In a particularly poignant interview, Ojai acupuncturist Kathleen MacGregor talks about her year-long battle with cancer and her upcoming fundraising benefit. Kathleen discusses her shocking diagnosis, her treatment incorporating natural therapies and western medicine, continuing her practice as a five-element acupuncturist, being self-employed without insurance and the excellent care she is receiving through the public health system.
