A destination called….
I’ve constantly pointed out that when someone makes the conscious decision to follow the ABP, I say conscious decision because truly making that commitment shouldn’t be taken lightly, you and I have made a promise, not to the person that told you about it, not to your spouse or loved one, not to family or best friend, you’ve (I’ve) made it to yourself….. and I personally don’t break my promises….
A week or so ago I wrote about the commitment I’d made based on what I felt was …. is, positive progress in what I’m doing. I’m trying very hard in my writing to not exaggerate about the positive improvements I’m experiencing, it would be wrong, it would be cruel to do that and I’m a very conscientious person so exaggerating, lying is just something I won’t do…
My thoughts are that I want to replicate the successes of Ann Boroch firstly and many others like Janet Orchard, I hope to give help and inspiration to others that are suffering as I have… multiple sclerosis is a horrendous, hideous disease, it takes away life, sufferers don’t die from it, it’s not a terminal illness, but it does take away the ability and functionality and desire to really live….
So as I’m genuinely improving, I want to share what’s happening to me, what will happen for you if you ignore the foods, drinks, substances and anything else that Ann Boroch advises us to stay away from.
I know that there’s an estimate of the time it will take to remove the Candida, fungus, yeast, sugars and pathogens from our body, be strict and follow her recommendations to the letter and there’s a very good chance that your health will return. However, when starting we have to believe it will happen, but if you’re anything like me then the time it takes is inconsequential, I’m doing it regardless of the time, the journey is indeterminate, it’s the destination that’s defined…..that destination is called Healing…
It doesn’t happen….
I feel strange having that as the title to my post, just saying it makes me feel bad, but as is my way, I’ll explain in time… I’m confident that I’m only eating 100% compliant foods and taking the necessary supplements each day although because I’m never satisfied with my progress I’m always researching for potential improvements. So although 90% of the supplements are consistently taken and have been since day one, there are others that change if and when I notice no improvement.
My groceries are delivered weekly and the orders are very nearly the same, but as I’ve said, I’m okay with this as not only are they compliant, but tasty and nutritionally helpful, so all good there.
As each day goes by, I am often saddened by the fact that the muscles in my legs, my arms, my shoulders… my whole body is aching because of the exercises I’ve done, admittedly it’s nothing in comparison to my younger pre MS self, but then again I’m not a young buck anymore and I’ve had MS for 15 years..
The ABP is working, the Lipospheric Vit C, the bone broth and full spectrum Cannabis oil are all helping but none are miracle workers.
The title of this post is “It doesn’t happen” and that’s true…the ABP is a four year protocol and needs to be strictly followed and the three others I mentioned all help but l must be realistic and accept it takes mental strength, determination and patience.
There’s nothing negative about this post or my feelings, the full title should be “Be patient.. It doesn’t happen overnight…
Because this…..
I’m sure there are many people starting out on the Ann Boroch Protocol that have baked a sponge cake many, many times…. Okay bear with me, there is a point to this…. if you look at a recipe for making a simple sponge cake such as a Victoria sponge you’ll see there are many specifics that absolutely must be adhered to. Just the basics like pre warming the oven, greasing the baking tins and making sure you have the correct oven temperature are just three of the many that must be followed if you don’t want your sponge to sag in the middle.
I was looking earlier at the most common mistakes made by, not just “first timers” but others that haven’t made one for a few years. So how many common mistakes are made when it’s not just a Victoria sponge, what about a special birthday cake, covered in icing sugar or the filling isn’t just strawberry jam and cream..
I remember my first one when I was trying to impress the first of my three ex wives (not proud of that), I hadn’t let the sponges cool long enough so when assembled then covered in icing sugar, the topping just melted and ran down the sides, not a nice sight.
