A new documentary gives viewers a look at how five cancer patients chose to use non-toxic, biological therapies to overcome serious illness.

"Rethinking Cancer" follows the therapeutic and psychological journeys of the men and women who chose alternative cancer treatments to battle the disease. All five of the patients have been disease-free for as many as 37 years.

The 56-minute educational film introduces the public and the medical community to what some believe to be the best, most natural ways to help the body fight disease – specifically balanced nutrition and detoxification systems that have been used successfully for decades.

"This film brings into sharp focus vital issues rarely addressed by conventional medicine – the root cause of serious disease, the inherent toxicity of prevailing treatments, food as medicine, the importance of detoxification and the subtle role of the mind in the healing process.
These patients’ stories also illustrate another very important message: that the success of bio-repair depends greatly on the understanding and personal responsibility of the patient towards their treatment," says executive producer Consuelo Reyes.

The patients highlighted in the documentary sought guidance from the Foundation for Advancement in Cancer Therapy, a non-profit that has served as an "information grapevine" connecting patients with educational materials and practitioners to guide them in energizing their body’s own healing powers since 1971.
