BABY BRIANNAH FOUNDATION - A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT CORPORATION
The Olsen family celebrated the addition of a third little girl into the family on October 11, 2005, Briannah-Grace Danielle Olsen. Two months later after noticing she wasn’t gaining weight, they began what would turn out to be a lengthy pursuit to determine why. Finally in February 2006, after much frustration, they made an emergency room visit which envolved her being checked into PICU and undergoing a battery of tests. An MRI revealed that Briannah had a massive in-operable brain tumor.

Special Note:
Please know that we are not against doctors or conventional medicine in any way. We thank God for all of the doctors who help us with Briannah. Because Briannah was not given any options of a cure, we sought after an alternative treatment. It is our desire to share our journey in hopes that it will encourage and help someone along the way.
Sincerely,
Mark and Tammy Olsen

SOUTH COAST MEDICAL CENTER FOR NEW MEDICINE
PerfectlyHealthy - Leigh Erin Connealy, MD
LEIGH ERIN CONNEALY, M.D., M.P.H. received a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Texas and her M.D. from the University of Chicago. She did her postgraduate training in family practice at Harbor/UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Connealy began practicing medicine in 1986. More and more of her patients started asking about alternative treatments and this prompted her to learn everything she could about nontoxic protocols. In 1992, she founded the South Coast Medical Center for New Medicine in Irvine, California, where she serves as Medical Director. Her practice is firmly based in the belief that strictly treating health problems with medications does not find the root cause of the illness. The Center’s doctors, nurse practitioners and complementary medical specialists work synergistically to provide the very best of “New Medicine”, focusing on determining the root cause of illness, and looking at the whole person relative to nutritional, physiological, social and environmental effects. Their “prescriptions” routinely included customized dietary and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional supplements, and other complementary therapies.

I would like to introduce my friend Lanette Veres. Lanette is also a brain tumor survivor that resides here in the beautiful state of Arizona. Lanette has started her own foundation in support of brain tumor patients and their families.
Her Philosophy: We are about support and not statistics. What does that mean? It means that we care about each special person facing a brain tumor and we want to help them individually. We know that more people are being diagnosed with brain tumors every day – from the famous people like Senator Ted Kennedy to the not famous but equally important – a friend, neighbor or coworker. We know that over 200,000 people will be told they have a brain tumor in this year alone and that in that group will be thousands of young children. We want to help.

Their heart is to see the lost saved, the sick healed, the distressed relieved, the broken restored, and the discouraged empowered to victory. "True Christianity is not the formal, powerless thing that so many have come to know. Real fellowship with the living Christ, the Anointed One, results in the destruction of every bondage, the removal of every burden, and the fulfillment of every good desire. There is no life so exciting as the victorious life that is true Christianity."

Presenter, "Exploring Life in Heaven with Rose Martin"
There are a lot of changes taking place in this world, aren't there? Difficulties and trials are increasing. Thankfully the Lord told us He would never leave us or forsake us, and He will guide, comfort, and direct us during these turbulent times. Knowing where this life on earth will ultimately lead you can give you great strength when faced with the decisions and trials you face every day. Heaven is a real place! And there is so much we can learn about it right now!
"Exploring Life in Heaven with Rose Martin," our current outreach, is a teaching that will answer many questions about what happens when your time on earth is over. This is a good thing to know as times get more difficult here on earth.
As you go through the trials of life on this earth, remember your ultimate destination, and keep your eyes on things above and not on earthly things! (Colossians 3:2)
