"Hey John, Thanks for writing down in a very very funny way, stuff that I have read about in lots of different books put together in one silly, funny, practical, easy to read book. Loved the blacmange example - laughed for ages with the mental picture."
- Lyndal Thomas, Yoga Teacher, Bowen Therapist, Brisbane.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"This book is remarkable. Not only is it a succinct summary on how to become your own wellness detective, it is also easy to read and humorous. With deep insight, it equips the user with a wellness model that they can use to monitor their health, and improve it. This book gave me sudden insight into the sources of my personal health issues, and has put me on the track to recovery."

"It's rare that a book enters the arena of 'Health' and kicks arse in such a gentle, purposeful and original way. This is just such a book. The many years John Dalton has spent practicing the art of healing have given him an entirely unique and ultimately helpful perspective on the causes of our illness and our health. For anyone caught up in the whirligig of 21st Century living, or the desert of current medical understanding, this work is a refreshing, even joyous, oasis."
- Chris Bray, Author, Brisbane.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE your book. It brings with it all the inspiration and hope I felt at your workshop. I can hear your voice as I read and it gives me great permission to be myself and know that that is enough. Thanks for writing it. To me this is a liberating way to look at illness, physical or psychological, that allows people see their part without overburdening them with responsibility."
- Patricia Banks M.A. Psychosynthesis Therapist, Dublin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Thank you John for your book. I found it easy and enjoyable to read while being full of interesting and thought provoking information. It was good to read at home as I was able to reflect on each chapter before continuing on to the next one. The Impala story was the one that really spoke to me. I highly recommend the book to anyone searching for answers to why they are sick."
- Cathy Scully - Brisbane.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Dear John, I want to thank you for the workshop and your book both of which precipitated a shift in my energy. I have for the last year or more been facing a big lump of self-doubt in me which seemed to expand and infiltrate into many areas of my life, especially work. I read your book through and answered the questions and about a week later, there was a sudden energetic shift in me and this block was blown out of my system. Since then I have had nothing but success stories from my clients, or perhaps it is that I am able to hear them and not magnify the not so good. Thank you for your contribution to this shift."
- Sandra Newland - Brisbane.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"This unique book written in John's incomparably humorous style focuses on a holistic way of thinking about the complexity and diversity of the human body that is both easy to understand and 'rings' true. Essential reading for all who are interested in an innovative approach of treating body, mind and spirit."
- Kathrin Veal (MPsych) Psychologist - Austria

john-daltonLet me paint a picture ---
---You have been sick for years.
You have pain in all your muscles.
You have no energy. You get headaches.
You are often nauseous.
You get odd temperature fluctuations and your heart races alarmingly for no apparent reason. You can't remember the last time you slept well.

You know you're depressed but you're not sure anymore if it's another symptom or because you HAVE all these symptoms. You weren't depressed in the beginning. Back then you thought all you had to do was go to the Doctor and they would sort you out.

At this stage you've seen so many Doctors and specialists and therapists and quacks that you've become numb. And all you've got to show for it is a very expensive collection of diagnosis.

First it was glandular fever. Then it was chronic fatigue syndrome. Then it was fibromyalgia and now it's polymyalgia. Each new diagnosis gave you a surge of energy, it legitimised what was happening for you in some way. Finally diagnosis lost its appeal as you realised that just because they could give it a name didn't mean they could cure it.

You don't take medication any more because you don't trust it. You've had one too many side effects. Your GP, who has been with you through it all, has eventually told you that you'll just have to live with it.

'You'll just have to live with it.'

This doesn't feel like living anymore. It feels like a nightmare. All your life you never gave your health a second thought.
Now it's all you think about.

Why is this happening to me?

You feel ill-equipped and powerless to help yourself and the people who have made it their life's work to become expert in helping you have come up blank. ---

---That's a pretty bleak picture I know but it's one I've seen many times.

