Evidence-Based Integrative Oncology and Complementary Cancer Therapies
Helping cancer patients and survivors combine conventional oncology with evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle therapies, supplements, repurposed drugs, and survivorship strategies.
David Emerson is a long-term multiple myeloma survivor diagnosed in 1994. After four years of conventional surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and a stem cell transplant, his cancer relapsed. His oncologist told him that nothing more could be done for him. David set out to learn about alternative, complementary and integrative therapies to manage his cancer.
David launched The Galen Foundation DBA PeopleBeatingCancer, a 501C3 non-profit, in 2004 with a mission to support cancer patients and survivors with evidence-based complementary and integrative therapies. David researches and writes about cancer daily while answering cancer patients' and survivors' questions.
