The Holy Dirt of ChimayoFrom Miracle Detectives: Holy Dirt of Chimayo
Indre and Randall fly to Colorado to speak with Deseree Martinez, who was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 15. With over 20 different bone lesions on her body, she was given only a ten percent chance to live for three months. On an 8th grade trip to New Mexico, Dese rubbed some of the dirt on her skin at the site of her most painful lesion. After the trip, she seemed to be recovering. Scans showed signs of improvement. "Dr. Greffe stated one of the lesions just didn't show up anymore. And it happened to be the part that I put the dirt on." Published on January 19, 2011
