Outwitting Multiple Sclerosis: How Forgiveness Helped Me Heal My Brain by Changing My Mind
In 1989, Bill Worth was living in paradise, on Maui. What he did not know was that he was in danger of dying in paradise, for he had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a debilitating, incurable disease.
When the neurologist told him he had MS, he looked the doctor in the eye and “Doc, you say I have MS, and you may be right. But what I say is that MS does not have me!”
With that, the writer/editor embarked on a 28-year journey of treating the intractable disease with the power of his mind, exercise, a better diet, and the use of an “off-label,” alternative drug. He declined to take any drugs neurologists recommended for MS, determined to meet the disease on his own terms. The journey included writing and publishing two spiritual novels and becoming ordained a Unity minister. In his 13-year career as a minister, he discovered the power of forgiveness, which assisted him in his unique treatment of MS. This book explores that discovery, which required him to seek self-forgiveness because of many years of failed relationships.
Bill Worth has spent all his adult life writing. His first career was in journalism, where he was a writer and editor with the Dayton (Ohio) Journal Herald. He left Dayton in 1983 to move to Maui, Hawaii, where he and his wife, Nancy, bought a failing newspaper, which they converted to a weekly, The Lahaina News. They left Maui six years later so Nancy could attend the seminary at Unity School for Religious Studies outside Kansas City, Missouri.
Bill Worth holds two degrees from Ohio State a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in journalism and education. His novels are The Hidden Life of Jesus A Memoir, and House of the A Metaphysical Novel of Maui.
