Yeah, I think, so this is another interesting one where there's some science and there's some voodoo to plasmapheresis. So the science is that our plasma does become chock full of antibodies to all the things that we're exposed to. So I have a friend that works and is developing some technology based off of that principle, that because of all of those antibodies floating around in your plasma,
We can filter out the ones we don't need, so potentially reducing autoimmune responses. Alternatively, you can introduce antibodies and things into the plasma that could be good for you. So there is some science and merit to that. I don't think that the technology and the intervention, however, is there yet for mass consumption, like plasmapheresis in the MediSpa. I don't trust that.
You know, with every intravenous procedure, there are some risks and side effects. I think what I'm more worried about is a quality control in the medispas and clinics that are running this procedure.
I haven't, and again, I haven't personally looked at the equipment and the technology and the manufacturers and the protocols, but as a scientist and physician, that would be my foremost concern is the quality control on the stuff that you're putting directly into my system. And again, so they're saying they're filtering your plasma, but where's the QC?
Where's the guarantee that you've taken out what you're saying you're taking out and you're really putting in what you're saying you're putting in? So it's an unregulated protocol, kind of an unregulated industry. So that's what makes me concerned.
Of course I forgive you. Yeah, I am, like Isaiah said, I got my, you know, I have a love of data and technology. And so I'm much more forgiving of IT challenges because I live with many of them and I handle many of them. But Jennifer, this was a pleasure. It was great to chat with you. Always a pleasure to chat with a guest.
I'm so glad that you had the good fortune of visiting Lanai and that you got to experience that for yourself.
program, we try to keep that mostly the same, you know, so the evidence-based principles, being data-driven, focusing on movement, nourishment, and the rest. But then as you probably noticed, each place has its own charm, its own energy, its own culture. And that, I think that, you know, adds some variety to the different locations. You'll have to come visit us in Mexico.
I think we've got a really special place and a really special team here.
My pleasure, Jennifer.
