Rather Be Healthy

So easy….
Having a disease like multiple sclerosis, which I’ve had officially since February 2004, is a demoralising thing.
That diagnosis and prognosis for my future, as I’m sure you all know was a tad depressing, especially as my life previously involved fitness and sports not participated in by normal people. I’ll not harp on about my physical past and achievements again, but accept it was quite…
“Radical” I suppose..
That being said, my attitude to life is one of me wanting to succeed and definitely not one of “giving up”..
So when the neurologis at The Rose hospital in Denver told me that I had MS and that it was incurable, I naturally felt deflated to say the least.
I’d only been in Colorado in the USA for 2 yrs, I’d moved there from England after I’d met a woman who….no, I’m not going to slag off but I will say wasn’t as nice a person as initially pretended to be.
During the 11 years I lived and worked there full time I never took any medication for MS and still haven’t taken any.
What I did do is constantly look for what is wrongly described as “Alternative or Complimentary treatments” and I’ve tried more than fifty things. It is only the Ann Boroch Protocol thats made a lasting difference.. obviously I’ve still a long way to go before I can say that my body has been healed, but it is happening and the multiple symptoms which when bunched together are classed as Multiple Sclerosis are becoming less and less obvious to me and my carers.
In my humble opinion, the only way to be when contracting this disease, is to remain positive and optimistic of possible improvements, a person, you or me has to constantly tell themselves that the disease is not going to win…we have to be strong mentally and emotionally, I’m not in the Special forces, I’m not a Marine commando, but I have to have that same mindset….I’m never giving up..
Getting back to the headline of this post, be strong, tell yourself that no matter how difficult it gets, no matter the pain and frustration, your focus and determination will see you all the way to the finish line…it can be hard, it will be difficult, but the rewards are worth it… regardless of the fact that …

Giving up and failure is so easy..

Been there…

My life so far has been interesting to say the least, I don’t consider myself better than anyone else, but I am different and have a lot of experience, experience that has helped a great deal over the past 65 years and as I’ve got lots of plans for the future they will help guide me through the next thirty years or so because I plan to be around and do so much more.
I was born in Liverpool in 1955 when it was very tough for every family to survive and more so for us as my mum had 7 kids and we lived in a two bedroom house with no bathroom.
School was hard and even more so than normal as the knuckle dragging morons would beat up those that had raised their hands and answered teachers questions or didn’t participate in the monthly fights between my school, Litherland High and Warwick Bolum…
I left school at 15 yrs old to go to the Army Apprentice College in Chepstow, South Wales.
I qualified with a City and Guilds in Carpentry and Joinery, I also got my degree in Building construction and building science which qualified me as a clerk of works.
Being in the Royal Engineers I also became a Combat Engineer, so bridging, demolition and minefield clearance was another skill.
After leaving the army I ran my own little business doing small building work but I also took my HGV class 1, 2 and 3, thats Heavy goods vehicle licence, so I can drive every vehicle from cars, small vans right up to the juggernauts you see with 40 foot trailers thundering down the motorways. From a recreation point of view I also have my motorbike licence.
Because it sounded like good fun, I took a parachute course then went on to free fall, skydiving was a major part of my life and I did 834 skydives and was #2 on the 60 man formation in 1989 which was in the Guiness book of records until 1997 when it was beaten.
I’m also a SCUBA diver, hang glider and I have my PPL, private pilots licence.
I know I’ve said most of this before, don’t worry, I’m not going doolally.
I worked in the I.T. industry for 25 years and as I’ve previously mentioned I’ve driven more that 1.5 million miles for work, going to and from appointments around the country.
I lived and worked in Colorado in the USA for nearly 11 years, 10 yrs and 10 months to be precise.
I was the Client Service Director for the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing, Dr Hal Huggins. I sat in on many, many of his consultations, I studied all his work and learned so much from him. I wanted to take my doctorate but he told me I’d learn so much more genuinely useful information from him.
I’ve been back in England since November 2012, and sadly am not able to physically work..yet
Since being a part of the special group whos intention is to heal from multiple sclerosis, I’ve also written and published two books with a third on the way so I have been busy.
I’m closely following the Ann Boroch Protocol, I truly believe that I will once again be running the streets, not as quickly as I once did, but it will happen.
Everything I do during the 20 hours I’m awake is a challenge, since my fall last March, I’ve been in bed, I am in the same sitting or slightly leaning back position for 23 plus hours everyday, the other 45 mins I’m on the commode or having a shower.
So when chatting or talking with people far less experienced in life, (not you honey) but people that ….tut and roll their eyes, please have some patience and emember that..
I’ve been there, done that and have the T shirt and video.

