They are actually. You can use- Sorry, my mistake. Yeah. So I think that using the term stem cell is a problem, right? If we use the term autologous cell, right, which would be PRP, it's basically the same thing. Platelet-rich plasma. Right. They take your blood, they spin it down, they take the- Right. And so the ruling is, I understand it. As long as you're taking a cell from you,

Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
Yeah, no, and I think, like anything, there's going to be people who get too aggressive. I've heard of doctors injecting stem cells into people's discs, and then they get discitis, an infection, and that can just spiral very quickly. I think you've got to be reasonable in what you're trying to accomplish.

I'm excited about stem cells and exosome therapy and PRP and PRF and using them as, you know, kind of biologics because I think there's a lot to learn. I think we only know very little from what we've seen from working with our patients. It's been tremendous from a rejuvenation standpoint.

Yeah, I think it was, from my observation, the best peptide for immune modulation. So we would use it if you had an overactive immune system, like autoimmune disease. By definition, if someone has an autoimmune disease, their immune system is attacking their own self, right? That's classically lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, things like that, celiac disease, type 1 diabetes.

Those are all autoimmune diseases. We could use thymus and alpha-1, and we'd tone down the immune response. We'd also use it a lot in post-COVID, where you have an abnormal immune response or the immune system hasn't caught back up and you can kind of dial it up using thymus and alpha one in a very simple use a lot with long COVID.

And we were using 5,000 micrograms a day, sometimes intravenously, getting great results, very safe, had no issues with it. But unfortunately, it's off the table.
