Defying the Limits of MS Through Self Love

Summary

A former Marine, age 31, was diagnosed with MS in 2017 and medically retired, with his neurologist predicting he'd be in a wheelchair by age 30 based on his condition. His initial symptoms at his first week-long event in November 2023 (which his wife secretly paid for) included significant vision problems in his left eye, severe balance issues preventing him from standing still, and difficulty walking in straight lines or any distances, severely limiting his activities. During his second walking meditation at the event, he had his first mystical experience with a profound feeling of truly loving himself for the first time in his life, which eliminated his constant anxiety and depression. Since then, with a daily 6am meditation practice before his family wakes, his mental outlook transformed dramatically, stopping him from constantly thinking about his diagnosis, which has halted or reversed his MS progression, shocking his neurologist who couldn't believe he was still walking and not in a wheelchair as predicted.
