Fibromyalgia Written Testimonials

Fibromyalgia for 30 years.
“I give up!” You are my last ever doctor.
These were my last words spoken to my doctor.
For nearly 30 years I practically lived at a doctor’s office of sorts in both Canada and Australia.
I’ve gone to specialists and pain clinics. I had been told this is just my life and I need to have back surgery and medications.
I’ve always refused surgery as many family members went through with back surgery and never improved enough for me to see the benefit of cutting me open. I did however go on their medications – lots of different ones as either they did nothing to ease my pain or the side effects were too much for me to bear.
The last ‘pain meds’ gave me anxiety and agoraphobia and suicidal depression for 12 years.
For the past 4 years I have lived with 9/10 pain level without any type of medication – not even Panadol as I have no faith in any pharmaceuticals.
I have a large box full of test results showing different areas (back, shoulder, knee etc.) progressively deteriorating. Much of my body that was not affected gradually increased drastically with pain.
I have seen untold specialists and physiotherapists, massage therapy of different types, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, Chinese doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors, reflexology. I have been desperate for any kind of relief.
Last year (2017) I was told I had fibromyalgia and again – “this is just my life. No doctor wants me as I refuse ‘treatment’ because I will not take their drugs. My latest doctor has asked me to see another doctor as he has tried everything he knows, and I won’t take the medications. I told him he was my very last doctor so I won’t be seeing anyone else. He instead sent me to a physician. What a waste of time. The physician wants to retest everything and send me to yet another pain clinic. I’m done!
I had never heard of Kinergetics but I thought I’d give it a last shot.
5 mins!
That’s all it took!!!!
5 mins!!
And I have a life again.
5 mins!!!
And I’m me again!
Pain became me and I became my pain. Everything in my life was around pain. Everyone who knew me always asked how my pain was. Now after five minutes I’m me! I didn’t remember life without pain or who I was without it.
BNT (Balancing Nutrition and Toxicity one-day workshop) with Philip gave me a life without pain. I can say that because it’s been two months virtually pain free! I’m enjoying walking, even running with my dogs, hiking with family, dancing, playing frisbee and my new found freedom. Sleep – sweet sleep!
It’s wonderful not waking up with the need to walk due to pain. I have been set free from a prison of pain.
I know now how to retain this new found freedom and I know what to do even with little pains when they come up.
Pain is no longer a factor. I’m free! I’m me! And I am delighted that Philip has found a true way in which lasting results are obtained. I have faith and great joy in Kinergetics.
I’m FREE! SL, March 2018.

Fibromyalgia, CFS and Lyme Disease
23 years ago I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, Chronic Fatigue and several of the Major Viruses that accompany Lyme (which I still test positive for to this day!).
This past year, my doctor also diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and pretty much said that there wasn’t anything he could do for the pain unless I wanted to try several drugs. Having been down that path for the past 23 years, I declined and have had to live with chronic conditions on a daily basis, struggling to make it through each day.
On July 25th, I was involved in an accident that resulted in a mild concussion and whiplash.
On August 12th, I attended Philip’s class on Balancing Nutrition and Toxicity. I was tired, I hurt from head to toe, had a migraine and it was all I could do to sit in the chair for the day trying to learn (which could describe every day for the last 23 years of my life).
One of his opening slides could have had my name at the top because it described me so perfectly. Since I was such a good “teaching” opportunity, Philip had the opportunity to do many tests and corrections.
By the end of class, I was able to get up out of my chair, walk across the room with no pain and visibly better colouring in my face. My headache was at a minimum and I had a new appreciation for alternative healing.
The body can do amazing things when it is given the optimal solutions to take care and heal itself. I have been a student of the alternative healing arts all of my life and Philip has designed some of the best healing corrections I have ever had the opportunity to use.
To this day, the pain of the Lyme and Fibromyalgia are minimal. They are only aggravated by hard seats and long sit times. The headaches are minimal and my brain injury is healing rapidly,
I believe, because of knowing the best way to ask the body what it needs to heal. I take Mag Phos and Zinc daily and have seen rapid improvements in many symptoms that I used to have. I have utilized the TMJ correction many times since class and have integrated it into my own private practice.