A future worth…

2020 will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, the world experienced a pandemic creating more deaths than most countries had ever experienced outside of the two world wars.
It was a frightening time for everyone, just reading or hearing about the thousands being diagnosed everyweek, the emergency hospitals being built then being filled by patients, some on ventilators for weeks and weeks.
From my own personal level it was terrible, a week before Lockdown in March I had a fall in my bathroom which resulted in me being in bed for the remainder of the year…
In September I experienced all coronavirus symptoms including the worst sticky glue like flegm, I was extremely weak, even more so than just having multiple sclerosis. I quickly adopted my self preservation mode and started taking masses of Lipospheric vitamin C. I went through three bottles of 250ml in 9 days, a bottle is normally a months supply.
I know the majority of people will not believe it was covid19 or that the lipospheric vit c could help so much, but trust me, I’m telling the truth, lipospheric vit C will kill all known virus, and that has been scientifically proven.
If only the governments of the world would stop believing in the pariah’s. a.k.a. Big pharma.
Here in England we all owe a massive debt of gratitude to all the amazing staff of the NHS.. they have put their own lives at risk and worked tirelessly to keep us safe…. Thank you…
The strain on the prime minister who also was struck down with that hideous virus, the pressure to keep the country afloat must have been terrible. I know some will disagree and have a completely different opinion, but thats how I see it..
As far as the negative filled year is concerned, it created problems, thats true and sadly lots of people lost their lives, there’s nothing we can do about that now other than remember them fondly and move on.
2021 has just begun, let’s learn from the past and make the necessary adjustments to our lives and safeguard our future.
My 2020 was crap in so many ways…
I spent 10 months in bed, my lockdown was limited to my bedroom, my knees were badly damaged in the fall I had which has seriously restricted all movement, my thighs are so weak so 99% of exercise and movement is so limited, on top of that I’m not over it….yet..
On top of those issues I’ve had to drink about a gallon of water everyday or I have serious problems. Drinking so much creates other problems in that every 45 minutes I’m given roughly a one minute warning that I Will pee regardless of where I am or what I’m doing.
Nothing any doctor or…. has helped me combat this issue, until something I’d read last week then bought another supplement has made a difference.
It seems that for ten plus years, Ten years!!!! I’ve had a urinary tract infection. I say had, because I think its been addressed…. Yay!!!!
But…!!!!
I’m still 100% on the Ann Boroch Protocol and I am confident that my 100% healing will happen its just been delayed, it might appear to other people be a pipedream, a fantasy but I’m not other people, I’m me and I intend to live and have a future worth living…

