Who is Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong?
We are very privileged today to welcome Dr. Patrick Soon-Shong, a physician, transplant surgeon, biotech entrepreneur, pioneered treatments for diabetes, cancer. In 2018, he became the owner of the LA Times. And as he said, some of his posts on X create a lot of excitement. He doesn't understand why sometimes. He is the executive chairman of Immunity Bio and holds over 675 worldwide patents. 1993, he performed at UCLA, first whole organ pancreas transplant. And he developed Abraxane, which as a Lynch patient, I'm glad they have available. It's an FDA, obviously, cancer medication. He is chairman of Nantworks, recipient of the 2016 Franklin Institute Bauer Award. and a minority owner in the los angeles lakers so we got a lot to talk about uh i'm very anxious to hear his story and we'll get right to it with dr patrick soon shong right after this our laws as it pertain to substances are draconian and bizarre the psychopath started this right he was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography btsd love addiction fentanyl and heroin ridiculous i'm a doctor for say where the hell you think i learned that
I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say.
I'm excited to bring you a new product, a new supplement, Fatty. I take it. I make Susan take it. My whole family takes it. This comes out of, believe it or not, dolphin research. The Navy maintains a fleet of dolphins. And a brilliant veterinarian recognized that these dolphins sometimes developed a syndrome identical to our Alzheimer's disease. Those dolphins were deficient in a particular fatty acid. She replaced the fatty acid. And they didn't get the Alzheimer's. Humans have the same issue. And we are more deficient in this particular fatty acid than ever before. And a simple replacement of this fatty acid called C15 will help us prevent these syndromes. It's published in a recent journal called Metabolites.
It's a new nutritional C15, pentadecanoic acid it's called. The deficiency that we are developing for C15 creates something called the cellular fragility syndrome. This is the first nutritional deficiency syndrome to be discovered in 75 years and may be affecting us in many ways and as many as one in three of us. This is an important breakthrough. Take advantage of it.

He has some interesting public statements he has made recently about the mayor of Los Angeles. As I've mentioned before the break, physician, surgeon, biotech entrepreneur, you can follow him on XDR, Dr. Pat Soon-Shong. And he would like you to read the LA Times if you go to latimes.com. Dr. Soon-Shong, thank you and welcome to the program.
Welcome.
Thanks for being... Excuse me, I've got the skulls. I'm anxious. I know. I'm sorry. And you've been very kind to come out even with this thing going on. He was going to come into our house, but now we have a baby in our family. And so he very graciously agreed to do it by Zoom. So appreciate it.
I did not have a baby. We have a granddaughter.
If she did have a baby, you could read about it in the journals. But especially since I've had a prostatectomy and exactly how would that happen? I don't know. But be that as it may. So I'm anxious to hear, first of all, I also have Lynch syndrome. I'm also, I'm an MSH6 Lynch. And so I know some of your recent research has benefited those of us with this syndrome. You want to address that quickly before we get into everything else?
