So the big cell basically sort of said to the little cell, hey, little guy, you come and make ATP for us, and we'll engulf you and protect you from all that oxygen, and we can coexist.

Effectively, that's what happened. So here you have your original cyanobacteria, like spirulina, gets engulfed by the bigger cell, but instead of digesting it, it coexisted, and that... cyanobacteria, like spirulina, became your mitochondria. It's proven in science. It's called endosymbiotic theory.

So it's no surprise to me that everything that's in algae heals your mitochondria because they're family.

Yes. In fact, we did a small clinical trial with that, a company who does that very thing this summer. The company is called MeScreen, M-E-S-C-R-E-E-N. And you can go online and order their blood test. I think it's $3.99. And they have a number of markers to evaluate the health of your mitochondria. So they determine free radical production and capacity of your mitochondria.

I can't remember all the lists. So we partnered with them in the summertime and did a small clinical trial with women and men over 55, because we figured that's when people are going to have some mitochondria damage. And they did the blood test first. Then we gave them spirulina every day for 30 days. They did another blood test after seven days and another blood test after 30 days.

So we actually haven't written the full paper up yet. We got the results from the first seven days. And the gentleman who was overseeing the study, his name is Hemal Patel. He does all the research. by the way, for Dr. Joe Dispenza. He does all his brain research, right? At the University of Southern California in San Diego. So, you know, pretty good, reputable lab and scientist.

And his comment, and I have a quote, he said I could share this, is that the impact and the improvement in the mitochondria energy and the reduction of free radicals. The only other time he'd seen that kind of significant improvement was when he had done a clinical trial the year before with a group of people and they were doing intermittent fasting for 90 days.

After 90 days, they had similar kinds of improvements after seven days of spirulina. 90 days intermittent fasting got you the same results of seven days of spirulina. Of course, the best would be doing intermittent fasting and the spirulina. Because when you're doing intermittent fasting, what's happening is you have shortened your eating window. Two things occur when you do that.

Your digestion requires 15% of your energy. So there's energy that's freed up, number one. Number two, when you're not flooding your mitochondria with carbs, because ultimately everything gets reduced to glucose, and there's the citric cycle, and then you get into the thing I showed you, the electron transport chain. But if you're not flooding the mitochondria with all these

free radicals that it has to accommodate, it can clean up. But when you're constantly eating in our world, in America, we're constantly snacking and carb load. Carbs have the worst, the highest amount of free radical damage because they have so many that they get spilled out into that mitochondria, which causes it to expand.
