Why is that?

I don't get, you know, traveler's diarrhea or, you know...

When I eat exotic foods in random places, my friends all get sick and I happen not to.

Anecdote, right?

But that's interesting.

There seems to be some kind of gut protective effect.

And that's what they noticed in the mice literature.

They would have an offending agent into the gut and they'd notice that there'd be protection deeper down in the gastric tract from that offending agent.

Because if you think about it, the gut is the most vulnerable part of the body.

It's open to the outside world.

It's a tube that runs through you.

You can eat something and it can completely destroy you.

So you have to have some kind of mechanisms, the prostaglandins, all these different hormones that are made, potentially BPC-157 is part of this robust armory that the gut has to protect itself from further injuries.

So I would love to see some neuropsychiatric BPC studies when it comes to addictions.

There's enough anecdata about people talking about addictions and like, hey, I don't really crave insert drug here.

Not recommending anyone tries that out, but for alcohol or whatever it may be.

It's probably touching the craving mechanism through the gut brain access, because I don't think it's going systemic either.

I think it's locally in the gut, shutting down the neurons from... If you think about it, if BBC is what they claim it is, right?

And that's a big if.

that if you have a noxious agent going into your gut, your body has to have a mechanism to lock down, protect your vital organs, right?
