When you underreact, we call that AIDS. Yeah.
So AIDS or cancer. AIDS or cancer.

Right. And I think, you know, we talk about like, you know, a weak immune system or a strong immune system. It's really, I think, an intelligent and a balanced immune system. That's how I like to think about it. And that's, you know, related to immunotolerance, which is what the gut does. So when we have a healthy gut, we have an immune system that is tolerant to lots of things.

And you can eat certain things. You can go out in the environment. You're not going to react to dog dander and all these other things. There are some genetic... Some people have genetic predispositions towards being more atopic or allergic. But having a healthy gut, especially early on, the priming of the gut is so critical. You know, having a vaginal birth, being...

You know, having a vaginal birth, being...
uh, breastfed, uh, not introducing, uh, certain foods like gluten early on in, in, in living on a farm, living on a farm, exactly. Being exposed, exposed a lot of, and, and crawling around in the dirt and literally putting dirt in, you know, I would call it, you know, your, your body's immune system samples planet earth. Planet earth is a very dirty place.

There's lots of bugs and all kinds of things in your body learns to be immunotolerant. And one of the things that is really, I also focus on is part of the immune system is called the Treg cells. The Treg cells are like the conductor in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. So you've got, you know, the wind section over here and the horns over here and they keep everything in balance.

And the Tregs are really, really critical. And what we're finding- Regulatory cells. They regulate. They regulate the whole, you know, the whole balance of the immune system. And the Tregs that we find out, the Tregs, Two things that are really simple that people can use to upregulate your Tregs to keep things in balance are fibers, fibers in the diet.

Fibers are the key things that help with regulation of that. And then also, which I use quite a bit in the patients that I see is vitamin A. Vitamin A helps to downregulate the immune system and helps to keep the Treg cells in place.
