As we all get older, we tend to use the excuse of ” well it happens to everyone as we age, there’s nothing we can do about that”… yes thats partly true, as in time and tide wait for no man, or woman of course. But ageing should mean… more experienced and capable of making better choices, not lots more weight, more wrinkles and food induced sickness.
Yes of course there are far more tasty foods nowadays than in previous decades and its so much more convenient to just wolf some “fastfood” down while on the way to or from work or after because the kids need feeding. But the more we indulge and give in to our yearning tastebuds, the more those with “pure profits” on their agenda will continue to make and advertise fast or faster nutrionless crap ladled with hundreds of unpronounceable additives that do nothing good to our body.
Over the past twenty or so years I’ve tried to become more aware of the dangers in processed foods in general. I’m not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, prior to MS I would definitely have a Big Mac occasionally or another non compliant food, but it was only now and then, it wasn’t my staple diet.
I was the Client Service Director for the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing so was fortunate to meet several other leaders in the field of nutrition and “Natural health”… not the synthetic and chemically reduced symptoms and temporally healthy advocates..
When I was diagnosed with MS back in 2004, I was initially quite despondent especially after being told that everything would go downhill from that moment on. But being the type of guy I am, I saw that statement as a bit of a challenge… okay the world health experts all say the same, that MS is incurable and “you’ll never beat it”… Ha!!! I’m from Liverpool, my mum, God rest her soul was born in Berlin, so I’m half German as well so the neurologist saying that to me was like a dare, go on.. I dare you to beat MS..
Challenge accepted…
Eighteen years later, still no pharmaceutical drugs and still optimistic, I’ve not beaten it yet, but I’m definitely well on the way to doing it, thanks to the ABP.
As I’ve said before, the only obvious symptom I have now is weakness, quite an issue for me knowing how physically active I was, but… total healing from this hideous disease hasn’t happened but let me say this in all honesty.
I’m definitely a lot closer than they expected…