As I said, there is a point to this….. there are a multitude of simple basic errors that are very easy to make when just baking a sponge cake…
My point !!!!! It’s likely that you probably have MS if you’re reading this, also that you’re either doing it now or are considering starting the ABP…the Ann Boroch Protocol. There’s a 99.9% chance you’ve not done it before so please, please read then re-read her books until you genuinely understand how she successfully Healed herself…..please note I wrote Healed not the five letter word beginning with “C”…
So we know that there are many ways to mess up when baking a cake so trust me and others successfully following this protocol, it’s not easy in that the first two months, it will be tough, you’ll doubt yourself many times… if it was just a case of taking a pill, not drinking alcohol, getting plenty of sleep then everyone with MS would be healed but that’s not the case…this is a way of getting your life back if you adhere to her recommendations and understand this isn’t a piece of cake, it isn’t some”fad quick fix” and there’s a multitude of possible errors we all make, so be strong, be diligent, focused and have faith, because this works….
Because I say I will….
If I said I wasn’t competitive I’d be lying, so I won’t say it, the fact is even though I’m an old scouse git, and can no longer participate in any sports or physical activity, I’m still competitive in my head and want to succeed at any challenge… having multiple sclerosis, refusing to give in to it and ultimately beating it is a challenge.
I’ve always believed in myself and I’m a proud man, a man of my word…. so anyone reading the posts on my blog or any of the Facebook groups I post to as well as LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ and Digg will know, I state very clearly that I will heal… I refuse to let this hideous disease beat me….
I’m stating for all to see, and that’s thousands….. literally thousands that I will be completely symptom free no later than the end of 2021… and I will be able to walk a few steps unaided before the end of this year..
I’m a man of my word.. I say what I do and do what I say… the physical side is a major challenge right now, we know MS is supposedly an incurable disease in the eyes of the naysayers and drug pushers that have no interest in healing any disease, they say that no one heals from this….. but guess what, nothing is going to stop me and I will continue doing what’s necessary to heal, how?…by following the ABP, by using Lipospheric Vit C, full spectrum Cannabis oil, bone broth and because I say I will…
Normal…
As I’ve mentioned many times before, the first three months of the ABP are very difficult, the changes that appear as the months go by manifest themselves in a very subtle way, you are struggling one day and then followed by days that aren’t particularly great, it’s just that they aren’t painful or difficult to get through. I personally found that I really appreciated them and felt happy knowing that the progression through my healing journey was on track.
I think if the protocol could be outlined specifically, which it can’t for every participant, then each individual would have a far better chance of succeeding but as I said, it can’t be done that specifically…… why?…. because we are all different… No two MS suffers are exactly the same, their current age, their age when they got this horrid disease, their gender, location and a thousand other variables will influence their progress. But there is a rough guide depending on a multitude of things. I know when I started just over eighteen months ago I had to be strong, I had to reread the books, watch motivational YouTube videos and constantly tell myself to have faith… very difficult especially when it’s not as I was or you’re in a hospital or sterile environment being looked after and meticulously guided by others that know 100% that this works.
I personally feel massively better now than how I did and am absolutely confident of my progress and ultimate success in a couple more years, two more years which is no big deal when looking at the big picture, the one that incorporates living a healthy life. This is the main reason I write my posts, I know this isn’t easy, I know it’s damn hard but I also know that this works and I have to share the potential of this protocol and try to help others that are going through the same things I did.
It’s strange really as I have to pull back in my confidence to ensure that……over confidence doesn’t take control and jeopardize all the improvements that are slowly but surely becoming normal.
Understanding and…
Am I healed… no… have I beaten the extreme weakness… no…. can I walk unaided… no… so after eighteen months on the protocol, should I be upset… definitely no…
During those early months especially the first three, there were times that my determination was severely tested, I’m alone for at least 22 hours each day so the only person to encourage and motivate me….. was me… I have a dream, a goal and I’ve made a promise to myself, the promise is that I will live again… I’m 63 yrs old, in reality even if I was a healthy man I couldn’t expect to live beyond my mid eighties..so what kind of life am I dreaming of… at least twenty-five more good, pain free healthy year’s, I don’t expect to skydive again or scuba or rock climb but I will hike again and mountain bike… not serious technical rides but I will ride.
