Entering Congress 60 with 86 Kilograms and a Three-Year Battle with Skin Cancer
Hello friends, I’m Shahram, a traveler of Jones’s Legion. Our food is our medicine, and our medicine is our food. After 20 years of substance use, I entered an NGO [to quit drugs]. Then, after over 20 years and a few months [of addiction] and weighing 86 kilograms while battling skin cancer for three years, and using destructive medications and drug injections; [finally] I entered Congress 60
Because the doctors and specialists were solely focused on removing my skin lesions, I grew tired of repeated surgeries, lengthy recoveries, and the anxious waiting of my companions outside operating rooms. Due to my high body weight, I was frequently questioned by surgeons. Since I was overweight, I had significant difficulties with lung issues during anesthesia recovery, and I had become deeply disheartened.
Then, I received the message of Congress 60 through a close relative, Arash Mehrayin, who is now an Azad-Mard , a Pahlevan , and an agent of Congress 60. Encouraged by him, I joined Congress 60 at the Dena branch in Shahreza in September 2022 to begin treating my addiction. I left my previous rehab NGO and embarked on my journey in Congress 60, fully believing in my ability to heal.
Six months into my journey, I noticed the worsening of my skin condition. Alongside my guide, we consulted Mr. Dezhakam, the founder of Congress 60, in Tehran. After recognizing my illness, he recommended increasing my medication dosage. I also underwent surgery, during which a significant portion of my ear was removed.
For the second time in 12 months, I underwent surgery to remove the same part of the skin lesion, but my condition worsened again. I approached Mr. Dezhakam and informed him that my doctor insisted on removing the entire ear. The physician’s referral for surgery, which is attached to the physician’s letter, was presented to him. Mr. Dezhakam instructed me that I should focus on weight loss, as he strongly believed my high weight was likely a significant contributing factor to my condition, and that surgery was not immediately necessary.
I initially concealed my weight, but upon checking, I realized I was 20 kilograms overweight. On that same day, Mr. Dezhakam referred me to my current Jones’s Legion guide, traveler Reza, and I joined the Jones legion. I began my Jones’s journey in January 2024. During this process, I adhered strictly to all the guide's instructions: consuming D.Sap before breakfast, having two eggs as breakfast five days a week, lentil soup one day, and two lamb trotters on another. Thirty minutes before lunch and dinner, I had a seasonal salad with D.Sap as seasoning, followed by proper meals in appropriate portions and at suitable and planned times. Morning exercise was also part of my routine, along with consuming nuts and fruits as per instructions.
After 22 months and 15 days in my first journey, and now three months into the second journey, and also 10 months in the Jones journey, I successfully lost 20 kilograms. I achieved this without needing to have my entire ear removed due to skin cancer and the lesion I had. This accomplishment was confirmed during a follow-up with my doctor, whose letter is attached to this article.
The doctor, to his amazement and disbelief, officially declared on his personalized letterhead that I no longer required any further treatment or surgeries, and that my condition had been completely cured. I presented this written statement of my doctor who is specialist in otolaryngology to Mr. Dezhakam. Mr. Dezhakam advised me to revisit the doctor, explain how and where I had undergone treatment, and detail the DST method in Congress 60 that cured my skin condition and lesion. I followed this directive and revisited the doctor to share Mr. Dezhakam’s reviews with him.
Overall, I am deeply grateful to Mr. Dezhakam for providing the framework and the DST method, as well as the weight-loss approach through the Jones’s legion, which helped me achieve balance in my weight. I extend heartfelt thanks to my first and second journey guide, Mr. Hossein Namdari, and my Jones’s journey guide, Mr. Reza.
Sincerely,
Traveller Shahram, First Legion, Dena Branch, Shahreza.
