Will see if I have any amalgam filings from childhood. I am pretty sure I had them filled with the good stuff, but I am due for a check up so I will ask. Thank you very much.
@irishbear76 Your dentist may try to conivnce you that the silver fillings don't release mercury, but the FDA has already acknowledged that they do, and the EPA says they are the largest source of human mercury exposure. If you have fillings that look like they are filled with metal, they contain 50-70% mercury, no exceptions. There are no metal fillings that don't contain it. Check out Linda Brocato's FDA joint panel testimony on MS and mercury. It's here on YouTube.
@irishbear76 There are lots and lots of testimonies that people have given to the FDA regarding the damage that was done to them from their mercury fillings and also their vaccines (which contain mercury in the form of a preservative called Thimerosal). If you find that this is the case, do some research on Andrew Hall Cutler, who is a chemist from Princeton University and became mercury poisoned from him dental fillings. He wrote a book Amalgam Illness that explains how to cure it.
Humanity's destiny is identical to that of every other species on this planet, past and present. Our 'purpose' is clear, illustrated by our biological structure, and our animal ancestry. We are born, we live to survive long enough for reproduction, and then we die. The question that's posed by many who have an illness considered unfortunate - why me? - is ultimately relevant. We all face death at some point, and people who seem to have it better now will one day ask the same question you have.
I was diagnosed with MS back in 1983.Recently I came across ccsviclinic.ca. They are screening in Fargo, ND. Called (404)461-9560 and spoke to Nurse Lisa. Their Liberation Package includes pre-op video consultation with their doctors, flight costs, visas, accommodation within their hospital premises. The treatment includes stent, medications, reports & post-op followup for next 6 mths. Email:apply@ccsviclinic.ca. Getting liberated mid-October. Thankful to CCSVI Clinic for making this happen!
Wow! That was pretty intense. I don't agree that we chose the things that we now have, but I do firmly believe (as a catholic) that God never gives a cross that we, as a people, can't bear. Your thoughts on our generation of people to make a change is extremely captivating. Let's rage against the ms machine! Dude, I have made another ms friend, thank you!
Mark, have you ever read "Conversations with God" by Dr Wayne Dyer? It goes along with exactly what you are saying... I highly recommend it to everyone. I myself, have read it numerous times and learn new things about our "reality" that we have created for ourselves. Good luck and God bless... I have an appt w/ my neurologist in Sept, to see if I have MS, which I am thoroughly convinced I do. Whether I do or don't, your in my prayers.Your disease is my disease and vice versa. Love you brother
I find it odd that a book was written on this subject and I learned the New Age teachings refer to "life plans". I have a Christian background, had not read the book or even discussed it and then I have this realization.
Sounds to me like God is talking.
I will try to be still and listen.
All is illusion but LOVE. LOVE is the beginning, the end. and the force that keeps the very atom from spinning into entropy.

