Clinical Case 15

I Accompanied This Person
Their testimony may seem long but I left it in its entirety because it is precise and highlights the unsaid, buried deep within us, which transforms into traumas and 'unsaid pains'.

SITUATION BEFORE Wearing THE ACTIVATOR
I have suffered from digestive problems and chronic fatigue since childhood. Also noteworthy is a very sensitive condition that may not be unrelated to these problems, which have intensified over time, particularly following three significant episodes:
1/ 1983: Appendicitis

2/ 2002: Recurrent Dental Infection (triggered, it seems, by a broken dental instrument that remained stuck in a root canal; the break was eventually not removed, leading to the extraction of the tooth after a year).

• In between, the use of several antibiotic treatments led to chronic intestinal candidiasis along with various intolerances (gluten, lactose, sugars, meat, etc.), the beginning of osteoporosis, demineralization, and a weight loss of 12 kg in a few months, etc...

• This situation led to a physical exhaustion such that, by force of circumstances, after a three-month sick leave, I gradually lost my footing professionally. I no longer had the energy necessary to assume the responsibilities that were incumbent upon me.
  I have since been learning the "placardization" of fact, which is particularly painful given that I had previously had a successful professional life;

• At the end of a three-month sick leave, a Social Security physician, during a control visit in 2004, even opposed my return to full-time work, demanding that I provide the contact details of my occupational health physician so that she could declare me in a therapeutic half-time period for six months. ( ! )
  This was based on the fact that, according to her, I was not taking enough "care of myself" (sic).
  "Madam, your health is at stake, you are too thin, you work too much" "I am getting tired of the Marketing department, they are full of overworked people who do not even realize it" etc.
  It was the world turned upside down. How to describe my shock upon leaving this unusual meeting and my anxiety for the future on the professional front (I sensed that this decision would make me lose the direction of my department) ?
  Let alone the surprise of the occupational health physician when he recounted his telephone conversation with Social Security. Social Security had not particularly accustomed him to this type of orientation;

• Docile and especially determined to recover quickly, I eventually accepted the hypothesis of an unconscious depression and even took the antidepressants and anxiolytics prescribed to me. After a month, I decided to stop everything due to tachycardia episodes that occurred simultaneously with the intake of these medications. And I was not convinced of the usefulness of antidepressants in my case.

3/ January 2010: New Dental Problem via the deposition of an old amalgam from 1970. My dentist had also diagnosed a malocclusion linked to the absence of the left upper molar (extracted in 2003 for the reasons mentioned above). It was therefore also, according to her, "to correct the malocclusion" by filling the absence of this molar with a pivot tooth.
I did not follow this recommendation as my health had deteriorated further.

• Following the removal of the amalgam, I indeed suffered for two months from severe mouth burns (gums, lips, and tongue), very painful cramps in the abdomen, and exhausting insomnia due to these pains and burns.
  An analysis of urine revealed abnormal levels of mercury, arsenic, and nickel; this new dental episode was followed by a further deterioration of my general state with the following symptoms: strong tachycardia (particularly after meals), cramps and bloating almost constantly, the appearance of an acoustic echo in the left ear, very low blood pressure, deterioration of my sleep with repeated insomnia... I was even more disoriented because it was in a structurally good quality sleep that I had found since childhood the foundation of my physical and nervous balance.

- Note that the multiple examinations, X-rays, ultrasounds, etc., carried out between 2002 and March 2010 yielded nothing. Only blood tests since 2003 indicate a low level of white blood cells (immune defenses) and a very pronounced demineralization;

To conclude:

The diagnosis of "men and women of Art," whether it be from my treating physician and the various practitioners encountered over the years, was always more or less the same: exhaustion and professional overwork, depression "hidden" ..

• On my part, I did not feel particularly "depressed" or particularly "overworked." Discouraged, yes, certainly; and often, but for short periods. Depressed, no, really I do not believe it; maybe it is because I love life, even if my body is exhausted.
  And then, despite all these health setbacks and digestive storms, I had maintained (except during crisis periods) a good appetite. This is not a characteristic sign of depression.

• The advice I received most often:
  "Change your life" , or also "Do psychotherapy" .

• All these health upheavals were a beautiful opportunity to experiment with different solutions of natural and gentle medicine that were foreign to me (naturopathy, homeopathy, derivat baths, organic food, etc. ).
  However, their benefits (for some that they were) were always limited, especially in the long term.

