Chronic Pain

My journey started with Invictus 6 months ago.

On my first meeting with Ben, I was unable to walk. I was in chronic pain with both Achilles tendons and hip tendons frayed and bursitis. Pretty much a cripple at the age of 54.

After my first meeting, I felt like this was my last chance to get out of pain. In all honesty, I was ready to leave this world because I couldn’t walk and no one could help me.

I started eating just fruits and stuck to a 90/10 rule for myself under Ben’s guidance. Then, for 6 weeks I took every pill and potion in the Invictus program as per my protocol. I measured my heart rate, tested my urine using the baseline method the Invictus team taught me, and took my blood pressures. My results were constantly all over the place and very confusing to me, lucky Ben could explain it all (which kept me feeling very safe and eager to continue)!

Eventually, at around week 5, everything settled down, and I started to feel better. I’d lost weight, my pain was under control, I had brain function again, and weirdly enough, my eye sight all seemed better!

I was going to go ahead with the pre planned surgery on my left achilles and hip, of which required another MRI just prior to undergoing the operation (and I’m so grateful they did) as I received the most amazing news! The MRI’s taken before the program, and the new ones taken after the program showed that the frayed tendons in my left hip were healed!! Clear as day on the MRI and confirmed with a consult from a top hip surgeon!! The comparison undeniable and the improvement could be seen!

They tell me the bursa still needs to be operated on, but I can walk properly, I can ride my horse correctly, I can work a 12 hour day and still be sane with no pain at the end of it! so I’ll continue to delay this ‘required surgery’ and just see what my body does with this bursa over a little more time 😊.

I am forever grateful to Ben and his team. My life is changed forever. I have stuck to eating fruit for 80 percent of my day. My skin is softer than ever and I am able to handle what life throws at me.
