Contacts & Resources

Most of these are mentioned through the posts, but they are all condensed here for easy access:

Doctors, Naturopaths, Acupuncturists

  • Dr. Julie Taguchi (Santa Barbara-based oncologist who specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement. Lucky for all of you, she is now in private practice, and works with people globally (via telehealth), to help them find the best hormone solution for them - all centered on the rhythmic BHRT protocol. She does NOT only work with oncology patients, in fact most of her patients are not cancer patients. Her rates are very reasonable in this space, and once you have one consult with her, she is available for follow-up messaging free of charge (and I can attest to just how generous she is with her time; your well-being is truly her aim, not making money). I credit her with single-handedly bringing me back to life after my surgeries and radical hormone disruption, which left me a husk of a human, and again in my more recent deterioration due to unavailable compounded hormones. I owe this woman my life and I’ve learned that most of her patients feel the same.) I would recommend emailing her, asking which lab results she wants you to have, and then scheduling a virtual consult with the lab results to develop your optimal protocol. Email: dr.t@thriverawellness.com. Of note: She now also uses a biophoton machine (see info about that on the treatments page) in her private practice.

  • Dr. Joshua Cohen (City of Hope (OC), formerly UCLA, oncological surgeon; if you need to be cut into, he is the man. We don’t always agree on hormone protocol, but he is a master surgeon and the only person I ever want cutting into me. Very responsive via phone and super caring.)

  • Dr. Daniel Leiber (The Angeles Clinic, affiliate of Cedars Sinai, LA, oncologist; notable for his collaborations with other oncologists and specialists across different institutions; requested tests and sought expertise in ways my other doctors did not; will give you his cell phone number and picks up the phone. A true saint.)

  • Dr. Daniel Dumesic (UCLA, endocrinologist)

  • Chicken Soup Chinese Medicine, Misha Cohen (acupuncturist/herbalist, San Francisco; notable for reading technical medical reports and working with doctors to develop a complementary protocol)

  • Acutonix, Adam Griffin (acupuncturist, Los Angeles - Venice/Culver City)

  • Riordan Clinic (naturopaths with a specialization in high-vitamin C IV therapy, Kansas; haven’t worked with them yet but come highly recommended)

  • Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment (chronomodulated chemotherapy; Chicago; didn’t work with them, but they are highly recommended if you do pursue chemo)

  • Synergy Medical Clinic, Dr. Jennifer Wicher (mistletoe injections and other naturopathic services; LA; haven’t worked with them yet)

  • Dr. Mark Renneker (no website but phone number via link; San Francisco, but works with patients remotely via video; was highly referred and described as a “medical sleuth” for rare conditions; keeping him on my radar for future reference)

  • Dr. Kate Tenney (naturopath with a specialization in oncology; didn’t end up working with her, but a good resource if you’re in the Bay Area; will also do virtual consults)

  • Pacific and Orange Coast Medical Center of Hope: Dr. Mohammed Nezami has developed a groundbreaking targeted therapy. If you take the test and are eligible, have the money, and can spend some time in Orange County getting the treatment, it comes very highly recommended. Worth exploring his site to look at all the research he has published on its efficacy. Here’s how he explains the treatment: “A protocol called MTET, for multi molecular modified targeted epigenetic therapy, a profile related to evidence determining customized cancer care. This approach utilizes advanced molecular technologies to match tumors with natural and non toxic cancer treatments that optimizes chances for response.”

Other Resources

  • Biophoton, Maya Davinci (Los Angeles. Maya is a true healer. Her equipment is very similar to that of Quantum 360, though she was able to identify and correct core dysfunction / root causes they did not pick up on. As my life has taken me outside of LA, I continue to work with her remotely — I have no idea how this works, but quantum physics is pretty incredible, and all I can say is it IS still effective. She is also a master at craniosacral. So highly recommend her.)

  • Quantum 360, Aaron Cameron (Malibu)

  • Create Healthy Homes / Oram Miller (310-720-7686). The website is a bit painful, so I recommend calling him and having him either do an EMF audit on your home OR do a virtual consult to guide you through what you need (if you don’t live in SoCal). There is no one more knowledgeable (and he’s reasonably priced, because he just really cares about helping people.)

  • Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs

  • Shielded Healing (nationwide in-home EMF consults)

  • Moss Reports (If you are on the fence about buying one of his reports specific to each type of cancer, you can sign up for his newsletter and get free access to a google doc sample, which I found very insightful. I did not purchase the ovarian cancer report only because it did not have info on the mucinous type)

  • Foundation Medicine (for molecular analysis of tumors)

  • Methodology (healthy meal delivery service in CA; 10% off first order with link; great option when you are too weak to cook)

  • Thrive Market (healthy and affordable food resource; 25% off first order with link)
