Lauren’s Story

A Journey of Strength and Hope

In June 2023, Lauren’s world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Advanced Metastatic Breast Cancer. What began as hip pain revealed a devastating truth: cancer had spread to her bones, liver, and peritoneum. Heartbreakingly, this wasn’t her first battle. In 2018, Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer just a week after learning she was four weeks pregnant.

Through incredible strength, she endured rounds of chemotherapy while pregnant, as well as radiation and multiple surgeries. Against all odds, Lauren was declared cancer-free and delivered a healthy baby, Adelyn, that same year—a year of unimaginable highs and lows.

After years in remission, Lauren is now facing an even greater fight, determined to achieve lifelong remission and continue being the amazing mom, partner, and inspiration she is.

Fighting Stage IV Metastatic Cancer

Lauren’s 3-Step Plan to Beat the Odds

In the fall of 2024, Lauren was told there was no curative solution for her cancer. Her future, according to conventional medicine, would consist of increasingly harsh chemotherapies—treatments that take a devastating toll on the body, making even daily tasks and parenting nearly impossible. Once these treatments were exhausted, the prognosis was grim.

Faced with this reality, Lauren made a courageous decision. She took medical leave from her business to dedicate her energy entirely to her family and to finding a path to remission. That path required relentless research.

Lauren has poured countless hours into exploring viable treatment options, consulting with physicians and clinics around the world, and identifying the most advanced and effective solutions science has to offer. Her plan is a thoughtful combination of holistic and Western medicine—evidence-based and meticulously researched. These treatments, however, come with a significant challenge: they are not covered by insurance.

  • If you’re gonna fight hard, you gotta live a life worth fighting for. LIVE!!! #beatcancer #fighttolive #momwithcancer

Step 1

Achieving Short-Term Stability

Lauren’s goal is to maintain stability. To achieve this, she is following a comprehensive regimen of alternative treatments designed to manage her condition and strengthen her immune system. These treatments include:

Intravenous High-dose Vitamin C

Lauren undergoes this treatment twice a week, enhanced by hyperbaric oxygen therapy to maximize its efficacy. High-dose Vitamin C is a cornerstone of many holistic healing protocols, with clinical research supporting its benefits. For Lauren, this treatment has provided tangible results—improving her white blood cell counts, supporting liver function, and helping her ward off illnesses. It may also be slowing the progression of her cancer and reducing its impact on her bones.

Lauren’s Regimen: 50g dose, 2x/week since August 2024

Estimated Cost: ~$275/dose, $550/week or $2,200.00/month

Sources:


Almost all integrative medicine centers include daily PEMF as part of their treatment regimen. Cancer cannot survive in a highly electrified environment, which is why cancer never occurs in the heart. PEMF creates a more electrified environment and also decreases inflammation.

Lauren’s Regimen: 30 minutes on mat covering pelvis through shoulders, high-power to level of comfort, 5x/week, since mid-October 2024

Estimated Cost: $30/session, $150/week or $600/month

Sources:

Red light therapy works by delivering low-level red light wavelengths that are absorbed by the mitochondria within cells. This leads to increased energy production (ATP), which can promote cell repair and regeneration. It is safe to do it up to two times per week.

Lauren’s Regimen: Full body bed, 2x/week, since September 2024

Estimated Cost: $30/session, $60/week or $240/month

Sources:

Lauren’s Regimen: September 2023 – April 2024, re-started October 2024

There are several reputable resources, including the NIH, that studied the efficacy of Haelen951. It was also mentioned in “Healing Breast Cancer Naturally” and other published books by MDs, DOs, and others who have healed Cancer without Chemotherapy.

There have been patients who went on an aggressive dose and were able to completely stabilize their Cancer with Haelen951 alone.

Lauren’s Regimen: Phase I is

  • Phase I — 1.5 bottles/day for 3 months.
  • Phase II — 1 bottle/day for 4 months
  • Phase III — .5 bottles/day for 3 months
  • Maintenance Phase — 1-2oz/day

 

Estimated Cost:

  • Phase I — $2160/mo
  • Phase II — $1429/mo
  • Phase III — $720/mo
  • Maintenance Phase —$360/mo

Everything from melatonin to curcumin, choline and hemp oil — Lauren’s medicine cabinet would rival that of Hippocrates! Each supplement has been thoroughly evaluated by her healthcare providers, modifying her regimen as needed.

Lauren’s Regimen: There are too many to list individually, but supplements are all provided by and reviewed by Lauren’s integrative medicine practitioner, Dr. Carriere.

Estimated Cost: ~$1,800/month

This treatment plan was added based on the results of a personalized test called RGCC out of Switzerland. The test runs Lauren’s blood sample against hundreds of conventional and natural medicines and therapies to identify which ones her cancer will respond to.

These chemo treatments are designed to keep Lauren’s cancer under control while buying her time to pursue the next steps in her treatment plan.

Lauren’s Regimen: 50g dose, 2x/week since August 2024

Estimated Cost: ~$7,000/month

  • List of Additional Substances for testing with RGCC

Lauren’s Regimen: 2-3x/week
Estimated Cost: 1 hour/session graciously donated by Yoga Pod Fort Collins

Diet has become a crucial part of Lauren’s journey toward remission, with the understanding that the right nutrition can be a powerful ally, supporting my body’s natural defenses and resilience.

Lauren’s Regimen: Strict, organic, Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet since March 2024 (transitioned slowly from July 2023 – March 2024)

Estimated Cost: My Nourishment Circle of Donors and team of Wellness Chefs provide 4 meals/week to my family so that we can devote our time and energy to each other! Thank you to everyone who continues to contribute!

Step 2

Fundraising for
Life-Saving Treatment

Lauren needs to raise $400k to continue pursuing the most effective, life-saving treatments. With her savings exhausted and credit cards already stretched to cover ongoing care, fundraising is essential to keep her journey moving forward. To avoid delays in her treatment, Lauren is also seeking individuals willing to loan her the funds, allowing her to continue without interruption. Time is critical—every contribution or loan brings her closer to hope and healing.

Step 3

Targeted Treatment for Remission with the Williams Cancer Institute in California

After thoroughly researching integrative cancer centers in the US, Mexico, and Germany, Lauren and Steve have chosen the Williams Cancer Institute in California as the best option for her care. This critical next step includes ongoing travel to California and Mexico for advanced procedures throughout 2025. To make this life-saving treatment a reality, Lauren must raise $400K to fund her travel and care at the Williams Cancer Institute.

Their cutting-edge, science-based therapies combine the best of traditional and holistic medicine. They start by addressing issues with the patient’s individual microbiome, so the immune system can do what it’s supposed to do — help aid the fight against cancer in the body. This is combined with intra-tumoral injections (image-guided injections directly into the tumor) and PEMF treatments directly into the tumor to kill and weaken the tumor cells. Once weakened, a personalized cocktail works to kill off the local and systemic tumor cells. Remission. Is. Possible.
