The Cancer Cure Foundation states the following details on it’s website cancercure.org

The Cancer Cure Foundation was formed in December of 1976 as a non-profit organization dedicated to research and education in alternative cancer therapies. One of our main goals is provide individuals with information about the availability of treatments, doctors and clinics and to assist them in gathering the information they need to make the best decision for their particular situation. In March, 2002 we decided to expand our mission to include information on other conditions. Hence, we changed our name to The Cure Research Foundation.

The Cure Research Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of healing without drugs. We began in 1976 with a special focus on cancer, and our cancer division is the backbone of our current program. In March 2002, we decided to cover other health disorders as well. As funding permits, we will be offering counseling services for each of the following conditions: Aids, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, diabetes, heart and circulatory disorders, neurological disorders, and pathogen-related diseases. As soon as we have the funds, we will open divisions to provide information on each of these conditions.

For now only one division is fully functioning - The Cancer Cure Foundation.

If you’re in one of the following categories, The Cancer Cure Foundation may be able to assist you:

• You’ve just received a cancer diagnosis and want to know what your options are.
• You’ve chosen to do chemotherapy and/or radiation and want to use adjunctive tools (such as nutrition, diet, etc) to support your immune system during treatment.
• You have a history of cancer in your family and want to know how you can prevent yourself or other family members from developing cancer.
• You’ve been given a terminal diagnosis by a conventional doctor with no chance of recovery using conventional methods.

Here are some of the questions you may be asking that Cancer Cure Foundation can help you with:

• Can I combine conventional treatment methods with alternative methods?
• What doctors and clinics are available locally, regionally and nationally that might be appropriate for my situation.
• What types of treatments would a physician at an integrative/alternative clinic suggest for my situation?
• How reliable are the alternative treatments?
• What are the costs involved, and how much will my insurance company most likely cover?
• Can I speak with other individuals who have used alternative treatment methods for this type of cancer successfully?
• What books and web-sites are recommended for learning more about alternative therapies and clinics?
• What are the laws regarding the use of alternative medicine for cancer in my state?
