The EAST BAY SKEPTICS SOCIETY will present
a free, colorful slide-lecture and discussion titled:

    C A N C E R   Q U A C K E R Y
--------------------------------
 CHOICE, CURE and COMMON SENSE
  
=> How good is alternative medicine?
=> How effective are special diets?
=> How qualified is your doctor?
 
by   Dr. JERRY LEWIS, M.D.
      Professor of Medicine and Pathology, U.C. Davis
  
Contemporary medicine is still unable to prevent or cure many types of
cancer.  Victims are easily induced by fear, desperation and confusion to try
therapies that have been proven ineffective by mainstream medicine.  Our
speaker will discuss the consequences of ambivalant and permissive social
attitudes toward these therapies and their (frequently sincere) promoters.

DR. LEWIS has been a prominent campaigner for standards and accountability in
healthcare.  He is currently the head of the State of California Cancer
Advisory Board.  Bring your questions!
 
TIME and PLACE
--------------
Friday, FEBRUARY 26, in 159 Mulford Hall, UC Berkeley, 
from 8:00 to 10:00 pm.  All are invited, there is no charge.
  
THE TALK is part of a continuing monthly series sponsored by the EAST BAY
SKEPTICS SOCIETY, a non-profit public interest group dedicated to advancing
community appreciation of the cultural benefits of rational thinking.  For
more information on our lecture, membership or education program,
