How i got my wiggle back - part II

[Gabes-Apg]

How i got my wiggle back - part II - i have almost finished this book.

after Anthony spent 6 -7 months focusing on chiro based toxic inflammation removal, posture, walking, exercises to strengthen his body, wearing the right shoes, etc etc the last stage of getting his wiggle back was..... digestion and eating via Dr Gringeri
Anthony had spent many flights between Australian and the USA 'stuck' in the aeroplane toilet due to D.

reading these chapters was like listening to Tex and other MC wise ones in this group. There was nothing new, or any major revelations, no fad diets, or guaranteed eating plans that would work ie paleo or BRAT or anything else

it was as simple as ;
- we are all different
- inflammation is a toxin
- long term inflammation causes damage all over the body, every cell, every organ
- unhealthy toxic digestion systems are the starting point
- the toxic digestion causes immune reactions auto immune conditions are linked to toxic inflammation

how to solve it
- keep a journal and track all your reactions including day to day events physical activity, events that cause stress and cause a reaction
- figure out what foods work for you and what foods dont
- figure out the best time to exercise, or what times to that suit you (as much as possible)
- it takes time to remove the toxicity, remove the inflammation, let the gut heal and get healthy digestion working

meal times
- chew your food
- smaller food particles are easier to process and they will be coated with aliva which starts digestion
- eat organic food as often as possible
- avoid eating white flour and white sugar and refined foods - white flour and white gugar have a druglike effect on the body's digestive process
- your body needs fat - take a fatty acid supplement

Since i wrote the first post about the book, both the treating doctors mentioned in the book have joined this forum. I think we can feel enthused that there are some medical professionals that 'get it' about dodgy digestion, inflammation, the damage it does and how it can take over your whole body. Dr Gringeri who is chiropractic neurology is also a certified digestive specialist, He helps people with all sorts of conditions - the commonality is the symptoms (fatigue, foggy brain, poor digestion, incontinence, joint aches), are all caused by inflammation and toxicity.

IMO the reality is that, while ever there is no 'magic potion' to treat this, it will not get mainstream medical acknowledgement, (because? - big pharma cant make a buck from it)

The great thing about this book is that you don't have to see these doctors to achieve the same result. Tthere are diagrams, pictures about treatment, exercises, shoes, walking all sorts of things that can help you get your wiggle back! (On amazon $16 new $9 used)
All the success stories and good advice of this forum will help you with your digestion, it doesn't take a heap of money or a doctor who is based 1000 miles away.
For those having a hard time explaining things or gaining support from family, work colleagues etc - give them or loan them this book. it will explain alot, a celebrity who has endured the same thing will maybe give what you are going through some creditability, and some support as you embrace your MC Management plan

I have been seeing a chiropractor (kinesiology based) for a couple of months, i am getting core strength back, good posture again, a return of energy and focus. 6 months ago i was reliant on taking H1 and H2 blockers every day. I havent taken any at all for 3 weeks or more. (the money i used to spend on H1 H2 blockers pays about 30% of the cost of the treatments)

Along with this i have been doing kinesiology sessions to clean out my mind (and soul) our body is totally connected, what we think, what we feel, what we believe, what we doubt, scars of the past, all impact on our health, wellbeing, focus.
it hasnt been easy, both treatments involve the removal of alot of toxins (which means lots of weeing and pooping) i have had nights after the treatments where i do about 10 BM's, or had killer headaches but within 24-36 hrs post the treatment this stops and i feel great.
i had to give up trips to see friends, doing photography, to spend saturdays at the house while the toxins are expelled, as it was quite tiring. (thank goodness i have quite a few books in my to be read queue)
We are only about a quarter of the way through the process, considering i had inflamed digestion for most of my life, birth defects to my bowel, fixing 40 years of toxic inflammation was never going to easy, so i am chuffed with the progress to date.

I acknowledge that I am lucky, living alone with no immediate family it has been easy for me to spend my time and money doing this, focussing on me, eating what and when suits me best.
I have mentioned before that prior to Dx and after Dx i was seeing an acupuncturist and most of my treatments were, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system (so it had less reactions) supporting the digestion organs (liver spleen) that were under stress from the leaky gut - i think these treatments with my low inflammation eating plan were a huge part of my MC in remission success in under 2 years.
Just because the MC was in remission doesn't mean it is all sunshine and lollypops! (or I will start eating gluten and dairy again) The years of inflammation has left its toxins everywhere, thyroid, adrenals, dental and while i am treating those issues, the removal of the toxins is reliant on my digestion so i am nurturing my digestion so it can handle what we are doing.

