Erika's Story

"I was riding a crowded bus home, slouching after a long day of work - and out of nowhere one of my front ribs sprung out of place."  

When I began taking exercise classes from Cam (Cam Cameron), I met Erica, who I saw as the poster child of Cam's teachings.  She stood tall and straight and her posture inspired me every time I saw her in class.

I told her she was an inspiration to me, and she replied "Cam has helped me so much.  I used to be a basket case."

Here is Erica's story, that she wrote to me in an email:

 I did not know I had skeletal problems until inexplicably one night in December 2007.  I was riding a crowded bus home, slouching after a long day of work - and out of nowhere one of my front ribs sprung out of place.  I didn't know what the sharp pain was - and began having a panic attack.

The next day I arrived at a very well-known chiropractor in Vancouver, BC.  My ribs were all out of place, making it hard to breathe.

I spent the next four years going to him twice or three times a week at $140 a visit.  I would have some relief - but if I made any sudden movements or played my clarinet at all - I would slip right back into the pain and nerve cycle.  I realized that I could not practice unless it was absolutely necessary.

I was constantly experiencing panic attacks, canker sores, and other manifestations of the constant pain and stress I was in.

We moved to Bellingham in December of 2011.  By the next July, I had played my most important gig to date.  Just after that performance, my ribs, neck, and pecs had become so stressed that if I even gestured to the position of holding a clarinet, my nerve paths would go crazy and I wouldn't be able to handle the pain. 
Then my husband noticed Cam at Bellingham Fitness.  The amazing part was that he noticed Cam training with someone, and recognized him.  It turns out that Cam had helped my husband and his father, when my husband was 13 years old in Canada.  Once he realized that this was the same Cam, he was sure I could be helped to reduce some of my pain.

In my first session with Cam, he assured me that I had no permanent damage to my skeleton and muscles, and just needed lots of new strength, breaking of bad habits, and relearning skills.  Within 3 months I began to see and feel enormous changes to my emotions, my stress, and my pain.  As I began to see the changes, my improvement increased exponentially.

I began bringing my instrument to my sessions, and would play and he would make adjustments both to my physical stance and to my mental approach to playing the instrument, and emotionally connecting with the music.  In the first year I was able to get back to practicing and playing concerts with much more ease.

It’s been nearly 3 years since I began seeing Cam, and my life is completely different.  I still need check-ups and my body still requires constant skill training - but I wouldn't have it any other way.

My clarinet playing has improved by 40% since seeing him, my ability to participate and the amount of concerts I have accepted is three times more than before.  I now feel strong.  I feel like I can reengage in all the activities I used to love to do.

Fencing is my latest sport.  It’s very strenuous, and I have not had any problem with my ribs or body while enjoying this pastime.  In addition, I attend Cam’s gym classes twice a week, as well as doing short sessions of exercise at home every day, and being a mom of two young children.  Cam has shown me that fitness and the ability to live with my body is not a static experience.  It is constantly changing, and being challenged.  I now know how to listen to my body, to pay attention to it, and to refrain from pushing it beyond its limits.

I am so grateful for Cam, as I don't think I would be playing if it weren't for him, and I certainly wouldn't be enjoying life as much as I am now!

Thanks, Erica, for your story.

I (Katie) have been taking Cam's classes now at least once a week for several months, and slowly finding myself sitting and standing straighter, and having more energy.

He has a website, a book and a DVD.  Contact him through www.revive-a-back.com.

Do you have a good arch?

Do you have a good arch?

 The health of your feet affects the health of your whole skeleton.

Is the gap between your arch and the floor big enough that you can slide at least one finger under your foot?  If so, great!

If not, here is Cam’s simple muscle remedy:

While sitting or standing, lift the toes, especially the big toes, and slightly turn the knees out.  Flex your feet and knees for a few seconds and release.  Repeat three times.

If you do this consistently on a daily basis, you should begin to notice that you have a healthier arch.

Have you read "The Healing Code" by Alex Loyd and Ben Johnson?  Five years ago I discovered it, got really excited, used the process for a couple of weeks, and then totally forgot about it.
I have re-discovered the book and have been using the Healing Code for a week now, working on emotional issues.
Detrimental emotions are stuck in every cell of your body.  That seems to be one of the authors' beliefs.  By practicing the Healing Code two or three times a day, I am feeling lighter, more energetic, and I am getting more accomplished.
One of my biggest issues is that I am programmed to accept the aging process and the movement toward death.  Have you been programmed to believe that we age, that we move toward death as we live more years?
I think that belief is rampant throughout humanity.
What to do about it?
Using the Healing Code, I have been de-programming that concept.  You might want to try it.
I use the statement "I, Katie, now de-program the aging process and the movement toward death, from my mind, body and DNA.  And I re-program my mind, body and DNA with eternal health, vitality and a youthful biological age."
I point my fingers to four areas of the head for about 30 seconds each area, and repeat until I have said the statement for at least six minutes.  I pretend my fingertips are lasers, sending the positive statement into my body through that point on my head.

1. First to my third eye, or between my eyebrows.
2. Second to my Adam's apple.
3. Third to the end of my jaws, just below each earlobe.
4. Last to just outside my temple.

I highly recommend the book to you, as my words above are insufficient for a full understanding of the power of this process.  "The Healing Code" by Alex Loyd and Ben Johnson.

Rejuvenate Naturally, the book.  Second draft is almost completed.  I expect it to be completed and ready for you to read by summer of 2016.
Key factors of rejuvenating found in the book include Beliefs that Stop You, Working with Energy, and Innovations in Movement, and Using Food to Rejuvenate.

My posture is improving.
My skeleton is re-aligning.
Cam's classes, book and DVD are the catalyst for this.

I'm sleeping lots as my body improves.
