Dr. McMakin:
Hi, everybody. Am I here.

Kevin:
You’re here. You’re here. You’re alive. You’re there.

Dr. McMakin:
Obviously, Kim is up in Canada and she always starts every. This is the first one I’ve ever done by myself, so I’m going to be fine. And you know how she starts every podcast with the word for the day? The word for the day is obviously flexibility. I was downstairs on the phone with a credit card processing people trying to get something sorted out. So thanks for being flexible. And rather than have a guest speaker, I figured I’d just answer questions for an hour and talk about stuff with you. So you’re the guest. Whoever’s listening, there’s 30 of you. So we should be able to come up with something between the all of us. What do you think? Let’s start with Michelle. And I have a bunch of questions from the.

Dr. McMakin:
Michelle hoping this is not a repeat question. How should we treat menstrual pain There’s a protocol in the CustomCare called Dysmenorrhea. And the purpose is to slow down bleeding and treat the uterus for inflammation and spasm. And that seems to work to reduce the flow and reduce the pain. It’s not going to be 100% effective. You can treat the tissues or the uterus and the endometrium. So the uterus is 34 and the endometrium is 155.

Dr. McMakin:
And so there’s that. And then the other thing to consider when you’re treating menstrual pain is a stable state approach is B6. So look at estrogen metabolism. And estrogen metabolism and how your liver converts. The estrogen that comes to it into. There’s about 16 different forms of estrogen. Some of are inflammatory and some of them aren’t. And the inflammatory estrogens are the ones that seem to be the troublemakers, both for breast and the uterus.

Dr. McMakin:
So how do you get your liver to turn estrogen into the non-inflammatory kind? By and large, that’s B-6 and magnesium. That’s the pathway that takes it down, the anti-inflammatory pathway. The other thing you can add to that is evening primrose oil, gamma linolenic acid, borage oil and I’d try that.

Dr. McMakin:
So we have the effect of the frequencies and you have to consider the whole stable state conversation. What do you add to the frequencies to create a stable state? They’ll support what you’re doing with the frequencies.

Dr. McMakin:
Okay, Denise, I have a client who has a tendon, question mark, that pops over often when she squats or goes upstairs. I’m assuming. Okay, it’s hamstring pops to the lateral knee. Oh, 13. No, wouldn’t do that. Nope, wouldn’t do that. 81/10 If it pops. I’d try 124 and 77. One of the hamstrings is flat. One of the hamstrings is round.

Dr. McMakin:
So you do. 124, torn and broken and 77 the flat one .191 is the round one. And the other thing with the knee, it only hurts when he squats or he goes upstairs. So that has to do with the quadriceps and that has to do with the hip and the pelvis. So look at the pelvis. Look at the hip. The knees hardly ever the problem. The knee gets caught between the hip and the ankle. When you walk and that’s what I look at.

Dr. McMakin:
All right. Always check if it’s been asked before. I don’t care if it’s been asked before. What is the data about learning? You have to hear something seven times before it sticks. Have a patient with bilateral wrist and hand pain. Okay. Carpal tunnel and neck have been negative. That’s not possible. Concussion is not going to affect the wrist. 396 down the arm and hand. Cervical traction. Nope. Nope, it’s not the. When did it start? Bruce, we’re missing some history here. It didn’t come from space. What? How? What did they do? So is it 124/191. Bilateral hip hand and wrist pain, hand and wrist. What’s a sensory exam like? What are the patellar reflexes like? So there’s the exam part of it. Did they sprain the wrist? Did they break something? What do they do for a living? Do they make pizza dough or do they sew? What? Are they a pianist? What’s causing it? That’s the problem with FSM.

Dr. McMakin:
It’s not a problem. It’s a gift. It makes you use your brain. It’s not going to be central because there’s no part of the homunculus in the thalamus of the CNS that includes just both hands. It’ll be both hands and both feet. So, Bruce, go back and do a physical exam. Do a history. When did it start? What makes it better? What makes it worse? So when did it start? What makes it better? What makes it worse? What is the physical exam? Patellar reflexes? Sensation? Range of motion, even. What motion makes it worse? Is it all the time? Is it only when they grab things. So is it torn and broken in the tendons? So that’s where to go with that one.

