Hello Ken, have you ever met someone who survived dementia or Alzheimer's disease thanks to biomechanics?

my friend's dad had early onset of dementia when he started as part of my first test group in early 2024 and he'd pretty much gotten rid of dementia last i heard.

Alzheimer's - some people in the community mentioned they had it but havent updated me in awhile

not a coincidence that somehow, his eyes seem constantly shrouded in darkness now. somehow, the photos, thumbnails, etc all end up showing his eyes shrouded in darkness

Hey Ken, that's an amazing analysis.. thank you!

So if his teeth changed to a bigger size they must have put veneers on top of the natural teeth I think. Combined with a few crowned teeth on the incisors maybe? If they did that, they have to prepare his teeth shaving them down, I had that done myself years ago as they crowned some of my teeth. Can that also damage biomechanically?

The age thing is not it as you have fighters like Yoel Romero (44) or Dos Anjos (fought at 40)

still having top performances.

I practice martial arts myself and I know that if someone leans on you a lot it's very tiring.

But that must not only be it because I saw him tiring out the first round.

And then there is this other guy Darren Till who challenged Tate to fight, he seems to have a hollywood smile as well.. does that automatically mean that you biomechanically collapse?

Just some questions that pop in my mind as I'm still learning about it all.

Thank you!

>> could be. Good point. I just dont think its wise for someone to start boxing with veneers on as there is a good chance they come off

prepare his teeth shaving them down, I had that done myself years ago as they crowned some of my teeth. Can that also damage biomechanically?

>> yes for sure shaving teeth down will have some biomechanical neg impacts

>> depends what u did and how fast youre collapsing... i generally find that if a person is wearing retainers than they are prob in more rapid collapse
