Why I Decided to Step Outside the Standard System: Laura’s Story
When you get a diagnosis like malignant melanoma, it's so easy to feel like you've been dropped onto a conveyor belt. Suddenly you're stuck in a rigid, one size fits all loop of endless hospital waiting rooms and repetitive options that often just boil down to waiting for the next surgery. For Laura Gallagher, who is a stay at home mom of two in Burbank who's already busy managing her children's developmental needs, that routine felt entirely exhausting. In our video interview, Laura’s Testimony 2026 from the Cancer Research and Life Foundation, we sit down with Laura to talk about what happened when she finally decided to look for a different kind of care with Dr. Nezami.
Seeking a Different Path
After traditional oncology opinions just weren't giving her any real answers or peace of mind, Laura turned to her naturopath, Dr. Shiva Lazar over in the Brentwood area. Her naturopath was adamant that she look into Dr. Nezami's approach. Trusting that recommendation, Laura started going in for specialized infusions, initially four times a week, gradually tapering down to twice a month over the past year.
Instead of the heavy physical toll and constant anxiety of traditional hospital visits, Laura shares how shifting to this alternative care has genuinely helped her body feel stronger while lifting a massive amount of mental stress off her shoulders.

Throughout the chat, Laura opens up about why she ultimately chose to step away from conventional medicine and how finding a protocol focused on rebuilding her body made all the difference. She talks candidly about the stark contrast between the tense, impersonal waiting rooms she used to sit in and the calmer, much more streamlined communication she gets with Dr. Nezami's office.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by conventional medical routines, searching for alternative perspectives on chronic health challenges, or just looking for an honest story of someone advocating for their own well-being, Laura's journey is well worth a listen.
