ABOUT THE FOUNDER   Johan Jacobs - Conquering Multiple Sclerosis At the young age of 30 years, at the prime of my life, I was diagnosed with the dreaded disease called Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is normally a progressive crippling autoimmune disease targeting the central nervous system. An autoimmune disease is described in lay man terms where the effected one’s immune system is over reacting thereby destroying its own body tissue. With MS it is the central nervous system that is attacked. This is most bizarre. Why would one’s own body guard turn on itself, destroying its own tissue?

At the time when the diagnosis was made I was very active, fit, strong and vibrant, having worked in the engineering industry for 10 years. I’ve done many hikes in the mountains, half marathons, completed three consecutive Argus Cycle tours, done scuba diving, fly-fishing, golf. Overall, I was a naturalist with a love and active passion for nature and outdoor activities. I even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. My thinking pattern at that stage was that health and fitness were closely related and that only inactive people were really at risk of sickness. This was a major mistake. As you will see later, I discovered that our society is filled with mine fields of misinformation, deceptions, toxins, as well as a lack of knowledge regarding care of our bodies. Two years before I was diagnosed with MS, I was diagnosed with optic neuritis – one of the symptoms being double vision – which lasted for ±6 weeks. This condition is often a precursor of MS. Unfortunately I did not know this and was misdiagnosed at Grootte Schuur Hospital in Cape Town after a CT-scan and other comprehensive medical and eye tests were done.

1. At times my right arm and hand would have limited fine motor control. E.g. I could not insert a key into a key-hole of a door.
2. My right leg started to drag.
3. Occasionally my tongue would slur. It would sound as if I was severely under the influence of alcohol.
   These symptoms would last only for a couple of minutes all the symptoms would disappear, but would reappear at random.

When I noticed my tongue starting to slur, I knew it was not my back and became convinced that something was seriously wrong in my central nervous system. For months I’ve gone to doctors taking x-rays of my back, searching for a pinched nerve.

With all these new symptoms I went to a physician and with comprehensive tests I was diagnosed with MS within a week.
 
Diagnostic methods used:

1. Lumber puncture - testing of the spinal fluid.
2. MRI scan - identified white spots scattered over the brain, better known as lesions. This could be described as spots where the brain was attacked by its own immune system and where damage was caused.
3. Extensive eye tests.
   Because I was unaware and not informed of the standard prognosis and the disease stats, I thought the MS symptoms would disappear, so I told myself not to worry. I was convinced I could simply sweat it out. Unfortunately, MS is not a cold or a flue that can simply be shrugged off. I was later rudely awakened as I discovered that you can be very fragile and vulnerable when you are sick.

The initial symptoms at diagnoses got worse and became more frequent. I also discovered and studied the statistics and prognosis of MS. I now knew that MS was not a simple disease that you can sweat out, swallow a pill or that will simply heal and disappear over time. Internally my future all of a sudden looked dark and gloomy. I felt exposed. I knew I had to do something, but I was totally unprepared for the journey that was to follow. 

What intrigued me, is that nobody knew what caused MS, and that they say it could be caused by a food allergy, environmental factors, or an unknown virus. This I could not understand, as I was under the impression that the latest medical technology there should be hard facts, reasons, answers and solutions. I guess back then I was looking for a quick solution. What I soon learned and what you will see in my testimony is that because MS is a grey area in the medical field with no sustainable and real solutions, MS sufferers tend to experiment with an array of different remedies and alternatives. People become desperate and you will virtually turn the world around in searching for answers if quality of life, dignity and life are squeezed out of you.

It was a prayer request and three months after being diagnosed, my wife, Alicia, and I were introduced to a new life-style. The fundamentals of this new life-style seemed so sensible, so we whole-heartedly and fully embraced it. Within 6 weeks, ±95% of the MS symptoms disappeared, my energy levels soared and as a bonus all my allergic symptoms vanished. I’ve never had flu or a cold for approx two years. It became evident that my immune system was firing on all cylinders. I was doing something right, but there still remained a ± 5% missing link. After running I would feel off balance, battling to walk on a straight line. These bizarre symptoms would normally last for ±30 minutes, where after I would revert to normal. Every time I exercised, I knew that something was still not in order. This motivated me to continue reading and researching.

