Why…
I started on the Ann Boroch protocol in September 2017 because I honestly believed I wanted to be healthy again, do I think I’m better or more deserving than the millions of other MS sufferers?…. No… But in reality no-one deserves to suffer with this hideous disease.
So when I read “Healing multiple sclerosis” I just knew I’d have to try my best, actually that’s not true, I knew I had to do it, not try, to try is always giving yourself the option of giving up because it was just too hard.
Nothing good or great or fantastic is easy to achieve , if it was then no-one in the world would have a disease and everyone would be healthy and fantastically wealthy.
As an aside note, I have the greatest respect for the medical profession per se, it’s the pariahs known as big Pharma that are ruining lives, there’s me ranting and getting distracted.
As anyone on the ABP knows the first few months are hard, and I’m sure the majority of those that gave up, did so during the first three months, because after that it’s so much easier and so rewarding as the improvements happen.
Regardless of the speed junkie, thrill seeking lifestyle I had before the worst symptoms of MS started, I absolutely believe that restoring health is definitely achievable if you’re willing to do what’s necessary and if being healthy means enough.
It does mean enough to me, I will do what’s necessary and I Will once again be healthy, how do I know, because my name is Stefan and I don’t give up,
That’s Why
Happy..
The celebration that happens on he anniversary of your birthday is traditionally a time of happiness, as I’ve moved beyond the age of those special achievement’s such as the 21st birthday which for me was a very long time ago, even my 40th or the dreaded 50th are distant memories.
So these days are nothing special anymore, they’ve just days.
Today however is different.. Today is my sixty fourth birthday…. Considering that as a 16 year old I really didn’t expect to make it to 50, at that time I’d done nearly a thousand skydives, I was a hang glider, scuba diver, mountain biker, rock climber and a pilot plus a lot of other things, so I’ve done much more than I expected.
But this day has much more meaning to me because my health is improving daily which obviously makes me very happy and optimistic for the future.
It’s not just my physical health that’s improving, it’s my attitude, my emotional well-being that’s take a massive step forward because something has happened that I thought would never happen.
What could that be?….
I’m so lucky to be genuinely loved and in love with an amazing and beautiful woman, and I can say this makes me very happy..
How do I feel?
The end of my 25th month is only 8 days away and the progress I’m making is going to plan, on saying that, I honestly believe that the disease had taken an extremely firm grip before I started the protocol so to have achieved the progress I’ve had is in my opinion, extremely good.
Over the last three or four days I feel I’ve taken a big step forward, I’m nowhere near as tired as I was only a month ago, and then I was significantly better than the previous year. I get frustrated with myself because I constantly try to do more than my MS body is capable off. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m still sick… There is part of my brain that keeps remembering what I did and forgets it’s not what I can do now. So it’s annoying when I find myself in a precarious position, gripping the handrails or door frame as if my life depended on it because I know I’ve tried to do more than I should and I’m about to collapse and crash and burn. So healing the body, the brain and removing the toxins that have accumulated and taken up permanent residence is a long term project. It’s happening, of that there isn’t a smidgen of doubt. Doing this as we know is a long process, it’s clearly documented and proven….. Yes Proven.
Healing the body, happens… re-educating muscle memory will require a less stubborn mind, which I have…
So after two years and one month, how do I feel….
Good…….very good!!!!!
There’s no…
As I mentioned in my previous post the prognosis from the last two neurologists were very different, the first in 2012 after I’d returned from the USA told me there was nothing that could be done, a sort of “get your affairs in order”. She told me that I was Stage 4… and there was no medication that could help. The last I saw in 2016 said.. “Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s helping”…
At that time I was using the knowledge I’d gained over a four year period working for the late Dr Hal Huggins, this was not MS specific but it was to return the body chemistry to homeostasis.
When I started following the Ann Boroch protocol in September 2017, I struggled big time initially as everyone will do. Living alone and at a perilous stage made my challenge so much harder but I’d made a commitment to myself and no hideous disease was going to get the better of me.
I don’t consider myself better than anyone else, but I do know I lived an incredibly physical life prior to MS and in order for me to return to that state, albeit 20 years later I would have to be strong mentally.
Following the protocol can be hard, a little boring from a dietary standpoint, it can be frustrating, it will take you to a very demanding and challenging place, it asks very hard personal questions, but trust me when I say it’s definitely worth it and there’s definitely no room for doubts. How is it done? Do it right…
There’s no if’s or buts…
Ha…!!!!
According to the powers that be, the so called experts of the medical world, y’know the ones that tell you to give up and just take the drugs, I haven’t always been so sarcastic but these people just really p××× me off. Back to my point, there are 4 stages of multiple sclerosis that they work off, and depending on the stage there is a variety of DMD’s disease modifying drugs you can be prescribed.
