I am in the process of talking with cancer survivors to discover which organizations they found the most helpful. As I get more information, I will revise this list to include those resources that offer help for specific needs. If you would like to suggest a resource that benefited you, please send me an email HERE, I would love to hear from you.

Nutritional Therapies & Clinics

The Gerson Institute - The Gerson Institute is a non-profit organization located in San Diego, California, dedicated to providing education and training in the Gerson Therapy, an alternative, non-toxic treatment for cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases.
Hippocrates Health Institute - Our program provides guests with the tools necessary to take control of their own well-being, to allow the body to maximize its potential and heal itself naturally.
Burzynski Clinic - Although not a nutritional therapy, the antineoplasm therapy is worth researching. Dr. Burzynski is a pioneer in cancer research, known worldwide for discovering Antineoplastons, which act as molecular switches to turn off cancer cells without destroying normal cells.
Dr. Waltraut Fryda - Although it is commonly assumed that too much adrenaline (epinephrine) leads to cancer, she also finds that the reverse is true. People with cancer possess virtually no adrenaline in their cells. Instead, as Fryda has discovered, the cells of cancer victims are overloaded with insulin and too much sugar. (Much of her work has not been translated into English).
Dr Catherine Kousmine - She sought to understand what would cause a tumor to form and invade healthy cells, but not how to destroy a tumor. After many extensive studies on mice, she came to the conclusion that cancer is a need of the organism to ward off a toxic aggression (1). Briefly put, Kousmine believed a tumor, first benign, then malignant, is just a particular form of a defense mechanism of the body. A tumor is not a freak and isolated accident, but a coherent reaction to a state of alarm. Her method focuses on how she believes a cancer can be disengaged from its source and made useless.
Dr. Royal Rife - Frequency approach to illness.
