Ladies and gentlemen, as I mentioned, the next part of the program is going to be very short. The topic of this is actually a third opinion, an alternative therapy centers directory. And my friend, cousin, no present Cancer Control Society and also present the cancer victims and friends. And I'm I'm here to talk about a book that was written by a good friend of mine, John Fink. In fact, occasionally people even say that we look alike. And I consider that certainly a compliment, because I think John is now a, you know, a good looking man, a handsome man, but a very talented writer.

And if you do nothing other than to go into the the table of contents. You will see that it lists. I get to it here. Treatment centers and these are treatment centers all over the world. And it gives you a brief history.
