So let me give you an observation I made. This is my aha for the last two years. So I found this paper, which was called the Immune Inflammatory Index. I'd never heard of this before. And so I looked into it. It was actually some work that had been done in Denmark. I looked at the, what is the immune inflammatory index?

And it's actually a very simple algorithm that anyone can do from a blood test. It is a taking the differential from a CBC, complete blood count, and putting it through a simple arithmetic equation that anybody can do because it's simple math, of the relative number of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets

in your blood from a standard blood test, you do a calculation, and it will tell you from the immune inflammatory index, it's what's called the result of that equation, if it's above two, then you start to be into an inflammatory state that is associated with a whole variety of different diseases.

And there are many, many papers now that have been published over the last couple of years on the use of the immune inflammatory index. So I started to talk to my colleagues about this. I said, you know, why aren't we using the immune inflammatory index? Because it's a standard part of every blood test that a person has. We're just not doing the calculation.

When we started using that and we looked at them before and after it, say where they were on tartary buckwheat or on these low allergy, low potential diets, your detox approach, lo and behold, the immune inflammatory index starts coming down very rapidly. It's a very simple test. And so now we have a simple marker.
