Frequently Asked Questions1 - I have read all the material on your website and would like to go further. What now? For more specific help, call FACT, 10am - 4 pm, Monday - Friday at: (212) 741-2790. The information from FACT, a non-profit, educational organization, is based on 30 years of close contact with top clinicians around the world - people with long years of clinical experience with a wide range of patients. The extensive feedback from literally thousands of patients who have undergone just about every known treatment - conventional and alternative - has led to a unique understanding of what works, what doesn't, and why. FACT, a non-profit organization, shares this information with no vested interest. It's role is to serve the patient as a clearinghouse - to cut through the overwhelming mass of information and misinformation on alternative cancer therapies in order to help individuals make the wisest medical choices possible. The information on our website, hopefully, will make clear that a good biologically-sound therapy is non-specific to the tumor site. FACT's position is that cancer is a systemic disease, i.e., the tumor or abnormal cells are merely a symptom of a bio-chemical imbalance in the body as a whole that must be addressed. Treatments that focus merely on killing cancer cells ignore the cause of the problem - a breakdown in body chemistry causing abnormal cell production. Therefore, a well-designed, individualized metabolic program focuses on the host, not the tumor. That is, such a program provides the body with all the nutritional materials necessary to produce healthy cells, as well as, attend to the correction of any metabolic impairments. 4 - What is FACT's opinion regarding eating animal protein? There are some people who can be vegetarians and others who cannot. It depends on the individual's background. The body in its wisdom tends to adapt to its environment and after generations of meat eating, these people need to have small amounts of meat protein in the diet. A change may take place in the next generation if there is a dietary change toward vegetarianism in this generation. 5 - What is FACT's opinion about hydrazine sulfate? Hydrazine sulfate is toxic! There are a few toxic therapies labeled "alternative" like hydrazine sulfate, which have not been accepted by the conventional medical establishment, such as selenium, Cancell/Cantron, and others. These are not biologically-sound therapies. FACT's position on what should be called "alternative" is that the material be biologically safe and effective. Hydrazine sulfate is a chemical made from rocket fuel. It should be categorized as chemotherapy. Since the reason for our existence is to support therapies that improve the physiological condition of the patient, hydrazine sulfate would violate our concept of healing. It starves cancer cells, as most chemotherapies do, and since the system cannot be selective, it starves healthy cells as well. This is destructive to the patient and, therefore, would hinder recovery. It would interfere with the rebalancing of body chemistry which is vital to restoring healthy cell production. 6 - I hear so much about soy these days for the cancer patient. Is this a good idea? See link at the bottom of the FACT main page: "Myths & Truths About Soy - Westin A. Price Foundation." 7 - What is the purpose of this website? FACT has developed an enormous collection of data relative to biologically-sound cancer systems that have produced good, long-term results. We would like to present as much of this information on this web site as possible. Because of the great degree of misinformation and confusion in the alternative cancer area today and the depth and subtlety of a true biologically-sound approach to health restoration and disease prevention, we would like to begin gradually with a firm foundation. 8 - What is the answer to cancer? Healthy cell production is the answer to cancer. The system to effect a repair is complex because no two cancer patients are biochemically identical. Well-trained practitioners, understanding interrelationships and interdependencies, i.e., the physiology of the whole body, know how to individualize a program. A biological approach to controlling cell production is far from a simplistic or unsophisticated method of healing. Indeed, the breadth of knowledge required by the doctor to address each patient's unique physiology returns medicine to the real art celebrated by Hippocrates, the father of medicine. |
