Thank you, Doug. Christine Bluck sends his regrets that he couldn't be here, he had some family issues that he had to attend to, and so he asked me to step in for him here today. We do stem cell therapy at our clinic, and there isn't a day that goes by that someone doesn't call with the idea of wanting to come to the clinic for stem cells. And they're dealing with a cancer right now. The state of stem cell therapy in and in cancer is very fluctuate because there are a lot of issues that still have yet to be determined. As far as the one stem cells are appropriate when they're not, for example, stem cells are pluripotent cells that have the ability to differentiate and to keep dividing and become any kind of tissue that the body needs them to be. Unfortunately, also, cancers themselves generate stem cells. So the same growth factors that can stimulate the growth of traditional good stem cells can also stimulate the growth of not such good cells. The cancer stem cells. And so right now, we're in a very critical point in things changing. And so I'm going to present basically an overview of stem cells and cancer and where things are going. And there it does indeed hold a lot of promise.

STEM cells can either promotor fight, fight against various types of cancers, the cancer stem cell can initiate malignant malignancy metastasis just on its own right as stem cell therapies are now being used, inhibit malignancy metastasis.

For example, I just wrote a paper the other day where it was determined that with acute myelogenous leukemia, that stem cells in the bone marrow were actually sleeping.

And the focus of research today is to try and wake up the sleeping stem cells because then we could crowd out the malignant cells themselves. STEM cells are the first cells, the embryo that build new life and stem cells continue to help with growth and tissue repair as we age and slow down after age 40. STEM cells do create more stem cells themselves. So theoretically, the body can repair itself or as long as we live. We view stem cells as kind of repair kit. God had given us for bodies. Praise to Lord Jesus Christ for giving it to us. Without that, we wouldn't be able to continue to heal. But these repair kits that God has given to us can help help us get past a lot of issues in our lives. And also there to help regenerate tissues, tissues. They've been ravaged by cancer. The characteristics of stem cell include its ability for self
