And as long as they can maintain the patent on that, there won't be the generic version because it probably costs, the profit margins on these things are huge because they're trying to cover the research and development they did. So that's just one example. But the drug companies are incentivized. Yeah, the Doras. I've tried them. I felt lousy. And is that like Ambien or whatever? No.

So Ambien is a problem because it can give you memory issues. This works through something that's called the hypocretinorexin system. It was discovered in narcoleptic dogs in the basement of Stanford, believe it or not. There's all sorts of cool stuff there. But the drug companies are a concern in one sense, which is that, look, Dopamine, as we learned, is involved in movement.

It's involved in reward. Schizophrenics take drugs to block dopamine. And if you see someone on the street corner, nowadays it's complicated with fentanyl, but you see the person kind of writhing, it's called tardive dyskinesia. That's because those drugs, the neuroleptics, as we call them, reduce the auditory hallucinations.

They relieve a lot of those symptoms of schizophrenia, but it also hits dopamine in the spinal system. the motor system, and then they have these motor side effects. So the problem is most pharmaceuticals have side effects because most chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, they're in multiple places in the brain, not just the area that you're concerned about repairing.

I'm not super anti big pharma, but I will say I am very pro self-directed healthcare. This is why a big part of my initiative with the podcast is get people getting sunlight in their eyes in the evening, get some sunlight in your eyes in the morning, excuse me, sunlight in your eyes in the morning, hydrate, exercise, get on a normal circadian rhythm.

Well, we got to get you some of the red lens glasses. I'm not doing a promotional here, but getting the screens dim or wearing red lens glasses in the evening to block the blue and green lights. But how do you even set up a circadian rhythm? Bright light in the morning. If you wake up and the sun's out, get outside, take that brimmed hat off,
