So there's something wrong. This is a common phenomenon that happens to many people in our world. You're doing what's supposed to be the right thing and it doesn't work for you. And then you do the wrong thing, which in this case is low-carb, high-fat ketogenic animal diet. And you get better and you say, wait a minute, if it's wrong for me, maybe it's wrong for a lot of people, if not everybody.

So they start this company, Virta Health. They realize they need a clinical trial to convince... And they meet Sarah Hallberg, who is a physician in Indiana, an amazing woman to whom the book is dedicated, who has been asked to run an obesity clinic at Indiana Health and has to learn everything she can about obesity.

And she starts reading all the literature and she goes down the rabbit hole and she experiences this... based on Jell-O revelation. And she realized that the only people who seem to be who seem to be effectively getting their patients to lose weight are these people like Westman who are advocating for these Atkins low-carb keto diets.

And so she goes and spends time with Westman, she goes and starts advocating for this at her obesity clinic and she meets Jeff and Steve and they put together a clinical trial where they're going to randomize people with type 2 diabetes to either this nutritional ketosis keto with... smartphones and personal coaching and telemedicine.

Yeah, because you're going to have to adjust medication. If you stop eating the toxin, you're going to have to lower the dose of the antidote. And it's either that or the American Diabetes Association standard of care which is drug therapy. And they do the trial and after a few years they report one-year results and after three years they report two-year results.

And for patients who comply with the diet they seem to put this progressive chronic disease into remission. So it's not a progressive chronic disease. No. It's only a progressive chronic disease if you're eating the toxin.

If you're not eating the toxin, you don't manifest the symptoms. And it's not the ideal clinical trial. Yeah. There's all kinds of problems with it. it wasn't randomized, actually I probably said randomized and I should not, they let patients choose whether they wanted the diet or the ADA standard of care.

But even with those constraints it demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that a disorder which is considered chronic and progressive is not necessarily chronic and progressive and that the defining factor is the diet, again whether you eat the toxin.