Experiencing all these reactions and benefits of this new life style, prompted me to study and research an array of literature regarding healthy living. It was a very exciting and stimulating time. In one book I read that dental amalgam fillings could be a MS causing and aggravating factor. In an effort to rid myself of the last 5% of the MS symptoms, I had all my silver amalgam fillings removed. At that stage I lacked sufficient knowledge regarding the dangers of incorrect removal of amalgam fillings. Now I know that Amalgam’s contain ±52% Mercury - one of the most toxic chemicals on the planet. NB: There is a very specific procedure for removing Mercury Amalgam filings. Within a month after I had all my mercury amalgam fillings removed using the incorrect procedure, as well as having a root canal installed, a great health disaster hit me. Health wise it was a major catastrophe for me. My health rapidly deteriorated and within weeks I could no longer run. Within months of being super fit, I could now only walk limped ±500m at a time and was feeling very weak. In addition, I became very heat sensitive and lost the fine motor movements in my right arm and leg. I would drop things from my right hand; I would bump into a wall or against other people. The disease now became primary progressive with new symptoms every month or even every week. At this stage I was experiencing a lonely nightmare trip that continuously tormented me, for me there are not enough words to describe. NB: I want to proclaim to the world that mercury amalgams are very dangerous, and if you want them removed, please contact me for first hand information and advice. You only have one chance of doing it safe and correct. Rather leave the filling where it is, it is safer there than to remove it incorrectly thereby spiking your toxic exposure of mercury. Rather wait until you have all your ducks in a row and are well informed and equipped, before having this procedure done.

Another dramatic year followed, where my symptoms just got worse and I could experience that the life was virtually squeezed out of me. I could not understand why this was happening; I only remember being highly emotional about my state of health almost on a daily basis. At one stage I wondered whether I would ever recover and survive this terrible nightmare. 

Due to MS I lost my profession late in 2003 and early 2004 I was declared medically unfit to operate as an engineer. I was retrenched by the company I then worked for. This was an utterly dark time for me. I was now so weak and tired (poisoned) that I was sleeping until late mornings and sometimes until midday. I had a beautiful wife and a young daughter that I could not care for. The frightful thought that I could end up in a wheelchair was now becoming a reality, and with the progression of the MS at that stage it seemed like only a couple of months away. If my left leg was as affected as my right leg I would have been in a wheelchair. I still remember being emotional in font of my dad, expressing my concerns. At that stage of my life I felt completely lost and at times severely suicidal, due to the strong medicine I was taking as well as the emotional trauma and pain I was enduring. I was basically a young man in an old man’s body. It was only the grace of God that kept me alive.

Treatments I have used, not in chronological order:

