Dr. Kelly Turner, PhD is a researcher, lecturer, and consultant in the field of integrative Oncology. Her specialized research focus is the Unexpected Remission of cancer, which is a remission that occurs either in the absence of Western Medicine, or after Western Medicine has failed to achieve remission. While Dr. Turner’s research focuses on anomalies and why they occur, in her consulting work with cancer patients she is a strong proponent of Western oncology treatments, and she consults on how to integrate them with complementary treatments.
Dr. Turner’s interest in complementary medicine began when she received her B.A. from Harvard University, and it later became the sole focus of her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. Her dissertation research included a year-long trip around the world, for which she and her husband, Aaron Teich, L.Ac. traveled to ten different countries to interview 50 holistic healers and 20 Unexpected Remission cancer survivors about their healing practices and techniques. You may download a full copy of her dissertation here.
Kelly is currently working on a book for cancer patients which summarizes her research findings, and is also developing the site UnexpectedRemission.org. She also provides one-on-one Integrative Cancer Consultations at Shuniya Health & Healing, a private holistic health practice with locations in New York City and the Hamptons.
