Someone else was asking, I think that same person mentioned cloves.

Are there herbal things that, you know, that people have been doing in certain cultures for centuries that we should be taking advantage of that are, in fact, anti-inflammatory?

Somebody named Christopher said, uh, be careful of turmeric.

I think he said it might have metal in it, but I, I get fresh turmeric actually.

And I put it in like, anyway, nobody cares, but ginger and turmeric and pepper and oranges and lemons and make my own kind of, uh,

you know, shots that I try to take, and I think they really help.

You know, you also mentioned to not do too much protein, but all I see on social media is that, you know, that protein, you know, you should almost eat your weight in protein.

And I'm curious, I know it's part of this trend to keep your muscle mass strong and healthy, and I'm just curious if

Is that dangerous?

Okay, that's good to know.

Well, if you see the data, let us know, because I think a lot of people are confused about that.

You know, you mentioned colon cancer, and I've been really obsessed with the fact that so many people under the age of 50 are being diagnosed, Dr. Topol, with colon cancer.

And I just read yesterday that the number of people under the age of 50 diagnosed with colon cancer is going to double by 2030.

And I know there are a lot of theories people are talking about, are talking about

microplastics.

They're talking about the microbiome, which is sort of your overall digestive and gut health.