I have not read the book you speak of, but after making this video many people have referred to it.
The funny thing is. I was just sitting at the computer and I was thinking about a work of fiction I have been working on where the main character interacts with God. I had an epiphany that (although God is in control) He gives us free will before birth and we pick many circumstances in our lives to learn what we need in this reality.
I am also a Christian who has MS. I agree that the Bible refers to God knowing us (held us before we were born, and shaped us in our Mother's wombs). Those were interesting comments........ about your choosing MS. I don't know if I agree with THAT part, but I do think know God chose it. He is in control of every detail in our life. I agree that we were all meant to be a part of each other's life, of that I am thankful. I do want to be a part of freeing others from this disease!
@irishbear76 Very interesting. You may have a point, I have always had a "dim" memory that I can't quite bring to mind, I feel it was "preconception", at least prebirth. It is as if there is "something" right on the tip of memory that I can't quite recollect. BUT, when in my cranky moods, if I agreed to this, I'm going to slap myself right now (LOL). Hugz!! Debbi
I appreciate your talking about so many of the things that are common to all of us, as we wonder "has anyone else experienced this?" Through your videos I realized I am not alone. I think the topic of choice is very important as each of has the choice to be a victim or a fighter. Let's keep choosing to never feel sorry for ourselves and to chose to keep fighting this disease.
Thanks for posting this- I think you have such great things and I really feel like what you have to say helps me feel a little better about my dx. Wonderful video, I agree with you wholeheartedly. :)
A fantastic read Silver birch Native American India speeks via Maurice Barbanell read the one on Q's & Answers
I agree we choose ms and all that happens this time around and by all accounts we choose our parents in return our chrildren choose us and lots more teachings by Silverbirch. like you I could write a book.
Dear Mark, I think I neglected to say in my rave a few days ago that I DO understand what you are saying even though I have a lot of questions too. I also feel this amazing sense of love and compassion for all these wonderful people I have met who share this common experience and it DOES feel like there is something much bigger, even than our illness, and beyond our limited human understanding to have brought us all together like this. ;-)
you mention synchronicity and 'knowing',and that's where my philosophical searching led me too. I can remember telling my mom when I was 3, I would have 4 kids, and even described my first in detail. I recognized my husband the second I met him. I also always felt there was something wrong, and yes, it could be all the other trials we've been through were to prepare us for this monumental battle we are in now. I did 'why me' for one minute, then yup, 'why not'
Great video! I agree with your thoughts. there has to be a reason. I wonder if God asked us "Do you want to help change the world"? "ok, your in this group of people."
I think we all deep inside understand why we have MS. IT is more a gift than anything else. I am connected with you strongly and I haven't even met you. Do you understand this? This awareness between all of us. Mark, is this possible? Can we in this way, by suffering, be all connected, without a need to say any word?
@zedsys95 According to physics. The answer is yes. If you believe we are connected. I do believe we are connected in our suffering, our hope, our LOVE etc... The constant in spiritual teachings is to love your neighbor. Jesus gave two commandments.' 1) TO love God with all that you are. 2) TO LOVE your neighbor as you love yourself. This interconnected relationship we have spans all philosophy, science and religion. It is right there if one chooses to see it. Blessings.
I had the same thoughts about this. It is a little scary. But, everything that happend has a strong logical flow. It is like we are chosen to do this. God give us exactly what we can carry. Our love will set this world FREE! Godbless.
Our love already has set US free and the world will follow suit.
You see we are all like electrons of an atom.
If one electron is perturbed the other (non-directly influenced) electrons reflect the same perturbation.
If you shine a light in the left eye the pupil constricts. IF you notice the right eye (which has not had light directly aimed at it) also constricts.
All people are connected, We MS'ers maybe a little more connected due to organic changes in the brain?
Mark - I love this video, and the way your looking at things. I believe your right, we are the ones who will change the world - the MS world and the bonds and friendships that have been formed through this CCSVI journey are so incredible and strong, how we are all working together to HELP one another and doing it from a place of love. Pretty awesome to be a part of it!!! God Bless!
@Irishbear76 I have found peace, but maybe not in the same way you have :O) Still love your videos, and I hope to play some drums for a new song too :O)
You are awesome!!! I am going for a MRI and Spinal Tap here in a week and then back to the doctor.. My doctor has basically said with all my episodes that it's MS and I have been trying to find channels and people that talk about it and endded up landing on yours. I have to say... You made me think on a lot that you have said.. It's pretty ineresting your thought process on picking what happens to you but in a weird way.. I agree with you.. =}
I live in Canada and CCSVI is going next to nowhere. If you want to get tested it is at private clinics and out of your own pocket. If you want treatment you have to go to another country again out of your own pocket. So my life is in limbo just like so many of the rest of us are
I still make decisions for myself. Free will and what not. In fact. this video alludes to the fact that it is not JUST GOD who acts but our decisions play a huge part too
I am grateful for many things as well as God.
I hope you see the joy in life very soon.
Regards,
Mark
p.s. I have sadness in my heart and I just wanted you to know I care. I hope that you find the peace you so richly deserve.
My friend..Everything you have said here resonates with me. Life contracts or life maps are established, as you suggest, BEFORE, we come here...why would we chose MS? To learn, to teach, to experience? The only one who knows that answer is US, from BEFORE, from the "other side"...I know you will find this interesting..Zoltach Explains Life Contracts and Life Maps (youtube)..peace and light Jayne
My personal beliefs are Christian so I do not do the whole medium, spirit guide type of thing, but I can definitely appreciate things like synchronicity, human connection. Planning aspects of life with God, having an angel who protects me etc...
Love your videos! You look great! I always wondered why I could never figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up.... now, I'm thinking I'm a pretty damn fine advocate fighting to get CCSVI angioplasty available to Canadians! Hmm... Having the treatment in Bulgaria next week... when it works, I'll have the strength to fight harder :) Keep up the good work Irishbear76!
way to go IRISHBEAR 76 You are right, everything happens for a reason. We are on a path, and it's our path. I feel blessed to have such a great group as this. Our MS family keeps us united and strong. Thanks for the video
You made me cry without giving your past history. The hope and love you give is unmeasurable. I go to the websites and youtube when I am in pain, hopeless, depressed, and I get comfort.
I do not know if I chose it, but the mission resonates with me very much. I have been infuriated with the MS protocol for many years and in my soul I felt the corruption way before CCSVI. I was amazed that my feelings were also felt by others when CCSVI emerged.