Dr. McMakin:
Oh, started two years ago. Yay, Bruce. I knew you’d do it. Reflex is normal. I’m assuming sensations normal. No injury. Interesting. What do they do for a living? How old is the patient? You have the advantage of already knowing all this stuff. But these are the questions that I look at when you look at a patient. I have trouble doing. I don’t do telemedicine because you can’t tell. You can’t tell when. You can’t tell enough. Looking at somebody on video. I’d go with mechanical.

Dr. McMakin:
Female. 35 years old. She’s some sort of technician. I would try to. Number one, I’d check her for Ehlers-Danlos. So check for Hypermobility and maybe try just torn unbroken in the round tendons. And if you look at trigger points in the forearm flexors, they will refer pain into the hand and wrist. So that’s a possibility. And treat the forearm muscles. Maybe? That’s a thought.

Dr. McMakin:
Erectile dysfunction. We talk about that in the Advanced, Michelle. Symptoms get better with any antibiotics that are prescribed for anything. That’s interesting. Erectile dysfunction is usually vascular inflammation, so difficulty for the arteries and the veins to produce nitric oxide. And antibiotics. So does he have root canals? That this is a new one for me? So flexibility is a good watchword to start this with. Reptile dysfunction antibiotics. That’s interesting. So there are questions you ask a patient about erectile dysfunction. What tooth problems? Then he needs a 3D cone beam and root canals and infected teeth get pulled. We don’t do root canals and infection creates inflammation. Inflammation gets in the way of producing nitric oxide. Immune system upregulation. The questions about erectile dysfunction involves things like do you have erections during your sleep? So there’s an old technique where they put a piece of scotch tape or something on a flaccid penis when the guy went to sleep and if he woke up in the morning and the tape had come loose, that suggested that he had an erection in his sleep.

Dr. McMakin:
And that’s different than an erection with sexual activity imminent. Erection is parasympathetic. Ejaculation is sympathetic. So it’s a complicated neurologic situation. If antibiotics make it better, then it’s inflammation in the blood vessels preventing nitric oxide from being produced. So that he obviously for him is get the get a 3D cone beam and get the tooth pulled and fix the jaw. So there we go. That would be my guess.

Dr. McMakin:
Denise. You’re welcome, Linda, dystrophic, no. Nope. I can’t even pronounce it. Dystrophicepidermolysisbullosa. Butterfly children with FSM for skin and fascia. No, I haven’t seen it. So the question is always it affects the skin. Check on Google and see what it’s associated with. And then go back and treat the cause of that.

Dr. McMakin:
Debbie. Okay. How can we treat a bone spur caused by degeneration? Oh, it’s a collagen gene defect. Try 124/77. I’ve never treated it, but we’re back to Linda. I’ve never treated it. But if it’s a collagen gene defect I’d try that. Okay. Bone. Spur. Bone spurs are caused by constant tone, constant tension on a tendon.

Dr. McMakin:
This is what I learned at New Heights. It’s take a band and get the multifidi and the rotators moving Joints that don’t move, tendons that don’t move, cause bone spurs because of Wolf’s law. Just pulling on the bone creates a bone spur. If you get the muscle to move. At that segment. And the problem is the segment is stiff.

Dr. McMakin:
The stuff above and below it are going to move. But getting that particular segment to move means this is an exercise. So you do basically isometrics. So here I am holding my head still and turning with about five degrees of motion and getting those little teeny muscles to contract and start to dissolve the bone spur. You can use FSM with 91 maybe and 217 on Channel A with the periosteum and the connective tissue.

Dr. McMakin:
Oh, interesting. Debbie uses 49/100. Never done that. I’ve always treated Ehlers-Danlos with 124/77. Before and after photos. All ligaments in the entire body will be tightened. I don’t know about ligaments I use connective tissue or Ehlers-Danlos 124 and 77 neck to feet.So, I don’t know. I’ve never used 49 or 100. I’m glad it works. But in Ehlers-Danlos, it’s not just the ligaments, it’s all the connective tissue. In the gut, the arteries, the gums. It’s connective tissue everywhere.

