Cure vs. Pain

On a TV talk show a few years ago,

I was trying to describe to the host during a commercial break what we do. I explained that I felt we had the cure for chronic recurring headaches, migraines and numerous other symptoms in the upper regions of the body. However people tell me “cure” is too strong a word. Yet when I describe the results of the treatment, no word defines it better. The television host said, "Why don't you say it just the way you said it to me when we are on the air?" That is just what I'm doing now, only I'm taking it a step further and giving you the definitions of cure and chronic to let you decide.

Cure (verb):

1. to restore a sick person or animal to health

2. to bring about recovery from an illness, disorder, or injury

3. to solve a problem

Cure (noun):

1. a medication or treatment that brings about a full recovery from an illness or

injury

2. restoration or return to health

3. something that resolves a problem

Chron·ic (adj):

1. an illness or medical condition that lasts over a long period and sometimes

causes a long-term change in the body

2. having a particular long-term illness or condition

3. always present or recurring

4. repeatedly doing something or behaving compulsively

Synonyms: constant, unceasing, unending, continual, persistent, unremitting,

unrelieved, never-ending, ever-present, lasting.

After treating this condition successfully in 9 out of 10 cases for over 30 years, I feel dentistry possesses the long-term solution to the following symptoms: recurring headaches, neck pain, eye, ear, facial pain, vertigo, and other symptoms listed on this site. Does this mean I believe all dentists are capable of providing this treatment at this time. No, nor will they for some time to come. God willing, I hope to raise the interest and passion for treating this very treatable condition. This needs to be taught in seminars around the world to increase the number of dentists capable of treating both phase 1 and phase 2. If a conservative estimate that 20% of the world population is afflicted is accurate, a huge army of knowledgeable dentists is needed to make a significant impact. I actually feel the percentage is much higher than 20%, considering all the symptoms listed on this site. All dentists will not want to treat this complex problem, but all must take on the responsibility of diagnosis and referral just as they now do with extractions, root canals, gum surgery, etc. Allowing people to live in pain cannot continue to be an option.
