Follicular lymphoma is an indolent cancer that can regress naturally, responding favorably to treatment and scientific natural strategies for long-term survival.
Applying the latest in genetic research, follicular lymphoma patients now have a better chance than ever to achieve a fully active, healthy life.
This site is dedicated toward the achievement of that goal...to pull it all together...the latest research, latest treatments AND scientifically-based natural strategies into an integrative 20++ year plan...giving follicular lymphoma patients the very BEST chance possible for long-term survival.
+++++++
24 years since diagnosis with follicular lymphoma, "retired" college dean (and his team) offer balanced information, guidance and support for patients and caregivers seeking results beyond the norm...and yes, as follicular lymphoma patients ourselves, we understand.
+++++++
Welcome to our site... celebrating more than 13 years with over 2000 active members world-wide, this is the premier site for pro-active patients seeking the very best information and support exclusive to follicular lymphoma with:
- a personalized, human touch
- scientific, innovative...with integrity
- the most reliable, understandable information and support available "anywhere"
- the information I wish had been available when diagnosed more than 24 years ago

What Will Be Gained From This Site?
* "Life is not over" if you get follicular lymphoma. The prognosis is better than many first think. Most people have had it unknowingly for many years. Living a long, full, active life unaffected by follicular lymphoma IS possible.
* Especially for newly diagnosed patients with follicular lymphoma, an understanding of the complexity of this disorder is essential. See our 39 page free sample article "Overview of Follicular Lymphoma".
* Follicular lymphoma, regarded as incurable, can be beaten. But the required plan of action is challenging. We have the details here, available nowhere else. The complete program includes:
- balanced, objective information about follicular lymphoma in a logically ordered, easy to understand action plan
- an action plan…doable, effective, pulling it all together
- data on the latest, most effective conventional treatments for follicular lymphoma
- the latest, most credible, scientifically-based targeted natural strategies especially designed for follicular lymphoma patients
As Patients, Who Are We?
Follicular lymphoma patients are NOT TYPICAL cancer patients. That's because follicular lymphoma is not a typical malignancy. It *demands* special understanding and management for optimal long-term success.
Therefore, we need excellent/experienced lymphoma doctors who take a *long-term perspective* toward keeping us healthy, AND we need to know what we can do to help ourselves attain and stay in the "thrive zone" for many years. In short...we need BOTH.
Is it REALLY Possible for a Follicular Lymphoma Patient to Help Him or Herself?
Yes, it sure is.
Most follicular lymphoma patients sense that cancer is somehow connected to gene malfunction. And that's correct. Genes regulate everything.
But most follicular lymphoma patients are incorrect in assuming that there's not much that can be done about changing the way their genes interact with each other.
Here we describe how select lifestyle strategies can alter and correct gene expression through what is known as epigenetics. This remarkable new approach, that follicular lymphoma patients can proceed with on their own, is based on the latest scientific data from the leading research institutions. As of 2013, epigenetics is one of the most active areas in follicular lymphoma research.
Genetic profiling along with epigenetics makes *resolution* of follicular lymphoma a distinct long-term possibility.About This Site and Its Community of Members Worldwide
* This service has been established for many years, and is the most prominent survivor-managed website in the world devoted exclusively to follicular lymphoma.
* Our coverage on follicular lymphoma is extensive and right up-to-date as can be seen by clicking on our Topic Index tab.
* We support a "conservative" approach to managing incurable follicular lymphoma for patients who do not require treatment. We refer to this as dynamic observation, at which time the patient applies the latest scientifically-based natural strategies to hold the lymphoma in check, and in many cases, reverse it.
* We do not provide medical advice, but try to ensure that members are aware of all options for follow-up discussion with their doctors when discussing treatments for follicular lymphoma.
* Numerous expressions of satisfaction and gratitude are received, a few of which are listed in What the Members Say.* The site is committed to "balanced objectivity". There is no advertising on the site, nor are there products to sell. It is supported 100% by its membership.
* There are several doctors in the group both as patients and caregivers. People come from all walks of life, with a variety of backgrounds.* Members may wish to gain encouragement and information from those with personal experience on our discussion board.
