Not easy.
Yesterday I posted that it was too easy to make adjustments, compromises or to take a break because of some justifiable reason or another, yes there are reasons as was told yesterday about Sheri’s son, please accept my apologies, your situation is very different and as I’m sure we all do, he’s in our prayers..
In my particular case, I’ve said I live alone and am lucky and very grateful to have a carer for an hour everyday to make lunch, prepare the various waters for the next day and housework etc. So I’m alone for 23 hours unless my beautiful big sister pops in, she lives 30 miles away but still makes the effort four or five times each week, I love my sister Suzie..
The mornings are best for me, I’m normally awake by 5.45 then tend to read and meditate till about 8.00. I feel good for about 4 hours until the 5 or 6 bathroom visits and getting my supplements in the kitchen wear me out. I say wear me out but what really happens is that I become totally exhausted. Manoeuvring about absolutely drains me and having the dreaded drop foot makes the effort quite dangerous for me, but the arrogant, narcissistic me refuses to give in.
In my younger years I was quite a daredevil, skydiving, scuba diving, hang gliding, mountain biking, rock climbing, plus flying small planes and riding very fast motorbikes were a major part of my life, so having multiple sclerosis has put a serious dent in who I was and what I did. It’s almost as if having multiple sclerosis is a challenge for me, this hideous and so called incurable disease to conventional doctors is daring me…. HAH, armed with the ABP and my arrogance, MS has no chance…my days are exhausting, frustrating and always a challenge….. it’s not easy, far from it but I 100% refuse to be beaten.
Too easy.
When I started this protocol nearly 9 months ago, I’d read the book and listened to advice from Janet, who in hindsight is the only one worth listening to, not family or friends or so called medical experts that in reality know diddly squat when it comes to genuine healing from multiple sclerosis. So at that time, I was how close to healing? oh yes, nowhere near, so I said to myself, “what do I have to lose”, the true answer is nothing to lose, but a life, my life to gain… For those that are healthy that don’t know, don’t truly understand what MS does, then getting life back probably sounds like a good thing but not that big a deal, for us however it’s massive, it’s everything, it’s like winning the jackpot on El Gordo…it really is. That being said, having MS and being given the option of staying sick and getting worse everyday for the next 4 years, or following a protocol and moving closer to life, what would you do. I know what my choice would be, my choice is I’m doing it, no question about it, no excuses, no variations, no, I’ll just have a break over the holidays or when I get back from… or after they go home or whatever… no freaking excuses just do it, it’s roughly 1460 days, some will be tough but most will be good, great, fantastic!!! When things are tough it’s far too easy to make excuses, but those other things are just that… things, not life, just things, look at life and put it into perspective, make a friend or relative feel good for an hour, a day or a week, or move closer to getting your life back. If on day 197 you stop, indulge, party or whatever, when you get back on track you aren’t starting back on day 198… no you are going back to day 1, I’m sorry if this seems harsh but it’s true, I tell it like it is… I honestly believe that in 1,187 days or less I’ll be healed, and that’s my priority….I
Jekyll and Hyde.
Does that seem strange!!! Well it’s like two different people that live in the physical body called Stefan, there’s the me that lived here up until February 2004, the healthy, physically active boy and man.. then all of a sudden with no warning he disappeared only to be replaced by a diseased man. So the two of us live here, tormenting each other, the healthy me of old is trying his hardest to get out again but that freaking diseased dude just won’t let go.. well he’s clinging like crazy not wanting the healthy me to get free.
There’s no doubt in the mind of either one of us that the Ann Boroch Protocol has laid an incredibly strong foundation that will support the healthy me, I firmly believe that this base and the illuminated runway will guide me home, I wasn’t impatient at all until I started to experience a speeding up of the “healing process” about a month or so ago when I increased my daily dosage of CBD oil. Of late the steady and solid daily improvements have…. sort of lit a fire in me, I’m trying to keep my enthusiasm held back. I’ve obviously budgeted for my weekly foods and supplements but not necessarily for the additional CBD oil that I strongly feel is responsible for the more rapid improvements.
As I’ve said before, I’m alone for all but an hour or two everyday, that doesn’t bother me in the slightest, but what it does do is give me a lot of time to think, to ponder about how it will feel to be healthier and capable of physical activity. So the calm, reserved and patient side of me just says, ” relax Stefan, it’ll happen when it happens”, but the other me is shouting, “get more CBD oil and heal sooner rather than later”, who wins, Jekyll or Hyde..
What was..
As I’m coming to the end of my 9th month on the Ann Boroch Protocol (ABP) and I reflect on the improvements since embarking on it, I can feel immense gratitude, initially to my friend Mary that first told me about Ann Boroch and especially to Janet Orchard who has been my guide on this journey.
When I came back to England in November 2012 after 11 years in Colorado, the symptoms had just about got the better of me, I’d become very limited in my mobility, very short distances with a cane, anything more and I was wheelchair bound.
