He then moved to the west coast to a fulfill a dream from the age of 12 to study traditional Chinese medicine. He was accepted to the prestigious Oregon College of Oriental Medicine where he earned his Master’s in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. His post-graduate work included studying and working at Nanjing University of traditional Chinese medicine in China. 10 years into his private practice, Brandon experienced firsthand the journey of the wounded healer when a series of small bowel obstructions lead to hospitalization and diagnosis of stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He achieved remission 8 months later following an integrative oncology protocol that included immunotherapy, but without surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. He now lectures and writes on the epigenetics of cancer and has dedicated his career to empowering patients through and beyond chronic illnesses such as cancer. His latest interests include studying indigenous forms of healing and ecospirituality. He is the author of “Cancer and EMF Radiation: How to Protect Yourself From the Silent Carcinogen of Electropollution,” “Cancer, Stress & Mindset: Focusing the Mind to Empower Healing and Resilience,” and “Cancer, Trauma & Emotions: A Traditional Medicine Path to Spiritual Wholeness.” He shares his thoughts at EmpoweredPatientBlog.com.
