I was diagnosed with dystonia & placed on Sinemet, which is used in Parkinson’s.

I have improved my symptoms with physical modalities, NUCCA chiropractic care, eye muscle dysfunction correction & my Reviv is now another piece now within my healing healing—I had identified imbalance between all these systems—all related to body feeling grounded in space. It takes up do much cognitive bandwith to ground when the body is getting wrong proprioceptive input.

High hopes w Reviv.

I am a 65+ whose cognitive abilities have IMPROVED.

I used to not be able to remember an OTP code from text to browser. I now can do 6 digits!

I do not have severe “shut down” muscle pain as I undo all my physical compensation.

Hello, I have cervical dystonia, I am very interested in knowing what you do to improve, where have you found exercises for the eyes? And revive is your symptoms improving?

I have been trying the reviv mouth gaurd for a short time and already noticed some changes in my sinuses, I think your work is really important.

Wrt “is it really that simple” when you look at the images of the Alzheimer’s brain the space between the folds has gaps in it. The skull collapse is a really interesting hypothesis and seems to be at play given the overall size but given the recent surgical interventions in the neck which have increased lymph drainage from the interstitia of the brain and skull I would speculate that fluid pressure due to soft tissue restrictions in the neck are also at play.

yes i agree it's going to end up being more complex.

but i generally take the view that the body is going to be very smart at compensating to try to save itself.

And these compensations are often going to create secondary problems.

Then scientists often chase these secondary problems thinking they are the root cause because the correlations are so tight.

But i have a feeling one day we're gonna conclude the true root cause was these biomechanics. Not because i 'hope' it is... but rather simply i've seen too many things the past 10 yrs that all point to the same mother goose.

Awesome article! I was briefly sharing my mouthguard and your theories with some friends visiting our home. Of course I’m sure they think I’m a whack job for believing it so with this article posted I did share to the wife. Just one article and the rest is for them to figure out. But I’m a total believer in this theory and committed for life. 😌🎉

thank you!

Just a point of reference, not sure how it applies. Neuroquant is a program which takes you brain MRI and calculates volumes of various regions. People with biotoxin illness (mold exposure, lyme), consistently show some volumes increase and some decreased. (Increased due to inflammation as I recall.) You can actually tell by the pattern whether someone has biotoxin illness, and even which type. The test was developed for and is mostly used for Alzheimer's and different brain areas show up increase or decreased also, but in a different pattern as biotoxin illness. (Although it is believed that biotoxin illness can lead to Alzheimer's later.)

So it may be an oversimplification to say Alzheimer's brains are small in general, it may be specific regions. It would be interesting to ask a neurologist (or even start with AI) which regions are small and see if they make sense in light of your theory based on where they are located..

yes good point... i'll need to find time to do that.

For the most part i like lay the idea down and then let folks who are far deeper into that specific topic take it forward. As just so many hours in the day...

Hello, I have used a splint similar to Stack's, for six months, every two weeks they raised my height and caused a relapse in my neck spasms. I wanted to know if it revives, which has a fixed height, brings an improvement on these splints that were increasing the height and if Stack's patients should wear the splint on night and day for life.

EGK's avatar

I don't know enough about Stack's specific protocol to feel comfortable answering that.

I know that I have played with different heights a ton back in the day... for years between 2015 - 2020.

And i generally felt that you should not get too high with the splint as some lateral jaw movement is also very helpful.

So i've always found it better to wear a mouthguard like Reviv than a high flat plane splint in how my own body responded.

But i dont want to draw any conclusions on that for you.. i always took a test and iterate mindset.

"...virtually no person with a neurological disease has been found to have perfect natural teeth with wide arches and wisdom teeth..."

What is the source of this statement? Found by whom? I'm very interested in the answer.

Unfortunately it would take a controlled study of a lot of people to determine correlation let alone cause and effect, because such a huge number of people have had this type of dental work. Similar problem to correlating root canals to disease, since almost everyone has at least one root canal.

EGK's avatar

so the source of that quote was Claude AI as I was asking for good logic points to make.

And i was honestly surprised it came up with that as i didn't ask it for this statement.

In my own anecdotal experience having watched a lot of youtube videos of patients with neurological diseases and paying attention to people for almost a decade.. i have generally found it to always be true.

But i dont have direct research i can point to. It's doubtul someone has done a study specifically looking into that

sue's avatar

Thanks for the answer. Too many errors in AI so I never trust it unless it gives the source link and I can verify it there. In fact I put the statement into another AI and it debunked it. Also an untrustworthy source.

EGK's avatar

yes i adjusted how i worded it in the article... thanks for calling it out

You’re right. People whose livelihoods are threatened will never study the thing that is the threat.

Actually @sue, EGK is performing a long term “controlled study” of his theory with Reviv or other mouthguard thru his collections of voluntary consumer based contributions of data that is being collected across the globe from those who are committed to wear the Reviv mouthguard to correct various issues. It may be that one day a focused control study will be warranted by some specialists who are aware of real health improvements being reported. But it will need to be a VERY LONG study timeframe and there isnt a Placebo to conduct s true A/B study. So EGK may have the one and only long term study, and when the world wakes up to its validity (Biomechanical impacts on human health) and the decline of the Dental and orthodontic industry begins to appear, the WAKE-UP call will accelerate and the demise of an industry may one day be wiped out, with an avalanche of negative feedback and finger-pointing, lawsuits and the like, shrinking their grifter techniques and services to simple teeth cleaning and whitening.😜

I believe in crowdsourcing medical results, but I haven't actually seen any collected data from him. That will be nice if he does that in the future. In fact I joined the forum for a month and couldn't find any examples of people who had issues and what those were, and he's acknowledged that some do. I'm not saying they aren't there but they aren't organized in any kind of way to find them, and searching didn't do it. And even with crowdsourcing and regression analysis of data, there needs to be surveys of people's histories, their issues, changes in those issues over time, etc. For example many people who've had extensive dental work probably also has root canals, so that has to be accounted for as an alternative possibility through data. Maybe that's happening behind the scenes, but it's what is needed.

We created 'Treatment groups' to track the folks with specific conditions over time.

This is our initial attempt at getting more structured data.

Basically we ask folks with that condition to update their diary about it each week and we share findings with teh group.

We'll see how this works out a bit longer and then try to see what else is needed
