Rather Be Healthy

Different things…

Waking up each morning to most people is a blessing, to some unfortunately who are subject to the pain, discomfort and limitations of disease it might be perceived in a completely opposite way. But….it doesn’t have to be like that, I’m very much a glass half full type of person, as I’ve written before that after my original diagnosis in February of 2004 I scoured the Internet, read books and talked to as many specialists in what is mistakenly called “Alternative medicine” to find a way of beating this so called incurable disease.
I just refuse to accept what the drug pushers, sorry doctors believe to be true..
They say that multiple sclerosis is incurable…. No!!!! that classification isn’t true, they just haven’t found a way yet… the trillion dollar pariahs, big pharma just want to milk the cash cow of disease for as long as possible.
In August of 2017 I read a book by Ann Boroch called Healing Multiple Sclerosis.. it changed my life, I started on the Ann Boroch Protocol in September 2017 and am so grateful to Janet Orchard for all her help and guidance.
Is the protocol a quick fix…No…
Is it easy…No…
Does it work…Yes…damn right it does..
So going back to the heading, yes waking up in the morning can be perceived as the start of a painful and frustrating day, I choose to see it as a glass hall full sort of way..
Being sick and the victim of disease or being sick but following the ABP are two very different things…

You are right…

Okay I’ll start this post with a fact, no sorry, I’ll start this post with two facts: firstly that the Ann Boroch Protocol is hard, damn hard… and secondly is also a fact but a fact that is even more important…. what is it…its that the protocol works!!!

Looking back to the day I actually started which was what I consider my new life day was September 1st 2017… so it could be said that I’ve been on the protocol for three years and eight months…am I walking again?.. No..
Am I nearly healed from this hideous life sucking disease?…No…
But….and this is a big But …
Thirteen months ago I had a fall, not so much as a fall but a collapse because of standing in the same position for several minutes and being stupidly and stubbornly trying to reach for something on the floor, my legs gave up first and I ended up in the most precarious of positions with my knees bent beneath me…the pain just collapsing and having my legs bent and twisted beneath me was excruciating as I’m sure you can imagine, but it gets worse because I was alone in my house, stuck like that, silently screaming in pain not for a few seconds or minutes but for one and a half hours…
Then after a carer arrived I was eventually able to have my legs straightened but had to stay on the floor for an additional four and a half hours before the paramedics arrived…
Taking this painful experience into consideration and that I’ve been stuck in bed since, which was the week before lockdown last year, I don’t think of myself as actively benefitting from the protocol as I would have been. I would have been able to exercise a lot more and walk with the aid of handrails etc…so it’s more like two and a half years but regardless of that I’m very optimistic about my future.
We all have problems, obstacles, road blocks and sometime justifiable reasons, well justifiable in our weakened mind that this is just too hard, but as I said at the start… it is damn hard but it does work…
So it all comes down to you…its not what I say or Janet says or Ann said…its You!!!
You have the facts… yes Facts not hearsay or supposition…fact..the bottom line is, if think think you can’t do this or if you believe you can do it…
You are right…

Because of that horrible fall last year it sort of put my healing via the amazing Ann Boroch Protocol on hold. I’ve stayed on the compliant foods obviously but I feel I’ve been knocked back both emotionally and physically. I am confident that I would have improved my leg strength and stability significantly based on my previous experience, so if it wasn’t for my determination….that could be thought of as me just being stubborn but I personally consider it in a positive way, if it wasn’t for “that” I’m sure I would have suffered massively from a mentally depressive point of view, but I’m a “deal with it” sort of guy…
In my view there’s no point in adopting the ” poor me attitude….
So apart from about 45 mins everyday I’ve been in bed since the week before lockdown in March…….Last year…
I’ve tried to do one form of exercise almost every day, my upper body strength is good and I’m quite pleased by the improvement in my core strength. Its my legs that are the main problem, after a long conversation with the knee surgeon it was mutually agreed that if I’ve not significantly improved by the end of May I’ll have a knee replacement.
The specific leg exercises I’m doing are really helping..less than a month ago I was able to stand 6 times repeatedly, I’m now doing 50 plus on a regular basis.. the last three were 51, 55, 51…
I personally believe that I’m getting so close to walking

