And so you've got to think about how are we responding to the outside world through signals or through messages. And so when I went to that level, I said, okay, so let's look at that. You have the gut microbiome, you have the nervous system, and you have the immune system, all of which are intimately interrelated, one with the other, and are communicating with the outside and inside world.
Which of those is most able to change quickly? And then I recognize that the immune system turns over every 120 days. Every 120 days, our immune system are different cells than they were previously. Now just think of that for a moment. We're making over 2 million new white blood cells, immune cells, A minute. We are constantly reproducing our immune system.

So the question is, is it as good as, better, or worse than the cells that it's replacing? The answer to most people over life is it's worse. That's immunosenescence. Our immune system declines. So people say, oh, yeah.

Which can be more rapid than our number of birthdays.

That's exactly right.

And so then it begs the question, doesn't it, during SARS-CoV-2 infection, Why did we in the United States do more poorly than any other developed country in terms of intubation, hospitalization, death? And it was not because we're an older society. It was because we had the poorest immune state of vigilance. We were immunosenesced as a country.

And on our bodies, we're not able to manage the effective SARS spike protein. Yeah. as people in other countries that had a more vigilant, resilient immune system. And shame on us.

So it was absolutely just what you said that caused me to wake up one morning and say, maybe I need one more shot at the goal here. Maybe I need to really focus my attention. Now that we've gone through gastrointestinal restoration, now that we've gone through metabolic detoxification, now that we've gone through mitochondrial resuscitation, maybe we need immunorejuvenation.
