Medical Science Will Have Opened Up For Mark Breiner

Mark Breiner is a doctor of western style dentistry who also has a whole body health practice

. In this he is part of an important trend in western medicine that seems to have evolved to a point where it acknowledges ancient wisdom that was practiced in the East when westerners were more inclined to rely on witches and weirdos. It is quite wonderful to witness how online communication and globalization are playing themselves out even in arcane fields such as medicine.

Before the advent of the Internet dentists were widely expected to remove tartar, fill cavities and extract rotten teeth. Belief in the Tooth Fairy was based on long standing myths that teeth would either stay in place or come out, and that there would be some compensation when they came out.

It may also have been better access to information that made dentists and their patients more knowledgeable about new branches. Sleep apnea has suddenly a problem that almost everyone has and dentists have studied ways to overcome or at least treat this serious illness. It has also become public knowledge that stress becomes manifest in gingivitis and other periodontal diseases.

In the past forty years China has been gradually opening up to the West. Kipling's old saying that 'East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet' is fading fast in the light of globalization. Only one of many effects is the discovery by some westerners of ancient practices that have been around in the East for centuries.

A patient who enters the clinic of a western style doctor will be asked to sit down and explain his symptoms before he is asked to open his mouth and say 'aah'. An acupuncturist will typically ask his patient to open his mouth right away. A quick glance at his tongue and the acupuncturist will know where to stick his needles. From looking at the tongue he can surmise which organ is sickly and needs a bit of invigoration.

In the academic and intellectual worlds great faith in science was evident during the twentieth century. Political theories were based on the belief that science would solve economic and political problems. Academics in many fields rushed to convert their disciplines into sciences. Even religion was not immune to the need to validate things scientifically.

Perhaps this was due in part to the great advances made by western medicine. Humility may be a consequence of realizing that illness will never be entirely defeated by piecemeal treatments that cure one complaint only for another to spring up like a wildfire somewhere else in the body.

Unanswered questions and unsolved problems breed humble attitudes and inquiring minds. Dr Mark Breiner has written a book on the connection between dentistry and whole body health. An inquiring mind can subscribe to get nearer to answering questions such as whether it is the chicken or the egg that comes first. Ailments may start in the internal organs and reveal themselves in the mouth or start in the mouth and proceed to organs such as the kidneys. Interaction with the good doctor might help a person understand.
