Haven't you? Thank you, Frank. It's a pleasure to be here.
Some of those 15 books actually come with crayons, too. So it's always a pleasure to be here as I was waiting for the long wait to get the elevator down somebody. So what are you doing here? Well, I'm a nutritionist. All that's of interest. I love nutrition. I'm a big fan of nutrition, as a matter of fact. I forgot my vitamin B twelve. Do you think I should take two B sixes instead?
Made sense to me.
We're gonna have a good time here today. There's no question about it. And before we're through, I hope you swallow the sound bite that a well nourished cancer patient can better manage the disease and its therapies and that a healthy human body is self regulating and self repairing. The point is, nobody with cancer is suffering from a deficiency of adriamycin. Nobody with a headache has a deficiency of aspirin. Drew, we're going to move ahead in a very positive direction and hopefully you get some things done. And before I started, I wanted to spend just a minute to celebrate Lorraine Rosenthal, co-founder of Cancer Control Society, for 35 years.
She has been giving us options in cancer treatment.
And Lorraine is a gift from us to you. Living flowers, not dead ones, because you brought life to many people and colorful flowers because this lady always dresses in fluorescent colors. I love them, too. She has brought us options and we applaud you. Thank you. I'll take care of the. Since long before this was politically correct or profitable or even legal, Lorraine has been globe trotting, trying to bring new people options. And I appreciate it. My book, Beating Cancer with Nutrition, I've donated to cases of this to cancer control. They'll be selling them at the book signing station. I'll be out there afterwords. So you'll be donating to a very worthy cause if you buy a book. Let's move ahead.
My outline for the talk.
Where are we going? Cancer in America. We'll give you some basic statistics, limitations of chemo, radiation and surgery. We need to change the underlying cause of the disease in order to enhance the outcome. Nutrition improves outcome and medically treated patients. When you do, it helps to prevent or reverse malnutrition. Reduce toxicity of chemo and radiation. Bolster immune functions. Regulate blood glucose and nutrients. Work as biological response modifiers. Then we'll jump into what should the patient eat. Are supplements of value and what is comprehensive cancer treatment that should include nutrition. That's the direction we're headed. And before I jump into the next slide,