Fibromyalgia Fibcon Conference 2015 Chichester England
I attended the Fibromyalgia Conference 2015 in Chichester, United Kingdom on April 25 with Philip Rafferty, Founder of Kinergetics, RESET and BNT. I went along as a Kinergetics Practitioner to help out and to learn more from Philip.
Philip gave a talk to around 75 people, discussing the reasons why traumas cause the body to get out of sync, thus causing conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and arthritis to occur. He showed how the muscles of the TMJ (the Jaw) play a major role in the body’s inability to activate its own self-healing mechanism. He then demonstrated on a number of people how clearing the jaw can allow the energy of the body to optimise itself, thus allowing the system to come back into alignment so that the body can absorb vital nutrients and begin its journey back to health.
After the talk, both Philip and I worked on Fibromyalgia clients (at least 30). We asked each client what their pain levels were before and after treatment. Every client had significant reductions in their pain levels… Some went from 10/10 to zero.
Later, Philip gave another talk to explain the process further, and gave tips and exercises to help the clients to continue to improve their circumstances. The exercises also serve to empower each client as there is often a direct correlation between doing the specific exercises and the improvements experienced.

Fibromyalgia
I have had Fibromyalgia for 8 years, was diagnosed in 2011. It started with lower back pain which over the months and years spread to all my joints particularly the jaw, becoming permanent TMJ. This was my worst area of pain, rendering me incapacitated for months when it was bad, I sensed that this area was key in finding a way to get better along with the extreme pain and tension in my shoulder blade area.
Other symptoms were allergies, nerve pain, IBS, insomnia, dry eyes, noise and light sensitivity to the degree of being housebound and emotional instability. Having always been proactive in researching the condition and ways to either live with it or reduce pain I tried numerous things including acupuncture, massage, extreme diets and exercise, physiotherapy, pacing and even having some mercury fillings removed and botox in the jaw muscle.
I have been in constant pain on level 7 and upwards since 2007, persistent and chronic pain had massively impacted on my life.
This year I went to the Fibromyalgia conference, Fibcon 2015 – and a chance meeting with someone who had just been treated by Philip Rafferty, who said she was feeling fantastic. I found it incredulous and couldn’t really grasp what it was about, how it worked. I decided to investigate, Philip offered to treat me, he did not ask me for anything but to lie on the table for a few minutes, it would not cost me anything – money or energy. By start of the treatment my pain level was around 7 and I could not move my head much, my shoulders were raised and tight with tension, as usual my face was kind of screwed up from the pain that I had grown so used to. I would never have let someone touch my head, neck or jaw but somehow I found myself going along with it.
I had a 5 minute treatment and after that I remember Philip asking me about my pain level – and I could not give an answer straight away.
The pain had totally gone.
The emotional release of being absolutely pain free – that feeling I literally could not remember – completely overwhelmed me and I cried.
I was, even though another patient had told me she was feeling great, absolutely skeptical and I had no expectations. After the treatment someone walked past behind me and I turned my head right around as a natural reflex response – and I when I realized what I had done and that I did not feel any pain I was stunned.
What I felt was actually freedom.
I was very concerned how long this pain free state might last, but only the tension in my shoulders (that has probably been there for 6 years) came back after 30 min. But only to about a level 2 and I worked up the courage to ask Philip for another session. After that it was back down to 0. At that stage I was concerned that I would need sessions every day to keep the pain away, but Philip explained to me that I could do “top up treatments” but eventually I should get to a permanent state of being pain free.
In the two weeks since Fibcon my overall fibro pain condition has been low, I have had pain free periods with only the shoulder tension (that is coming from Mercury fillings) bothering me.
My sleep is also much improved and my face has relaxed from the screwed up way it used to be, I look fresh and well. After my experience at Fibcon and in spite of my ongoing dire financial situation as a result of my Fibromyalgia, I sought and travelled 100 miles and paid for top up treatment. This is how much I believe in it.
I now have a better attitude and hope of actually being able to do the things I want to do and achieve the things I dream about, which leads to an overall sense of wellbeing. Although I still don’t really understand how or why it works at the moment all I know is it does. I am so grateful and thankful that I came across Philip, it has changed my life. J.O. May 2015.

