"You have too much stress."
That's what my dentist said to me when I was being treated for my CMD problems. And my spontaneous answer was one that many people would probably give:
"Yes, what am I supposed to do - I have the stress."
But his next sentence stuck in my head. He just said calmly:
There are remedies that you only find out about much later than would actually have been good. That was the case for me with humic acids. In the early 2000s, I still had some amalgam fillings, which I had replaced with more modern fillings. Back in the 1980s, this was quite normal - you went to the dentist, got a silver seal and that was that. Nobody talked about heavy metals, mercury or detoxification. At least not in the dentist's surgery.
Professional dental cleanings are now considered a standard recommendation - it is often suggested that they should be carried out every 6 months or even every 3 months. Those who can afford it (or have good supplementary dental insurance) are often praised. But how useful is it really? The answer, as so often, is: it depends.
When you hear the word lithium, many people first think of modern rechargeable batteries, battery technology or - with a skeptical eye - psychotropic drugs. But lithium is actually much more than that: it is a naturally occurring trace element that has been present in our environment since time immemorial - in rocks, in water and also in small quantities in plant-based foods.
I am writing these lines from a vacation apartment in Pilsen, Czech Republic. It's a simple, clearly structured place. Kitchen, WLAN, a good table to work at. Everything I need - no more, no less. I'm not here because I'm on vacation. I'm also not here to follow a whim or start a new chapter. I'm here because I had to.
Hardly any other part of the body is as complex and at the same time as underestimated as the jaw. It is not only responsible for enabling us to chew, speak and swallow - it is also part of a finely tuned system of muscles, tendons, joints and nerves that affects the spine and even the feet. If this system is out of sync, it can have far-reaching consequences - for the entire musculoskeletal system, for the nerve pathways and ultimately for a person's well-being. In the medical world, this is referred to as a Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD).
I have been working intensively on the subject of hemorrhoids for more than ten years - unfortunately not out of theoretical interest, but from my own experience. During this time, I have already undergone two operations: a THD method (transanal haemorrhoid desarterialization) and a laser treatment. Both procedures helped temporarily, but the symptoms always returned over time.
Hemorrhoids are a taboo subject. Although millions of people are affected, they are rarely talked about openly. Many suffer in silence, putting off visits to the doctor and trying to get by with creams and home remedies. But it is precisely this silence that can inadvertently prolong the suffering.
With "The Unconventional Hemorrhoid Book - My way through hemorrhoid hell - and back" Markus Schall sends out a clear signal against this speechlessness - and shows new ways of better understanding, classifying and holistically alleviating complaints.
