Expert information on complementary cancer therapies and alternative cancer treatments, not just orthodox cancer treatment.
CANCERactive is a very different charity. Our aim is to help you beat cancer by giving you ALL the latest information about cancer on complementary cancer therapies and new, and alternative cancer treatments, not just orthodox cancer treatment.
* In this section we cover all the cancers - from breast cancer to lung cancer.
* We cover all the cancer treatments - from orthodox cancer treatments like cancer drugs, radiotherapy and surgery to alternative cancer treatments like ozone therapy, Photodynamic Therapy and HiFU, and complementary cancer therapies like acupuncture and cancer nutrition. Wherever possible we cover the research evidence and Clinical Trials, as detailed in our regular feature Cancer Watch.
* Elsewhere on our site we have an extensive section on cancer causes - what still might be maintaining your cancer - in our unique cancer prevention section. We adopt The Precautionary Principle (that where there is expert evidence expressing concern, we will tell you so you can make your own mind up on how to prevent cancer).
* You can also read real stories, by real cancer patients who became cancer survivors on how they beat cancer in our Living Proof section.
* And we will tell you all about the very latest cancer news with cancer facts from research all around the world in our unique Cancer Watch research centre. (Want to receive the very latest, cancer news? Then sign up to receive our e Newsletter; enter your e mail address in the box on the left.)
* On this web site you can even find the UK cancer Support Group nearest to where you live.
Our aim, quite simply, is to provide you with Everything you need to know to help you beat cancer. We even have a best selling book by this title.
But we don´t stop there!
Integrative Cancer therapies in an holistic cancer programme - Building you the best possible cancer treatment programme
Our team includes scientifically-trained experts in both orthodox and complementary and alternative cancer medicine. Our aim is to help you build a really effective integrative cancer therapies package, selecting the best of the best. That´s why we have created the holistic cancer ACTIVE8 PROGRAMME (click here to go to it). It is clear to us that you need to be both thorough and disciplined to beat cancer. The ACTIVE8 PROGRAMME is unique to CANCERactive and allows you to increase your personal odds of beating cancer by ensuring you cover the things that really matter in your individual cancer beating programme.
Orthodox cancer treatments, complementary therapies and the very latest alternative cancer treatments. And the cancer facts are all here on this web site - in a unique, easy-to-read, easy-to-understand and use, magazine-style format. You can even have our quarterly magazine, icon, delivered to your UK address. It is essential reading.
We also check and recheck the science, the information and the clinical trials, ensuring you get the real facts in an objective, unbiased way with no vested interests clouding our coverage.
Our Mission - improving your personal odds of survival
This "mission" all started because my 22 year-old daughter was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given barely 6 months to live. We both had science degrees - I had even studied cancer research - so we went on a massive information hunt to find out just what might really be able to help her - the best of the orthodox, the best of the complementary therapies, the best of the alternative treatments. We needed hard cancer facts, cancer treatments supported by quality research. Catherine lived nearly 8 times longer than predicted - and this 2000 page site is part of her legacy; it is produced largely by unpaid volunteers who just want to help you, and thousands like you. In April 2008 alone we had 86,953 visitors from 96 countries all wanting trustworthy, truthful information they could use, in plain, user-friendly language.
The Truth is that there is so much information out there that can help you in your fight against cancer. Some US experts believe you can increase your odds of "survival" by as much as 50 - 60 per cent by building an Integrative Treatment Programme like our ACTIVE8 PROGRAMME (click here to access the page). This site will save you six months hard work, and help you do just that. You can even go to Cancer - your First 15 steps? to start your thinking process. OUR TIP? Aim to cover all the bases; be thorough and self-disciplined. There is so much you can do to help yourself.

The magazine on the web
Click "Your Cancer" above to go to your individual cancer where you will find an in-depth article covering everything from symptoms and diagnosis to orthodox and complementary treatment options; or click on "Prevention" to look at what factors might have caused your cancer - and what might still be maintaining it. We believe it is important to cut out anything that might still be harming your body, and boost your own immune system; it makes sense, doesn’t it?

The people´s champion
Over the last 5 years we have found out so much - and now we bring it to you, so you don´t have to waste your valuable time searching, especially when you are not feeling well. Now, the top hospitals in the USA and elsewhere send us the information, every month. We pass on the research, the evidence, the facts, that others acidentally - or by choice – leave out.
Over the last 6 years we have found out so, so much
We are a truly independent charity with no vested interests. You, your needs and your interests come first with us; not profits, or building a business, or any other hidden agenda.
But, this site costs us money. And, obviously, our objectivity means that the big corporations like the drugs companies and the vitamin vendors rarely want to sponsor us!
The fact is that we can only help people like you, if people like you help us!
So if you find it useful, please think about giving us a small donation, so that we can keep up the work of empowering patients to help them have the very, very best chance of beating this disease.
CANCERactive. Intelligent Information. Independent Voice.
