Center for Advancement in Cancer Education

The commitment and experience in helping individuals with cancer, and their loved ones, to discover holistic strategies to beat cancer and improve their odds of creating a positive outcome are extraordinary. Proud to participate in this process as a certified holistic cancer coach. Their training is excellent and professional. Theyre doing much needed work to find answers to heal this dreaded disease.

A close friend of mine was diagnosed with prostate cancer over 6 years ago & was given about 6 months to live by his medical professional. Of course they wanted to start with chemo & radiation right away along with a plethora of meds but my friend refused. While he appreciated their years of medical training, he wanted an alternative & found Center for Advancement in Cancer Education. He spent time with Dr. Randy Shane discussing alternatives & food choices ect. Right now, almost 7 years later my friend is still here. I was so intrigued by this that I asked if I could speak with Dr. Shane. I wasn't feeling good at 50 years old & my blood work was off. My husband who is 54 had really bad numbers as well & we were concerned because his father passed at the age of 62 from heart disease. Dr. Shane took the time to speak with me & go over my issues & diet in such detail. I took so many notes & followed up with more research & became obsessed with my health & her knowledge. Long & short of this is that my husband & I switched our diets completely & now have had outstanding blood work & feel 100 xs better ever since. My husband's Doctor asked him what he was doing because he could never get the same results for his patients with medications. We are so impressed with The Center for Advancement, especially Dr. Shane. Since then I have been teaching others about changing their diet & becoming healthier at 50 then they ever were. I just can say enough about Dr. Shane's knowledge & her generosity. We are blessed to have found this facility & have referred many of our friends who are suffering with cancer.

Dr. Susan Silberstein and her Center was my life line soon after I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2004. Wanting others to experience the knowledge offered by the Center and its resources, I joined one of her first coaching classes. I have since been fortunate enough to share and educate women nationwide either before, as a preventative measure, during and after diagnosis. I have been able to pay it forward as I was able to be there for my 3 children, who through my experience, are now adults in service to others.
We have 'survolved'....survived and evolved, always in Gratitude.

In January 2013 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer (spread from uterus lining, and a bit into my liver). With coaching from the folks at BeatCancer, I totally changed 15 areas of my lifestyle and within 3 months, the cancer was undetectable. I am writing nearly 7 healthy years later. Areas: 1. Decide to live, 2. Surround self with positivity, 3. Meditate, 4. Move, 5. Focus on whole foods. Omit dairy, animal, processed, sweetened food, 6. Supplement as needed, 7. Drink 'clean' water, half weight in ounces, daily, 8. Get 7-8 restful sleep, 9. Live in gratitude, 10. Know your body has the innate purpose and power to heal itself, given a chance. Consider that cancer is not the enemy, but the body’s built-in defense system to save you from dying of acidosis (too much acid), 11. Cleanse internal body daily with lemon juice, periodically with method of your choice, i.e. herbs, colonics, 12. Generate negative ions to counter free radicals (acupuncture, massage, Biomat, moving water), 13. Laugh, have fun, listen to music, do something creative, hang out with friends, and enjoy life. 14. Accept that you are connected to the All-Powerful Source of Energy and Love known to many as God. Have faith all is well. Ask for your desires, be open to receive. Live in the moment; don’t regret your past or fear your future, 15. Get 20 minutes of daily sunshine for Vitamin D.

In sum: Toss out that ‘di-et’; begin your ‘live-it’ with organic, alkaline vegetables, green juices and smoothies, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, coconut or almond milk, and plant-based protein powder.Add fresh lemon or lime to help alkalize food and water. I recommend getting a Spectracell blood test to check your body’s nutrient levels… If needed, supplement with antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and probiotics...it’s well worth it.

To your health, the natural way.

I was given their booklets on foods that fight cancer and it was very helpful. They are now my short cut goto guideline regarding how to shop and eat and change my diet to help my body prevent a cancer recurrence. This simple information was never made available to me by any hospital. And certainly not even my nutritionist at Dana Farber. It is a mystery as to why these medical facilities fail to help their patients by educating them about how certain foods are known to fight cancers down to the sub type of cancer as highlighted in the booklets. I have since referred this web site to many friends who are newly diagnosed and fighting cancer. The bottom line: We should all be aware of these food as an ounce of prevention could save a life.

I was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I knew I was likely to be prescribed chemo or radiation which scared the hell out of me. So, upon a friends advice, I went to Beatcancer to see what they might suggest.
The counselor I was assigned to spent a good deal of time questioning me and came up with a plan. She completely changed my diet and even much of my lifestyle. Some of the changes were somewhat difficult to adjust to but I stuck with it. At the same time, I was under the care of top cancer doctors at Penn Medicine. Fortunately, After I pleaded my case, they agreed to schedule appointments to monitor my progress with BeatCancer and delayed any other treatment.
As it turned out, every visit to the doctors (each included a blood test) showed that the cancer was leaving my body. After a few years of monitoring, the tests showed I was cancer free.
My choice was change my lifestyle or live with drugs the rest of my life. Sometimes the choices were not easy but I am actively leading a healthy life and I am not in remission - I am cancer free.

I found Beatcancer.org after praying to find the right information. After a very scary doctor visit I desperately needed counseling about a procedure that I did not feel right about. I prayed and prayed to find the right counselor to help me. By divine guidance I found Beatcancer.org and with that organization I met Dr. Randi Shayne. Dr. Randi took me from feeling very vulnerable, scared, and boarding on despair to having a plan in that first session. She gave me a referral to an Epigenetic doctor--- just what I was looking for. Dr. Randi coached me on diet and life style changes. I lost a boat load of weight, I feel 10 years younger, and have never been healthier. I am now taking the second tier Beatcancer.org course for educators and speakers and I have learned so much about cancer prevention through nutrition and life style. Beatcancer.org did for me the impossible: it helped me with a real prevention plan, that focused on repairing my body and not on the symptoms, and they raise money to educate -with the ton of information already known. So that a person like me looking at all the different treatment options and all the different diets ---can be guided through and choose what is in my highest good. Beatcancer.org saved my life and gave me emotional strength. Skills that I will use for the rest of my life. Thank you Beatcancer.org and thank you Dr. Randi!

I so appreciate the efforts of Beat Cancer.org in educating people in all walks of life about the options after a cancer diagnosis, and I'm also very impressed with the emphasis placed on nutrition as a preventative or to strengthen the body for healing during and after treatment. Love the cookbooks.

I was found with thyroid cancer in 2014 and was recommended to get my thyroid taken out. Since the node was very small and I prefer to use natural alternative methods I contacted Beat Cancer.org for counseling. A diet plan and the support given me has carried me in the right direction. I have added Juicing and a weekly coffee enema to assist me along with taking Juice Plus capsules and some supplements.The process of learning continues, but the Beat Cancer phone counseling support is valuable to me.

BeatCaner.org has helped me with my food choices and put me on the path to better health. Eating a plant based diet and whole food.

This organization helps so many people and allows those with cancer and their relatives to decide which treatment they want to use for a cure. Susan is a powerful speaker and has advocated prevention way before early detection with healthy lifestyle choices. If I ever get cancer, I would definitely contact BeatCancer.org!

Dr. Linda B. Greer

you will never find a more compassionate ,helpful, caring , and cancer proficient team of professionals. The Beat Cancer team is wonderful , they helped my family and I through some tough times when both my sister and dad got cancers at the same time.
I am a family Practitioner , but I really appreciated the help and guidance from the team .
Dr Silberstein and staff are wonderful ,helpful always going the extra mile to get you the resources you need to educate self , family and care providers .
If that wasn't enough there are so many opportunities to educate self on th ewebsite resources and books videos ,all reasonable prices and the courses given .
The telephone consult service is great and helps the actual patient with care and educational consults and there is an opportunity to pay it forward and donate so others can get the access to help too.
I just can't say enough of our gratitude to you all. May God Bless you with good health ,patience and to continue this service always .Thank you

Dr .Fahmy

I have known about this organization for 15 years. They are passionate and tireless in their work and desire to help others. I have heard Dr. Susan Silberstein speak several times and it is always informative, captivating, eye opening, practical, scientific, life saving information.

