But, you know, it's fascinating how little we're taught about that in med school and then how effective a lot of this stuff is. And it's not ever going to be studied to where it's, you know, this randomized control, you know, placebo-controlled trial.

But there's pretty good evidence on observational studies, especially in populations that take this, like natokinase is a big thing that Japanese take because it's in their diet. And then you look at their cardiovascular incidences and that you actually, I mean, there's a couple studies that compare it to statins, and it actually has better data in those studies

Yeah, no, I, you know, the other thing is just T cell exhaustion. I think the immune, again, I go back to kind of the understanding of, unfortunately, the way vaccinologists look at vaccines is through antibodies. But, you know, that's kind of 1970s and 80s science. The immune system is immensely complex, more complex than we had ever imagined.

And the honest truth is the more I read about it and the more I understand, the less I think I know about the whole thing.

Yeah, I mean, I definitely think, I mean, obviously one of the unique things and the ability for me to actually take care of people was I own my own clinics, I own my own pharmacy, I own my own labs. I employed about 200 people. And so, you know, I don't need a new sports car. I can buy some expensive microscope that somebody in South Africa says I need to do.

And she can train me to use it over Zoom because they have big, you know, videos in the microscopes now. So that independence needs to be back because unless the doctor's independent, He really can't take care of you personal because if he's not independent, then there's always going to be a secondary pressure behind him dictating what is best for you.

And even as you were talking before, Nicole Sapphire, I don't I'm not a fan of public health. if it replaces personal, basically patient physician relationships, because public health can inform a physician, but it should never replace basically what is best for the patient in front of you. And then lastly, I think medicine, the coolest thing about it and what separates it from other sciences

is because we're not just taking care of the immaterial person. We're taking care of a spiritual being as well. And so that is what gives us uniqueness as physicians. And that's why we call it a practice or an art of medicine, because we're not lab rats we're taking care of. We're blessed with the ability to actually care for humans as they exist.

One thing I'm trying to do with RFK is actually, I think within HHS, again, this probably takes some legislation, but there needs to be a department, I named it RISE, which is Resources for Independent and Self-Employed Physicians, but is basically getting back the independent physician ecosystem.