If parts, or all of it, sound familiar, you are not alone. There are millions of people having to ‘live with it.

Let me give you some hope.
You don't have to live with it. You are not powerless.
There is a lot you can do to change your situation. That's what this book is all about. . . . .

Why I know what I'm talking about . .
Before I go any further let me tell you about myself so you can put what I'm saying in context.

I've been a Cranio Sacral Therapist for the last 15 years.
I have treated over 1000 people.
My success rate averages 85-90 %. Meaning 85-90% of the people who come to see me get the result they were looking for. You can read patient testimonials here.
I developed the only Australian Government accredited diploma of cranio sacral therapy.
I was a founder of The Australian Institute of Cranio Sacral Therapy.
I lecture internationally on cranio sacral therapy.
I run the Open Source Cranio project which brings cranio sacral therapy training free to developing countries.

My interest in why we get sick and why we get better, started by accident. My brother Derek’s accident to be exact. He was hit by a car in 1988 and ended up in a coma. Derek had a severe head injury and the admitting doctors told my Mother he wouldn’t make it through the night. That was to become a signature of Derek’s story. The doctors would state that he would never be able to do a certain thing and then Derek would prove them wrong by doing it.

'He won’t live another day.’

Then the next day when Derek was still alive,

‘He won’t make it to the end of the week.’

Then the next week when he was still alive,

‘He won’t see the month out.’

Then the next month, still alive,

‘He will never regain consciousness.’

‘He will never walk again.’

Derek did them all and more.

He awoke from his coma after 3 months and began the long and painful process of rehabilitation. He is now married with three beautiful children.

Watching him recover I learned first hand that our bodies are capable of a lot more than we ‘know’. It has been an excellent reference for me in my work as a therapist.

When Derek was in the coma I remember how powerless I felt to help him. I've seen this feeling of helplessness time and again in the people I have treated.

‘Why am I sick?’
‘Why is this happening to me?’

In my practice I found myself spending more and more time helping patients explore these questions. I began to see trends in the answers they were getting.

Over the years I have had hundreds of these conversations with patients, as we've explored why they were sick and the reasons they weren't getting better.

I have distilled these conversations into my book. Why Do We Get Sick? Why Do We Get Better? A Wellness Detective Manual Which is like the debriefing we should get when we leave the hospital or Doctor’s office. The, ‘How to figure out what your illness meant and spot the warning signs early.’ briefing.

No book can make you better but a change in perspective can make all the difference.
Here are some of the perspectives you will discover in my book---

  • Irrational logic - Why do we do the seemingly irrational and sabotaging things we do? Why do we make poor choices? Why do we keep repeating the same sabotaging patterns? Why do we pick the wrong partners? Why can't we get ahead? Why do we attract trouble? - pg. 93
  • Distractions - How to identify the ways we distract ourselves from getting better. - pg. 82
  • And much more…

Each chapter concludes with a series of questions to help you apply the material to your individual situation.

The Big Sell.

I have seen the material in my book help many people. If you have read this far I am going to assume you are seriously looking for answers. I am passionate about helping you get some relief so I am going to unashamedly sell you on my book because I strongly believe it will help.

Let me ask you this:--- What if the perspectives in this book gave you only a 5% understanding of why you are sick? What would that be worth to you?

Now ask yourself: What if there is even a chance that this book can help you understand why you are sick and you could use this understanding to help yourself get better? A chance of a 5%, 10%, 50% improvement . . . .

How much would that be worth to you?

For most of the people I have treated, it was priceless.

Just the POSSIBILITY of getting some kind of an answer to the, 'Why me?' question would be worth it. I have spent fifteen years looking very closely at the question of why we get sick and how we get better.

Are you going to spend the rest of your life feeling helpless? Disempowered? Worried sick about your future?

Get a copy of my book NOW and you will be giving yourself that chance of changing your situation for the better.

May you find the answers you are looking for.

Wishing you all the best,