The knowledge given by our centre of cancer education is beneficial to patients,doesn't make things easy,it makes them possible.

I found BeatCancer.org after I was diagnosed with Breast cancer and felt like I wasn't being given All the information I needed to make an informed decision. Its a fantastic source of information and gave me much confidence when speaking with doctors and it helped me to make informed decisions about my treatment.

A few years ago, I had a cancer scare and consulted by phone with Dr. Susan Silberstein. The time she spent speaking to me and advice was greatly appreciated. CACE offers a valuable service for individuals who don't wish to follow the traditional treatment route, and their focus on prevention and education is refreshing. Also, I have attended a couple of their educational events, which are reasonably priced. I wish they were a little closer to me now, but I still appreciate their work.

If you or a loved one have cancer, this is the one connection you should definitely make. It is the only place where you can get one-on-one counseling for free. When so many sites take advantage of people in their desperation, this is the only place that doesn't. I can't say enough good things about this organization. And not only is it free, but it deals with supporting your body and your immune system through lifestyle changes and natural means, because if your immune system doesn't survive, neither will you. This gets to the cause, rather than putting a band-aid on. There's no pressure to use or not use conventional treatment, but you get the advice you need regardless of how you are treating your cancer.

CACE helped me and continues to help me by providing the latest educational information to keep me cancer free!

I heard Dr. Susan Silberstein speak and was moved and awed by her dedication to beating cancer. Having had breast cancer, I have taken her prevention methods to heart; I no longer fear the word cancer because I am constantly educating myself from her website and the links she provides. I have recommended her site to many people who have that diagnosis and to those who want to prevent it.

I have been volunteering for them for over 3 years now. I have been doing data entry and other things as well. It is fun to be there and you get to know them. My hours there are flexible. Great place to volunteer as i found them on www.volunteermatch.com

I found Dr. Silberstein's Cancer Coaching Course online. I am a cancer survivor and want to help others through the process.

Susan's dedication to cancer education for over 30 years is remarkable. While many organizations claim to be patient-oriented, this organization is. Coaching services are free of charge if the patient cant pay. Otherwise, it is on a donation basis.

The quality of the education and resources is very high, and geared towards patients - not doctors or health professionals. The organization not only educates patients, but empowers them!

I am very proud to be a Certified Cancer Coach and be associated with the Center for Advancement of Cancer Education.

When our youngest daughter was diagnosed with leukemia at age 4 I didn't know where to turn. We already ate organically and were focusing on a healthy lifestyle, but the toxic treatment of cancer left me reeling as a seemingly helpless mother of four with one very ill daughter. The center was an amazing resource and support as I had weekly nutritional counseling sessions to help our daughter improve her immune system during treatments. After two and a half years of treatment the center then helped connect me with a homeopath familiar with healing after chemotherapy. This center is one of a kind and they touched our lives at a very difficult time. You can see Maggie's end of chemo video on vimeo.com by searching "Congrats Maggie". The Modern Family guys are on the front. Inspirational!

I ran across Beatcancer.org while doing a google search. I was looking for a way to help one of my clients that was helping their grandchild go through cancer treatment. Even though I am an owner of Simply Healthy and Nurses Online Academy. I wasn't educationally qualified to give my client the information she needed on cancer care. So there I was, looking for information. I was so excited when I started looking over all that they had to offer. Even a "holistic cancer coaching certification"....which you guessed it...I quickly took and completed. What better way to be able to educate my client. I am forever thankful that I found such an upstanding non-profit and will always be supportive. They keep it personal and I like the feel of that. I can only imagine how it would feel to have them help me if I came to them because I had cancer. Dr. Susan Silberstein is an outstanding individual. She takes "caring" seriously. Her staff is amazing to work with. I can't say enough. ~ Sandra Bullard

As a cancer VICTOR/SURVIVOR for over 45 years I am so grateful that this organisation exists for all cancer patients and families to learn that cancer is a survivable disease and not a death sentence filling patients with fear. It is through information, education and increased knowledge and loving support we learn to trust that we can take charge of our own health and lives. see mystory on their website blog. Cisela Wildes, 79 yrs

A while back I worked for several years at the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education, as a volunteer and then on staff, offering counseling and psychological services. I was always impressed with the sensitivity, knowledge and care for patients. I was especially impressed with the many circumstances in which I observed meaningful improvement in patient health, often despite negative prognoses of the attending physicians.

I learned about BeatCancer.org while attending a conference on preventative health care. I found the people to be extremely attentive, passionate and helpful. Their educational materials and research are thorough. I'm grateful to have these resources to share with my own clients. I am also committed to following preventative care rather than the traditional American sick care system. Thank you BeatCancer.org for giving us choices.

Beatcancer.org was my lifeline in 2010 when I found a 'lump' in my breast, and now cancer was up close and personal. I already knew the path I wasn't taking after watching my sister endure chemo/mastectomy, and another young friend pass from her leukemia treatments. I met Dr Silberstein at her booth at my first Juice Plus conference, 1 month after my discovery, and starting my holistic healing journey. I was assigned to Dr Randy, who helped me have the faith needed to stay the course with God's healing of plants, exercise, sunshine, water, attitude of gratitude, etc. I support beatcancer.org wholeheardedly, as they are making a difference directly with those seeking answers, whether they chose the allopathic/chemo route or completely holistic. I recommend them in my speaking engagements as a health advocate and 6 year cancer overcomer! NO chemo, radiation, surgery. They are my hero's !

I really loved the holistic cancer education course that I did , it was far better than expected and I think they are making an excellent work to educate in natural aproach and non toxic treatments the Cancer

I am a cancer healing coach and I turn to this organization and particularly to Susan for great up-to-date information, research, articles, helpful publications and uplifting stories to help me serve my clients better.

I really appreciate the work that this organization does and I can't say enough in terms of how needed it is in our communities today with cancer rates still on the rise.

As a healthy living coach, I am all about educating people about the toxins in our food supply and toiletries, and the powerful healing benefits of whole food to prevent and cure disease. I've heard Dr. Silberstein speak several times and she's even personally returned a call and given me a half hour of her time to discuss the issue of soy and breast cancer. She is so passionate about helping other people avoid what she went through in losing her husband at such a young age to cancer. I respect and admire that she has turned her personal pain into a lifelong quest to help as many people as she can to prevent, treat and heal the effects of cancer.

I was diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer in May 2014. I went thru chemo, bilateral mastectomy and radiation for my treatment. As of today, I have no cancer in my body. When I got thru all of the treatment, I knew that I needed to do my part to ensure that cancer doesn't come back. I knew that my diet would have to change and that exercise needed to be a part of my everyday life. I got 30lbs. off of my body and adopted a good plant based diet and low fat meats. But knowing that our food sources/supplies are riddled with pesticides and so many hidden dangers left me hungry for more knowledge about what I was putting into my body. I was invited to a conference called, Killing Cancer With Your Fork by Dr. Silberstein. I was stunned by the knowledge and all of the resources that Beat Cancer.org supplied. I thank them for all they do!

When I was diagnosed with an aggressive, invasive breast cancer I heard Dr. Susan Silberstein speak about the nutritional power of plant foods to help my body fight back alongside the oncology protocol that I was being given. I did not know the effect that changing my diet would have, but I knew that eating a lot more vegetables was the one thing that I could contribute to this fight. My initial prognosis was 2 years and that was 17 years ago. I continue to eat a strongly plant-based diet and as a nutritionist, I teach my patients to do the same.

This organization consistently provides the public with constructive ideas in the prevention of and treatment for disease through its insistence on natural remedies. I truly believe that all the "medicines" needed by most of us most of the time are found in the produce and fish aisles of neighborhood supermarkets.

Dr. Susan has come halfway across the country to give a talk on a cancer prevention diet for our Juice Plus team in Nebraska. Her information is powerful and gives people the tools they need to help themselves heal naturally, information not typically given by regular doctors. Thanks to this organization, we are even more inspired to help people get more whole foods in their diet and transform their health!

