Research Without Animals
The “War on Cancer” dates from the Nixon administration, and though information regarding cancer in animals is an expanding volume, researchers have not yet won the war. In fact, deaths from cancer are higher than ever. One major reason we have not yet stemmed mortality from cancer is this: Animal cancer is not the same [...]
Tobacco industry and cancer
The tobacco industry fought for years to suppress the evidence that smoking causes cancer. They put their profits before public health and, as a result, are responsible for the sickness and deaths of millions of people. And now, the meat industry – when faced with accumulating evidence of serious human disease caused by their products [...]
Bright idea to break mould of new drug trials
They have genetically altered mould to make it glow when it comes in to contact with a wide range of poisons and pollutants. The point of the luminous mould is to help scientists devise safe new drugs while also providing an alternative to animal testing. Rather than exposing rabbits, mice and monkeys to suffering, the [...]
Didn’t penicillin come from animal experimentation?
Cancer has now overtaken heart disease as the number one killer in the UK. One major reason we have not yet stemmed mortality from cancer is this: animal cancer is not the same as human cancer. Cancer is not one disease. It is many. In humans, there are over 200 different forms of cancer afflicting [...]

Stopping cancer in its tracks
According to Dr. Robert Sharpe, ” . . . in our culture treating disease is enormously profitable, preventing it is not. In 1985 the U.S., Western Europe and Japanese market in cancer therapies was estimated at over 3.2 billion pounds with the ‘market’ showing a steady annual rise of 10 per cent over the past [...]
EU funded studies show organic food has higher nutritional quality
Three new European research projects have just revealed that organic tomatoes, peaches and processed apples all have higher nutritional quality than non-organic, supporting the results of research from America on kiwi fruit reported 26 March 2007. [1] Researchers found that organic tomatoes “contained more dry matter, total and reducing sugars, vitamin C, B-carotene and flavonoids [...]
More Peta Lies
Upon reviewing an array of studies discussing the link between diet and colon cancer, scientists from the Bremen Institute for Prevention, Research, and Social Medicine and the German Cancer Research Center stated in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that ‘the relationship between a vegetarian and fiber-rich diet and a decreased risk for colon cancer [...]
Waste in cancer research
So what, we are to believe that testing on animals whose cellular structure, physiology, immunology, nervous systems, etc., are radically different from humans is safer and more reliable than computer modeling and tests on cultured human cells? Come on–before you mock the logic behind someone else’s solution, you might want to take a harder look [...]

Canadian Cancer Research Group
The Canadian Cancer Research Group was founded in 1993. The Group was formed in response to the growing demand, amongst consumers for cancer treatment that combines and crosses traditional and non-traditional modalities. The purpose of the group is to provide support to cancer patients, oncologists, and hospitals throughout diagnosis, treatment and recovery. The support the [...]
Stop the Oxford University Animal Research Centre
Since there is no way to defend the use of animal model systems in plain English or with scientific facts, they resort to double-talk in technical jargon…The virtue of animal model systems to those in hot pursuit of the federal dollars is that they can be used to prove anything – no matter how foolish, [...]

ALTERNATIVES; AIDS; COLON CANCER
New Cell Technique in Colon Cancer – Researchers affiliated with the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, have developed a new method that may not only give clinicians an easier test for colon cancer, but may also provide a new avenue for cancer research. The researchers have managed to stabilize and isolate live human colon [...]
