Doing the right thing, even when nobody’s looking.
A wake of scandals has shaken the world of cancer charities. According to the Federal Trade Commission and 58 law enforcement partners from every state, four organizations conned donors out of $187 million from 2008 through 2012. Two of those charities, the Breast Cancer Society and the Children’s Cancer Fund of America are being dissolved.(1)
Once again, I applaud the work quietly done by the CIRIS in France, and The Beljanski Foundation in the US, who continue the research initiated by Dr Mirko Beljanski, and get everything published — all that thanks to the work of a committed team and volunteers.
The scientific work that has resulted from the partnership sustained over the years between The Beljanski Foundation and several prestigious American research institutions has yielded numerous authoritative publications, opening the door to new options for cancer patients interested in a natural approach.(2)
This is the kind of charity I am not only comfortable with, but proud to support. To learn more, visit www. beljanski.org.
By the way, the French website has just been updated, and the US one, is a work in progress.
