Okay.

It was developed by, um, LabCorp and some t- researchers, and, um, it took, uh, 10 years of study on over 30,000 people by the NIH.

And then the UK Biobank tested this on 270,000 people.

And what they did was they drew everybody's blood, uh, you know, and this is different groups, maybe six or seven different groups.

They drew blood, and they just waited for people to pass away, and then they looked at their blood after they died and said, "What could we have looked at to predict their mortality?"

Mm-hmm.

Squashing it, right? Antidepressant, antibacterial, anti whatever.

The point is improve your health so that these chronic conditions go away.

Okay.

And I don't know, it's, it doesn't communicate really the importance of this test.

So here's what it measures.

The six factors are glyca, which is infection and/or inflammation, and then smallish particle count, which is r- loosely related to toxicity, and then citrate, which is mitochondrial function, and then the last three are branched-chain amino acids.

And that measures digestion, protein intake, B1 status, so it's more about nutrition, diet, digestive capability.

It also gives you an overall score, that's the MVX score, zero or one to 100.

You want your score to be low.

So MVX Plus, um, have, has that, is that like the main focus of your practice now? Or are you doing, are you still doing a lot of other type of stuff?

So, so what, like, you know, what are the, what are the classic symptoms? What were you feeling that lined up with it? You know, I'd love to know also the classic symptoms of sort of, you know, the other things, the mold and, and what you felt.

Yeah.

So the point is, the lesson I learned was that it doesn't matter what the toxin...

Well, it does matter, but in general, toxicity causes cell death, and there's a mechanism, and that mechanism is called f- from the 1930s.

So if you could see behind my shoulder, I got these old books, nutrition and medical textbooks.

And back then they said lactic acidosis, which back then had a different definition than it does now, is, um, the cause or at least the mechanism of chronic disease.

They didn't really understand causes very well.

Doc, talk about the, the MVX testing and how that applies to what we're talking about here.
