“You don’t need hope when things are going well. Hope is grown in times of hopelessness.” -Dr. Shamanie Frykman
Dr. Shamanie Frykman is a chiropractor, breast cancer survivor, and co-founder of Relationship Medicine. She and her husband also run a functional medicine clinic in Wayzata, Minnesota.
Shamanie was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer in 2014. She was a mom of three young kids, going through a painful divorce, and living with a deep fear of dying.
After surgery, Shamanie opted out of chemo, radiation, and tamoxifen. Instead, she chose the Gerson Therapy, focusing on plant-based nutrition and fresh juices, and started working on the emotional side of healing, dealing with fear, anger, and unforgiveness.
I was delighted to learn that my story helped give Shamanie the courage to take a different path after her diagnosis.
In our interview, we talk about Shamanie’s restorative journey through nutrition, healing from emotional trauma, and finding gratitude in the midst of life’s greatest trials.
I’m grateful to Shamanie for sharing her survival story, which was centered on overcoming fear, choosing forgiveness, and relentless faith. I know this interview will encourage you. Enjoy!

The song is by Tim McGraw whose father, Tug McGraw, had brain cancer, glioblastoma (same as my late husband). It’s a very special song.

Oh Shamanie, your story echoes mine so clearly. Thank you for this interview. Thank you too, Chris. Your interviews keep me on track and encourage me forward. May the Lord bless you both with ongoing health and joy in His service. Amen
God bless you dear Sandra.
Every time I think of forgiving people who have hurt me, my mind is full of doubt. I don’t know how to even begin a conversation with someone who has hurt me, because I know it would make them upset and defensive right away and that it would start an argument!! as in: “What do you mean I hurt you?”
Could you suggest what set of words placed in what order would not set off like grenades everywhere?
Thankyou so much Chris and Shamanie. I don’t have cancer but have friends and relatives . I also do Christian spiritual inner healing through my church and so this has been so interesting and inspirational. We have been created body, soul and spirit. Each area effects the other. Love and blessings from South Africa.
So glad that I decided to watch this interview.! Thank you both Chris and Shamanie for the encouragement and insight from your personal stories.
Wonderful, wonderful interview! Probably one of my favorites so far. Thank you for the encouragement!

I used both conventional and alternative therapies
