Summary

Darren Fields is the regional vice-president of the software giant, Citrix, as well as a savvy investor but in 2012 his world came crashing down when he received some life-changing news. Like his Mother before, Darren was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease with a commonly bleak outlook for its sufferers.

Darren shares how he went against conventional medical wisdom to explore an alternative treatment despite being strongly advised against it by his medical team. His relentless pursuit for answers has helped Darren to overcome the disease completely and become completely symptom-free.

In this incredible episode, Darren shares a story of resilience, hope and ultimately triumph which is why he is now on a mission to make more people know about this life-saving treatment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Everyone's MS can affect in different ways. For some it is far more debilitating issue that is exacerbated by other afflictions.
Self-investigation can sometimes lead to new forms of treatment. Darren personally discovered the benefits of stem-cell transplants through inquiry.
Practitioners in MS treatment seem to be unfortunately led by pharmaceutical companies. These companies supply drugs and insist on their use, despite their sometimes lack of efficacy.
Never be afraid to ask your own questions, or do your own research. No one will be as proactive about your cure as yourself. The world is filled with knowledge and solutions. To beat the odds, sometimes we must find them for ourselves.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you've got a kitchen and it's on fire, you don't try to redecorate that kitchen when you haven't put the fire out'

'I investigated and found that the results are good'

'I had to find out by research and asking questions, because no one would tell me'

'People are getting impacted because of lack of funding and lack of resource'

0:00.0	Hello everyone, and welcome to a very special episode of The Onumission Podcast,
0:04.4	where I am joined by a very good friend of mine. I am joined by Darren Fields. Now,
0:10.6	Darren is a real high flyer. He is a regional vice president of a global software business,
0:16.4	because he's also a very savvy investor. He's without doubt one of the most intelligent and
0:21.6	hardworking people know. It's an honour to call him a friend, but we're not actually here to talk
0:27.6	about any of that today. We are here because in 2012, Darren was actually diagnosed with
0:35.2	multiple sclerosis, which as many of you listeners will already know as a degenerative disease,
0:41.7	which doesn't have a very great prognosis. However, Darren has beat the odds, and here we are,
0:48.9	in 2022, he is completely symptom free. He has cured the disease, and his story is nothing
0:56.4	short, inspirational. So welcome to the show, Darren. Thank you for having me. If you go to
1:03.0	talking about it, and hopefully we can help other people have a similar journey.
1:09.9	We were just saying, weren't we? It's quite funny, because you're not saying quite often,
1:13.3	and we just chatted for ages here before we hit record, but there's something about when
1:18.7	you do this kind of, you formalise it a little bit within the podcast context, and it simply gets
1:25.8	a little bit more nerve-wracking, doesn't it? You're okay, Sean. Yeah, well, a lot will
1:31.4	work very well for the listeners, but I think this is a really powerful story for the listeners,
1:37.5	and they're going to get a hell of a lot of value from it. We'll be talking about doing this for a
1:42.0	while, so it genuinely is another to have you with us today. So let's start from the beginning,
1:48.4	Darren, because your journey within MS, there we go again, Enix, your journey with MS tragically
1:57.6	started long before you actually got your diagnosis. You want to just tell the listeners a little bit
2:03.5	about the backstory? Sure, so I was about 14 at the time, and my mother got a bang on her head,
2:15.2	and that seemed to trigger a chain of events that led her into hospital, and after a long period of
