How I got my wiggle back

[Stanz]

I hear ya, Gabes, and that's sad. I used to spend a lot of my time volunteering as an advocate for kids and that was good for my soul. Haven't done much with that for the last 5 years and I miss it. It's hard to focus on other people when your own body scares the hell out of you.

i think the frustrating part is the progress and measurable levels of success take a while....

definately teaches you about patience and tenancity....

also tests the ability to change when you used to be a 'slight' perfectionist control freak!!!

[Stanz]

you talkin' about me or you, Gabes?

[Lesley]

Somehow, though I tried really hard to send them to you they seem to be sticking to me very stubbornly.
Hey Gabes! She asked me first!

Acupuncture didn't help my back, nor did chiropracty. At the time I didn't have MC so it wasn't treated.
As for it becoming a money pit? I am already deep in the pit, and digging down hard.

The Wiggles!!! My oldest son (who is now 13) LOVED them although he would never admit it now! I think I will have to get my hands on his book.

A friend of mine has been trying to get me to see a kinesiologist for some time. I haven't made the appnt yet mostly because of the money pit. I've already spent so much trying to figure this all out. I wasn't sure I was willing to risk more money with unknown results.

Keep us posted Gabes on how it goes. I'll be very interested to hear if this helps you!

Connie, definately ME!


the best way to describe Kinesiology is that it is your body telling the truth it is getting beyond your head and your heart. some may consider it 'out there' but like anything you get what you give, you relax and trust the practitioner you will get great insight into what your body is trying to tell you.

Definately since the MC Dx, inflammation, leaky gut and an immune system that is singing off a completely different song sheet to what it is supposed to, none of these treatments (acupuncture / chiro / kinesiology/ herbs etc) can magically make all the symptoms go away, it is no quick fix and no replacement for your own hard work.

more so since my MC Dx, it is a slow and gradual process. Be mindful that the success of the treatments is reliant on what you as the individual do after them, what you think, what you eat, what you do, or what you dont do

if the treatments are reducing the inflammation and then you go and eat a meal that contains ingredients that cause inflammation then you basically eliminating the benefits of the treatment.

If the treatments are working on elminating toxins, then you have to be prepared that for the next 2-24 hours you will go to the toilet alot more, 2 - 3 times more, both wee and poop. You cant resent it or try to stop it, you have to let it happen

another important element you have to like your practitioner, you have to want to go to the treatments and enjoy them, relax and be yourself.

Melanie - so far i am seeing improvement, the chiro is giving me core strength back,

Hi Gabes,

Gabe said "Be mindful that the success of the treatments is reliant on what you as the individual do after them, what you think, what you eat, what you do, or what you dont do"

I'm finding this to be very true particularly the "what you think" part. i.e. if I am sad or stressed a little mini flare can kick in. I'm really working on the meditative yoga and my meditation tapes.

My diet is pretty routine, safe and consistent. The unpredictable part is "what I think" so I'm now working on that part of healing. I think I'm going to do a stress journal and see if that helps.

Hello everyone

My name is Dr James Stoxen DC. I found this message board because I had a google alert on the book title HOW I GOT MY WIGGLE BACK.

It is an honor and a pleasure participate as a contributor to this forum with reference to How I Got My Wiggle Back, the new book, featuring entertainer Anthony Field discussing his decades-long search for medical and health assistance on three continents.

Field, the creator and a founding member of the world’s most successful musical groups for young children, The Wiggles, was handicapped by chronic pain, chronic, chronic fatigue, misdiagnosed fibromyalgia and depression during his 20 years on the road.

I am proud to say, I was able to assist him.

I hope you all learn some valuable lessons from reading the book and for those who have any questions, please feel free to contact me as I am here to serve your needs.

Thank you all for your interest in this book and our body of work.

Hello and welcome Dr. Stoxen,
Thanks for adding to our forum. I think you'll find our group to be intelligent, knowledgeable, thoughtful and research based. It's a great group.
Thank you for dropping in... and now I'm eager to read the book!

Hi Dr. Stoxen,

Welcome aboard. It's interesting that Anthony had to travel almost 10,000 miles to find his solution. It goes to show that solutions are available, and if we're sufficiently motivated, we can find them.

Thanks for posting, and congratulations on resolving a case that had stumped so many of your colleagues.

Dr Stoxen
thanks for joining and contributing to our forum (we are more of a close knit family than just a forum)

I havent finished the book as yet, but was keen to share the section regarding your comments about inflammation with the group.
3 weeks or so ago before I started reading the book I had already reached some conclusions about inflammation, its toxicity and how that impacts our immune systems.

it is reassuring when we see someone in the medical profession that 'gets it' regarding these types of symptoms and ongoing health issues.
Anthony openly admits in the book that he is using his fame to spread the message, that you can overcome these conditions that are mis-diagnosed, causing a myriad of symptoms and 'get your life back' (which is our tag line)

I will contact you direct, as i am interested in how you came to your conclusions about inflammation.

thanks again for posting.

