But fundamentally cancer also is uh a cancer of yourself.
Yes.
Yes, when your own cells go bad.
Mm.
And your body also your immune system actually from day one since you were born has been trained to not target yourself.
It's trained to protect you from yourself.
Sure.
Just to geek out a little bit.
Um in immunology there's something called self and then there's non self.
Nonself is basically where things
are not recognized but you know, in very general terms it's not recognized by the immune system and that's what immune system is supposed to get rid.
That's why um when it when you talk about viruses or bacteria or parasites, those are definitely foreign, those are definitely non self.
That's why the body, the immune system is so good at eventually recognizing them, remembering them through memory and getting rid of them.
So going back to the problem of how cancer comes to be in very generic terms, over time it's problem it might figure out how to trick the body itself, you know, the little buggers, you know, they they also trick the body to say, I'm not a bad guy, I'm actually part of your team.
Yeah, it's like a terrorist, you know,
basically and uh the you know, the police doesn't know, right?
The immune system thinks, oh, this is just one of my guys.
And then, you know, it goes on and on and on and until it's too late.
Um they've sort of overwhelmed I wouldn't say they're overwhelmed, but they've they've they've teached the body to think that this isn't actually foreign.
And so the immune system kind of accepts it.
