Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark on Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Pain
On causes and remedies
While there are other causes for TMJ issues such as ill-fitting crowns, inlays and similar dental restorations (compare How drilling and filling can damage your teeth: badly adjusted fillings-and ill-fitting crowns) as well as clenching and grinding (compare Bruxism) or even injuries such as a blow to the head, here are Dr. Hulda Clark's observations and suggested remedies regarding temporal mandibular joint pain. As is typical for Dr. Clark's approach, the measures she suggests consist in detoxification and nutritional fortification of the body.
Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Problems
(excerpted from Dr. Hulda Clark's The Cure For All Diseases)
Pain at the angle of your jaw is not due to a poorly fitting joint. It fits perfectly but the muscles nearby are pulling it out of joint with their frequent spasms. There is always a hidden tooth infection present. Ask the dentist to search for hidden tooth infections and to clean your cavitations (you will need to find an alternative dentist1, and read Dental Cleanup). Begin immediately to heal these bone lesions with vitamin D (40,000 to 50,000 units once a day for 3 weeks2, followed by 2 such doses per week forever), milk-consumption for calcium3, and a magnesium oxide tablet.
Kill pinworms with a zapper4 or frequency generator in yourself and family members twice a week and keep everyone's fingernails short for extra hygiene in the family for a month to prevent reinfection. Pinworms can cause tooth grinding5 and contribute to TMJ dysfunction. For extra muscle relaxation, take two magnesium tablets at bedtime and valerian capsules.
