You can be.
During my life I’ve always thought of myself as someone that did things, I’ve never been a “couch potato”, far from it, as a kid brought up in Liverpool in the “50’s” it was normal to be physical, playing outside, getting my hands dirty and just being a kid.
I left school and went to the Army Apprentice College in Chepstow, South Wales where I became a Combat Engineer, which meant I was trained in Bridging, demolition and minefield clearance amongst other things, I also qualified as a Carpenter and Joiner and took an HND in building construction and building science.
Over the next 25 years I’d done nearly a thousand skydives, I was a hang glider, scuba diver, mountain biker, rock climber and a pilot as well as riding very fast bikes and driving fast cars.
30 years after leaving the Army I’d arrived in Colorado in the US , a very different lifestyle, I was 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, when I was diagnosed with MS in 2004 I’m sure you can understand how devastated I was to have become so physically challenged after leading such an active lifestyle.
Initially I was gutted, I felt sorry for myself, I was depressed and I’m not ashamed to admit I cried a lot and felt very alone, especially as it was only two years after I’d moved to the US. But that period of my life lasted about a month, then I took a deep breath, looked in the mirror and told myself to “Man up”…. No one was going to heal me, certainly not the drug pushing doctors, so it was down to me.
As I’ve previously mentioned, I’ve never taken any MS medication, I took it upon myself to find out about genuine ways of actually beating it, not to simply mask the symptoms as pharmaceutical drugs do.
Up until September 2017 I’d tried at least 50 different therapies, operations and so called “miracle cures” that did nothing but lower my bank balance. Obviously I was a little skeptical when I read “Healing multiple sclerosis” by Ann Boroch, that opinion changed completely after 3 months, and now, 2 years and 3 months later I’m so happy, positive and optimistic for the future.
I think it’s generally accepted that women cope with pain better than men, but men are men!!! We are tough, or at least we like to think we are, but more women straighten their spine and fight for their life by starting and Sticking to the ABP.
I hope that more people, not just women take up the challenge of saving their life by committing to the protocol, how can you do it?
By being the best You… You can be
