The only free cancer-related information on the site seems to be some mostly useless nutrition guidelines[6] for preventing cancer, which promote, among other things, raw milk, organic food, "raw dairy butter" or coconut oil (because fat -- and especially saturated fat -- definitely prevents cancer), organic red wine, and chemophobia. In this respect, the CCSAONRD is quite similar to the Weston A. Price Foundation.
