Rather Be Healthy

Back in the Nineties people in general.were reasonably switched on, but technology was advancing and surprising most, to the point of almost incredulity, but looking back now, what was accepted then as “cutting edge” appears relatively basic.
So the electronics industry is a world away now in relation to then.

Where am I going with this?
Okay, our understanding, our belief in foods, that misunderstood and often disregarded term “nutrition” … then and now are very, very different.
I am in a very difficult position because of what’s happening to me and what I thought I knew.
Firstly I must state with absolute certainty that the ABP works and that is a fact..
However I’ve had a bad 16 months because of a fall, I seriously damaged my knees which forced me to stay in bed. Damage to ligament, cartilage and tendon is not easily repaired as blood doesn’t actually flow in any of them, so being in bed as I’m sure you can imagine has resulted in significant muscle atrophy, in other words my thighs are nigh on useless.
So the progress I would have made on the ABP just didn’t happen, I’ll make this clear… that wasnt because of the protocol, it was simply the fact I couldn’t get out of bed to move around etc.
Now as is well known I started taking 500ml of organic Beetroot juice daily which is not ABP compliant…but the fact is that I’m having really good results..
Personally I don’t think new starters or those under 2 years into the “protocol” should take it..
When Goff Augustt told me about the Beetroot juice (brj) he also talked about removing all synthetics and chemicals plus certain foods, strict yes but not ABP strict, as it included some fruits and foods not on the protocol.
The dilemma I have is that after 5 weeks I feel great, actually better than I have for several years.
If I was asked by someone with MS I’d tell them to talk to Janet and follow the ABP exactly as its described, don’t deviate..
However, if I’m asked by an MS sufferer that’s been on the protocol for more than 2 years I’d say to do some research and make your own decision because I’m so surprised.
What I’m doing now is taking 250 ml brj daily at lunch and 2 x Beetroot capsules with my evening meal.
I know there’s lots of “evidence” about the possible negativities… but after 5 weeks all I’m seeing is serious positives..
As I have been told so many times its important to have an open mind, what was “told” to Ann Boroch back then was technically correct, but she ignored “correct” and “tried” something frowned upon by others “in the know” and that genuinely resulted in her healing her body.

As far as brj is concerned this isn’t me…I’m not breaking new ground in nutrition, I haven’t done endless nutritional research, I was told about this by someone that had had groundbreaking results..talk to Goff Augustt.
But what I did do is have an open mind, tried it myself and had results that have genuinely surprised and pleased me. I might be terribly wrong, I might find completely different results in a year or two.

What do I do?

Walk away from THJ, get thrown out as I’m not 100% compliant, and seeing a significant improvement with brj…
I’m torn…

I’d be lying…

Just over a month ago I was told about how someone had had the most incredible results by drinking 500ml of beetroot juice everyday, my initial response as I’m sure most people would have was something like, “Yeah right”…but after quite a lot of research I decided to give it a try…
Now I have to say, I haven’t walked away from the Ann Boroch Protocol because in my humble experience, the results had by myself and thousands, yes literally thousands of others has been amazing especially when considered to the prognosis of the world medical experts, maybe that classification should be adjusted to the financially rewarded medical experts. Hmmm I wonder where the financial incentive comes from?… could it possibly be from companies that benefit massively by keeping sick people taking drugs… nah!! Surely not!!..
Sarcasm aside…
The Ann Boroch Protocol works Fact.
So why would I look at something else…. 2 reasons, firstly because I was told it genuinely worked for Goff Augustt, I suggest you chat with him on here (FB) and secondly because I’m inquisitive.
I started as recommended by drinking 500ml per day and adding more fruit to my diet. I would say that I’m 95% ABP compliant and that’s unlikely to change but I have made other adjustments, now only 250ml with lunch and then 2 capsules of organic Beetroot (2800mg) in the evening.
Now regardless of others thoughts and research I’m going to percevere with what I’m doing, I can hear lots of voices screaming at me, no don’t do it.
But if I said I was feeling better, I’d be lying because I not.
I’m actually feeling a lot better…

