Just put it another way. You and I are on computers and I got to you by clicking on a link that took us up to the cloud and here we are. My computer really doesn't have a lot of computing power. We've put that up into the cloud. A lot of us believe that our genome, human genes, is not very big, but the microbiome genome is enormous.
And this genome actually divides constantly and constantly changes. So many of us think that we've uploaded our computing power, or downloaded our computing power into our gut. And the gut then makes the decisions, and then it uploads it. I'm holding up my phone near my head. It uploads that information to my brain, which is merely a receiver for that information.

And it's an interesting way to think about it, but Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago that all disease begins in the gut. So I'm just trying to catch up with what he knew 2,500 years ago. I'm a slow learner.

Really, the single protocol works. And again, I see patients six days a week, even on the weekends. The single protocol works because if people are watching on video, I have a big sign behind me, a painting. The road to health is paved with good intestines. And this is what Hippocrates taught 2,500 years ago.

And all of these various people that are described in the book all had one thing in common. And that is they had a disbiotic microbiome. That means they had an imbalance of good guys and bad guys. And they all had leaky gut, intestinal permeability. Now, if you had asked me 25 years ago when I started this part of my career about leaky gut, I probably would have told you it's pseudoscience.

But thanks to work by Professor now at Harvard, Alessio Fasano, who identified how leaky gut occurs, how lectins and gluten are a big piece of causing leaky gut, and how we can measure leaky gut with blood tests or stool tests. That's opened up an entire window of opportunity to show, in fact, that somebody with

parkinson's can be treated by restoring their microbiome into balance and stopping their leaky gut just as an example and that same protocol of restoring a balance of microbiome and stopping leaky gut can treat addictive behavior and so on down the line but about 80% of my practice now is autoimmune patients who have been everywhere, tried everything, and end up in my office.

And 100% of these people have leaky gut and an intestinal dysbiosis, an imbalance of their microbiome. This works. And like I say, I'm a slow learner. Hippocrates clearly knew this 2,500 years ago. He didn't have the Human Microbiome Project to help him out. But he knew this intuitively and I spent the last 25 years trying to figure out how he knew it.
