and just so that audience have a little bit of your background on what have you done and just so that

audience have a little bit of context to your tremendous background that you have?

Yeah, I'll be brief about my background. I was a scientist, biochemist, immunologist,

microbiologist, all kinds of things. But really, I became very driven by the fact that we are in the dark ages when it comes to

chronic diseases and cancers. So literally in the 13th century when the plague hit, we didn't

know what caused it. And so we were completely blinded and we had no way to treat it. We didn't