We have known Susan for years and could not find a more dedicated individual to tirelessly share her story and her mission. She has and continues to help thousands showing the way to a cancer free life and supporting those who have contracted this awful disease. We are humbled to be an advocate, provide forums for her to speak, and to contribute to her cause.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012.Upon completion of chemotherapy my first catscan showed that I had a malignant nodule on my thyroid.I frequently went to the Cancer Support Community in my local area and heard Dr Silberstein give a great lecture.She recommended Randi , the naturopath from beatcancer.org to help me stay healthy.Randi was amazing.I work for a weight loss company and I learned so much from this woman about healthy eating/lifestyle which has does wonders for my health and my job.The best part? Free .... they just ask for any donation so they have the funds to help others! Beatcancer.org is a wonderful organization!

Beat Cancer.org has been so amazing in my life. I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in 2010. I was devastated, so afraid and unsure if I would be able to make it. My company laid me off during the Spring of 2011 , my unemployment ended in 2012 and my life became a nightmare. In order to get the proper treatment that I needed, I had to travel about 300 miles roundtrip to get to the hospital. I found Beat Cancer.org on the internet and I reached out for help. The difference that they make in your life can't not be expressed enough. I was given hope, information and assistance that made my battle easier to fight. They took away some of the fear. I am thankful for the support and love it has given me. BeatCancer.org did not let me take this journey alone. I am so thankful for this. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Thank you for your assistance into many people lives like mine. Be Blessed!!

BeatCancer.org has been such a wonderful service to the cancer community providing information and education
that is scientifically based to help cancer patients cope or beat their disease. My teenage son was diagnosed with
Melanoma in 2000. I stayed current with advancements in cancer care, and I recently completed the
Holistic Cancer Support Educator class certification. Dr. Susan SIlberstein is one of the most compassionate and informed leader in this industry. Thank You. Janet Price

I am a massage therapist and yoga instructor, and I have attended educational lectures by Dr. Silberstein. Her material has been very helpful to me to pass along education to my clients and students. Many lives have been improved, maybe even saved, by learning about better health through nutrition. Thank you!

I have found their little education booklets on cancer and what healthy food looks like so helpful with the people I am a health coach for. The several times I have contacted them, their response time to questions is impressive for a non-profit organization

Beat Cancer has saved my life and thousands of others. Whenever I find out that a relative, friend or acquaintance has cancer, I do my best to get them in touch with the organization. Knowing too few will even give it a try and seeing all of the suffering and death simply out of fear, unwillingness and lack of knowledge - this is my greatest sadness.

Although not a cancer patient myself I have certainly provided guidance for people who have dealt with cancer, including those who are part of a healing team. CACE provides guidance through education, and everything they have shared has been in line with what I have learned over the years. I can easily refer people to CACE without any concern that I will need to modify their suggestions.

I was searching to find a homeopath doctor to guide on how to use nutrition as medicine to prevent recurrence from cancer. It was starting to feel like a cost prohibitive endeavor- until I found Beat Cancer. The knowledge I gained from speaking with a homeopathic doctor each week empowered me to take steps to change my diet to become healthier. Now I can navigate my way through books and articles with confidence as well. Thank you!

I was lucky enough to receive personal training from Dr. Silberstein in 2011. It really helped to make sense of all the information and misinformation about cancer causes and treatments. I am able to give my clients much more individualized therapy sessions using the CACE model, and seeing very good results in terms of better quality of life. I recommend CACE to everyone I meet who is dealing with cancer, and I'm proud to say I'm a certified educator with CACE.

CACE was an incredible help to me and my family when my father was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. The consultations they provided via one of their in-house experts on a regular basis had an incredible impact on my father's health thru his chemotherapy - and the guidance she provided to us on the impact of making immediate changes to his diet and the power of nutrition in fighting cancer was something we could not have found on our own. This was the worst experience of our lives and the help of the CACE team - primarily thru the one individual who counseled us throughout our fight - not only helped my father immeasurably but gave us all tremendous knowledge that we now pass out to others who must fight cancer themselves or with loved ones. We owe the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education a debt that we can not repay.

Dr. Susan and her team helped my sister-in-law beat stage 4 cancer, and not afterwards I was diagnosed with colo-rectal cancer. I chose to use both traditional medical treatment (radiation, chemo, and surgery) and alternative methods (nutrition, etc) and found Dr. Susan's information and guides to be very important in planning my attack on cancer. They were most generous of time and talent.

I was a volunteer for about 2 years and loved every moment spent with Dr. Susan. I learned so much about cancer research and now have two of Dr. Susan's cookbooks and love using all of them. I enjoyed all of my assignments such as postings of contributions, filing, data entry, mass mailings, inventory checks and helping Dr. Susan pack for her lictures. It was a wonderful pleasure to volunteer as well as an honor for such a wonderful organization.

I don't have cancer, but I know a lot about it. That's what happens when someone you love, like my soul mate, gets cancer. It's a road you don't want to go down, but it is definitely one you don't want to travel without knowledge. BeatCancer.org and its Center for Advancement in Cancer Education is the first place I would turn if cancer ever inserts itself into my life again. Perhaps, I could have extended the life of my loved one with all the answers and compassion I would have found here that I didn't find elsewhere.

Research has not been the answer to cancer. Raising billions of dollars to keep organizations going does not cure cancer. If it did, it would have already happened. Education and prevention is the cure for cancer. This organization is the ONLY one I would contribute money to for the prevention of cancer.

Thank you for being there on the tough road when patients and caregivers need you. I hope to enroll in your Holistic Cancer Coaching program in the near future. That is the best and most heartfelt initiative I have ever seen in the fight against cancer. Ironically, without knowing about this organization and its mission, it is what I concluded was the number one thing missing from cancer patient care when I went through it personally with my soul mate. I wrote the following in my 2011 award-winning book titled "A Dose of Reality...Losing William to the Big Business of Cancer in America---"In the best of all worlds, it would be wonderful to be able to enlist the services of a knowledgeable, independent, and open-minded group of collaborative patient advocates for hire during such a stressful time."

It takes the pain of loss to be so forward thinking. Dr. Susan Silberstein has been there. So have I. She is now a light for others, as I hope to be with my book and as a coach on her team.

I am a nutrition professional who works specifically with clients who are battling chronic disease including cancer. BeatCancer.org provides valuable information about using nutrition to prevent as well as treat cancer. The organization also provides a certification process which is essential in establishing credibility with current and future clients.

Even the bravest and most well-informed among us tremble when we hear "Diagnosis: Cancer." Although vast amounts of information about various treatments for various forms of cancer are available, much of it is unintelligible to even the smartest laypersons. BeatCancer.org professionals have provided our family with sound personalized counseling for two family members with different forms of cancer, and by doing so have given us a helpful information and a balanced perspective for making difficult decisions.

I have referred my craniosacral patients as well as family and friends family to Dr. Silberstein and CACE, and they invariably say how helpful and empowering their advice has been. CACE's ability to meet people where they are at and work in conjunction with other healthcare providers is invaluable. If my mom had been more open to what CACE offers, she might have avoided several of the diseases she suffered from, and her quality of life could have been much better, so I feel a moral obligation to share CACE's mission with others.

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2013. I felt I was in the twilight zone with so many emotions. I needed to make a decision and quickly. My sister referred me to Dr. Silberstein with Beat Cancer.Org. I spoke with Susan on several occasions and she was able to explain to me about my tests, typical protocol etc. I felt calmed after speaking with her and was able to make my decisions clearly and also knew what questions I needed to ask my doctor. The information I received regarding my lifestyle, proper nutrition were invaluable to me. I am so Thankful I spoke with her before I started my journey!

I have many clients who get diagnosed with cancer and I always tell them to check out BeatCancer.org and Susan Silberstein. The center has helped so many people over the years with honest and truthful information. Susan is wonderful and knows her stuff. She is so passionate about her mission and spreading the word about cancer prevention. I have seen her at so many conference spreading the word through all the center's education materials. This is one of the best non-profits out there.

