My choice is…
When I’d been living in the beautiful state of Colorado for two years at that time, back in 2004 I’d gone to the doctor because of becoming extremely weak and was experiencing a total lack of coordination, I was tripping over the most ridiculous, obvious and small things. The doctors visit lead to a 4 day hospital stay where they carried out about six or seven complex tests including MRI and C.A.T. scan, eventually the neurologist, a down to earth matter-of-fact kind of guy told me that I had multiple sclerosis. He went on to say that it was an incurable disease but with the help of the latest pharmaceutical drugs I’d be able to live, albeit in a restricted way, he also pointed out that the drugs would be a lifelong commitment.
As I’ve said before, I refused to take the drugs and never have taken any.
So… the worlds medical community, the Scientists, PhD’s, Neurologists and all so-called MS experts that have written numerous books on the subject, the medical researchers are all of the same opinion that the disease called multiple sclerosis is incurable.
As I’m sure you can imagine upon hearing that, those words struck abject fear into my heart. Its a terrible thing for anyone to hear, but when you’ve been so physically active as I’d been, I can honestly say I didn’t want to live anymore and genuinely considered suicide.
No more hiking, no visits to the gym, no running, skydiving, rock climbing, mountain biking, scuba diving, hang gliding or flying, as was my pre-MS life.
It took a week or so before my I’m a scouser with a powerful German born mother attitude kicked in and told myself that regardless of what all the experts said, I’m never going to let the hideous disease beat me.

I think the majority of people in life have been completely brainwashed when it comes to what doctors say about what they refer to as medicine..
This is how Wikipedia describe medicine:
- The science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Similar:
medical science
practice of medicine
healing
therapeutics
therapy
treatment
healing art
- a drug or other preparation for the treatment or prevention of disease
It’s strange that nowhere does it say anything about treating a symptom of the actual disease which is genuinely what ALL PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS do.
In my own personal struggle, actually I’ll change that to challenge..
Nearly two years ago, 22 months, I over extended myself and my knees buckled under me. I was in that extremely painful position for an hour and a half, it was a further four hours before an ambulance came.
I’ve been in bed ever since so my lockdown has been my bedroom, I’m trying my hardest to remain positive but it is hard especially as the sciatica and bedsores are a 24/7 problem.
But I’ve maintained my plan of beating MS by sticking to the Ann Boroch Protocol which in reality is even harder to do when eating a comfort food is so enticing.
Getting back to my point.
I honestly believe that it’s always easier to just accept what the so called “experts” say …. Option 1… and just take the side effect riddled drug that will probably make you feel a little better in the short term, or. Option 2… which requires spending some time actually learning what will genuinely help for the long-term and truly give you your life back.
Yes it takes a lot longer to achieve and its going to include pain and frustration but I know for certain that my choice is Option 2…
