Turn Disability into Possibility (Feat. Ben Fallon)

so you've been on this protocol for like eight years

yeah i started in february of 19 um The neurologist and the MS nursing team, and I don't fault them.

I'm actually grateful for it because had they not said it, I don't think I would have responded as dramatically as I did.

But they basically said, your MS is so bad and so aggressive and you've experienced so many clinically significant relapses in a short window of time that...

You need to be prepared that the next five years could result in you basically being in a wheelchair and not being able to move independently.

And they were talking about, hey, we could talk about stem cell transplants.

Because this is so aggressive.

But there's a 1% to 2% mortality rate.

And so we don't want to take that risk of you dying on the operating table.

So we'll go with a full body chemo bust instead.

But it was 0 to 100.

It was code red right away.

And so I thought, if I don't make... dramatic life-altering decisions, my life will be forever altered.

And so, I discovered this, or my friend introduced me to this nutritional protocol that basically changed the life of an American doctor who had progressive MS and was just deteriorating, deteriorating, deteriorating.

Nothing was working.

No pharmaceutical drugs were working.

And then she kind of invested in this nutritional protocol and she completely changed her life and turned her life around and stopped the progression of the disease.

She didn't cure herself, but came basically as close to that as possible.

And so I just, I remember thinking, okay, this is what it's like when somebody puts a gun to your head.

It's like, do this or else.

Now, I wasn't going to physically die, but everything that I had thought my life was going to be about, everything that I had dreamed my life was going to be about was now under a death threat.

That being moving freely and playing with my kids and going to the gym and playing sports and doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted completely independently.

It was like, okay, this is...

That life is under a death threat unless I do something so dramatic.

And so my wife and I, we went to Hawaii.