its a very self serving view point. way to take adversity and turn it ito a "we are the chosen one" attitude. its just negative energy....ive got no love for that.... but congrats on your weight loss...its not insignificant!!! grab and hold on to the positive!!!! youll be happier for it!!!
Congrats on the loss of weight :) Glad your MS is going well right now and are considered "stable RRMS"
As far as the why me bit - why not me is the automatic response for me. Let's hope we do end this thing! Interestingly when I was younger I wanted more attention and saw a girl in my class have an athsma attack and everyone flocked to her so caringly & I thought, I want that! so I secretly wanted an illness like her. Years later boom MS and that haunted me that when I was a silly kid I -
wanted to have an illness to get attention and caring. I don't truly know why I have this but that always haunts me and of course I don't "want" this.
I agree we choose what happens to us again u and I choose MS . We choose all the sadness life experiences like you I too could wright a book hey hum...
I must of been haveing a great day up above to choose all that I must learn this time around -hey we must have been drinking heaven beer
We choose our parents !! fast tracking our chrildren choose us and so on.
Read Silver Birch question and answers he was a Native American Indian
Good, nice to hear about you. Life is hard even for a mollusc these days. Interesting points. It is all a big mystery, no? St. John of the Cross was a big pointer for me. We will have to go on till the end anyway.
Canada has opened up a widow to the world and we need to stay active on the topic. Yes, the patients and their supporter are courageous and we must not forget that. I want everybody to learn. "Canadá ha abierto una ventana al mundo y los pacientes debemos quedarnos activos en este tema. Sí, los y los que los apoyan son valientes y no debemos olvidar ese punto. Yo quiero que todos aprendamos."
@irishbear76 Yes, the cat is out of the bag, but the information is not running fast for the convinience of all patients. The U.S.A. does not has a prevalence study. So MS Patients have a lot of field to be cover.
Yes, there should not be hidding because we are the victims to a Health Condition that we did not ask. The only thing that I have is hope for a cure and information is the best friend we can have. The sad thing is that the light as you call it comes and go and it is not constant
I realise your thoughts are derived from a christian perspective but I've always found the notion of karmic suffering from a Buddhist point of view very distasteful since it suggests our suffering is somehow deserved because of 'bad' actions in previous incarnations. I know this is not what you are alluding to though.
Anyway, take care Mark and I truly hope you can have the angioplasty as soon as possible.
Very thought provoking Mark. I too have entertained these thoughts but I always have a hard time reconciling this idea with the notion of someone 'choosing' a brutal death for eg. I don't know. It certainly places a lot of responsibility on us having contol over our human condition.
My first thought was "he looks great". Then you mentioned the weight loss and it made sense. Congratulations brother, keep up the good work. Glad to see you are remaining stable while waiting for Canada to come on board. Bless you brother.
i remember that day i saw the first video of yours, and it has changed and improved my life.....you have helped to see the positive in the hell we all go through and help us with not kidding ourselves that its not an easy path...but we can get through it together...i can sit and say why me every stinking day...it wont change me...i think this video has gotten to the heart of what a lot of us know in our hearts...With GOD and all of us we will get through it....GOD bless you, sweet friend:)!!
Mark...I agree with what you are saying and feeling here.....I truly believe with all my heart and soul that GOD has chosen this for me with a purpose.....dont know what it is yet, and i ask him often why......i watch and read about all those in our ms family who have been blessed with being liberated...and im filled with so much joy for them....i never thought this would be my life now...but i try to be strong for myself, my family, and my ms family here...(con't).......
Good video, and I also think that we all have asked the question of "why me?"
I think we have to ask the other way around. Why shouldn't it be us? As you say, we have the opportunity, the means and courage.
I have no higher belief in anything particular, but I'm open minded. I remember when I got the diagnose, a former schoolmate of mine asked if his biblegroup could pray for me. I told him to pray for a cure, not me... and well... It startet to get me thinking alot.Well, I'm here to help:)
