Our Mission

Our mission is to change the cancer conversation by advancing integrative oncology in Canada through high-quality research, education, patient-centered advocacy, and direct financial support that improves access to integrative care today.

The Parmar Foundation is dedicated to advancing rigorous, evidence-based research on integrative and naturopathic approaches to health and illuminating therapies and practices that are widely used yet often underfunded — including hyperthermia, intravenous therapies, vaccines, nutrition, plant medicines, repurposed drugs, mind-body practices, exercise, sleep science, and others.

Our Vision

A world where all safe and effective therapies — conventional and integrative — are supported by robust scientific evidence and equitable access, giving people access to the full spectrum of health options that serve them best.

The Parmar Foundation’s mandate is to:

• advance evidence-based integrative oncology by funding high-quality research

• educating healthcare professionals and the public

• improving patient access to safe and effective supportive integrative therapies.