Hi Gabes

I started my research into inflammation after hearing a lecture by an Australian doctor from Melbourne on diet an inflammation in 2005 in Bali Indonesia. There have been many books written about diets and inflammation in the last 10 years which you can read. I believe the first books on anti-inflammation diets came out in 2004 or 2005. Dr Bill Anton He is not so involved as he was but his wife Helen still runs the anti-aging conferences in Melbourne which you can attend I will be lecturing in Melbourne in August and doing workshops there.

My most recent lecture in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, one month ago was the inflammation–depression connection. In order to prepare for that lecture I pulled 1500 citations or scientific papers from pub med. The connection between inflammation and depression is very strong and if you discussed it with doctors they would say it absolutely exists. Scientific studies have found it almost indisputable that it there is a strong connection in fact that's how depression is treated unfortunately not by treating the inflammation but by treating the lack of serotonin that occurs when inflammation steals the substance that create serotonin called tryptophan to create to chemicals called kynene and Quin. Both these chemicals are linked to Parkonsins, Alzheimer's and dementia.

Here's how it looks in the formula:

Tryptopan -----> Serotonin (happy hormone)

INFLAMMATION steals tryptopan away from this pathway. instead of tryptophan making more serotonin, it goes down what we call the IDO pathway instead. So essentially it's taken away from doing you good in crates to other chemicals instead of serotonin which makes you happy and improve sleep another functions.

(Inflammation) Takes Tryptophan and makes Kynurene and later Quin

Kynurene and Quin are linked to more serious diseases of aging such as Parkinson's Alzheimer's and dementia.

So if you have a lack of tryptophan you don't create as much serotonin. so this is how old the psychotropic drugs such as Zoloft and the other antidepressant drugs work.

Serotonin goes from one nerve to another lets say. In the process 100% of the serotonin crosses a cleft or a space to go to the other side to do its job. 10% of the serotonin stays on that side and 90% will go back to the other side to be used again. what the pharmaceutical companies developed was a drug that kept the serotonin from going back into the original nerve. They call this re-uptake. So the drug is called a re-uptake inhibitor. So essentially what it does is it keeps it floating around in the cleft and on the other side a little longer.

This is the miracle of antidepressants sold in America. Some studies say they work with moderate to severe depression and other studies say that there useless including the Journal of American Medical Association. what's also interesting is that in Europe they have a drug that is approved but does the complete opposite of the serotonin uptake inhibitors and it has the same positive results. So how can the drug companies released know exactly what this drug does and if it really works. Even top scientists can't figure it out.

now, if your logical thinker, you would say well since you didn't do anything to reduce the inflammation, isn't the tryptophan still being stolen from that chemical pathway and use to create those two chemicals that lead to or are linked to Parkinson's Alzheimer's and dementia? That would be a wise deduction.

What I did for Anthony was what people in the industry nickname the pain exorcism. What it really is is an inflammation exorcism. It was a 15 hour very grueling treatment with vibrational massage and hands-on that focus on reducing overall bodily inflammation. Then to reset the human spring mechanism so that the mass bounced off the ground rather than bang into the ground which is what created the information in the body with every step.

That is why the results of not only reduction in chronic pain (caused by inflammation), reduction in chronic fatigue ( caused by inflammation), and the bonus which he never thought would happen was the reduction in the clinical depression, a significant reduction which was noted by him in his today show interview earlier this year. You can Google it, today show how I got my wiggle back and the video is still there.

So yes, the way to improve your health It is by reducing inflammation. The problem is, that doctors don't attack inflammation as aggressively as the pain at/inflammation exorcism. Treatments such as the treatment you're receiving at your chiropractor or three days a week 20 to 30 minutes maybe more which don't compare to the 15 hours of grueling treatment that Anthony received. In fact, I asked Greg took home the language down on how grueling debate exorcism was in the book so that the readers would not be afraid of it. I just wanted to develop a curiosity for it and then I would teach doctors and then they could individually introduce this very grueling treatment approach to the patient's one-on-one where the patient was in a more controlled environment with guidance from the doctor.

In 2005, Dr.Gringeri followed up with the dietary recommendations of the enzymes and determining Anthony's food sensitivities to reduce intestinal inflammation. I alerted Dr. GringeriIn the to your forum so that he could chime in and help you understand how he was able to help Anthony and maybe how he can help you.

So maybe that's a little bit of insight for you that will help you to understand better what really happened. it also will give you better insight as to the realities of chronic pain, chronic fatigue, misdiagnosed fibromyalgia and the cause of many peoples depression.

I hope this helps..
