Professor Michael Friedlander, PhD FRACP, Head of Medical Oncology at Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital and a Patron of Life Force, has this to say about Life Force:
“I have been associated with the Life Force Cancer Foundation since its inception in 1993 and have been more than impressed with the support that they have offered to patients with cancer and to their families. They have survived largely on the good will of the staff and community who have donated their time as well as funds to run the programs.
There is now ample evidence to support psychosocial service provision and this is no longer an area of controversy as it was when Life Force was established. There are now psychosocial guidelines endorsed by the NHMRC and no one would argue that this is an important and essential component of cancer care.
One of the major advantages of the Life Force Cancer Foundation is that it sees patients outside the hospital system in a non-threatening environment and I see this as one of its major strengths. In my experience many people do not want to return to the hospital setting for psychological support once treatment has completed, due to the memories that are evoked by returning regularly to the same institution. Another major strength of Life Force is that the counsellors work with clinicians rather than against them and this is consistent with the holistic approach to cancer care.”
Professor Friedlander received The 2007 Medical Oncology Group of Australia-Novartis Oncology Cancer Achievement Award for his outstanding contribution to the control of cancer in Australia.

Hi , my name is Stephen and I have felt it my duty to inform your group of a book I have come across about successful treatment of a number of cancers , I pray that this email is read and the information is in someway helpful
The authors name is Hulda Clark and the book is called The Cure for all Cancers , she has a website also . Newtown library in Sydney can access a copy as there are only a couple in the country . This book gives many cases of successful treatment in a variety of diseases using no drugs only a variety of specific herbs ,in conjunction with a little zapper ,the zapper is key to treatment for it uses a very small and painless pulse of electricity to kill the bugs within a diseased person and then follows on with a liver and kidney cleanse to dispense the toxins.
I represent myself only and have no gain from any business , only to pass this information on in the hope that your group will forward it those in need , as I can do only so much myself
I thank you for reading this and trust that in someway it can help many people
Regards
Stephen Croft