Looking good Mark - nice hairy chest - get a medallion! As you know, I'm unconvinced by the metaphysical stuff - but maybe I chose to be a sceptic? It's a part I'm happy to play in our 'family', just as I'm glad to have you play the part of the starry-eyed dreamer (and convenient medical expert). Religion can be read as a form of poetry - and our MS world would be far drabber without you x
Last night when I was scrying into a bowl of water and tea leaves, I talked to an Ascended Master who looked a lot like a grey alien, and he assured me that I was not wrong. (I am TOTALLY JOKING) :)
That is the perfect love I am talking about. You saw what appears to be a slippery slope and came in to offer guidance.
NO. I do not believe this because of any viewpoint from any religion. I had an epiphany that our free will starts a bit earlier than I thought.
hi ..... deep words what you say ....I'm a little bit confused .... I can't get the idee that I choose this kind of life .... but there must be a reason ....I keep thinking about your words... thank you ....)
That is what makes me believe that we have fellowship with God before we are born. This MS has brought me FULLY to Jesus. I like to think that we see the bigger picture when fellowship with God comes into play.
Remember. WE are thinking in terms of this world. We are NOT OF THIS WORLD. Who would invite such sorrow? Only someone who knows HIm.
I would choose it again a million times over just to be with Him.
I noticed your weight loss right away! You look great!!! Keep up the great work! I am currently addicted to burgers of all kinds -- just out of the blue that is all I want LOL -- I believe I see things a little deeper now that I have MS -- I basically just believe everything happens for a reason -- my MS put me in the right place at the right time and I have been able to meet so many wonderful people that I don't think I would have met otherwise.
i just watched the whole video and i think what you said was very deep.... Its so sad we live in a world where evil stuff like this happens.. see what humans on earth dont realize is that they are vulnerable to get any type of sickness without them knowing... I think people need to study the value of life...
I don't have to be afraid any more because I am not alone...because you are with me, you think like me, you feel like me...and you are honest, courageous and you are the person that was meant to open my path, open my heart and allow me to FINALLY be truly honest with the rest of the world.
Drugs are NOT the answer: healing will come when we will be ready to understand that the answer is inside of us and that we made a choice to carry this weight on our shoulders.
You have been able to say what I kept inside of me for the longest time...you seem to know what I have inside and you know how to express what I haven't been able to.
I am grateful because, thanks to you, I won't feel afraid to talk about this and I will be able to open up in a way that I haven't been able to do before...
THANK YOU. Like I said before, I wish I could create new words to find a better way to thank you...I have to do it someday because I really want to THANK YOU!
My dear Mark, you took a huge weight off my shoulders. Every video I made, I wanted to talk about this and while I was sharing other thoughts and experiences, I wanted to scream and say to everyone that I knew that the reason why I have MS is because I have caused it to myself. I was afraid of saying what you said. I was scared of saying what you said and I avoided to say it...until now.
YOU are the reason WHY I will stop keeping this inside of me. I don't have to be afraid any more...
Good video. You are always very sincere. I understand where you are coming from when you talk about the trials of MS. I was lucky enough to be raised by parents that were active in music and volunteerism. I have helped, and been helped, by so many people. I always think to myself, "What if there never is a cure?" Will that stop me from caring? Nope. I wish you strength because of your sincerity. Love you too Bear.
Try to think as a child, I just made the same comment to someone an hour ago! So true :o) I have to be honest that I have a problem believing I having chosen this... I think we have a choice to change history with what we are dealt in life. Perhaps we were chosen for such a time as this? I do agree that the earthly journey is to experience and grasp what love truly is and you need the hard times to expose that. You need the darkness to know what light is. Love you too Mark. K
Sometimes I believe in fate and pre-chosen paths, other times I think its all random. I guess those are my struggles. Either way your message of choosing our response and being a better person is a good one.
I really like when you said that we suffer to learn how to truelly love. I also think I am chosen for this, and even if if hurts sometimes, then I was probably chosen for suffering so that I can get to a higher level of conciousness. I have always known I am highly intelligent and very sensitive, and for that I suffer, and my body gets out of balance whenever I do a mistake. But I chose to do those mistakes, and as a result I suffer. And when I suffer, I learn. Thank you for reminding me of why.