As Ellie Goulding said……

Thinking back to February 2004 when I was originally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and the thoughts whizzing through my head, I was understandably perplexed and confused and frustrated.
Only two years earlier I had moved to Denver, Colorado from England because I’d met a woman who I thought was an honourable and truthful person, we got on really well, I don’t think either of us were in love, but we both thought we would be good for each other.
I know, I know !! it was the wrong reason to get married … but we did…
After four years there and working in the I.T industry, I’d read about an incredible man called Dr Hal Huggins who was the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing and was looking for a director to work in his organisation. He had been treating patients with MS as he’d found a connection between Mercury, used in amalgam fillings and MS. Over many, many years, lots of research and experiments he had a success rate of 86% in removing the disease.
So after a couple of 3 hour intensive interviews I was offered the position of Client Service Director.
I worked for him for four years and learnt a great deal that helped me cope with my own disease, sadly I was in the 14% of unsuccessful patients.
Anyway during my time there, my not so honorable and truthful wife was having at least one affair so we divorced in May 2008.
Getting on to the point of this post, eventually…..
Between 2004 and 2017 I must have tried at least 50 treatments, therapies, operations including a full dental revision, body chemistry rebalancing, CCSVI, Bee sting therapy and so many supplements that were touted as game changers for MS, but the best any did was to provide a temporary relief from the many symptoms of this hideous disease.
So when I read “Healing Multiple Sclerosis ” by Ann Boroch and her success, I was a little sceptical to say the least, but I decided I’d give it a try and commented about it on Facebook. That’s when I heard from Janet Orchard who explained about her personal journey and amazing success on the protocol so I had no hesitation in making a commitment to doing it.
There’s no doubt that the first two months were damn hard but three years and four months later I can honestly say its the best decision I ever made.
The fall I had back in March definitely slowed my progression down, but I’m still on track and I am 100% certain that I will be healed, yes it will take more than four years, but, no big deal…. I will be one of the thousands that beat this so called incurable disease.
If you’re on the protocol, be strong, determined, focused and believe… if you’re thinking about starting…. as Ellie Goulding said…
“What are you waiting for”….

Everything in the body is made of Proteins…dont misunderstand that, I said Proteins not protein..there are various classifications of foods we all know about, protein, carbohydrates and lipids (fats) but being healthy is not simply a case of just eating protein. Yes there are fewer calories in protein than carbs or lipids, but they also provide much needed nutrition for the body.
I said everything, meaning the organs glands, bones, muscle and connective tissue such as ligaments etc which are constructed by the body when possible from the necessary proteins. I said that the proteins required aren’t simply portions of the protein rich foods we’ve eaten, or not..these proteins are very specific and as everything else is, are made internally from amino acids..
I’m trying my best here to describe an extremely complex function in an easily understandable way, so please just bear with me.
There are 22 amino acids but only 14 can be provided by the foods eaten, the other 8 are extremely special and identified as Essential…. they are differentiated when written by having an L before its specific name. It won’t help by naming them, just know that an amino acid with an L.before it is essential

Anyway, if we could provide the essential amino acids, surely the body would have what it needed to rebuild and repair any particular component in needs. Sadly the answer to that question is no, not exactly because those 8 essential amino acids or EAA’s, need to be in specific proportion to each other.
Let me try to explain in another way….
What have matchsticks, chairs, tables, log cabins and some ocean going yachts have in common? Yes they are all made out of wood, but you wouldn’t try to make a log cabin out of matchsticks would you… although they are all made from wood, its different quality and quantity. The same basic rule applies to EAA’s and what they form as Proteins on route to the reqired need of the body.

This post is basically in regard to the accident I had at the beginning of March. I had been doing really well on the Ann Boroch Protocol and feeling great in my quest to heal my body of multiple sclerosis. To a certain extent I was getting a bit over confident and did more physically than I should have.. consequently the following fall has put my progress back by 9 months. But I honestly believe what I’m now doing is changing that.
I came across some very detailed information regarding not just amino acids or branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s) or EAA’s but Perfect Amino Acids..
Perfect because a 70 year old doctor who compete’s in Iron-man triathlons created them and have a 99% amino acid utilisation, that is quite amazing knowing that eggs have only 47% and that’s more than any other foodstuff.
So my thoughts are that taking them will naturally rebuild my damaged cartilage and help the thigh muscle in both legs.

The posts I write are for two main reasons, I want to document what I’m doing with the ABP and the progress I’m making and to hopefully motivate and inspire others on this journey.
So have my 3 years and 4 months on the protocol healed me of multiple sclerosis …
No not yet, but I’m very optimistic…

Now the following post is my opinion, but its an educated opinion of a scientifically proven fact….
That fact is that lipospheric vit C will kill all known virus…. I’ll say that again…all known virus including corona virus, Covid 19…

On Sunday last week I noticed a slight problem, more of an irritating problem than something to worry about, a bit of a cough and runny nose which I thought was no more than the basis of a cold so I upped my daily dose of “Lipolife”, the liposomal vit c from 1 x 5ml to 4 x 5ml…
On Monday morning I was feeling a little worse and I now had a strange chesty cough and I felt much weaker, the chesty cough was generating horrible flegm that was really hampering my breathing. definitely prompted me to double the dose over the next 24 hours.
I didnt panic but my thoughts started to wonder if I could have somehow caught that freaking corona virus, the only people I come into contact with are my carers, did I mention that I have multiple sclerosis? Well I have had it for almost seventeen years but have never taken any pharmaceutical medication for it, but thats another story.

