I’m a huge fan of Canadian psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson, who I discovered after stumbling across his psychology lectures on his YouTube channel. I particularly enjoyed his series of talks on The Psychological Significance of The Bible Stories, which helped put my childhood religious indoctrination into perspective for me.
But it was something he said in a recent interview that really got my attention.

Well the months are flying by at a glacial speed, so here’s another update. This month’s CPAP pressure trend continues to show a very slight downwards slope. I’m heading in the right direction and things seem to be on track.

I’ve been wearing my Vivos mRNA Appliance for eight months now. The CPAP pressure trend continued to decline very gradually this month, suggesting that expansion is slowly improving my airway. I feel less sleepy during the day, particularly in the afternoons, but this is still probably mostly due to adapting to CPAP therapy at this point.

Ever since I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and learned how devastating interrupted sleep can be to our health, I (and this blog) have focussed on treating it, as I believe it’s the root cause of my chronic fatigue symptoms. While I am making steady progress with my Vivos mRNA appliance, the truth is that it’s a slow process and I’m yet to reap the full rewards. I still have mild flu-like symptoms which flare up when I’m stressed or don’t get a great night’s sleep; which is more common than I would like given that I need to sleep with a CPAP machine and mask strapped to my face every night.

You know the drill by now; it’s been seven months since I started wearing my Vivos mRNA Appliance in the hope of curing my severe obstructive sleep apnea, so it’s time for another regular monthly update.

It’s been six months since I started wearing my Vivos mRNA Appliance, so it’s time for another update. The summary is that there doesn’t seem to be any impact on my CPAP pressure yet but my AHI is steadily dropping. I feel a bit less fatigued and don’t often feel sleepy during the day now, but I wouldn’t say I feel great yet. This treatment takes a long time.

I recently borrowed and read my DNA Appliance provider’s copy of Epigenetic Orthodontics in Adults… and kind of wish I hadn’t. I think I understand now why Dr Singh hasn’t made it more widely available: In short, the book is poorly written, and having been published in 2008 is already quite outdated.

OK folks here it is… my long-await five month Vivos mRNA Appliance update. (more…)
For some insane reason, only two Australian DNA Appliance providers are listed in Vivos’s provider locator; and they’re both in Sydney. This leads a lot of people in other states of Australia to contact me in despair because they think they can’t get treatment; yet there are other providers out there so here’s a list of all the ones I’ve heard of. I’ll also include Homeoblock providers because the appliances are so similar. (more…)
Time for another monthly update. As usual, my compliance is excellent thanks to my appliance usage tracking spreadsheet. My provider says I’m “super-compliant”, and here’s the graph to prove it: (more…)
