On behalf of Newstalk 870 Keala in Los Angeles and also from Natron Inc. and from the Joint Rehab and Sports Medical Center located right here in West Los Angeles. I welcome each and every one of you. I am a clinical pharmacist of over 35 years. I've seen the good. I've seen the bad. And I've seen the ugly in all of medicine. We are living in an age right now in which we spend at least two point three trillion dollars. That's with a T.. Ladies and gentlemen, on health care. And ninety nine percent of that is on treatment and one percent is on prevention. I think there's a little something wrong with that.

And still to this time. Believe it or not, the definition of probiotics is not in the dictionary. What antibiotics were in the 20th century? I strongly believe probiotics are going to be in the 21st century as a medical food. When you have 70 percent of your immune system located in your gut. Your second brain located in your gut. The only organ system that I can think of that we have control over. It's not automatic. And we abuse it the very most. And won, the immunity dwindles down. Obviously, a lot of other things come up. Now, we're not saying that probiotics are the key to everything. You've got to do your due diligence. And obviously coming to a convention like this, you're certainly halfway there. But you've got to go ahead and create a system where the immune system is