• On the other hand, these trials have certainly been a chance or, to say it better, a grace, on a more fundamental level of inner development.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH DENTOSOPHY (7 months)

In this context and state of mind, I discovered Mr. Montaud's book one afternoon in April 2010.
After reading the book for the first time, I had the intuition of a straightforward and audacious approach in its simplicity.

• On April 15, I sent an email to Mr. Montaud to explain my situation. Upon receiving his response, I called his office and made an appointment.

• On May 19, I met Mr. Montaud. In between, I had reread his book twice; -- on June 16, at the end of our second meeting, I left with the activator that I experimented with that evening upon arriving in Paris.

The first thing I noticed was an unexpected and spectacular improvement in the quality of my sleep. This improvement occurred almost immediately, within a few days. I regained the deep and dense sleep I had when I was young. I had forgotten that one could sleep so well; since June 16, I have only had one night of insomnia; abdominal pains no longer caused a lack of sleep.
In case of pain, I noticed that by chewing the activator as calmly as possible, I could fall back to sleep. Given the importance of sleep in my overall balance, it is a progress and a well-being that I enjoy every day.

The second point noticed was a noticeable improvement in heart rhythm. I have fewer tachycardia episodes, even after meals.

The third thing is that I feel less fatigued, more resistant. Indeed, since mid-November, digestive disorders seem to be gradually spacing out; I allowed myself a few small dietary lapses at Christmas, which were generally well tolerated; I also have less bloating and abdominal pain; I also noted that I no longer have bad breath in the morning.

• Note an amusing episode: after an accident in the kitchen in November, I followed a 10-day antibiotic treatment without any digestive disorder.

I wear this activator regularly and without difficulty every night for about 8 hours. I lost it only a couple of times in seven months while sleeping. During the day, I wear it for about 2 hours passively, and also actively during two sessions a day, each lasting half an hour, which I feel are very beneficial.

• With these improvements in my general state, my mood is obviously better.
• I also feel more regular, more constant in any effort, more serene, more in the present, while I was constantly buried in the past; maybe less emotional too;
• I also notice progress in music (singing and piano), particularly in rhythm where I have always had enormous problems.

Here is the assessment of this first phase at the end of seven months. The achievements confirm my perseverance; all the more so that they arrive at a crucial moment where I wish to give a new meaning to my life

Subject / Experience Report Concerning the Use of the Activator / 2nd phase

Evolution of the general context:

I finally found the courage to begin a reconciliation process with my eldest daughter.
The last few weeks have therefore been marked by major digestive disorders resulting from the internal upheavals I am currently experiencing.
On the way, I became aware that there was an essential prerequisite: namely, to reconcile with myself. I realized that to regain my place with my daughter, and by extension within and outside the family, it was necessary to accept for the first time in over forty years:

• to return to my past, which was one of its consequences,
• to reflect on the facts and their sequence,
• and to analyze them as rationally as possible.
  In the face-to-face, I tried to put aside, for the time being, the sufferings and fears, a devouring guilt, and a powerful feeling of inferiority on the emotional front since the age of 16.

Health-related results:
No progress on this side due to the context.
Despite strong digestive disturbances recurring over several weeks (concurrent with my decision to take action), I only suffered from two nights of insomnia and managed to sleep the rest of the time. This is crucial for my balance. The quality of sleep is much less good than during the first period, but I understand the reasons and take things calmly.
To sum up, I would say that the achievements (sleep and energy) of the first period are generally preserved and "resist" as well as possible to the pressure of events.

Psychological results:
Significant progress during this period. This is where the support of the activator is the most evident. It is almost the mirror image of the first period. More accentuated and this time in favor of the psychological part.
Curiously, everything seems to be happening as if things were pacifying more quickly on the moral and psychological front, and the body was lagging behind.
Unexpectedly, I lived the writing of this letter differently from what I had imagined. I kept the activator in my mouth constantly during these moments, which greatly helped me to calm down and concentrate.
As soon as I started writing, an immense relief began to envelop me. And when I finally posted this letter yesterday, I felt an ineffable sense of lightness and freedom towards myself and the rest of the world. Nothing more. No pride or particular joy, just as if things were in order simply. In Italy, to say everything is fine, they say beautifully "tutto a posto" which literally means "everything is in its place"..
Whatever my daughter's reaction and the decision she takes, I know that in a certain way, I have already found my place. At least in my own eyes, which is not so bad. I await the next steps with confidence;

