Hello I am Todd Buttram from Fredericksburg, VA. .. 53 year old male with fair skin.
My dad has watched me cure myself of Stage IV melanoma. He is dying of a different stage IV cancer but has refused to do Gerson for over two years now. He has being doing chemo for the last 6 months and of course it’s not working. It simply blows my mind. Recently I was in a bible study with over a dozen people. When it came time for prayer requests at the end of the study, 5 people wanted to pray for someone they knew dying of cancer. When it came around to me I lovingly and carefully explained for a brief 10 minutes how God and Gerson saved my life. Guess how many people came up to me after the group was over to ask for more info?? Just one asked for my email and I’ve never heard from them. I believe people are so brainwashed they can’t compute anything that goes against the grain and requires a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
.
My Journey began In 2004 when I was diagnosed with stage II melanoma in my right thigh. It was a bump under my skin about the size of a small pea. There was no typical dark mole on the surface. I let it go for 3-4 months before having it biopsied because it didn’t look dark or discolored. The cancer had already spread to the lymph nodes in my right groin. I had immediate dissections of the tumor and lymph nodes. I was admitted to a clinical trial in Virginia for a melanoma vaccine that was supposed to help the immune system recognize and kill melanoma.
.
The vaccine was one injection a month for 12 months, however four years later the cancer returned to the outer skins layers, and over the next 6 years I had over a dozen surgeries on my leg to remove reoccurring melanoma bumps on my skin. Most were minor except for a golf ball sized cluster removed in 2010. There was not a single suggestion from the clinic on lifestyle, diet or spiritual issues except for a few discussion groups with other cancer survivors.
.
Two years pass with no sign of cancer. In February 2014 I was diagnosed with metastatic stage IV melanoma inside the bone of my right humerus, I also had a walnut sized tumor in my right axillary lymph node. The outer cortex of my arm was 90% gone.
.
The melanoma clinic I had been going to since 2004 had no options for me except to get on a waiting list of a clinical trial not yet approved by the FDA, or chemotherapy that was 30+ years old that didn’t work (about a 1% response rate). After much research I decided to put my trust in God and vegetables, not chemotherapy that would destroy my immune system, the very thing my body needs to beat disease. The main oncologist at the melanoma clinic told me that 50% of all patients with my diagnosis are dead in less than a year and his overall cure rate for melanoma is one percent.
.
The Gerson Therapy was a no-brainer decision. I traveled to the Gerson Clinic in April of 2014 for a two-week stay. I have been under the care of Dr. Cervantes ever since including monthly phone consultations to review my blood work and also adjusting my treatment protocol. After returning home I had to have a Cobalt rod inserted in my humerus because it was going to break. 100’s of hours of cancer therapy research later, I decided to add several adjunctive therapies to my treatment. All were with glowing approval from Dr. Cervantes. I began IV Vitamin C drips of 100grams twice a week adding magnesium and glutathione to each drip and chelation (Cost was right a $200 per 100g drip) after all scans.
.
I began doing medical grade ozone treatments (rectal insufflations) after every coffee enema, and applying infrared heat treatments to my arm every night for 60 minutes. I bought my ozone machine from Longevity Resources. I love it!! Also, I believe we are triune beings (body, mind and spirit) and you MUST heal all three in order to beat cancer. Part of my treatment included praying to God and listening to healing scriptures daily.
.
Question: infrared heat treatments – what does this do to the body? Cancer cells cannot survive temps over 104 F. I had a bone tumor in my arm so I blasted it every night with high heat. Just enough not to burn my skin. Many sweaty nights in the chair paid off. Part I https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=8j9f1ySteQY
.
After nine months on this therapy I went back to the same melanoma clinic to have PET scans done. The bone tumor was gone and the tumor in my right axilla was the same size, it had not grown or spread. The main doctor was in such disbelief he ordered MRI scans to confirm the PET scans. He thought the PET scans were faulty. In over 25 years of running a melanoma clinic, he had never seen a bone tumor disappear or a lymph node stabilize and not grow or spread in 9 months time. Let me reemphasize, they had NEVER seen it happen before.
.
When I called to make the appointment, they fully expected me to be riddled with tumors since I had only been doing “that juicing thing” for nine months. Since the bone tumor was gone, a decision was made in April 2015 with my surgical oncologist and Dr. Cervantes, to cut out the one lymph node and scrape the bone where the tumor had been. All of my CT scans have been clean since that surgery. As far as the surgery, when the bone tumor disappeared my oncologist concluded the lymph node was encapsulated and was safe to remove. Axillary surgery is his speciality. Once again Dr. C agreed to removing the tumor because of proximity and aggressiveness of melanoma. Upon removal the tumor was completely encapsulated and surrounded by necrosis, proof positive that Gerson was doing its job.
.
However, in October 2015 a brain lesion was found in an MRI. With Gerson approval I had a new procedure called Gamma Knife, a high dose, pinpoint radiation that has a 90-95% success rate with the type of lesion I had. I also added a new immunotherapy treatment called Keytruda in November 2015 because of the seriousness of the brain lesion. In April 2016, my MRI and CT scans showed no cancer anywhere in my body. This is true, I did use radiation and immunotherapy. However, everything I did was approved by Dr. Cervantes in Tijuana. The reason I used radiation on my arm was the bone was paper thin and my arm was going to break. Radiation stunted the tumor growth and can stimulate bone growth.
.
I just received the video from my Gerson interview in May 2017. I will also repost my testimonial from the same conference, which many of you have already seen. I believe these are two very powerful videos and hope they help someone out there.
