Cranial Restructuring / The Great Work down for maintenance
« on: May 19, 2018, 01:22:37 pm »
Website is down for upgrades
Apologies, we didn't intend for it to go offline, but now it's going to be down for a while.
Estimated 24 more hours, we're working all day on this but we have to wait for two different companies to separately fix what they broke in our DNS and SSL lookups.
The website should be faster when everything comes back up though.

 Something with SQL tables went completely sideways when the website performed an automatic update. The bad news is that for almost two weeks nobody could post - and we had multiple new users sign ups during this time as well. Hopefully we didn't just lose them. I was away from my home desktop which had the logins and tools for database maintenance. Frustrated and a bit embarrassed, I had to just watch as the forum sat empty for 2 weeks until I could reach home.

The good news is that I've hired someone to handle the technical aspect of the website for me. From now on someone who will be checking the website twice daily and performing the maintenance updates and fixing the issues that happen with each update. This should never happen again, and I apologise for how long it took to fix.

Cranial Restructuring / NEW FORUM
« on: August 26, 2017, 12:59:17 pm »
http://the-great-work.org/community/

I have found many separate communities online on all sorts of websites, and have been frustrated to see we are dealing with dead communities/blogs/videos from over five years ago. BreakTheMatrix is no longer under any ownership or moderation, and unfortunately many times people drop off the radar and offer no more updates.

I am making an attempt to pull people from all of the the places on the internet discussing the topics at hand and bring them onto a central forum. I am also making attempts to bring professional chiros, ABC practitioners, dentists, orthos and so forth into the discussion. A main hurdle seems to be that they want to see that there is an ongoing civil discussion before they put their name near any website, so hopefully we can accomplish this.

There are about 13 pages worth of threads here that I will be archiving as best as I can so that we can transition as much of this information over to the new forum as possible. I am working on creating a full article on the website so that new users have a launching point to begin understanding.

If you use the same username here that you use on the new website, I'll leave names on posts before I transfer them over. Otherwise the posts will be transitioned anonymously.

Thank you, I hope we can continue the discussion there and that this community mixes well with the new users that I am attempting to bring in from other places on the internet/real life.

Kindest Regards,

TGW

Cranial Restructuring / Sutures of the palate
« on: August 01, 2017, 12:17:42 pm »
We know growth can occur at sutures with pressure applied over time. We know that sutures do not solidify until very late in life, and sometimes never at all. Here is an image of the sutures on your palate (the jagged lines).



Unsurprisingly, the palate expanders used everywhere have their expansion screws along one or more of these sutures. Now we average folk can see where the actual expansion is happening and by what function.

#7, the mid maxillary suture, can be expanded by about 1mm a week. We do not know the proper rates of expansion for the others yet, it may differ

I've forgotten the name of the user, but the whole thread and all the posts are gone. Did something happen, is the user still around?

Cranial Restructuring / Any experiences with the ALF appliance?
« on: July 12, 2017, 02:02:00 pm »
It seems to fit perfectly into the collective philosophy we all have about getting expansion and forward growth - it just mimicks proper tongue posture 24/7 and tries to do it in such a way that the patient can heal themselves by releasing the cranial bones allowing growth at the sutures (according to their official website and multiple dentists online). Combined with NCR this seems like the magic bullet to have the face grow how it was supposed to. I'm trying not to get over exited but I'm pretty exited

I've got an appointment tomorrow to ask about it, I'm still very weary about trusting dentists but since I have had extractions it seems that this may be helpful: My tongue doesn't maintain pressure at night because of palate size, so my results are super slow. Having the appliance up there 24/7 pushing out and forward gently should help.

I'll let you guys know what happens. But does anyone have experience with the appliance, or opinions? I've searched the forum and seen positive reviews.

I have been using the pressure of my tongue for about a year, I can push with sufficient pressure to actually feel it in my cheekbones. When pushing my tongue outward at both sides, the teeth begin to hurt in the same way that I am told braces do, indicating sufficient force. The right side of my maxilla is lower than the left (also evidenced by the right eye being lower), and when I mew hard I feel it entirely on the right side including under the eye and near the hairline - meaning the tongue pressure IS being transferred through the skull

I do believe I am getting results, but they are slow, and I think this is a result of the facial bones resisting movement against other bones (I can feel tension along the sutures around the face and cheekbones when I push hard all day).

Thus, I will be going in for NCR which should remove this roadblock and allow the upward and forward movement of the maxilla which I seek, and well as rotation to fix the assymmetry

I feel that my tongue is producing great force, but as with all things that take time I am beseiged with doubt. Is the tongue enough to produce results, or does one need to facepull/use a palate expander. What are your opinions? As anyone seen results with mewing and NCR together?

I have an underbite as well, so my tongue is balled up and able to apply even more force than if I had an overbite or normal alignment

If I have progress, this forum will hear about it
