Hi everyone. I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything but I felt I had posted everything I could that was beneficial and didn’t want to just regurgitate old info. I could add my old info from years ago to update my index if people think that would be beneficial. Let me know your thoughts. I also have been investing in Spooky2’s Rife Frequency machines to help people with more difficult health conditions. Royal Rife created machinery to use frequencies to affect people’s DNA using quantum entanglement. Albert Einstein famously referred to quantum entanglement as "spooky action at a distance (he didn’t actually believe it was possible). I created a video on my successes using this for a competition so if you’d like to see that please also let me know. Your votes would be helpful.

Now to everyone in Brisbane, Gold Coast and NSW I am praying that Cyclone Alfred is not as bad as predicted and we personally are not damaged. For those that do get affected I know our beautiful community will pull together to help one another. It’s a stressful time and the last day to get prepared here in Brisbane so do your last minute checks and stay inside. Take care everyone. 🥰🙏🤗

Hi Everyone. Just because I have not been writing posts in here for quite some time at the moment, some people have thought I’m not working. Please forgive me for that. I should have written this sooner.

I am still working.

I’ve just been using my fb time for more productive things for me. Learning heaps of new things that I can help people with and I’m still writing books which take forever.

I may choose to come back here and add more posts at some time in the future. But if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Always wishing you good health and to be pain free. 🥰🙏

My Advanced Photonic Therapy Torch - To save me some time searching through my recent client files could whoever I have lent my APT torch contact me please, as my eldest daughter has torn her meniscus on one knee and displaced her kneecap on the other (ice hockey injury) so she requires it. Thank you 🙏

Also I apologise for being absent but I’ve been extremely busy and all my spare time has been going into writing a book.

ITEM 100: Wonder Oil - used for all skin conditions including sunburn, moles, sun spots, psoriasis, eczema, rashes and so much more.

On this very hot Australia Day I not only want to wish you a happy one but here’s a tip as many of you will probably get sunburnt. Always have some Wonder Oil in your cupboard. Not that I get sunburnt much my family do and it’s my go to for eliminating redness and pain. Use Wonder Oil and you will not blister or peel either.

I’ve used it on sunburn, to remove a new mole from my face, sunspots to stop having them burnt off and on itchy rashes.

Enjoy your day off however that is spent. And slip, slop, slap, seek and slide.

Item 99: Happy New Year 2023 and Weight Loss Resolutions and Restless Legs Syndrome Solution that worked for me.

This is a long post but hopefully one worth reading.

Photo shows my weight loss without exercise just a baking soda solution (bicarb not to be confused with baking powder - it is baking soda) taken twice a day. Solution and instructions is at the end of this post. The first photo is before and after and the second photo shows me and my belt that no longer fits.

Please Read: NEVER ingest anything without first checking with your doctor as I did! This is very important as I do not know your medical information nor should you just presume that something is ok for you just because it was ok for me. There are contraindications such as high blood pressure, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and kidney issues. Also baking soda in large quantities can be deadly but what I took is a small quantity. So don’t mess around with this.

Every January 1 until 2018 as part of my New Year Resolution I would take a photo of myself; unflattering as it was, it served as an inspiration and motivation for me to lose weight. It was just for me and I took my measurements and recorded those privately, as scales are no one’s friend! But sadly my amount of action never resulted in much. And as you would know weight doesn’t shift on wishing alone. But I most definitely wished a lot and honestly complained a lot and although I would start some fitness endeavour I never continued with the level of commitment that was required or sadly pain would get in my way.

But then in May 2018 I started taking a Baking Soda Solution for my Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) that I found in a RLS fb page.

The story goes that a Cancer Doctor told his cancer patient to take this baking soda solution as cancer can’t survive in an alkaline state which baking soda in this quantity would create. So the wife decided to take the solution with her husband to make sure that he would do it each day. She was surprised when her own Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) disappeared. And this is how this story and the solution ended up in the RLS fb page and I discovered it.

RLS causes sleep deprivation. And as such not only are you extremely tired and not at your happiest, you (or I should say I) searched out sugar to keep me alert and awake. I could not walk down the chocolate aisle of Cole’s without buying the $1 chocolate bars and I would eat the big tin of milo like it was a food source. I was absolutely addicted to it. I have now not eaten milo in 4 years!