Listen to you body, it may be like learning a new language some days......... not only can you get your life back, it can have a happy dance wiggle to it!!

Hi Gabes,

I kindled the Wiggle book after your last report and kind of skimmed it until 3:00 am one night. His section of spending an entire flight in an airplane bathroom was kind of memorable and I believe it was a long flight from US to Australia as well his first date with his now wife....they went out to dinner and again he spent a memorable amount of time in the restroom. It is amazing to have this kind of disease and have the work/travel loads of a professional entertainer. Brandy

[MBombardier]

I think we can feel enthused that there are some medical professionals that 'get it' about dodgy digestion, inflammation, the damage it does and how it can take over your whole body.

Amen to that, Gabes. So... how does one know whether inflammation is a problem, or rather how does one measure it? I will probably have to read the book...

[Gabes-Apg]

Brandy
reading the book was like looking in a mirror!

Marliss
there are lots of signs of inflammation - and toxic inflammation

joint aches
foggy brain
muscle aches
spinal and posture issues
poor digestion (gas, bloating)
GERD
ongoing health issues
thyroid issues
diabetes
heart problems
histamine reactions
mast cells reactions
headaches
autoimmune conditions

You name it!!

in the book Dr Stoxen talks about inflammation(toxicity) being the cause of heart disease. Dr Gringeri links diabetes to it. Not being able to digest proteins properly (due to inflammation) exacerbates parkinsons.


the book really highlighted that it doesnt matter if you are diagnosed with crohns, UC, IBS, MC, chronic fatigue, diabetes, hormonal issues
inflammation is toxic, the symptoms are the same, the cause is the same, and the process to wellness is not out of reach, it just takes patience, diligence, deterimination amongst many things namely, you gotta want it enough to do what it takes

[tex]

But Gabes,

All those health issues that you listed are the bread and butter of mainstream physicians. If everyone learns to prevent or control those problems by diet changes and other natural means, most medical professionals will soon be on welfare, which will just compound the financial crises that most of the developed countries are already facing. Obviously, neither the medical profession, nor the governments can afford to allow that to happen.

I reckon that explains why dietary treatments are so slow to catch on in the medical world.

Hi Gabes, what a wonderful post and a great success story. I have been keeping up to date on your first post in this series and am impressed at the research, treatments and commitment you have had to this process. As always great research and progress, thanks for sharing. Just like how you showed the benefits of accupuncture and BIA, you continue to lead the way in showing us how these various treatments canbe used to "get our lives back"

Thanks!!

Thanks again for sharing this, what a wonderful story and an incredible personal commitment of your own to finding wellness.

Now for the real And frightening question, how are we going to deal with all the physicians who realize that pills are not needed for good health

[Lesley]

Gabes, great post. I am so glad you are getting better! Amazing progress girl. I am so impressed by your dedication and spirit, and the wonderful posts.

[marihabs]

Thanks so much for posting all this Gabes. I find it all so fascinating, and I too am impressed with all you do to achieve health. it's a bit overwhelming too...being at the start of all this... to see all the vast changes I will have to make in my life. thank you for the encouragement to keep going.

Hi Marliss

If you would like a more accurate way to assess your levels of inflammation you can get blood tests for it.

C-reactive Protein
Arachidonic/Eicosapentanoic Acid Ratio
Interleukin-6 • Interleukin-10
Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha

If you would like to learn about Inflammation read Video Tutorial #37 Aches, Pains, Allergies, Fatigue, Brain Fog, Diseases of Aging Have One Common Thread… INFLAMMATION here

http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/03/15/v ... lammation/

Here is a sample of what is in this article.....

The scientific community has found a connection between high chronic levels of Inflammation to the diseases of aging like heart disease and other diseases….
My first exposure to the connection between inflammation and diseases was in the paradise island of Bali Indonesia in 2005.

No, I did not get inflamed skin from sun burn laying at the beach. I wish! It was in a lecture hall at a medical conference.

