More Description

Ruth Sackman (1915-2008) was a trailblazer, indeed, a warrior, for a different concept and treatment of cancer. For nearly 40 years, as president/co-founder of the Foundation for Advancement in Cancer Therapy (F.A.C.T.), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational organization (est. 1971), she counseled doctors and patients worldwide about nontoxic, biologically-sound therapies, helping countless numbers of people achieve long-term recovery. When Ruth started out in the 70s, the ¿alternative¿ scene was very different from today. In those pre-Internet times, reliable information on unconventional treatments was very hard to come by. Most people assumed the legal protocols ¿ surgery, chemo, radiation ¿ were their only options and the medical establishment was very quick to condemn anything else as ¿quackery.¿ But Ruth was unshakeable in making the logical case that therapy should focus on improving the condition of the whole body, rather than the conventional emphasis on killing cancer cells as the answer to cancer. Ruth¿s voice is unique ¿ fearless, authoritative, yet plain-spoken and practical. Healing Cancer contains a wide range of her writings on subjects of great value to anyone seeking to take charge of their health. She is powerful in her understanding of the body¿s incredible self-healing capacity, when given proper support, and in making sense of the information and misinformation overload we confront in our hyper-paced world. In the Introduction, Consuelo Reyes, her protégé of 20 years, relates the gripping tale of how Ruth became a beloved expert on ¿alternative cancer therapy,¿ a term she initiated. Consuelo also provides chapter notes/updates, but Ruth¿s writings are the heart and soul of this book ¿ best read carefully and often for maximum wisdom.
