Frank Cousineau is president of the Cancer Control Society which disseminates information about alternative and complementary medicine. He 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. Surgery and chemotherapy proved to be of no use, so he took his mother to Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr. in Tijuana, Mexico, for alternative therapy. Not only did it prolong his mother’s life and make her passing more comfortable, he met his future wife there.
Frank’s involvement in alternative therapies increased dramatically when he married Dr. Contreras’ secretary. In 1980 Frank and his wife formed Life Support to supply alternative hospitals, clinics, and doctors with natural innovative products.
Since 1984, Frank has organized and led tours of the Tijuana Cancer Clinics under the auspices of the Cancer Control Society.
