Thank you. We are. Thank you very much. It's just wonderful to receive this and I will. I would certainly hold it very dear to myself. I'd like to thank our Frank and.
Lorraine, for inviting me and and working all these years and the way that they have to help cancer patients find some alternative ways of dealing with that problem.
Can everybody hear me all right? Yeah. OK, good.
OK, so Lorraine asked me to actually discuss some of the things that we do at the Schachter Center to give you some idea of how a center which focuses on alternatives to cancer treatment. But you works along with in some cases, conventional oncology is how it might work and how it might function. So that's what I'm going to do.

This gives you some idea of the shack, the center. It's well, this is not the shack center. We occupy part of the second floor of this building in Rockland County, which is where in suffering New York and Rockland County. We're about 45 minutes from New York City, not far. And we get patients from the whole metropolitan area. But we also sometimes are getting patients from across the country and so on, too. So this is I just wanted to quickly run through
