Create Cures Foundation
Mission
Create Cures Foundation is a charitable and educational 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the purpose of finding cures for serious diseases and educating the global community about healthy living based on science. Guided by the vision of our Founder, Prof. Valter Longo, Ph.D., we believe everyone, including patients facing serious illness and financial hardship, should have the opportunity to live a long and healthy life
About The Foundation’s Initiatives
The Nutrition and Longevity Clinic of Create Cures Foundation in Santa Monica, California, specializes in helping patients, primary care providers, and specialists combine standard-of-care therapies with integrative science-based nutritional and fasting interventions. While the Foundation is dedicated to supporting individuals facing serious illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and autoimmunity, it also places a strong emphasis on disease prevention and educating adults and children about nutrition and lifestyles that promote healthy longevity. The Foundation’s treatment protocols are based on the 5 Pillars of Longevity and on Professor Longo’s clinical research. The 5 Pillars integrate evidence from basic research, epidemiology, clinical studies, centenarian research, and the study of complex systems. Together, they guide interventions aimed at addressing the root causes of disease, promoting cellular rejuvenation, and supporting healthy longevity, rather than focusing solely on treating disease after it has developed or reached advanced stages.
Leaders in Nutrition and Fasting for Disease Treatment.
The Foundation is supported in part by Prof. Valter Longo’s royalties from the documentary Fasting and Longevity Revolution and by the author’s proceeds from his books, including the international bestsellers The Longevity Diet and Fasting Cancer.
