Testimonial: Multiple Sclerosis

Kathleen Bingen, Wisconsin, Diagnosed with MS

My name is Kathleen Bingen. In 1990 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, two months before I was going to walk down the aisle and marry the man of my dreams. It was a devastating — and wonderful — time in my life.

My future husband accepted the responsibility without a second thought. We’ve now been married for 11 years and have two beautiful children.

However, his role of caretaker has increased in the last 4 years as my disease started to progress. Just last fall it became necessary for me to use a walker for assistance. Fatigue caused me to lower my 40-hour-a-week job as an administrative assistant to 12-15 hours. Each day the pain increased. I lived on pain killers, fatigue medicines and nerve pain drugs. I was trying everything I could to put the disease in check, but nothing was working. I was now considered in the stages of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

Somewhere along the way I created a personal website to help keep a positive spin on this not-so-positive disease. One day I found a new visitor to my site who posted a story about her experience at an Ayurveda health center called The Raj. At first, I shrugged off her "miracle recovery" from MS as some type of marketing ploy but, out of courtesy, I sent her a note telling her I was happy for her. The next day she responded with so much enthusiasm and excitement that I couldn’t help but feel she was telling a truthful story.

I started e-mailing The Raj, asking questions, and at some point I just knew that this was a place I needed to try for myself. Friends and family chipped in to help pay for a seven-day stay and, with my local neurologist’s blessings, my husband and I were on the road to Fairfield, Iowa.

Our arrival was mixed with emotions. Would this be worthwhile? Was I trying so desperately to find a cure that I would do anything? But I reminded myself of something my neurologist said. He said that everything he tries is experimental. He never knows if a certain drug or treatment will help me, but he has to try. Going to The Raj couldn’t hurt me more than the toxic prescriptions he’s had to give me over the years.

I felt progressively better after each daily treatment of herbal massage and other therapies designed to remove built-up toxins. It was truly amazing. My first relief of symptoms was an increase in energy which was noticeable after the second treatment. Each day the pain decreased and, by the end of the seventh day, all that was left was the weakness in my legs — which meant I still needed my walker.

I left The Raj no longer on painkillers, fatigue medications, or nerve pain drugs. The Raj told me to give my legs time, and they would be stronger too. Two days later my son crashed on his bicycle, and I just took off running! No one was more amazed then myself as I stopped short in realization! My legs were back!! No pain, no fatigue and no more walker!!

At The Raj, I learned to change my diet and behavioral patterns and was sent home with only three herbs to take as a supplement. I give myself massages each morning with herbalized oil to help remove additional toxins. It’s a wonderful feeling to wake up each day without the stiffness I have had for the past years. And this isn’t even half of what I learned. The Raj is an experience that everyone should try, even if you don’t have a chronic disease. I guarantee no one will leave without gaining something. As a matter of fact, anyone who wants to e-mail me directly with questions, should feel free to do so. I will be happy to tell you more about my experience! rickalex2@verizon.net

The following is an e-mail we received from Kathy Bingen six weeks after her visit to The Raj:

Thought I’d share with all of you what happened at my doctor’s appointment today!! He was very impressed. At first it looked as if he didn’t believe me until he did the neurological tests and had me “walk” down the hallway. I was actually lifting my feet as I strolled down the hallway, spun and strolled on back!

He noticed my balance isn’t exactly perfect when he had me walk with eyes closed heel to toe, heel to toe. I guess I did wobble a little but heck, last time I was there in May. Well, let’s just say, I couldn’t do it without him holding my shoulder.

He’s following The Raj’s instructions on me still working limited hours until August 1 and had me make another appointment to see him July 30th. If I’m still good by then, I can go back to 40 hours. He wrote a work release that increases my hours from the 12-15 a week to 20 hours a week for now though. Maybe this will get the disability company to realize I can get better... smile

Well, that’s my news!
Kathy

I noticed significant improvement in balance and feeling in my right side which had been previously numb. During this week, I felt no fatigue and I now have better mobility. I can lift my right leg and am now able to grasp and carry a bag with my right hand, which was not possible when I arrived here. I was very happy with everything and everyone during my stay at The Raj.
