So if no test confirms deficiency, aren't you just guessing instead of practicing evidence-based medicine?

You see that the dog is not showing the behavior anymore. Yes, correct. Correct. Very true. So you kind of go back and forth, and I do too, between human psychiatry and veterinary behaviors. Because, well, for one reason, there is not much with dogs that's done.

But I can argue that what is done with humans, it's also very questionable and it's becoming to a tipping point that we need to start to think of something, at least reevaluate our perspective even with humans. As I said, I do follow... some big names in human psychiatry. I talked to them. And as a matter of fact, as I was telling you, we're living to go to a championship in Greece in two days.

Tomorrow, the podcast that I was telling you that I'm going to have is with one of those people. And of course... I like to have people like yourself that will challenge my ideas and that I will be able to challenge. And maybe we, of course, we don't agree with each other, but we walk out with something to think of, right?

Well, the person that I'm going to have tomorrow, he is very much on my side of things. Maybe I needed a boost of confidence after talking to you about it. Okay. So but again, we don't have tests to confirm deficiency. We don't have it in humans. We don't have it in dogs. We don't have it in animals.

It is super complicated. Super complicated. Because, like, I totally agree with you with the dog situation. But you have a human that it's, I mean, they can go in an MRI and stay for an hour if they think. I mean, they will do whatever it takes to get their mind fixed, right? Yeah.

Yeah, it was an emotional state. And then what part of the brain activates regarding if they hear a familiar voice versus, you know, so there was a lot of correlations that were not surprising at all.

Yeah. I have a... So one of the other questions was that... you mentioned that low serotonin level causes aggression, anxiety, fear, and so on. Yes. And I'm not sure, but perhaps if you are aware of studies where serotonin depletion was artificially induced in humans, right?

Truthfully, I don't know if... I'll put links to this and I can send you an email because they're very interesting. I have it, again, as I said, like I'm trying to, simply because of time restraint, I don't want to miss things. I've never had a desk like this around me right now. But anyway, what was very interesting, and this was done...

as they started to kind of really pay attention and question how the whole thing works and is it just big pharma machine or, you know, the stories. So this is done, it was published in Springer Nature 2024. So it's very, very current. And basically what they did, they reduced level of serotonin in healthy people. And guess what? But nothing happened.