Dr. McMakin:
Okay, So, Denise, I’m assuming we’re back to bone spurs. Why not scarring and calcium? No, you can do scarring and calcium. Why is the built up causing tournament ligament to pop over. Oh, I see. The leg gives way on him. The lower part of his leg doesn’t get the message.

Dr. McMakin:
Whoops. Hesitation for a second after it pops for the leg to work again. That I’d still go for torn and broken. Can’t tell you. I guess I’d have to see it and put my hands on it. I’d try 124 and when the muscles or the ligaments are misaligned, the brain really does. If something is dislocating or loose. The brain really does say, Yeah, no, you’re not going to move this for a while. So there’s that. Let me know how it turns out. This.

Dr. McMakin:
Okay. 75-year-old vertigo symptoms. Whoops. Contributor. Shes asked to keep her head still and follow her therapist fingers. Yes. Extremes of vision. Yes. Yes. She’s taking Lyrica, Meclizine, and blood pressure medications. I’d send her to an FCOVD Optomitrist who will examine her for the need for prison glasses. The question is it peripheral or central? Did she have a stroke that affects her vestibular system? So this is the 75-year-old with vertigo symptoms. And I’m assuming that as she moves her eyes left and right, that the eyes bounce a bit, maintaining her focus on the finger as it moves, dizziness increases.

Dr. McMakin:
So the other thing to check. Anonymous. The other thing to check is what blood pressure medication she’s on. So some blood pressure medications can cause these kind of difficulties. I’ll always check anytime a patient’s on medication, because I was a drug rep and I had to memorize side effects.

Dr. McMakin:
The challenge with the Internet is that they don’t publish all of the side effects that have ever been seen with that medication. So I have a bunch of PDRs. The really thick, actual books. I think there’s actually one on the bookshelf behind me. Check for side effects. So there are some medications that can cause that as well.

Dr. McMakin:
Bone spurs. Hi, Derek. Inflammation in the joint capsule, the periosteum, the tendon, connective tissue. But bone spurs are calcifications cause Wolff’s law. Constant tension of a ligament or tendon attached to the periosteum will. The body will reinforce it with calcium and that’s where the bone spurs come from. They don’t come from space. They come from tight muscles or ligaments pulling on bones. So I take the 91, the calcium frequency 606 and I don’t remember the other one. And then 91/217, I wouldn’t do anything with calcium receptors. Calcium receptors are everywhere, including your heart. So I don’t think we have frequencies for calcium receptors

Dr. McMakin:
Diana. Bacterial cellulitis right legs. You don’t treat inflammation. You can treat infection and probably immune support. And leave it alone until they’re off the antibiotics. Guess you could use wound healing as long as you don’t use the frequencies to reduce inflammation. And good luck. Yeah. Cellulitis is difficult. Dangerous is a better word.

Dr. McMakin:
Flat feet. Oh, yeah. Patients with flat feet directly cause ankle pain. Yep. Knee pain? Yep. So if you think about flat feet, if they’ve been flat-footed their whole life, that’s easy because everybody’s their whole leg and spine is used to that. But as you get older, your feet tend to get flatter and that internally rotates your tibia, that puts pressure on your knee internally, rotates the femur because your foot is flat. And the first range of motion that you lose in your femur is internal rotation as the hip degenerates. The solution, as far as I’m concerned, is I don’t use custom orthotics. I had somebody put me in an orthotic called Superfeet and at one point, while I still have them in all of my shoes except for one brand that has an arch support built into it. But Superfeet, it’s a plastic, fabric-coated orthotic that fits inside your shoes. They’re in every running store and that elevates the arch. And then you’re going to have to treat. If you take somebody who’s flat-footed, put them in pronation-control shoes and an arch support. And then the next week you’ll end up treating the muscles in the lower leg, the knee and the hip, and possibly the low back because it goes all the way up the chain. Eventually, they get used to them, so I’d try that. Cool. All right. Am I missing anything?

Kevin:
I think there’s a couple in the chat.

