FOUNDATION FOR ALTERNATIVE CANCER THERAPIES LTD

The FOUNDATION FOR ADVANCEMENT IN CANCER THERAPY (also known as Foundation for Alternative Cancer Therapies) or F.A.C.T., was established in 1971, and is the creator of the documentary film Rethinking Cancer. We are a federally approved 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization. Ruth Sackman, the co-founder was featured in the film and was president of FACT until her death in December 2008 at age 93. She organized the foundation after watching helplessly as her daughter, Arlene, diagnosed with acute leukaemia in 1970, suffered through chemotherapy, becoming progressively weaker until succumbing to the disease. Ruth felt there had to be a better way and literally travelled the world to find it. For the next 37 years she helped hundreds of cancer patients in the U.S. and worldwide return to healthy lives, as well as educate many more about prevention and treatment of chronic disease. Ruth’s yardstick for success was always long-term recovery, i.e., at least (minimum) 10 years cancer-free.