For more than 10 years I ask myself this 'why?' Most of the time my answer was: I did too much my best or I tried too much to be perfect. All that stress made me too Yang, and so are my jugular veins.
Your answer is perfect, I can't do anything and my life is exactly
the way I need it to be, Finally rest. The liberation will take place one day when it's time to have it done. Thursday I'll vist Private Scan in Dusseldorf . Thank you for playing and singing 'Halleluja'.
First off it is great to see you again, and you look fab!! I have never been a person who belives in organzied religon. A friend gave me the books Converstions with God. It basically says the same thing you did in your video.
We chose this life to expierence this and that the people in our life have chose to be a part of our experience etc. The whole deja vue things and how things come when it is most needed. Some do not like the books, I found them to be true for me.
@irishbear76 If you do read them let me know what you think. I have to say I never had one of those why me moments, I always thought why not me? I have had my own pity parties when my MS acts up and that is just a way of venting I guess.
You never know what can happen and I always looked at it like I could get hit by a bus or cancer anything could have happened to me. So the fact that I am still here and coping to the best of my ability is a blessing in it's own.
Get liberated Mark. Please do it if u can. Money can always be replaced.
...BTW,
I did not choose MS. I hate it. But maybe it chose me ! I think about other people that are ill. Cancer for example. They must be having a difficult life. There might be cure for them as well ... and they are simply been denied.
I never considered myself brave but my friends and family think that I am for trying to get treated. I'm just praying that my IR will get IRB approval to do angio. Once approved, all I have to do is lie on the table. It was scarier to get the venogram and believe that there was stenosis when those same friends and family thought that I was crazy for being tested.
I sure wouldn't have chosen this, or cancer, or any other disease on purpose, haha! What I DO choose is how I handle it. It's amazing to me how, from my POV, all I'm doing is carrying on with life as usual. But other people tell me that I inspire them, and I'm always like "Why? I'm just doing what I do!" We all have a cross to bear. Some are more obvious than others. Some are more mysterious than others. They culminate what I call our personal "glory story." We just get more daily victory ;-)
I have noticed my personal journey turning more spiritual along with my friends with ms. We pray for people we have met on fb. We rejoice in the small and large improvements with more hope for the future with tears in our eyes as we watch the before and after videos. We are in this together, an amazing community, making history , using the internet to educate ourselves and others.
Oh Mark, you always relate your thoughts and inspirations so well! the ccsvi goings on is YES overwhelming, and as you am stable at the moment and lack the funds to travel etc. my mission is to help my friend across town she is PPMS, and the help am getting from this family here is dear to my heart........... finding this group really helped save me! along with connecting back to my church. Good to hear from you as always
Susan. Thank you for saying I relate my thoughts well. YOu are too kind. This vid was a bit of a mess, but the subject matter is pretty deep for a Tuesday morning.
I guess we will continue to get help from our MS family and help our MS family in any way we can.
Good to see a video from you my friend, you've been missed. From a Christian perspective, one could also talk about God's plan for us. I've always felt unlucky, but I've found a new sense of greater purpose to reach out and help those who are suffering. Perhaps God chose us & this is his designated plan for us to reach out. I'm not particularly deeply religious, but it seems odd that I've been enabled to see and dialog with the doctors I have. For the first time, i've been very lucky.
Yup. We are pretty lucky when you really think about it.
I guess free will started earlier than I previously thought.
I have been exploring the relationship I have with God and it has brought life, into a perspective that was lost for me.
Everytime I look at a baby I think "This child knows everything and sees things clearly and he/she will forget it once they are able to articulate it".
I think this is a common intuition from what I read.
I will start looking for your video.. NOW.(maybe a video response?)
This is pretty much where my brain has been since I made my last video.
I have to continue discussing this.
I think there are many MS'ers out there (and loved ones of MS'ers) who will benefit from this message and hopefully it will bring a better understanding of what "it" is all about.

