Cancer Tutor

What Cancer Tutor does

Cancer Tutor is an educational content platform that aggregates and presents research on alternative and integrative cancer treatments, operated by the Independent Cancer Research Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit founded by R. Webster Kehr in 2006 and headquartered in Nevada. The platform organizes content through the proprietary CT7 (Cancer Tutor 7 Steps) framework, which guides patients through seven dimensions: understanding cancer, causes, nutrition, detoxification, exercise, treatments, and community. Core products include the CT7 framework, a Clinic Directory listing 28 verified integrative treatment centers across the US, Mexico, and Canada, an evidence-based Grading System for evaluating alternative therapies, a comprehensive Library of articles and research, and a Treatments Database covering 200+ alternative protocols (e.g., IV Vitamin C, Gerson Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen, Budwig Protocol, Immunotherapy). A sister site, cancerdoctor.com, extends the platform into doctor-finding referrals.

The company's underlying technology is a content management system (WordPress-based on the theme asset paths observed) with structured navigation across the seven CT7 steps, a searchable treatments database, and a clinic directory with filtering by location and treatment type. There is no proprietary AI/ML, no mobile app, no API surface, and no disclosed software product beyond the website itself. The audience consists of cancer patients and caregivers, primarily those exploring alternative or integrative options after conventional treatment dissatisfaction, plus integrative treatment clinics seeking patient referrals.

Cancer Tutor's revenue model is donation-driven under its 501(c)(3) status, with monthly contributor tiers at $20 (Bronze), $30 (Silver), $50 (Gold), and $100 (Platinum). A secondary, unconfirmed revenue lever exists through the clinic directory, which may generate featured-listing or referral fees from treatment centers; clinic-side fees of $4,000-$15,000 per week referenced in the platform belong to third-party clinics, not Cancer Tutor. The go-to-market motion is community-led content marketing with heavy SEO emphasis, supplemented by an email newsletter and the cancerdoctor.com referral channel. The company does not sell products, does not charge patients for content access, and discloses no enterprise or institutional revenue streams.
