The Weston A. Price Foundation, www.westonaprice.org,  is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.

The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism. It supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy formula for infants.
     The Foundation seeks to establish a laboratory to test nutrient content of foods, particularly butter produced under various conditions; to conduct research into the "X Factor," discovered by Dr. Price; and to determine the effects of traditional preparation methods on nutrient content and availability in whole foods.
     The board and membership of the Weston A. Price Foundation stand united in the belief that modern technology should be harnessed as a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our ancestors rather than used as a force destructive to the environment and human health; and that science and knowledge can validate those traditions.
     The Foundation's quarterly journal, Wise Traditions in Food, Farming, and the Healing Arts, is dedicated to exploring the scientific validation of dietary, agricultural and medical traditions throughout the world. It features illuminating and thought-provoking articles on current scientific research; human diets; non-toxic agriculture; and holistic therapies. The journal also serves as a reference for sources of foods that have been conscientiously grown and processed.

<![CDATA[Foundation for Advancement in Cancer Therapy (F.A.C.T.)]]>Thu, 23 Dec 2010 12:55:48 -0800http://www.ourberkshiregreen.com/6/post/2010/12/foundation-for-advancement-in-cancer-therapy-fact-wwwrethinkingcancerorgaboutabout-factphp.htmlPicture
F.A.C.T.'s goal, www.rethinkingcancer.org/about/about-fact.php, is to educate physicians and patients that cancer and chronic degenerative conditions are systemic diseases. FOUNDATION FOR ADVANCEMENT IN CANCER THERAPY (F.A.C.T.), established in 1971, is the sponsor of Rethinking Cancer. They are a federally approved 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization. 

Ruth Sackman, featured in the film, was co-founder and president of F.A.C.T. until her death in December 2008 at age 93. She organized the foundation after watching helplessly as her daughter, Arlene, diagnosed with acute leukemia in 1970, suffered through chemotherapy,  becoming progressively weaker until succumbing to the disease. Ruth felt there had to be a better way and literally traveled 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.
     F.A.C.T.'s goal is to educate physicians and patients about a different concept of cancer and chronic degenerative conditions: whether dealing with breast cancer, lymphoma, Lyme disease — it is a systemic disease. Tumors or abnormal cells are symptoms of a biochemical imbalance in the body, and that imbalance can be corrected with a well-designed, individualized metabolic program. A non-toxic, biologically sound program, focusing on the whole body and not just the tumor, can provide all the materials and conditions necessary to produce healthy cells and restore well being.
     There is no magic bullet, no miracle drug or botanical, that heals. The primary tools for a comprehensive, metabolic approach are 1) a balanced diet of whole, unprocessed, preferably organic foods and 2) detoxification (to efficiently relieve the body of toxins released into the bloodstream as the immune system becomes energized to do its work). Attention must also be paid to optimum function of all the body organs and glands, as well as skeletal integrity, hormonal  balance, stress management, etc. F.A.C.T.'s long experience has shown that for those comfortable with this concept and willing to make the necessary lifestyle changes, the ability of the body to heal can be truly amazing.
