ROUND 1: RESEARCH

To start the project, we researched organiztions or social issues that were interesting or important to us.

Innocence Project Research

We exonerate the innocent through DNA testing and reform the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. • Jailhouse Informants • Inadequate Defense • Misused Forensic Science • Access to Post-Conviction DNA Testing • False Confessions • Eye Witness Misidentification

Netflix Documentary- The Central Park Five

Robert DuBoise was exonerated from all charges in the 1983 rape and murder of a young woman in Tampa, Florida. DuBoise was released from prison on Aug. 27 after new DNA testing on evidence from the victim’s rape kit that was thought to have been destroyed, excluded him as the assailant and identified another individual.

The Truth about Cancer Research

Issue: FDA only approves chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation as cancer treatments. They don’t allow mainstream healthcare to accept or promote natural alternatives. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths are attributed to cancer, and more than a third of all humans will develop cancer in their lifetime. Unfortunately, the conventional cancer treatments may be more likely to kill you than the cancer itself. In fact, chemotherapycan actually cause new cancers! Because the medical industrial complex has such an immense influence over Western medicine, cancer patients are often given little choice when it comes to treatment. Doctors will tell you how long you have to live, and insist that chemo, radiation, and surgery are your only chance. But what these doctors don’t tell you is that there are a number of ways to treat and beat cancer naturally! Drug manufacturers will promote their new cancer treatment as a miracle cure, but these drugs are expensive and won’t fix the underlying cause of the disease. In fact, some of the most promising cancer treatments have been outlawed in the United States! That’s because there’s more money to be made treating patients than curing them. The cancer industry generates well over $100 billion each year. “At TTAC, we’ve shared testimony from hundreds of doctors, researchers, and patients about how a holistic cancer treatment is the best way to treat the entire body – instead of just the symptoms. Our bodies are unique, and finding the right cancer treatment for you is essential.” This is important to me because I lost my mom this past spring to cholangiocarcinoma liver cancer. Doctors told her she wasn’t allowed to get surgery without going through chemotherapy due to FDA regulations. But in her case, chemotherapy doesn’t fight against her cancer, so it would’ve just been weakening her and killing her good cells.