Regular use of the activator:
DAY: As I told you during our last meeting in May, I have been very inconsistent in my practice of the activator during the day in relaxation mode. I am trying to do it at least once a day. On the other hand, I wear it two good hours a day passively , that is, while doing various domestic tasks or playing the piano. (See also the writing of the letter.)
NIGHT: On the other hand, I wear it every night without exception. It is simply indispensable to me;

Conclusion at the end of this second phase of 6 months

The writing of this letter and the work on myself that preceded it are the highlight of this phase. It exhausted me physically but everything happened in conditions that were paradoxically exemplary given the subject.

Subject / Experience Report Concerning the Use of the Activator / 3rd phase

Hello Mr.,
Please excuse the delay in sending this third phase; the events I am going through at the moment are in keeping with the metamorphosis I have been experiencing on all levels without exception since June 2010.

1/ State of the context:
It is not a revolution (for it is true that I have no intention of returning to my starting point!) but a deep transformation that impacts my existence on all levels. A total repositioning of my relationships, both family and professional, the two being the direct consequence of an internal repositioning;
It is therefore a period of intense effervescence: first a constant internal struggle with old parasitic emotional reflexes that are reluctant to give up the fight; and also the path of perseverance to regain a rightful place within my family after so many years of painful and silent abdication; I feel like I am living the experience of a soldier who was missing for many years and whose mere existence is upsetting the new order established in his absence;
In conclusion at this stage: the external context compared to the last phase of June is more radical and aggravated. If we stick to the visible order of things, all the initiatives taken have been repeatedly unsuccessful. They were all inspired by a deep desire for harmony and love.
What is striking is the discrepancy with the progress felt internally at the same time.
Eighteen months ago, that is, before wearing the activator, I would have lived these failures as many wounds that would have annihilated me;
I am living these apparent failures paradoxically with a kind of serene peace and consider them as a temporary illusion.
The essential is that I am finally out of a state of painful passivity that lasted forty years; it is wonderful to feel the growing strength to act; and to do so with as much emotional discernment as possible; I am advancing now, even if in small steps and day by day, with confidence. I am increasingly less and less returning to the past and remain flexibly open to positive developments to come;

2/ Health situation:
Significant progress compared to the June phase. Good things have been consolidated:
1/ Sleep deep and peaceful has become the norm. This is a benefit that I appreciate and savor almost daily with gratitude. To note the manifestation of dreams that have multiplied over several weeks and are the perfect (dreamed!) illustration of the family harmony to which I aspire ... It is very curious, because the feeling in these dreams is of such intense radiance that I feel the benefits prolonged well after my awakening. And yet, I live a reality that is at odds with these dreams.

2/ Digestion: much better in all respects; less spasms, less cramps, more and more spaced-out crisis; almost disappearance of headaches (which were always linked to intestinal disorders). Declared very intolerant to gluten, lactose, and sugar after medical examinations in 2003, I am now eating pasta and a little bread (with joy!). The intolerance to gluten is in the process of resolving. Only sugar and dairy products still resist.
I have not yet regained all the weight I am missing, but I am very confident for the future.

3/ Energy, dynamism: everything is going better and better; without comparison with "before". I am much less and less often fatigued.

4/ Mood, optimism: without comparison with "before". For the simple reason that I have the conviction of advancing, regardless of the result and in spite of obstacles.
These benefits (sleep, digestion; energy) make me emotionally more resilient and solid;

5/ Use of the activator: I wear the activator every night without exception; I am much more regular with the daytime use over the past few months; at two to three times a day (duration: half an hour per session) .
I recognize that it is extremely regenerative. I manage (at least it seems to me) to achieve a "letting go" quickly (5-10 min) and a deep relaxation while remaining conscious. After the sessions, I feel recentered and peaceful, which encourages me to a persistent perseverance. In general, I do a bit of music (piano or singing) after these relaxation sessions;
I have noted with experience that it is at the exhale that the jaw clenching on the activator is most effective in terms of deep relaxation. Moreover, the more the jaw clenching on the activator is light and subtle, the more the breathing becomes peaceful, the heartbeat regular, and the deep relaxation;

To conclude, I am experiencing daily the deep intimacy that links the body to the mind.
Here is the state of the "construction site" to this day.
