Cancer Cure Foundation



Founded in 1976 by the John Birch Society spokesman and antisemite G. Edward Griffin, the Cancer Cure Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity and website that 'provides an unbiased analysis of the major alternative-cancer clinics, treatments and therapies'. In practice, this means it's a clearinghouse for just about every quack cancer cure under the sun.

It is listed as a non-recommended information source by Quackwatch.

Outreach
The Cancer Cure Foundation sells or links to a wide variety of media, many having to do with laetrile, G. Edward Griffin's personal hobbyhorse.

They also link to seemingly every alternative website under the sun, including those run by Andrew Weil, Gary Null, and Matthias Rath.
