Cancer Control Society

{{altmed}}The '''Cancer Control Society (and other nutritionally related diseases)''' [''sic''] is an organization dedicated to spreading information about [[alternative medicine]] (about cancer, obviously) and [[conspiracy theories]]. Specifically, they host yearly conventions, organize bus tours to alternative cancer clinics, and publish a list of doctors practicing [[CAM]].<ref>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/forms/trip/bus_tours.html Cancer Control Society Tijuana, Mexico Bus Tour]</ref><ref>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/ccshistory.htm ccshISTORY.HTM]</ref>

Some factoids about the CCS:
*Its site copiously links to DVDs they sell (only $395 each!) of the yearly conventions the CCS hosts — DVDs which also include things like the documentary "What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Cancer".<ref name=eight>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/forms/order_forms/order4-dayeventdvds.htm CCS order form 2008]</ref><ref>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/films/cures.html CANCER, THE FORBIDDEN CURES]</ref>
*There's a "Support The Cancer Control Society page"<ref>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/support.html Directory of Doctors and Patients!] (Actually, it's "Support The Cancer Control Society"; they got the page title wrong.)</ref> which tells you what Gifts<ref>Not mere "gifts", but Gifts.</ref> you can get from giving the CCS hundreds or thousands of dollars (or your car), such as [[Herbal supplements|supplements]], CAM movies, credits toward cancer treatment at CAM clinics, or the opportunity to participate in a "Quality of Life Study". It also has (as already noted) an "I will donate my car, etc.…" option.
*There's also a special page (separate from the donation form) specifically titled "Donate Your Car" (linked from the homepage), with helpful instructions on how you can give the CCS your motor vehicle or home (yes, home).<ref>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/carpage.html The Cancer Control Society ^&mdash; cancercontrolsociety.com] (It should be "Donate Your Car". These guys are really bad at naming their pages.)</ref> Did we mention you can donate your car?

There are also links to many movies describing how [[Big Pharma|the medical establishment]] is supposedly unfairly suppressing [[CAM]] and its practitioners.<ref>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/films.html Directory of Doctors and Patients!] (Actually, it's a list of films. Seriously, who designed this site?)</ref>

There are also some rather predictable nutrition guidelines<ref>[http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/preventiondiet.htm cancer control society prevention diet]</ref> for preventing cancer, which promote, among other things, [[raw milk]], [[organic food]], "raw dairy butter" or [[coconut oil]], [[French paradox|organic red wine]], and [[chemophobia]]. Some of the guidelines are very similar to ones promulgated by the [[Weston A. Price Foundation]].<ref name=guidelines>[http://www.westonaprice.org/basics/dietary-guidelines Dietary Guidelines], Weston A. Price Foundation.</ref>
