Brandon LaGreca, LAc, MAcOM, Dipl OM (NCCAOM), BS

Brandon LaGreca, LAc, MAcOM, grew up on the East Coast of the US and attended Montclair State University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in science with a minor in religion, summa cum laude. He then moved to the West Coast to fulfill a dream he had from the age of 12 of studying traditional Chinese medicine. He was accepted to the prestigious Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, where he earned a master’s degree in acupuncture and Oriental medicine. His postgraduate work included studying and working at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine in China.

After 10 years of private practice, Brandon experienced firsthand the journey of the wounded healer when a series of small bowel obstructions led to hospitalization and diagnosis of stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He achieved remission eight months later following an integrative oncology protocol that included immunotherapy 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 eco-spirituality.

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.
