Ha…!!!!
According to the powers that be, the so called experts of the medical world, y’know the ones that tell you to give up and just take the drugs, I haven’t always been so sarcastic but these people just really p××× me off. Back to my point, there are 4 stages of multiple sclerosis that they work off, and depending on the stage there is a variety of DMD’s disease modifying drugs you can be prescribed.
Four disease stages of phases have been identified in multiple sclerosis:
Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS), and secondary progressive MS (SPMS.
The last of these stages is sometimes referred to as stage 4…this is when they say there’s nothing that will help, no drugs in their arsenal can change or improve your condition.
I was originally diagnosed in February 2004, I’ve never taken any drugs for MS, even though the.neurologist said I would be in a wheelchair permanently within six months of I didnt, fifteen years later I’m not in a wheelchair.
The first neurologist I saw when I’m came back to England told me I was Stage 4 so no medication would help, I tried not to laugh in her face for two reasons, obviously I wouldn’t take the drugs and because of her defeatist attitude.
All I want to say to the doctors and neurologists is HA !!!!
Go I….
When I started writing my blog (www.Ratherbehealthy.com) in 2012 it was because I wanted to share the knowledge and experience I’d gained 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 in my eyes it was the right thing to do and I enjoyed helping others, I talked with more than 17,000 people, many of whom became patients and were helped significantly. Because a great deal of them had what was considered to be incurable diseases, I know thousands benefited from either just the support or guidance or counselling I provided, some went on to have treatment guided by Dr Huggins and benefited from life changing results, as I’m sure you can imagine my involvement was incredibly fulfilling to me.
Anyway, the focus of my blog shifted in September 2017 when I personally started on the Ann Boroch protocol which in all honesty is changing my life.
Over the past twelve years from when I was in Colorado in the USA and then answering questions on my blog from people all over the world and now through the group’s I’m part of, I realize there are so many people in a far worse condition than me. Some because of where they live or what they believe or choices they’ve made. Whatever it was, I know that so many have five hopes of being healed, Bob Hope, periscope, antelope, envelope and No Hope…Why…. Because they’ve taken medication (drugs) that do nothing good long term and have serious side effects or/and simply don’t believe in the truth. I feel terrible for those people and will do whatever I can to help. Then I think…
There but for the grace of God go I…
Speed bumps.
As I’ve now completed two years in this unique journey that is a four year plan, I’m feeling confident that I’m reasonably well versed in what should and shouldn’t be eaten, no problems there. Knowing these things and being halfway into it, you’d have the opinion that I know what I’m doing… Yes… But not so confident in how the evil disease is always looking for me… or anyone doing this to make a bad decision of become complacent.
A week or so ago I decided to restart Anti fungals..my reasoning behind this decision was that maybe after two years there’d be a buildup of certain fungi and possibly yeast, so a month of AF’s would help.
On Monday I started, on Tuesday is noticed my face had become a little spotty, I also noticed the afternoon weakness had become a lot worse, it wasn’t a case of being a little weaker after lunch, no, it had become extreme fatigue, complete exhaustion, I couldn’t even sit up or raise an arm.
The same frightening thing happened today…so no more AF ‘s, so hopefully I won’t be as bad tomorrow and my skin will no longer think it belongs to a spotty teen.
After two years I’m getting better, of that I have no doubt and I’m coming to terms with the knowledge that this hideous disease will never give up and use every dirty trick possible to lead me and you back to a very dark place. I for one will never let MS get the better of me, fatigue, weakness of exhaustion are on this road to health, but I know they are just….
Speed bumps
But what if.
I can imagine that if someone totally new to this that either has multiple sclerosis or has a friend or loved one suffering with it, when reading my posts or one from Janet Orchard who knows significantly more than me that they would be very sceptical..
We talk so positively about the Ann Boroch protocol (ABP) and how this can heal the body in around four years, I say heal specifically and not cure because we are referring to two different things.
