WE’RE NOW LIVING WITHOUT PAIN
“It
was as if a knife had been pulled from my back.” Jackie Gilbert, is
a 51 year-old pilates instructor from Elstree. “As an exercise professional, keeping myself active and in shape are crucial to my work. Two and a half years ago I was suddenly plagued with acute shoulder pain that limited my arm movement and caused a constant deep ache across my upper mid back. Simon instantly diagnosed this as coming from a root filling and crown that had been done some time ago, but my slight scepticism and cautiousness about the cost involved in replacing this caused me to delay taking his advice. Over the next year the pain persisted making it difficult for me to work a full day and needing to rest and recover in between sessions. It was the exhaustion and weakness in undertaking any physical exertion that was so apparent. Trips to the supermarket, gardening and even hanging up washing become a huge effort. As a single parent and self employed I was very dependent on my energy and physical fitness. I was on the verge of thinking I may have to change my career and lifestyle. Almost a year after my first consultation with Simon, on a two week dancing holiday my body virtually collapsed from the build-up of weakness in my muscles. I was ready to spend anything and try whatever might be necessary. Within hours of having the root filling cleaned out my body started to respond and it was as if a knife had been pulled out of my back. The improvement was gradual, but 18 months down the line I am now back to full fitness having recently returned from a 200km trek in the Himalayas.”
“I’m making up for lost time now”.

“As a child I had a trigger-happy dentist, which meant I had a mouth full of assorted metal fillings and crowns (about 12 in total). From very early on, I was always the one who was poorly with bronchitis, chest infections... all sorts of things. I became seriously ill with what would now probably be diagnosed as ME in my early twenties, and then in my early thirties, I became totally allergic to my environment. Allergy specialists found I was intolerant to 184 different substances – from milk, wheat and sugar through to petrol, gas and electricity. It meant that I was a very unwell lady for a number of years – passing out, suffering from galloping arthritis, my body would swell up... At one stage, a doctor told me I might have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair! But no-one could give me a diagnosis, and I just looked like I was nuts, constantly making excuses for what I couldn’t do. That’s when I visited Simon, who muscle-tested my body, and recognised that it was my dentistry that was the likely cause of my problems. Over a period of six months I underwent some major dentistry to remove the mercury and aluminium from my mouth. Towards the end of the six months, a fairly rapid change started to take place – I started to feel better! It has given me a whole new lease of life….vitality and energy again. I really feel like the process rejuvenated me and the years dropped off.”
“I took my earrings out and the
pain just went.” Christine Lovell is a 61 year-old office manager
from Berkhamsted,
Hertfordshire.
“My right hip had started to cause me a great deal of pain. While I was still mobile, I was constantly aware of this aching that never left me, and it felt like it was gradually getting worse. The first chiropractor I went to see told me that it was the onset of arthritis – which instantly horrified me. I was scared that I was going to eventually need a hip replacement. I went to see Simon at Naturality for a second opinion and when he said the pain was linked to my neck... to my earrings, I was amazed. I had been wearing pierced earrings since my early teens. Simon explained how metal can react with sensitive nerve endings. I took my earrings out at that first session with Simon and the pain just went – and it didn’t return. I left all my jewellery off for a while, but have gradually phased in lighter pieces which my body seems able to tolerate. The story sounds weird – but it worked, and they say the proof of the pudding is in the tasting!”
"My pain lifted instantly.” Steven Peet is a 51 year-old head of business development for an engineering firm. He lives in Croydon. “As an ex-rugby player, I had always put the pain in my lower back down to my sporting history. I had been for lots of treatments over the years, but nothing had resolved the issue. I never for one moment drew a correlation between me having two crowns fitted approximately ten to fifteen years ago – the same time as the aches and had started. Yet, after conducting extensive muscle testing, that’s what Simon thought was causing the problems. After being in pain for so many years, and listening to Simon explain how proprioception works, I was willing to concede that it was possible the crowns were to blame and that metals could have a negative impact on the body. So I went for it and found a dentist who was willing to remove my two amalgam crowns. To my surprise – and relief – the pain was removed instantly! Now I am nearly as energetic as I was back in my rugby playing years and have embraced yoga as a means of keeping my body supple.”
