Incurable – Overcoming Seemingly Impossible Obstacles
Saturday, May 1st at 11:30 am
During his presentation, Kyle will discuss overcoming seemingly impossible odds in his fight to beat stage IV colon cancer. He will share things he learned along the way to help him during his journey, including some technological devices he built that encompass a wide range of science and innovation.
It is his hope that science along with incorporating metaphysics or a more holistic approach to healing the body, will someday be accepted more openly in the western medical community. He will also impart that attitude and fortitude, along with being your own advocate is a big part of the healing process.
About Kyle Olechnowicz
Highlights: Retired US Naval Commander, High School Teacher, Entrepreneur and Cancer Survivor.
As a 26 year veteran of the United States Navy, I’ve experienced many challenges at an early age in my life. At the peak of my active duty military career, I was directly responsible for the safety and lives of over 1,000 men and women and an annual budget of over $1.5 billion dollars. The knowledge and experience I gained prepared me for civilian life as a high school teacher and as the co-owner of Nature’s Bling, a holistic crystal, rock, gemstone and fossil business in Central Oregon.
I was in no way, however, prepared for the biggest battle of my life: Stage IV colon cancer with a diagnosis of “incurable.”
