A general medical practitioner in Australia shares insights from his years as a doctor and discusses the unconventional foundation of his patients’ treatment plans: the MORA (Mandibular Orthopedic Repositioning Appliance).
The device, designed to reposition the jaw to achieve neuromuscular balance and optimal temporomandibular joint function, can also be used to balance out acupuncture meridians and detox the body, according to author Zenon W. Gruba. Gruba describes how MORA targets the causes of illness and corrects abnormalities from infection, poisoning, petro-carbon pollution and biocide chemical exposure, noting his firm belief in the value of investigating causes rather than simply finding cures.
Gruba admits his methods are controversial among traditional medical practitioners, making his career rocky at times. He admits to arrogance and references having unnamed “enemies,” being investigated five times by a medical board aiming to shut him down, and other obstacles. Yet he says he often was the only doctor his patients trusted. Some 91% of his patients achieved complete remission of their illnesses, he states.
Gruba’s narrative roams through personal history, philosophical advice and practice anecdotes. Health dangers mentioned focus on microplastics, radioisotope diagnostic therapies, food additives, refined carbohydrates, unsafe water and more.
The author also delves into medical theories that readers might want to fact-check. For example, he recommends throwing away microwaves and minimizing cell phone use, even though cell phone radiation exposure hasn’t been found to increase neurological or cancer incidence (although studies continue). He believes ultrasounds in pregnancy create ADHD.
The MORA discussions, highly technical and complicated, can be hard to follow. When the author shifts to non-MORA interventions, he provides easier-to-understand information, such as lists of supplements and their use and interesting tips, such as chewing seeds thoroughly, because humans don’t have the specialized bacteria to break them down.
Frequent typos and incomplete sentences undermine the narrative. Still, Gruba’s love for and desire to help his patients shines through in this discussion of his unorthodox medical approach.