Dr. McMakin:
Couple in the Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah. Kevin does look lighter. Use 7/81.

Kevin:
This is for Facebook, not for me. Yeah.

Dr. McMakin:
If use increased secretions in the testicles, does it stimulate testosterone? No. We tried twice with David Zava doing the test, and it doesn’t. We can increase. We increased estrogen when I was the patient or the victim. But David Zava, I figured maybe he had just had too much caffeine. So thought it was just because David was drinking too much coffee. And so I tried it on another patient who was, I think, in his early 70s and couldn’t. We did salivary hormone testing we couldn’t get. We had we had no effect on testosterone, we could increase my estrogen. So I felt horrible. But no, that would be nice. And in Cushing, testosterone is not always a good thing. So that’s the other thing. You can’t assume that’s sexual difficulties or energy difficulties are secondary to lower testosterone or lower cortisol. So I did a whole podcast/webinar on fatigue, and maybe we’ll do that at some point. But don’t assume it’s hormones. Test the hormones. So blood work, salivary work, whatever is in your scope, whatever you can do. That’s what I would check.

Dr. McMakin:
Danielle. Hi Danielle. Disc protocols help restore disk height? I have an N of one. Me. I had an L5, S1 disk that was thin and dark and a little bit bulgy, but definitely dried up, degenerated on an MRI, and five years later I had low back pain from an SI joint problem and we did an lumbar MRI, and that same disc that had been thin and flat and dark, five years later, was thick and white and fluffy, so. The potential is. Yes. So, maybe. I guess it’s maybe. The other thing I did besides that was exercises from the new folks at New Heights.

Dr. McMakin:
How are we doing for the August master class in Hawaii? Derek is wanting to know. You guys know we’re going to Hawaii, right? In August. We’re doing a Core seminar in Kona. You should come. And then the week after that, we’re going to Derek Nakamura’s for a Master Class. And the master class is in the morning from nine-ish to 1-ish, and then I’m going to two-step, which is about 15 minutes away by by car. It’s the best snorkeling in Hawaii. And so that’s the master class. And the master class is completely individualized. There’s no script. There’s every webinar and podcast I’ve ever done. And you get to ask questions and we can work on you or. Work on somebody. Or just do thought experiments talk about how you would think about treating something. So that’s. That’s a good idea. Have Derek come on and talk about. Can we get? Oh, Derek says we’re full with the rooms, so they’re full at sleeping rooms. Catering. Oh, too bad for the chef.

Dr. McMakin:
Alf. Whoops. Was told they had an accessory bone. Where prescription for New Balance alleviated the problem. Could accessory buttons actually be bone spurs where the new balance prescription relieve whatever is causing an irritation. No one accessory bone is actually an extra bone. And the only patients who have this accessory bone removed by an overenthusiastic podiatrist has been universally disastrous.

Dr. McMakin:
So it’s a good thing they left it by itself. It’s a little accessory bone. It’s usually a small extra bone that your body decided to make when you were an infant. And it changes the mechanics in the foot. So having a particular kind of shoe could relieve the problem. Yay.

Dr. McMakin:
Alf. Increasing secretion of the pituitary or pineal. I have absolutely no data. Zip zero. None. I treat the pineal gland in the sleep protocol and one time I ran 81/102 at bedtime and it was all I could do to stay awake. Like I passed out after running it for a few minutes. But that’s an N of one and I have no data.

Dr. McMakin:
How many treatments for chronic Achilles tendonitis to resolve? I have no idea. It really depends. It really depends on how long they’ve had it, so I’d still run torn and broken in the tendon. And with chronic Achilles tendonitis, you have to remember that you can also get sprouting of the nerves and sprouting of the blood supply to the tendons. So sometimes you have to treat scarring in the nerve and the blood vessels. 124/191 and 124/77 will usually take care of it. And I have no idea how many treatments. There’s no way to tell somebody because they’re just too many variables. One of the things you tell for the stable state is they put a pillow at the end of the bed.

