Every Multiple Sclerosis is different

A thing I am pretty sure about is, that every MS is different to the other. Maybe not just “the big three” (PPMS, SPMS, RRMS) are existing, but dozens or even hundreds of forms exist. They seem to be as individual as the patient.

Its one Reason why Scientists can´t help us

Unfortunately I think they will never be able to and this makes me really sad. Sure, the effects of this disease are similar. The myelin around the nerves is sclerotizing and this has similar effects, but the reasons behind it and the healing(!) are completely individual.

Sure, there are many things that can help!

But the key to healing lies within everybody her- or himself. Yoga, Meditation and a careful diet are important and can help, but even though they might help a majority of patients, its not guaranteed it will help you or me.

We are as individual as our disease.

Namaste

It’s not the meditation and it’s not the yoga. It’s not the jamu, it’s not the fruits and it’s not Bali or Indonesia.

It’s much more, it’s the sum of it all together. I don’t want to call it holistic, because it’s not, but the mind working together with the body, is important and finally I am starting to feel a bit(!) better.

Self-Hatred and beautiful Encounters

I hate nazis, I hate my disease, I hate changes, I hate bad people, I hate lies, I hate people with extreme positions… I hate many things these times, but maybe most of all I hate myself. To heal, I think it is important for me to realize this.

Hm… Easy said, no?

Yes, this is not easy to do (and probably not easy to understand!) but I am working on that. By trying to be a better person than I had been most of my life. For this I am using a lot of self-reflection, a lot of thinking, meditation and, last but not least, a lot of swimming.

What are your beautiful Encounters?

On good days, where my personal sky turns from black to blue, I valuate my encounters different. I started to see beauty in people and even in situations I haven’t seen any kind of beauty earlier.

This is good, no? 

Realizing this is definitely good, yes., but its a freakin long and hard way to profoundly change ones thinking and still I am only at the very beginning.

Mamut Menteng

The phrase “Mamut Menteng” is in Dayak-language and means “good and brave” and “courageous”, which sums up pretty good how I have to feel about my plans.

At the moment I am still very sick, but Mamut Menteng to me became a phrase that I am repeating to myself quite often as kind of my own mantra.

In Kalimantan it is even a classic, kind of national song about independence and almost every child can sing it. So I decided its a good slogan for my own Kalimantan-“Project”.

What I gave up

I gave up the hope to find a good traditional healer who knows a certain trick how to heal Multiple Sclerosis. Neither the trick nor the healer do exist. Neither modern science will ever find an “Anti-MS-Pill”.

In my opinion nothing like that will ever exist.

But I am sure…

…the answer is just lying within me. Like Made-Oka and Dewa already said, I have to heal my mind and the body will follow. It not even has to last super long, but it will take some time.

Why am I going to Kalimantan then?

In short: I hope this experience and the healing people there will blow and reset my mind.