That is a rather analytical response to a video I made about something I was feeling.
The video has SPIRITUAL undertones that obviously do not resonate with you.
A life without purpose is an utter waste of a life.
If procreation before mortality is your purpose then so be it.
It is my destiny to love God, my fellow man, and mother earth. I see nothing irrelevant about that.
Blessings,

I agree that we were all meant to be a part of each other's life, of that I am thankful. I do want to be a part of freeing others from this disease!

@dely1112
Do not get me wrong.
I understand God is in control and has ALL power.
When I say WE chose it, I am saying that I feel that we discuss this with God.
In His Perfect Love, I believe, God allows for us to choose and then he straightens our path as needed.
Ultimately, it is DEFINITELY GOD'S DECISION.
It is difficult to talk about this without it sounding humanistic.(Satan)
Humans are hedonistic naturally, overall. It is ONLY the presence of God within that triumphs.

@irishbear76 Very interesting. You may have a point, I have always had a "dim" memory that I can't quite bring to mind, I feel it was "preconception", at least prebirth. It is as if there is "something" right on the tip of memory that I can't quite recollect. BUT, when in my cranky moods, if I agreed to this, I'm going to slap myself right now (LOL). Hugz!! Debbi

I appreciate your talking about so many of the things that are common to all of us, as we wonder "has anyone else experienced this?" Through your videos I realized I am not alone. I think the topic of choice is very important as each of has the choice to be a victim or a fighter. Let's keep choosing to never feel sorry for ourselves and to chose to keep fighting this disease.

Dear Mark, I think I neglected to say in my rave a few days ago that I DO understand what you are saying even though I have a lot of questions too. I also feel this amazing sense of love and compassion for all these wonderful people I have met who share this common experience and it DOES feel like there is something much bigger, even than our illness, and beyond our limited human understanding to have brought us all together like this. ;-)

you mention synchronicity and 'knowing',and that's where my philosophical searching led me too. I can remember telling my mom when I was 3, I would have 4 kids, and even described my first in detail. I recognized my husband the second I met him. I also always felt there was something wrong, and yes, it could be all the other trials we've been through were to prepare us for this monumental battle we are in now. I did 'why me' for one minute, then yup, 'why not'

@BrendaRaven1
For a minute, we all feel the "why me?"
That is why I made this video.
To reach out to people who cannot overcome the "why me?" phase of the disease.
Denial is the first stage, Anger is the 2nd. This is when you see a lot of why me thinking.on Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's 5 stages of grief.
I am currently doing my best to reconcile synchronicity and life planning to my Christian beliefs and so far it is not too big of a stretch.

