Get a true second opinion from Dr. Lodi

Dr. Lodi is now, once again offering a limited number of private consultations per week. The consultations will be available using the Zoom platform and a copy of the recording will be sent to you within 24 hours.

When diagnosed with cancer, a term that has become synonymous with death and carries no real meaning, a person’s life comes to an abrupt halt. All hopes, plans and dreams suddenly become irrelevant. It is as if their future had been stolen. All neurological connections from the amygdala, the location in the brain that processes fear, to the prefrontal cortex are short circuited rendering it impossible to make decisions or even think clearly at a time when clarity of thought and the ability to think critically are essential to the person’s survival. Being acutely aware of this newly acquired handicap, their fear multiplies further crippling even further the ability to think as their emotions spiral downward leaving them with a feeling of utter helplessness.

Yet, it is precisely at this moment that people have the right and the need to know the truth about their condition, what options are available and what each option offers in terms of prognosis, i.e., survivability and quality of life. And, as with any major life decision such as education, marriage, divorce, death of a loved one, purchasing a home or even purchasing an automobile, it is prudent and necessary to discover through research which, of all the options available would best suit that individual’s needs, desires, culture, and lifestyle.

Seeking a second opinion is the first step in this process of due diligence, yet we live in a culture where medical education has become standardized based upon consensus by only one of the medical or healing disciplines, e.g., allopathic, conventional oncology. However, a true second opinion requires that the professional rendering this second opinion has been educated, trained and is experienced in, not only conventional medical options, but in all of the options offered by the various disciplines from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, chiropractic, homeopathic medicine, naturopathic medicine to osteopathic medicine and conventional allopathic oncology.

Simply seeking opinions from the leading cancer hospitals in any country will result in two, three or even four first opinions, since each will have been trained in the same discipline using the same algorithmic decision trees. It is like looking for the most suitable new car by visiting 4 different Toyota dealers. None of them will discuss the benefits of a BMW or Ford.

For this reason, Dr. Lodi has decided to once again offer true second opinions.

Private consultations are open to everyone, whether or not you’re a member of our healing community. If you’re seeking ongoing support, consider joining the CFC Guidance program after your consultation.
