All right. All right, Jason, this was a loaded question and it's one that I absolutely pers I'm gonna add, um, answer your question both as a scientist, nutritionist, and as somebody who was diagnosed with a terminal illness 31 years ago today, not today, July 4th, right? So the best place for you to get the science you want proof. So the latest edition, and this is what we learned in our PhD program. It's called Modern Nutrition and Health and Disease, that's Modern Nutrition and Health and Disease. Katherine Tucker. I used to work with Katie Tucker, and the date is 2026, which it isn't now. So I don't know how they put that on their copyright. But anyway, modern nutrition and health and disease, there is a magnitude of studies that show that nutrition can help heal and prevent disease. When you are talking about healing from a terminal illness, you're in a completely different ballpark and you're in a different ballpark because I don't believe there is research on that. To me, I tried to find the research on that for my non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and there wasn't any. And so the most important journey that I ever took in my life was from going from my head and what other people were telling me, whether it was the medical doctors saying this was going to kill me, or it was the naturopath saying, don't do what the docs are telling you 'cause it's gonna kill you. And I was able to dive deep into my heart and really look at what this message was bringing to me. Now, I will say, Jason, I was in a support group with other people who had my same diagnosis, my same age, and some did not survive. And some did. And to this day, people ask me why that is, and Jason, and I have no idea. All I know is that I really decided to take one step at a time. I didn't know what to do in a week or in two weeks or in a month or a year, but I knew what was the next step to take. And that was to get out of a really bad relationship. And then the next step was to really dive into the nutrition, and the next step was to look into supplements. And the next step was to look into alternative practitioners. That, that spoke to me. It felt right for me because I can't tell you something proven that will help an individual's terminal illness besides hopefully gaining more awareness into yourself and what it is you want no matter how long your life is and how you wanna live it until it's over. That's how we're all living. And if it's not you, and it's somebody that you know, I wish, wish you the best and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. And that's my answer to your question.
