Cancer Survivor, Dr. Marcia Schaefer

In a journey filled with unexpected highs and lows, James delves into the remarkable story of Marcia Schaefer, DC, a survivor of both thyroid and melanoma cancers. With no symptoms and normal thyroid panel results, it was a routine dental visit that set her on a path to an unforeseen diagnosis of metastatic thyroid cancer. A short 3 months later, she found herself facing an 8% survival rate after her dermatologist discovered a melanoma – a remarkable discovery as the melanoma was as small as a pin tip. Dr. Schaefer shares the courageous choices she made to defy the odds. Opting out of conventional treatments like chemo and radiation, she embarked on a transformative journey to the Gerson Institute in Mexico, embracing a therapy that led to a clear scan just 6 months later. Today, Dr. Schaefer is not only a testament to the body’s ability to heal but also a beacon of hope for families seeking to build a strong, healthy foundation. Tune in to uncover the life-changing decisions and therapies that helped Dr. Schaefer not just survive but thrive, and how her experience has shaped her approach to fertility and family wellness.