1. Juicing therapy. This helped initially. Later on when I was desperate I was juicing twice or even sometimes three times a day. At that stage it had a minimal effect on my health as I was loaded with heavy metal toxins.
2. Bee Venom Therapy (BVT). At one stage I’ve allowed myself to be stung by 16 bees every second night. You would hold the bee close to the area where you wanted it to sting you, allow it to sting you and then leave the sting in so as to allow all the poison to be absorbed by the body. It worked to and extent for a couple of weeks, but then one night I nearly died after accidentally overdosing on bee poison. I experienced a severe allergic reaction to bees. This treatment was recommended by Pat Wagner, the bee lady in the USA, who also had MS. She had good results with BVT and as a result became a passionate proponent of its use. A friend recommended her after seeing her on Carte Blanche. Fortunately, my brother advised me to keep anti-histamine close by, while I was doing this BVT. The night I reacted I took more than double the recommended dosage. I felt weak and sleepy. I was glad to see the light the following morning.
3. Stinging nettle therapy. This therapy was recommended in a book called “The Green Pharmacy.” It entailed flagellating oneself with young nettle sprigs in order to induce a corresponding reaction from the body, thereby leading to healing from MS. This therapy is very similar to BVT. I tried it for one month, but it yielded no benefits.
4. Supplementation. Apart form doing standard food supplementation regimes which were doubled and tripled at times, I was eager to experiment with any (sometimes extraordinary) alternative treatments recommended by health professionals. At times my supplementation expenses for the month accrued to ±R4 000-00. It helped a little bit, but since the root cause of the MS was still present, the gradual health decline continued unabated. 
5. Cortisone. During 2003 I was hospitalised on three occasions, each time receiving high doses of cortisone, Solimedrol, intravenously for three consecutive days and then orally for 3 more weeks. This treatment was not a solution – it merely sought to treat the symptoms, without addressing the root causes of MS. The disease still was aggressive progressive.
6. Interferon: Early in 2003 I started with Interferon Beta treatment. This Interferon did not help me and my neurologist advised me to switch to Rebif which I also used for 6 months. None of these treatments proved to be of any help. If anything, they only made me more emotional and suicidal as the MS symptoms were worse the day after the injections which I received every two days. I also usually experienced a fever the night of the injection. Interferon Beta treatment weakened the immune system leading to easily contracting the flu, as well as flu-like symptoms and muscle pain every second day after an injection. You need to take ± 4 Brufins after every shot in order to counter the muscle pain and flu-like symptoms.
7. Vit B12 supplementation therapy. Later I have learned this is aggravating MS as Vit B12 is a methylator of inorganic Mercury and it is turning it in a far more neurotoxic element methyl mercury.
8. Quantum Machines and energy healing. No benefits.
9. Anti-depressants and many more.

When you are sick, you are so desperate and exposed that you would naively grasp at any straw of hope. I’ve learned in hind sight that some toxins are just too strong for the body and its own immune system. I can compare this phenomenon to nuclear weapons - your body cannot overcome it nor successfully remove it. You are wasting your effort, time and money by treating the symptoms. The root cause of the toxins first need to be removed. If the root cause of toxins is not effectively removed, you will just waste valuable nutrients, antioxidants and energy in order to neutralise the constant source of these toxins and fee radicals.

Toxicology:
 
In the midst of this trauma, nothing helped any more and I was exhausted and hopeless to know there is now nothing that you can do anymore. At no 99.99 this dimension regarding the effect of toxins in causing and exacerbating diseases was revealed to me by the grace of God. Unknowingly then my recovery started while delivering macadamia nut butters as a time consumer for the days spent at home. I have gone to a health shop in Somerset West, where a dear brother in the Lord by the name of John Livingstone, exposed my problem. After having read an article which he gave me, the penny finally dropped. I pulled my dental history from my dentist at the time and studied my dental history and the contents of this article regarding toxicology made sense and a ray of hope shone in this dark and foreboding tunnel. Basically I was poisoned with mercury and other dental toxins. The good news was that there was hope for recovery.

It was really by the grace of God that He empowered me to go for treatment to the following 2 international healing centres. By this time I was without a work and my wife provided for us and we had no extra money. Within 3 weeks after I’ve read this article, God provided for me to go to Australia. During April 2004, I visited two health centres in Australia where I received a list of treatment:

1. Living Valley Springs (LVS) near Noosa on the Golden (East) Coast.
2. Eric Davis Dental in Brisbane.

These visits were the start of a new beginning for me and proved instrumental in my recovery. At LVS it was verified that mercury poisoning was the primary cause of MS as a whole range of tests (hair, blood and urine) revealed mercury as the root cause. Mercury detoxification treatment started and within weeks the primary progressive prognosis of the disease stopped. It was so fantastic, only healing symptoms. It was early days then, but to date I have not had any knew symptoms of MS…only healing symptoms. For this I am truly grateful and thankful to God. Regaining my health was slow but sure during this period. I researched and learned more and studied a book called “Solving the MS Mystery” by Dr Hal Huggins. Dr Huggins is a key founder of MS and autoimmune disease therapy in the USA. In just more than a year since I first learned about Dr. Huggins’s treatment centre, God paved the way for me to go there as well.

