Dispatch from the front lines

Dear Brother-
Another day of beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures here in Southern Arizona.
Tonight is just perfect, I can hear the train horn wail and coyotes howling and feel the cool breeze through the open windows.
I'm just so glad I don't live in one of those dangerous retirement communities.  Those people take a lot of drugs, and are stockpiling guns and praying for facists... it's terrifying.

I do hope you are taking vitamin D and cleaning your nose, winter is advancing and I remember how vexing it can be.

Be safe.  Be well.  Keep up the good fight.

And destroy any chance you have of affording the correct dental care.
At the exact time they and just about everyone in America needs a whole lot more of both of those.

The Grand Irony

Upper front teeth vs lower molar pathology.
One pinches the eyes, the other pulls down the jaw.
One makes you homicidal, the other suicidal.

And a shitload of people have both.

It all makes sense

If you understand that an inflamed infraorbital nerve combined with sleep deprivation predictably leads to berserker behavior.

An interesting thing about Apnea

You can't breathe.  You can't sleep.
And after a while you become so chronically rest and oxygen deprived that your brain stem goes into permanent panic mode.     Everything becomes frightening.  But the cerebral cortex shuts down so you can only obsess on and accomplish ONE thing.
You literally get a hyperactive one-track-mind.

This man became afraid of helpless Guatemalan women who are thousands of miles away...
But he was too debilitated to do anything constructive...
So he decided to shoot his neighbors.

It all makes sense if the frontal lobe isn't functioning.

Proud Boys member gets makeover for court appearance 

There's a reason they sport those giant neck beards-
To cover up their oropharygeal inflammation and mucous accumulation.
They think it's fat.
This is a nasal infection that drains down his throat.  Maybe some squishy lower molars.

Self Induced Berserker Syndrome

Um yeah.   People driving down the street knew the Van Guy was a dangerous obsessive maniac.

His teeth actually aren't that bad, but his skull is Mediterranean, not the pinched shape of a northern European.  He's got a bad bicuspid on the upper left that makes that side droop, but mostly he's a big bag of rage because of the long term steroid abuse.
I would guess he has an almost total insensitivity to pain.

The only mystery here is why he wasn't already fitted with a permanent ankle bracelet.

This.
This is what I have been waiting for since November 2016.
Not real thrilled to have been right.

As a murderino and armchair forensic dentist-
I'm gonna predict it's a white male racist/misogynist over 50 years old with medium bad upper teeth.
They can't be too bad...he has to have some cognitive function left just to wrap that many packages...

update:  more specifically, I expect this nerve to be tweaked.   Like this guy.

Reminiscing

This is my father.
He was a supersonic fighter jet pilot during the Cold War era.  You can't get much more manic and righteous and obsessive than that.

He destroyed his front teeth sucking on lemons as a teenager.
He had some "impulse control problems" that persuaded him to choose a military career over time in a Texas prison.  (Read hot-wiring the sheriff's car and taking his friends for a ride in it...)

Notably, he also experienced a rapid increase in nasal infections and dementia after having them capped late in life. 

Sex Education

Does Botox curb your sexual pleasure?

New research suggests women find it harder to orgasm after having botulinum treatment – but not everyone is convinced this means facial expressions are key to feeling pleasure.

Maybe facial nerves aren't necessary for sexual pleasure, but they are necessary for the peristalsis that occurs during orgasm.   The reflex involves the face because coordinating the sensory input and motor output between the cranial nerves and spinal nerves is what triggers the peristalsis sequence.   Peristalsis is the repetitive pattern of muscle contractions that release sperm from the testicles and also causes the internal directional motion of the vaginal canal during orgasm.  Your head and your body have to be synchronized because the same thing occurs in your face- your salivary glands and sinuses and tear ducts all drain too.  If you don't have the correct sensory function in those nerves, it derails the reflex.
 
Yeah, paralyzing facial nerves with endotoxin is a REALLY BAD IDEA.
You are destroying your face's ability to function properly-
Not to mention your migraine/wrinkle/anxiety/depression problems probably come from naturally occurring endotoxin already leaking in your mouth or nose!!

This research is notable because this means sexual dysfunction can probably also be caused by the common everyday facial nerve excitation and suppression due to infection and/or tooth crowding.
Something something headache, amirite?
And yet it suggests that orgasm would be a therapeutic treatment for facial and upper respiratory pathologies.  Heh.

Which reminds me of this legendary misdiagnosis...
Go figure.

I just saw this new ad for the army-

There are those who are compelled to act when others don't. 

Are you one of them?   Do you have what it takes?

This slick piece of video is directly aimed at young people with impulse control problems.

And suggests that what they need is very big guns. 

I think this is problematic.  Irresponsible.  Exploitative.  Dangerous.

It reminds me of what my father said after his military service.

"I wanted to do the right thing.  They made me into a killer."

If you have impulse control problems that make you think you can save the world- you should consider seeing a dentist.  

There's probably something wrong with your upper front teeth that is activating your trigeminal and vagus nerves and fight response.  (lower teeth tend to depress the nerves and cause the freezing response)

How I know-
I have both.   A bad upper canine on the left, and two crowned lower molars on the right.
I can't usually feel them, but I know which is problematic by whether I am homicidal or suicidal that day...

