Yeah, it's a really important point. So if you're 40 or over, we recommend that everyone get a cognoscopy. So we all know when we turn 50, what are we supposed to do? We're supposed to get a colonoscopy, and it can really reduce your risk of dying of colorectal cancer. Of course, pap smears did a tremendous job for reducing cervical cancer.

And by the same token, getting a cognoscopy if you're 40 or over, and especially if there's been any sort of family history, but in general, for all of us, because we are all at risk. It dwarfs the pandemic. We're talking about 1 million who've died in the US from the pandemic. About 45 million of the currently living Americans will die from Alzheimer's if we don't do something about it.

So again, nobody should get this. There's a tremendous amount you can do. Get a cognoscopy, which is some blood tests and a simple online cognitive test, as you mentioned earlier. and then MRI with volume metrics and some simple things you can do. We talk about the seven basics.

It's a great point. And we see yes and no. So I would say what I'm seeing is about a quarter of the people, their doctor will say, sure, I'll do these for you. No problem.

Yeah, so they're running things, again, which makes sense when you look at what is important for innate immune activation and for energetics. So they're running HSCRP, and they're running homocysteine. And TGF-beta-1 is actually a very good thing to know about yourself, that or MMP9. Again, these are things that are responding typically to biotoxins and other inflammogens.

And then you're looking at your HOMA-IR. So you're looking at your fasting glucose, you're looking at your fasting insulin, you're looking at your hemoglobin A1C, you're looking at your methylation. You know, we're now, there are some new things so that you can now look at your epigenetics. And you mentioned earlier the advanced lipid profile.

So you're looking at, you know, how are your lipids looking and do you have an inflammatory pattern or not? And then you're looking at, do you have toxin exposure? And we see this a lot where people will have biotoxin exposure, often in association with low platelet counts and or low white blood counts.
