Rather Be Healthy

Why..

There are 11 major organ systems, which include the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, nervous and endocrine systems. The immune, integumentary, skeletal, muscle and reproductive systems are also part of the human body.

That being said, they are made up 724 trillion cells and then there’s the skin which is another 35 billion cells….. now all of those cells function independently and in symbiosis with each other… whoa.. slightly mind blowing.

Okay so when these very intelligent little dudes are trying their hardest to do their own specific job and enable you to work efficiently, the last thing…. the very last thing they need is for you, yes you, or me in my case to add something to the equation that shouldn’t be there, something that just didn’t meld. In my case it’s primarily gluten, dairy and sugar, sadly my systems, organs and cells have been messed up, contaminated, knocked out of kilter by a variety of yeasts, fungus and pathogens which is why I’m so freaking delicate.

This being the case my body has been fairly well messed up, but fortunately I’ve been able to start on a program that will correct the imbalances that have been resident in my temple for about 18 years. As I’m sure you can imagine the extremely complex array of cells are going to take quite a while to put right, but I’m going to persevere, there will be hiccups and stumbling blocks along the way but guess what… I’m stubborn, determined and laser point focussed and there’s not a shadow of doubt that I will succeed.

P.s. after a couple of minor hiccups at the weekend, I’m feeling great.

They are happening.

Obviously the most significant changes that have happened to me in recent years, from a positive aspect have taken place since I started the ABP on September 1st when my diet and the addition of certain supplements happened. During my first month I had lots of good days but between them were just as many bad days, to a certain extent it was a quite confusing period, feeling great and optimistic one day only to be knocked down the next. Towards the end of that period, and looking back there was a specific timescale which was two months give or take a couple of days where I absolutely knew a bad day would be followed by several good days, so when it happened I just accepted it was going to be tough so I went to bed and meditated. The third month was definitely a lot better, I still had bad days but not as many and nowhere near as bad, I just became weaker for a few hours, no big deal becauseI knew there’d be a good day that was better than the previous good days which boosted my spirits. I’ve written several times about Serrapeptase and how it seems to have taken my improvements a step further. In my mind it’s made a world of difference, however I know it wouldn’t have had such an impact if I hadn’t already been following the tried and tested ABP. During the past two weeks I’ve almost taken it for granted that the progress will continue, I say almost, but not completely, I know the protocol has made the bulk of improvements, it’s started me on what I believe is a successful regimen of diet and supplementation. Adding Serrapeptase when I did, and I believe the timing is so important has made a difference, the changes are small but they are constantly happening which as I’m sure you can imagine are making me very, very happy, the improvements, specifically, well I’d have to be really pedantic to detail the minor differences but trust me when I say ” they are happening”.

Not fairly but absolutely sure.

Last week I dabbled with increasing the dosage of Serrapeptase and said I’d try making the increase a regular thing, having 2 x 80,000 i.u. first thing in the morning and another 80,000 i.u. in the afternoon, well it’s only Wednesday and I’m very happy about the differences I’m noticing. As we all know a negative effect can happen and show almost immediately whereas a positive effect can take a while to be truly recognised in its full capacity. Well Monday was the first day and I actually felt quite good both physically and mentally, Tuesday was the same, little things like being able to control small movements with my legs that normally result in either limited or very jerky adjustments. My physical handwriting that I do everyday as a visual sign to assess detailed control is so much better, now it looks like neat print as opposed to an insect leaving marks that vaguely resemble words. When I’m in my bed, normally I’d have to adjust my position with difficulty to twist slightly and reach across my body to grab a glass of water, yesterday I was a little cautious but I was able to do this with my left hand and bring it to my right hand without spilling water all over me. Small things that to an able bodied person seem to be perfectly normal but to me and others suffering with MS was really, really good. I know that this whole process of diet and anti-fungal’s and correct supplementation is all down to the late Ann Boroch, God rest her soul, but the addition of Serrapeptase is something I only added last week and I’m very optimistic about how it’s improving my progress. This journey is very long and arduous, no one can expect to make miraculous transitions from being extremely sick to perfectly healthy but the small subtle improvements I’m experiencing are massive to me and the addition of Serrapeptase is making a difference, of that I’m  not fairly but absolutely sure.

Come so far.

For just over a week now I’ve been adding 2 x 80,000 iu of Serrapeptase daily, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I’ve been feeling better in a variety of ways, I’m putting it down to them, I’ve even considered adding to that but as we know it is possible to have too much of a good thing. I think I’ll add one tablet mid afternoon and see how my body copes with it over the next week. There’s literally a billion things happening every minute, yes I know that sounds like an exaggeration but it’s not. So accepting an addition, be it something you eat, drink or breathe, it has to be metabolized, absorbed and distributed to the relevant organ or system in the body. This process doesn’t happen immediately of course, the start to finish cycle can be as little as five minutes to as much as five days. That being said I’ll add a tablet today and decide by Friday if it a beneficial thing to do, I think by then I will have noticed any positive or negative effects.