When anyone is diagnosed with a serious illness its depressing to say the least, I know from my own personal point of view it was absolutely heartbreaking. I think because I’d been a reasonably fit and physically active man and then being told that everything would change, no more skydiving, hang gliding, scuba diving, rock climbing mountain biking or flying a plane…yes they were all part of my life. I suppose just being active, going to the gym or road running and hiking in the mountains as I was living in Colorado at the time..
Okay, okay Stefan!!! The past is the past, no dwelling on what was…focus on what is and what can be done.
Now as far as I’m concerned having done a ton of research, I’ve read books and talked to many “experts” in the natural health arena, in my humble opinion the most relevant way of kicking the ass of multiple sclerosis is the Ann Boroch Protocol.
Now I want to explain and justify my current actions, I very rarely just accept someone’s word for anything described as “amazing or incredible”.
With the ABP I talked with Janet, I’d read and reread “Healing Multiple Sclerosis” before I jumped in and I must say without any doubt or hesitation that this is “The way”.
So now there’s a however… not a doubt, just a possible addition that, again in my humble opinion I’ve chosen to add primarily because of my knee damage last year and the restrictions it caused.
I’ve added 500ml of beetroot juice (brj) daily, I believe in my own personal situation being three years ten months on the protocol that at this point it will enhance my results, I think doing what I’m doing during the first two years would negate the hard work previously done, so don’t do what I’m doing…
The ABP is strict for a reason, its not that Ann or Janet (was or does) want others to suffer, it’s because doing it works.
So following and sticking to the protocol regardless of the taste buds yearning for caffeine, sugar, dairy and gluten or the limited and frustrating days, it Will work..
Achieving it is possible, it just depends on…
How much you want it…

Being who we are is not a simple and basic thing…
Okay I know that sounds a little strange, I mean think about it, we..or you or me are actually two different people inside… we often portray ourselves to be something we’d like to be but not actually are…
We all talk to ourselves saying we do or don’t like or agree with something we hear or read or see, but to actually, physically object requires a lot more than thought, it requires mental strength and determination to literally do what others can’t or won’t for whatever reason.
Having a great job, earning lots of money and enjoying all the benefits that can bring is great, but it all pales into insignificance if you haven’t got your health, it’s only when it’s gone do you realise that.
I can honestly say that during my first 48 yrs of life I was a very lucky man, okay yes I’d worked hard, dam hard to get what I had, great job, big house, money in the bank, I was fit and healthy until one horrible day when like a bolt from the blue it all disappeared.
Initially I noticed weird symptoms and was later diagnosed with MS. Then my wife started having an affair, then divorce, then being taken to the cleaners financially.
Over the next thirteen plus years I tried 50 or 60 or 70 different things in my attempts to beat multiple sclerosis sadly all in vain, until I was lucky enough to be told about the Ann Boroch Protocol which is truly changing my life..
Now think about this, MS is a disease considered to be incurable by the world of medicine, but we know, not think but absolutely know that by following the ABP it’s beatable

It would be so easy to just say “oh woe is me”, to allow the.hideous unwanted disease to dominate, to take control and dictate what happens in your future..
Or you can adopt the stroppy teen attitude and stamp your foot down and be that determined and stubborn person that sticks to your guns and not succumb to temptation or others opinions.

I know I will kick its ass, I know I will beat the supposed unbeatable disease, the question I have is…
Which one are you…

Confusing…

Today I again tried…successfully to stand with my walker, I must give my thanks to the carers Donna and Kay who helped position things and ensured I didn’t fall, thanks girls…
They’re not girls per se but much younger than the old git writing this.
Anyway back to my point, I was able on four occasions to stand, make adjustments to my position and force my legs to stretch while weight bearing, it was probably a full minute each time which made me feel great but also exhausted me.
I’m very confident that by following the Ann Boroch Protocol as I have done that in general I’ve reduced the toxic components in certain foods which has improved my health/life..

I must point out that in all research I’ve done I’ve never found a definitive answer to the question of: does vasodilation increase the Rbc count? okay yes it does enable easier blood flow due to widening of the blood vessels but nowhere does it specifically say the haemoglobin which carries oxygen (oxyhaemoglobin) is increased.

Just an observation…

So, my condition appears to have taken a big step forward which in all honesty is making me very happy but is also a tad confusing…

Something that I’m very passionate about is what it is and how it’s possible to genuinely enable the body, mine specifically to actually “Live” again. I say “live” because I’m not talking about opening my eyes in the morning and staying in the same place until they close again for five hours at night. No… I’m talking about getting up and actually doing things during the day, going outside in the fresh air, driving in a car, going to a restaurant and a million other things. So in order to make that happen, contrary to the worlds so called medical experts I’ve been an avid follower of the tried tested and PROVEN way of doing this which is the Ann Boroch Protocol…
Since reading her books specifically on the subject of doing this I have to say that I’m a believer..