Thinking about covid 19 thats killed hundreds of thousands of people in the past 8 or 9 months and my particular situation, I am a prime candidate…male over 65 yr old, and overweight.

I wasn’t scared or overly worried because I absolutely believe the information provided by Dr Thomas E Levy M.D J.D who helped develop the liposomal vit c..
A liposome is a nano sized particle almost exactly like a human cell, hundreds of thousands of them completely encapsulate the vitamin. So it passes safely through saliva, the esophagus, the stomach, the intestines until it is broken down in the small intestine and absorbed by the body.
Liposomal vit c is 8.25 times more effective than orally taken or intravenous vit c.

So between Monday 2nd November and Sunday 8th I’ve taken more than 100 x 5ml doses of liposomal vit C..
I personally use “Lipolife Gold” which is made in the UK and does not have any connections with China.

Going back to Thursday and Friday evening which was the worst time for me, my head was terribly stuffy, nose running, the back of my neck was aching like hell. The chesty cough was unlike anything I’ve ever felt before, my whole body spasmed, it felt like the cough was echoing inside of a cavernous chamber inside me. I was terribly weak, much more so than the problems created through MS, the worst part was the flegm that for no apparent reason, no warning it would suddenly block my airways which resulted in ten or fifteen seconds of no breathing, just a completely blocked throat, I can honestly say that during that short time which felt like eternity, I honestly felt I was over, done, bye bye life..
Anyway I did the NHS test on Saturday and the results show that I didn’t have corona virus at the time of testing, the wording in the results didn’t say that I “don’t” have coronavirus….it says I “didn’t” have it when the test was done. Again I’m stating the the lipospheric vitamin c kills all known virus and I took copious amounts after my symptoms started.
I’m 95% back to normal, obviously my normal isn’t the same as normal for an able bodied person.
Having multiple sclerosis means I have a severely compromised immune system, but I’m good, I’m not concerned, or suffering anymore.
I just wish that the governments of the world would wake up and start administering lipospheric vit C instead of wasting time, money and most importantly human life looking for a vaccine.

I honestly believe that I had coronavirus and as the results clearly state, I didn’t have it at the time of testing which was 5 days after I started taking megadoses of lipospheric vit C..

So going back to the title of this post…

“What does it take?….

Three bottles of Lipospheric vitamin C…

How do I cope…

At this point in time, I’m not referring to the time of day as its only 04.25 a.m., I’m referring to my life 24 hrs per day, the overall feelings that dominate my life, are Pain, that can be grouped into three sections, constant….bearable and intense… The constant part comes from just having multiple sclerosis which I’ve had for almost seventeen years, there are teenagers, adolescents and kids that have been alive for fewer years than I’ve been in pain…. frightening when you think about it. The bearable part I try to hide from others in conversation with me, I don’t want them to see it. The intense part is obviously during shorter periods, they are mainly, not only, but mainly when I first wake up early in the morning and can be associated with sciatica such as now as I’m writing, the intensity makes me grimace and stop what I’m doing, for instance the intense unbeable pain has struck 4 times while I’ve been writing the first part of this post and I’m sure will happen ten more times before I finish.
In addition to Pain is Frustration, Weakness and Anxiety…
So those four emotions and overall feelings are the dominant players in my life which in reality could very easily lead me down the road to depression and desperation.
The way I prevent that from happening is by constantly telling myself that those things are only temporary which is a difficult thing to do knowing that’s been for 25% of my whole existence.
I sleep for as little as three hours on some days, to five hours on good days, last night was horrible for me, hence a three hour sleep.
Taking off the sleep time, bathroom, then eating, it leaves as much as twenty hours or eighteen hours to fill, so I Read, Research, Write, Watch TV, play games and talk to Gaby, the love of my life…
I firmly believe by following the ABP that my body will be healed of this hideous disease, I’ve recently been incorporating something else to help the physical problems incurred by the fall in March, did I also point out that I’ve been in bed since then, no I didnt, but I have…
When you’re in bed, seeing the same walls for twenty three and a half hours everyday and only sleeping for a short time, the last thing, the very last thing I need is to cope with another person’s bad, childish attitude….. I can’t escape from it, I can’t just walk away…
I have to come to terms with it, I have to justify things, its very difficult when taking everything else into consideration…
I know, not think, not hope, I absolutely know I will heal my body, it might be after four years on the protocol, unlikely…. it might be four and a half years or five years, I’m not sure which but its definitely happening.
I also know that Gaby and I love each other and intend to marry, the pandemic and a couple of other things are preventing that for now, but they are just temporary road blocks.
So as you can see, there are many, many challenges restricting me at this time, its not easy, so how do I cope?

