Good morning. We want to hear the bad news or the good news first. Good time to tell you the bad news.

Cancer costs the most in disability and lost life.

And I really excited to find out that the establishment is now starting to tell you that cancer is a major problem. Give me an example. In the year 2000 and eight and I have to read these these statistics because they're so unbelievable. Seven point six million people died because of cancer and twelve point four million were diagnosed with cancer. If you read any of the magazines and newspapers, you'll see that on television they're advertising these cancer clinics all over the place because it's big business. Here's one says, United, we win. Cancer is big. U.S. oncology is bigger. And it says they touch eight hundred and fifty thousand Americans every year that have cancer. And it goes on and on. In fact, in the year 2000 and at nine, we spent fifty one billion dollars on drugs against cancer. Fifty one billion. So you can see it's a big business. It's a major business. And unfortunately, the media is controlled by their advertisers. And guess who their advertisers are? Anybody? The drug companies, of course. Fact, if you have an opportunity in this country, just watch any of the major networks or even some of the so-called minor networks. One evening I counted seven out of 10 of these ads are for drugs.

And it's interesting that by the end of the evening, you're saying yourself, my goodness, it's all over for me. I've got every known disease from IBS, the dandruff, the back pains. I can't sleep. I can't get up. It's unbelievable. I mean. Get up. Leave that up to you anyway. So what can we do about it? Well, we can do a lot about it because first of all, there has been all kinds of research showing that we can do something to counteract the problem without using the chemotherapeutic drugs, radiations and surgery that you might have seen just recently. One of our principal actors, Michael Douglas, just was, I think, misdiagnosed as a good word. His wife is pretty angry about it. He went to a bunch of different physicians, oncologists, and he didn't find his problem. Now we find that he has a walnut shaped tumor in his throat and he is in stage four of throat cancer.

But he says, well, we can beat it because I'm going to use radiation, chemotherapy. And if all else fails surgery. See, that's the whole thing about this country. We have no real alternatives. We have to go along with