My RLS used to be resolved with Magnesium (Mg); Mag Gel in particular but stress is a big trigger and eventually Mg no longer worked for me.

So after a lot of research and plenty of keyboard warriors telling me about the dangers and not to do it, I went and saw my GP, as all of you should also if you are contemplating this. My GP told me it would be good for me because I had very low blood pressure and hyperglycaemia. She could see no reason why I should not give it a try.

So I began taking the baking soda solution.

As I was very sleep deprived and had hyperglycaemia the first thing I would do when I woke was have breakfast as I would always wake hungry. For the first 8 days this interfered with my BS solution taking, as it needed to be done on an empty stomach twice a day. Since I was so sleep deprived my memory was not very good either, so each morning I’d jump out of bed and eat and then say “dammit”.

At night I had a post it note on my range hood so I would take the night time one as I started to prepare dinner as it would be at least half an hour before I ate. So I never forgot that one.

In those first 8 days despite not doing it right, my RLS definitely improved. The electrical buzzing in my calves was less but my legs were still jumping. But on the 9th day I remembered to take the solution when I woke to feed my dogs then I went back to bed and then ate my breakfast when I woke again, which was a couple of hours later. By the 17th day, I had no RLS. I was thrilled. And so I continued.

Apart from no more RLS there were other unexpected benefits.

1. My sugar craving was eliminated.
2. My appetite was reduced.
3. I no longer suffered with hyperglycaemia.
4. I rarely got low blood pressure.

Because of the first two things I lost significant weight. I started taking the baking soda solution in May 2018. I did not take a photo as I was not expecting this result. The second photo was taken in May 2019. One year later.

My measurement of my waist was 93cm in the first photo and 72.5cm in the second! I also lost two cup sizes in my breasts! Significant weight loss was noticed within 4.5 months!

The only exercise I did was walk my dogs around the block twice a day which I’d always done.

If you search baking soda and weight loss on the internet, you will see that they say there is no efficacy. No proof that it works. But all their tests were done only for a month. This is not long enough.

As I always say “commitment is key to all healing”. And also “keep going until it works. Don’t quit.” If doing this, also check in with your Dr every now and then.

For me I was lucky as I had RLS (feels strange to say that) but it was the driver for me to keep going. I never wanted to suffer with RLS ever again. But you won’t have that driver. But this New Year I decided to share these unflattering photos as a driver for you. So you can see me in the same clothes one year apart and the significant amount of weight I lost and use me as your driver. If I can do it without effort so can you.

Note, not all people will be able to do this, either due to the contraindications, their GP’s opinion and/or advice or simply because you have a gag reflex that won’t allow you to stomach this.

Here is the solution:

Half a teaspoon of baking soda with half a teaspoon of honey (the honey is just for flavour and is not necessary) in 200mls of WARM water taken TWICE a day on an EMPTY stomach at least half an hour before eating.

May 2023 be a very healthy and happy year for all of us. Less sugar equals less weight. Feel free to share 😊🙌

As I’m 27% Irish and a large proportion of my client base is Irish, I thought this Irish tradition is a great one to share here as I wish each and everyone of you a very Happy New Year. May 2023 be entered quietly without expectations. See you next year. Please do take care until then. 😊💜🎉🍾🥂

Merry Christmas to all of you. May you have a day filled with love, laughter and enjoyment tomorrow. Cheers Kris

TMJ 99: Loss of Sense of Smell and the Sphenoid Bone

To answer the question about the loss of sense of smell from Brooke McEwan and it’s possible connection to the Sphenoid bone, I found the following educational resources and a couple of fixes. As stated I have not had anyone with a loss of smell and/or taste to experiment on so I personally cannot comment on any effective treatment results. However, this is very worthwhile knowledge as I know due to Covid many people are suffering with a loss of smell and taste. For me that would be awful. Please know though some people have a loss of smell and yet can still taste. I do know of one such person but they do not want their sense of smell restored as they don’t want to have to smell body odour or faeces or smells that may turn them off tasting certain foods lol. The concern of course is they also cannot she’ll if something is burning or a gas leak.

If there are other Bowen Therapists out there that have had success with restoring smell and/or taste, please do comment below so others can look you up or at least have confidence going forward in their search for answers.