I am a big supporter of this wonderful passionate organization. Dr. Silberstein is an amazing person to devote her life to helping others. She is very powerful in her knowledge and I'm truly touched that she touches so many people's lives helping them without expecting anything in return. That is unbelievable in our world today and I'm blessed to have met the people in my life that made me aware of this company. I've shared this company with many people that I know going through or having family/friends going through health challenges. I wish everyone could see her speak and just take one suggestion from her to start the change in creating a healthier life. Her words, Prevention is the Cure, had impacted my life and the way our family lives!

I have heard Dr. Silberstein speak on several occasions and I always learn something new that can help me and my business. I have watched over and over again people who have been touched by Cancer see there is hope and options too. I have personally lost people I love to this terrible disease too. And I know the option they were given were not the best options. Thank you for educating and giving us options and hope too.

In the last 28 years i have served on over 15 boards. Most of the boards were daibetes related.
The board that stood out the most for me was Center for Advancement in Cancer Education or as we know it today www.BeatCancer.Org.
Cancer has touched my family in a big way in the last 2 decades.
It took both of my parents, my father in law and many others near and dear to my heart!
My involvement in the organization is very personal for me.
First of all in memory of the loved ones I lost.
But more importantly for the family and friends that may be touched by this disease.
If a family member or friend was touched by Cancer i would like their first stop to be at beat cancer.
Susan Silberstein and her staff in my eyes are gifts from GOD!!!!
I will not stop helping Beat Cancer spread their word until we BEAT CANCER!!!!
Susan, keep up your great and amazing work.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

AS A CAREGIVER, I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE THIS REFERRAL..I FOUND EXCELLANT INFORMATION..EXCELLANT STAFF SUPPORT. DR. SILVERSTEINS BOOK AND CD ARE A MUST IN EVERYONE'S LIBRARY! NOT ONLY FOR CANCER TREATMENT BUT ALSO FOR PREVENTION. JANE, ERIE, PA.

I have been a supporter of CACE and a fan of Dr.Silbersteins for many years but never expected that I would ever need their services until may of this year when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I was shocked and confused. Surgery needed to be done quickly because of a blockage and chemotherapy started 4 weeks later. I felt like I was being rushed into everything with no time to think or make any decisions about the treatment. I turned to CACE to help me sort it all out and am presently a client learning so much. I am now a student of juicing and learning to love drinking my green veggies which helps so much with the side effects of the chemotherapy. I am relearning how to eat and deal with the diagnosis. I am so greatful to have someone to talk to who is helping me put my life back in order to embrace life and not to dwell in the negative.

Dr. Silberstein and CACE provide much needed support and education about cancer prevention and treatment that is sorely missing in our country. Dr. Silberstein has provided education talks in my city multiple times and many of the attendees have said that her information is literally "life changing." My personal experience with Dr. Silberstein and her staff is that they are very knowledgeable, compassionate and patient. I highly recommend CACE!

This former Philadelphian has had the misfortune of being diagnosed with Metastatic Malignant Melanoma more than once. Dr Silberstein has always made herself available to council, comfort and advise. She has been right on each time we have spoken. My husband also has had the fortune to work with her during his Cancer Challenge. Once again she came through with helpful suggestions and comforting words. Working with our Minnesota Physicians and supplementing their treatment with Dr. Silberstein's insights and suggestions has been most helpful to us. Her no pressure tactics have relieved us as we attempt to alter our eating habits and lifestyle.

I had volunteered with organization and when I was diagnosed with sinus cancer I called Dr. Silberstein. She told me: If you aren't vegetarian become one, if you are taking juice plus triple your dose, I you aren't juicing begin and drink a quart a day to include spinach, kale, carrots ,and beet greens. I did all of these and I went through chemo, surgery and 75 treatments with radiation, feeling well the entire time. It's five years out, I still take juice plus, juice and TRY to be vegetarian and I still feel great. The Drs. at U of PA. were quite amazed, they had never seen that tumor disappear after chemo, only reduced. I believe this regimen enhanced the efficacy of the treatments. I continue to support this organization

I had the opportunity to attend the Beat Cancer symposium last year, and since that time, I have followed CACE and participated in other events. In March of this year, I had a cancer scare and fortunately, my biopsy was benign. However, I received a wealth of information during a phone consultation with Susan, which I have used to make additional changes to my diet, even though it was pretty healthy to start. It is gratifying to know that such an organization exists not only to empower people to become proactive and make healthy changes, but also to guide individuals through the maze of medical treatments without asking for any payment in return.

I hope this helps you continue your work. Thank you!

I happen to glance at your website the other day and saw that you offer a health certification, which I am very interested and is what prompted me to write to you. I saw the name Randi Shayne and all sorts of old memories started to come forth. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and was very afraid. I somehow found this place via the internet and was hooked up with Randi. She was there for me to provide support along the way and I will never forget how amazing she was. In fact, I still have all my original notes i took from the many conversations I had with her. I will never forget how fabulous she was. It is because of her that I got on the path of good nutrition and developed my passion for health and wellness. Thank you Randi and thank you CACE for still being there.

BeatCancer has grown from a small grassroots nonprofit over 35 years and is currently poised to expand it's services and impact in a big way. I am very impressed with the organization's flexible leadership, it's dynamic and important programs, and it's vision for the future.

There are few people I know who have not had someone they love affected by cancer. The team at BeatCancer is knowledgeable, compassionate and kind-hearted, and they truly give of themselves in so many ways. I am happy to be a part of this organization and welcome the opportunity to grow with them!

I'm very proud of my sister, Maria Fiorello, for her undaunting compassion & support of this organization. Having lost both of our parents to this dreaded disease only empowers her strive to help victims to hopefully overcome their disease. If God forbid I was struck with this disease I feel very confident & hopeful knowing Maria is an integral part of Beat Cancer; Thank God for this organization which gives hope to the many victims so they can see the light in their struggle & believe they can once again achieve their health.

I admire Susan for her passion to help others and for her willingness to travel far and wide to spread the news. I believe the most profound thing I remember from her is "Cancer is just a word, it's not a sentence.". I share with so many people about Dr. Silberstein and CACE in order that some will find hope.

I have learned so much from Dr. Susan Silberstein about diet and beating cancer which I have been able to share with others! What a powerful message she has to share.

Hello, my name is Patricia Dean, and I was a Volunteer at Center for the Advancement in Cancer Education is 2007. I know and believe in my heart that the positive principles that the Center stand for really do improve the quality of life for people. Because of the education, team work and great spirit of this organization I will be forever blessed.

People need to know that they can make positive choices that affect them even if everything that is going on around them is negative.

Sincerely
Pat Dean

I love the resource materials available. They have been invaluable. I have changed my diet completely and Susan helped be a catalyst for this change.

The guidance and support Susan Silberstein and her team provided my husband & I after his diagnosis with stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer was amazing. They immediately lead us in the right direction for health care recommendations, eating and drinking preferences, and necessary exercise. Susan even calling him to offer encouragement.
I recommend to anyone diagnosed with cancer make this your first call.

Despite all kinds of regular checkups by all kinds of doctors ovarian cancer stage three hit me at age 74 with my first indication of a problem a modest pain in my lower abdomen. Within three weeks of diagnosis I had to have major surgery and then chemotherapy. I was weak, scared, overwhelmed and clueless. I finally remembered that there was this amazing resource within a five minute drive of my house and called the Center. I was fortunate enough to be able to arrange a consultation with Susan Silberstein within a matter of several weeks.
She suggested a number of things to consider and how to manage the effects of the chemotherapy and I had two more follow up consultations in that first year. Susan was so knowledgeable, so kind, so practical, and so honest that I knew I gcould trust her and that gave me hope. It has taken time to implement all of her dietary suggestions, which I know are critical, but I do better all the time and I am so grateful for the resources the Center offers. The printed materials are invaluable and reasonably priced. I recommend the Center whenever I learn of someone facing cancer who I think would be willing to be open to r the kind of help the Center offers.

This organization is one of the most amazing I have ever seen. The level of compassion combined with expertise is beyond extraordinary. There are so many great non profits and those focused on helping people with disease, but this organization truly gets to the root cause of a persons illness. They look at all aspects of an individual to help them heal. By transforming someone's health and life, they are truly transforming the well being of the world. I recommend all my clients who are dealing with cancer to this incredible organization.

