Howdy NS!

My friends and I decided to participate in a Ride to Conquer Cancer this coming June and I come to you today to ask for your help.

I've got 205 days to raise $3000, all of which will be going towards skin cancer research at one of Canada's leading cancer research institutes. So help me out by donating to either myself or my team! Any support (seriously, even if you only donate $3 I'll be super stoked) is greatly appreciated!

Score some real life karma and donate to me here

Thanks for your time and help!

Dope, you should ride around on your bike handing out pamphlets. Feel the commitment will rub off on people.

You should raise money, then cancel the bike trip. Because that costs unnecessary money that could be given to cancer.

well there are already many natural remedies and cures for skin cancer that mainstream institutes like that purposely suppress. at least you will get good exercise though so have a good time.

Dude could be a total quack but it's interesting none the less. I thought I was linking the doc. Thought his clinic wasn't even in business these days.

No he's not. This guy made brain tumors in children literally vanish. Gone. The mainstream institutes disparage real doctors like him. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

There are many more doctors just like him who have been persecuted by these institutes for LITERALLY CURING PEOPLE'S CANCER.

Oh believe me I think he's legit form what I've seen. HAven't seen anything to show me other wise and that's why I was posting. Just saying at the very least its interesting.

Even the FDA didn't actually challenge that his methods were working they were challenging something else to put him out of business.

Then one of the big pharmy companies went and took one of his old researchers and tried to get the patents on the research but they didn't have all the steps right or something.


There's a fuck ton of money in cancer. There's a fuck ton of money in general with big phama in general. They don't really want people getting cured without drugs that they will profit from. If somebody else invents something, that's a problem.


And honestly if I ever run into that battle I'm going to go find this dude.


I'm always open to finding out it's not legit and all that, but there really doesn't seem to be much against him other than people with interests trying to shut him down.

To me he seems like the fucking man. That's why I'll keep posting that link in threads about "conquering cancer"

it goes from the Xhibition Place Toronto to Niagara Falls (right by the falls). but it routes up the escarpment so its pretty hilly. its a 2 day race and the midway stop was at Mohawk College (Hamilton) last year.
But there are a variety of route options for people who dont want such a difficult ride.

Thanks for posting this. My 14 year old cousin had a brain tumour over the last year but has got rid of it for the time being. I will save this link incase it comes back, and alternatives are needed. Hopefully he will be able to treat English patients but I suspect the cost for treatment will be high
