Yeah, it's so powerful. When I see this patient, I'm like, okay, you don't have to do all the tests, but sometimes when you get stuck, you look at various tests that look at antibodies against things that are in the gut that determine a leaky gut. We call it Cyrex-2 testing, which is a test you can get through functional medicine doctors.

And then we look at poop testing, where we do thousands and thousands of these tests. And it's so helpful. And it doesn't just look at the microbiome. It actually looks at the function of the gut, like whether there's malabsorption, whether you had no digestive enzymes, whether there's inflammation, whether there's...

overactive antibodies in there, whether you have imbalances in what we call the short-chain fats, which are the food for the colon that are produced by bacteria eating the right kinds of fiber. And if they're low, it means there's an imbalance. Then we look at the microbiome. We look at what grows. We look at parasites. And then we target and micro-target the

things that are out of balance for that person and it's different for everybody. And we might look at food sensitivity testing, we might look at, and even things like heavy metals or other things which can also cause it. I had a patient with ulcerative colitis once and I did everything right, I did the whole 5R, it wasn't working. But I forgot the first part of the R, which is remove.

And I thought, well, maybe heavy metals can cause autoimmunity. Maybe it's a problem. And so I tested him, and he was wasted away, and it was terrible. He actually had high levels of mercury. We treated mercury, and his colitis went away.

So I think it's so powerful. And this case is so important because it really describes how a patient goes to a traditional doctor, is diagnosed with a disease, irritable bowel syndrome. By the way, anytime you hear syndrome, it means doctors know what the heck is going on. It's just a collection of symptoms that we agree we're going to put in this bucket.
