So you get it post-birth.

It's considered adult.

Okay.

After birth...

You find an optimal donor.

The way we do it is we go through genetic profile of them, and then we do genetic testing.

We also test for virals, viral burdens, test bacteria, look at family history, all of that.

Once we've obtained post-birth tissue, a piece of umbilical cord, the cells that we use that are in multiple clinical studies for autoimmune diseases that we have in the United States,

Those have been put in specific, here we go back to food, a specific food that we developed to make them optimal for immune health.

Make them be able to regulate the immune system because all autoimmune diseases are a dysfunction, a dysregulation of the immune system.

The cells that we grow, we test for genetic, make sure there's no aberrations.

And believe it or not, we got, when we first embarked on this back in 2016, we got so many donations and 40% of them, when we grew them out, had genetic mutations.

We go back and tell the parents, one of you are carriers of, let's, for instance, say as a simple example, Turner syndrome, which is mom has an extra X chromosome.

Normally she can't have a baby, but sometimes they can.

and baby's a carrier.

We can't, we don't want to pass this on to anybody.

Test baby 100% of the time, baby has a deficiency.

The good thing about deficiencies such when we go back and tell the parents from the cells is they can be proactively now involved in, okay, in the case of Turner syndrome, when they turn, when they go to puberty, they got to put them on hormones so they can develop correctly, you know, things like this.

So that's the good thing about it.

So we get these cells,