When I think about how I felt in August, yes the ever optimistic and positive me almost blindly believed I would be able to live a  normal life again but at that time there was no basis for that confidence. Whereas now in early December I truly know it will happen and more importantly I know how.  I’m writing this on the evening of Sunday 10 th and I think about the difference in how I feel, it’s great knowing I’ve come so far, and that maybe the case but that statement needs something added to it, and that is…. but I’ve so much further to go.

I hope that others reading will be able to benefit from my actions and experience, if anyone, new or old to the ABP would like to know more of my experiences or the specifics of my diet and supplementation then please don’t hesitate to ask on here or email me directly on [email protected].

Only a matter of time..

I’ve never been a jigsaw puzzle fan, I think I’ve probably done maybe three or four in my life, I’m not sure if having patience is the main requirement but it is definitely needed and to be honest I’ve just never had the desire or interest in doing them. To me not seeing something that is right in front of you and then finding it was always bloody frustrating rather than satisfying. However that’s not the case in my situation regarding my health, here is a problem that the best doctors and neurologists have pronounced as incurable, they are telling us it’s a condition ruining the lives of millions but it’s a problem that’s unsolvable, apparently millions and millions of pounds and dollars have been spent on research to solve this worldwide problem but all they can come up with are drugs that in the short term relieve some of the symptoms but long term exacerbate the condition. Anyone reading my posts will no doubt have noticed that I have an intense dislike for those pariahs masquerading as helpers known as big Pharma.

Anyway back to my point…..the jigsaw puzzle known as multiple sclerosis, “they” sell you the 10,000 piece puzzle but one or two of the key pieces are withheld so you start off quite well, you’re able to put at least half of the pieces in place but no matter how long you stare at the jumble of pieces and no matter how many times you try to fit a piece in, it just doesn’t go in so you remain in the same place. Then you hear from the puzzle maker that there’s an additional pack of pieces that could possibly include the ones you’re missing, so naturally you go along with this and buy the additional pieces, that particular scenario happens multiple times.

We all know that it’s just a scam, an intricate elaborate one aimed at keeping you as a customer, so frustrating and unfortunately it’s a lifelong problem. Or is it….. enter Ann Boroch with a genuine solution, she’s been able to look at the big picture, the completed puzzle and work backwards to provide the key pieces to everyone’s  puzzle. Now you can imagine how annoyed the other people are, this is going to affect their profits….. unfortunately Ann Boroch is no longer with us…. draw your own conclusions.

Back to my puzzle, fortunately for me I’ve got the genuine pieces and I’m able to continue putting together my 10,000 piece puzzle, I know it’s going to take a long time to complete but the important part of it is that I know all the pieces are there and finishing it is only a matter of time.

The change.

I wrote about Wednesday being a good day, in fact I’ve been having lots of good days over the last few weeks and it’s really hitting home that the improvements are slowly but surely becoming the norm for me. It’s so nice to actually feel my toes flexing on my left foot, I think the movement today was the first time I’ve been able to do that in about seven or eight years. Just three months and one week of following a protocol of changing my diet and adding a few different supplements hasn’t been difficult really, it’s simply required me to not be a slave to my taste buds. In reality once you know what not to eat then it just requires a few hours of internet research to find alternatives, obviously they aren’t exactly the same and the tastes just need a few tries to become acceptable, no big deal.. If I were to compare the feelings and sensations of a good day now to one only four months ago they would be like night and day. After such a good day on Wednesday I sort of expected an average day on Thursday, that wasn’t the case. Thursday was the best day I’ve had in five years, having years of 24/7 pain and frustration then to feel as good as I did Thursday was mind blowing, it really was. It was like hitting and passing a milestone, again I’m trying hard to not be overly optimistic, not grammatically correct but you know what I mean, Thursday could well be the beginnings of the change.

I’d be lying.

To a certain extent it was almost frightening on Wednesday, during the early part of the day particularly because I felt so good, everything I did from moving around the flat to simply the difference in my coordination and dexterity when opening supplement bottles or handling a pen and paper. It’s still surprising me as the improvements happen, okay at this time they are only with me for short periods, a matter of hours until a horrible debilitating weakness takes over, but again the opposite happens after a few hours rest or a decent sleep. So during the morning between 8.0 and 12.30.. ish… as the great feelings are strong my mind wanders, I stupidly remember being sick and weak to skip though my thoughts. I honestly believe that the mind, specifically the sub consciousness has a massive influence on your health, “if you think you can, or if you think you can’t…. you’re right“… that being said I have to take more control of my thoughts and accept that I truly am healing, admittedly it’s only 3 months and 1 week, the permanent effects are going to take years.  The title of this post…if I said today was good, I’d be lying because it was way better than that.