While lecturing in Indonesia in 2005, I attended a lecture given by Dr. Bill Anton who discussed the connection between chronic inflammation and the diseases of aging such as heart disease. It was that experience that inspired me to write this book because I had an “A-ha!” moment:

Chronic Inflammation comes from:

-Your Diet – The food you eat. (even if it’s natural or unprocessed)
-What you breath in. (pollution, sprays, allergens, ect.)
-What you touch
-Injuries
-Abnormal Walking Patterns (even if you are not in frank pain)

This was a presentation given to medical physicians, backed by research studies and position statements by the American Heart Association.
AHA/CDC Scientific Statement

American Heart Association
Links Between Inflammation and Cancer
Links Between Inflammation and Nervous System Disorders Like Parkinsons
Links Between Inflammation and Depression

After that lecture I realized how much more I was doing for my patients besides helping them reduce their pain and improve their function. If what we do is reduce bodily inflammation then are we helping them reduce the risk of the diseases of aging?
I immediately flew back to Chicago and began doing extensive research on how diet affects the levels of inflammation in the body.
In 2006, my abstracts on diets and their effect on levels inflammation were accepted for presentation at medical conferences in Madrid Spain and Hong Zhou, China.

[Gabes-Apg]

Dr James (i hope it is ok to call you that)

i started looking at the link you posted

i giggled at this statement

and doctors why this has not been exposed to the public more and a few told me it wasn’t a sexy subject. It was a boring story.

that maybe so, from my point of view money is not spent on studies, and wide stream articles published because big pharma (and govt medical systems) cant make money from people eating healthy.!! organic farmers are the only ones that benefit.. the govts dont get much moula from organic farmers profits..

sorry for my ?cynacism ?sarcasm -its not aimed at you directly.

Based on the actual events of members of this forum, when the body is in chronic symptom mode with multiple health issues, it takes months and years to get well, the current attitudes and policies of the insurance providers (governed by big pharma and govts) do not support that length of time needed for this approach to treatments to let their bodies heal and be healthy

Anthony Field was a multi millioniare when he found you and Dr Gringeri - he could afford the best treatments, he could afford to take time off work to focus on his health. what about the millions of others out there that have the bandaid diganosis's of IBS, Chronic Fatigue and RA.

i thought this statement quite funny

In 2006, my abstracts on diets and their effect on levels inflammation were accepted for presentation at medical conferences in Madrid Spain and Hong Zhou, China.

None of the countries reliant on big pharma profits for health care have participated......
again my comments are not aimed at you, just venting my frustration at the health systems we are imprisioned by...

[DrJamesStoxenDC]

Dear Gabes et all

that maybe so, from my point of view money is not spent on studies, and wide stream articles published because big pharma (and govt medical systems) cant make money from people eating healthy.!! organic farmers are the only ones that benefit.. the govts dont get much moula from organic farmers profits..

I agree with you that big agribusiness has taken over most of the farming and production of food in the United States. Unfortunately that leaves a lot of us without access to organic foods. However, if you are aware that organic foods are healthier than you should be able to find organic foods and that should solve your problem. The only unfortunate issue is that others have not found out what you have.

Regarding inflammation, the majority of the information I needed to do those lectures were found in the pub med scientific research studies databank. You can do searches in pub med from your computer very easily with the keywords such as inflammation, depression, chronic pain, fibromyalgia or what any key word you wish. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

Certainly, it’s easier to get scientific studies done when there is a possible drug to, but, however the information that’s gleaned from these scientific studies can help you to find the healthy path in your life. I just did a lecture in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia a month ago about inflammation and its connection to depression and found plenty of information about scientific studies that proved that the drugs that were used for inflammation were not necessarily the best route for treating depression but in fact anything that helped you to reduce inflammation. http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/05/09/p ... -7-9-2012/

The only reason why I did my lectures in China and Spain on Inflammation and Diet was not because Big Pharma or the medical profession would not allow me to speak on this. In fact I have lectured all over the world and have friends that lecture at medical conferences on dietary inflammation and how this inflammation leads to depression and diseases of aging. If you would like to hear 90 speakers who are a little more "ALTERNATIVE" than others then pay $20 a day to go the Health Freedom Expo next week as there will be 15o exhibitors there too. Here is the information on that: http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/05/05/d ... e-17-2012/

The problem is that very few doctors in the world really attack inflammation as aggressively as I do with the pain exorcism type treatments that Anthony talked about in the book. Enacted to find many doctors park over you for 10 to 15 hours a day for a couple of days to treat you from toe to head hands-on releasing every single painful spasm from the frame so that the human spring can move the way it’s designed to move. Here is a radio interview on BFM Radio from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia where Im interviewed on the Pain Exorcism http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/05/29/r ... y-25-2012/ CNN may be doing an interview on this round the clock treatment which you can do on yourself if you really want to get out of pain. If you want to get better you have to treat yourself No doctors that I know will spend this much time with you but does that mean you suffer. NO

You do have the book now and you can follow what I recommended the book. Also you can treat yourself with the self-help treatments tips. All you have to do is give your foot and in the rest of your body for that matter and treat your body from 1 through seven. In fact my blog has over 250 articles on how to treat yourself with video tutorials that explain the exact approach on how to release spasms from the feet ankles knees hips back all the way through to the head.

