The latest treatments and strategies to help you make a full and lasting recovery.

Have you been diagnosed with cancer?

Despite what we’re told, research shows that for most patients, standard cancer treatments alone do not improve survival, but often result in short-term remission followed by a deadly recurrence.

This is mainly because conventional treatments are unable to kill Cancer Stem Cells . Many studies suggest that Cancer Stem Cells are the main cause of metastasis, which is responsible for 90% of cancer deaths. Ways of addressing Cancer Stem Cells are included below.

Recovery involves more than treating the cancer

Research also shows that addressing your physical, emotional, and spiritual health – not just the cancer itself – offers the best hope for a full recovery.

Dr Kelly Turner, PhD, who studied over 1000 cases of people who recovered from cancer against all odds, found 10 key factors that most of these people used to get better. Only three out of the ten are concerned with physical health.

All 10 factors are included on this site, along with many other proven treatments and strategies for overcoming cancer.
