Over the past few weeks we have been busy with all kinds of things around and with Robbie and the MSMotion . For example, we have agreed with Robbie to train with him for a day or to actually participate in a day in his life, but we have also planned beautiful events such as the MSMotion.
Robbie really wanted to show us his place, Groningen, but especially Sarel's training that Robbie receives weekly from the World Kickboxing Champion. Robbie and Sarel motivate each other so much, we wanted to experience that up close.
Robbie shows during the training that he is a real go-getter, someone who really does not know how to stop and who certainly does not want to give up. He likes kickboxing because it also keeps him very sharp the days after, he can push his limits with kickboxing so that he can fight it every day. He motivates us all with his perseverance and that helps him enormously. He motivates himself by constantly pushing his limits and not listening to others, Robbie is a real Warrior!
Robbie does everything he can to not be sick, he doesn't want to feel that way at all. He strengthens this through a healthy lifestyle, the Hash Oil of his hero Edje, a lot of sports, healthy food and sharing a lot with regular supervisors such as Barbara, from whom he has a lot of support. Barbara also brings Robbie to the training every week and participates fanatically in the training herself and, like so many others, is amazed at what Robbie shows, every week.
The MSMotion is a perfect event to participate in, a full day of fundraising for The National MS Fund and MS Research! Robbie really wanted to participate in this and together with the Groen Hart Foundation we tried to draw attention to Robbie and #TeamRobbieTegenMS as much as possible to draw attention to MS and the research into this.

]]>Robbie has helped you so much and we love it so much and are super excited to be part of this and do this with great pleasure! Robbie has received a Herboven from the Groen Hart Foundation and we are incredibly proud that we can do this kind of "small" gestures, of course we don't do this alone, but together with you, our members. Robbie motivates so many of us and we at the Club can thank him a little with this gesture. Thank you for who you are Robbie, Warrior!
We would also like to thank you very much, because without you, our members, we can never put these beautiful gestures to work. Thank you!
Credit where credit is due, Robbie has managed to type most of the blog himself despite his MS, where he has a lot of trouble typing. He says he is so very proud of this and it turns out: Robbie is also a natural talent in this! We have tried to support him as much as possible and have put together this blog together.
This blog was born from an idea from Robbie himself, he thinks it's time he shared his experiences about: “medicinal cannabis oil” and we think so too. Robbie tells here himself how he came into contact with the drug that changed everything for him.
Robbie's Medicine:
“Four years ago I first came to Edje's home in Duindorp in The Hague. This was immediately an impressive experience and ultimately life-changing too. At that moment I could barely walk because of the pain and with great difficulty I climbed the stairs. Once in Edje's living room and after recovering for a while, I was offered my first drop of pure hash oil, also known as cannabis oil. In retrospect this turned out to be a golden moment! I had been introduced to the best medicine for my MS complaints.
Earlier in my life I had already tried cannabis oil from different producers, but it did not have nearly as good effect as Edje's oil. You notice that this is something different, and that's what I need! Eddie is really there for me!
After my meeting with Edje, I walked down the stairs miraculously without pain. As bad as I could move before using the oil, so smooth I could move afterward, it was a whole new feeling. I didn't even realize I was just walking normally again…. The oil helps reduce many of my MS symptoms, it helps me sleep better, eat better, feel less nauseous and feel less pain, making me a happier person. Also nice for my environment..... ;)
Every morning I take a little hash oil on my tongue to start the day. My nausea immediately goes away, so my appetite comes back and I can eat something. I also have a lot less pain immediately. Thanks to the oil I am able to undergo a very intensive personal kickboxing training. I think this is special, because I think a normal healthy person would like to sleep from this oil, but it gives me energy. When my oil runs out, personal training and life becomes a lot harder and everything just goes a lot more difficult. The pain is very strong and it is very heavy for me.
The product is unfortunately blacklisted, because the THC content is too high because it is a concentrate. But this is precisely what gives the oil a strong effect and in my case the indispensable effect to be able to enjoy life to some extent and participate in society.
This pure hash oil without additives is extremely expensive, because it takes quite a bit of product to extract the oil. Luckily I get it from Edje. He is my hero! Do you want to get to know him? Check Edjes Vlog, I like that again."
“I wish that everyone could make their own oil through responsible and safe home-grown medicinal cannabis. More people like me would benefit from it and regain quality of life despite the bleak prospects of being chronically ill.”
Robbie benefits a lot from the oil and that's what counts. We see a lot of good news and we see that the world is changing towards cannabis and especially medicinal cannabis. Patients with stories like Robbie's are increasingly emerging. Various scientific studies are also being carried out into the effect of "cannabis" and we increasingly hear people with respect give a different opinion about the medicinal effect, especially in pain relief compared to current medications.
We love to follow these sources of inspiration. We share the vision they have, stories like Robbie's and scientific research will emerge more and more, and we can't wait for the future. Together we stand for a better future, a Greener Future….
Next time: Robbie has just had his Herboven and is really excited to test different recipes and see if this oil works for him. Together with the Club we will post some recipes, results and information, but we will also interview Edje about how he makes his Hash/THC Oil.

]]>Robbie & Sarèl, a golden combination!
Robbie is very happy with all the reactions he has received, he wants to thank you so much for all the beautiful words, words of inspiration and all the love he has received.
