ISBN: 0757000932 ISBN-13: 9780757000935 Publisher: Square One Publishers OUR PRICE: $15.26 Product Type: Paperback Published: August 2003 Annotation: For over thirty years, the Foundation for Advancement in Cancer Therapy (FACT) has acted as a consumer advocacy group, educating cancer patients about alternative therapies and their rights as patients. Although traditional traditional medical groups have often ignored or disregarded the groundbreaking work of complementary medical researchers, FACT has provided these pioneers with a platform to be heard. The foundation's intention has never been to discredit conventional medicine, but rather to scrutinize alternative therapies and enable cancer patients and their families to make informed decisions regarding treatment options. Unfortunately, there still remains a major gap in the distribution of information on noninvasive treatments. To meet this challenge, Ruth Sackman, cofounder and President of Fact, has written Rethinking Cancer. Here, you'll find pertinent information on a wide variety of topics, including the major role of nutrition in health, the methods available to repair the body's biological breakdowns, and strategies for achieving detoxification. The author provides valid research and offers specific advice on treating the body as a whole, rather than treating just the cancer. |
