and not specifically in use for rhesus, therapeutic plasma exchange, serif blood filtration, and how I certainly am a big believer in these, just subtractive medicine of taking things out of the body that could be distracting its normal function, heavy metals, mold, mycotoxins, parasites, viruses, microplastics.

These things that are causing biological havoc

because our immune system is spending all of its time protecting us from those, but not policing us, right?

And then there go the senescent cells and circulating tumor cells.

And now you've got the genesis of chronic disease.

Yeah, immune fatigue.

Yeah, immunofatigue, yeah.

Which, you know, I told you I was asked this question, you know, on a stage talk not too long ago about what is the one prevailing theory of aging that everyone would agree on?

And there's lots of theories of aging.

And I don't purport to say that this is the one, but immunofatigue is one that, you know, a lot of leading MDs, PhDs, researchers would say, yes, that is a large category that we need to address.

Like how do we empower the immune system to do what it does best, which is not just protect us, but also police us, you know, to actually keep,

senescent cells from sticking around for too long, having cellular autophagy and, you know, go back to homeostasis, you know, regulating, you know, we call redox homeostasis, the balance between inflammation and oxidation, you know, that, and there's nothing more powerful than our God-given innate immune system.

I mean, if you want to ask me, that's what got us out of the pandemic, but

So where does the FDA fall on some of these things?

Maybe you call them gray areas, like peptides, where you have mass numbers of prescriptions that have been written with very little adverse effects and large data to finding benefit.

How do you address an industry like that and say, rather than sort of turn a blind eye and just kind of let it quietly,

do what it's gonna do on its own.

How do we actually train an eye on this and widen the lanes for certain things, narrow the lanes for other things?

Well, we have to use some common sense.

And the peptide world is a very large bucket.
