And I'm a conventional doctor. So I don't want to be considered alternative. I don't want to think of myself as an alternative doctor. So it's conventional medicine who needs to go there. So when you do bloods, you know what conventional bloods look like, right? But they don't really tell you anything before you're sick. They tell you when you're sick.