Dr. McMakin:
The only way I know this is because Kathleen Cashman told me when I had Achilles tendonitis. And that was a pillow at the end of the bed so that your feet are straight and not pointed, so your Achilles tendon is not shortened at night. You want to keep your feet at 90 degrees at night. And that was the stable state was that. But 124/191. At least that’s what Kathleen used on me. Yeah sorry Alf Have you heard of anyone using FSM in gardening applications? Actually, yes. One of the first case reports we had was one of the practitioners in Colorado whose son did son or daughter did an experiment for her science project was using FSM, the concussion protocol in water and watering the plants with FSM water. And in the same room had plants that were watered with regular water, and the FSM plants grew more under the same conditions. And there was one night when it got really cold and you know that 6.8/38 is for chill. Being chilled. And the FSM plants got over the frostbite, the chill faster than the non-FSM plants. Isn’t that cool? And so there we go.

Dr. McMakin:
I’ve got some written questions. Frequencies for Covid vaccine injuries. Okay. So the. Frequencies for the respiratory flu that we came up with. It’s in the webinar section of the.

Dr. McMakin:
So you go to the website and it’s the two flu respiratory protocols. There’s six frequencies for all the flu viruses that are on the Advanced laminate. And you combine those with the tissues that are misbehaving. So internal electric-like shocks. I treat the virus in the spinal cord. Virus in the nerve. Virus in the sensory motor cortex. Itching. Bleeding. Hives on the scalp and face. Yuck. That means I would use the virus in the Vagus because the Vagus has the job of suppressing the immune response. And if the Vagus is inactivated, let’s say, by the virus. The other thing you have to find out is Which kind of vaccine the patient had. Because the Moderna and Pfizer have polyethylene glycol in it as the disinfectant, and J&J didn’t have polyethylene glycol. So I’m allergic to polyethylene glycol. So if I was, I did get vaccinated because I had to fly. And the JnJ doesn’t have polyethylene glycol. Short version is you also have to use the frequencies for toxicity. So the six virus frequencies, the three toxicity frequencies and think about the Vagus, the spinal cord. So internal electrical shocks or what? It has to be the nerve, right. So the spinal cord, the nerve may be the sensory cortex, the Vagus for itching, bleeding, yuck. Hives also may be the blood vessels.

Dr. McMakin:
Okay, Scleroderma. We have a protocol for scleroderma and autoimmune disease. And find out what. When their first flare up is.

Dr. McMakin:
So your immune system decides that your capillaries belong to somebody else. They get acutely inflamed in the hands and forearms especially. And then they fibrous. So then they scar. So. Something turns the vagus nerve off. So you run concussion and Vagus. If they got scleroderma after they had Covid, then you’d run the virus frequencies along with the Vagus and the capillaries. Does that make sense? That’s my guess. You understand this is all a thought experiment, that’s what. I think the flexibility word is a good word for today. Oh, that’s a good idea. All right. Okay, Bryce. Books Podcast. The concept of central sensitization still has me confounded a bit. Can this be conceptually dumbed down and then explained in clinical terms of how you know if a patient is in it or out of it? That’s a really good question. So central. Oh, wait. Back to Denise. This lady’s had scleroderma for 12 years. The scleroderma protocol that we developed in England was to treat the capillaries and the connective tissue and the skin for scarring. I use the 58 and scar tissue and put the contacts. I think we went from the neck to the hands. And then you also have to treat concussion and Vagus to turn the Vagus on. But if you look into when she got scleroderma, all of the eight patients that we did the study on, it was immediately preceded by some sort of incredibly stressful or traumatic event. All right.

