Thank you. I want to thank the American Control Cancer Control Society for having me and for Lorraine Rosen for inviting me to speak. I feel that this is a very important topic. It might sound mundane by the word detoxify, repair and revitalize your body, but the most important thing is the secondary title called Prevent and or Survive Cancer. Now. I want to do a little screening here. How many in this audience are physicians, standard, allopathic, medically trained physicians? OK. And how many in this audience are chiropractic physicians? Another group. OK. How many here are registered nurses? A larger group. How many are osteopathic physicians? How many are natural pathic physicians? OK. And how many of you are in allied health care professions like, you know, Cohen, hydrotherapy, reflexology, herbal oriental medicine, Rafie Polarity Therapy, Boxx Herbal remedies. I could go on and on from my doctorate in integrative medicine. How many are you in the allied health care?

My brother in law was ushered to the hospital. She had her sixtieth birthday. I know Marvin is older than her by a few years, so we'll call him about 64, a Vietnam vet.
Nice guy. And he was at square dancing yesterday night. And while square dancing, his legs didn't start working. And he sat down, felt better. And then he stood up and then his leg was bad. And then he started having slurred speech. So they rush in to the Louisville University Medical Center and they did an MRI, C.T. of his brain. And they told my sister, everything's fine.
You know, he's not this is not cardiovascular.
He has a normal C.T.. Thank the Lord. An MRI of the brain. And then they proceeded to release him this morning. And they assured my sister there's nothing with a circulation problem wrong. It might be a seizure due to his Vietnam War concussion or whatever, but he has normal C.T. and MRI of the brain. And so what did they give him? They gave him anti seizure medicines. They gave him platelet inhibitor medication to stop clotting in the blood. And they gave him anti cholesterol medication. How many of you do you think when I tell you that his leg wasn't working right and he had a slurred speech, was having a seizure? Raise your hand if you think he had a seizure. All right, Sam. All right. I want to always have an open mind. How many of you think
