The Foundation's dedication is a result of Dr. Josef M. Issels' research findings and the Issels Treatment's exceptional rate of complete long-term remissions of advanced cancers through the Issels Treatment^®.

Dr. Josef M. Issels is considered the father of integrative cancer medicine. He was the first to integrate conventional and alternative/ complementary treatments into a comprehensive treatment program that focuses on both the cancer tumor and the internal bodily environment which promotes the tumor growth. He has achieved a remarkable rate of complete long-term remissions of "incurable cancers" in patients who had exhausted all standard treatments.