Over the years since my original diagnosis in February 2004 I, like many others I’m sure have done masses of research on the Internet and reading books specifically on the subject of the disease I was told was now dominating and controlling the trillions of cells in my body.. the general perception of every traditionally trained medical professional is that the disease is incurable.
For the initial few months of research I was always getting the same response from the so called experts, I struggled to maintain a positive attitude, the people “in the know” all wanted to make the sufferer strong and to just accept the prognosis given to everyone that had been told they had multiple sclerosis.
In all honesty I know they themselves actually believed that MS is incurable… yes it is… if…. if you accept that MS is a disease….but if you have stepped out of the traditional, restricted box that western medicine lives in, then its very obvious and plain to see that their limited view isn’t true…
When someone is diagnosed with this disease it wasn’t done by seeing specific markers that wave flags and shout…” hey look at me…. I’m the MS bug”… no, they tell you that you have an incurable disease because they don’t have a pharmaceutical drug to fix it…..why is that I wonder? ..
It’s because various organs in the body have been negatively effected and prevented from doing the job they were designed to to, this has happened primarily by foods and drinks and other ingested things..such as drug use.
So when a neurologist tests you and can see damage to the brain, poor eyesight, contaminated blood, organs incapable of performing basic tasks and severe muscle
atrophy. They group them all together and call it MS…
They prescribe drugs to address individual issues, but never genuinely attempting to rectify the root cause….
But what some of us now know is that an amazing woman who had been diagnosed with this “so called incurable disease ” actually healed…. yes Healed herself by eliminating the offensive causes.
Her therapy is called the Ann Boroch Protocol and has been successfully followed by thousands.
The number of people that currently have MS in the world is roughly 2.3 million…
As I’ve said, those figures and the prognosis from “experts”.. hah!!!
would be quite depressing… but we know differently and have a completely different mindset..
Why?
Because we just know about the ABP…

Looking back on my 65 years of being alive I think that I’ve done okay considering…
Being born in Liverpool in 1955 wasn’t easy… I was the third of seven who during that time lived in a two bedroom house with no bathroom.
The toilet was in the 15 by 12 foot backyard… basically three single skin walls and a door surrounding a toilet and pull chain cistern that froze in winter.. Needless to say it wasn’t used after 7.00 p.m. when it was cold…anyway…
After leaving regular school at 15 yrs old I joined the army and attended the Army Apprentice College in Chepstow South Wales where I took my degree in Building Construction and Building Science, I also qualified for my City and Guilds in Carpentry and Joinery then became a Combat Engineer in the Royal Engineers..
After leaving the army I had my own business doing Small works in Cambridge.
I worked in sales and sales management initially in photo copiers then the I.T. industry for almost 40 years.
I took and passed my car driving licence, then my motorcycle licence.
I took my Heavy goods class 3, then Hgv class 2 and Hgv class 1..
Many years later I passed my Private pilots licence…a PPL..in 43 hours, the national average in the USA is 75 hrs..
I trained for my helicopter licence but ran out of money.
I qualified for my glider pilots licence as well.
I lived almost eleven years in the beautiful state of colorado and was the Client Service Director for the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing.
So I’ve done a bit, but my achievements so far will all pale into insignificance because, in 2004 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, what the world of medicine consider to be an incurable disease but I’m well on the way to changing that..
I’m following the Ann Boroch Protocol and am confident the disease will be forced out of my body, which is great because I’ve lots more to do…

Since having the fall that completely messed up my knees, actually the damage and problems it caused deserve a far more descriptive word than “messed” up but this isn’t the place to use it. Anyway that happened thirteen months ago which basically means that apart from a 45 to 60 minute bathroom break each day I’ve been in bed for over a year…
I know there are many others who’ve been confined for longer but I’m describing my own personal situation.
Looking back to March 2020 I really didn’t think I’d be laid up for so long so I’ve drawn deeply on my personal resolve to stay active in my mind by reading, researching and quizzing as much as possible.
The physical negative effects of being bedridden have meant using several different ointments and eventually finding one that’s more effective than the industry standard of Cavilon…
Another seriously negative aspect has been muscle atrophy in my thighs, the damage done to the meniscus in my right knee has limited any constructive movement.
It’s very much a catch22 situation, the muscle takes up the slack when the knee is damaged but being bedbound has meant the thigh muscle is neither use nor ornament at this time…. oh bugger it looks like my backside and my bed are going to be close companions for a long time…
Or are they?
I bought one of those small pedal machines and although I used it for a couple of weeks there didn’t appear to be any improvement. So I came up with another plan… while sitting on my bed, my carers moved the commode so the back was facing me then they put some weight on the arms. I then stood up holding the back of the commode, the fist time I was able to do six before my legs were exhausted.
Now this is why I’m excited, each day I’ve pushed myself to do more.
The progress has been like this:
Day 1……… 6
Day 2……… 8
Day 3……… 10
Day 4……… rest
Day 5………16
Day 6………20
Day 7………25
Day 8………26
Day 9………30
Yesterday was day 10…
I did 15 without stopping, then a one minute rest then 10 more then one minute rest and 10 more, so 35 in total is brilliant. If I can continue with the same progress I honestly believe…

I’m so close to walking again..
