Cheek Biting and Jaw Clenching

[Guest guest]

I was interested to have another person admit to cheek biting, which may have

to do with the jaw, TMJ, facial formation and repetitive behavior. I used to

bite my nails and decided to stop at a rather young age and did so easily.

The cheek biting was something I did without knowing it. I'd be driving in

traffic or something and find that I had done it without knowing it. I also

clamped down my teeth during the day. With mercury in my mouth, both of these

habits probably exacerbated the absorption of mercury into my system.

I wonder how much of this repetitive behavior is just habit and how much has

to do with brain injury. I am quite sure that I will never know the answer to

those questions. However, I am sure that with mercury fillings in the mouth,

both behaviors are probably going to enhance mercury toxicity. SJ