How do I begin?? to tell EVERYONE about BeatCancer.org and The Center for Advancement in Cancer Education- all of the wonderful information and advice I have received FREE!. I had the honour of meeting Dr. Susan Silberstein, who founded this non-profit organization and to this day, I am helping others understand what I learned from her! I am spreading this health knowledge not only to people who have been stricken with cancer, but also to healthy individuals as well, so we can help prevent diseases in the first place! This journey of learning with the Center for Advancement in Education, is so powerful and to know that we are educating people on how to take control of their HEALTH- it is absolutely priceless!
Sharing the research gives us the tools to make a positive change in our health. So - a huge "shout-out" to this Non-profit organization, for helping to make a difference in our world.
THANK YOU! / MERCI BEAUCOUP!

Dr Shane saved my life. When I started with her we talked weekly and then as I got better we moved to monthly talks. The advice I received was easy to put into use. Dr Shane would always check how I was doing. If I was off track she would give me a stern reminder of why I was doing this. My last MRI report was fantastic. (As usual I framed it)
In June, I started to share what I knew with my sister who has also been diagnosed with cancer.
Life is good. Enjoy every minute

My mother was diagnosed with an extremely agressive and rare form of brain cancer in 2006. Luckily she was well-versed in Susan's approach as she had been a volunteer at Beat Cancer for many years. My mom flipped roles from support person to client and began her work with Susan and her staff. I believe that without the Susan's knowledge, advice and insight my mom would not be here today. My mother's diagnosis was beyond grim. Chemo, double brain surgery, removal of part of her frontal lobe, a rebuilding of the brain's dura, etc.. This type of cancer had never been successfully treated without surgery.

My mother juiced, meditated, exercised, juiced some more, took supplements, the same ones that her oncologists said were anti-oxidants and therefore would lessen the effects of chemotherapy. Ha!

After the third chemotherapy treatment it was time to meet with the sino-nasal surgeon, the neurosurgeon, the anesthesiologists, etc. There was only a small window of time after chemo to perform the surgery because the cancer bounces back so quickly. This was the last meeting before my mom's 18 hour surgery which would take place within a few days time.

There were a dozen people in the room ready to plan the surgery. My mom's MRI was displayed on the screen. The nurse read the report. It was short. "There is no evidence of cancer." Silence. "I'm sorry. She has SNUC. Please double check that we have the correct image and report."

It was true. The cancer was gone. A mass in her sinus cavity, the size of a plum, was gone.

No surgeries needed. No frontal lobe removal. No rebuilding of the dura. No cutting through her skull and taking bone from her hip. None of it.

Susan's work should be awarded, applauded, funded and spread far and wide.

Life-changing? You bet.

Life-giving? Absolutely.

I love how Susan and team are available to help people navigate through the cancer journey to health! Great resource!

I was diagnosed with DCIS almost two years ago. As you might imagine--it was shocking. I never smoked, didn't drink, didn't live an immoral life. I began my cycle early at age 11 and entered menopause at age 50. I had no children, previously had Ovarian Cysts, Fibrocystic Breast, and twice had Endometriosis , so I knew my risks were high for getting Cancer. When I was diagnosed, I immediately changed my diet and went nearly 95% vegetarian, gave up sweets and started fresh juicing. At some point I hit a low and was depressed and felt out of control since my family was leaning toward Conventional treatments. Finally, in browsing the internet for help after meeting with oncologists, surgeons, etc., Randi (from Beat Cancer.org) came into my life. She was encouraging, uplifting and inspirational. She helped me with diet, exercise, supplements, emotions and confidence. I truly appreciated all her help and knowledge, she was warm and inviting. I've since referred others to this site and hope they will find similar support and delight. I looked forward to my weekly calls with Randi, and she often suggested that I take time for me, and let my other family members (who were adults) care for themselves--I needed this because I have always been a care-giver.

Thanks so very much for being available and offering your services freely (donations accepted). Much of what I learned, I've shared with others. Please keep up the good work. Cut, Burn and Poison is so detrimental to the mind, body and spirit. Cancer involves the entire person and must be treated "Whole-listically".

Respectfully supportive,

This organization offers both education and counseling to help people with cancer. As they say, the best cure is prevention, which is what the education program promotes. Counseling is top notch and follows closely the principles of the Gerson Institute. I do not have cancer, and I do not ever want to get it. The educator and counselor at Beat Cancer have freely offered me assistance in my own effort to improve my health. Always helpful.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38. I was anxious to learn how to get my body and mind back into balance. The ND that counseled me was instrumental in turning my life around. She provided the encouragement and education I needed to make healthy lifestyle choices.

I'm a RN who has lost two family members with Cancer and have researched many places as to what I can do to prevent Cancer in my life time. I'm a representative for Juice Plus+ and Health Educator and because of the Nutritional Information I was introduced to Dr. Silverstein and BeatCancer.org I have been to lectures and bought material that has helped me make Nutritional changes as well as sharing the information with my customers. I have referred CACE to my customers and friends. They have had nothing but Thanks to me for referring them and because of the monthly calls and information that they received they have had HOPE. This is truly a gift that CASE gives to their clients as they go through the many difficult decisions and possible treatments. It is an organization that does wonderful things to who ever calls no matter what their financial situation. Nancy Moody, RN

I hope his review is not too late to be included for 2012 Great NonProfits consideration. My father was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer in 2008. The average lifespan is 5.5 months, and he was not a healthy man due to serious heart disease and diabetes, as well. We have a very close family and we were desperate to fight this disease, and were introduced to CACE by a friend. We had an initial consultation call with a patient support counselor and discussed the situation and what we might be able to do if we were willing to try to make changes immediately. She was an incredible wealth of knowledge on the subject of fighting cancer with nutrition, and made us aware of how diet and nutrition can have an amazingly strong effect on the ability of your immune system to fight both the cancer itself and also stand up to the terrible side effects of chemo and radiation along the way. Not only did she educate us thoroughly, and guide us with extensive recommendations, but she gave us hope, which is of vital significance to a cancer patient when they are fighting this disease. She really became our nutrition coach and a key member of our "team" in the fight. Most importantly, my dad trusted her and stayed strong, and had literally no side effects despite a non-stop series of chemo treatments for two years. We had many consultations, at least one every month via regular update calls for us to discuss my dad's status. She answered countless questions on all aspects of my dad's diet, his symptoms, and discussed any new ideas we may have come across related to the chemo, and the diet. My dad, and our family, came to depend on these calls as the months went by, and looked forward to them as a critical part of the treatment program. My dad lived for more than 2 years with this disease until his body finally gave out in 2011, and our CACE counselor was fully engaged with us every step of the way. I can not tell you how grateful we were for the guidance and support we received. I can not imagine that there is a better source of guidance and support from any organization in this country than what we received from CACE. I can not possibly recommend this organization and our specific counselor any more highly, and would encourage anyone who needs help fighting cancer to contact them.

CACE has changed, and possibly saved, my life. Last February I received a diagnosis of lymphoma from Mayo Clinic. To POSITIVELY confirm this diagnosis they wanted to biopsy an area of my brain that could have left me blind or paralyzed. I did not agree to this and asked if there was ANYTHING else I could do for myself. They said no.....that I would just have to continue having MRIs to check on my "abnormality". What an overwhelming and helpless feeling! Who is there to talk to? From a friend, I found beatcancer.org through CACE and began having weekly hour-long talks with Randi Shayne. Can you believe they do this??!! I felt genuine concern from her and her knowledge of cancer, the body, nutrition, coping, as well as any other topic was amazing. She filled me with information and offered advice without judgement. I completely changed my eating habits, exercise routine, and way of looking at things. What a gift to have an organization that makes it possible to talk to someone like her! This month, after my 6th MRI, they decided that I most likely DO NOT have lymphoma. I TOTALLY BELIEVE that my new lifestyle was instrumental in this. What if I had that biopsy and became handicapped? I tell everyone who is facing the scary world of cancer to contact beatcancer.org. There is truly no other organization like it.