Spine trauma and herniated spinal disks since childhood (about 40 years).
Symptoms: Depression, Stabbing back pain especially under Right Scapula (felt like a stabbed knife at all times). Temporal-mandibular pain with teeth grinding and tooth decay. Muscular pain in my body, that increased when somebody touched and hugged me.
Living in constant pain no matter the daily use of pain medications, anti-inflammatory drugs and homeopathic. Frequent leg and hand muscles cramp, especially after exercise and home tasks performance.
Pain Levels before treatment: Scale 1-10 (10 the worst), 8-9.
Pain Levels after treatment: Treatment day pain decreased to 2 and day after pain level was 1.
Energy levels before treatment level: Scale 1-10 (1 the lowest) Level 2 – using lots of sugar and caffeine (diet sodas) to function and work.
Energy levels after treatment increased to 8 no sugar and caffeine. One month later it continues at 8-9
The most remarkable change in my life and energy was the immediate relief of pain. Three days after the treatment I found myself walking long distances in San Francisco, CA, to the extent that I realized the change, and the increase of my energy I suddenly stopped and started crying because of happiness with my new life.

Fibromyalgia / pH 6.4 – 74
I participated in the Kinergetics Intensive Philip Rafferty held in Deloraine, Tasmania, during January 2010. I had a 10 year history of fibromyalgia and bilateral arm pain diagnosed as an RSI condition, for which I had had many previous Kinesiology and other treatments which had all contributed to my feeling better over this 10 year period.
The pain from both conditions fluctuated and was not severe, however at times it could be a nuisance to me and I would need to modify my activities until things settled down. Within two days of the class commencing my arms started to become very painful and I had thought I would not be able to continue. Philip did a Kinergetics Hypertonic balance on my Upper Trapezius, and this allowed me to continue pain free for the duration of the course, and to this current day. My arm pain levels went from a 9/10 to zero. I was also waking up feeling more alert and with a lot less aching generally in my body.
I also received a demonstration balance from Philip for Hydration, which involved a very big correction. I have since checked my Saliva PH level, and for the first time in 7 years I register in a healthy 7.4 alkaline range instead of the highly acidic range of 5.8 to 6.0 which had been my normal for years and had marginally improved to 6.4 in the past 6 months.
Over the past ten years I have made huge changes in my life, both on an emotional level and health level. I have done several kidney, liver, bowel and parasite cleanses, given up coffee, all grains and most white carbs, and whilst I felt better and lost weight I STILL had an acidic PH level.
I am convinced Kinergetics has enabled my body to become better hydrated which has led to a much improved acid/alkaline balance. Thank you Philip!! AW – Jan 2010

Fibromyalga
Fibromyalgia testimonial – are the results reproducible?
I have seen 4 clients with fibromyalgia and used only Kinergetics on them. Each one has responded with a decrease in symptoms and pain within a couple of sessions, and all are free of pain after 4 sessions. The symptoms have not returned with a follow-up a year later.

Fibromyalgia
After many years of Fibromyalgia / Fatigue I have experienced great improvements after Kinergetics treatments from Philip Rafferty.
He has alleviated my pain, increased my energy levels, improved my chronic pervasive dehydration and difficulty absorbing minerals such as magnesium and zinc, removed my sensitivity to chemicals, helped me overcome a debilitating fear, improved my digestion, enabled me to eat vegetable proteins once more without a worsening of my symptoms, furthered my insight into my emotional and physical being, and even mended my intense aversion to the colour blue!
I have had many health practitioners, both complementary and traditional, simply throw up their hands at the perverseness of my body and its medical quirks – but Philip has persevered, refusing to give up on my health.
