a low-carb healthy diet, lost weight and became very fit. He didn't have dentures or braces: his teeth bent inwards but met properly and he had almost no dental problems all his life.

Tragically he developed cancer, which ripped through him like a wildfire. He died 2 years after diagnosis. I'm searching for answers. As he had no orthodontic work, it isn't likely to be the curve of Spee. But he had an unusual dental structure. Is there other structural problems that could have caused or exacerbated the cancer?

Expand full comment
EGK's avatar

so what likely happened to your husband is that things changed structurally so that he could breathe better.

The body is always evolving.

And when symptoms go away people assume they 'got better'. When in my experience the natural aging process dictates the opposite. They got worse.

Because a building only collapses one way. The laws of physics dictate that.

So the body probably collapsed further in a way that allowed him to breathe better but triggered cancer.

You dont need to do orthodontic work to have a problem. Most folks misdeveloped right out of the gates when they were born and are already operating with a damaged structure.

Also.. the 'curve of spee' is going to pretty much always have flattened in situations like this.

If you had articulating paper and checked him i think u would have seen that.

but the curve of spee in and of itself is not a 'cause'. it is more like a measuring stick.

The cause for him was more likely the natural aging process which included him grinding down his teeth and the teeth moving over time.

Thank you for replying, EGK.

My husband did not reach an old age: he was diagnosed at 67 and died at 68. He was active, slim and fit, generally slept well and did not grind his teeth, which were in perfect condition until has last few months. Cancer did not run in his family as it does in many others.

I keep an open, geeky, inquisitive mind and cannot accept the “just bad luck” explanation. I believe your theories are intriguing and could help an enormous amount of people, and just wondered if you had found any relationship between jaw structure and cancer. Keep looking anyway, please, as I will. We must never accept cancer as “just bad luck/part of aging/inevitable”.

sure.. understand...

note that i wrote an article about cancer: https://reviv.substack.com/p/why-i-think-this-stuff-causes-cancer?utm_source=publication-search

i am far from having all the answers.. but i am pretty confident that in the future they will validate that the human body collapses and this causes disease.

Based on what i'm seeing for years.. it is just a far more logical interpretation than what the medical profession currently believes.

SOS WW MC

salt oil sugar (none exist in separate form in nature)

white flour (horrible, many 'fortified' chemicals called vitamins)

white rice (removes the good nutrients in the husks)

metals (the body can not use metals unless processed by plant microbes)

chemicals

all of the above either mess up our balance of fluids (salt has a very narrow range in the body, most people have too much, especially the chemically created sodium chloride). Oil does not exist in nature, except before winter in northern areas where animals have to either hibernate or 'fast' for months - these animals put on fat in the fall, and use it as fuel for a few winter months). Sugar also does not exist in nature, it always has fibre in the fruit.

processing. White flour is very bad. Agent131711 wrote many articles on white flour, fortification, and 'vitamins.' White rice removes the husks which gives many nutrients and fibre.

Metals and chemicals. The plant-processed form of metals is useful to us. Every other form is not. These cause cancers to accelerate. As a form of food for the fungi. The body encapsulates metals and chemicals. The first way is to expel (diarrhoea and vomiting), the second is to store away in fat cells, and the third is to encapsulate. The body's allies, are bacteria and fungi. Fungi go into the encapsulated space, and start to 'eat' the metals (search for mushrooms/fungi and how they are using these to 'fix' toxic soils). After the fungi have done their job, the bacteria break up the shell, and these pieces are disposed of. Inflammation, swelling, and sensitivity mark this stage. Absorbing/inhaling, injecting, eating/drinking more poisons will cause more of the 3 stages to happen. Surgeons cutting open a shell (biopsy) results in the toxic metals being spread throughout the body. Chemicals are everywhere, and only by intense focus can one reduce one's intake.

Being vegan or carnivore does not stop metals and chemicals coming into the body. Foods are sprayed, animals are injected, the water used is also contaminated. One needs to eat organic, but even better is to eat what one grows/raises themselves. If some nasty factory opens next door, ... move away. Health is more important than territory.

i’m deeply sorry to read about the death of your husband. there is a woman on substack,a dr i think,who has written extensively about the difference between OXYGEN and AIR and that oxygen is man made and without moisture. in other words DRYING. while air,which we all share and breath has moisture just by its nature of being surrounding everything: trees,water etc etc. i wonder if your husbands cancer was related to his years of breathing moisture less oxygen which would according to this drs writings desiccated his tissue to the point of cancer. i hope you find the answers you are seeking. i believe cancer has become so normalized the word itself casts a spell over the spirit which enables the body to follow suit.

Jane333 is the Substacker you're referring to in regards to oxygen vs air, I believe. Fascinating stuff!! She also digs deep into the necessity of adequate salt intake.

sam van's avatar

I have also read her thoughts.

Shorelines have access to salt. Everywhere else, the salt is hard to get, and either must be dug out, or imported. My family has lived inland for at least 3 generations. Many have lived to their 90s.

Processed foods have chemically produced salt (sodium chloride), which is the stripped form without the minerals. This is added to all processed foods. Jane333 says that is not salt. I have my reservations about her broad statements. The Japanese post-ww2 had huge salt intake, and had much higher rates of strokes. What other people's have large intakes of ocean-derived salts? (Japan is a series of islands, where all people are very near a shoreline, so salt from the ocean is readily available).

Most of Canada and the United States are far away from salt water. For generations, people lived and lived long lives, before post ww2 industrialized processed food production, distribution, and consumption. Again I state my reservations that salt is the essential element missing.

Animals rarely have access to salt if they are inland. The same logic applies.

I am still willing to experiment. I am on a very low salt regime now, with all foods prepared at home. 4 months ago, I was drinking 10 to 15 grams of salt (ocean derived) a day added to my water. I will also try one day a week with high salt, to see how my body responds.

BonnieMae's avatar

The Japanese, post-WW2, also had huge nuclear fallout issues. Could that be the real cause of strokes? I'd imagine they ate a high-salt diet for generations prior.