Four disease stages of phases have been identified in multiple sclerosis:
Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS), and secondary progressive MS (SPMS.
The last of these stages is sometimes referred to as stage 4…this is when they say there’s nothing that will help, no drugs in their arsenal can change or improve your condition.
I was originally diagnosed in February 2004, I’ve never taken any drugs for MS, even though the.neurologist said I would be in a wheelchair permanently within six months of I didnt, fifteen years later I’m not in a wheelchair.
The first neurologist I saw when I’m came back to England told me I was Stage 4 so no medication would help, I tried not to laugh in her face for two reasons, obviously I wouldn’t take the drugs and because of her defeatist attitude.
All I want to say to the doctors and neurologists is HA !!!!
Go I….
When I started writing my blog (www.Ratherbehealthy.com) in 2012 it was because I wanted to share the knowledge and experience I’d gained working as the client service director for Dr Hal Huggins who at the time was the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry re-balancing. So in my eyes it was the right thing to do and I enjoyed helping others, I talked with more than 17,000 people, many of whom became patients and were helped significantly. Because a great deal of them had what was considered to be incurable diseases, I know thousands benefited from either just the support or guidance or counselling I provided, some went on to have treatment guided by Dr Huggins and benefited from life changing results, as I’m sure you can imagine my involvement was incredibly fulfilling to me.
Anyway, the focus of my blog shifted in September 2017 when I personally started on the Ann Boroch protocol which in all honesty is changing my life.
Over the past twelve years from when I was in Colorado in the USA and then answering questions on my blog from people all over the world and now through the group’s I’m part of, I realize there are so many people in a far worse condition than me. Some because of where they live or what they believe or choices they’ve made. Whatever it was, I know that so many have five hopes of being healed, Bob Hope, periscope, antelope, envelope and No Hope…Why…. Because they’ve taken medication (drugs) that do nothing good long term and have serious side effects or/and simply don’t believe in the truth. I feel terrible for those people and will do whatever I can to help. Then I think…
There but for the grace of God go I…
Speed bumps.
As I’ve now completed two years in this unique journey that is a four year plan, I’m feeling confident that I’m reasonably well versed in what should and shouldn’t be eaten, no problems there. Knowing these things and being halfway into it, you’d have the opinion that I know what I’m doing… Yes… But not so confident in how the evil disease is always looking for me… or anyone doing this to make a bad decision of become complacent.
A week or so ago I decided to restart Anti fungals..my reasoning behind this decision was that maybe after two years there’d be a buildup of certain fungi and possibly yeast, so a month of AF’s would help.
On Monday I started, on Tuesday is noticed my face had become a little spotty, I also noticed the afternoon weakness had become a lot worse, it wasn’t a case of being a little weaker after lunch, no, it had become extreme fatigue, complete exhaustion, I couldn’t even sit up or raise an arm.
The same frightening thing happened today…so no more AF ‘s, so hopefully I won’t be as bad tomorrow and my skin will no longer think it belongs to a spotty teen.
After two years I’m getting better, of that I have no doubt and I’m coming to terms with the knowledge that this hideous disease will never give up and use every dirty trick possible to lead me and you back to a very dark place. I for one will never let MS get the better of me, fatigue, weakness of exhaustion are on this road to health, but I know they are just….
Speed bumps
But what if.
I can imagine that if someone totally new to this that either has multiple sclerosis or has a friend or loved one suffering with it, when reading my posts or one from Janet Orchard who knows significantly more than me that they would be very sceptical..
We talk so positively about the Ann Boroch protocol (ABP) and how this can heal the body in around four years, I say heal specifically and not cure because we are referring to two different things.
“The term “cure” means that, after medical treatment, the patient no longer has that particular condition anymore. Some diseases can be cured. Others, like hepatitis B, have no cure. … Medical professionals use medicine, therapy, surgery, and other treatments to help lessen the symptoms and effects of a disease”
That Wikipedia description says it exactly… “No cure, so their drugs lessen the symptoms”…
The ABP is healing “the body” after the cause of the symptoms has been removed, now it might seem inconceivable that the efforts of one woman, Ann Boroch, God rest her soul, could better that of the trillion dollar giants of the pharmaceutical industry. But it’s true, big Pharma is only interested in one thing, could that possibly be to help mankind? no… It’s their own profit…those pariahs are not going to eliminate customers that take their drugs every day of their lives.
Drugs treat symptoms and create other problems that require more drugs to ease or lessen the additional problems. Big Pharma doesn’t have patients…. They have a never ending supply of customers.
The readers of my posts might think I’m being unfair to these people, but think about it…
What if I’m right…