Distraction…

Why the ABP…
Almost three years and two months ago I started meticulously following the Ann Boroch Protocol. For those that aren’t aware of what that is, its a 4 year plus dietary program designed to progressively eliminate the foodstuffs, the main offenders from our diet, not temporarily, permanently and with the aid of certain supplements we can gradually rejuvenate the internal workings of our body, when done properly to self heal the ravages done by multiple sclerosis. I say multiple sclerosis because that is the “supposedly incurable disease” that Ann Boroch had been suffering from, but in reality the protocol will provide the same results for people suffering from many other diseases.
The protocol is not some weird and wonderful quick fix, its not a miracle pill that “cures” any disease. Far from it, the protocol doesn’t “cure” anything, what it does do is enables your body, that amazingly complex organism that “you live in” to “Heal itself”…..there’s no “curing” involved….its just removing the roadblocks restricting your blood, your organs and enzymes from doing what they were designed to do.
Getting back to September 1st 2017, which will always be thought of by me to be the day my new life began. Admittedly September was a pig when looking back as thats the month, month one, that’s when the majority of the bad effects of food elimination kicked my ass…
It would have been easy to just stop what I was doing which on the surface made me feel so much worse. But because I’d read the book, “Healing Multiple Sclerosis” by Ann Boroch and because of the wonderful support from Janet, I was able to “stick with it”….
Month two and three were much easier, its just a case of reading, rereading the book and believing that the healing will happen.
As I said, its not a quick fix, ridding the body of the multiple “symptoms ” takes time, its not 4 years specifically, its however long it takes, it might be 4 1/2 or 5 years, its a “lifestyle change”.
So three years and two months in and I’m genuinely happy with the progress I’m making, a fall that was my own fault has created some problems and slowed my progress down a little, but I’m still healing my body.
The title of this post is a question….
“Why the ABP”….
The answer is….
Because it works…

Trust me, I’m not…

As I was saying in an earlier post, our bodies are made up of cells, 37 trillion of them… to put that into perspective is very difficult for anyone to genuinely comprehend..
Most people know when amounts of money are involved when the term “Millionaire or Billionaire” are mentioned, a thousand million’s is a billion…… so, a thousand billion is a trillion…
Now think about that in terms of the average life span of a human, let’s say that is 75 years, that means there are 1.8 billion cells for every day in your life….

Whats that got to do with this post? I’m just attempting to put the number of cells that make up the human body into perspective.

Everything in your body is made-up of cells, the cells are generated, re-generate and de-generate as we age depending on nutrients we put into the body… the cells don’t have a hidden agenda or opinion or are influenced by taste or smell, they just are!!!!… simple….

Every organ has a job to do, they aren’t there to fill in spaces, they are there specifically to enable the body to function efficiently. Sadly because of various reasons which have just been accepted as human nature, foods, drinks, other substances and actions that appeal to our taste buds and desires have gradually restricted the efficacy of the organs in our body, resulting in sickness, disease and premature death…. you, me, everyone is guilty of succumbing to these.

