TMJ 'dysfunction' - Health implications

This article caught my attention on the internet:

The CDC reports an outbreak of Extensively Drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa eye infections. They have associated the occurrence with 'Artificial Tears'

"As of March 14, 2023, CDC, in partnership with state and local health departments, identified 68 patients in 16 states, with a rare strain of extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thirty-seven patients were linked to four healthcare facility clusters. Three people have died and there have been 8 reports of vision loss and 4 reports of enucleation (surgical removal of the eyeball).

Dates of specimen collection were from May 2022 to February 2023. Isolates have been identified from clinical cultures of sputum or bronchial wash (15), cornea (17), urine (10), other non-sterile sources (4), and blood (2), and from rectal swabs (26) collected for surveillance; some patients had specimens collected from more than one anatomic site."

Based on my observations, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is frequently found in the mouths of many patients due to the overuse of toothpaste and mouthwash. While some toothpastes are less harmful, others can be highly detrimental, eliminating crucial commensal bacteria. This disruption allows a slimy biofilm, composed of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus Aureus, to form. You can detect its presence in your own mouth by examining it in the mirror, where you'll notice slimy streaks, or by feeling the consistency of your saliva, which will be slimy rather than watery.

A foul odour and easily bleeding gums are prevalent among these patients. This bacterial concoction leads to severe gingival pocketing, a condition thoroughly documented on my website and discussed in my February 2009 article on salt usage. Back then, I lacked the resources to identify the specific bacteria responsible.

Beyond damaging the gums that support the teeth, these bacteria lead to serious nasopharyngeal infections through the Eustachian tube, persistent sore throats, and infections in the parotid and other salivary glands. Consequently, many patients suffer the loss of multiple teeth. In my observation, dental lesions are particularly severe in the upper left buccal segments, where most right-handed individuals tend to initially apply toothpaste.

An article on my website posted on the 1st of May 2020 about Covid-19 says:
"The development of Staphylococcus Aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa dominant biofilm infection PREVENTS ANY HEALING OF THE THROAT, if a new viral infection manifests itself it is an open door for the virus to take hold".

How does this align with the occurrence of eye infections?

The researchers consider the acute eye issue as the primary origin, and the presence of resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in other parts of the body to be the secondary effects. My hypothesis is that the primary infection site is the mouth, where resistant organisms can easily develop. From there, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can spread to one's own eyes through touching, through coughing to others' eyes, potentially causing severe consequences as documented by the CDC.

I hope this insight encourages researchers to revisit their future study candidates. Ideally, they should examine the saliva of patients with periodontal issues, as the researchers might detect these resistant organisms long before they affect the eyes.

To improve periodontal health and prevent severe infections, patients should use salt water with a toothbrush, interdental brushes, and an oral irrigator. Try this for a few weeks; you can always revert to toothpaste if you fail to notice a significant difference.

Challenging the existing standards in dental and medical care comes with significant costs. Through my website and this forum, I have highlighted practices that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, contribute to ongoing illness. This disruption is not welcomed by the authorities overseeing our healthcare system. To continue publishing evidence-based articles, sharing discoveries from my own patients' experiences that have led to their recoveries through a unique approach, and educating thousands of health professionals and patients globally, we require some support.