As a Healthy Living Coach and someone who has lost both parents to cancer, I was so thrilled to find BeatCancer.org that I may refer those suffering or dealing with friend or family member. Because this organization's mission is key to helping people become educated in cancer prevention or recurrence. They offer lifestyle counseling and the support is like no other organization that I have ever known in my lifetime. After 35 years of operating as a not for profit donation based and still doing the work they do is monumental!

I recently completed my Masters in Nutrition with a focus on the connection between nutrition and cancer. People need to realize that not only is nutrition essential for prevention, the right nutrition is essential during cancer treatment. The Center for Advancement of Cancer Education provides education for professionals as well as providing direct services to cancer patients seeking nutrition alternatives or enhancements to their treatment therapies.

Beat Cancer is one of the best places for honest information about how to prevent and deal with this dreadful disease. As a professional who has spent the last 20 years researching this industry it is imperative to for cancer patients to go to a place they can trust that will fill in the many huge gaps in conventional care. Madalyn Suozzo OriginalWave

The Center for Advancement in Cancer Education provides a valuable service to both those dealing with a cancer diagnosis and those wishing to prevent it. For those dealing with a cancer diagnosis it can be a difficult time sorting through the maze of information. This organization helps to clients make sense of it all and put it into perspective. We refer clients for assistance quite frequently and the feedback has always been positive.

As a woman with breast cancer healing herself naturally I was very fortunate to discover beatcancer.org when I first got diagnosed and didn't know where to turn. Dr. Randi Shyane was devoted to speaking with me every week giving me valuable information, advice and encouragement. It's been over a year now and I feel fabulous. She continues to give me free consultations and I really look forward to speaking with her with each appointment. I feel like she's not only a consultant and doctor but also a friend. This organization is the only resource I know of that gives so freely their precious time and guides those of us who are scared and living with cancer with compassion, knowledge and love.

The information they provide is invaluable and everyone can benefit from it. The passion behind the fight is evident in what they do. Excellent

I went to a presentation with Dr Silberstein rather reluctantly, thinking that there wasn't anything she was going to say that was new, or that I hadn't already heard before. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that her information was not at all like that disseminated by the mainstream organizations, media, etc. It is nutrition/lifestyle based, and puts the emphasis on prevention, as it should be. Dr Silberstein was an amazingly caring person who is passionate about serving and helping people through the maze of misinformation. I was able to take home a number of printed materials to share with those I know and love.

I have lost track of the number of people diagnosed with cancer whom I have referred to the Center for Advancement in Education. Each one has had a positive experience, whether they have received professional counseling or purchased one of the Center's many informational items. The Center staff cares and gives hope to those who are in a state of chaos and terror following notification of their diagnosis. We are blessed to have this resource available to us.

There was a wonderful all day symposium given in Philadelphia through BeatCancer.org, and I was very impressed with the wealth of up-to-date, valuable and insightful information, as well as a respectful and healing environment. Everyone gained support and an expert level of help. I am definitely going again next year, and will bring my friends.

Having been a board member for the past 28 years it has been extremely gratifying to witness to witness the thousands of indivuals that have been helped with cancer information that has either helped them to prevent cancer or to cope with the effects of their treatments. We are proud to say that beating cancer by prevention is a very valid option. I have seen the results of our couseling services. We are not only helping our clients but are helping tangentially whole families.Please check out our web site at www.beatcancer.org

I have benefitted from inviting CACE and Susan Silberstein to speak a number of times at venues in Chicago and the Carolinas about strategies we can pursue to minimize the risk of cancer. She is an articulate and compassionate spokesperson with vast knowledge. She is always willing to step up and share what she has learned over the years with anyone willing to listen. CACE is a valuable resource for us all.

While we were only a client for a few calls, CACE was very supportive and informative in helping us make a decision on my husbands possible cancer diagnosis. Thankfully it wasn't Cancer but the resources they provided by phone and literature have helped us and many others that I have recommended. What a wonderful organization! Karen

CACE is, in my opinion, so far advanced & much more beneficial to the public when compared to other mainstream cancer organizations because they are actively teaching people how to PREVENT, COPE WITH & BEAT cancer....not merely bringing awareness to (who could possibly NOT be aware of cancer today?), detecting early (wouldn't it be better to learn how to prevent & reduce risks of getting cancer rather than needing to deal with it after the fact?) or looking for a pharmaceutical "cure" (billions raised for "research" & cancer is still on the rise??? Donations would be much better utilized if donated to organizations like CACE!) CACE is the ONLY organization I recommend to people who are suffering from cancer & who want to prevent it. In health talks that I give, I regularly share prevention methods I've learned from attending lectures given by Dr. Susan Silberstein. She & CACE have opened my eyes to the control I have over my own health & it is so empowering! I don't have to live in ignorance & fear & hope I'm one of the lucky ones. In turn, I share what I have learned with as many people as I can. Thank you Dr. Susan & CACE for all of your hard work & giving spirits! You truly are a GREAT non-profit!!!

As a integrative health practitioner, Beat Cancer is my first recommendation for my clients with or healing from cancer. I learned an incredible amount of extremely helpful information from one of Susan's educational programs and it has been invaluable for me in helping give my clients guidance, direction and resources. Susan and her team are like angels in providing counseling, education, resources and hope.

BeatCancer.org (aka the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education) is the first organization I want to tell people about when I hear that someone has been diagnosed with cancer. Susan Silberstein has gathered an invaluable collection of health-promoting resources that empower people who would otherwise be faced only with what the medical world provides. I wish it were better known!

I learned about Help BeatCancer.org over 5yrs ago and have used them as a recommended resource for all my clients dealing with and/or family members facing cancer. They are a professional caring organization. Thankful for them as a resource for too many!

I got to know about the organization through Juice Plus! Every time I have heard Dr. Silberstein talk I have been impressed by her knowledge of how to confront cancer and am alway eager to pass along her knowlege to others.

I was diagnosed with Stage 4, Non-Hodgkin's B-Cell Lymphoma last year and contacted CACE to support me in combating the effects of Chemo and radiation treatment. I made the decision to do chemo and radiation since the cancer had already overwhelmed my immune system and was the most aggressive level (3). CACE provided me really great support on continuing in a diet rich in fruits and vegetables which I had already been on for 5 years and taking Juice Plus. The doctor was opposed to me taking any antioxidants but with my own research and support from CACE I was able to show him the benefits. Secondly recommendations made by CACE for coenzyme Q10, AHCC and other nutritional supplements allowed me to keep my immune system intact in spite of the effects of chemo and radiation. Many (most) of the people I met in treatment at the same time for various forms of cancer had to stop or curtail treatments as their immune system collapsed. I was always able to bounce back between treatments (every 3 weeks) by following the CACE recommendations as well as maintaining a pristine diet of fruits and vegetables. CACE, i.e. Dr. Susan Silberstien was both knowledgeable and compassionate. I sincerely thank her and CACE for their support. The Lord chose to heal me even though my situation was so dire but He was gracious in leading me to CACE and giving me the knowledge to d omy part in the healing process.

I have been a volunteer and board member for 27 years and wish to tell everyonne just how fortunate the world is to hve such a caring and giving group of dedicated people when it comes to helping others to iunderstad a disease such as cancer. Prevention. dealing with treatments or preventing recurence and even helping with emotional issues keeps the staff busyl on a daily basis.

Funding is needed more than ever to keepl the center going.

I appreciate the willingness Susan S demonstrates in sharing the information she continues to gather. Cancer is such a challenge for so many and we need people like Susan who can bring perspective and hope. I don't know if we will ever defeat cancer, but with people like Susan speaking out, there is growing hope that those who will listen have a reduced risk and a better chance of coming through treatment with positive results.

Really love the service CASE provides the community! Health education is so strongly needed in our society. I love the Hungry for Health bars & cookbooks. Susan Silberstein is practical & direct with her information. She is passionate, caring & very generous with those she cares for!

My sister was very much against anything I could tell her about the benefits of nutrition for her husband until I send her the booklet "Vegetable Juices & Cancer Treatment". She was so negative that I had to call her and read excepts from the booklet. Now she's giving taking Juice Plus to her husband and exploring alternative avenues of treatment. This would never have happened without CACE.

