Trust me, I’m not…

As I was saying in an earlier post, our bodies are made up of cells, 37 trillion of them… to put that into perspective is very difficult for anyone to genuinely comprehend..
Most people know when amounts of money are involved when the term “Millionaire or Billionaire” are mentioned, a thousand million’s is a billion…… so, a thousand billion is a trillion…
Now think about that in terms of the average life span of a human, let’s say that is 75 years, that means there are 1.8 billion cells for every day in your life….

Whats that got to do with this post? I’m just attempting to put the number of cells that make up the human body into perspective.

Everything in your body is made-up of cells, the cells are generated, re-generate and de-generate as we age depending on nutrients we put into the body… the cells don’t have a hidden agenda or opinion or are influenced by taste or smell, they just are!!!!… simple….

Every organ has a job to do, they aren’t there to fill in spaces, they are there specifically to enable the body to function efficiently. Sadly because of various reasons which have just been accepted as human nature, foods, drinks, other substances and actions that appeal to our taste buds and desires have gradually restricted the efficacy of the organs in our body, resulting in sickness, disease and premature death…. you, me, everyone is guilty of succumbing to these.

Okay, now I’ll hopefully get to the point of this post, which is the muscle and connective tissue, ligaments and tendons which are made from proteins, the proteins are amino acids, we are talking about billions of amino acids, 22 different types, 13 of them can be made, synthesised by the body from foods we eat, but the other 9 specifically need to be added so they are referred to as essential, these have the letter “L” in front when naming them, they are made up of cells…I’m getting there…. trying to explain this in a non medical-speak way so everyone can understand isn’t easy so please bear with me.

That terrible fall I had and being in a position where both legs were twisted beneath me for an hour and a half has resulted in being bedridden since the week before lockdown in March. Trying to build muscle in my thighs is nigh on impossible knowing the damage done to my knees. But having done so much research (being confined to bed enables that) on Amino acids, specifically the nine essential ones, has encouraged me to include them into my daily regimen.
I’ll just clarify that, regardless of what certain naysayers and negative people think, the Ann Boroch Protocol is healing my body of multiple sclerosis, this is happening and that is a fact.. its not my opinion, its a FACT…..
The amino acids I’m taking are specifically the nine essential ones, these are: Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, 
threonine, tryptophan, and valine, I’m taking 5 tablets three times daily.
In only three full days I’m seeing very positive improvements, its as if I can actually feel changes taking place in my thighs and my knees.
Again, the ABP is healing my body of MS, the essential amino acids are building the specific proteins that are rebuilding the damaged connective tissue and generating muscle, thats not my opinion, its happening, I’m so confident of this that I genuinely believe I’ll be out of bed walking, with the aid of a walker within two weeks….. two flipping weeks, after over seven months confined to bed…
So I’m putting my money where my mouth is…two more weeks and I’ll be writing specifically about the incredible changes…


Trust me, I’m not a doctor…

But I’m still…

But I’m still…

Seven months is a long time, well its not when considered in comparison  to a life span, or the length of time it takes to walk from Lands End to John O’Groats..but when thought of as being confined to bed, which I have it is a long time.
Seven months ago I had a nasty fall that resulted in some serious damage to both knees.
So apart from 30 minutes in the bathroom each day, my lockdown has been in my bed.
Yesterday was good and bad, I actually went out for the first time in 22 months, experiencing cool, cold fresh air was soooo good, I was taken in an ambulance to Bassettlaw hospital which is about 25 minutes away for an x-ray on both knees.
As I’ve said before I have what I consider to be a Hummingbird bladder, water passes my lips and minutes later it leaves…. not wants to leave, but leaves regardless of where I am, so I made significant changes in the quantity of water I drank in the morning before I left. I know that a lack of water is terrible for me, I knew I could get very weak with limited water and lack of electrolytes.
That was the second good part, as in I didn’t need to “go” while out.
The bad part was when I got home, I live in a 350 yr old converted barn which is lovely.
My bedroom is downstairs but because of a chest of drawers and my bed it wasnt possible to get the wheelchair close.
So one of the guys, not paramedics, went infant to help me off the wheelchair and onto my bed…
Uh oh… what happened was I stood but because of a lack of water and added electrolytes primarily, my legs buckled beneath me, the pain was excruciating for what seemed an eternity until the second guy could get over the wheelchair. The noise coming out of my mouth must have sounded horrendous to my poor sister watching.
They eventually got me onto and into bed,  I was in quite a lot of pain for several hours yesterday but okay…ish today.
I’ve worn a very strong knee brace for part of the day which has helped a great deal and I was able to get out of bed and onto the comode without help, and fortunately I’m not in pain today.

I think it will be a couple of weeks before I see results of the x-ray and unlikely to have an operation this year, but this is just a speedbump on my road to recovery and has nothing to do with the life changing problem I’m dealing with..
I’m not sure multiple sclerosis has ben talked of as a problem I’m dealing with, the world of medicine think of it as an incurable disease. Not me or thousands of others currently following or have  successfully completed the Ann Boroch Protocol.
Yes Seven months being confined to bed has been a pain in the proverbial.
But this is me so I’m looking at the big picture, it might take a little longer to heal than I originally thought…..
But I’m still optimistic