Can an Infection Hypothesis Explain the Beta Amyloid Hypothesis of Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most frequent type of dementia. The pathological hallmarks of the disease are extracellular senile plaques composed of beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of pTau. These findings led to the “beta-amyloid hypothesis” that proposes that Aβ is the major cause of AD. Clinical trials targeting Aβ in the brain have mostly failed. These failures suggest a need to find new hypotheses to explain AD pathogenesis and generate new targets for intervention to prevent and treat the disease. Many years ago, the “infection hypothesis” was proposed, but received little attention. However, the recent discovery that Aβ is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) acting against bacteria, fungi, and viruses gives increased credence to an infection hypothesis in the etiology of AD. We and others have shown that microbial infection increases the synthesis of this AMP. Here, we propose that the production of Aβ as an AMP will be beneficial on first microbial challenge but will become progressively detrimental as the infection becomes chronic and reactivates from time to time. Furthermore, we propose that host measures to remove excess Aβ decrease over time due to immune senescence and microbial biofilm formation. We propose that this biofilm aggregates with Aβ to form the plaques in the brain of AD patients. In this review, we will develop this connection between Infection – Aβ – AD and discuss future possible treatments based on this paradigm.

Lowest Common Denominator

What Donald Trump and Kanye West have in common:

Too much cosmetic dentistry.   It's as bad as having naturally rotten teeth. Tears up your mouth and leaves permanent damage.

Shaving off the tops or fronts of your teeth is pretty bad for them.  It's like cutting open a bone.  There are live parts in there that are exposed.   And the outer portion is porous like a bone.   Covering over the the channels with cement and ceramics impedes their flow of nutrients and disposal of waste products.  They can never heal.
They look pretty, but they are dying inside. 
And affecting all the cranial nerves and the entire immune system while they're at it.

I would bet both those guys would test positive on a beta-amyloid test.
Veneers and implants should come with a black box warning:  May poison your brain.

This and That

Kanye West destroyed his teeth with outrageous cosmetic dentistry.
I'd bet the white ones are veneers.  The implants are now making him insane.

Probiotic bacillus eliminates staphylococcus bacteria

A new study shows that a 'good' bacterium commonly found in probiotic digestive supplements helps eliminate Staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacteria that can cause serious antibiotic-resistant infections. The researchers unexpectedly found that Bacillus bacteria prevented S. aureus bacteria from growing in the gut and nose of healthy individuals.

Cold severity linked to bacteria living in your nose
The bacteria in study participants' noses fell into six different patterns of nasal microbiomes. The different patterns were associated with differences in symptom severity. The compositions also were found to correlate with viral load -- the amount of cold virus inside the body.

Forget the Blood of Teens. This Pill Promises to Extend Life for a Nickel a Pop

The drug in question, metformin, costs about five cents a pill. It’s a slightly modified version of a compound that was discovered in a plant, Galega officinalis. The plant, also known as French lilac and goat’s rue, is hardly the stuff of cutting-edge science. Physicians have been prescribing it as an herbal remedy for centuries. In 1640, the great English herbalist John Parkinson wrote about goat’s rue in his life’s work, Theatrum Botanicum, recommending it for “the bitings or stings of any venomous creature,” “the plague,” “measells,” “small pocks,” and “wormes in children,” among other conditions.
According to some sources, goat’s rue was also a centuries-old remedy for frequent urination, now known to be a telltale sign of diabetes. Today, metformin, which helps keep blood sugar levels in check without serious side effects, is typically the first-choice treatment for type 2 diabetics, and it’s sometimes prescribed for prediabetes as well. Together, the two conditions afflict half of American adults. 

I agree with this guy.
It probably affects the chronic underlying glucose imbalance and immune response caused by "civilized" grain based diets.
If only CVS charged a nickle for it...  that's the cost, not the price.

There is absolutely no corporate incentive to cure chronic disease.
Suffering is profitable.   For some people.

My Two Cents

This picture is going around the interwebs today.

He clearly had his parotid salivary gland removed. (near the upper molars).  He also has no upper teeth and a full denture plate.  Guessing the lower teeth were natural but rotten, because his chin hadn't receded.
McCain had a similar thing on his other side. Salivary gland infection accelerated his cancer.
Pretty sure the long chronic infections that preceded Fred's salivary and oral surgeries are what caused his Alzheimer's.
Beta amyloid production in the brain is increased when you have a bacterial infection.  After a while your brain just clogs up from the excess.

Oh, by the way his son has the same problem.    (another related post)

Good Question

Matthew Dowd- Here is one thing I don’t understand: why is the MAGA crowd always in a perpetual state of anger even after they win. Trump gets elected, they stayed angry. They hold all levers of power in DC, still angry. They win tax vote, still angry. They win Kavanaugh, still angry.

Hmmmm... just spitballing here...maybe it's not politics at all, maybe it's the constant screeching headaches and systemic inflammation caused by all the rotting teeth in their heads...

This is Why

Because as a narcoleptic, men always found it pretty easy to knock me out with alcohol and pizza-and assault me.

At a party in high school, I once woke up in a different house with one of the rich boys on top of me.
Later on, another guy put hickeys and bites all over my ass cheeks while I was sleeping.
In college, I once woke up vomiting because one of my "friend's" penis was in my mouth.   
Apparently they all felt I deserved it.

Still, I consider myself lucky, because I never fell asleep driving and killed someone while undiagnosed.
That's a narcoleptic's worst fate.