A far cry from the skydiving, hang gliding, scuba diving, mountain biking, rock climbing pilot that I was, yes to say I was a bit of an adrenalin junkie and speed freak was quite an apt description, my last motorbike, a Yamaha FZR 1000 capable of sub 3 second zero to 60 and 155 mph top speed were good friends of mine.
In 2017 my last year eating the wrong foods I would never openly admit it then, but I was really struggling mentally, the pain, exhaustion, frustration and anguish that had become a very large part of my daily life was very close to beating me… as I said, I would never have admitted it at the time but after 13 years since official diagnosis and several before of knowing prior to that, that something was seriously wrong, I was nearly beaten.
September 2017, everything changed, the first two or three months were tough, actually the first was damn hard but probably March, April and May of this year have been good, so I’m very optimistic. I’ve so far had some incredible experiences, then sickness and many years of pain, but ALL of that, the good and bad are what was, history!!!… there are many, many good years and experiences to come… cheers!!!
Always learning.
As I’ve said on numerous occasions, I can understand that my life when looked at from anyone else’s point of view is probably very boring and mundane, I mean I wake early, normally between 5 am and 6am, I check emails, play words with friends or meditate till 8 am then get up. Obviously I have to do the supplements, water and breakfast before my carer comes in at 11.15 to do lunch and replace my drinks, all specific liquids for the following day, so yes it does look a bit boring I suppose.
However.. apart from the above, I tend to read for a couple of hours and try to get a few hours of research done, there’s always something new to know that could possibly help in my lifelong quest for health.
I’ve read Ann’s books and a couple of others by so called “experts” that occasionally have snippets of useful information, the way I see it is that the ABP is the way, of that there’s no doubt, but credible researchers are out there so the old adage “the mind is like a parachute, only works if it’s open” is apt in our situation. I know using cannabis oil was talked about, but it’s only recently that I added it to my daily regimen, thanks again Jeurgen, and by trial and error I’ve gradually increased my daily dosage to four or sometimes five half pipette’s.
I know a lot about safe dentistry, having worked for Dr Huggins for many years and I’m becoming more knowledgeable about the work of Ann Boroch, but what I know now would probably fill her little finger, I’ve a very long way to go, so my life on the face of it might look a little boring, but trust me, it’s not and I’m always learning
Butter or margarine..
From a health standpoint, there is an enormous difference between eating butter and margarine. The only reason to choose margarine would be that you actually prefer the taste to that of butter, and budget is limited. If you don’t want to eat butter for whatever reason, don’t make it worse by eating margarine. With margarine you are just adding one more toxic factor into your bodily environment-a factor that could easily be avoided.
When viewed under a microscope margarine is very close to plastic in its composition, so would you spread plastic on your bread, I don’t think so.
If you were to leave a tub of margarine and a tub of butter in your garden for a few days, what you’d find is that all the butter had been consumed by insects and animals. Whereas the margarine would be untouched even animals and insects wouldn’t touch it.
So I ask you to look differently at the ad’s promoting the plastic they want you to believe is edible, ok yes it is edible but it’s certainly not healthy.
Time..
Looking at the situation I find myself in, or in fact that of anyone suffering with this disease and in my case knowing I’m almost nine months into following the ABP.. the Ann Boroch Protocol, I consider myself to be a very, very lucky man.
Ok let’s step back in time, even just a year, if someone came to me, an MS sufferer for thirteen years at that time, and categorically stated… that if I were to strictly adhere to a plan that I would be healed in four years or less, I think I’d have been so excited but very sceptical about it. As it happens, a friend of mine, Mary in a little town in Wisconsin in the U.S. sent a link to a news story about the mysterious death of Ann Boroch who had healed herself of MS in only four years.
So I bought one of her books “Healing Multiple Sclerosis” and read it in a couple of days. Now it was obvious to me that this was something I had to do. I posted my excited thoughts on Facebook and started to list the additional supplements I’d need and noted foods I could and couldn’t eat.
The next day I received a message on Facebook from someone called ‘Janet Orchard who explained about her connection to the late Ann Boroch and her own personal progress using what is known as the ABP… Any concerns, doubts or scepticism I had completely disappeared, then on September 1st 2017 I embarked on what I know will be the hardest but most rewarding journey of my life.
So back to the question/statement about healing within four years, in hindsight, there is absolutely no need to feel sceptical, I personally think the journey can be split into percentages, my thoughts not a guarantee put into my head by anyone else, just my guesstimation… if I’m sticking rigidly to the protocol.
Year one… 10% improvement, then an additional… 20% in year two, another 30% in year three with the last 40% in year four. After eight and a half months I can easily count 25/30 things that are better, not brilliantly obvious to others but so reassuring to me.
Doing the ABP requires four things, absolute confidence, faith, patience and time.
