2012, I had metastatic melanoma in the brain, both lungs, liver, kidney, gall bladder, left adrenal gland and spinal cord. I had two craniotomies, three Gamma Knife radiations and was seated in the very first clinical trial of two immunotherapy treatments. The Yervoy and Opdivo treatments had me cancer free in eight months. Side effects? On yes I did. Will there be a cure for all cancers in the future? Absolutely.

Problem is finding a good doctor who has compassion and there to guide you and help you get better but many just look at you like like a customer and what they can get out of you. They literally think they are gods and make everything about them and their egos. you dying of cancer means squat to them.

What if the immune system is the one telling cancer to perform 'tissue repair' of destroyed tissue, and also the one to tell cancer to atoptose when the tissue environment has stopped to be toxic to normal tissue (spontaneous remission)? Cancer cells are clearly our cells and they don't do what they do because of mutations (inherited mutations might change the immune system though).

Both the Budwig protocol and the Gerson protocol against cancer are two very low iron diets. Their founders weren't aware of that, but isn't it interesting? Basically protein in Budwig is from cottage cheese, which is a form of dairy most people can tolerate. Dairy and fruits are the two lowest iron containing foods on the planet.
