But for Chris, this illness isn't a fate he has to passively accept.

He's cut out all refined carbohydrates from his diet.

And he's taken up Sudoku and a new language.

And I'm learning Norwegian now.

It's not about curing CBD.

Chris knows nothing can help him do that.

It's about improving and giving himself the best quality of life possible.

Was he tempted to walk off his CBD?

It's cruel.

Hope.

Hope.

That's what lots of people bought into with the salt path, and it's something largely missing from the world today.

If you're reading for pleasure or watching a film, it's understandable to want to walk away with a bit of positivity.

But if you're sick and you have limited time left, false hope doesn't give, it only takes.

John's told me he's been through a whole spectrum of emotions.

Reading the salt path, it had seemed simple.

He just had to push through the pain and exhaustion and try harder.

John might not be scared of dying, but he and Bridget obviously wish they had more time left.

At least now he knows the truth, he also knows how precious time's become for him.

So could Rainer Wynne and Moth have just dreamt this whole thing up?