Some of you may have read one of my previous posts regarding an addition that I’m doing.
I’m obviously not going to talk about that specifically here as it’s not P.C

Anyway today was a very important day for me because after 15.months in bed for 23 hours per day because of serious knee damage, I did something my carers and knee surgeon didn’t think was likely to happen. I transfered from my commode to standing at my walker. I wasn’t able to walk, but just standing and stretching my legs weight bearing felt soooo good. I know for the able bodied readers here that may not seem like a big deal, but trust me when I say…to me that was.
Massive..

In a couple of my previous posts I’ve used the analogy:
The mind is like a parachute… it doesn’t work unless it’s open…
And now more than at anytime in my past that analogy is appropriate.
So before I draw comments such as
“No freaking way”… or…
“You’ve got to be kidding”
It’s been 19 days since I incorporated this into my daily regimen of religiously following the Ann Boroch Protocol and to be completely honest, I’m blown away…
As I’ve said I noticed slight improvements on the second day and those have progressively improved.
I’m significantly stronger overall, my core is like a night and day difference, yesterday for the first time in years…years…I was able to lay down for about 30 minutes, I actually dozed until a tentative fear hit me..” what if I can’t get up, I’ll just pee in my bed and be sooo embarrassed when my sister Suzie comes over at 9.30 a.m….. this happened about 05.15 a.m. so I was thinking I was going to be laying on my side, half uncovered, in a pee soaked bed!!!
So I’m sure you can imagine how I felt when that didn’t happen. What did happen was that I was able to sit up without any trouble at all, in fact it was quite easy, I righted myself and adjusted my position in bed as if I was an able bodied man.
So now I have to clear something up, in my opinion this will massively help when you’re following the ABP… personally I don’t think (just my opinion) that this alone would remove multiple sclerosis from your body, although when I was told about it, it was made clear that removing all synthetics and chemicals was of paramount importance.
Okay, are you ready for this…
Drum roll:::
Beetroot juice!!!
Yes Beetroot juice…
The one I use is 100% organic..
Beetroot juice..90% and organic apple juice10%
When I saw the post regarding
New Beginnings…
I made an enquiry, I just thought it sounded interesting and after several back and forth chats I talked with Goff August…who’s actually Irish not Dutch as I’d presumed..
He explained about his MS completely disappearing and what he’d done to make that happen.
All synthetic and chemical additives in soaps, deodorants etc had been removed..
By all means contact him on Facebook to get a more detailed explanation.
My own personal opinion based on my 19 days experience is that drinking 500ml of organic Beetroot juice daily will, not might but Will make a huge difference.
The taste to me wasn’t nice although that will probably be the opposite to other people, so I added 2 teaspoons of Bragg Amino Acids..
Note: the high density of nitrates convert to nitric acid and stimulate red blood cell production which enables a much improved oxyhaemoglobin count… meaning much more oxygen to the body organs… thats a very basic explanation.
In my humble opinion following the ABP and slowly but surely eliminate dairy, gluten and sugar will put your body in a far greater position to adjust then accept the benefits associated with beetroot juice and nitric acid (No2 and No3)…
Make no judgement or assumptions, keep an Open mind because I honestly believe that this is the missing piece in our jigsaw puzzle…

So yesterday was the fourteenth day of adding to the Ann Boroch Protocol, and in all honesty what I’m doing IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE..

I know it might seem that I’m being cruel by not saying what it is that I’m doing but in all honesty and fairness I want to be 100% confident it’s worth letting others know and suggesting it’s worth trying to do yourself.
I have to make this very clear, this isn’t my discovery or from my research, someone else can take the credit and for that I’m grateful.
Anyway, an update:
Day one, nothing obviously.
Day two, I definitely left a little stronger..
Since then I know I feel better but understand that nothing positive happens overnight when someone has this disease, but the small and subtle positives are very obvious to me..
I’m much stronger in my core I lay on my side for about 15 minutes 5 or 6 times each day.. Not too long ago there was no chance of me getting up but now it’s easy.
I’ll wait a few more days before I’ll explain in detail, but trust me.
A shock is coming..
