And my mom, she has a thing with her skin is really thin and very stretchy.

And she has a lot of issues now that she's older.

And also she had a lot of illness growing up.

She was sick all the time.

She used to call them her viruses, but she gets them every two to three days without being exposed to anybody, just being at home.

So that's interesting.

And you start thinking about, you know, where this disease came from.

And I think that it's time to be done with the pathogen model of disease that we teach in med schools.

And that was a big part of Western medicine, that the theory that pathogens cause disease.

And if you can eliminate the pathogen, you eliminate the disease.

And that was revolutionary and changed the face of medicine and the health of the planet back in the 19th century.

But now we have eliminated pathogens because we have, I mean, we haven't eliminated them, but we have antibiotics and we have antivirals and a lot of those are imminently treatable.

But now we need to think about disease as, I like to think of it as, you start with a genetic predisposition, like cancer.

You've got one hit to a gene.

It's not enough to cause disease.

And then something happens.

It's an insult, right?

It damages that gene or it damages another gene.

So now you've got the Swiss cheese effect, right?

And it triggers a disease.
