About Lynn Fraley
LYNN FRALEY, B.A., R.N., DR. PH is a licensed registered nurse who coaches women who seek better health, vitality, and confidence to make lifestyle choices that produce positive results. Lynn has spent enough time in the healthcare business to know the high value of self-care.
A graduate of Wayne State University, with a degree in Nursing and a minor in Natural Sciences, Lynn discovered early in her career severe deficiencies in health care, and a lack of creativity in treatment, particularly for cancer. Recognizing the importance of emotional health, its role in illness and the significance of prevention, she pursued further education, attending UCLA, earning a Masters in Community Mental Health Nursing. She taught psychiatric nursing at Mount St. Mary’s College in Los Angeles and continued to work clinically, again identifying the limited, narrow scope of care practices available to patients.
Looking for more answers, Lynn sought additional education at UC Berkeley, School of Public Health, receiving a doctoral degree, completing dissertation research on the effectiveness of acupressure as a treatment in women’s health.
Her clinical practice continued in a wide variety of settings, allowing her to observe the efficacy of complementary care methods, which she used with hundreds of patients.
Motivated by a drive to educate the broader pubic about lifestyle choices and their profound effect on health and wellness, Lynn became a professional speaker to audiences nationwide. Her topics include detoxification and prevention, the healing power of touch, nutrition, stress management and energy enhancement.
She rose through the ranks to serve as President of the National Speakers Association, Northern California Chapter.
Lynn coauthored a book on nutrition, with Betty Kamen, Ph.D., titled Nutrition in Nursing: The New Approach (Keats Publishing), which has an emphasis on nutrient density and healing with food.
When invited to present a program at the Cancer Control Society’s Annual Conference thirty years ago, Lynn was excited and gratified to discover the breadth and depth of options for healing cancer and other illnesses, in work being done globally. Her post-conference trip to Tijuana to see the clinics treating cancer and other serious diseases was life changing.
Lynn is an in-demand speaker, with an active coaching practice that focuses on self-care. She understands that consumers are too often left in the dark, and are fearful, reluctant to challenge or engage in discussions with authority figures, not encouraged to question proposed treatments, or to even explore natural healing. Lynn believes everyone should have the support they need to transform their lives, exploring options around health, and especially cancer.
Lynn’s book, SAVE THE GIRLS!! A Well-Rounded Approach to Women’s Breast Health will be released later in 2019.

Thank you.
It was 30 years ago that I came here to this incredible conference, this Cancer Control Society conference, and I came and did a presentation on nutrition. I was so proud of myself being able to be a presenter here. I had worked with cancer a little bit, but I and I saw the revolving door. So I came here all quite excited about it.
And I was so amazed at the content of the presenters and exhibitors that I was shocked, humbled and embarrassed that I knew so little about cancer. And if I knew so little about cancer, what did anyone else know? What did my colleagues know? What did the rest of the public know? I had so much education and experience. Wouldn't my standard depend a little bit higher? So it really changed my life and I was eternally grateful for that. I've worked in many areas of health care, lots of different clinical situations, and continue to see how important natural carers and how many different resources we have and we really need to use.
So a question that people often will ask, well, where do I find the information? I mean, how do you do your own research? I mean, where do you start? So where are some places to start?
Google. Exactly. Where else?
I hope your provider. Hope you don't keep your provider out of the loop for a couple of reasons. One is if you're on a path, it's more conscious than a lot of people's path.
You're going to educate your provider. So you want to and they're doing their best they can given their blinds. The issue with Google. Remember that when you go to look for information, you don't just say Google, whatever the problem is, Google problems with or alternatives to or going beyond.
And then you will get a whole different set.
You're not going to get the usual ads and all of the propaganda that might be in there for the first 20 or 30 pages. Sometimes people say this is FDA approved. Is what you're talking about. FDA approved. The FDA is a beleaguered institution.
They're really funded. They can't possibly keep up with what's going on. They don't approve a lot of things. They have blanket approvals and they're also they take hundreds. How many? Half a million. Millions of dollars. Hundreds of millions of dollars from pharmaceutical companies to provide studies for them to fast track.
So if people ask you, what about the FDA approval, the quit? The answer is you might want to learn a little bit more about the FDA approval process because it doesn't really have
