That drug has side effects. They have to put you on another drug to mitigate the side effects of that drug. Now you've got side effects from that polypharmacy. They have to put you on another drug to mitigate those side effects. And now you look up and people who are 50 to 60 years old and older are on 10, 12, 18 different medications. That's the best financial model in the world.

So it's a great financial model, but it's at the expense of our health and the health of everybody living in the world. And in the U.S., you know, we have the sickest population in the world. Now, for the first time in the history of Western medicine, have discussions between physician and patient, how do we wean you off this drug?

That conversation has never had before because it's always, if this doesn't work, come back and I'll prescribe you more drugs. Let's do the opposite. You come back and let's understand the root cause of disease. Let's say, okay, well, if we are addressing this, you don't need this medication. And if you don't need this medication, you don't need this medication.

And if you don't need this medication, you don't need this medication.

And now for the first time, you start weaning patients off of drugs. And what happens? You're now impeding upon the market share of these multi-billion dollar drug companies who make their living buying influence, regulating policy, influencing policy, And the FDA is a stepping stone to a board seat of Big Pharma. Every former FDA official in the U.S.

for the past 20 or 30 years goes on to become multimillion-dollar salaried employee from Big Pharma. It has to stop.

No, I mean, that's depressing. I mean, but those are the facts. And you have to understand, those are indisputable data, right? And so when people hear that, they go, but when you look at kind of the system, and I don't blame doctors because doctors are getting into this field. You know, I was on the admissions committee to UT Medical School for a number of years.

So we interviewed a lot of these young kids, figured out what their motivation was. Will they have a successful career in medicine? And almost everyone, I mean, there's always the exception, but everyone gets into medicine because they want to make a difference. They're driven by curiosity. And most of them want to leave a lasting legacy and help people. That's what drives entry into health care.

But when you look at the system in which they're trained in, it prevents them, it basically handcuffs them. Because when you figure out the pay, the economic model of medicine, once you make a diagnosis, now you've got a diagnosable disease to which you have a finite number of responses, right? If you make this diagnosis, that's called an ICD-10 code, which is reimbursable,

And that's how you get paid. So once you make a diagnosis, you only have a finite list of things you can do. You can't ask that question and go, well, what's really causing this and spend, you know, 90 minutes with that patient. Because most physicians have to see 60, 70, 80 patients a day to pay the bills, to cover their overhead. So it's a factory.

You come in, you look at it, you've got a transcriber, you make a diagnosis, okay, I'm going to prescribe this medication, come back in two weeks or six months and we'll see where you are. And then it's just, it's a churn, it's a meal. But as you meant, the data don't lie, right? Sickest population, highest infant mortality in the most industrialized nation in the world.
