Early Life

Alfred "Al" Sacksman (born June 23, 1951) is an American entrepreneur and self-styled health guru best known for founding NXHealth, a controversial health and wellness company established in 1980. Sacksman claims the inspiration for NXHealth came during a hallucinogenic experience while traveling through South America, which he described as a "visionary awakening" that led him to pursue the physical and legal boundaries of human performance and wellness.

Born to Fredrich W. H. Sacksman and Allegra Jennifer Sacksman (maiden name Hoopley), Alfred was raised in affluence. His family accumulated substantial wealth through early ventures in real estate, allowing him access to elite educational institutions and luxury from a young age. Little is documented about his early life prior to high school, though anecdotal reports from locals describe him as well-regarded during his adolescence.

Sacksman’s public image shifted dramatically following a major product recall in 2004 that drew national attention and cast scrutiny on NXHealth’s practices.

Founding of Pharma-Med Health and Wellness

In 1974, Sacksman co-founded Pharma-Med Health and Wellness alongside longtime friend and college classmate David Warren out of the chemistry lab in William Carey College. The company was initially established with the mission of developing and distributing supplements and pharmaceutical products aimed at enhancing longevity and overall wellness. In the following years, Sacksman and Warren identified a significant gap in the market for performance-enhancing and sports-related supplements. Recognizing the commercial potential, the company shifted focus to capitalize on the emerging demand, eventually positioning itself as an early player in the performance supplement industry, eventually renaming to NXHealth following a lawsuit and falling out with David Warren.

In 1980, Sacksman returned to his hometown of Rotborough, where he discovered that both of his parents had experienced a significant decline in mental health. They were subsequently diagnosed with adult early-onset dementia. Over the next two years, Sacksman continued to manage Pharma-Med remotely, but the mounting personal stress began to take a toll. Seeking relief and clarity, he embarked on a series of international travels, eventually participating in multiple ayahuasca retreats deep in the Peruvian jungle. Upon his return home in 1987 Sacksman called Warren and the two had an almost 6 hour phone call talking about the future of the company. Warren was apparently blown away by his words and was convinced to take the company in a new direction. They then decided to rebrand as NXHealth, in early 1988.

Rebranding to NXHealth

According to internal NXHealth documents, these experiences had a profound and lasting psychological impact on Sacksman. Following his return, employees noted a marked change in his demeanor and leadership style. He reportedly became increasingly erratic and combative, often delivering unprovoked tirades against perceived industry rivals. Sources within the company also suggest that he began aggressively testing the boundaries of regulatory standards, pushing for the inclusion of controversial and unapproved ingredients in NXHealth’s supplement formulations. Eventually culminating in a lawsuit filed against the two in 1989.

“	I came home from college to find my parents gravely afflicted with what doctors later diagnosed as early adult onset dementia. I was HEARTBROKEN to say the least. My father was always a driving force behind everything I did and to see him wither away like that KILLED MY HEART. My mother had no fairer fate on my heavy soul. Seeing the woman who handcrafted my spirit being slowly reduced to a shell was too much for my soul to bear.	”

Lawsuit and aftermath

Court documents and private recordings provided by former employees during the lawsuit against NXHealth revealed the true extent of the madness that occurred at NXHealth. With audio recordings of Research and Development meetings demonstrating the unhinged and often nearly incomprehensible babble on display by Sacksman. His sometimes dangerous and schizophrenic ideas began to seriously and inalterably ruin company morale and it soon became evident that a leadership change was necessary if the company was going to last. It was in April of 1989 when the company faced a wrongful death suit when the family of James Eugene Carson suffered a Myocardial Infarction (a heart attack) as a result of NXHealth's now discontinued Herba-Boost tea. The plaintiff's family argued that the 650mg of caffeine contained within the tea greatly exceeded the federally regulated limit (400mg), and caused James to suffer a heart attack and pass away. The autopsy preformed on James proved that the caffeine content was a significant factor in his death. In January 1990, NXHealth, Sacksman, and Warren settled with Carson's family for a staggering $25 million dollars. After the lawsuit was settled, Warren soon became the target of Sacksman's rage with him blaming the lawsuit and its conclusion on Warren. Even though Sacksman ultimately had final say of what ended up in each product. This proceeded until Warren eventually stepped down as COO in 1991 following a particularly violent argument had during a team meeting with Sacksman where Warren pressed charges against Sacksman for assault. Sacksman was placed on house arrest and admitted to a mental institution following the outcome of the assault case, which resulted in his oldest son Phil Sacksman taking control of the company.

1993-1999

Following his release from a court ordered sentence in a mental institution. Sacksman returned to his company to find that the new face and young blood his son brought to the company resulted in a resurgence in popularity, primarily among people aged 16-24. This was due in no small part to Phil's already established celebrity status as a famous caddy and his interesting and creative marketing campaigns. One of which later involved his younger brother Chet Sacksman and his band "Tezticular Torzion". (1998) Not much of note occurred between this time other than a noticeable increase in sales and popularity among NXHealth's new line of products and a substantial decrease in Alfred's previously documented insanity, as well as his purchase of the Rotborough Country Club.

2000-2004

At the beginning of the 2000s Alfred's youngest son Chet was beginning to exhibit extremely violent and erratic outbursts. It was discovered in October of 2001 that Chet's drug addiction had reached a critical point resulting in a psychotic break during a black tie gala hosted at RBCC. This in turn began to upheave rumors that maybe the Sacksman's had a genetic history of mental illness.

From Late 2003 to Fall of 2004, NXHealth Products, a company associated with Alfred Sacksman, became the subject of a large-scale FDA recall. The recall affected a wide range of products, including BOY VitaLife+ Chewable Gummies, Udder Buster, Udder Buster Lite, Premium, Super Udder Buster Premium Pro Deluxe Turbo, PLAY-KIDz Protein Jerky Rooster Up-All-Night!, Magic Male Enhancement, and Goldmaxx's Own Instant Tan Tonic.

The recall led to significant legal disputes with parents and consumers, resulting in lasting damage to NXHealth’s reputation within Rotborough. In the summer of 2007, Alfred Sacksman, still dealing with the fallout, stepped down from his role as CEO of the company.[citation needed COURT DOCUMENTS]