In Colorado Springs, USA, at the Huggins Diagnostic centre, they removed three cavitations and along with it the toxins released by them into the body. Cavitations are sites where diseased teeth have been removed, without the removal of the periodontal ligament. If this periodontal ligament, situated in the tooth-socket (alveolus), is not removed, the body then perceives the tooth to still be present, thus causing the bone to only partially grow over the former tooth site. This ultimately leads to the formation of a cavity in the jaw bone. Cavitations primarily contain dead body tissue, anaerobic bacteria and their toxic by-products which filter continuously into the surrounding bone and blood stream. I have learnt that cavitations in the jaw bone create an environment where anaerobic bacteria can proliferate and are pumping toxins into the body 24/7. According to Dr Huggins and my personal experience, these anaerobic bacterial toxins in a cavity or root-channel are far more neurotoxic than amalgam fillings.

My three (two lower wisdom teeth, as well as the removal of the root channel treated tooth) cavitations were cleaned in a dental operation. Within a week I started to feel the benefits and almost every month I am still recovering from almost being confined to a wheelchair. 

It has now been nearly 4½ years since I have had a need to see a neurologist. My health and strength continue to improve unabated. Through this process, I discovered that the body’s central nervous system (CNS) can and does heal, although it is slower and takes longer than the rest of the body.

Herewith below some of the health highlights I experienced over the last 6 years of my recovery:

1. The severe tiredness is all gone. While I was very sick I used to sleep some days until 13h00 in the afternoons.
2. Regained bladder control. During the heyday of my MS struggle I had difficulty to control my bladder function and also suffered from polyuri (more frequent visits to the toilet).
3. Severe spasms in my neck and shoulders have disappeared.
4. My walking has become normal again. Five years ago, when I was still sick, I was limping, my right leg being noticeably thinner than my left leg.
5. I can now walk almost 5km, 300m was my limit four years ago. I even started to jog short distances as I continue to regain my strength.
6. I can move the toes of my right foot again and it’s getting stronger and stronger. A few years ago it was an effort to move any of the toes my right foot– even with slow movement I cooked my brain. I can now cross and click them over each other. My foot almost functions normally again.
7. I have regained most of my balance.
8. My right arm and shoulder are also noticeable stronger. I can clip my nails again, wash under my left arm and now find it effortless to tie my shoe laces and shirt buttons.
9. I am not heat sensitive any more. I am once again able to mow the lawn. Previously, even mild exercise such as this would have paralyzed me.
10. Most importantly, over a period of more than 4 years, I have had no new devastating MS symptoms. 

Through this experience, I’ve learned three fundamental and wonderful aspects regarding God’s creation. Without these God-created physiological laws, it would have been impossible for me (as well as all of mankind) to survive.

1. Man was perfectly created with a maintenance plan for all the body’s cells; ± 100 trillion of them are continuously being replaced with new ones. For example, the outer layer skin cells (the epidermis cells) are continuously being replaced every ± 6 weeks, the blood cells ±10 weeks and the heart cells ± every 5 months. Thus the body is self-maintaining. 
2. I also first hand experienced and now know and believe that God has created us with a self-healing body. For example, if you cut yourself the wound will heal under the right conditions. The same applies to the interior of the human body. Even the brain can heal itself. 
3. Nutrition – Our building blocks for cell maintaining and healing.
   I praise the Lord for my recovery, His mercy bestowed upon me, as well as the self-healing and self-maintaining body that He created us with as well as the knowledge He empowered me with. 

The two most significant aspects regarding health which I’ve learned and experienced are quoted as follows as 
“two main causes of sickness” from the book Health and Happiness (p76) by E.G. White:

• “Unhealthy conditions (toxins, mercury and other dental toxins in my case) and wrong habits to be corrected.
• Bad nutrition – “Nature to be assisted in her effort.” God’s creation speaks of a self-healing and self-maintaining body. We need good (whole, raw, unprocessed, fresh and organic) food as building blocks for optimum cellular maintenance and repair. As Hippocrates said, “Food truly is our medicine.”

