If you can arrange the funding I have no problem with that. We have a great deal of data which the public needs to see. Any philanthropists out there please?
Again, I am specifically talking about palpation of the lateral pterygoid area. You do not need to start up any of your own studies. I have provided an example link to at least one published paper previously, which stated that "Considering the lack of validity and reliability associated with the palpation of the lateral pterygoid area, this diagnostic procedure should be discarded".
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11809325
And it has been
cited by 62 other papers, so it appears to have been at least read and possibly accepted by a few other professionals.
As for publishing your data, there are many guides on the internet about getting that done. None of which involve large bribes or such.
Against those 62 I have 400 patients who will swear to my assertion.
Forgive me but I only have anecdotal evidence like patient testimonials. I am reproducing a recent one from a patient with her kind permission:
"I am a 55yr old female, who apart from childhood/ early adult asthma and sports related wear and tear of the knee, elbow, shoulder and neck, (mild cervical spondylosis), had enjoyed 54 yrs of robust good health.
In December 2014 1 became ill, the symptoms were as follows:-
1) Severe, life altering dizziness;
2) Severe parasthesias tingling in arms and legs;
3) Exhaustion;
4) Tinnitus;
5) Unexplained, unwanted weight loss from 9 st to under 8 st, for my height, underweight.
My excellent GP whom I had rarely visited, ran many tests over several weeks
It was found that I had a positive ANA blood count that gradually rose from 1:80 to 1:320
(zero would be normal), indicative of an Auto Immune Disease.
This combined with my other symptoms meant that I was suspected of having either Multiple Sclerosis or Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus (SLE).
Extensive tests/scans and investigations ensued with consultants in the following fields:-
1) Neurology;
2) Rheumatology;
3) ENT;
4) Cardiology;
5) Orthopaedic.
Whilst waiting for the results of these tests, all of which eventually proved inconclusive, I found Dr Amir's website and arranged an appointment in Feb 2015.
I have always known that my frame and
jaw are not symmetrical, but, somewhat to my surprise, Dr Amir explained this could be causing all of my symptoms.
The following day he fitted two discreet braces to redress this imbalance, which I continue to wear. He also recommended specific exercises, some dietary changes and supplementation.
Now, 4 months later, my symptoms are hugely reduced and my health is returning to normal.
The life compromising dizziness is now intermittent and not severe. Sleep is no longer interrupted by the tingling which is barely perceptible.
My GP was delighted and surprised by all of this and in particular, that the ANA blood test has now reversed and returned to normal meaning it is back to Zero. He wanted to know if I'd been doing anything different to bring about this extraordinary change other than the physiotherapy that had been recommended to me to alleviate the cervical spondylosis.
As yet, I haven't told him of my regular consultations and treatment with Dr Amir, but will do so when all symptoms are completely resolved and my treatment is finished.
I am truly indebted to Dr Amir for his unswerving confidence and ability to bring about this dramatic turnaround in my health. I will never be able to thank him enough."
The patient is highly educated and a prominent member of society. No MS scientific studies helped her but simple basic common sense treatment.
In this post the ANA test is scientific at least. I do know that ANA is one indicator and not exclusive to MS.
I can provide many many more testimonials. Would that help you accept that there is a way out of this quagmire of 'MS'?
