So- We had this – I was reading – I don't remember – one of my dad's medical journals, like JAMA or whatever it was, and read up on this phenomenon called the subcutaneous silent period. Now, remember, I've killed a lot of brain cells, and this was 30 years ago, so I don't remember all of it. But basically – It is a silent period in your synapse, in your nerve conduction.

When you touch a painful stimuli, your nerves actually go blank for a second. The signals to your muscle telling your muscles to contract. And what that is, it's before your brain can even process, I'm in pain, your nerves have told your hand to let go. So if you've ever reacted to something quicker than your brain, you can actually process what's happening. That's basically why it happens.

Well, I theorized that if this is true that in instances of diseases like a myotrophic lateral sclerosis or Parkinson's or maybe Alzheimer's, anything that affects cognitive function or nerves, there might be a delay in that. And well, we found out that was true, that there was a delay. And so that was, it's been tons of research have been done since on this.

Like it's a whole field and I doubt I'm the first person that thought of it, but I definitely did my own study and it definitely made it into the general neurology. My dad connected me with this neurologist. I forget what drugs dad was selling for Pfizer at the time, but he knew the neurologist at the University of Mississippi.

And this is back before the Pharma Act passed, I think, which means the Pharma Act is because drug companies were essentially paying doctors to write their drugs. And so this is back when you could still give docs tons of money. And so I'm sure there was some grant involved. He's like, help my kid do this idea.

So he got me access to all these machines, electroencephalographs and stimulus, and I don't even know what they're all called. I got to shock my mom. She was one of my test subjects. I had a couple of the Nero interns up there that were my test subjects. I mean, it was really cool. I had a great life ahead of me and just for no reason at all decided to piss it away.

So it didn't actually get published until I was 14, maybe 15, and I was in custody in Utah when that happened. Are you serious? That's how quick it happened.
