Dr. Jack Kruse: "I think before I would let anybody do anything on me, that includes a machine, a device in the mouth, any type of surgery around the oral cavity for sleep apnea, you have a duty as the patient to understand that anything they do is just like a surgery and it can lead to irreversible changes.
"So what am I saying to you very clearly as a dentist? Just the act of putting a retainer on the teeth, or palate expansion, or a plastic retainer, is no different than when a surgeon goes in and does surgery, say for orthognathics, or say a UPPP. And that's not how people look at it. When I say this and people think this is hyperbolic, then I immediately turn around and say, 'OK, how come when Medicare pays for people with central sleep apnea who have apnea machines, they get cancer more frequently? Explain.' No one can. Everybody knows that the link is there. It's in the literature. But no one can explain.
"It turns out sleep apnea is the body trying to protect itself from unabated ROS. Why? Unabated ROS leads to cancer. What abates the ROS or the RNS signal? Melanin.
"So look at every person with sleep apnea. You know what you're going to find? Everybody knows the link to obesity. Well what have I already told you what the link to obesity was? No fucking melanin in the leptin-melanocortin pathway. So it would stand to reason that sleep apnea is exactly the same thing. It's just that the melanin loss is in a different part of the hypothalamus and the neural tracts. Most of that melanin loss, as I wrote in the Patreon series, is right at the DLF, which is the dorsal longitudinal fasciculus. That's almost always where they have it. The thing is when you try to blow open with positive pressure, which is what CPAP is, you allow more oxygen in. What does more oxygen mean to a bad mitochondria? You make more ROS. And then you have no way to buffer it. It's not rocket science, dude. It's common sense."
Doug Sandquist: "It is. And that's actually what I found. I have a few patients who we've expanded them and there's been no change in their apnea. There's been no change and actually they can breathe, but we're just throwing in more oxygen into the system, which is exactly. . ."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "You need to actually, if you're a good doctor, good dentist, you need to tell those people you might want to go get term life insurance before you go any further. I'm being dead serious when I say this. I'm not being hyperbolic. Obviously that's going to cause you a problem. But you need to tell them because your apnea has not gotten better, you probably should not use any machines or devices or do anything. Leave your body alone and let it self-correct.
"The real issue with those people, and you'll be surprised to hear this, the single most important thing for those type of patients, like what I would do if they contacted me, I'd make sure that their trigeminal system, they always had melanin, they always were constantly in the sun. I'd actually want them, even to the point, I don't advocate people getting sunburned, but I don't think sunburns are toxic like centralized medicine does. [...]"
