Rob and I do on this, it's so easy to just get that allergy test and then it's normal because it's not an allergy, it's a toxin buildup. That's not that allergy relationship.
Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because a lot of people come to me having had like, you've had a lot of work done, They've really tried. It's. It's been super frustrating for them. They've met with who they think are really good providers and everybody's trying to do what they understand. So when Dr. Diane talks about mold and Lyme, she sees the type of patient all the time. When I talk about breast implants or breast implant illness, somebody may see one or two of those patients a month. I see like 30 a week. And I hear all of their stories all of the time. And so when we mention something specific, you know, that's a difference in what we hear, because we hear it all the time. It's a very frequent conversation we have. So experience always in my head is going to bring expertise and certainly the more time and more effort and more curiosity you have, like Dr. Diane and I have had about mold and, or in my case, just trying to solve this breast implant problem, which is a never ending battle.