Here are the links to read for educational purposes or possible fixes:

“The sphenoid sinuses are located in the sphenoid bone near the optic nerve and the pituitary gland on the side of the skull. There are seven bones that form the orbit (eye socket), and the sphenoid is one of these bones. ….. Sinuses are susceptible to infection. Sinusitis is inflammation of a sinus caused by a bacterial infection that can follow a viral infection. This causes pus and mucus to accumulate within the sinus. Symptoms can include fever, headache, sinus pain, stuffy nose, and impaired sense of smell.

https://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/ethmoid-sinus #3

“In adults, the two most common causes of smell problems that we see at our Clinic are: (1) Smell loss due to an ongoing process in the nose and/or sinuses such as nasal allergies and (2) smell loss due to injury of the specialized nerve tissue at the top of the nose (or possibly the higher smell pathways in the brain) from a previous viral upper respiratory infection. Individuals who lose their sense of smell as a result of a respiratory virus generally give us a very clear history of dating their smell loss from a time when they were experiencing cold or flu symptoms. These patients are typically in the older age groups. The smell loss is partial rather than total for many, and can be associated with taste loss, parosmias and/or dysgeusias. There is no known effective therapy for taste and/or smell problems due to presumed viral damage.” NOTE FROM KRIS: I always tell my patients “accept the diagnosis but never the prognosis.”So just because these people say there is no known effective therapy, does not mean there isn’t one. They just don’t know of one. I believe there is an answer to every problem, we just have to find it.

ENT Surgeon’s thoughts on fixing the issue:

https://youtu.be/2uZBXES6kLc

After watching this news clip on on the loss of smell and taste from Covid I read the comments. https://youtu.be/ALoIPrUb8ro

I often find the sufferers are the best source of information and they will find your answers. I have, through my own research, found answers for things doctors had said mine and my husband conditions we had to live with but it simply was not true. The answers can be found. Here are some of the suggested solutions from the comments worth trying:

“My mother lost her sense of taste and smell. I gave her three zinc tablets and it fixed it in 3 days. The solution was Medical Nutrition. Her doctor could not help her but over-the-counter zinc purchased at the health food store was able to completely restore her sense of taste and smell. 3 30 mg tablets cured her!”

“This method also helps. Fill a big pot with water then add 2 lemons, then slice the lemon into four for each then add 4 pieces of garlic and 2 slices of ginger. Cover your self up with a blanket them inhale the steam, make sure it really gets to your nose. It is really helping me”

“Eat a garlic clove each morning and put 2 drops of vitamin A up your nose and under your tongue, this brought mine back in one week. “

“Slice an orange into quarters. Place them on a oven hob until charred . Dip them in brown sugar and eat while still warm. Sounds zany but it works.”

“During those two weeks, I did steaming daily and also took Vitamin C and Zinc tablets which were really effective. During the third week, I was able to smell strong smelling substances like deo, nail polish, camphor, etc and I got my smell and taste back gradually. It's been a month now and both my senses have been restored back to normal. I can smell and taste 100% now.”

If anything from this post helps you, please do let me know about it by commenting below. With thanks Kris 😊💜

TMJ 98: The importance of the Sphenoid Bone Alignment

The sphenoid bone is one of the most complex bones of the human body. For many reasons, the sphenoid bone is also considered the most important cranial bone and the one most often found out of alignment. When the sphenoid is misaligned, a vast array of physical and emotional health issues can occur. The sphenoid makes up much of the floor of the skull, holds the pituitary gland and affects the flow of the CSF which is produced in the brain and is crucial to the health of our nervous system.

As a TMJ Specialist I was also taught about cranial considerations and in particular how to realign the Sphenoid through specific movement of the eyes and the cranial bones. To relieve any of the symptoms listed below, both anatomical and physiological, it is important to know how to work on the anterior neck, and how to work with the cranial bones.

As a TMJD sufferer some time ago last year I had a major fall hitting my forehead into the ground, and I experienced memory loss and brain fog that at one point stole my confidence and brought me to organise a follow up with my neurologist. After having my sphenoid realigned at a course revision, my memory and brain function improved bringing my confidence back.

As TMJD sufferers we need our therapists to have this kind of knowledge and skillset.

The sphenoid is a butterfly shaped bone (sphenoid means butterfly) at the anterior base of the skull.

The sphenoid directly or indirectly articulates with every bone in the skull; if the sphenoid is subluxated, the entire skull and meningeal system may be affected. A sphenoid subluxation can affect total body structure.

