+++Hi Taryn,

You did not get jaw problems by chewing too much gum as a teen. Look at cows and

other animals who chew their cud all day long, yet they don't get jaw problems.

Eskimo women chewed on animal skins to soften them for making clothing yet they

didn't have jaw problems.

Your jaw problems are caused by the same 4 things that cause any health

problems, which are:

1. Lack of proper nutrition and oxygen.

2. Accumulation of toxins, poisons, and waste.

3. Lowered vitality due to stress, shock, injury, emotional upsets, relationship

or financial worries and concerns, etc.

4. Nutritional status inherited from your parents upon conception.

So a splint won't help you, and yes the plastic is an issue. Jaw health comes

from within, mainly by consuming " proper nutrients " which are the diet and

supplements on this program. That will time and patience.

All the best, Bee

Taryn,

Just a heads up about this. I had a night guard many years ago and eventually

found out that the mold was made when my jaw was out of place. I found a

chiropractor that would help me keep my jaw in place and gave up the guard.

Because my jaw was " out " it wasn't helping at all and in fact gave me even worse

headaches.

I do not have any issues with my jaw anymore as long as I periodically have my

chiropractor adjust it.

Good luck

I'd like to dissuade you from the mouth piece. Beyond the toxicity of the

material is the fact that they change the position of your jaw and in many

cases, not for the good. I believed dentists and TMJ pain specialists have

limited avenues for help. There are online support groups for people with TMJ

and you will get the pros and cons on many treatments.

After a consultation with Bee, I've cut back on caffiene and sugar and have had

some relief of pain in the jaw. AND, the supplements have made a big

difference. I think the B's are very settling on the system and the extra fats

are calming as well. Just what the jaw, neck and shoulders need.

If you are in acute pain, try physical therapy and concentrate on the neck and

shoulders. Stretching those areas alleviates much pain.

Sincerely,

Louise
