Today on Feminine Roadmap we talk about the power of honest medicine, treatments that your doctor may not tell you about time-tested, inexpensive treatments for life-threatening diseases. When guest Julia Schopick’s husband was diagnosed with cancer she found herself face to face with the challenge of choosing how to treat her husband’s cancer. Unsure of what was best, unaware of other options Julia felt she had to say yes to a surgery that didn’t quite feel right resulting in severe damage to her husband’s brain. That traumatic event led her on her own personal journey to find a treatment to turn her husband’s prognosis and new health challenges around. Through a series of introductions and even her own research, Julia met experts who became her husband’s help and champions helping him to far exceed his original prognosis by 12 years. This experience inspired her to write 2 books around the research, treatments and experts behind them in hopes of helping empower others who are facing a cancer diagnosis or autoimmune disease to become informed about all of their treatment choices. One of Julia’s greatest pieces of advice is to arm yourself with information, know who is funding the information you consume, and learn to separate the wheat from the chaff then make the decision that is best for you and your loved one. Understanding everyone’s body and needs are different, Julia offers her personal perspective and story without judgement, for your arsenal of health tools. If you or a loved one want to learn more about the power of honest medicine and the alternative options that are out there to treat cancers and autoimmune disease, this episode is here as a resource.
