This book is what helped me get rid of several problem areas in my body, including what was once diagnosed as " TMJ " . Note that I found the book at the library - so you might want to see if yours has it first so you can try it out before you buy. I found it able to get rid of several problems in several places in my body, all of which allopaths had either told me to " live with " or who'd given me horrid anti-inflamatory drugs that simply hurt one part of your body to " save " (bandaid) another. Even better, most things I got relief for in a few days. Some things took me as long as several weeks. Note this book is NOT about acupressure or the like - it's actually based medical research, but ignored by allopaths because it's something you can do for yourself (and don't have to pay them for). Here's an amazon link, just so you can see the book for yourself first: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1572243759/sr=8-1/qid=1143211782/ref=pd_bbs_1/1\ 02-2800835-8373761?%5Fencoding=UTF8 Good luck! And let me know if I can help with more info! Jent " The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 usualy joint pain and related subjects due to defficiency of magnesium & calcium in bones, so eating food rich with elements may elimorate the pain. hope to be well soon Collee Wright <colleepatton wrote: Today I was diagnosed with TMJ.
