Well, thank you all very much. I want to thank my friends at the Cancer Control Society. This is my fourth or fifth speech here. First time, I think, was 1980. And I'm going to order a copy of that tape to see what I was saying back in those days. I'm sure I thought I knew more than that. I think I know now. It's not false modesty. Maybe it's a lack of loss of brain cells as I get older. William Butler Yates was, of course, famous Irish poet. And he he had a poem that I always loved called Why Should Not Old Men Be Mad? I'm not an old man yet, but I'm getting there and I'm not mad yet. But I'm I'm getting there in both senses of the word. I'm going to talk to you today about the war on cancer and about alternative cancer treatments. But I'm not going to give you a litany of treatments to take of supplements to go out and buy of clinics to go to, run to and so forth. What what what really fascinates me and what I think you really need to know is to start to develop the mechanism by which to figure out which treatments are most likely to be effective for you or not. And also to understand what is really happening in our society with the war on cancer. My own tenure in this fight began, as was indicated in the in the citation at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. I was the science writer and later the assistant director of public affairs and discovered that we were doing experiments on Laetrile or AMYGDALE and in animals. These experiments, as I discovered, were turning out highly positive in the in the laboratory. And we in public affairs were instructed to tell the public to tell you and people 30 years ago that the test had, in fact, come out negative. I refused to do this. I did everything that I could to publicize this fact. And I was fired in 1977, as they said in The New York Times, for failing to carry out his most basic job responsibility, which I guess it means to lie for your boss when your boss tells you to lie. I was not able constitutionally to do this. And and so I stood up at a press conference and denounced them. And since that time, I guess I had the I had the choice at that moment to. Basically, forget about this unfortunate experience or to go forward with the examination of.

Cancer treatments in general, alternative treatments, but also conventional treatments. And

Non-toxic
