What I'm saying is that 99%, if not 100% of chronic diseases are either directly initiated by gut injury or related to gut injury. So what do we do? So what we do is we need to, first of all, when people come to me, the first thing I do when a chronic problem comes to me is I put them on a gut repair program. Even before I get the blood tests. Really?

If I send blood tests or whatever tests are needed. So I only send tests when they're really needed, in my opinion. Before the blood tests come, many times, already with a gut repair program, by the time the blood results are there and you have the second appointment, the problem is already even much better or completely gone in two or three weeks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, sometimes I do blood work anyways. Okay, but what you're saying is... There's a lot of things to consider, but gut repair is... That's where the Achilles heel of human health exists. And I'm going to explain it to you. Oh, sorry, this is yours. Yeah, I brought a model of a part of the intestine. This is the intestinal wall. And these are the microvilli.

An anatomical model.

Okay, go ahead. So the gut is a tube, right? And the tube has a surface, right? And this surface in the gut is increased by foldings, which are called villi and microvilli. So... Why does the body, or why did the body evolve to do that? What we think is that it's to increase the contact surface of the intestines because there's a lot happening there that needs to happen, right? Okay.
