Superman Sam's Childhood Cancer Story │36 Rabbis

"Mommy, my arms hurt..."
This was the beginning of the journey that forever changed Sammy's life. "'It's leukemia,' they said. And it was like the whole world caved in."
Sammy was diagnosed in June of 2012 with acute myeloid leukemia. He fought valiantly, and loved going to the zoo and playing video games. He underwent chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and spent countless days and nights in the hospital.
"We planned some trips and spent as much time as we could with him, giving him what he wanted in life. And, December 14. He was 8."
Sammy passed away on December 14, 2013. His family is fighting in his honor to help all kids diagnosed with cancer by raising money for much needed cures with the St. Baldrick's Foundation: bit.ly/1oKfnsb

    These parents showed incredible kindness and selflessness in their decision to allow him to pass. They knew it was inevitable so they did what was best for him.

    I know his story. In fact I read the online blog about his journey all the time. I remember it was last updated this November and Sam would have been 11 year old this year. I know that there was a user on a youtube that was friends with him. He had such an awesome voice in the videos.

    2lbs of stevia X 4 months= curing my uncle's 6 in transition phase to cancer breast tumors. He had just lost his prostate to cancer, and thought that new diagnosis was the end for him. I introduced him to stevia, he put 8 teaspoons of stevia into every gallon of water he drank daily= him immediately starting to have the most toxically foul smelling bowel movements and he had to use baby wipes or a sponge, because the toxins leaving his body metaphorically lit his butt on fire= the sign that stevia's cleansing effect is taking place. The FDA initially outlawed stevia, it was sued back legal, stevia is very high alkaline, and high alkaline= very difficult for cancer to grow and thrive, and I'm praying another with cancer copies my uncle so the word can spread there's a sweet cure.
