BEATCANCER.ORG PURPOSE & PHILOSOPHY

The Center was established to bridge the gap between the shortcomings of conventional cancer therapies and those of the non-conventional world. On the one hand, unorthodox cancer centers are generally so concerned with being holistic or anti-establishment that often proper diagnostic tools and careful medical supervision are ignored; on the other hand, orthodox cancer centers are so concerned with tumor reduction that host resistance and quality of life are often sacrificed in the process.
​
The philosophy that guides us is host-oriented rather than tumor-oriented. As the failure of radiation and chemotherapy to cure most cancers has become more apparent in recent years, dozens of alternative cancer therapies have commanded increasing attention. However, when tumor reduction remains the primary goal, the results with alternative therapies have been inconsistent and often not much better than with conventional treatments. The programs which have produced the most consistent results are those which recognize the body as a self-healing mechanism by giving it the essential tools for immunocompetence and self-repair.

​

The Center's goals are two-fold: Our short-term goal is to provide individualized resources and referrals to help patients make informed decisions, participate in the wellness process, and improve the quality and longevity of their lives. Our long-term goal is to change, through professional education, the paradigm of oncologic care from a monolithic approach focusing on tumor destruction to an integrative approach focusing on biological repair.
​
Center for Advancement in Cancer Education is an educational organization and not a treatment center. The information we provide is intended neither to medically prescribe nor to replace the attention of qualified health care advisors. We never tell patients they should or should not take a particular therapy, and we never interfere in doctor-patient relationships.

9 Ways to Prevent Skin Cancer 

Sun Safety - Ways to Prevent Skin Cancer

1. Reduce Sun Exposure

• Especially between 11 am and 4 pm, when the sun’s UV rays are the strongest or when UV index is 3 or more.

2. Shade your Skin

• Seek shade under trees, or create your own shade with a hat, shirt, or umbrella.

• Wear clothing to cover your arms and legs. Make sure the fabric has a tight weave. Fabric that is wet or has a loose weave will allow more light to penetrate through to the skin.

• Wear a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection.

3. Beware of clouds

• Up to 80% of the sun’s rays can penetrate light clouds, mist and fog. You can still get a sunburn on a cloudy day.

4. Remember about Reflection

• Water, sand, snow and concrete can reflect up to 80% of the sun’s damaging rays.

5. Slop on the Sunscreen

• Use sunscreens with an SPF of 15 or more that contain both UVA and UVB protection.

• Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours (more often when working, playing, or swimming).

6. Avoid tanning salons and sunlamps

• These lights emit mostly UVA radiation – up to 2 – 5 times as much as natural sunlight. UVA radiation causes sunburn, premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. 

• The UVB radiation from tanning lights is the main cause of sunburn and skin cancer and also contributes to premature skin aging. 

7. Protect Children

• The most harmful effects of sun exposure occur during early childhood. Keep babies under 1 year out of direct sunlight. Once infants turn 6 months of age, begin using a sunscreen for added protection. It’s important to protect your child’s eyes by using plastic lens sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB rays.

• Children should have arms and legs covered when out in the sun. 

• Instead of wearing baseball caps, they should wear hats with a wide brim, which provides more sun protection. 

• When children are playing in the water, make sure to use waterproof sunscreen.

8. Protect your Eyes

• Radiation from the sun can damage cells in the structures of your eyes. UV radiation from the sun may increase the risk of developing cataracts later in life. UV radiation can also contribute to the development of skin cancer on the eyelid or on the surface of the eye. This damage can be prevented by protecting your eyes with sunglasses that protect against 100% UVA and UVB rays. Wearing a hat with a wide brim all the way around when out in the sun. Legionnaire style caps (caps with a flap a back flap) are also recommended to help protect the neck, ears and face.

9. Spot Check Your Moles

Examine your moles and freckles every month to check for any changes. See your health care provider immediately if you notice: 

• a mole or discoloration that appears suddenly or begins to change 

• a sore that does not heal 

• areas of skin that are red and bumpy, bleed or are itchy

U.S. Tops the World in Health Care Spending

A report published in the July/August 2005 issue of the journal Health Affairs revealed that Americans spend more on health care than any other country, with expenditures that are 140 percent above the $2,193 per capita spending of the median industrialized country.

Utilizing data provided by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, researchers at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health reviewed health care spending in 30 countries during the year 2002. They found that U.S. citizens spent an average of $5,267 per capita on health care, which is 53 percent higher than Switzerland, a country that had the second highest per capita health care expenditure of $3,446. (Full article link below)

Gluten & Cancer Connection (Free Class)

Does cancer run in your family or perhaps you’ve already been diagnosed?

Are you aware of the connection between gluten & cancer?

What preventative measures can you take that can make a big difference?

Join Jennifer as she interviews Susan Silberstein, PhD, founder of BeatCancer.org about the direct issues that diet plays in developing cancer.  Susan is a wealth of knowledge about how powerful dietary and lifestyle steps can change the course of potential cancer diagnosis (because it “runs in your family”) or successfully reaching a point of remission.  Her work is directly linked to diet and the key role that gluten consumption plays in the process.

If you’re concerned about your own future because ‘cancer runs in the family’ or you’re hoping to help someone currently fighting the battle, don’t miss out on this incredibly powerful interview.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 16, 2013 - NY, NJ, PA -- BeatCancer.Org in conjunction with CILA, llc Management are excited to announce the BeatCancer 35 Live Anniversary Gala.  This black tie event will take place on Saturday Sept 21, 2013, at World Live Café, to celebrate the charity’s 35 years of commitment to preventing and fighting cancer.  BeatCancer.org is a not for profit 501 (3) charitable information, counseling and referral agency established in 1977 and based on the Main Line of Philadelphia in Wynnewood, PA.

The mission of BeatCancer.org is to provide research-based education on how to prevent, cope with and beat cancer through diet, lifestyle and other immune boosting approaches.  BeatCancer’s programs are patient focused, and the organization raises funds for education, not research.  Rather than searching for the cure, BeatCancer.Org believes prevention is the cure. The organization promotes what we all have control over: wellness, lifestyle, and education.

The BeatCancer 35 Live Anniversary Gala will be a formal event, with food, auction items, and live performances by CILA Artists.  The CILA Artists that will be performing are: The Trapps, Bobby Syvarth, Minnie Dee, Brandon Maddox, and Hunter Monroe.      

“The CILA Artists are committed to putting on a wonderful show for an incredible organization.   Many of them have been touched by cancer in some way, and are committed to making a difference” says Gil Coronado of CILA llc Management.  “We are honored to join BeatCancer.Org on this special evening.”

According to BeatCancer.Org Founder and President, Susan Silberstein, PhD, “When I started this organization back in 1977, my goal was to spare at least one family the pain that mine had to endure.  Now, 35 years later, that pain has been replaced with joy as we celebrate the help and hope that BeatCancer.Org has given to 30,000 cancer patients and their families! It has been a true privilege to serve!”
