Rather Be Healthy

Percentage

What I’m going through, what I’ve experienced over the last two months is difficult to explain really, small changes, minimal improvements are happening each day but whereas in all my previous attempts, and they were attempts based on my own research, in the main they could be likened to being on an escalator. Not in the normally accepted way, no it was like being on a down escalator but trying to walk up, initially as a strong man I could keep a good place and stay in the middle. Sadly my efforts as dedicated and committed as I was, just wasn’t enough so slowly but surely as the disease started to take a firmer hold I was moving further to what I felt was a point of no return, a bit like taking a step up but going two steps back. I felt like I was fighting a losing battle and it was very hard to deal with emotionally especially for such a physical man like me. But that was then and not now, now it’s very different, I’ve written about changes that are happening, unfortunately at this time the changes can’t be looked on cumulatively. It’s not as if an improvement is permanent, they happen one morning but go in the afternoon. Yesterday there were two physical things I did that I haven’t been able to do in four years, sadly I couldn’t do them again today but when I look at my physical self now it’s an improvement on last month. I have to look at the big picture, how there’s small but positive improvements that will slowly but definitely become permanent. This is just nine weeks into a very long journey, when I look at my improvements yes they’re small but a small percentage improvement is massively better than anything going down that escalator.

Four phases.

All four are very different and almost bear no similarities to each other as my life so far has been so varied, as a Liverpool lad born in the fifties, wow that seems such a long time ago, phase one was no different to the thousands of others, The Beatles were just a local band made good and as a Reds fan I followed what was the the best footie team ever!! , no mention of the blues even though I was born in Everton which is in Liverpool. I was just a healthy kid playing and scrapping with my mates. Phase one lasted until my early twenties then phase two, another healthy and more financially rewarding period. Primarily in the I.T. industry meant I earned good money but also worked hard and drove the equivalent of 40 times around the world, this was done up and down the A1 and M1 and every A and B road in the country. During this phase I was a skydiver, hang glider, scuba diver, mountain biker, rock climber and pilot.

Big change for phase three, living in the Rocky mountains, living and working in Colorado was a major culture shock, business is done differently, everyday life is different, yes they use our language but it’s been bastardised although it’s similar enough and after a few mishaps it was fine. It was during an 11 year period here that my MS started, two years after I moved in 02. My position as the client service director for the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry re-balancing was demanding enough without having to deal with the disease. Eventually I had to accept that MS was beating me, no more working and back to England. Still in phase three but still trying to beat  it naturally but not successfully.

Phase four, a friend of mine, Mary in Wisconsin told me about Ann Boroch and how she cured herself so after reading the book, several fortunate things happened which brings me here. Occasionally I have days that are good and bad, like Thursday, I’d had two fantastic days Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday morning was great but I became extremely weak in the afternoon. I think yesterday was the end of a really good 10 day good spell, the weakness took me by surprise but it wasn’t really a problem. I don’t know how long phase four will last but it’s a phase I’m enjoying and so looking forward to phase five. About a month or so ago I wrote a post for my blog www.ratherbehealthy.com that I firmly believe the this decade, my sixties will be the best decade of my life… so far because I know the next is going to be a doozy.

Better than it..

The program I’m doing, we’re doing is one that is so important, the reality of this has far reaching implications in my life or your life and everyone connected be it family or close friends. By making changes to my diet and taking very specific supplements the internal workings are being affected, there are trillions of cells making everything from skin and hair on the outside to blood, lymphatic liquid, enzymes, glands and organs on the inside. If we neglect to provide the necessary nutrition, all of the above simply cannot do the job they were designed to do. So the fact we have this hideous disease which has gradually been getting worse proves that at some point in our lives we’ve failed in providing what our body has needed. Now I’m not saying that by over eating or just by eating nutritionally bereft junk food that we’ve created this disease, absolutely not. But I am saying that completely unbeknownst to us that certain foods have helped perpetuate and exacerbate it. Fortunately some of us have been shown proof that Ann Boroch perfected a way of removing this so called incurable disease completely from our body. The ABP will do it providing we stick to it, in only two months myself and several others are well on the way to doing that. From my own experience as the good stuff, not wanting to get to technical here, but the anti funga’ls, digestive enzymes, adrenal support and the many other supplements and nutrition cause many changes. These are seriously shocking to our day to day functionality,  the disturbance will have its up’s and downs but we have to keep focused on the end result, the slips, the falls, the weakness, the extreme fatigue and depression are only phases they’re temporary so as they happen I know I’m being tested but I also know I’m better than it, multiple sclerosis your days are numbered.

My concerns..

Since starting two months ago I was surprised that the changes necessary for me to follow the ABP were actually not difficult to adapt to as in all honesty there wasn’t that many, it wasn’t a case of adding lots of new foods it was mainly eliminating a few. I am gluten intolerant so the restrictions here were minimal, dairy was already a no, no for me so again not a problem. When I had baked beans which was probably two or three times per week I always drained to sauce first as most of the sugar was in that, so yes I miss my beans on toast. I also loved tomatoes and mushrooms which have now been eliminated. As far as supplements were concerned I think I use the best quality already so I just had to add digestive enzymes, adrenal support and Candida Cleanse, no big deal adding them. So there are a few foods, some treats I miss but in reality how I feel overall by not having them is infinitely better than how I felt having them. The changes I’m making, the improvements I’m having and the absolute certainty in my mind about the fact I am being cured is so freaking wonderful. The title of this post is My Concerns…  hmmmm …..oh yes there’s……. none.

Remember I’ve said before that me writing a post is mainly for my own motivation and inspiration.
