I have a very hard time donating to organizations with which I don't have personal experience and/or at whom I don't know anyone. I give to all local organizations.
Cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease, not a genetic disease ... and all cancers have 1 commonality in that cancer is fueled by glucose and the amino acid glutamine thru fermentation ... remove the fuel cancer needs to survive means the management and prevention of cancer.
Everything spelled out above has been researched, investigated, verified, and published, by professor Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
The above you-tube channel has links to where you can go to support Dr. Seyfried's work.
Dr. Seyfried is in the process of writing a press/pulse metabolic therapy cancer protocol ...
-- press down glucose with diet
-- pulse low doses of targeted glutamine inhibitors
-- then when tumors are shrunk down and indolent, surgically debulk the tumors
Just as Dr Prasad is pointing out, Dr. Seyfried (in his many interviews) is also questioning what cancer charities do with all the money they get -- while citing that (as one example) that outcomes for glioblastoma haven't budged in a 100 years.
To paraphrase Dr. Seyfried, "metabolic therapy for cancer is coming".
While I value your suggestions and have felt the same about the American Cancer Society as well as Susan Komen or whatever they currently call themselves, I would greatly appreciate some high quality charities in the US as many people here are in need of assistance as well. I notice other commenters have posted ideas. Thank you!
I agree completely, my friend, especially not donating to the ACS. Oops! You meant American Cancer Society, not American College of Surgeons. I would not donate to either. If you wonder why the latter, read on.
I was visiting my parents, and there was a commercial for St. Jude's on... every single day.... I normally refuse to donate to organizations that spend significant $$ on commercials like that. They also say that there's no bill for anyone, and I wonder how much of that bill is footed by insurance vs. donations. But the cause seems compelling. Thoughts?
I remember my Irish father (read stubborn) having a real chip on his shoulder about a couple of charitable organizations when I was a kid. They needed help for me as they were financially rough and I needed ortho surgery. I’ll leave their names out, but Shriner’s helped and that was the only organization dad would give to. For me, I donate TIME if I can. It’s a better gift.
Look for a low advertising percentage, and frankly I think the CEO/president should be making a reasonable, but not huge salary. I feel like the most effective charities are ones where everyone is there for the cause, not the salary, and that's often reflected in the CEO taking a lower salary to hire more people or provide more services,
Also, if anyone send you gimmicky stuff - coins or priority mail - that's an immediate no for me. If I donated $30, I don't want $3 of that spent on postage to send me another request for money.
How about donating to IPAK, The Institue for Pure and Applied Knowledge, which conducts research in the public interest without profit motive? Expect great things coming soon as we relaunch our journal, Science, Public Health Policy & the Law (major relaunch next week), the journal that published Dr. Jessica Rose's first VAERS analysis of COVID19 vaccine adverse events? We also study and publish on the toxicity of aluminum in vaccines and have published a large vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study (1). https://ipaknowledge.org/How-to-Donate.php The future of science is independent science. #IPAK 1 https://ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/59
I am a regular IPAK donor. As is true of anyone, I do not agree with everything they say/do. But they do lots of good work that no one else does. And they are honest about what they do. And they are often (IMHO) correct. An excellent cause if one wishes to support independent research.
Another excellent place for donations is brownstone.org. This has become one of the rare places where non-regime opinions about issues of concern (like covid, censorship) are reliably published and available worldwide.
Both of these are tax deductible and worthwhile causes -- far better than LLS, Hopkins, ACS and all of the regime stalwarts if you want your contribution to mean something.
I do have a problem with Peter Singer’s utilitarian based ethics system but completely agree that it’s best to give money to charities that are responsible and who are taking direct action.
You raise a point I've long been curious about: is there already, or can a robust, parallel research ecosystem realistically be constructed? One which is trulyindependent from those gatekeeper spaces defined by the nexus of hallowed universities, their wealthy donors and the hegemonic corporations run by those same people? Or must we content ourselves to small funding for neglected-almost-forgotten basement offices? Another way to ask this: can you really imagine dollars flowing to research which hasn't already imagined its commercial (patentable) applications...?? Pure motives and/or simple curiosity doesn't seem to excite the deep pocket types who appreciate the quarterly reports rollercoaster market.

check out www.cancerpatientlab.org - a 501c3 that is patient driven, cutting edge and concerned with outcomes, not profit

After having a child with Leukemia I found this local organization that is doing more for child cancer research than any big one....
PLease consider donating, they are based in Gilroy, CA

Thanks!
Excellent information. Now please be as sane about obesity which is 65% NOT 43%. A 35 inch waistline is obese.
What do you think of St. Jude's Hospital?
I was visiting my parents, and there was a commercial for St. Jude's on... every single day.... I normally refuse to donate to organizations that spend significant $$ on commercials like that. They also say that there's no bill for anyone, and I wonder how much of that bill is footed by insurance vs. donations. But the cause seems compelling. Thoughts?
My monthly donations go to St Jude and T2T. The charity navigator site you posted gave them both 4 star ratings. Thanks for posting that.
How would one go about finding private individuals doing research at a university Dr Prasad/anyone?

Amen. Time is the one thing you can't get back.
And a great gift to give!
What about US charities that donate to injured vets and their families, like Tunnel to Towers? Are they spending money well?
You can look up a lot of organizations on www.charitynavigator.org as well as see what employees say at glassdoor.com

Agree. Another good resource is givingwhatwecan.org.
This is great advice, thank you!
