Much of Lawrence's interest
in holistic healthcare stemmed from his own experience battling
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 21. While exploring the
roots of 'disease' and of 'wellness', he came to personally
understand the metaphors at play in human health, and the role
of personal responsibility in addressing all forms of disease,
including cancer. After experimenting on himself using herbal
medicine and other holistic modalities alongside traditional
chemotherapy, Lawrence discovered the powerful ways that each
of these medical traditions can play a role in treating human
illness. This experience forms the basis of his approach to
treating patients in the clinical setting.
Lawrence is the founder and
president of My Herbalist Herbal Formulas, a comprehensive line
of products for adults and children that treat the most common
health conditions. (To learn more visit www.MyHerbalist.com.)