I was talking to my carer yesterday, she asked me how I was able to be so focused and strict with myself, I explained that nothing else matters in my everyday life…. I just want to be healthy again, in my mind if I truly want it, I’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen, if I don’t, it’s simple…. I didn’t want it enough… after eighteen months I’ve eventually found foods that are not only tasty but genuinely healthy. It might appear boring to others but that’s no big deal to me…
As the months have passed I’m heartened as I’m experiencing positives, things that only eighteen months ago simply weren’t possible, also that knowing in just another six months I’ll be halfway there, now I know, I truly believe that I’ll win the jackpot on Euromillions, it’s definitely happening, I don’t know the exact day, but I know it is… Okay not the lottery per se, but being healthy is better, knowing this is a fantastic feeling and until it happens, the most important thing to have is.. Understanding and Patience
A place called…..
I’m sure everyone that reads my posts knows that I tend to spend a lot of time thinking and researching this horrid disease, the one that millions of others also suffer from… I’m very happy at this time knowing….. Yes…. knowing that the protocol I was told about and have been following for eighteen months along with the three additional things are having a tremendous effect on me.
When looked at by genuine health researchers, not big Pharma who have absolutely no desire to cure any disease as that would reduce the extortionate profits they make by selling drugs that manage symptoms, I’m sure the genuine researchers would be amazed.
Okay no rants, back to my point, I’ve mentioned before that there are more than 37.2 trillion cells in the average human body…. wow… so getting one of the so called incurable diseases means that all of those microscopic cells are infected. Some obviously more so than others, but they’ve all been affected which basically means they aren’t capable of doing the job they were designed to do.
The Ann Boroch Protocol doesn’t cure anything, read that again, the ABP doesn’t cure anything…. what it does do however is correct problems and rebalance’s the wrong that’s occurred through eating and injesting foods, drinks and other substances that have fundamentally abused your body.
Now understand this, I’m not medically trained, I’m not suggesting or asking anyone to do anything, I’m just sharing my opinion, an opinion based on results by following the protocol, physically taking Lipospheric Vit C, bone broth and full spectrum Cannabis oil.
Believe it or not, do what I’m doing if you choose to, or not, it doesn’t affect me, help or benefit me or anyone else, I’m healing….please read that again… I’m healing, it will probably take a couple more years, four or more in total, but it is happening.
Putting this into perspective… the 37.2 trillion cells are healing, that means there are 685,000 cells that the protocol is trying to heal everyday… that my friends is a Big job and one that can easily be thwarted especially in the early days and months. But I know, if you are anything like me or the thousands of others that have gone before, that the odd setback is just a hiccup, a speedbump on this journey to a place called Healing….
Strength of a toddler…
Everyday I go through a ritual where I’m telling myself…. yes telling not necessarily thinking or feeling or knowing that I’m stronger and more capable than the previous day. This is part of my personal brainwashing, I have to believe in what I’m doing, I have to be 100% committed that regardless of how I feel at that particular moment that the Ann Boroch Protocol, the Lipospheric Vit C, the cannabis oil and bone broth are working, it’s not a quick fix scheme, it’s a lifestyle change and it’s going to be like walking up a down escalator. It’s happening, I am going up….. slowly.. to start it was one up but two down, after eighteen months it’s improved significantly, now it’s two up and one down. Accepting this and the rare but possible switch is a little hard to take especially when I’m having so many positives..
Monday for instance was a classic example…. this last week has been great in that I’ve been feeling so good which has resulted in me trying to do things I shouldn’t, y’know like taking less paces between things I should be holding for balance. In the morning I unlocked the front door and considered sitting outside, but I wasn’t exactly dressed for it so came back in, it was nice feeling the wind on my face.
Anyway at lunchtime while Kay my carer was preparing lunch I went to the bathroom to use a catheter…. yes I know I’m a sad man, while standing in front of the loo I had one of those complete body stretches, I felt I was losing my balance and grabbed at a handrail, sadly it wasn’t properly attached to the wall and pulled away. It was like my life passed in front of my eyes in slow motion as I fell backwards. Fortunately my butt took the brunt of the fall, yes it hurt but I’m ok.