It forms part of the orbits (eye sockets), paranasal sinuses, and cranium; it articulates (joins) with twelve other cranial or craniofacial bones and because of this I call it the Mother of all the cranial bones. And if you think of its location directly behind the eyes, every time you look somewhere, if your sphenoid is misaligned, then it and all the cranial bones move incorrectly which then affects the rest of your body.

Its articulations are with the:
* Temporal bones (paired)
* Parietal bones (paired)
* Zygomatic bones (paired)
* Palatine bones (paired)
* Occipital bone (unpaired)
* Vomer (unpaired)
* Ethmoid bone (unpaired)
* Frontal bone (unpaired)

The sphenoid bone is an attachment point for multiple muscles:
* Lateral and medial pterygoid muscles
* Lateral re**us muscle
* Pterygoideus externus muscle
* Tensor veli palatini muscle
* Sphenomandibular ligament
* Temporalis muscle
* Superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle

If you are experiencing temporal pain, look to the sphenoid.

If you are emotionally upset and crying hard, your jaw tenses which in turn will affects your sphenoid and the other cranial bones.

Because the sphenoid makes up a portion of the “eye-socket”, this may also be one reason sphenoid subluxations cause vision, nasal and related problems. Migraine or headache coming from the eye is often an indication of a sphenoid subluxation.

Symptoms related to misalignment of the sphenoid include:
* Headache and migraines
* Eye pain and other visual disturbances
* Hormone balance
* Insomnia
* Psychological disturbances/personality changes, depression
* Symptoms of impaired brain function including memory loss, dyslexia, lack of ability to concentrate, brain fog
* Sinus related issues
* Dental issues including teeth grinding and dental malocclusion
* Asthma
* Upper gastric conditions and transverse colon problems
* Problems of the trigeminal nerve (including Bell’s Palsy and Trigeminal Neuralgia)
* Neck or lower back problems and scoliosis

I have had patients report eye styes have cleared up, vision has improved, daily headaches and/or migraines improved, memory and brain fog improved, and clumsiness improved.

Check out this TikTok video testimonial from my childhood friend who lives an hour and a half from me. This was a lovely surprise for me. I’ve asked her to get an X-ray of her Coccyx so we can know for sure what is going on and free her mind of any concerns and give us a solid course of direction.

Her pain on standing up was 6/10 on the day of treatment (Friday just gone) and is now 2 or 3/10. Her coccyx pain was 9/10 and is now 8/10 so just a slight improvement. Back in 2014 when I first treated Helen for her frozen shoulder she had also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. After my 5 treatments back then, not only did we free her shoulder that had been stuck for two years, she no longer had, or has, any signs of fibromyalgia.

I personally believe all pain is healable 🙏🏼

Helen has over 10k followers so if you know her, you know she did a skydiving course that caused this injury (possibly fracturing or breaking her coccyx) but she also gives out great advice about mental health having travelled her own painful journey. She was voted Qld’s best DJ so there’s lots of music in her videos. They always bring a smile to my face. Go check her out. She responds to everyone. 😊💜

ITEM 97: The effects on shoulder restriction part 4. (Comments mostly copied and posted from previous post as it is relevant).

Apologies for my awkwardness in videos. I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable doing them.

Further to my previous posts TMJ 94, 95 and 96, here is another video of more restrictions that I had in my shoulder. I only discovered these restrictions after my TMJ went into a spontaneous open lock jaw and caused pain into my shoulder the next day.

I discovered more range of motion tests as I went searching for answers and solutions as to heal my pain. Once the pain was gone the restrictions sadly were still there.

This one is a common test. But do people know how to resolve it?

Check the comments for a photo showing that I have improved this particular restriction. I am not completely happy yet, as I really had to stretch to do this grip. I do believe my problem is that I still have a winged scapular on the right which I must now work to get resolved.

Can you freely do this grip both ways? Please comment below.

This video and the first photos were taken on the 6th of June 2022 and the improvement photo in the comments I took last night 17.10.22. That’s 4 months 11 days, however this improvement I’ve had for at least a month now. Remember commitment is key to healing. I’m a dedicated woman. I hope you can be too.

Also most of these restriction improvements have been done by me through homework. As I always say as therapists we do our part and you as the patient must do yours.

In my deep dive looking for answers I found this video by Athlean-x which is what got me this improvement - https://youtu.be/kQS0bH93fEs.
