Two years prior I had a series of basal cell carcinoma (BCC – skin cancer) on my body. Then, I found a lump in my neck that was biopsied showing it was melanoma in my neck lymph nodes. Only 15% of melanomas have an unknown primary site; I was one of those. That was 3 ½ years ago.
The oncologist recommended neck dissension surgery to remove tumor followed with a one year course of immunotherapy (Opdivo). Two out of the seven nodes had cancer. I did do the neck surgery, as well as a year of immunotherapy alongside Gerson & RGCC supplementations given by Dr. Donato protocols. I was just considering Gerson after surgery, but after getting RGCC results back, decided to move forward with immunotherapy. I used both conventional & alternative therapies.
My cancer coach, Bailey O’Brien, is featured in Radical Remission & Chris Beats Cancer interviews for beating stage 4 melanoma at the age of 21 with Gerson & alternative therapies after conventional medicine failed her. She offered a suggestion to look at using RGCC to guide the process. Two Christian friends suggested Gerson and Dr. Donato was a Gerson trainer that I could meet with online. Dr. Donato offered both Gerson guidance & RGCC consultation. I started with Dr. Donato after the neck surgery and was discerning what I wanted to do to heal (immunotherapy, St Andrews Clinic in Mexico, or Gerson at home, or a combo). I followed his guidance of using modified Gerson, RGCC, and conventional immunotherapy for the 1st year.
RGCC number-wise, I started with an RGCC CTC count of 3.8 and currently am at 1.9. It’s been 3 ½ years that I have had Dr. Donato for consultations and captain of my healing protocol. After reading many others who have done immunotherapy and have had to stop because of negative side effects & long-term side effects, I believe I haven’t had any, including no negative long term side effects, because Dr. Donato diligently advised on supplementation & detoxing to assist while I was doing immunotherapy. I have had clean scans since after the neck surgery in 11/21 but have been tracking my RGCC counts to get where I desire to be in healing.
Dr. Donato is brilliant. He knows Gerson, he knows RGCC and he is a gentle, kind encourager. I have trusted his consultations. He cares, carries integrity, is prompt, and is matter of fact. I have been so grateful to God for his shared Christian faith that comes out in his values & how he interacts with me as a client. RGCC has been my measurement tool to help see where I am at in the healing journey and a tool in Dr. Donato tailoring a personalized care approach.
I highly recommend Dr. Donato as a trusted professional in developing a personalized integrative protocol on the healing cancer journey. I also add that I found it important to approach healing holistically (mind, body & soul). So I found other modalities of specialized services to help in those areas (prayer, resting in the grace of God, church community, counseling, trauma therapy, support groups).
