A Radical Remission is a cancer remission that occurs either without conventional medical treatment, after conventional treatment has failed to work, or when conventional and complementary methods are used in conjunction to overcome a dire prognosis.
We believe that, given enough documented cases to research, the causes of Radical Remission can be uncovered.
That is why we created this website – to build a database of medical cases that will help us to understand why some people beat cancer against all odds.
OUR MISSION
Create awareness through education, empowerment through coaching, and support through community for anyone, anywhere, at any point on their wellness journey.
We come together to help people find community, courage, and support for their healing journey. 
Kelly A. Turner, PhD.
I am a researcher, writer, and psychotherapist who specializes in integrative oncology. For over 15 years, I have shared my discoveries about these 10 healing factors common among Radical Remission® survivors with workshop participants and coaching clients from around the world.
1. Radically changing your diet – Prioritizing whole, plant-based foods and eliminating processed foods, sugar, and toxins can reduce inflammation and support immune function.
2. Taking control of your health/Empowering yourself – Becoming an empowered participant in your health journey encourages informed decision-making and builds trust in one’s chosen healing path.
3. Following your intuition – Intuition can be a subtle but powerful guide in making health-related decisions, particularly when faced with multiple treatment options.
4. Using herbs and supplements – Many people turn to natural compounds to help support the body’s healing systems, reduce side effects, and improve overall vitality.
5. Releasing suppressed emotions – Emotional suppression has been linked to chronic stress and disease. Consciously working through grief, anger, or trauma may lift a hidden burden on the body.
6. Increasing positive emotions – Cultivating joy, gratitude, and laughter is not just emotionally enriching. It can directly influence immune function and recovery outcomes.
7. Embracing social support – A strong sense of community has been shown to increase survival rates and enhance quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
8. Deepening your spiritual connection – Regardless of religious beliefs, spiritual practices often offer comfort, purpose, and a sense of interconnectedness that fosters resilience.
9. Having strong reasons for living – A clear sense of purpose can energize a healing journey and inspire a renewed commitment to life.
10. Engaging in physical activity – Movement stimulates the lymphatic system, boosts mood, and reduces the risk of many chronic conditions, including cancer recurrence.
The Radical Remission factors
represent an integrative and universally accessible toolkit
for all cancer survivors.
These practices help cultivate a biological environment
that is less conducive to cancer growth
by supporting immune function,
reducing inflammation,
and fostering emotional and psychological well-being.
As with any approach,
the integration of these lifestyle changes
should be personalized and ideally practiced
in collaboration with medical professionals.
However, the powerful stories behind Radical Remission
and growing scientific support for mind-body medicine
suggest that these ten factors
can complement conventional strategies
and potentially help lower the risk of recurrence
— not just in colorectal cancer,
but across a wide spectrum of diagnoses.

Liz Curran, a Co-Director of the Radical Remission® Project, was inspired to become a health coach after caring for her sister with an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis in 2014.
During that time, Liz believed that there had to be a roadmap out there to guide people to play a stronger role in their own healing. She believes Radical Remission® is that roadmap. She later witnessed the power of lifestyle change firsthand, which motivated her to train to become a cancer coach. Liz has been moved to share her experiences ever since.
Liz Curran is a Holistic Cancer Health Coach, Certified Radical Remission™ Workshop Facilitator, and Speaker. Her program offers a roadmap to lifestyle change as a powerful tool for people with cancer, autoimmune disease, and those seeking emotional wellness.
She co-founded the The Radical Remission Project ”Stories That Heal” Podcast that brings the audience the true stories and experiences from radical remission survivors and the healers and doctors who have helped them overcome a dire prognosis. These episodes are full of stories of hope and inspiration for anyone living with a life-changing diagnosis.
Liz lost her sister to an aggressive breast cancer in 2014. While in treatment, Liz watched her struggle with feeling powerless to aid her own healing. She is now deeply inspired to empower others to find their voice and play an active role in their health and recovery without feeling alone.
Liz coaches both individuals and small groups and leads Radical Remission Workshops virtually and in-person in the Philadelphia region and beyond.In her practice, she takes an integrative approach to lifestyle change, guiding others to release anxiety and cultivate resilience and calm that so often surrounds a diagnosis.

Gratitude
Even before becoming Co-Directors, we were grateful for the research that Dr. Turner conducted and for the opportunity to become Certified Radical Remission Health Coaches. Today, we are grateful for being able to amplify the mission of the Radical Remission Project and share its 10 healing factors.
You might feel like gratitude is over-hyped, but we can assure you that there is good reason for all the buzz. According to one study from Harvard,
Across positive psychology research,
gratitude is strongly and consistently
associated with greater happiness.
This is great news since we are sure everyone would vote for greater happiness.
No matter where our mental and emotional health is at any moment, gratitude can help us see the good in our lives. Gratitude helps us connect with something bigger than ourselves, such as nature or a higher power.
When we feel grateful, we are feeling a positive emotion and, as you know from Dr. Turner’s first book Radical Remission,
Positive emotions are like rocket fuel
for the immune system.
Positive emotions lead to an outpouring in our bloodstreams of happy hormones that in turn boost our immune systems.
If you haven’t already established a gratitude practice of some kind, we strongly encourage you to start today. You can simply write down 3 things you are grateful for in a notebook or journal, use a daily planner, or write your 3 gratitudes on slips of paper and drop them in a mason jar on your kitchen counter.
Find a method that works for you. You will be happy that you did!
