My First Kinesiology Experience

After having the most difficult week of my life last week, I resorted to seeing a top kinesiologist on Saturday.... and what an experience it was!

For those of you who don't know what kinesiology is, it is an alternative therapy which essentially tests your muscles and identifies imbalances in your body's structural, chemical or emotional needs. It's a treatment which uses nutrition, exercise, diet and physical manipulation to energize your body; something that I was in desperate need of on Saturday. There is some skepticism around kinesiology, however, I was willing to try anything last week.... and there is equally as much contraversy around chemotherapy (if not more) if you read widely. In fact, there are many people who have abandoned chemo for alternative therapies; something which I am not willing to do (but was seriously considering it last week!!) but if I can find a way to support my immune system post chemo, it will be a good compromise.

I could feel that my body wasn't recovering at all last week post chemo and that no matter how much good food I put into my body, it wasn't enough to replenish the toxins that had fuelled my entire body and taken it over.

The kinesiologist could barely believe how my body felt; he basically said it was completely distressed, to the point that he wouldn't touch my spine or neck (which was all out) because it was under too much stress already. He had some very interesting observations about why cancer had become active in my body and he was able to prescribe two supplements (Grape Seed and Cyto Bifidus) immediately which he had to give me in massive quantities for it to take effect.

I found the visit absolutely brilliant and I feel that this specialist will help me significantly to get through chemo and identify what is happening in my body to make the cancer active. He mentioned that we have to find what is causing the cancer and make the change so it doesn't come back... this will be a longer process to identify as he said it is not obvious and he has warned me that my diet will change massively. He had so many interesting insights and I really feel that he is going to be able to help me get through this and maintain optimum health. It was very fascinating and he said 'man you are wired so differently hey'...... which I laughed at!!! I don't think he had felt a body in such a dilapidated state ever!

Five days later, I am feeling SO much better and the supplements are making a massive difference. I am also taking inner health plus and I'm not eating any dairy at all for the next week to see if that makes a difference. I will see him again next week but the difference to my immune system in a few days is extraordinary! But I guess you would expect that with about 100 billion good bacterias going into my body each day!

I went to my first Pilates class yesterday which I really loved. It's low energy exercise which focuses on core strength and was the perfect type of exercise for me right now. So this week is a new week and thank goodness I have bounced back again......

NB - if you are a cancer patient reading this, please note that the supplements prescribed to me are specifically for my internal system. Every system is different so this is not a blanket solution post chemo.

Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support and messages..... I love reading them every day and all of the love, support and kindness from all of my great friends helps me to get through every single day of this challenge.
