The 10 Radical Remission Factors: What the Research Reveals
Dr. Kelly Turner's landmark research into thousands of documented radical remissions identified 10 key factors consistently present in unexpected cancer recoveries. Here's what they mean for your journey.
In 2014, Dr. Kelly Turner published Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds — the result of her research into over 1,000 cases of unexpected cancer recovery. Her findings identified 10 factors that appeared consistently across these cases, regardless of cancer type or stage.
The 10 Radical Remission Factors
- 1Radically changing your diet
- 2Taking control of your health
- 3Following your intuition
- 4Using herbs and supplements
- 5Releasing suppressed emotions
- 6Increasing positive emotions
- 7Embracing social support
- 8Deepening your spiritual connection
- 9Having strong reasons for living
- 10Exercising
What is striking about this list is that only two factors are physical (diet and exercise). The remaining eight are psychological, emotional, relational, or spiritual. This does not mean that diet and exercise are unimportant — they are foundational. But it suggests that the inner dimensions of healing carry enormous weight.
At ThriveThroughCancer, the Radical Remission framework is woven into our coaching programmes. We do not promise outcomes — no ethical coach can. But we do believe that engaging with these factors gives your body and mind the best possible environment for healing.
The research is not prescriptive. It is invitational. It asks: what would it look like to take radical responsibility for your healing — not by blaming yourself for getting sick, but by actively participating in your recovery?