“The term “cure” means that, after medical treatment, the patient no longer has that particular condition anymore. Some diseases can be cured. Others, like hepatitis B, have no cure. … Medical professionals use medicine, therapy, surgery, and other treatments to help lessen the symptoms and effects of a disease”
That Wikipedia description says it exactly… “No cure, so their drugs lessen the symptoms”…
The ABP is healing “the body” after the cause of the symptoms has been removed, now it might seem inconceivable that the efforts of one woman, Ann Boroch, God rest her soul, could better that of the trillion dollar giants of the pharmaceutical industry. But it’s true, big Pharma is only interested in one thing, could that possibly be to help mankind? no… It’s their own profit…those pariahs are not going to eliminate customers that take their drugs every day of their lives.
Drugs treat symptoms and create other problems that require more drugs to ease or lessen the additional problems. Big Pharma doesn’t have patients…. They have a never ending supply of customers.
The readers of my posts might think I’m being unfair to these people, but think about it…
What if I’m right…
If only….
After almost 23 months I’m reasonably confident of my understanding of this protocol, it goes against the grain as far as basic nutritional recommendations, but this isn’t a standard for regular nutrition, it’s not “rocket science”, but it is very specific when it comes to restoring health to those like me suffering from multiple sclerosis.
So, my daily diet is without any of the non compliant foods, I’ve found certain treats that are allowed after three months, so all in all I’m quite happy about the foods I eat.
On Thursday I had something different, an Apple cider drink, I used to have one regularly when I lived in the States.. Anyway I have ACV on a daily basis and have always been an advocate of its many benefits so the cool refreshing drink really appealed to me. I quaffed it down before lunch, sadly it wasn’t 20 minutes later that I started to notice a difference, a negative one.
The improvements I’ve experienced since starting the protocol aren’t dramatically noticeable to others, but from my point of view they’re amazing. From an Allopathic medical standpoint where doctors will say the disease is incurable so after a person contracts it there will be a constant decline in health which in their view will be exacerbated when not taking the prescribed medication. I’ve never taken any medication for this disease in more than fifteen years. So for me to have stopped the progression of MS and to be actually getting better is rather amazing.
The ACV drink knocked me back, big time, my legs stopped working, I couldn’t stand, my carer had to wheel me to my bed and transferring onto it was a major challenge, I lost the ability to single finger type, I couldn’t hold a drink or even lift my hand to my mouth, in all honesty I was petrified. It was only when I looked at the ingredients of the ACV drink that I realised what the problem was. The Bragg ACV drink hadn’t been available when I’d done my online shop from Sainsbury so bought one that also included “the mother”… but it had sugar not honey and it kicked my butt.
So after 23 months I’m doing well, I’ve still a long way to go but I’m healing.. I think I know what I’m doing, but even so I still make mistakes, “Stupid boy”….. the information was clearly printed on the label, ten hours of suffering could have been avoided “If only” I’d looked at the label…
Who are you..
We all have choices in our life, some have no bearing or real influence on the big picture, as in whether we live or die, admittedly there are many people that chose to drink or smoke in moderation, not the same for addicts that refuse to go without for a minimal period, their choice.
In my “pre MS” life, I lived a very active life, I’ll not go into depth again but general fitness was a pre requisite to enable me to skydive, scuba dive, mountain biking, rock climbing and flying small planes and hang gliders… So road running and the gym were my second homes.
When I was diagnosed with MS in February of 2004 I was devastated and initially felt so disheartened and depressed, but that period lasted no more than a couple of weeks. At the time I was married, we’d sold our house and staying with close friends while our new house was being built. This was happening only two years after I’d moved from England to Colorado in the USA. As I’m sure you can understand these changes in my life were all having a significant impact on me.
I was working in the computer software industry which was also very demanding and stressful, so when the opportunity to work as the client service director for Dr Hal Huggins who was the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing came up I was very excited. He himself had MS and was keeping the symptoms at bay using his knowledge in both the previously mentioned.
