OCF is strictly a science based nonprofit organization. Only tried and true methods are what is suggested to our members or allowed to remain on our online public forum. Theres a million and one things out that people will tell you about but in reality the item is almost always not beneficial in any way. Sometimes the suggested item is harmful and can hurt or even kill people. When people are told of a cancer diagnosis, too many claims come from everyone having a great "Aunt Mary" who's neighbor's daughter, mailman, etc did this or that and it worked for them. Usually its a different kind of cancer that is not treated at all like OC. These words of wisdom are very seldom giving the listener complete and correct info. Stories get mixed along with bogus cures and 3rd world country's "special" clinics. Too many scams are out there to try making profit from sick people. Thats absolutely disgusting to me!!! On OCF, we prefer to completely avoid these type of discussions. Unless something has been FDA approved and scientifically proven its best to not bring it up on our site. There are many, many websites devoted to "natural" and/or "secret" cancer curing things. Unless the website is monitored and carries the seal from Health on the Net, take their advice with a grain of salt!!! Here in the US, its not uncommon to see cancer curing products being advertised, even coming up on reputable websites. This is one of the reasons OCF does not accept advertising. OCF does NOT want to be associated with any of the sites who are promoting fake cures. Some FDA pending approval items are worded to make it appear as if they are approved and work after passing thru all government required regulations. This is discussed more in the OCF rules which every member agrees to (TWICE!) when becoming a member of our organization. On the bottom left of any page click on the small white "Forum Rules" to read more about our anti-scam policies.

As far as things to "prevent" recurrences go, if there was something like that available we all would know about it. If you want to check certain things to make sure they work or do what is promised Quackwatch.org is a great place to start. Check out an old post and its links that give you more in depth articles about consumers being advised to use caution with online websites making false claims.
