Diagnosed with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia — a blood cancer that causes an excess of IGM to wreak havoc on the body — Bonnie knew from the very first minute that conventional medicine wasn’t the path for her. About four or five years into her diagnosis, a difficult stretch made her realize it was time to act. Trusting her gut, she found Immunity Therapy Center, met with Dr. Rosso over Zoom, and was on-site in Tijuana within less than a week.
Bonnie describes everyone at ITC — from the nursing staff to the kitchen team — as approachable, kind, and attentive, remembering her by name at every turn. She credits Luis for guiding her through the emotional side of her diagnosis with genuine understanding and a guided meditation that gave her real tools to work through it. Just two weeks into her stay, Bonnie underwent a plasmapheresis procedure — one she says no doctor in the U.S. would have ever recommended — which brought her IGM count down from 2,300 to 997 in a single treatment, alongside an immediate improvement in her kidney function. Already feeling more energy before the procedure, she says the results only confirmed what she already believed. “Just do it,” she shares. “Try not to second-guess it, because it’s really important for your health and longevity.”
