Rather Be Healthy

In February of 2004 I’d been living just outside Denver in the Rocky mountains for two years after moving there from England.
I had a great job in the computer software industry, I loved my work dealing with companies on the East Coast, my main customers were New York City Parks and Recreation and NYC Transport, I also dealt with similar departments in Boston and Pennsylvania, they were two hours ahead in Eastern standard time so I had to be in my office by 6.a.m. to deal with them at 8.a.m. their time, but I loved what I did.
A month after being diagnosed with MS I was to attend a trade show for NYC Parks and Recreation in Queen’s..NY.
At that time my symptoms weren’t obvious to anyone but me, a little weaker and slightly unstable but as I said not obvious to onlookers.
Sadly over the next year I became more aware of my limitations so started searching for a less stressful job.
I read about an amazing man called Dr Hal Huggins who was the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing. His work with MS patients and mercury amalgam fillings and had made a significant improvement in their health which lead me to meeting Dr Huggins, being interviewed then accepting the offer of work as his client service director.
That was in 2007 and over the next 4 yrs was able to learn so much and to help literally thousands of people which made me a very proud and happy man.
By the end of 2011 my symptoms, primarily weakness and instability became too obvious which made me a liability to the company because of the work we did.
I left the company, mutual agreement, sort of, and found desk jobs elsewhere until it just wasn’t physically possible to work anymore.
I returned to England to be near family and hopefully get some sort of disability benefits as I’d none in the States and used all my savings.
Four yrs later I came across the Ann Boroch Protocol and started meticulously following the protocol in September 2017.
As far as I’m personally concerned, the only really obvious symptoms to me is stress which affects me more than at anytime in my previously physical and working life, in that it exacerbates my leg weakness, my weak bladder, co-ordination and grip strength.
But the fact I had a fall that seriously damaged my knees which has resulted in being bedridden since last March has definitely restricted my progress.
I was walking with the aid of handrails and furniture. Because of the pandemic I’ve not been able to have any physio or surgery so I’m sure you can imagine the muscle atrophy in my thighs.
But as far as I’m concerned this is just a blip, a speedbump on the road to recovery.
It’s literally 3 yrs 5 months since starting on the ABP but in all fairness I can take a year off the total time, being in bed unable to move around has been a significant hindrance to my four year plus plan.
So getting to the title of this post, I’m not healed yet but in comparison to where I was and would be if I’d not found the ABP…

……..I’m significantly better…

It’s a well known thing that if something seems too good to be true, then it probably isn’t… true…
There are so many things in life that other people have but you don’t, that just seems… unfair, I mean why is it that this person or that person just appear to be “soooo lucky”.. they could fall over on a cow pat and get up smelling of roses but others just try lots of things but just don’t succeed, their business isn’t successful or they could never finish that book they started writing years ago.
In life you find that everyone is good at something, but you can say but I’m not interested in “needlework” or making “scrapbooks” or “getting fit”… its horses for courses…
But what if you were told that by doing that strange hobby of routine was actually very good for you, that you’d make lots of money or find your whole life would be soooo much better, the only problem was that it wouldn’t be easy, you’d have to really work hard at it, you’d have to overcome personal desires and preferences but your world would change, wouldn’t you do it?…
Yes you would obviously…
Now relate that analogy to your personal health, in my case I was one of those people that was very much an adrenaline junkie… I loved fast motorbikes and fast cars, I was fit, I skydived and rock climbed, not hobby’s liked or participated in by many people..
Then in 2004 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis so I went from being a fit and healthy man to the complete opposite.
As I’ve said before I’ve researched and researched trying to find a way of beating this disease in a non pharmaceutical way, not that any pharmaceutical can genuinely beat the disease.
I started on the Ann Boroch Protocol in September 2017 and have painstakingly followed the protocol.
I’ve no glaringly obvious symptoms, my legs are weak but that primarily can be attributed to being confined to my bed where I’ve been for almost a year because of a fall.
But even though that in itself is depressing and frustrating it hasn’t stopped me from sticking to compliant foods, I haven’t binged on tasty mouth watering snacks or fish n chips and mushy peas or several others yearned for by my taste buds…
Why?
Because I have set myself a goal, I’ve committed myself to being healthy again..
Is it easy…no!!!

But is it achievable….Yes!!!!

When I look back to the problems I was experiencing after I’d just moved to live and work in Colorado in the USA back in 2002, I wasn’t just shocked but really, really frightened.
It was quite an emotionally stressful time as I’d met and married a Colorado native and was working in the computer software industry, stressful in itself but then to be told I had multiple sclerosis, a disease considered to be incurable definitely made me feel sad to say the least.
My attitude in everything I’ve done in life, be it work or play is to be optimistic, some people might chose to see “the glass half empty” but I really see no point in what I consider a negative defeatist attitude.
So upon diagnosis after refusing to take the neurologists advice to take what they call medicine… hah!!! just pure and simply pharmaceutical drugs that mask a symptom. I spent hours and hours, whenever I could searching for potential ways of beating this hideous disease.
Between 2004 and 2017 I must have tried more than 50 different things, including ccsvi, full dental revision, body chemistry rebalancing, bee venom therapy, numerous dietary changes, hydrochloric acid treatment, XanGo, Aloe Vera and lots and lots of so called miracle supplements.
So when I Read “Healing Multiple Sclerosis ” by Ann Boroch in August 2017 I tried to not get too excited but I couldn’t control my enthusiasm because the ABP seemed so much more real than anything I’ve tried or read about before.
I started September 1st and experienced what everyone else does during the first three months, as in a really difficult time feeling good and horrendously bad every few days, but rather than accepting the really depressing experience as a negative and giving up, I took the advice of a woman that was successfully following the protocol and persevered.
If looked at purely from a timescale perspective it would mean I have been following the protocol for three years and five months, but I had a nasty fall in March last year which has knocked me back somewhat, I’ve been bedridden for 11 months and not been able to furniture walk or exercise as I did.
Anyway I feel very positive and optimistic about being able to focus on my genuine healing.
So the question I ask myself now is can I do it? You can bet you your last dollar on it that the answer is..
Yes I can..

Youre right…
Having multiple sclerosis is a pig, its depressing, its debilitating its frustrating and contrary to what most others think….its so humiliating… From my own point of view I was a very active man both physically and in business, I wasn’t mega successful in either but definitely more so than most.
So having in this hideous disease has significantly changed my life, not being able to physically do the most fundamental of things has limited my very desire to live… that is how I believe the majority of sufferers think. But I see things very differently, I have a very different view on life, as far as I’m concerned I’m faced with two options, option one is to accept the depressing negative opinion that MS is incurable, once you have it you can either take drugs that mask the problem, they fool your mind and body by stopping the symptoms from being recognised. That method is great short term but stronger and stronger drugs will only work for a limited time before they have no effect and the symptoms become so bad the individual goes from seeming okay to suffering really badly.
Option two… is the choice I’ve made, to be optimistic and to believe in myself, to believe in the ABP..the Ann Boroch Protocol was designed to identify and eliminate the foods that have caused this hideous disease.
Yes, I’ve had a fall that seriously damaged my knees which completely stopped me from walking, being bed bound since March last year has resulted in severe muscle atrophy in my legs.
But, as far as I’m concerned, this is just a road block which I have to get around or over or under but I will do it.
The way I see it is to either be negative to give up and accept the bad..
Or to think positive and genuinely beat it… I….you…have two options..think about it..
If you think you you will lose or if you think you will win..
Youre right..
