Can you tell us about some cases and why you're calling this a hormone crisis? Yeah, I think that it's a crisis because we have had no innovation in decades, over 25 years for women in terms of hormone therapies and advancements. And we have convinced women to be afraid of something that their body naturally makes. We have made women fear estrogen. Right. We became fearful of hormone therapy. Right. We have become fearful of it. You know, this is fear mongering at its best. The media made it seem that estrogen caused breast cancer. And then doctors and 50% of all women believe that estrogen causes breast cancer. That was this recent statistic, and that's not true. Not only does it not cause it, but it protects against it.
