Ludwig von Mises, in his book, Bureaucracy, made the comment that

bureaucracies cannot really innovate. In my opinion, they are close

to the hardest things in the world to change, even if they are

completely in the wrong.

Sometimes, bureaucracies can cost people their health, even their

lives. So when it comes to medical care, I stay away from

bureaucratic doctors and dentists. As an example, I once had a

doctor tell me, " If the AMA doesn't approve it, it doesn't work. " Of

course, I never saw him again, and warned everyone else to stay away

from him.

Contrary to what that doctor thought, there are plenty of things

that do work, things most doctors and dentists know nothing about.

When it comes to me, I have noticed that whenever something goes

wrong physically, generally the first thing that happens is I

develop insomnia. Sometimes, I've gotten insomnia before I knew

anything was wrong with me. Then, a short time later, the problem

manifested itself. The insomnia is a warning sign, even though at

the time I often don't know what is wrong. I have no idea why I am

like this.

For the past few months I've had insomnia. Strangely, at the same

time I could feel my heart beating in my chest. I knew the two were

related, although I cannot explain why. I just knew.

Unfortunately, this time I was completely at a loss as to why I had

the insomnia and pounding heart. Since the problem didn't go away, I

decided to see the doctor.

As I stated, I no longer see the " typical " doctor. Or dentist, for

that matter. One thing I require all doctors and dentists to have is

an EAV/EDS machine.

" EAV " means " Electro-acupuncture According to Voll. " " EDS "

means " Electro-Dermal Screening. " Whatever the name given to the

machines, all of them essentially do the same thing: they read

the " acupuncture " meridians in the body. These meridians end on the

hands, feet and teeth.

These meridians are not full of some kind of mystical " chi. " They

are minute DC electrical currents, nothing more. If they are too

high, it's a sign of inflammation. If they are too low, it's a sign

of degeneration.

I've had people (who've never been tested by these machines) tell me

they don't work. Since I have been tested by them for three years,

this is assuming I am so stupid I can be conned for all that time. I

doubt that.

I explained the situation to my doctor, after which he tested me.

The test consists of nothing more than holding an electrode in one

hand while the tester touches the tip of another electrode to the

various points on the hands, feet and gums. The results show up on a

rising or falling line on a computer screen. If the line's too high,

inflammation; too low, degeneration.

In my case, everything showed up fine when my hands and feet were

tested, except that my heart and pituitary tested unbalanced. Then

the doctor moved to my teeth. Still no problems.

Then he tested the sockets where my wisdom teeth had been.

Bam.

The socket on the lower left side tested high--a sign of

inflammation. Even though I did not mention it to the doctor, the

lower left side of my jaw has felt " heavy " for the past few months.

I didn't think anything of it.

" You have a cavitation in that socket, " the doctor told me.

I already knew what a cavitation is. It's a hole in the jawbone left

by an extraction when it doesn't heal properly. They are very

common, and usually don't show up on x-rays. Sometimes people have

problems with them; sometimes they don't.

Almost 20 years ago I had that wisdom tooth extracted, because it

was impacted. It was lying on its side under the skin. I clearly

remember the oral surgeon had to cut the tooth into three pieces to

get it out. His assistant had to temporarily leave the room because

of the blood and smoke and general mess being made.

When a tooth is extracted, the dentist is supposed to grind the

socket down and remove all the ligaments. Otherwise, a cavitation

might develop. I remember the surgeon just sewed me up. Twenty years

ago they didn't know otherwise.

So, I've had a cavitation in that socket for almost 20 years. I've

never had a problem with it. Apparently in the past few months some

bacteria decided to take up residence there. This means the

cavitation is now necrotic--some of the bone is dead. That's why the

meridian from that socket tested high. The area is inflamed. That's

why it feels " heavy " to me, even though there is no pain or swelling.

The meridian that runs from my inflamed cavitation goes to the

pituitary and heart. That's why they are unbalanced, and why I have

the insomnia and pounding heart. My unbalanced pituitary is what is

was causing the insomnia.

" I see this all the time, " my doctor told me. He said he gets many,

many patients claiming something is wrong with their hearts, which

most doctors are clueless to diagnose. Very often, it's caused by a

dental problem--a root canal, a metal filling (which upset the

currents), or an infection. Just about the only way to discover the

problem is through an EAV/EDS machine.

He also told me he " didn't know what he would do " without the

machine he has. He can diagnose in ten minutes what I have seen othe

doctors unable to diagnose in seven years. And not just him--any

doctor or dentist with the proper equipment can do it.

The EAV was invented in Germany in the 1950s, almost 50 years ago.

Although more and more doctors and dentists are using them, all of

them should have one. In my area, I know of one doctor and one

dentist who have one, out of probably a thousand practitioners.

That's it. Such are the horrors of bureaucracy. If I had my way, I'd

close down the AMA and ADA in the next nano-second.

Let doctors and dentists get on their toes and compete, instead of

being protected from competition by the State and its AMA/ADA

bureaucracies. Maybe then they'd get up-to-date treatments...even if

they are almost 50 years old.

Unfortunately, dental infections are pretty much immune to

antibiotics. They have to be cleaned out surgically.

This means I'll be seeing an oral surgeon soon. I hope his assistant

doesn't leave the room this time.

interesting. All new to me. MamaLiberty)
