The CONNIE THOMPSON FOUNDATION is established to increase the awareness of choices in cancer treatment and to pursue a new strategy of choices.  We are a non-profit organization promoting a balanced, integrative approach to the War on Cancer.  A major part of our efforts is to fund bona fide research supporting the integration of more effective and less debilitating treatment into conventional methods.  We are not selling anything, and you won't find pop-up ads here.  We are simply providing public information and the opportunity to contribute to promising new methods essential to victory over this horrible disease.  The Foundation is named in memory of Connie Thompson who became a casualty of this war in 2001.  Our efforts are in her honor. 

This year, 1.4 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer.  Of those, 560,000 (40%) will die of the disease.  Today, 3800 US citizens will hear the words, "You have cancer."  Today, across our nation, 1550 cancer victims will draw their last breath.  Just while you're reading this home page, two more of those will lose the fight.  These statistics have changed very little since 1971 when President Nixon declared war on cancer.  Conventional treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation have saved many lives although their administration is harsh and harmful to the body.  Historically, research and development of drugs and methods have focused almost exclusively on these traditional practices.  Sadly, in spite of notable progress, the survival rate for cancer victims has changed little in almost four decades.  We must change the paradigm of cancer treatment.  Fortunately, there is a new strategy being proposed by a few elite physicians and scientists.

Anti-angiogenesis, vaccines, nutrition supplements, accupuncture, chelation, nanoparticles, and hydrotherapy are just a few of the integrative treatments that have great potential for cancer patients, but are lacking in research and application.  The new strategy to move such methods into the mainstream of medical science is advocated by many medical doctors, educators, and scientists, but will require action from the grass roots level to implement.
