And if it sees something funny going on, it does what it's supposed to do. It's to get rid of funny business and attack it as a foreigner. So it does a macrophage engulfment. and it goes through its process, which is killing by chemical warfare through the release of oxidants. So what could be inside that vessel wall that would precipitate that?

It could be many different things, one of which could be oxidized LDL. There could be sub-particles of cholesterol that are been modified.

That's exactly right.

That's exactly right.

That's exactly right.

Yeah. So it's doing what it's supposed to do. It's search and destroy foreigners. The problem is we need to not just stop the macrophage from working. Let's just block its function by giving an anti-macrophage drug. Let's find why it would find a foreigner there and treat that so it doesn't have to be in an alarm state

So what I'd like to propose, and this is my mantra that I'm bringing into this next discussion, that the information that we're going to share in the next minutes, if understood by the viewer listener of this podcast and executed at some level in their life, incorporated at some level, will make a dramatic impact upon their health.

Let's start first by the obvious. A seminal paper was published out of Stanford Medical School a number of years ago. One of the authors was a former podcast guest that you'd had, David Furman, asking the question, is our immune system genetically controlled or is it non-genetically controlled? In other words, whatever our immune system is, is that just what we got?

And the answer is that a very small amount of our immune system function is hardwired into our genes. The majority of our immune system function is not heritable. It is changed by the environment upon which we live that starts the moment of conception that influences our genes of our immune system and how it functions. So that's number one, which gives us room to play, right?
