Bob Marley was 36 years old when he died on May 11, 1981 and buried on May 21 of the same year. He was diagnosed with melanoma four years before his death. Several months before his diagnosis, in the summer of 1977, Bob Marley injured his toe while playing soccer in Paris, France.
He was gifted a pair of suspect boots in 1976.
Lew Lee, a documentary filmmaker said; "People came by his house. There were always people going in and out. Someone gave Bob a pair of boots. He put his foot in and said "Ow!" A friend got in there - you know how Jamaicans are. He said, "let's get in here" - in the boot, and he pulled a piece of copper wire out. It was embedded in the boot." The assumption is it was radioactive because Marley later broke his toe playing soccer in London and when the bone wouldn't mend, the doctors found that the toe had cancer.
The boots were a gift from Carl Colby, son of the late William Colby, CIA director. William Colby was very much alive at the time.
His toenail became partially detached. When he consulted with the hotel doctor, who removed the toenail. He told his manager that he had a sore “off and on” for several years.
Initially, the injury seemed like it was healing but later that summer it worsened and he consulted with a doctor in London, while on tour. The doctor ordered a biopsy and diagnosed Marley with malignant melanoma. In subsequent doctors visits, the diagnosis of malignant melanoma was confirmed. He was advised that the toe should be amputated, however, Marley refused, citing religious reasons. Marley was a devout Rastafarian and one of their beliefs is based on the Leviticus 21:5 in the Old Testament, “They shall not make baldness upon their heads, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.”
Although he didn’t agree to the amputation, he did allow a doctor in Miami to excise the cancerous tissue and do a skin graft. This surgery was considered successful but as Marley continued his music career over the next several years, his health deteriorated. By 1980, Marley’s cancer has metastasized and although he didn’t feel well, he continued to tour, starting a tour with Stevie Wonder. The second stop of the tour was in New York and it is reported that Marley looked ill during the concert. The morning after the concert, he collapsed during a run in Central Park. He was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Marley spent the next several months consulting with doctors in New York and Miami but did not stick with any treatments. At one point he received a few radiation treatments but then elected to stop treatment. He eventually went to Germany to seek the help of a holistic doctor, Dr. Josef Issels. He received treatments such as exercise, ozone injections and vitamins. But these treatments didn’t work and Marley decided to go back to his home in Jamaica to die. He became so ill in the plane, they stopped in Florida where he died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital on May 11, 1981. His cancer had spread to his liver, lungs and brain.
Bob Marley had acral lentigious melanoma, a form of skin cancer that occurs in both Caucasians and African Americans and is extremely aggressive. It is most commonly found on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and around the big toe. It can grow under the nails and is more commonly seen on the feet than on the hands. It is the most common form of melanoma in skin of color.
Despite the fact that people with skin of color are less at risk of developing skin cancer, the mortality rates are much higher. This might be because they don’t necessarily associate skin cancer with a sore that won’t heal or a irregularly shaped mole and don’t seek medical attention until the cancer has spread.
A discoloration or dark stripe under the nails can be one of the first signs of acral lentigious melanoma. It can also appear as discoloration on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet. Other early warning signs include:
A sore that won’t heal
A mole with irregular borders or one that is asymmetrical
A mole that changes shape, grows or changes color
A mole that has more than one color
Moles that bleed, are scaly, itch or hurt
New moles
Redness or swelling around a mole
If you have any of these signs, it is important to see a dermatologist immediately. Early detection and treatment of skin cancer is essential.
TREATMENT
What is the treatment for Advanced Malignant Melanoma ?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology 2010 “No effective therapy exists at this time for metastatic disease to the internal organs”. Until effective therapy is developed the focus must remain on early detection and removal of the primary tumor or mole.
As his metastatic disease progressed, Bob Marley decided to die at home in Jamaica. The group chartered a flight for the trip home. While flying home to Jamaica his vital functions worsened, and the plane was directed to Florida. He was immediately admitted to Cedars of Lebanon Hospital and died May 11, 1981. His wife and mother were by his side. He was said to weigh a shocking 82lbs on the day he died.
He received a state funeral in Jamaica May 21 1981, which combined Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafarian tradition. He was buried with his guitar, a soccer ball, a marijuana bud, a ring and a Bible.
. . .
Some questions still remain about the Bob Marley story.