Over a nearly four year period I learnt a great deal and like him, kept the worst of the symptoms at bay, but in mid 2011 things became very bad for me, I think because of stress primarily I was no longer able to function as was necessary and lost my job.
By the end of 2012 I returned to England, I continued with what I believed to be the best way forward, no drugs or medicine, just supplements and good nutrition. Then I was told about Ann Boroch and the protocol that healed her.
I’ve been following the ABP for just over 22 months and am 100% certain that my complete recovery will happen in give or take a few months of four years.. it’s not a quick fix or temporary solution, it’s a hard and strict dietary program that require dedication, determination, focus and belief. Some people think they have what it takes but for whatever reason, some justifiably so, have to stop.
In my case, stopping is never going to happen, I’m a proud, determined, stubborn man, I like what I’ve done in the past, I’m proud that I was in the Guinness book of records between 1989 and 19997. I’ve made a commitment, I’ve made a promise to myself that I will be road running again, admittedly it won’t be as fast as I did before, but it will happen. So, my fellow sufferers, ask yourself the question… Who are you…in my case, as Sammy Davis Jr said..
“I gotta be me
Never fails.
When I first heard about the Ann Boroch Protocol back in August 2017, my first thoughts were that it sounded like an amazing thing, I bought the book, Healing Multiple Sclerosis and read it in a couple of days, which in reality was far too quick. Two days to read a book isn’t an unusual thing but in reality far too quick to genuinely absorb exactly what is said. Think about it, this woman, Ann Boroch healed herself of what the world of medical experts say is incurable, yet here is a woman that has done what they say is impossible, so reading her account is possible obviously but truly understanding the process takes more than one reading and a lot more than two days.
In fairness I’ve read that book twice from start to finish plus numerous paragraphs several more, in addition to the same with The Candida Cure… just as anyone else that’s made a solid commitment to follow the protocol with the long-term goal of eradicating this hideous disease from my body, I’ve had many, many highs along with the initial lows.
This disease as well as the numerous other misunderstood so called incurables are devious and evil, to humans obviously but when it comes to their own existence, they’re quite special.. the combination of numerous symptoms all exacerbated and perpetuated by Candida, essentially a yeast or fungus that the majority of people have in one form or another.
Ask any medical professional and they’ll tell you a yeast infection can be cleared relatively easily such as a course of medication or even just eliminating certain foods. If…. if we were only looking at the obvious such as nail fungus or the female vaginal issues then yes it’s quite simple to rectify. Sadly the problem is much, much bigger than that, the fungus and yeast has blossomed into a rapidly spreading network restricting the correct functionality of the very basis of life.
That my friends is why the process is not a case of taking drugs for a month or simply eliminating gluten from your diet. The ABP takes four years or more because it’s doing far more than eliminating multiple sclerosis, it’s Healing your body.
As I’ve said before, I’ve completed 22 months so far, I’ve had some lows along the way but I’ve also had lots of good, great and incredible days, I think I know a lot about this, but just when I’m feeling confident, something happens, today it’s been something really good in that I feel great, the protocol works and the body heals. I’ve never had doubts per se, I’ve been frustrated and concerned, but as I said, I’ve never doubted what I’m doing, I’m a positive, optimistic guy and I know I will be healed, but the Ann Boroch Protocol never fails to amaze me…
To go…
This is not negative, it’s fact, after nigh on 23 months following the ABP I’m reasonably confident in my knowledge and understanding of a method that’s proven itself thousands of times to do what the world of medicine proclaim to be impossible. So I’m moving forward in a very positive manner and feeling rather pleased with myself, however, this past week with the hot temperature and high humidity has quite frankly kicked my butt. Everyday was horrible for me, as I’m sure for many others, but Wednesday and Thursday were absolute pigs..So much so that even my speech was limited, it felt like every ounce of strength had been sucked out of me, if it hadn’t been for help from my carers I wouldn’t have been able to get into bed. I had no core strength so I couldn’t even sit up straight.
