So that's where I would leave that. It's, it's not that the parasite is what drove it. It's that there were a lot of other dominoes that had already fallen over. And that just happened to be the one thing that someone did some testing. They figured out there was something else going on, but Many, many things contribute to that. I don't think it is solely from the parasite.

It's usually other things that are contributing. And it's usually that is, it's like the red herring. It's like, okay, so we do stool testing. Then we pick up, oh, you have a parasite or you've got significant dysbiosis. Oh, by the way, you have H. pylori or you've got SIBO. I mean, there's many things that can create this domino effect. It's usually multifactorial.

I mean, I think you have to take it in context. What are the patient's symptoms? What are they experiencing? What does their blood work look like? Are they dealing with underlying food sensitivities? Are they female or male? Where are they on their female journey? Are they in perimenopause or menopause? I mean, there's a lot that can impact the interpretation of testing?

I think that in many instances, there are circumstances where we need antibiotic therapy for things that we find. As an example, I've had people who've had C. diff, which is an opportunistic infection. Sometimes we just see it in the hospital, but you can see it in the community as well. So I think for a lot of individuals, it is, it is really taking a good history.
