Sleep / 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.

Sleep / 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.

Sleep / Arthritis

Today I was able to see my left ankle bones for the first time in a year and a half, then the ankles got puffy again in the evening. The doctor said it was arthritis and there was nothing he could do.

The pain in the right ankle was almost gone, and the pain in the left ankle which is usually at a 4 to 10 was down to a 2!!!

The Original back pain I had when we started is gone!

The back pain I had before leaving the motel, was in another part of my back – very painful – guess it was just stepping up for healing… it’s almost gone, too.

I had a big carbuncle starting to fester on my back… also very painful… It’s better today!!! That surprised me.

Last night the toxins were flowing… strange pains & headaches. Normally I wake every half hour, but last night I slept straight through.
Still had problems with the perfumes at the meeting tonight, but there’s still a lot of toxins to dump!!! I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Please let Philip know that I really appreciate all that he was able to do for me! Today I feel so much lighter!

Sleep / Chocaholic

In 1994 and 1995 I was a Kinergetics student or Kinergy as it was when I first started.

Philip came to Queensland and taught the first Level 7 (Day 7) Workshop at Caloundra.

Incorporated in that Level 7 was a new TMJ balance that later would become RESET TMJ and be removed from that workshop. At the time I was a severe chocaholic who consumed in excess of 3 kgs of chocolate products a week. I also suffered allergies and had weak kidneys.

From that first RESET balance I became better hydrated and was much more relaxed, I slept better, was not so prone to headaches, and my allergies were markedly less.

However, the amazing thing was that a couple of weeks later I was grocery shopping and was going down the confectionery aisle when I stopped dead in my tracks and looked back at the shelves of chocolates. Until then I had completely forgotten about chocolate (an unheard-of occurrence), let alone eaten any. I was stunned. I didn’t buy any chocolate that day. I couldn’t even remember exactly what the compulsion felt like. The treatment had stopped it in its tracks, and I hadn’t even been aware of the change.

The best part is that the results are still holding after 15/16 yrs. I can take or leave chocolate and very rarely buy it. The benefits to my whole system must have been enormous. I certainly got value from that workshop. Thank you, Philip, for creating it!

I have gone on to become a RESET Instructor and have seen equally amazing results happen for people with this technique.