Hi My name is Cari Waldron, i am 47 and the mother of 10. In Jan of 2011, while pregnant with my 10th child, I was diagnosised with breast cancer. Having recently lost my father to leukemia who choose to do chemo, i knew this was not immediant option for me, and after seeing a breast specialist whose only option for me was a complete mastectomy with little regard to the affects that the surgery or drugs would do to my un-born baby, so i/ my husband decide pray and ask everyone we know to pray and to prepare my body for a battle 1st by changing my diet and adding nutrition. But even this would not be as easy as 1 would think, because i had to consider the health and well being of my un-born child.This was not something that conventional doctors could advise me in and certainly not something they were happy with. Knowing that food would be a good place to begin, both in elimating and adding, that is where we began. I heard about Juice Plus+ (nutrient dense whole food nutrition in capsule form)and immedientIy started taking it as well as representing it. it was through my Juice Plus business that i heard about C.A.C.E.. I was put in council with Dr. Randy Shane, who genuinely cared about me and the baby and our entire family and what we were going through, she was very informative, & was able to confirm all that i was doing as helpful and even had further suggestions always taking into consideration the well-being of the baby. Dr. Shane also highly suggested that I would nurse, that the hormone released during nursing possibly could affect the cancer in a positive way. So we nursed!!! (couldn't have done that if it had been removed!) I also had the pleasure of meeting the founder of C.A.C.E. Susan Silberstein, it was quite obvious her passion about helping those or family members of those who are battling cancer.
Our family has been blessed by this organization and are excited to report that God has used some or all of what we did to remove my tumor!!!!

My Father has been battling Stage IV lung cancer and when he dropped significant weight we sought help. The Center for Advancement in Cancer Education has given my Dad new hope and empowered him. Thanks to people, like Randi Shayne, who share their knowledge, people like my Dad are feeling better. My Dad, Mom and I have been on numerous conference calls where Randi teaches us how to eat better and get the best nutrition to help my Dad fight and feel better. We have learned about exercise, eating, breathing, staying mentally and physically engaged and even spiritually strong. Randi has schooled us on things we never knew about before, like the benefits of juicing. Most importantly, she gives hope to my Dad and we can all see how the Center has given him a better quality of life.

While recovering from a lobectomy for lung cancer, a friend who was totally recovered from her breast cancer, said to give Beat Cancer a call. "It changed my life" I called and it did the same for me. Dr Shayne heard my medical history and then started teaching me about nutrition and life habits. I hadn't thought of myself as a particularly bad eater. Just someone with a few indulgences. Dr Shayne taught me a whole ew way to think about eating. At first we spoke every week. After I understood the program, it became every month. I'm now two-and-a half years post surgery. I remain cancer free. In addition, I have come off of one of two hypertension medications completely. My readings are better than normal. My statin for cholesterol is now at 1/2 dosage. My panel is great. And all of this information and nurselings was free. I made a donation each year, but no one asked about it. They just gave me knowledge, compassion and support.

I admire the goals of this organization to provide caring holistic information to help prevent cancer and to assist those diagnosed with cancer to learn ane nutrition and other approaches which may improve their health and quality of life. This charity is unique in providing access to information, referrals, counseling and other resources. The director is a knowledgeable, caring person who has helped many hundreds of people. As a psychologist and nutriritionist, I can tell you that her information on CDs and in books is terrific. You can also schedule time to speak with someone on staff personally. You may want to become a member to benefit yourself and support this worthwhile work. The information is useful to anyone who values their health and wants to improve their immune system.....and their inner balance between mind, body and spirit. We are fortunate to have the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education in our area however if you are farther away, you can reach the Center by phone or internet. I RECOMMMEND IT HIGHLY.
Lillian Goertzel, Ed.D, C. N.

I have not personally had cancer, but I have referred a number of people to CASE. They have told me how helpful this organization is. They have also told me that they received a lot of information that they probably would not have come by without turning to this source.

Susan and CACE were invaluable after my breast cancer diagnosis. They were supportive and knowledgeable, and, changed my outlook on the disease. They suggested dietary and lifestyle changes, whereas my physician only could think of chemotherapy. Ten years later I am still grateful for CACE and the choices I made.

this organization gave me a blueprint to follow when i had sinus cancer almost 4 years ago. They gave me information on diet,, juicing and supplements. The doctors were quite floored by my recovery AND I felt well throughout all the conventional therapy of chemo, radiation and surgery. I attribute my feeling of wellness and recovery to the support and guidance I received. . They were outstanding. i recommend them to anyone I know with cancer and they come back with high praise as well. thank you, mary carol kling

I have learned so much from the director of CACE, Susan Silberstein, about prevention and the relationship between nutrition and disease/health . She gives amazing presentations ("Are you Digging your Grave with your Fork?"). She travels tirelessly around the country giving talks and spreading the word about how to prevent and reverse cancer. I have referred people to their organization many times. They offer free cancer consultation advice and abundant materials to help people on their journey to health.

Susan Silberstein and her staff at CACE are the most devoted and helpful people that I have ever dealt with. My first encounter with Dr. Susan S. was at a Juice Plus lecture on Nutrition. In October 2009 – I was diagnosed with cancer. I have had four phone consultations with Dr. Susan Silberstein (each over an hour long). How many medical doctors give you more that 5 or 10 minutes and don’t remember anything about you. She was compassionate, caring and extremely knowledgeable. She taught me how to eat correctly to build up my immune system and explained the benefits of eating live foods. We talked about stress and attitude and exercise and supplements. She had many referrals to share. What inspired me the most was her no rush attitude on the phone and she remembered who I was and what I had told her about myself. How refreshing! She offers an alternative to regular forms of cancer treatment. How wonderful! Her service is strictly on a donation basis and I was not pushed to make a donation. She has been like an angel sent from heaven, come to my rescue. My thanks and gratitude are immeasurable. Kay Williams - Arizona

My Mom now 81 is a true testament of the amazing support offered by the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education founded by Susan Silberstein. My Mom is a breat and ovarian cancer survivor thanks to the care she received by Susan. Susan supported my mother through the pain and confusion of being a cancer patient. She was diagnosed with brest cancer some 20 years ago and recently overcame 3rd stage ovarian cancer some 8 years ago. Susan's approach was a combination of support through traditional and alternative cancer therapies with a focus on whole food nutition and emotional guidance. The Center helps each and every patient sort through the confusion of what is a safe and effective approach to healing. I recommend the Center to all my friends and family. They are so deserving of this award.

We all have friends and relatives who have been told they have cancer. The options for treatments seem to be the same - chemo and radiation. CACE gives you another option. I have sent their articles, publications, and pamphlets on natural treatments for cancer to my friends and relatives with cancer as another treatment option.

CACE's approach to cancer education, prevention & treatment is very unique & unprecedented. The level of passion & dedication exuded by all CACE employees & volunteers is extremely moving. It gives me great pleasure & satisfaction to be a part of this amazing organization.

I have found that this Center is unique in offering approaches to help peop;e reduce their risk of cancer as well as offering ways to survive cancer. The caring and attention to each person and family member who wishes to be involved is unprecedented. The Center has been helpful to me with relatives who have been diagnosed with cancer as well as to improve my own immune system. Approaches include but are not necessarily limited to nutrition, counseling and resource materials which are truly user friendly and the cost is truly inexpensive. I have found that the Director is compassionate and decicated to the mission of helath and ell-being. My work at the center motivate me to become a licensed nuturitonist and to continue the lifelong learning process of heathy living. My background as a psychologist with a specialty in health psychology perhaps gives me a perspective of sharing with you that this Center is truly special and aims to enhance the lives of those who are diagnosed. The Center has been very helpful and inspirational too me at times when family members were struggling with theri health. It has veen a place that gives support and information of a kind that is not available anywhere else. I highly recommend the Center for hving both heart and brains Uf you or a family member could benefit from this information please do contact the center.

