CANCERactive - the UK´s most comprehensive cancer information charity.
 When my daughter developed her grade 4 brain tumour, almost the first thing we read was a report in the doctors´ own magazine, the Lancet, which said that the drugs didn´t work. Nothing would help a young girl given 6 months to live. So we did our research - we set out to find cancer treatments, cancer causes, cancer information that could help her beat cancer. We quickly realised that the vast majority of UK cancer information only focussed on one area: traditional orthodox medicine. And left out out three important areas, all with the potential to help her:
1 Complementary cancer therapies - from exercise, to energy therapies, from vitamins to herbs.
2 Alternative cancer therapies - from Diet Therapies, to new treatments like HIFU and PDT, proving successful in other countries.
3 Cancer Prevention - others seem to unable to acknowledge the expert research available casting concern over Environmental Toxins, EMF´s and chemicals as possible causes and drivers of cancer.
We could not believe the volume of quality information available on these subjects. Clinical Trials and expert studies abound, yet many Professors and oncologists are ignorant of the facts.
And we realised that the way forward for cancer patients was to empower them, to provide ALL the information but simply in easy-to-understand English so they could make better, more informed choices. Cancer information not just on orthodox treatments but on complementary and alternative therapies, and causes that might be still there driving your cancer.
Next, we wanted to help people to pull the cancer information together to match their own personal needs and their own individual circumstances, So overtime we developed the idea of ´Personal Prescriptions, their own ´Integrative (or Integrated, or Holistic) cancer therapy packages, using the best of the best from all the above areas.
One UK source said that tackling cancer could increase your odds of survival by 60 per cent. Other American sources talked about individual exercise therapies increasing your cancer survival odds each by 50 per cent.
We don´t know about this, we just want to share our information with you, so you can make better, more informed choices and increase your personal odds of beating cancer.

3 We have no big corporations supporting us. Our Trustees and senior staff take no remuneration. We are truly independent and we have absolutely no vested interests - we just want people to avoid and beat cancer.
4 We help people with Personal Prescriptions - providing them with tailor-made accurate information for their personal state and their cancer.
5 We help people build integrated therapy packages - through our unique ACTIVE8 PROGRAMME.
6 We adopt the Precautionary Principle to cancer prevention: That where there is expert research expressing concern, we tell you. It is your right to know and thus take the decisions you personally deem appropriate.
7 We are the People?s Champion - we don?t write for Doctors, or the drugs companies, or the Government. If we have research showing mammograms are not quite what they are claimed, we will tell you.
8 We take our information out to people where it matters, for example by having icon in hospitals, by preparing cancer prevention programmes for schools, and by having Catherine Corners.
9 We embark on lecture tours, and through Natural Selection, we can bring people CD´s, a variety of books and the best, all natural supplements available in the world. The hard work has been done for you.
