The Cancer Control Society (and other nutritionally related diseases) [sic] is a crank organization promoting alternative medicine cancer woo and conspiracy theories. Despite its name, the organization seems to be more about making money than "controlling cancer", since most of the links on its website have to do with getting people to give them money in some way -- for example: It copiously links to DVDs they sell (only $395 each!) of the yearly conventions the CCS hosts -- DVDs which also include CAM propaganda and conspiracy theories such as the documentary "What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Cancer";[1][2] the site also has an page titled "Donate Your Car", with helpful instructions on how you can give the CCS your home or motor vehicle[3]; but even donating your car isn't enough, so there's a "Support The Cancer Control Society page "[4] which tells you what "gifts" you can get from giving the CCS money (or your car), such as supplements, propaganda movies, or the opportunity to participate in a "Quality of Life trial" (paying to participate in a trial... Sounds familiar...) There are also links to many movies describing how CAM and quacks like Stanislaw Burzynski are supposedly being unfairly supressed by the establishment.[5]

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.