In my case I’ve done the second step first and the most important aspect, which is the removal of toxins, was done last and unfortunately completely wrong. I was acutely poisoned by mercury and other dental toxins, but sadly I was completely unaware of this hidden and unseen dimension. 

It is clear that if you want to be healed, it is imperative that you need to remove the root cause of the problem. It is definitely not correct and a complete waste of time, energy and money to treat the symptoms. I’ve been there and done that. It is mind blowing that we accept and ingest foods, remedies, medicines, etc. hook, line and sinker, thinking that all is good for our health. Most people are so brain washed that they do not even think of the negative consequences their decisions of today will bear of their health tomorrow. We have become so reliant on quick fixes that if a health disaster hit us, we follow the “experts” giving up our control over our health, because we believe we are not informed nor equipped enough with “expert” information. We should be informed and we need to take control of our marvellously created bodies. Our bodies are a true piece of art, but due to modernisation the human race has lost the knowledge to wisely look after themselves.

Nutrition – our building blocks:
Once all toxins and foreign chemicals are all removed, we must start to nourish the body with good nutrients in order to heal, maintain and to protect the body. Unfortunately, (so I discovered), the standard western diet and food chain are so adulterated that most food industries have made our food-chain empty of nutrients and toxic (food preservatives and nutrients lost by heat processing) for the sake of logistical benefits and ultimately better profit margins. 

Typical examples are:

1. Genetically modified/engineered products are on the increase.
2. Non-organic food items, meaning more foods are loaded with pesticides and toxic chemicals.
3. Non vine ripened fruit. Vital nutrients of the fruit or vegetable are formed in the last week on the vine.
4. Preservatives, thus more toxic chemicals.
5. Highly processed food products.
6. Our water has become polluted and treated with chemicals.
7. We are eating far too much cooked food.
8. Fast foods are all empty calories loaded with chemicals. A total waste of time and money, not to mention the horrific detrimental effect on health.

Tragically, the human race is the only species on planet earth to make its own food chain:

• Empty (almost void of good nutrition)
• Old (not fresh / often preserved for longer shelf-life), as well as 
• Toxic (full of preservatives and toxic chemicals) before we eat it.

We are supposed to be more intelligent and clever than the animals. Unfortunately most of us are ignorant, uninformed, mislead and deceived regarding these matters.

What I’ve learned is that you must take control over what you put into your mouth. Your stomach is not a rubbish bin. We do not only eat for pleasure and energy, but also to supply our bodies with the means to maintain, heal and protect itself. 

150 years ago nobody supplemented, but today it is common practice. It is a very sad and extreme state if cognisance is taken that everything was designed for us perfectly. We made our food chain/building material empty and toxic. Thus your body cannot properly maintain, heal and protect itself. Today, the food industry is making us pay double for our food. First, we buy stripped, empty and junk food and then we buy back the stripped nutrients in the form of supplements. It is an absolutely crazy situation.

SOLUTION: (HEALTHY LIFESTYLE MADE EASY)
The lifestyle that our ancestors followed:

• Whole food – containing fresh nutrients/essential cellular building blocks
• Organically produced – no toxins, thus clean food and more nutrient dense.
• Vine ripened food.
• No preservatives – no toxins and foreign chemicals to the body.
• No GM food

Whatever your health challenge, in Jesus Christ there is hope! When I discovered all the above, I had to repent for abusing my body in a negligent way. I literally perished because a lack of knowledge (Hos 4:6).

Pray, repent of your sin and turn from your wrong ways that God may heal you. God wants to heal you, but He desires to see His children wise and informed making clever daily decisions. 

Put your total trust and faith in God – your Saviour, Provider and Healer… He created all for us to be in good health. 

It is GO NATURAL’s mission and passion to assist in:

1. Rediscovering our ancestral, vibrant health promoting food chain which we have been robbed of.
2. Empowering people with knowledge in order to break the reactive paradigm of treating symptoms rather than removing the root causes of disease. 

Thank you and GOD bless you