Our love already has set US free and the world will follow suit.
You see we are all like electrons of an atom.
If one electron is perturbed the other (non-directly influenced) electrons reflect the same perturbation.
If you shine a light in the left eye the pupil constricts. IF you notice the right eye (which has not had light directly aimed at it) also constricts.
All people are connected, We MS'ers maybe a little more connected due to organic changes in the brain?

I do not know if I chose it, but the mission resonates with me very much. I have been infuriated with the MS protocol for many years and in my soul I felt the corruption way before CCSVI. I was amazed that my feelings were also felt by others when CCSVI emerged.

@irishbear76 Yes, the cat is out of the bag, but the information is not running fast for the convinience of all patients. The U.S.A. does not has a prevalence study. So MS Patients have a lot of field to be cover.
Yes, there should not be hidding because we are the victims to a Health Condition that we did not ask. The only thing that I have is hope for a cure and information is the best friend we can have. The sad thing is that the light as you call it comes and go and it is not constant

I realise your thoughts are derived from a christian perspective but I've always found the notion of karmic suffering from a Buddhist point of view very distasteful since it suggests our suffering is somehow deserved because of 'bad' actions in previous incarnations. I know this is not what you are alluding to though.
Anyway, take care Mark and I truly hope you can have the angioplasty as soon as possible.

Nah. Not in a Buddhist Karma type of way.
If you prefer Robert Frost. We chose the path less travelled by and that has made all the difference.
We do not have MS because we DESERVE it.
WE have MS because that is what we needed.
Of course we could never go back and think that way in life. Once we die, we will think like that again.
Our perspective as humans is very limited, no?
I am wary of this message. I realize people believe in spirit guides, mediums etc..

Death is no more brutal than birth.
You only have to do it once.
Imagine wanting to experience EVERYTHING in this earth.
You come out of your mother, you are in pain, you are freezing, you draw that first breath and you have the fading thought.
WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS. IT HURTS. I AM SCARED. I AM FREEZING.
And the world continues to beat that spiritual intelligence out of us.
We are not of this world. Make no mistake.

I really like when you said that we suffer to learn how to truelly love. I also think I am chosen for this, and even if if hurts sometimes, then I was probably chosen for suffering so that I can get to a higher level of conciousness. I have always known I am highly intelligent and very sensitive, and for that I suffer, and my body gets out of balance whenever I do a mistake. But I chose to do those mistakes, and as a result I suffer. And when I suffer, I learn. Thank you for reminding me of why.

I knew you would be on the level.
I have been stricken at times by things you have said.
Your overwhelming capacity to love is apparent.
We tend to be tortured. Connected but tortured.
IF that is the price to be an empath, I pay it happily.
Bless you, Viking QUEEN!!!

Dear Marc,
For more than 10 years I ask myself this 'why?' Most of the time my answer was: I did too much my best or I tried too much to be perfect. All that stress made me too Yang, and so are my jugular veins.
Your answer is perfect, I can't do anything and my life is exactly
the way I need it to be, Finally rest. The liberation will take place one day when it's time to have it done. Thursday I'll vist Private Scan in Dusseldorf . Thank you for playing and singing 'Halleluja'.
Love, Agnes

Hi Mark,
First off it is great to see you again, and you look fab!! I have never been a person who belives in organzied religon. A friend gave me the books Converstions with God. It basically says the same thing you did in your video.
We chose this life to expierence this and that the people in our life have chose to be a part of our experience etc. The whole deja vue things and how things come when it is most needed. Some do not like the books, I found them to be true for me.

I have not read the book, but now I have to.
My thinking has been leading me to the idea that we have a whole lot more of a choice than we suspect.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Maybe we knew that we were stubborn and really needed God to get our attention.
The irony is, when we think of free will. This free will would span the ENTIRE length of our existence, not just this blink of an eye we call life.
Thank you for your comments.