It also goes over Foot LOCK. How your body can lock up when you stand too long or are not active enough to maintain a spring suspension system muscle strength to hold up your weight. What happens when it locks, what causes it as well as how to unlock it with about 15 to 20 different hands-on treatment approaches that you can follow in the video tutorials. So to sit down with your computer and watch these video tutorials and start working on yourself. The more time you spend on yourself the better you’re going to feel and the quicker your going to get out of your chronic pain and suffering. Honestly there’s no excuse just got to do it

If you don’t want to do it or can’t do it because you don’t have hands, then you can have your husband do it or a massage therapist or a massage therapist student or you can fly to Chicago stay for a week in a cheap hotel or with a friend and I will do it for you. If you don’t have money needed to my patients. They have insurance some of them and some of them pay out of pocket but the majority of them, my patience are not wealthy 90% of them are poor or middle class and 50% voting to speak English. So this treatment is available to anyone if you want bad enough.

Here are the posts that I feel you should look at to start:

When you stand on your feet too long, when your weight is more than your spring suspension system can handle and when you wear shoes that do not maintain your heel in the safe range between supination to pronation (rolling from the outside to the inside) your suspension system will not allow your body to spring off the ground offering the maximum protection from impacts and the maximum recycling of energy in the step but rather bang into the ground then twist off the ground. When you ache all over you need to be released from this locking of the mechanism because it causes stress and strain that leads to wear and tear that causes inflammation and pain.

Also when you have a preload on your spring mechanism if you lift something or have impact there is no room in your spring for the force to go so it jams your joints leading to meniscus tears, ligament tears, grinding of joints, herniated discs etc. That same preload lockdown maintains the compressive forces so you cannot get out of pain and heal.

What is required is to work for hours to release these spasms from toe to head. I did work for 15 hours on Anthony in 24 hours which is true that he had 90% pain relieve that did not return yet for 9 years but that just meant that I crammed 15 standard one hour treatments in 2 days. If you treat yourself for 2 hours for 2 weeks straight by making an appointment with YOURSELF on the couch giving your foot a hand you can get results better than doctors that do 10 minutes or an electric stim and a hot pack! No excuse I have 15 different FREE video tutorials on how to treat yourself on my blog. Go to it

Video Tutorial # 159 – Foot Lock! What You Get From Standing Too Long And How To Prevent It
http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/03/31/v ... revent-it/

The muscles that suspend your human spring mechanism from the floor to your head can at least detonating or in a sustained contraction for more than a few minutes. So if you work as a bank teller, on your feet for too long as a nurse or don’t wear the right shoes when you’re walking around for longer periods of time then you your body aerobically can handle then your muscles will fatigue the suspension system won’t drop and lock. It can lock so bad that it feels like 80 piece of frozen state that you just took out of the refrigerator when I’m treating these patients. So if you think that it’s going to unlock by itself your grossly mistaken.

Next time you have a child or your grandchild or your children wheeled her foot around at the mid-arch and see how flexible and springy this here it then wiggle your foot and see how flexible and springing it is and you’ll notice the difference right away. This locking or stiffness causes a bang in a twist of your joints. You need to work on this for hours and hours and hours could be more flexible.

The next biggest mistake people make is that they think that they can stand on their feet for a long period of time with the workout shoe. I am a sports doctor and would like to wear running shoes or some sort of workout shoe with a warm-up suit with Team Doctors Logo on the back but I know that that is a big mistake.

What you have to understand is that the foot is a foundation that rolls from the inside to the outside called supination to pronation to be able to accept the load of the impact. If it rolls too far one way or the other then you have a twisting of your limbs that will cause a stress and strain that leads to wear and tear inflammation and pain. I am a barefoot runner and run 5 to 6 miles every other day their foot on solid concrete at age 50. http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/02/21/w ... stoxen-dc/

So I have very strong feet that are flexible and capable of springing this hundred and 180 pound man off of solid concrete without any problem. However, I would never be able to do that if I didn’t wear shoes with extended medial color support to maintain my foot in the safe range between super nation and pronation while working on my feet for 10 to 12 hours a day. Trying to do these things with out good counter support shoes is like trying to build a seven story building on the sand. Go to 100 architects and asked him to build you a seven-story building on the sand and they’ll tell you your crazy it’s completely impossible by the laws of nature, physics, engineering, gravity, the laws of the universe and common sense.

