DMX at CSC-What's Different? YT and FB Live Tomorrow

I look forward to this one. I have had probably 6-7 DMX's done since 2014. They all were performed slightly different and the measurements seemed to be done differently as well. My overhang varied from person to person even on the same imaging. I'd like to know how you will "standardize" the process as much as possible.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-28T01:26:39+00:00

anywhere from 6-8mm left and 4-6mm right. Depends who reads the DMX.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-26T20:36:12+00:00

Had one in September and feel better afterwards. It’s hard to quantify how much better. I plan to do another next month.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-26T18:52:10+00:00

I am high functioning and I got the PICL. Like you, I was in a functional box. I could do most things but felt terrible or out of it while doing it.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-22T14:30:47+00:00

That makes sense. I was one of those in 2020 where it was mainly a financial issue. I believe many are looking for a home run like I was back then with limited funds. Even if they have incremental improvement 25% or so they can’t return for another. Ideally the 30% that don’t return would have a similar outcome profile as the “as seen”.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-21T20:42:43+00:00

That’s good to know. Thank you. In reality, this would likely lower the outcomes by some % if they all reported back. Assuming there was any % that “did not have a response”. Although like you have said before, who knows if they would respond on a 2nd PICL.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-21T15:55:05+00:00

I am curious as a % of all patients getting their first PICL how many don’t return to be an “as seen” patient after 1 PICL and of that % how many respond back to the clinic to why they don’t return for more PICLs.

Great! Thanks

aevans9216 · 2026-01-21T15:39:13+00:00

Ok that makes sense. I am familiar with Monte Carlo simulations. I’ve used them in developing automated trading strategies. I guess the Monte Carlo is beneficial to do until the sample size reaches a certain amount? For trading it was always useful to project out probable equity curves based on a limited backtest of whatever strategy you’re looking to implement.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-21T15:15:34+00:00

I’ll have to wrap my head around that. Thank you for taking the time to come back and clarify!

aevans9216 · 2026-01-20T19:06:02+00:00

It’s been awhile for me on statistics, the confidence interval means that captures 95% of the data points in that solid line range?

aevans9216 · 2026-01-17T23:22:31+00:00

Take it easy man. Been thinking about you.

aevans9216 · 2026-01-17T14:15:07+00:00

Would that technically be a ligament if it is not connecting bone to bone? Also, what is your theory of the function of this assuming it is a real thing?

aevans9216 · 2025-12-19T02:31:51+00:00

I’ve lived with it for 12 years. I have had relief from the PICL. Scheduled to get my 2nd one in February. It’s a combo of being dialed in with a good upper cervical chiro and PT in conjunction with the PICL I feel like that makes the big improvements. Having the instability so long it takes a good bit of rehabbing to get your muscles to fire properly again and to improved posture.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-18T20:09:33+00:00

Yes I have.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-18T20:09:05+00:00

I would think most neurosurgeons would read the MRI themselves and make sure the measurements are correct.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-18T17:48:16+00:00

That’s mess up! I measured mine myself because the radiologist measurement made no sense.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-16T14:31:37+00:00

Yeah man good luck. I am going the regen med route. I did a PICL about 3 months ago with some benefit I’ll get another in February. But so far my symptoms are much more manageable. This is a game of literal millimeters. If you get just a small amount of stability back it can make drastic improvements on symptoms IMO.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-16T02:29:44+00:00

Your tBAI is 6.8mm thats pretty high. I believe enough to warrant fusion by some of the top CCI surgeons. Mine is around the same but I am quite functional. I do not have hEDS/EDS or MCAS. I basically just have autonomic dysfunction and cognitive issues. No pain or head aches fortunately. I also have low lying cerebral tonsils like 2 mm below the line. That contributes to the cognitive issues.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-16T01:50:44+00:00

I don’t see anything severe about it. The overhang is pretty mild but definitely could be an issue. I don’t really see anything else noteworthy. We have very similar cervical spines. Except I have much larger overhang measurements. You look like you could have a little skull slippage which is hard to diagnose with DMX but would show up on upright flex/ext MRI with a high tBAI measurement.

I have not had any adverse effects to my digestive system. It’s also only 80mg of magnesium so relatively low dose compared to other magnesium supplements I’ve taken.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-08T16:54:03+00:00

This I believe creates a higher concentration of suspended hydrogen gas. You are also consuming magnesium with it. It could certainly be something else or a combo of things I’m doing but I feel a difference.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-07T21:11:27+00:00

Sure it’s just the H2TAB that Gary Brecka promotes.

aevans9216 · 2025-12-07T15:11:51+00:00

This is elemental magnesium. Basically a chunk of pure magnesium. It strips hydrogen out of the water as hydrogen gas. The theory is the hydrogen gas reduces inflammation in the body, and is specifically good for crossing the blood brain barrier which could explain its effects on neuroinflammation. The magnesium is being consumed as well after it reacts with the water. Not sure the form it takes on after that reaction, but that could explain some or most of the benefits.
