Testimony from November 27, 2007

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

Dear Michel Montaud,

I have just finished your book, which I read with pleasure.

I have understood that the 1st § of p126 is fundamental.

The cover is perfect, the paper quality is comfortable, especially for me who has trouble turning the pages, the photos are clear and very explicit. Congratulations also to Yves Michel. Your book is easy to read, the French is very good (p41 at the top is a bit poorly worded and Page 193, 1st paragraph, the French is strange.) The spelling is perfect.

Yes, clearly, your book is that of a human being, a testimony, the sharing of an experience, a gesture of communication, a gesture of sympathy, love towards unknowns, the readers. Human also by its composition, free from university constraints. The presentation by Y. Parès interested me a lot, even though it is outside the direct scope of the subject: the teeth.

I read your book like a detective novel: I was not looking for the murderer, but the "resuscitator." So I was eager to read the end! I would have really liked a more precise description of the activator than the one on p31. Of course, there is a photo, but the reader does not know if it is custom-made, the price, if it needs to be renewed, the exact composition, if it is the dentist who provides it...

On the other hand, the good news is that there is something very simple, non-invasive to harmonize one's mouth and teeth with consequences on posture.

It is wonderful to think that all physical problems can be solved simply (I am not talking about accidents). Just as there are plants, there are simple methods of care. The whole is to find them. The simpler it is, the less it interests the consumption society, but the simpler it is, the more it interests me.

You talk about a person who has almost no teeth and uses them, which is very interesting because a real therapeutic method cannot content itself with easy clients!

I love Einstein's quote on p15 infinitely. I practice these little ecstasies at various levels. For example, when I look for an object or a paper, I know that the moment I am going to find the thing, I am going to receive an energy of this type, and I try to be fully conscious of it to savor it.

You often talk about consciousness and the unconscious, that both levels are to be valued, and I found it very interesting. There is a current trend to value consciousness, but wearing the device at night to touch the unconscious seems hyper interesting, fundamental.

On p185, your reflection on therapist and personal illness has greatly interested me. This subject is rarely discussed, yet it is strong at the unconscious level for the therapist and also for the patient. When I was in the hospital (in 2001) when a caregiver was congested, I had a mixed feeling: "…he is weak, he suffers, so he is a bad caregiver, a good human!"

Page 192 "It is for this reason that…": Dr Georges Pourtalet says that overactivity comes from unconscious appendicitis pain. This pain has to do with postural asymmetry, which in turn has to do with dental imbalance.

Your book exposes, in the form of an autobiographical journey without compromise by a dentist, a method that seems simple, profound, and shocking from every point of view!