CACE has been there for my patients in need of direction, information, and hands on help to implement comlimentary medicine to support their bodies' healing. In the cancer field, many confuse the symptoms of cancer for the disease. The tumors are the symptoms. The process that allowed those growths in the first place is what needs to be addressed. We in alternative medicine know that if you only deal with the symptom, the tumor, the process that put it there continues unabated and creates more symptoms (tumors). Healing the process is what CACE is all about,and this is a very individualized experience because with cancer each patient has their own "process". I commend Susan Silberstein for her tireless efforts of over 30 years supporting the healings of thousands. Thank You CACE

My first experience with the Center for Advancement in Cancer was at a Prevention Plus health lecture where Dr. Silberstein was the speaker. The information that she shared was very interesting and a wake up call for how we should eat. After all, we are what we eat…it’s no wonder why so many Americans have cancer and heart disease. I have recommended the Center for Advancement in Cancer to my friends with cancer and will continue to do so. Thank you for the years of great service. Rusty Tepper

When a member of my family was diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. Silberstein helped her navigate the maze of treatment options available to her and select a course of treatment that has kept her healthy and cancer-free for over five years. The personal attention she recieved from Dr. Silberstein and her staff made a profound difference in her life. The counseling provided by CACE addresses the whole person and enables cancer patients and others to strengthen both body and mind.

In '07 a friend of my daughter was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. For support, I offered to prepare her meals. I went to CACE to find out what to feed a cancer patient. What would build their strength and maybe even get them well? What I discovered through CACE's nutritional and life style coaching, not only changed my life but also saved the life of our friend. She is cancer free and I have gained invaluable knowledge to prevent cancer before it happens!

I met the founder of this unique and powerful force for health almost 30 years ago and have been continually impressed by its contributions to alternative, preventive, and complementary health in our community and nationwide. I have attended a number of CACE's educational courses and programs and have always come away with the latest information based on hard science combined with a deep sense of caring for the clients they serve. Many times I have recommended people with a diagnosis of cancer to CACE, knowing they will get the best advice about how they as individuals can put together the program of recovery which will be most comfortable, helpful, and hopeful for them. Also, people like myself who are interested in finding out the best ways to prevent this degenerative disease can do no better than to learn all they can from this wonderful organization.

I have attended many lectures and one-on-one talks with Dr. Silberstein. She is focused on helping people make the best decisions when cancer strikes. If it ever strikes me, CACE will be the first place I go before making any decisions on my treatment.

A great deal of emphasis is placed on using chemicals to treat cancer but it is common knowledge that while the chemicals destroy many bad cells they also destroy some good cells. Dr Silberstein can be very helpful in advising patients how to give their bodies the nutritional support it needs to be able to withstand the sever treatment of the cancer.

I followed life and health suggestions given by Center for Advancement in Cancer Education. I found suggestions clearer and easier to use. I changed my life style and feel my life has been better because of Center's help. Although I have had skin cancer and operations to remove cancer and sew up skin, I am alive unlike some people I have known. I have less fear of cancer and consider it part my life that I need to pay daily attention to like doing laundry. The Center suggestions are used in all aspects of my life and I am alive for it.

I was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to locate information and support to guide the stress filled journey. CACE was a wonderful resource because of their whole patient approach. They live the reality that cancer is a word not a sentence. Their key role is education for the reality of today with a hopefilled education for healthy tomorrows. CACE has a two-fold mission of support through diagnosis and prevention.

After being diagnosed with cancer, my mother turned to CACE for diet and lifestyle counseling to strengthen her body during chemotherapy. Susan was so generous with her time, and she really helped my mom to understand the way that her diet can improve her symptoms and ultimately make her body less desirable for malignant cells. Her cookbook, Hungry for Health, is a staple in our kitchen.

From diagnosis to complete regaining of optimum health, I have benefited from caring, forward-thinking, advice offered by the staff at the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education. I learned of treatment options that helped make the difference ---in mind, body and spirit. Thanks to CASE, I made the paradigm shift from feeling ill to feeling hopeful about my life, and now I get to tell about it. Best, Florence Dudley

When my father was diagnosed with an unoperable malignant brain tumor, the staff at CACE began providing immediate support and consultation, in spite of an already packed client roster. We were provided not only information to help us combat this disease but the compassion and comfort to stand strong in the face of this formidable battle. Sadly, my father succumbed to complications from his tumor, but the knowledge we gained from working with CACE, has influenced our family to make more healthy choices in our diet and lifestyle. We will always be grateful for the support the competent and caring staff provided in our time of terrible health crisis.

This Organization (CACE) has made an incredibly strong and clear case for the notion that cancer is a malfunctioning PROCESS that gives rise to malignant tumor symptoms. And,as such, it urges us to respond to cancer by changing the environment within our body to prevent the PROCESS from prevailing. Accordingly,CACE places great emphasis on strengthening the immune system, and on nourishing the body with a high percentage of uncooked plant-based foods capable of creating a lot less acidic body chemistry and introducing much needed oxygen and digestive enzymes at the cellular level. This focus places greater emphasis on the cause of cancer instead of only responding to the effect.

CACE not only provides free emotional and nutritional counseling to cancer patients and their families; its founder, Susan Silberstein, travels the country educating people about the importance of nutrition in preventing and surviving cancer FOR FREE! Which would you rather do for yourself or a loved one - prevent cancer or go through surgery, radiation,and chemotherapy treatments? CACE teaches that up to 70% of cancer is preventable through lifestyle, ie diet, exercise, and avoidance of toxins like cigarette smoke.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer, I was able to speak with CACE free of charge! They directed me to alternative therapies to help me with my treatment plan! They were AWESOME! Susan Silberstein works tirelessly to help all those touched by cancer whether they can afford it or not! I direct everyone I know to this service!

I am a Juice Plus representative and have recommended this organization to clients. Full of programs, wonderful support system and educational information.

Dr. Silberstein spent an hour over the phone reviewing the diet and lifestyle of my patient who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer (while I listened on the line). Her suggestions for changes in order to move the body back to optimal health were very helpful. My patient will be forever grateful for this intervention. CACE never makes a patient pay when they are unable -- This is admirable work they are doing!

I work in the field of nutrition and have been involved with the center for many years. I have referred clients to the center where they have received tremendous help. I have been to many lectures and book review that the founder Susan has presented. All have been eye opening and very useful in everyday life.

I have been participating in and following the work of the Center for Advancement in Cancer for several decades. In the 1980s and 1990s i volunteered in various capacities and attended conferences for man, many years. CACE provides a unique and valuable service for the public. With no vested interests and having impartially followed and reviewed most treatment programs around the world for decades it is the most credible source I know for information and referrals for people when they may be inundated with confusing and biased information at a most stressful time in their lives. CACE is also very sensitive to respecting individual belief systems and needs in offering a range of approaches from complementary medicine to biological repair. The professional conferences I have attended over the years have been a very high quality with presentations by pioneers and leaders in the field, including my field of Psychoneuroimmunology. Their public events are very informative and give practical information people can use. The professional referrals I have collaborated with or used have been the top of the line, pioneer in their fields, creative scientists. I especially appreciate CACE's emphasis on nontoxic treatments, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments and reducing side effects of conventional approaches when necessary. I have referred loved ones with a cancer diagnosis for consultations and have sent materials to friends as well. It is great to have a resource that I trust 100% for quality of information, referrals and integrity. I have been saddened to observe the organization struggling so much financially when they are doing such valuable work. With more financial support CACE cold do much more good.

I have known Dr. Susan Silberstein, founder of C.A.S.E., for many years. When I became a Job Developer for Goodwill's SCSEP Program last year, one of the first people I contacted to help (C.A.S.E. now gets free office support) was Susan, because I don't know anyone who cares as much as she does about the work she does. And C.A.S.E. is seriously in need of funding and support. I have offered my services for free and hope that others will follow. Thank you Susan. You are one in a million!

Ms. Silberstein's book, "Hungry for Health" was just the start I needed to understand and get started with an organic, alkaline diet when I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Now, a year later, I am very clear that this diet, and the rest of the information I have gleaned from Center's website and publications, have played a central part in my being cancer-free as of my last CT scan.

Having a CACE counselor in my corner helped enable me to do the work to eliminate a 1.5" mass diagnosed as a cancerous tumor in my small intestine to disappear in 97 days. It first showed up in a March Petscan but was declared "no longer present" in one done June 2010 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore
