In April of 2008 I attended my first Huggins clinic, not as a patient but as Doc’s assistant, scary…..
I’d joined 6 months previously when I was told I’d be actively participating with the teaching of his protocols so I went through a very intense study program. In Doc’s words it would be “a baptism by fire”. I read several of the books he’d written and studied the actual program which was extremely in depth as you can imagine. His philosophy on healing was based on body chemistry re-balancing which required analysing the specifics of each individuals blood. Doc over a 30 year period had specialised in correcting or re-balancing the irregularities that hopefully would restore their health. This wasn’t a simple process although the description may have sounded that way. Over the years I gained a detailed understanding of what was wrong within the intricate components that made up the life sustaining fluid. That being said I think my understanding, as detailed as it was, was about as much information that could have been stored in doc’s little finger….
In the first 6 months I not only learned a great deal through the reading and sitting in on his many consultations but the understanding and “knowing” was invaluable when it came down to truly helping others in need.
The first day I was to be “teaching” involved me sitting alongside doc at the front of the class. The “Baptism by fire” involved doc and I in a double act sharing how and why all the patients had become sick, there is a very narrow band when looking at 34 components of the blood, there are many more but there was 34 that were considered the most important. Sadly over the years as people indulge in toxins residing in adulterated food and drinks that have lost so much of their genuine nutrition and it’s become accepted by western doctors that the narrow band in their opinion has become much wider resulting in many illnesses that could have been easily avoided.
When it came down to each individual patient obviously doc would spend a lot of “one on one” time as this required his unique knowledge and expertise, and in reality it would have been unfair and insulting to the individual patient if I’d considered myself knowledgeable or experienced enough to be there.
A patient I’d dealt with prior to him attending “Jeffrey” was a lovely man. Very successful, very wealthy and very happily married. He had noticed a sudden and rapid decline in his health. He’d called me after he’d had extensive tests with several doctors in some of the country’s top hospitals only to be told that he had a disease that was incurable and nothing could be done for him. ALS is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis which in my humble opinion is the worst of the worst, it is a 3 to 5 year death sentence, I think everyone will know of Stephen Hawking who is unique as the disease has inflicted it’s hideous symptoms but for some unbeknownst reason he has survived for many years.
Initially Jeffrey made quite remarkable improvements that enabled and he and his lovely wife “Darlene” to have a much better end of time before he very sadly passed.
The heading of this post is So Lucky, and that’s how I think of myself, yes it’s true that having MS is horrible but I am so lucky that it’s not the death sentence called ALS