I tell patients that I am going to work 1-2 or 10 hours a day removing every spasm from their frame however they MUST have a shoe with a medical heel stabilizer to prevent from over rolling out of the safe range If they don't have the shoes after 3 visits they are no longer getting treated. Some think Im kidding and when they show up visit 4 with flimsy shoes I send them home. I am not going to do all this work and have them bang and twist the rest of the day after the RX for 1-2 hours bringing the problem back. NO WAY

Video Tutorial #97 On Your Feet All Day? Fatigued? Achy? Over Pronation? I Recommend Footwear with Extended Medial Counters
http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/05/11/v ... -shoe-why/

When the foot gets tired, it will roll one way or another out of the safe range. When it does then the medial heel stabilizer will catch it and hold it from rolling into a stressful position and we are good. Orthotics prevent the spring of the foot so we take those out. I work to restore the natural spring with the 10- 15 hours of spring release.

The majority of my patients are not rich and in fact make less than most in this forum. I am in the rough side of town and in fact they wanted to do a reality show called Doc Holly-Hood vs Hollywood. 50% of my patients don't speak english and work in factories. I do have several thousand in the performing arts arena etc . You may be able to save yourself a lot of anguish and money on long term care if you just come to chicago for a few weeks and nail this. Many do and are NOT rich and have jobs without much vacation

If not then treat yourself with the 15- 20 video tutorials and make your next pair of shoes one with a extended medial counter.

You will never hear me say 'good luck" or "it must be nice" Im a realist but believe that if you have a strong enough desire and stop making excuses you can make rapid changes in your health. Anthony got out of 90% of pain in 24 hours with the pain exorcism which was 15 hours of treatment but that is because he was only in Chicago 2 days and my daily fee for flying around with these entertainers is not cheap. So just do the mini-pain exorcism and treat yourself 1-2 hours a day for several weeks. Make an appointment with yourself every night when the kids go off to lala land and work the painful spots out of your body on your own. Dont rely on others to get you out of pain

If you would like to read my articles when they come out then register for the updates. We are sending out this post which talks about how to do the Foot Ankle test we talk about on page 123 of Anthonys book Here is the video tutorial about how to do that: http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2012/06/06/v ... stoxen-dc/ Do it yourself :-)

[Gabes-Apg]

Thanks James
i am chuffed at how willing you are to provide good quality information 'for free'

that is why i love the book as it does give good quality advice and treatment that people can do at home.
it doesnt even matter what you so called diagnosis is, your chiro work and a good eating plan will remove toxic inflammation

or you can fly to Chicago stay for a week in a cheap hotel or with a friend and I will do it for you.

trust me, if i had the $3k for the airfare, and the $500 hotel costs and enough paid leave to take time off work i would be on the first plane!
(5 years of symptoms, time off work quite a bit of it with no pay, dental work etc has not left much moula in my savings)
If i get the chance to come to the USA, chicago will be the first stop

I live alone and dont have family nearby so i am reliant on practitioners and therapists to do the treatments.
I am living barefoot at home and have changed my walking style to what is mentioned in the book, next thing i am saving for is the good shoes.
might take me a bit longer, but like the diet management for the MC, i am just as determined to get my wiggle back!

have a great week - thanks again for all the info and links,

Hi

You can try Dr John Petrozzi He is in Sydney and knows the protocol as he is Antonys chiropractor john@petrozziwellness.com.au,

thanks heaps for that Dr James

Sydney is alot more affordable, and i have quite a few free accommodation options via friends ( i used to live there)

i was living in Sydney when Anthony was in the band the cockroaches with his brothers....

[MBombardier]

Wow, this is great stuff! I am very much looking forward to spending time with these video tutorials, etc. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm for helping people to feel better and live better longer!

I had my c-reactive protein checked last Monday, and it was .7. I wanted to check it because my mother died of congestive heart failure and my brother was diagnosed with it 11 years ago at age 49. Obviously, this is not something that I want to happen to me. It looks like (from another thread) that gluten is implicated in heart issues, too, so I am delighted to learn about anything that can help me to be knowledgeable and proactive in my health, as stricken as I already am with a stable of autoimmune diseases.

Thanks again!