But as I said to Start, this isn’t a negative post, the weather change just brought things into perspective, in reality after fifteen years with MS and being the best part of 64 yrs old, my body doesn’t have the strength or resilience of my skydiving younger self. But the bad parts we’re only temporary and my recovery has been so much better than pre ABP.
I’ve always been a fan of Apple cider vinegar, specifically Bragg ACV, and after a little advice from the fount of knowledge, “she who knows all” I’m now having two tablespoons three times daily… neat..
No negatives here, only positives, this week has just been a reminder that I’ve still a long was to go…
How..
I strongly believe it’s possible to do almost anything you truly want to, how? By paying attention, by focusing on your goal, taking advice and doing what others have successfully done before. Notice I said “anything you truly want to”, that’s because lots of people give up and justify their actions by saying “it was just to hard” or “it’s okay for others but I just don’t like this or that” or I just can’t do without my morning coffee”, but what they’re really saying is “I just don’t want it enough”… if they did, they’d find a way.
Janet Orchard is the perfect example of how to be focused and take direction, she was in a wheelchair for fourteen years, fourteen freaking years!!! can you imagine the mental anguish she went through and the horrendous muscle atrophy…but she healed her body, has absolutely no symptoms of MS anymore, obviously the muscle wastage is taking time to rebuild, but it’s happening.
I don’t think of myself as better than anyone else, yes of course the sports and activities that were a major part of my life, the commitment, the efforts, the willingness to learn and my determination are helping me. I’m not better than you, just different, I’m about to complete my 23rd month on the ABP and the improvements I’m experiencing are significant.
How do I know I’ll be healed, the Ann Boroch books have changed my life, I follow the protocol as closely as possible, I ask questions specifically of Janet my mentor, I do what’s required and I know without a shadow of doubt that I’ll follow in their footsteps to true health, that’s How…
Accept it or not..
We’ve all seen a movie or read a book that includes a loved one or close friend who’s life is being ruined through drugs, for one reason or another what initially appeared to be a very pleasurable excursion has now become a “must have” regardless of the cost physically or emotionally.
One of the main characters in the scenario tries their best to break the “need” by depriving the sufferer, going “cold turkey” isn’t the easiest thing to do, it doesn’t always work, there has to be an understanding that although it’s damn hard, it’s probably the best things, long term.
This example doesn’t just apply to taking drugs, it might be alcohol or food or a person, a lover or friend. Whatever it is, is often not seen as a problem by the person suffering, but from the outside it’s blatantly obvious and it’s of paramount importance that it’s dealt with sooner rather than later.
Trying to find a modicum of pleasure when going through a difficult time is very easy to justify…. “I’m going through hell right now, so doing or having this or that is my only pleasure” that may well be true but it probably isn’t the best thing when looking at the big picture. In fact there’s a strong likelihood it’s only perpetuating the problem.
Take MS for instance, we have pain 24/7, we have mobility problems, our joints ache, our arms hands, fingers don’t work properly, our strength is depleting fast, muscle atrophy is common, so if this is happening, if our life is worsening daily and the desire to continue.is fading, why is having a little bit of pleasure by eating something nice so wrong.
I’ll tell you why…. Because the bad things don’t need to happen, how can they be stopped? knowing that the so called experts insist on the complete opposite. It can be prevented quite easily, okay, it’s not easy per se, it is in theory but quite hard in practice.
I would never advocate trying to change things in one go, it’s too hard and unlikely to succeed. The genuine and proven thousands of times method to eliminate the offenders and restoring health for those like me suffering from multiple sclerosis is called the Ann Boroch Protocol or the ABP.
A four year protocol, developed by Ann Boroch who healed herself, it doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen…
By removing the bad, you can restore the good..
As I said, this doesn’t only apply to foods or drinks, they might well taste good, they might seem to you as a “must have”, but they aren’t, accept it or not, they’re just an addiction
