Looking back on my life so far its been, hmm how should I describe it… different, interesting exciting… all of the above, it certainly hasn’t been boring.
I know I’m in an unenviable position now but rest assured that I’ve a lot more to do in my life and I’m 100% positive I’ll achieve it.
I was born in 1955 in a tiny 2 bedroom house with no bathroom, at that time in Liverpool it was only posh wealthy people that had bathrooms..(kids these days have no idea how lucky they are).
We played in the street with a ball or climbed in the houses that were derelict after ww2, affectionately known as “the bombdees”..
In 1971 (May 4th) I left school and joined the army… well I actually went to the Army Apprentice College at Chepstow in South Wales to further my education. I got my degree in Building Construction and Building Science…and I also
qualified for my City and Guilds as a carpenter and joiner and then became a Combat Engineer in the Royal Engineers, years later I married and after a two year spell running my own small Handyman business, I got into sales and I had more than 24 years in the I.T. industry.
During those years I did almost a thousand skydives, I qualified as a Hang glider pilot, a SCUBA diver and I got my pilots licence in only 43 hours, quite good as the national average in the USA where I qualified is 75 hours.
I was in the Guiness Book of Records in 1989 as I was part of the 60 way skydiving formation which at the time was the biggest in the UK. After my 2nd divorce I moved to the USA and lived in the beautiful state of Colorado for 11 years, during which I was the Client service director for Dr Hal Huggins who at the time was the world leading authority in biological dentistry and body chemistry rebalancing, I learnt a great deal and personally helped thousands of people.
Between the army and 2008 I’ve had 3 marriages, the first I was an idiot…but had 2 children who for some unbeknown reason haven’t talked to me in 8 years. My 2nd wife cheated on me and left me for her personal trainer. The 3rd ran off a Hispanic guy she worked with and took me for everything, then left me with a $125,000 debt.. luckily all cleared now.
This isn’t a post to brag about some of my achievements, its to say I’m quite happy about the full life I’ve lead thus far, especially looking back to when as an 18 yr old squaddie I was asked what I’d be doing when I was 50 yrs old…
My reply was…”50….50..yrs old!!! I’ll be dead before I’m 50… 50 yrs old is ancient”.
And as yesterday was my 65th birthday and I’ve proved 4 neurologists wrong who stated… categorically stated that I’d be in a wheelchair permanently if I didn’t take their drugs… sorry prescribed medication, that was 16 yrs 8 months ago and I’ve never have taken any MS medication.
Admittedly I’m in bed now, but thats not because of multiple sclerosis, its because I had a nasty fall, buggered my knees and getting a surgery is unlikely because of the Pandemic..
The point of this post is to emphasise that regardless of the good and bad things that have happened, my choice is to accept that those good, bad, exciting, frustrating things are in the past… nothing can be done about the past…
Its now that matters, Now!!! Do whats necessary to make sure you have a future…
I developed multiple sclerosis almost 17 years ago but I’m 3 years into the Ann Boroch Protocol which may take 4 or 5 years in total before my body is healed. Considering that the neurologists have said that MS is incurable, I am very happy about the progress I’m making and I honestly believe eating the protocol foods from now on is a very small price to pay to have my life back.
