Cancer Prevention

Welcome to CANCERactive, the UK´s number 1 web site for cancer prevention, and possible cancer causes.

First we need to explain our approach.............

The Precautionary Approach to Cancer Prevention

What are the causes of cancer? How can you best prevent cancer? Is it too late, now you have cancer, to cut out the causes and drivers? What of Environmental Toxins, like pesticides and chemicals? Or EMF´s and mobile phones? It can´t all be about Diet and Lifestyle, surely?

CANCERactive adopts the Precautionary Principle

Our definition of the Precautionary Principle is simple: Where there is quality, scientific information indicating possible concerns, or raising threats of increased risks to health, we provide that relevant information and adopt a precautionary stance, even though a full ‘cause-and-effect’ relationship may not yet be fully and scientifically understood or proven. We believe it is your right to know that expert concern exists.

It may surprise you to know that The World Health organisation states that up to 70 per cent of certain cancers are preventable!

We believe that intellegence and information on preventing cancer is vital to your efforts to beat cancer; not merely because knowing the cancer causes may help the adults and children of Britain to reduce their risk of ever developing this dreadful disease, but also because those people currently living with cancer need to have some idea what factors may have contributed to their cancer and indeed what might still, today. be maintaining it.

***************************************************************************

On the left you will find Start to prevent cancer under which there is an introduction on why we feel looking for a ´definitive cause´ for cancer is naive. You will also find a number of articles there on preventing cancer, which can be complemented by the section Quick start which features some easy´to´read quick guides and lists on the things you can do to prevent cancer.

Then you will find our Cancer Prevention Main Features - divided under three headings - the three ´D´s´ -
- Diet and Lifestyle
- Dangers (from Environmental toxins to EMF´s)
- Disease (from parasites to viruses to yeasts)

Another heading will take you to some free, dowloadable leaflets for your friends, schools and libraries.

Every little bit helps!!
