Who should be plugged in here?
Ready to roll? I'm plugged in. Transport out, its transport out. Function here. So we're up. We're good.
Oh, I know we're gonna have fun here today, already had somebody check me on the way up and said, you know, Dr. Quillan, I just ran out of my vitamin B 12.
Can I take two B sixes instead?
We got a good group here.
So, Herman, the senior citizen, is laying there on his deathbed dying from cancer.
And he looks up at his wife and she's holding his hand and he says, honey, you've been with me through this whole cancer thing. And years before that, you were with me through that whole heart attack thing and recovering from that. And years before that, you were with me through that that whole car accident, marijuana broke all those bones and you were there with me through rehab.

OK. All right.
What we're talking about over the next few minutes, I hope, is that too often in cancer, the cancer patient sits in the middle like a child in an ugly custody battle, overhears the oncologist who says don't take those nutrients because they'll neutralize the benefits of my chemo and radiation. And over here, the nutritionist says, don't take any of that medical therapy. It's just nothing but poison. And what we find is ninety nine percent of cancer patients in America are somehow slotted into using Medicare or their insurance, meaning they're going to get usual and customary care, meaning they're going to get chemo, radiation and surgery. And I'm not saying that's the best thing, but that's what we got. And given that what I find my important message
