Our Mission
The Radical Remission Foundation’s mission is to advance the education and support scientific research on the topic of radical remissions.
Harvard Finalizing Results on Radical Remission Study
Researchers at Harvard have been conducting a pilot study to analyze the benefits of the Radical Remission workshop and online course for cancer patients. Specifically, the research study is looking at the impact the workshop/online course may have on patients’ quality of life and dietary habits.
This study has been approved by the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health Institutional Review Board (Protocol #: IRB18-1239).
​
What this means:
-
Cancer patients who signed up for either an in-person workshop or our online course had the option to complete a set of online surveys before, one month after, and six months after the workshop or course.
-
The team of Harvard researchers are currently analyzing the completed surveys to determine the impact of the 10 Radical Remission healing factors on the quality of life and dietary habits of study participants.
-
Results from this pilot study will be submitted for publication. If we find a positive impact of the 10 healing factors, we hope to apply for larger grants to fund a randomized, controlled trial that will study the impact of the 10 healing factors in more depth.

The Research Team
Dr. Michelle Holmes is the Principal Investigator of the Radical Remission Multimodal Intervention Study. She is an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and an associate professor in the department of Epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health. Her research interests include lifestyle factors (diet, weight change, physical activity, and psychosocial factors, common medications like aspirin) affecting quality of life and survival after a cancer diagnosis, as well as the association between diet and breast cancer risk. Other research interests include diet and lifestyle influences on endogenous levels of steroid hormones and insulin-like growth factors, and ethnic differences in obesity and other lifestyle factors affecting chronic disease risk. She co-edited a book on nutrition for cancer survivors published by the American Cancer Society. She has worked with the Nurses’ Health Study since 1997. Since 2007 she has helped to design a collaborative longitudinal study of non-communicable disease (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer) at 5 sites in sub-Saharan Africa, called the Africa / Harvard School of Public Health Partnership for Cohort Research and Training (PaCT). Since 2015 she is the co-Principal Investigator of the Aspirin for Breast Cancer Trial (abctrial.org), testing whether treating breast cancer patients with aspirin will prevent their breast cancer from recurring.
Dr. Junaidah Barnett is the co-Principal Investigator of the Radical Remission Multimodal Intervention Study. She is currently affiliated with the Harvard School of Public Health, Department of Nutrition. Dr. Barnett’s research interests include determining the impact of diet, lifestyle, the environment, and other factors, on maintenance of optimal health, prevention of diseases, and optimization of healing from diseases. As Principal Investigator/Project Director and/or co-Investigator, Dr. Barnett has successfully designed and conducted over 20 studies. Her research has focused on the associations of foods, food groups, dietary patterns, macro- and micro-nutrients, as well as other lifestyle factors, including physical activity, on various chronic and infectious diseases, and their risk factors. Studies conducted previously included community needs assessment; randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled nutrition intervention; well-controlled diet; cross-sectional; nutrition education; dietary and physical activity validation; as well as epidemiological studies in populations of diverse demographic, ethnic and age groups (18 to 90 years; N~30-800/study). The geographical areas where these studies have been conducted include Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, as well as nationally (the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study), and internationally in the Philippines, West Malaysia, and Singapore. As Principal Investigator, Dr. Barnett is currently evaluating the effect of the Nutrition Intervention Program of the Hebrew Senior Life Healthy Living Center of Excellence (HLCE) on the quality of life and dietary intake of participants.
About the Radical Remission Foundation
