BOARD of DIRECTORS

NORMAN FRITZ, PRESIDENT, CANCER CONTROL SOCIETY graduated in 1949 from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Prior to that he was awarded a membership in Sigma Tau, which is an honorary engineering fraternity. After a career in Aerospace Engineering including designs for several vehicles, he left engineering in 1977 to work full time at establishing the Gerson Therapy.

His interest in physical health increased tremendously in 1964 when he met Mrs. Cecil Hoffman who was the Founder of International Association of Cancer Victims & Friends. Through this association, Mr. Fritz discovered “the second world” of numerous suppressed therapies which appeared to him scientifically more valid than most of the therapies used by orthodox medicine. He was on the original Board of the International Association Of Cancer Victims & Friends, (IACVF) in 1964, and for many years served as Vice-President, then as President. He was editor and then writer for the Cancer News Journal. Norman was one of the pioneers in developing IACVF and the first to start a chapter. He is President of Cancer Control Society.

In 1974 (15 years after Dr. Gerson’s death) he began a project to get the Gerson Therapy established – to teach physicians and the public how to heal and prevent “incurable” diseases, to further develop the Gerson Therapy and to create Gerson Therapy Hospitals. He asked Dr. Gerson’s daughter, Charlotte, to join him in that project. In 1977 he helped to establish the first of the Gerson Hospitals in Mexico. In 1978 he initiated the Gerson Institute of which he was Vice-President, until his termination in 1995.
FRANK COUSINEAU, VICE-PRESIDENT, CANCER CONTROL SOCIETY attended Stanislaus State College, Turlock, California, majoring in History and English. Frank was only months away from obtaining his teaching degree when his mother developed cancer for the third time. The frustration from futile attempts at arresting this disease caused Frank and his family to investigate available alternatives to “cut, burn and poison.” This search led to Dr. Ernesto Contreras at his Centro Medico del Mar Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico.

Metabolic therapy and a change in diet provided relief from pain and eased his mother’s passing.

Frank’s involvement in Alternative Therapies was increased when he married Dr. Contreras’s secretary. They now live in Modesto where they are the creators and owners of Life Support, which supplies nutritional supplements primarily to Physicians who practice Metabolic Therapy.

Frank organizes tours to the Alternative Cancer Clinics in Tijuana, Mexico 4 times a year or upon request. Information and reservations may be obtained by calling him at (209) 529-4697 in Modesto, California.
LORRAINE ROSENTHAL, CO-FOUNDER, CANCER CONTROL SOCIETY received her B.A. in Zoology in 1958 at the University of California Berkeley. She has worked at the Osteopathic School and the City of Hope in Los Angeles as a Lab Technician in cancer research. After observing and reading literature on cancer in connection with nutrition she was convinced that we must go back to natural foods if we are to stop degenerative diseases. Therefore, she opened a health food store called Oasis of Health, which was conveniently located across from Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Hollywood. In 1965, she met Cecil Hoffman, Founder of the International Association of Cancer Victims & Friends (IACVF) and became very interested in Laetrile. She served on the Board of the IACVF since 1966 and did much of the pioneer work through the Los Angeles Chapter, which is now called Cancer Control Society, of which she is the Treasurer of the Executive Board as a full time volunteer. She has also been Convention Director for over 30 years.

Lorraine was also responsible for the production of two documentary films Nature’s Answer to Cancer and the National Health Federation (NHF) documentary Action for Survival starring Ralph Nader and Adelle Davis. These films have been shown nationwide.
