Summary
- Mr. C was hospitalized with a severe stomach ulcer and infection.
- He described being at 'death's door' but is now recovering at home.
- He aims to make red light therapy accessible to working-class people.
Richard West, famously known as Mr. C, a prominent figure from the 90s band The Shamen, recently faced a serious health crisis. He was admitted to the hospital for treatment of a significant stomach ulcer caused by the H. Pylori bacterium, alongside a severe infection and considerable stress. Mr. C candidly shared on Facebook, May 6, that he was "very weak" and had been "literally on death's door" during his hospital stay.
He expressed that he is now feeling much improved and is recovering at home after receiving medication. However, he anticipates a full month to regain his strength and a six-week period before he can resume his gym activities. Despite his recovery, Mr. C remains focused on his new business venture, Bed Light & Beyond, in North London. This business specializes in red and infrared light therapy, aiming to provide affordable treatments to the community he grew up in.
Fans shared their own experiences with H. Pylori, offering support and advice regarding the condition's potential severity. Mr. C had previously experienced intense stomach cramps and pain for two weeks before seeking medical attention. A call to NHS 111 and subsequent consultation with an NHS doctor led to his immediate hospitalization, where he received care for his critical condition.
