One was I got married. Andrew, you won't believe it. I was obscenely young. And you'll find that if you read the book, I was even younger than admitted because I was secretly married years before that. Okay, so I go, I'm 19 years old, I think. I go to Paris on my honeymoon. We go into this restaurant. I order a mixed grill. One of the foods there was a pancreas.

My then husband, who was more sophisticated than I, more worldly, I said, which of these is the pancreas? He says, that. So I eat everything. I'm a big eater. Now comes the moment of truth. Can I eat the pancreas? Why I thought that being married meant I had to eat the pancreas, I still haven't figured out. But anyway, I start eating it and he starts laughing. Not good for newlyweds.

And I ask him, why are you laughing? He said, because that's chicken. You ate the pancreas a long time ago. So I made myself sick. Okay. The other side of that, my mother had breast cancer that had metastasized to her pancreas, and then magically it was gone. Somehow she had made herself well.

So I had many of these sorts of experiences, and talk about, you know, mind, I've been talking about this since, gosh, when did we first, since 79. So now people are talking about mind-body connection. It's not a connection. If you're talking about a connection between two things, it says they're separate, and you still have to deal with what's connecting them.

When you put them back together, it's one thing. You don't have to deal with that mediator. And so the study you're asking me about, which I'm surprised, I'm having a junior moment, but I actually remembered the question you asked rather than a senior moment, that before I tell you about the study with Ali, the first study we did testing this mind-body unity was a counterclockwise study.

So here what we did was we took elderly men, we were going to have them live in a retreat that had been retrofitted to 20 years earlier and had them live there as if they were their younger selves. So they talked about things from the past as if they were just unfolding. The results were incredible.

Their vision improved, their hearing improved, their memory, their strength, and they looked noticeably younger. So that was very exciting and began all this mind-body unity work. Now comes the study that you're talking about with Allie.
