“In the early 1990’s I was leading a very active physical life and coping with the ups and downs that are thrown at you.
On a skiing trip towards the end of the 90’s I had a particularly strenuous day and finished exhausted. During the night I awoke and found one side of my body had little or no feeling. My immediate thought was “am I having a stroke?” Soon realising this was not the case, I travelled back to the uk and went straight to my GP. The Doc suggested that there was little wrong with me and that I should see a Chinese herbalist!
Scroll on a few months…..having seen a number of medicos without getting any reasonable diagnosis, I was still suffering numbness combined with dizzy spells and cramp in my legs. My digestion was also becoming far less efficient than it should have been and caused a great deal of pain. This general decline continued and brought about bouts of deep depression and a difficulty in maintaining fitness levels.
A chance meeting with cranial osteopath / chiropractor put me in front of someone who finally spoke sense with a good degree of knowledge. He immediately started to work to alleviate some of the symptoms and advised a visit to see Dr Bishop. At this point I am suffering from dizziness for the greater part of the day, extreme back problems that severely restrict my movement, numbness of the limbs, severe cramp at night and crushing depression that was limiting my ability to run several businesses and causing crushing suicidal thoughts.
My occlusal treatment and at times, intensive chiropractic manipulation have been a very long and slow road over the last decade or so, with frequent setbacks. However, I am now in a position where I am fitter than most people my age, undertake a very active life and very rarely have a “glum” day. I suffer a little numbness and cramp at times and my digestion is not perfect. Were it not for the treatment I have received from a few very well informed people, I doubt that I would be alive to tell the tale.”
