Russell’s Inspiring Story

Getting diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour was not part of my plan – even though I was in my sixties, like anyone else I didn’t have time for this. I’m too busy.

Speaking with Ross in 2006, hearing of his journey and experiences in this area was both inspiring and educational.  What he did to beat the odds and his maintenance regime speaks for itself.

He is very “pro” the health profession, and he is very “pro” holistic medicine.  He understands both and as he will mention to all “you need to know when to transition between holistic and modern medicine.

My journey was controversial – I refused chemotherapy and radiation – on my second scan after losing my left eye, the tumour had broken into many pieces and I was told to go and “sort out my affairs”, so to speak.  I was too busy for that.   3 months earlier I had made the recommended changes Ross spoke of and drank the same herbal tea he did, after his diagnosis 20 years earlier.

3rd scan – tumour gone and accused of seeking overseas treatment – August 2011.  I felt an unusual lump in my soft pallet while eating chops with my mate Brian Carlaw and Pauly my builder.  I sucked on the lump and it burst through.  What I spat onto the plate was a solid ball of goo, covered with veins.  The last of my brain tumour and a month of horrible breath followed, as it healed.

Spontaneous remission is possible, I proved it.  Ross has the amazing ability to inspire you to survive to give you the right direction through his own journey.

We talked for hours about the need for an education centre for recently diagnosed people and now this idea has come to reality.

Anyone who reads this and has the same journey also has the ability to not only survive but live to inspire others, as Ross says “anyone can do this with the right mentoring and information”.
