A Radical Remission is a cancer remission that occurs either without conventional medical treatment, after conventional treatment has failed to work, or when conventional and complementary methods are used in conjunction to overcome a dire prognosis. We believe that, given enough documented cases to research, the causes of Radical Remission can be uncovered.
That is why we created this website – to build a database of medical cases that will help us to understand why some people beat cancer against all odds.

Karla Mars Giroux, Co-Director, is a Radical Remission survivor living with stable metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, she underwent a bilateral mastectomy, chemo, and radiation. Eleven years later, in late 2014, she received a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. This diagnosis did not align with her goal of living to be 100+, so she decided to do all that she could to manage this challenge.
Karla embarked on a holistic healing journey to help herself regain optimal health and longevity. With her integrative approach to healing, she is blessed to report “no evidence of disease” since 2016!
Her passion has led her to share what she has learned so that everyone with a diagnosis can have a better chance of overcoming the odds.
Karla has a Bachelor of Arts degree from DePaul University, Chicago with a focus in Project and Change Management. She received her health coaching certification from the Wisdom of the Whole Coaching Academy, as well as the Radical Remission Project and is nationally board certified by the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaches (NBHWC).

Liz Curran, Co-Director, was inspired to become a health coach after caring for her sister with an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis in 2014.

As a Certified Radical Remission Health Coach, Liz has witnessed the power of lifestyle change firsthand, which motivates her to share the powerful benefits of the 10 healing factors with people seeking all types of treatments on their cancer journey, as well as other mental and physical diagnoses.

Lisa was diagnosed with stage 3C endometrial cancer in June 2017. After six months of chemotherapy and six surgeries, she was unable to continue her course of treatment due to a compromised immune system. Her immune system was extremely depleted and she was told she was at a higher risk for recurrence, so Lisa sought out how to boost her body’s immune system, and keep herself in remission.
She quickly found the Radical Remission’s 10 healing factors and started implementing them into her daily life. Radical Remission has been at the forefront of Lisa overcoming cancer and staying in remission since 2018. Today Lisa is a Functional Nutrition Counselor and Radical Remission Coach.

Gratitude
In the short time that we have been Co-Directors of the Radical Remission Project, we have come upon so many reasons to be grateful. Even before becoming Co-Directors, we were grateful for the research Dr. Turner conducted and for the opportunity to become Certified Radical Remission Health Coaches. Today, we are grateful for being able to amplify the mission of the Radical Remission Project and share its 10 healing factors. Behind the scenes, we are working on some exciting new projects and, in time, we will be able to share them with you.
For now, let’s talk about gratitude. You might feel like gratitude is over-hyped, but we can assure you there is good reason for all the buzz. According to one study from Harvard, “Across positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness.” This is great news since we are sure everyone would vote for greater happiness.
No matter where our mental and emotional health is at any moment, gratitude can help us see the good in our lives. Gratitude helps us connect with something bigger than ourselves, such as nature or a higher power. When we feel grateful, we are feeling a positive emotion and, as you know from Dr. Turner’s first book Radical Remission, “Positive emotions are like rocket fuel for the immune system.” Positive emotions lead to an outpouring in our bloodstreams of happy hormones that in turn boost our immune systems.
If you haven’t already established a gratitude practice of some kind, we strongly encourage you to start today. You can simply write down 3 things you are grateful for in a notebook or journal, use a daily planner, or write your 3 gratitudes on slips of paper and drop them in a mason jar on your kitchen counter. Find a method that works for you – you’ll be happy that you did!
