What's unique about cancers that cause problems, the two-hit hypothesis, is multiple things have gone wrong, and the normal tools that eliminate cancer don't work.
Same thing with epilepsy.
Normally, you have a little epileptic circle, fire together, wire together, and then you go, oh, let's get rid of this one.
We make little epileptic foci and get rid of them.
We make little neuroses.
We make little obsessive-compulsive all the time.
And then we eliminate them, right?
Just like my daughter saying I need to remove TikTok or whatever it is.
We find it to be a problem.
We find a solution.
Sometimes we're aware of it, make a conscious decision.
But more often, our neurons are just doing it.
Our cells are doing it on our behalf behind the scenes.
When you have flagrant cancer, it's going to kill the person.
It's typically because multiple checkpoint inhibitors have been blocked.
There's a lot of problems.
We think the same thing is true of brain diseases, whether it's mental health problems or neurological.
Two things must have gone wrong at least, not just one thing.
Yeah.
So we ask them what their frequency is.
