At 19, Famela was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor attached to her cerebellum and brainstem. After surgery to insert a shunt and 35 radiation sessions, the tumor grew again, pressing on vital nerves and leaving her nearly bedridden. In late 2012, she fell into a coma for 3 days but miraculously survived, prompting her father to search for alternatives. That search led them to ECCT.

Soon after beginning ECCT therapy, Famela experienced intense detox reactions—sweating, dark stools, and dizziness—but her condition steadily improved. Within months, she regained balance, could walk, and her senses of vision, hearing, and smell returned. A CT scan after 6 months showed the tumor had shrunk significantly.

A year later, she got married, gave birth safely in 2016, and has remained healthy ever since. Now, more than 15 years after her diagnosis, Famela continues to live well with her husband and 8-year-old son.