Dr. McMakin:
Back to Bryce. So. Central sensitization. So Central is in the middle of your brain. It’s the limbic system. Okay, so what’s sensitizes it? Let’s go to whatever normal function is in the brain, okay? And every cell, every part of your brain has input from every other part of the brain. And let’s say in somebody that is raised in a happy, normal, if there is such a thing, pleasant, safe household. Caring household right? And in that person to get the midbrain limbic system stress response to fire. It takes a hundred yes votes. So all of the different parts of the brain are voting about whether or not I should run away from the tiger cell should fire. And you get all the votes in and you have 100 yes votes before that. I should run away from the tiger. Cell fires. If a patient is centrally sensitized. It only takes 50 votes. Yes, votes. It takes less objective air quotes. “Objective stress” to make the patient painful, frightened, upset, agitated, nervous. Pick something. So how do you tell if somebody is centrally sensitized? Basicly, I ask in the history. How tall are you? Have you ever had any surgeries? Have you ever had any car accidents? Have you ever been molested, abused or raped? It’s all in the same tone of voice, the same matter of fact. Now, if your name is Bryce, you’re male, so you may be more or less comfortable and the patient may be male or female. So how tall are you? Have you had any surgeries? Have you had any auto accidents? Any traumatic injuries? Have you ever been molested or abused or raped? All the same sentence.

Dr. McMakin:
So you can ask that as you are comfortable asking if the patient has had a history of that kind of trauma, especially in early childhood in general. They tend to be centrally sensitized just because the midbrain, the limbic system has had so much trauma to deal with and there’s a pretty good chance that their pain or whatever’s going on with them is more bothersome. Right. So you have one person that comes in. It’s pretty stoic about everything, right? Yeah, my low back hurts. Whatever. And then there’s another patient that comes in. And just like my low back hurts, the world is coming to an end, right? So that patient is probably centrally sensitized. One of the ways to find out is to run is one of the ways to find out is to run 40/89 and see how they react if their pain goes up. They’re not sensitized if they get all calm and floating. They’re sensitized. Dna flexibility is the key to stability. Amen. Blessed are the flexible for they will not be bent out of shape. And resilience is when you address uncertainty with flexibility. Boy, is that the truth. I’m going to see if I can keep those up on the screen so I can have those be the quote at the end of the day, because.

Kevin:
It is the end.

Dr. McMakin:
Is it 4:00?

Kevin:
Almost.

Dr. McMakin:
Almost. We got ten minutes left. Because every patient that comes in is going to have a different presentation. I’d love there to be a “Yeah, you just do this” for everybody. No, sorry. So, for example, somebody I saw yesterday, she had knee pain when I felt her knee, her hamstrings and quadriceps were really tight. And then I felt up her legs and her pectineus and her brevis were really tight. Her adductor brevis were really tight and tender. Hamstrings quadriceps low back. And then I asked her to remind me about your accident history. Oh, I got in a head on collision two years ago. Drunk driver crossed the median and hit me doing about 30 miles an hour. Okay. Now, she didn’t have an MRI. I was not originally treating her for nerve pain. We were mostly just going to talk. But then she said before she left, she said, Oh yeah, by the way, my knees hurt. I said, Lay down on the table. We’ve got a few minutes. And for her, the solution to her knee pain was related to her neck. It was 81/10, increased descending inhibition. And she said, How is it that my knee pain is coming from my neck? And it’s. Do you feel this muscle? Yeah, that shouldn’t be that tight. Really? And then feel these muscles. Oh, that’s where my knee hurts. Your knee hurts because your hamstrings are really tight trying to pull your knee into flexion and then your quadriceps have to.

Dr. McMakin:
Work really hard to keep your legs straight. And that squishes your knee and grinds on the cartilage of the meniscus. So that’s why your knee hurts. So we’re going to treat you from your neck to your feet. You’re not going to treat my knee. I could, but there’s no point. The knee is not the problem. The problem is the disc bulge that’s in your neck. I have a disc bulge, and I said, you’re going to have to come back because we already treated what you came in for. And then we treated your knee. And then we need an MRI of your neck to find out what’s going on with that disc.

Dr. McMakin:
So that’s the flexibility part of this. They all walk in with something different, and it’s not always what you thought it was.

Dr. McMakin:
If you will go to frequencyspecific.com/webinars and look at the vagus nerve webinar, it’ll be on there. And that has the best explanation of central sensitization that I think I’ve ever done. Because it talks about the response to stress and somebody that’s simply sensitized and what effect that has on the whole system.

Dr. McMakin:
Ooh, has polio. Oh prolo, sorry. So the question is how soon after Prolo therapy can I use 40? About six weeks. It would be really nice after prolo to run increased secretions in the fascia, increase secretions in the connective tissue, vitality in whatever tissue you want the prolo to positively affect. So increase or vitality in the cartilage maybe?

