Fight Colorectal Cancer Inspire Community Guidelines

The Fight Colorectal Cancer Inspire community is a forum for people to share their concerns, questions, ideas, and support for each other related to Colorectal Cancer. It is not a place to argue or try to convince others and certainly not to demean anyone else’s path through cancer.

Negative personal statements about others will be removed.

It is the practice of Fight Colorectal Cancer to support scientific and FDA sanctioned research and products. As stated in our "linking practices" on our website, we try to be careful that the information and services offered will help and not hurt.

Participants of the community expect to find factual, accurate information supported by scientific evidence. If a discussion becomes focused on ideas or suggestions which are not supported by scientific research, we will so note the posted comment does NOT follow the scientific guidelines for which the organization is bound by.

Fight Colorectal Cancer will remove postings which are intended to sell a product

Fight Colorectal Cancer supports cancer treatments that are:

- Developed through well-designed, scientifically rigorous clinical trials.
- Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- Emerging as the result of clinical trials evidence reported in peer-reviewed, scientific journals and shown to be safe and effective.
- If they include experimental or unproven medicines or treatments, are provided as part of a clinical trial

The guidelines that Fight Colorectal Cancer has adopted with respect to complementary and alternative medicine can be found on our website at http://fightcolorectalcancer.org/awareness/treatment/alternative, along with a link to a webinar about complementary therapy.

Thank you for your participation and continued support.
