Experience
Way before the fashion for CELEBRITY REHAB I gave up alcohol, recreational drugs and nicotine on the same day – October 26 1982 ( well, they gave ME up actually ) and I have remained clean, sober & nicotine free ever since.
VIRUS LIVING - I was on the orginal human Interferon drug trial in 1982 for incurable Hepatitis B Virus, all died on the trial except me.
Since 1983 I have counseled all genders & sexualities in recovery programmes and health charities affected by HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and from 1988 Hep C.
From 1994 to 1996, before the arrival of combination therapies, I focused exclusively on people living and dying from AIDS, the majority with CD4 counts under 10 preparing them for life completion and hospice comforts before passing. My own experience of virus living was the spur. Using Rebirthing Breathwork I changed a Chronic Active Hep B status I acquired in 1970 to dormant Chronic Hep B in 1995. Surviving liver failure many times I finally sero-converted in 1995 without medication, using Rebirthing Breathwork, creating healthy anti-bodies with past life rebirthing to halt the virus & have remained stable ever since.
Although 12 Step Material appears on this BLOG SITE, it is not used with any client on Lifestyle Coaching, Relationship Repair, Rebirthing Breathwork or any rehabilitation in my 3 hour Sessions, unless people specify this approach. I assist people in cutting down alcohol & chem use with a process called PURPOSEFUL USING, for people who do too much. Not everyone is an addict, but most harbour codependent behaviour.
