Each day I spend a great deal of time thinking about my situation and how I can correct it, looking back to that horrible day in 04 maybe I was wrong in refusing to be officially diagnosed and getting on the medication but I’m glad I did it my way. It could be the arrogance of being half German, I don’t know but in my heart of hearts I feel I’m a better man for not settling for a life of drugs and allowing the disease to have it’s way.
So I continue to try new things and be my own guinea pig. I’ll read and either dismiss the idea from the writer as not applicable or suitable or feasible because of practical or financial reasons. Or I read a document or paper submitted to a medical journal or a book specifically on the health issue plaguing my life and think it could work for me.
It’s a bit like having a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, over the years I’ve managed to put all the pieces making up the sides and corners together. That’s when I feel good about what I’m doing but then I look at the puzzle and see the cat has been in and scratched some pieces around. I don’t have a cat it was just a metaphor.
The book I’m reading at the moment is filling me with hope, the author is making so much sense in her research and explanation of how magnesium is way more important and influential than I originally thought. Yes I’ve advocated the use of magnesium to hundreds of people and family members of late about muscle relaxing and eliminating cramps for women having problems during their periods. But I learnt that there are more than 800, yes 800 enzymes and systems in the body that are dependent on magnesium in order to function correctly.
It’s no surprise then to learn that millions of people are experiencing health problems that can all be because of a magnesium deficiency. So far I’m seeing many indications that the symptoms of my MS are very closely associated with magnesium deficiency. That’s not to say I don’t have MS because I know I do however, the symptomatology is similar. What if the name of this disease is multiple sclerosis but in the past magnesium was not considered and the effects of magnesium deficiency are a multitude of symptoms that has been named MS.
Obviously my ability to run tests on my blood is very limited so it’s the guinea pig and the 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle for now but I will keep you updated, wish me luck…