Slow down…

Monday was an interesting day, I think I’ve been feeling really good for about a week or more and the ever so little improvements appear to be staying with me, so much so that I’ve tended to move around a little better, still using walls and furniture but a little quicker and easier. I think I’ve put myself in several quite precarious positions of late and very luckily I’ve always got away with it. Until Monday that is, around lunchtime I was just returning from the bathroom and looking forward to my sweet potato fries. Moving a little quicker than I should have, my left foot scuffed on the carpet as my left leg was passing my right leg…. oops.. I fell very heavily, it all seemed to happen in slow motion until there was a really loud noise. I didn’t lose consciousness as my head cracked into the edge of the coffee table but I did see stars, lots of them. If my carer Megan hadn’t been there I’d have been up shit creek without a paddle. I could feel what felt like a  cup of warm liquid being poured over my head… no not really but the blood ran freely from my throbbing bonce. As I said Megan applied pressure and lots of paper towels for a good 10 minutes until it only slightly leaked. I’m writing this at 11.30 p.m. Monday, my head hurts a bit but no big deal, I say no big deal but there is a lump about as big as half a golf ball on the back of my head. But all in all I’m fine and I learned a good lesson today… yes you’re healing Stefan but SLOW DOWN.

Whatever it takes.

How to succeed at getting your life back, okay that’s not an easy thing to do for a person with MS, but we know but it is possible regardless of what the so called medical professionals tell you, not wanting to be disrespectful of them and their academic and medical qualifications but they have no intention of making you better. Their plan is to make things easier for you to cope with what they perceive to be an incurable disease. Back to my point, the first step is….

1) Have a plan,  have a purpose, you have just told yourself you have a future, you aren’t going to slide or slip into obscurity, you are going to regain your life.

2) Be strong, you aren’t going to rely on anyone else for your mental strength, Yes if course there is physical help you need but tell yourself that mentally you can do it.

3) Have enthusiasm, you can and will motivate yourself to be the best You, you can be.

4) Read Ann Boroch’s book… then read it again and let the principles of how she healed herself soak in and stick to them.

5) Self discipline, don’t tell yourself it’s okay to have a small sugary treat today because you’ll make up for it tomorrow. Be strong, it’s better to take one step forward and to stay there than it is by taking a step backwards. None of us are perfect, there’s always going to be stumbling blocks along the way, but that’s what they are, just stumbling blocks not dead ends.

I know I will succeed, it might take two or three years but I know that getting my life back is going to be so much better than being sick, be focused and committed to this, I am and  I know I will do whatever it takes.

Absolutely.

In 2002 I was living in Denver, Colorado in the U.S. I was newly married and was looking forward to an amazing life, It didn’t go as planned because after only one year I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I refused to take the prescribed medication because I just felt the drugs would be the worst thing I could do, at that time I didn’t have the knowledge I  have now but it just knew it was wrong.

My first attempt at trying to heal myself was a nutritional beverage called XanGo which in my humble opinion saved my life, I was able to keep the majority of symptoms at bay.

After six years my wife started to have an affair and in her opinion thought that it would be better to not be married to a man with MS so she divorced me. As I’m sure you can imagine it was difficult at first, I felt very vulnerable and isolated but in hindsight it was probably the best thing for me. I was able to dedicate my life to my job as the client service director for Dr Hal Huggins, my life was focused on helping others suffering with serious disease and was so rewarding.

It was very difficult in so many ways and after trying so many potential solutions and still getting sicker I eventually had to return home.

I’ve been back in England for five years now, I live alone and spend a lot of time reading and searching for a way to remove this hideous disease from my body. I honestly believe the pain, frustration and humiliation has helped me become a better man. I know that what I’m doing isn’t going to be  a quick fix, I’m not going to wake up tomorrow morning and be cured, but I do know that by sticking to this, by resisting temptation, that it will happen. I feel incredibly lucky, this unforgiving, unrelenting disease takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, but not me, no way because now I have the knowledge, I know the solution that was painstakingly discovered by an amazing woman, Ann Boroch.

There are thousands, hundreds of thousands in more pain than me, that are without the help and guidance that I’ve received, but I’ve  been given a chance and I’m grabbing it firmly and not wasting it, am I going to be cured?……Absolutely..