@irishbear76 If you do read them let me know what you think. I have to say I never had one of those why me moments, I always thought why not me? I have had my own pity parties when my MS acts up and that is just a way of venting I guess.
You never know what can happen and I always looked at it like I could get hit by a bus or cancer anything could have happened to me. So the fact that I am still here and coping to the best of my ability is a blessing in it's own.

Get liberated Mark. Please do it if u can. Money can always be replaced.
...BTW,
I did not choose MS. I hate it. But maybe it chose me ! I think about other people that are ill. Cancer for example. They must be having a difficult life. There might be cure for them as well ... and they are simply been denied.

This is why I suspect that I made the choice to have MS.
To make me the kind of person that cares more about others.
Just me thinking out loud. :)

Thanks. I guess it would be silly to mention I would never have a lil brother named Omario if I had been born with normal veins/neurological system.
Somehow, you (and all the rest of my YouTube family) fit in.

I never considered myself brave but my friends and family think that I am for trying to get treated. I'm just praying that my IR will get IRB approval to do angio. Once approved, all I have to do is lie on the table. It was scarier to get the venogram and believe that there was stenosis when those same friends and family thought that I was crazy for being tested.
PS I have severe stenosis in my veins

A reluctant inspiration?
You just described everyone I know with MS.
WE HAVE IT because we knew we COULD TAKE IT.
I seriously believe that this group of special people will make them look into CCSVI and could change the face of the disease forever.
WE are too persistent to let it go.
Take care

I sure wouldn't have chosen this, or cancer, or any other disease on purpose, haha! What I DO choose is how I handle it. It's amazing to me how, from my POV, all I'm doing is carrying on with life as usual. But other people tell me that I inspire them, and I'm always like "Why? I'm just doing what I do!" We all have a cross to bear. Some are more obvious than others. Some are more mysterious than others. They culminate what I call our personal "glory story." We just get more daily victory ;-)

Truth be told. It is very difficult to understand how we thought before we lived in this 3 dimensional hologram.
Our perspective changes quite significantly when we just add flesh.
The one thing I am sure of.....we KNEW WE COULD HACK IT or we wouldn't have chosen it.
I cannot explain it.
Thank you for your thoughts.

I have noticed my personal journey turning more spiritual along with my friends with ms. We pray for people we have met on fb. We rejoice in the small and large improvements with more hope for the future with tears in our eyes as we watch the before and after videos. We are in this together, an amazing community, making history , using the internet to educate ourselves and others.
God Bless You and keep making videos.

Summer squash and zucchini have helped ease my diet transition because they are so GOOD.

Thank you for your kind words!
I think Liberation is a lot like romance.
Once we stop (from resignation) seeking it out constantly.
It comes to us.
I am just going to be still and let my journey unfold.
I pray that the opportunity to get the procedure happens for you very soon.
Take care of yourself,

Good to hear from you as always

Susan. Thank you for saying I relate my thoughts well. YOu are too kind. This vid was a bit of a mess, but the subject matter is pretty deep for a Tuesday morning.
I guess we will continue to get help from our MS family and help our MS family in any way we can.
Blessings.

Good to see a video from you my friend, you've been missed. From a Christian perspective, one could also talk about God's plan for us. I've always felt unlucky, but I've found a new sense of greater purpose to reach out and help those who are suffering. Perhaps God chose us & this is his designated plan for us to reach out. I'm not particularly deeply religious, but it seems odd that I've been enabled to see and dialog with the doctors I have. For the first time, i've been very lucky.

@donotconcede
Yup. We are pretty lucky when you really think about it.
I guess free will started earlier than I previously thought.
I have been exploring the relationship I have with God and it has brought life, into a perspective that was lost for me.
Everytime I look at a baby I think "This child knows everything and sees things clearly and he/she will forget it once they are able to articulate it".
I think this is a common intuition from what I read.
Take care.

I will start looking for your video.. NOW.(maybe a video response?)
This is pretty much where my brain has been since I made my last video.
I have to continue discussing this.
I think there are many MS'ers out there (and loved ones of MS'ers) who will benefit from this message and hopefully it will bring a better understanding of what "it" is all about.
God bless.
