Thank you.
It's a pleasure to be here. The music really gets to us, maybe we'll do some break dancing. What do you think? My sincere appreciation to Lorraine Rosenthal, who is the godmother of choices in cancer treatment. She's done a wonderful job.
Twenty five minutes to talk about my 20 years experience with cancer patients is going to be about as satisfying as phone sex. So you'll have to realize there's limitations to what we can do here. However, we'll do our best and before you through, I'm sure that you'll have some knowledge and some inspiration. And I hope you walk away with some take home lessons. But in case you don't. I've got my book Beating Cancer with Nutrition. Another book and a audio C.D., which is a 50 dollar value that I'll be selling after my talk in the back for ten dollars as a gift to you folks for giving up your Labor Day weekend.
So enough of that great little story, the famous private investigator, Sherlock Holmes. Is out camping with his good friend, Dr. John Watson. And they cook a meal over an open fire and they share a bottle of wine and they tuck themselves into their tent for a good night's sleep. And in the middle of the night, Sherlock elbows Watson, he says, Watson, look up. What do you see? Well, I see millions and millions of stars. Very good, Watson. And what does that mean, Watson? Watson puts on his thinking cap. He says, Why media? Logically, I believe that means we'll have fair weather tomorrow.
Philosophically, it believe that means that we are vast in this universe theologically. God is an incredible creator. Astronomically, I can see that we're on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. Astrologically, we're in Mercury. Mercury is in Venus rising. That's very good. Very good. What does it mean to you, Holmes? You said Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent. And it's a cute story, but it tells a lot about what's going on in cancer treatment in this country. The obvious is someone had stolen the tent. Watson goes to these brilliant deductions, forgetting the obvious. In America, we're treating one point four million cancer patients will be newly diagnosed each year. We spend one hundred and ten million to treat roughly four million patients at any given time. And we ignore the fact that most of them are dying of malnutrition. Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent. So before we're through, I hope to add to the component of nutrition, of the action of drugs. We know little yet. We put them into bodies about which we know less
