About the Authors



DR. Barbara MacDonald, N.D., L.Ac.
Dr. Barbara MacDonald is a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in private practice at A Woman's Time in Portland, Oregon. She has been caring for breast cancer patients as a part of her general clinical practice since 1997. Barbara incorporates naturopathic and classical Chinese medicine, CranioSacral Therapy and other mind-body-spirit techniques with evidence-based natural medicine to support her patients in their journey of healing and optimal wellness.

Dr. MacDonald has lectured extensively on integrative breast cancer care throughout the Pacific Northwest, giving presentations at Pacific Oncology, Susan G. Komen's Issues After Breast Cancer Conference, the Institute for Women's Health and Natural Medicine and at the National College of Natural Medicine. She was on the Board of Directors of the ClaraJean Foundation until 2008. She served as clinical supervisor of the Chinese and Naturopathic medicine Cancer Care Program at National College of Natural Medicine for three years. She also formed and facilitated the Portland Young Breast Cancer Survivor's support group from 1998 until 2003.


Dr. Kelly Jennings, N.D., L.Ac.
Dr. Kelly Jennings is a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in private practice at Urban Wellness Clinic in Portland, Oregon. She also has a degree in Neuroscience from Amherst College. She has been a prolific medical and health writer for the past ten years, receiving several writing awards from publications such as the Townsend Newsletter for Doctors and Patients. She also served as Contributing Editor for the quarterly medical student paper at the National College of Natural Medicine for six years. Before entering medical school, she was a clinical research associate in the prostate cancer division at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. This exposure to cutting edge cancer research led Kelly to pursue additional cancer care internships while in medical school. In 2005 she first met Barbara MacDonald and spent the next two years working closely with and under Barbara's supervision in the teaching clinics, learning more of the specifics of complementary and alternative cancer care. She is currently on the Board of Directors of the ClaraJean Foundation, an organization devoted to helping women with breast cancer find comprehensive treatment options.

Dr Jennings' passion for writing and her desire to learn from Barbara generated the spark for this book. Her commitment to the education and empowerment of her breast cancer patients as well as to the deeper questions of cancer development, its underlying cause and how to prevent its occurrence and recurrence inspire and inform her practice and writing.
