It took I'd like to thank everybody for coming. It sounds OK, but go with me.
I'm going to be talking about medicinal mushrooms and cancer. This is a very, very large topic. We could talk about any one of these mushrooms probably for a couple of hours. So, unfortunately, like probably most of the previous speakers, we're going to have to hurry through a lot of material. My goal in this process is really going to be to try to pique your interest in exploring the possibility and potential healing, give some medicinal mushrooms. As you see, as we get into it. There's a really wide range of applications that are available to us as we look at these medicinal mushrooms.

You know, somebody if they have cancer, they talk about liver cancer and they isolate the liver as if it's separate from rest of the body. They'll talk about circulatory conditions. They'll talk about problems within the lymphatic system. All these things tend to separate the body more and more. And what I propose in the way I work when I work with individuals. So I work in a very holistic manner. And I think it's very, very important. And I would argue almost essential goal in approaching any of these chronic diseases and