Dr. McMakin:
Main issue is your sleep has been declining, but not because of the prolo but before that. Grade one Spondee. Not a big deal. L5 rotates on S1. Somebody has to look at your psoas. Ligamentous laxity and love sacrum. Treating with FSM. 124, various tissue is 81/10. Highly active life with the ups and downs physically with my activity. Oh, my goodness. Lack of sleep is problematic. And you’re 72. Good luck. Oh, you can use concussion and Vagus after prolo. That’s not a problem. The biggest challenge at 72 is your body doesn’t see any reason that you should make melatonin. It just declines. So I take exogenous melatonin. FSM can’t do anything, everything. Can do a lot of things, but it can’t do everything. So take extra melatonin. And I changed time zones twice a month. So I take drugs. But that’s another conversation. Chronic inflammatory. No, it won’t be a problem. Concussion and Vagus and sleep are just fine after Prolo and I would do just vitality in the tissue that you want to do.

Dr. McMakin:
Do you wear an Oura rign on your thumb? No, he doesn’t have an Oura ring.

Kevin:
Just a regular ring.

Dr. McMakin:
I have one on my finger. You should get one. I’ll get you one for Christmas.

Kevin:
Eventually, I will get one.

Dr. McMakin:
I’ll get you one for Christmas. It’ll be fun. when is your birthday? Uh, it’s okay. I’ll have to look it up.

Kevin:
I’m not getting any older. No, My next one is 50. So is it skipping that one?

Dr. McMakin:
Oh, no. That’s just when it gets fun. What is your approach to TMJ? It’s really interesting. My approach to TMJ has been modified by. One experience. And that’s. The only thing way I treat it now. I had been for years treating the joint, treating the muscle, treating all that stuff. Then I went to work in a dentist’s office for the day because he was letting us use his amphitheater. He had a classroom set up in his clinic in Colorado, in Denver. And I was working on a TMJ patient where the pterygoids were so tight they were popping every time she opened her mouth. They would click and pop so the pterygoids attach to the disc and it’s supposed to pull the disc out of the way, but then it has to relax and let the disc slide back. It doesn’t relax and I did treated the muscle, treated the joint, treated the disc. Nothing changed. And then I noticed these two thick white bands right at her canines. And I said to the dentist, who was on the pantograph, I said, What are those thick white things? And he said, Oh, that’s where her headgear attached.

Dr. McMakin:
Then I asked her, When did you start having TMJ? After my braces. Okay, now you know that when. You have a partial thickness tear on the rotator cuff. You’re going to get trigger points in all the muscles. There’s one of the slides in the Core that talks about that. Okay. So I have a partial thickness tear, at least a trigger point. So what if you had a tendinopathy or a ligament injury here that caused the pterygoid tendons to be injured.

Dr. McMakin:
So I ran 124 and 100 and 112. So torn and broken in the ligaments for the little tooth ligament and 124/77 for the flat pterygoid tendon that attaches to that disc. And inside of 20 minutes. So we just put the contacts one on each cheek. And as she treated. The popping stopped. Eventually, at about 45 minutes, the pain was gone. And every TMJ I’ve treated since then, that’s all I do. Kim has a lot more complicated approach because she went and took a class that talked about how complex the TMJ joint is. There’s adipose, there’s blood supply, there’s cartilage, there’s all sorts of things back there. And. You could treat.

Dr. McMakin:
Scarring and you could treat inflammation and it would be just treat torn and broken and ligaments. And as soon as the pterygoids relax, things tend to settle down. So you can use either approach. It’s in the Core seminar under TMJ. That’s why the Core seminar is five days. There’s so much in it. So if you have all of you’ve taken the Core seminar, go back and review it. We can. I don’t know if we charge for the slides, I just make the stuff and then those guys do the marketing part, but go through and just thumb through the slides. There’s 1076 at this point and just flip through the slides because even I don’t remember all of them anymore. I highly recommend it. Alf. I’m glad you had a good time. Anybody else? Let’s see.