So this accident put what’s happening into perspective for me…all the things I’m doing are definitely helping, I just have to accept it’s going to take time, small steps, acceptance and appreciation.
Appreciation that it is happening and acceptance that at this time I’m in a man’s body but I have the strength of a toddler…
Matters……
Life to the majority of people revolves around family and work, how to pay the monthly bills or doing the weekly shop, the presents to buy for loved one’s when a birthday or Christmas is approaching, y’know…. the everyday demands of living a life… frustrating, annoying, worrying and fantastic at times, but it’s accepted as normal because it’s everyday occurrences for most people. It’s different when you have a life changing disease as I have, mine is multiple sclerosis but I’m sure other people have an equally difficult time with other serious health problems.
We see things differently, we don’t have a great deal of money and little opportunity to generate more of it, we don’t have jobs so can’t work overtime or have other ways of earning a little extra. It’s a set income like disability benefits and I’m so lucky and grateful to have that.
Before starting the Ann Boroch Protocol 18 months ago I wasn’t really sure the life I had was worth living… it consisted of very little sleep, pain, discomfort, going to the loo twenty five times each day, oh yes and more pain… not a great incentive to look forward to. However… in September 2017 I’d read “Healing Multiple Sclerosis” by Ann Boroch and started following her life changing protocol.
So the existence I had is a thing of the past, now I am truly happy about what I’m doing, yes the supplements are many and must be taken everyday, my weekly online shop is probably 90% the same which means my food intake can be a tad boring…
But I see things very differently to most people, I’m lucky in that my regular bills are covered by my benefits, I don’t have spare or holiday money but those things aren’t on my mind, of course I miss being outside, I miss going for a drive, going out for a pub lunch and lots of other things, but in reality I don’t think about them because I know they will happen in time, just not now…
I have to focus on one thing and one thing only, being sick with this disease, not living but existing is of no interest to me, I have to prioritize, following the ABP and being able to Live again is what matters to me now.
I’m winning…….
Whenever it was that you were told by the sad faced neurologist that you had a disease called multiple sclerosis, which according to the world of Allopathic medical professionals is an incurable disease, I’m sure you, as I was, felt very sad. It’s explained that this particular disease has been researched and researched by pharmaceutical giants the world over and they’ve all come to the same conclusion….. there’s no known cure!!!. So you’re told to accept their prognosis, come to terms with it… take the drugs and be a good boy/girl… how condescending is that….
As I’m sure you’ve read, I personally don’t subscribe to that defeatist attitude…. I’ve researched a great deal, I’ve physically tried at least a hundred different specialist supplements, various therapies and operations including a full dental revision, body chemistry rebalancing and CCSVI. Some have helped and kept me 100% drug free for 15 years, others sadly did nothing but lighten my wallet, but as I’ve said before, those things simply showed me some of the many ways it doesn’t work.
Eighteen months ago I started what does work, the Ann Boroch Protocol and I’m 100% committed to it and know I’ll be healed before 2022….read those words… Healed!!!
Every second of everyday, the diseased cells in your body, all 37.2 trillion are working to perpetuate the sickness and make your life a misery… however…. as I said, I don’t go along with the blatant lie of multiple sclerosis being incurable. The protocol requires a lifestyle change, foods that should be avoided, supplements that should be taken, I do this, but I’m taking it to what appears to be a step further.
I’ve been taking full spectrum Cannabis oil for a few months, mega dosing Lipospheric Vit C for two months and I’ve restarted bone broth this week. The reality is that I’m feeling better overall than I have for several years, I know I’ve a long way to go but I’m so optimistic.
It’s a daunting task especially when you know that for 86,400 seconds of each year the 37.2 trillion diseased cells are fighting to stop the good things I’m doing, so it’s easy to be temporarily confused, it’s challenging, it’s damn well frustrating, it’s non stop, it’s me against the world’s medical professionals, but guess what……
I’m winning.
