“Dr. Lawenda is a rare find. Although select doctors and institutions now label themselves as “integrative”, they can be hard to access and none provide to the public the very generous amount of highly reputable and well-researched content that Dr. Lawenda graciously offers on his website free of charge. And I have also been grateful to pay the nominal fee to have his personalized consults regarding my cancer treatment. He is very generous with his time and embodies the definition of “integration” by breaking down the common barriers between western medicine and eastern or holistic traditions. His keenly intelligent thought processes and assessments flow seamlessly between complex evaluations of radiation treatment efficacy and the biological basis and importance of often overlooked lab tests, to the importance of understanding premises in Chinese medicine, herbal supplements, and stress reduction. I am deeply grateful for his level-headed, holistic, and expert guidance as I navigate this complex and challenging experience with breast cancer and I intend to keep consulting with him throughout my treatment course. He is a beacon and I can only hope that many other patients and professionals will be inspired and guided by his illuminating and progressive approach to cancer treatment and wellness.”
