In the very same week that I left my finance job to work on a startup, my 23-year-old brother was dealt a crisis.
His cancer had come back, it was expected to be aggressive, and there weren't many options left for him. He could do chemotherapy, but it wasn't expected to cure him. It could perhaps extend his life in months, not years.
While I'm figuring out what startup to launch, what better problem to solve then the one placed on our door step?
That's when I found the world on naturopathic medicine and since then, we haven't looked back. We've left no stone unturned and have implemented over 30 natural and holistic therapies. My brother experienced tumor shrinkage for 8 consecutive months without any conventional therapy.
He continues his battle against osteosarcoma, but we have lots of faith, excitement, and hope that what we're doing will continue to work.
