1:55 Worth reading: The Jaw Epidemic: Recognition, Origins, Cures, and Prevention

10:07 Weaning is more critical than breastfeeding

11:00 Spoon feeding babies should end

11:38 No mush for babies until they’re over 18 months old

11:48 A 6 month old baby can eat solid food and not choke because of the larynx’s position

12:06 At 18 months, babies can choke because the larynx drops

12:29 Good development in babies that weren’t breastfed is possible

13:12 Babies should eat solid food before mush is introduced

13:21 The first 1000 days are critical to the whole life”

13:56 Can babies who are raised correctly develop incorrectly?

14:44 What we think is perfect for babies’ development may not be perfect

15:13 Sandra’s parents had perfect jaws

15:35 Sandra’s daughter had a tongue between teeth posture – development appeared good but she ended up needing surgery. Her son had an open mouth from day 1 but didn’t need surgery.

16:13 Transdisciplinary work

16:29 ENTs often think everything’s perfect when things are bad

16:48 Snoring Workshop in Mexico with Wilfried Engelke, Jesús Rangel, and 2 more and got extraordinary results

21:46 Sandra’s favorite practitioner treats 2 year olds – by 3 they’re perfect

27:03 Some babies need their teeth filed down so that they can comfortably chew

28:37 What caused Sandra’s daughter to develop a tongue between teeth posture?

29:32 American parents don’t want us to grind baby teeth

32:45 The mechanical stimulus of breastfeeding is more important than the chemical composition of milk

35:24 A spoon in baby’s mouth makes it impossible for the tongue to function normally

38:29 We’ve created vacuum activators

43:19 ENTs don’t know about the mouth and orthodontists don’t know about anything other than the teeth

46:03 Sandra’s a big fan of MMA surgery, but not MSE because some of her patients have bad experiences

48:13 John Mew’s Biobloc Stage 1 appliance works very well with adults, but without opening the suture

50:58 Ron asks Sandra Kahn about MSE

52:41 You can’t do expansion and MMA in 1 surgery

58:26 Biobloc Stage 1, redesigned by Simon Wong for the mandible, should get the Nobel Prize

1:06:18 Sandra’s Forwardontics Bow Face Mask

1:08:42 The Bow needs FDA approval – who wants to invest $100k?

1:10:17 Ron recommends only 2 face masks: the Crane (no longer being made) and Sandra’s Bow

1:16:08 Sandra’s seeing great results in endurance athletes who use her Uplocker

1:17:09 Medicine only looks at the unhealthy; we need to look at the healthiest people
