Medical school education at every school in the United States is controlled by 19 people that serve on the board of a private company that determines the curriculum of every medical school in the country. And if you want to do something creative, talk about food or inflammation, You got to get back in line. Is this the company that creates the licensing exam? Or is this? AAMC.

They run, yeah, the USMLE.

And so these, and I've talked to deans of medical schools that have said, Marty, I'd love to talk about this stuff. All this stuff you talk about, all this stuff that are in the blind spots of modern medicine. And they say, we can't. Because the students know exactly what their learning objectives are for the boards. Yeah.

And if we teach something else, they're going to skip that class and they're going to focus on memorizing and regurgitating the 55 enzyme names they have to spit out on an exam. Why are we forcing our youngest, brightest, creative, most altruistic minds to regurgitate the names of enzymes that you can look up on a... smartphone.

And so we have this system now where a small group of people are controlling medical education, a small group of people control where the NIH dollars go, and who are funding the big questions central to health. For example, there's a new practice that's taking off of cutting the tongue under infants.

The frenulum under the tongue. Sometimes they'll even do the side of the tongue or the frenulum under the inside of the upper lip. It's crazy to me. I have ENT docs that say there's a subset of kids that may benefit.

If it's truly a foreshortened tongue, they believe there could be a benefit. It's never been proven, but they do believe there's clinical benefit. But then they say going to the upper lip and the side is crazy. They also say we need a good study on it. Well, there's a group of people out there that are calling every kid tongue tied, doing it routinely.