Why was he given clearance to go “on tour” with an advance malignant melanoma? Did the Doctor really know his condition? Were any medical tests done? Blood, x-rays etc? Was he was a medical specialist?
Also how did he manage to survive so long with an advanced cancer? Was it his marijuana use? This is highly unlikely. According to studies it is difficult to predict outcomes for individual patients with melanoma. We know he was a man of incredible stamina and drive.
Would the FDA approved drug Interferon have helped him? This is the only one approved for Adjuvant treatment of malignant melanoma. Definitely, the amputation would have prolonged his life.

he talented singer Bob Marley who seemed to have the world at his feet, survived an attack on his life by several armed men at his house in Hope Road, Jamaica back in 1976, and film was taken of several men who seemed to be surveying his home but the film was "lost" in processing.
Shortly after Bob Marley and his group the Wailers several of whom bore wounds from the attack, were appearing at the Smile Jamaica Festival and on stage Bob was ranting against the American CIA and its continuing destablising and undermining of Jamaica and about the Vietnam War.
The minders for the wailers group all carried machetes and were told to let no one pass, yet Carl Colby the son of the director of the CIA William Colby passed through and gave a pair of football boots to Bob Marley whose main loves in life were music and football.
When he tried the boots on he was hurt by a small piece of copper wire inside which pierced his toe, which became infected then cancerous shortly after.
The suggestion by those close to him was that copper is an amazing conductor and there may have been some toxic substance like plutonium on the wire.
Bob Marley was a fit healthy vegetarian and some months later the same toenail came off in a football match and an unknown doctor gave him an injection, some short while later malignant cancer was diagnosed in the same toe.
The toe just would not heal and was so infected that a doctor recommended amputation, Bob Marley refused and for 3 years was involved with his music until 1980 when he suffered a stroke while jogging in New York Central park, the cancer had now spread to his liver, brain and lungs.
The doctor treating Bob Marley was told not to treat him as he was the most dangerous black man on the planet, continually singing about peace, but the treatment continued. Bob himself felt they were trying to kill him with injections etc, and he died in a Miami hospital on May 11 1981 weighing just 82 pounds.
John Lennon of the famous Beatles pop group was also killed to silence his criticism of the Vietnam War, and a long list of pop stars who use their fame as a platform to speak for peace have also been eliminated. From Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson Jimmy Hendrix and many more, pop music is known to be very NWO controlled, and a means to influence the young.
New evidence shows Sirhan Sirhan did not kill Robert Kennedy who was also against USA foreign policy on Vietnam etc.
Georgi Markov was a high profile Bulgarian dissident resident in London, He died as a result of an incident on a London street when a micro-engineered pellet containing the poison toxin ricin was fired into his leg via an umbrella wielded by a KGB operative who touched him with it as he passed by, heart attacks can also be engendered by outside influences, this shows that the intel people had this knowledge and used it as a means to silence.
The powers that rule the world are indeed evil.
According to a study published in the journal Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research on Monday, acral melanoma most often affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, nail-beds and other hairless parts of the skin.
Unlike other more common types of melanoma, it’s not caused by UV damage from the sun.
Music legend Bob Marley died in 1981 after a four-year battle with acral melanoma, the rare fast-growing kind of skin cancer, that started on his toe.
The team, from the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute at The University of Manchester, sequenced the tumours of five patients with acral melanoma and combined this with data from three other patients. They then compared the pattern of genetic faults found in these eight tumours with that of more common types of skin cancer.

This revealed that the type of DNA damage found in acral melanoma is very different from other types of skin cancer. For example in acral melanomas, it was much more common to find large chunks of the DNA that had broken off and reattached elsewhere, as opposed to the smaller DNA changes typically found in more common types of skin cancer.
Study leader Professor Richard Marais, director of the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, at The University of Manchester, said: "Too much UV radiation from the sun or sunbeds can lead to a build-up of DNA damage that increases skin cancer risk.
"But acral skin cancer is different because the gene faults that drive it aren’t caused by UV damage. Pinpointing these faults is a major step towards understanding what causes this unique form of cancer, and how it can best be treated."
Nell Barrie, senior science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: “We hope that understanding the faults that drive acral melanoma will unlock better ways of treating this rare yet aggressive type of skin cancer.
