You have two TMJs—one in front of each ear connected to the horseshoe-shaped jawbone that has your lower teeth in it. A TMJ problem used to mean that a patient was headed for numer- ous conflicting professional opinions and treatment plans. The controversy over treating TMJ dis- orders was evident at a workshop of the American Dental Association in late 1989. A lawsuit had been filed to stop eleven experts from discussing the treatment and ‘diagnosis of TMJ disorders, but it was not successful, and 700 dentists signed up for this workshop that had originally been. scheduled for a 225-person auditorium. The main source of conflict over TMJ disorders in the dental profession is the role of bad bite. A large segment of the dental profession believes that bad bites cause TMJ disorders, and therefore the treatment is bite correction at prices that can range from a few thousand dollars up to US$15,000 or US$20,000 if every tooth has to be capped. However, the accumulated scientific evi- dence favours a more conservative and cost-efficient therapy that includes a soft diet, use of heat and ice, medications, stress management and splint therapy. The author feels that patient education is necessary for TMJ disorders. So he has put down all the information about the diagnosis, causes and treatment for TMJ disorders in a concise, simple presentation i.e., in a way that patients can understand! approach, beautifully organised and con- cise, updated annually and well-refer- enced. For those HIV-infected individuals who want to explore treatment methods for AIDS other than AZT, I would recom- mend the information contained in this book." —Alan Cantwell, Jr, MD "[ have read your AIDS Control Diet with great interest. The book is a verita- ble gold-mine of information about the management of HIV/AIDS Syndrome. There is a awful amount of serious misin- formation floating around. The HIV/AIDS patient, in his desperate state, not infrequently latches on to serious mis- information. This infrequently hastens his demise. The AIDS Control Diet has per- formed a monumental public service by a winnowing process, whereby the kernels of truth are separated from the chaff and garbage floating around." —Robert. S.