Cavitations…
I’ve thought long and hard about writing this article, not because it isn’t true but because I know there will be some very shocked people who will doubt what I have to say, but more than anything else this is an article that has to be paid attention to. So what is a cavitation? And why should we all be worried about them. Ok I’ll start by telling you that your teeth attach to the bone via a periodontal ligament. This ligament is formed by six different types of strands that grow between the tooth and the bone, three types grow from the tooth and three types grow from the bone. There are thousands of them all intermeshing to form a shock absorber between the tooth and the bone. When the dentist removes a tooth, part of the ligament, primarily the strands that grow down from the tooth are removed, however the strands that grow from the bone tend to stay attached to the bone and remain in the socket. There is a very complex network throughout your body, passing signals to the brain and organs, the network in your mouth sees that there is still a periodontal ligament, so the message being relayed to the brain is that there is still a tooth. The bone at the end or top of the socket where there isn’t any ligament knows there isn’t a tooth so that part grows over and forms a void in the bone, an airless pocket. Inside this void, is periodontal ligament strands that are decaying, as this happens bacteria grows, not just any bacteria but anaerobic bacteria that can thrive in the absence of air. In the research done by Dr Huggins a couple of decade’s ago, he found bacteria more toxic than Botulism and Tetanus. Now think about yourself or a family member that had a tooth extracted, how is your/their health, so many people go through their lives not realising that the reason they are suffering is because of something in their mouth or teeth specifically. Sadly the biological or holistic dentist isn’t necessarily aware of what a cavitation is, in fact most dentists will tell you they don’t exist. So how do you clean out a cavitation if you have them? and if you’ve had a tooth extracted there is a 99% chance you have them. Well you’ll need to see a dentist that has been through the official training with Dr Huggins, there are about 150 in the USA, probably 5 in the UK, and maybe 10 scattered throughout Australia and South East Asia. I don’t know exactly but I can only hope there are others that have familiarised themselves in his protocols.
Up to you…
When something has been proven, actions that change the way the human body, it’s organs, glands, blood and the trillions of cells react to those changes, it’s now a proven fact…. it’s not an opinion, its fact regardless of who has shown you, that part doesn’t make a difference, a fact is a fact. I consider the years I spent working for Dr Hal Huggins to be the most blessed and influential of my life. I physically saw and experienced some truly amazing things, witnessed life changing things, literally life changing, I’m sure there will be people that will read this who were actual recipients or the providers and it wasn’t neurosurgeons that performed that work, no, it was done by two or three dentists that had worked very closely with Dr Huggins. Dr Stuart Nunnally in Texas and Dr Blanche Grube in Pennsylvania the primary ones. They both dramatically changed the lives of numerous patients, including mine by the way… So when I say there are things, dentistry that has to be done in a specific way, whether it’s the sequential removal of amalgam fillings or the millimetre of bone that has to be drilled out after tooth extraction to avoid creating a cavitation, it’s fact… simple as that… I so often hear the words, “but he’s done it hundreds of times and he knows what he’s doing”…. he/she may have done it hundreds of times, but not necessarily safely. Over a 30 + year period Dr Huggins painstakingly perfected methods used in dentistry that went on to change, improve and save the life of thousands.
When amalgams are removed not following the correct sequential order as categorically proven by Dr Huggins, then 63% if patients develop an autoimmune disease at some point.
A tooth is held in place by the periodontal ligament, there are 6 different types and thousands of them, three growing from the tooth and three growing from the bone. Often when extracted, some ligament remain, if the dentist doesn’t clean out the socket correctly and ensures all ligament is gone, the body thinks the tooth is still in the socket. The bone and gum above heals and forms a “Cavitation”… an airless void in the bone.
I personally am not a dentist and have never done any dental work, but I do have a good understanding of the methods needed for safe dentistry, believe what I say… or don’t, it’s up to you.
So lucky.
When I was diagnosed with this hideous disease, I’d been living and working in Denver, Colorado for two years, I was married and had a great and well paid job. Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis wherever you are is never a good thing but having made the monumental decision to move 5,000 miles away and get married to a woman I barely knew then only two years later to be told was devastating. I refused the help of conventional doctors and set about the supposedly impossible quest of healing myself. Shortly after I was to meet and become the client service director for Dr Hal Huggins, this was to have a massive impact on what I would do and how I would do it. The knowledge and experience I gained helped me and literally thousands of others that I was blessed to come into contact with. I can honestly say that meeting and working with so many leaders and innovators in the field of natural health is something I will always cherish and be so grateful for.
The disease I have, multiple sclerosis in 99% of the cases takes sufferers down a very painful, frustrating and depressing road and as my carers that I see for 1 hr per day have all pointed out that the difference in how I am in comparison to other people they help with MS is like night and day.
Do I have MS… yes
Have I lost everything financially.. yes
But what I do have is genuine quantifiable reasons to believe I’m well on the way to healing myself by following the tried and tested method by Ann Boroch… the ABP.
I am so proud that I had the mental strength and confidence to refuse to take the debilitating drugs they tried their hardest to make me take, the doctors, neurologist’s and other medical professionals all gave me a zero chance of survival let alone healing myself.
Getting multiple sclerosis is horrible but when all said and done I’m so lucky to be me.
