Hello. Good morning. Can you hear me?
I got told to speak loudly, am I sitting here yesterday all day, it was really reminded of that old story about the blind men and the elephant. And one man, one blind man told the tail and felt it was like a snake and one man felt the walk the side of the elephant and felt like the elephant was like a wall. And another felt the leg and felt like the leg was the elephant was like a tree.
And what I know is that each of the speakers, including me, all feel like we have something really special to tell you. And it's really your job to take all of our blindness because we're all passionate about one area and try to synthesize that an integrated today. What I'm going to try to do in a very brief amount of time, I could spend probably all day talking with you about digestion and about how digestion works and when it's faulty, what to do.

So there was this great big twin study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Forty thousand twins from Scandinavia. They looked at the cancer of the lung, breast and colorectal. And they came up with that less than 15 percent probability that a twin would develop the same type of cancer that their identical twin developed.
So when we look at that and then a different study looked and said, well, breast cancer looked like maybe twenty seven percent genetic colorectal maybe thirty five percent, prostate, maybe 42 percent.
So when we look at it, we're hearing more and more and more about genetics and the role of genetics in health and disease these days. And so we're hearing about fat genes and breast cancer genes and and all kinds of genes. But what I want to tell you is that when we're looking at genetics, what we really have to know is that we're born with a certain disposition to a
