I have been down the Weston A Price path as well! I’m still there but love hearing your take!
Does Jim Jecman have a website? I can’t find anything but would love to see. I’m curious if mothers can untwist their pelvis before giving birth so their children don’t have such issues later on.
Any resources on this are appreciated! Thanks Ken and so excited for my Reviv to arrive and begin the stretches.
He was getting pretty grumpy and i think he also got sued as someone else noted.
Best thing to untwist the pelvis is in my view the reviv.
I had jecmen work on me and my wife a couple times. I consider it in hindsight to have been complete waste of time and money.
The only thing i consider useful from those visits from him were his insights about newborns. For the rest.. i consider him a grumpy old man who thinks he’s god’s gift… but i will have people run circles around his results with these simple biomechanics.
As you can see…. im not his biggest fan anymore. haha
He charged something like $800 because my son (4 yrs old at the time) chipped some painting that he had in the waiting room.
i didnt argue it at the time as i had a lot of ‘respect’ for him back then (which is mostly all gone)… but why he has such an expensive painting laying on the ground in the patient waiting room where kids play is beyond me.
he was studying natives (think tribes) eating their native diet. And this was in the early 1900’s. Now there are probably very few such natives still fully on their original diet.
Thank you for writing this article in response to one of my earlier comments about Weston Price. Without going into energy medicine or the human energy field, there are fundamental nutrients that are needed to develop and maintain the biomechanics. Otherwise, there is a lack of healthy bone density or soft issue for a nouthguard to even restore. I asked ChatGPT to get its opinion:
Q: Which nutrients are essential for healthy human skeletal and soft tissue development, without which the biomechanical structure of the body would collapse?
A: "For healthy human skeletal and soft tissue development, the body requires a combination of essential nutrients to maintain its biomechanical structure. These include:
1. For Skeletal Tissue (Bones):
Calcium: Vital for bone mineralization and strength.
Vitamin D: Facilitates calcium absorption and bone remodeling.
Phosphorus: Works with calcium to form the mineral matrix of bones.
Magnesium: Necessary for bone density and proper functioning of vitamin D.
Vitamin K2: Helps regulate calcium deposition, ensuring it goes to bones and not soft tissues.
Protein: Provides the structural framework (collagen) for bone mineralization.
Zinc: Contributes to bone growth and repair.
Boron: Supports bone metabolism and the retention of calcium and magnesium.
2. For Soft Tissue (Muscles, Ligaments, Tendons, and Skin):
Protein (Amino Acids): Essential for building and repairing soft tissue. Collagen, made from amino acids like glycine and proline, is particularly important for tendons, ligaments, and skin.
Vitamin C: Required for collagen synthesis and tissue repair.
Copper: Aids in forming cross-links in collagen and elastin, providing tensile strength.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
Iron: Necessary for oxygen delivery to soft tissues, supporting repair and energy production.
Selenium: Helps protect soft tissues from oxidative damage.
3. General Nutrients Supporting Both:
Vitamin A: Critical for cell growth and repair in bones and soft tissue.
B Vitamins (especially B6, B9, B12): Play a role in collagen synthesis and red blood cell production, supporting tissue repair and oxygenation.
Manganese: Supports bone formation and connective tissue integrity.
Potassium: Helps maintain cellular function and prevents loss of calcium from bones.
Water: Maintains hydration for cellular health and nutrient transport.
Sulfur: Integral to certain amino acids (e.g., cysteine, methionine) that form connective tissue.
A deficiency in any of these nutrients can compromise the strength, flexibility, and repair capacity of the skeletal and soft tissues, leading to conditions like osteoporosis, weakened tendons and ligaments, or impaired wound healing."
I suspect that your "crap diet" in Thailand is still healthier than an American diet, so you're getting the right nutrients to maintain the cranial structure. If all your teeth fell out due to a truly crappy American diet, no mouthguard would help. :)
By the way, when I had an osteopath back in 2016, he asked me one of the most eye-opening intake questions ever: "When you were born, did your mother have a natural childbirth or Caesarean section?" I had to ask my mom, and she said it was a complicated emergency C-section. So I definitely experienced birth trauma as well as orthodontic trauma.
i also think a lot of the damage happens pre-birth when sitting inside the mother.
understand your point about the nutrients.. could be…. i dont go out of my way to eat crappy food. I just eat whatever i want when i want to eat it. And have found that this keeps the recovery moving nicely
You need to look into carnivore diet. Beef, butter, bacon, and eggs. A proper human diet.
I’ve always been a nose breather. My upper arch is narrow.
Since carnivore tumors on my upper jaw are almost gone. Had them there forever. My tongue has room to lay flat.
Plants are not part of the proper human diet. This is why you can’t tell the difference no matter what you eat. Your body is full of food and plant toxins. Carnivore will eliminate all that.
Research it. Check out Dr. Ken Berry on YouTube. He is a Tennessee family practitioner. He been a carnivore for eight years. You want muscles. Look into A Proper Human Diet.
Yeh this makes total sense to some part of the picture, our western foods have led to more tooth decay causing higher chances of getting extractions as a kid. So this definitely shows that “diet” is still important and goes hand in hand with proper teeth hygiene to a certain extent.
You say that adding height at a young age can be the cure for proper development but what happens when the kids get the composite removed? Does the always need to be adding composite for the rest of his life as this seems pretty impractical?

I think he’s retired. So no.. no website.
He tries to shy away from the public i believe.

What are you supposed to eat according to him?
@ReadingRainbow, you can read the Weston Price diet guidelines here: https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/dietary-guidelines

yes osteos are big into the birth process.

The way dentists do it as it was explained to me by one of them is you put the composite on the last baby tooth.
The adult tooth comes up to the new height behind it.
Baby tooth with composite drops off.
Done.
ill have a look..
How long does the daily stretching take?
As long as u want. The more u do the more progress u make.
I literally use every free minute to do it
Any way to only buy the revive and not the other stuff?
yes only reviv is $25 (incl shipping) on www.getreviv.com
