It's a complex solution. So it's more like we look at the holistic whole, whole body, whole human, whole environment. And a lot of people confuse it with it's just natural medicine. It's not. In holistic medicine, we will use some Western medicine, we use Eastern medicine, we use meditation, we'll use acupuncture, we'll use chiropractic, we'll use all different kind of modalities that address the whole person, the whole environment and the whole culture surrounding that child that that's manifesting an illness in one organ system.