In our first interview, Robbie talks with a big smile on his face about his passion for kickboxing, you don't hear this sport very often in combination with the disease MS. Robbie told us that because of his 2 tools he can practice this sport and therefore his passion. By the Thc/Hash oil & his trainer World champion and “Dutch fighter of the year 2020”: Sarèl de Jong. We definitely wanted to know more about this because Sarèl and kickboxing inspire Robbie to persevere and Robbie inspires us.
Words from Robbie and Sarel:
How did kickboxing come about?
Robbie says that he started training with Sarèl 2 years ago, because unfortunately his physio about corona had to stop. He knew that he had to keep working out because this is very good for him and it also gives him a lot of energy. After hearing the news from the physio, he didn't give up, but as he says himself: "Take action, you have to do something, sitting on the couch makes no sense and you won't get anything done that way. .” Through a dear friend who had already trained with Sarèl, Robbie came across Sarèl's Instagram and took the step to personally send her a message. The two soon started talking and they had already planned the first training session to go bang together!
The first workout:
Both find it very exciting to work together, Robbie is nervous if he can handle it, training with a world champion, Sarèl wonders how to train someone with MS, what intensity can he handle. But after reading and talking to each other enough, the time has come.
The first training was over and the two felt good: “The initial nerves quickly disappeared and the training naturally continues on its own”. Robbie is a real go-getter and this already came out in the first interview, this makes it a lot easier for Sarèl to train him, motivation comes naturally. Sarèl soon proposes to Robbie to start boxing because this can help him a lot with his motor skills, this step has finally ensured that Robbie is now so far that he can kickbox and does this with great pleasure and will continue to do so!
Robbie and Sarèl are a real match made in heaven, they are both very go-getters and that inspires each other to bring out the best in each other, every training session. But they are also active in each other's lives outside the gym, they have become close friends and have a lot of support from each other. What a Power team, you like to look up to this, how 2 different personalities have so much in common.
Who is motivating whom?
Sarel:
“What a question, Robbie is a real go-getter and shows what a person cannot do with a little perseverance. Goddamn what a power he shows. I have a lot of respect for Robbie and how he lives life. I recently had a bad time myself where I tore my cruciate ligaments, but is it all so terrible, should we give up already?
When I told Robbie about my injury, he found this so very annoying and he was really touched by this, I thought to myself: oh shit! That he says that has motivated me enormously to come back even stronger. Robbie shows me what is possible and is a real example for me and everyone. His attitude is beyond gold!
Robbie:
“Sarèl is a real sweet, nice, cool, awesome girl with super training. She also makes it really hard for me and the workouts are pretty tough. This motivates me to keep getting better and stronger. I'm starting to get a bit more trouble in my legs and together with Sarèl we'll see what I can do. We train together every Friday and I always look forward to this. Kickboxing has given me a different life, I am now training with a world champion and I can take my mind elsewhere for a while. Training with Sarèl doesn't become a routine either because she keeps coming up with new training sessions and I really have mad respect for her! We've known each other for 2 years now and Sarèl always motivates me to get the best out of myself.
Words from Robbie:
“I never expected all this to happen when I messaged Sarèl on Instagram. All you sometimes need is to dare to take that one step and say to yourself, is what is holding you back really as difficult as you think?!
With these words we close this blog, but Robbie is certainly not done with you and Sarèl will come back stronger than ever before!
]]>Robbie and the fight of his life
What is MS?
MS is a disease of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The exact cause of MS is unknown. There are probably several factors that together determine whether someone gets MS. For example, there are indications that heredity and viral infections play a role, but no one knows exactly what it is.
Words from Robbie:
“I am 36 years old and was 23 years old when I was diagnosed with MS. I have been fighting for my life for 13 years. In the beginning after my diagnosis I had few complaints except reduced vision. A few years later, I started experiencing more symptoms such as tired legs, back pain, fatigue and nerve pain. I then started to use cannabis more, because I soon found out that because of the THC I had less pain, more energy and was less nauseous, which also made me eat a lot better. About 5 years ago I was introduced to hash oil/THC and that turned out to be a true miracle cure!”
Robbie was 23 when he was diagnosed with MS, when his symptoms got worse and he started to experience more problems he started experimenting with THC/Cannabis. He soon found out that he experienced a lot less pain, had a lot more energy and was a lot less nauseous, so he also had a much better appetite. A few years ago he became acquainted with “hash oil” and since then he swears by the positive effect of THC and calls it a “miracle cure” himself!
Robbie and current medications:
Robbie gets an intravenous drip (ocrevus) every six months, this ensures that the process does not accelerate, but unfortunately it will not stop it. The medicine that is given is not enough for Robbie to get the quality of life that he has with hash oil.
Kickboxing with MS?
Kickboxing is Robbie's passion, he uses THC and hash oil for training to demolish the training! Where others could not get off the couch, this is what he needs to get out of his chair! Robbie is trained by multiple world kickboxing champion and '2020 Dutch Fighter of the Year' Sar èl de Jong and says the intensity of the training gives him the strength and perseverance to continue his battle with MS.
Robbie wants to stress something to you:
'You can have a hard time, be in pain, find it annoying, give up, but I can tell you that you are not pathetic, you are a warrior too! No matter how bad the situation is, you have to do something. That something is heavy means it is a challenge and what I want to impress upon you is that no challenge is impossible, strength is greater than pain!'
Robbie- “Perseverance is in my character. But life with MS is by no means easy. My future prospects are of course not rosy, but I will continue to fight and not give up!”
