Biological Dentist

I really should not have gone to have 3 hours of torturous dental exams after being in the hospital the previous day having a torturous endoscopy. While this is all way to much trauma in 48hrs, the dentist had a cancellation and I wanted to just get it over with.

The drive up was weird. I was a strange kind of dizzy. My mom has to drive me everywhere for my own safety and for the safety of others. I'm usually dizzy in the car, but this was weird. Maybe leftover anesthesia? It was alarming Not sure if I should have had lunch right before my appointment but I did.

I had not been to the dentist in probably 5 years. I AVOID going because I have some sort of strange claustrophobia of the mouth that I cannot explain. However, in my quest to pursue all avenues of health, I figured I had better get my teeth checked. I have read many things regarding full body health and it's relation to the teeth. I also wanted to go to a biological dentist because they acknowledge chronic illness, namely Lyme.

First, I have to say I was assigned the sweetest, calmest, most wonderful dental assistant without whom I would not have survived the complete and utter torture of the exams. Now, I am NOT fluent in dental jargon, so bear with me as I try to describe what happened using simple descriptions.

So, it's all kind of a blur, but I had my teeth "tested" with a freezing Q-tip placed on each tooth to make sure they were alive? My front teeth are by far the most sensitive. They check my blood pressure on my calf to see how I am absorbing calcium. They also checked my blood pressure laying down AND standing up which I LOVED! They took pictures with a camera, did mold tray things to get an imprint which I swear I was gonna suffocate and die from. I coughed and gagged and panicked at one point. It was so embarrassing but we were finally able to get one while the assistant tapped on my temples. It was a strange kind of distraction to keep me from gagging. Then I went and got pictures taken for my posture, stood in the middle of a rotating space-like machine that I am assuming was a cavitation scanner, and had X-rays which was awful. A jagged, uncomfortable device had to be in my mouth for each picture and it felt like a chain link fence was being shoved down my throat. The assistant put salt on my tongue to help me from coughing and choking and it seemed tow work. I had a nutritional scan from a little space egg looking device, and probably other things happened but I can't remember. Probably 'cause I blocked everything out.

So after all the trauma, I finally met the dentist. He asked me what brought him to the office and boy did I have a response. He internalized everything and we seemed to be on the same page. I asked him about my jaw, my subluxation of my atlas, my dizziness, why my tongue is purple and has teeth indentations around it, why my lips are purple, why my stomach lining is destroyed, and why my nervous system is on the fritz. He suggested a liver cleanse. He tested a liver pressure point on my hand and it HURT, which he says means my liver is backed up. He says my lymphatic system is backed up like sewage, and it's affected my lips and tongue. He told me to take betonite clay and apple cider vinegar for my stomach. He pointed a laser through all my teeth and read numbers to the assistant which I didn't understand. He says the need to floss which I admit I do not do. It's too hard with permanent retainers on top AND bottom. I told him I had two wisdom teeth pulled over a decade ago, too. Oh, and he said my adrenals are having a hard time. They work by themselves I guess 'cause I've had them checked, but maybe my atlas is affecting them. My jaw is also weird. It was strange to not understand a lot there. I'm fairly knowledgable in natural medicine and my conditions, but I don't know squat about dental. ESPECIALLY these high tech, top of the line tests.

So, I have to wait TWO MONTHS FOR MY EXAM RESULTS! This dentist is the best of the best, very sought after, and very overbooked. Their office is beautiful, their staff is pristine, and even though I am a WUSS, they took good care of me. I would recommend this place to anybody. I like how they focus on the whole body, and use natural medicine in conjunction with VERY modern technology.

I don't think my results will be pretty, but that's why I went.

So all of this happened yesterday. Today has been awful. My dizziness is worse. My stomach is worse. My sleeping is worse. My "death" feeling episodes are worse. I really wish I could describe them. I feel like it stems from my stomach and/or my spine pressing on something. I still think it's my vagus nerve. I'm hoping that will be looked into further at the Hansa Center.

Until then, hopefully the PTSD will subside from this week.
