How many people think? That the war on cancer, so-called war on cancer, is being successful. Raise your hand, please. Nobody thinks it's being successful yet. Billions of dollars. And many administration and marches across the country raising money. Have gone to the war on cancer. Supposably. And it is not being solved in California. One of the leading states in the nation that influences the other states.
We have a law in California that essentially says chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are the conventional and therefore the only legal treatment for cancer permitted in the state. To do otherwise is the first two times is a misdemeanor and the third time is a felony offense. We do have physicians that have been arrested and put in jail for a number of. Meaning alternative treatments of cancer.
We have two physicians right now that are facing action before the medical board that we're working to change in that process. To do that. Our organization, which has been around for 20 years now, we've successively passed the bill that allows nonconventional treatment generally because it's separate law and cancer, but nonconventional treatment in California is legal. Now, we passed that bill about eight years ago. We also. We also worked very hard with a California naturopathic doctors to get there, Bill, and in California now for the last three years, they've men licensed in California and we have over 200 of them practice in California that can do natural treatments under that process.

The dietitians bill three times now. That would have been illegal for anybody but them to give advice on diet and health.
Otherwise, the people up here who speak about diet and health will be in violation of state law in other states. They have arrested P.H. D level nutritionists for giving advice on diets. And that law has been changed in California. Otherwise, we're becoming one of the most advanced and liberal states in the nation and other states are beginning to follow that example. However, we've got the cancer problem. And we believe that needs to be resolved.
But it's not going to be an easy bill to pass. Our bill has several features. The first feature of the bill is Will Make Integrative Treatment of Cancer Legal in California.
That means all the treatment modalities you hear about here will become legal to be done in California. The second part of it, it will make it legal for allopathic physicians and nature