Okay, now I’ll hopefully get to the point of this post, which is the muscle and connective tissue, ligaments and tendons which are made from proteins, the proteins are amino acids, we are talking about billions of amino acids, 22 different types, 13 of them can be made, synthesised by the body from foods we eat, but the other 9 specifically need to be added so they are referred to as essential, these have the letter “L” in front when naming them, they are made up of cells…I’m getting there…. trying to explain this in a non medical-speak way so everyone can understand isn’t easy so please bear with me.

That terrible fall I had and being in a position where both legs were twisted beneath me for an hour and a half has resulted in being bedridden since the week before lockdown in March. Trying to build muscle in my thighs is nigh on impossible knowing the damage done to my knees. But having done so much research (being confined to bed enables that) on Amino acids, specifically the nine essential ones, has encouraged me to include them into my daily regimen.
I’ll just clarify that, regardless of what certain naysayers and negative people think, the Ann Boroch Protocol is healing my body of multiple sclerosis, this is happening and that is a fact.. its not my opinion, its a FACT…..
The amino acids I’m taking are specifically the nine essential ones, these are: Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, 
threonine, tryptophan, and valine, I’m taking 5 tablets three times daily.
In only three full days I’m seeing very positive improvements, its as if I can actually feel changes taking place in my thighs and my knees.
Again, the ABP is healing my body of MS, the essential amino acids are building the specific proteins that are rebuilding the damaged connective tissue and generating muscle, thats not my opinion, its happening, I’m so confident of this that I genuinely believe I’ll be out of bed walking, with the aid of a walker within two weeks….. two flipping weeks, after over seven months confined to bed…
So I’m putting my money where my mouth is…two more weeks and I’ll be writing specifically about the incredible changes…

Trust me, I’m not a doctor…

But I’m still…

Seven months is a long time, well its not when considered in comparison  to a life span, or the length of time it takes to walk from Lands End to John O’Groats..but when thought of as being confined to bed, which I have it is a long time.
Seven months ago I had a nasty fall that resulted in some serious damage to both knees.
So apart from 30 minutes in the bathroom each day, my lockdown has been in my bed.
Yesterday was good and bad, I actually went out for the first time in 22 months, experiencing cool, cold fresh air was soooo good, I was taken in an ambulance to Bassettlaw hospital which is about 25 minutes away for an x-ray on both knees.
As I’ve said before I have what I consider to be a Hummingbird bladder, water passes my lips and minutes later it leaves…. not wants to leave, but leaves regardless of where I am, so I made significant changes in the quantity of water I drank in the morning before I left. I know that a lack of water is terrible for me, I knew I could get very weak with limited water and lack of electrolytes.
That was the second good part, as in I didn’t need to “go” while out.
The bad part was when I got home, I live in a 350 yr old converted barn which is lovely.
My bedroom is downstairs but because of a chest of drawers and my bed it wasnt possible to get the wheelchair close.
So one of the guys, not paramedics, went infant to help me off the wheelchair and onto my bed…
Uh oh… what happened was I stood but because of a lack of water and added electrolytes primarily, my legs buckled beneath me, the pain was excruciating for what seemed an eternity until the second guy could get over the wheelchair. The noise coming out of my mouth must have sounded horrendous to my poor sister watching.
They eventually got me onto and into bed,  I was in quite a lot of pain for several hours yesterday but okay…ish today.
I’ve worn a very strong knee brace for part of the day which has helped a great deal and I was able to get out of bed and onto the comode without help, and fortunately I’m not in pain today.

I think it will be a couple of weeks before I see results of the x-ray and unlikely to have an operation this year, but this is just a speedbump on my road to recovery and has nothing to do with the life changing problem I’m dealing with..
I’m not sure multiple sclerosis has ben talked of as a problem I’m dealing with, the world of medicine think of it as an incurable disease. Not me or thousands of others currently following or have  successfully completed the Ann Boroch Protocol.
Yes Seven months being confined to bed has been a pain in the proverbial.
But this is me so I’m looking at the big picture, it might take a little longer to heal than I originally thought…..
But I’m still optimistic
