I think that the thymus is also a reasonable thing as well and we need more studies to look at this thymus as an immune gland this is actually an interesting segue into a little bit of what could be a conjectured conversation about some of these peptides because there's a peptide now people are using T a one out t a one right so thymus and alpha whoa yeah yeah thymus an alpha yeah there's a lot a lot of doctors are prescribing that right now Simonsen alpha and then a lot are also recommending ll 37 and for its antiviral activity and where is ll 37 from what is LL 37 I'm not as familiar with that one well 37 is apparently what it does is it prevents the binding of the virus to receptors and it's it's also used a lot of times for like Giardia and food poisoning and things like that like actually I've always had a bottle handy in my fridge but generally it's used for not for immune system enhancement as much as like acute GI issues or bacterial or viral infections and then the the thymosin is more for just general immune system support the thymus an alpha and a 2 that I've seen you know doctors who are using peptides recommending the most and then of course if an infection occurs and there's there's this inflammatory firestorm the BP c 157 for for controlling that just just injected systemically you know a subject a nice injection of BP c yeah and from my perspective I'm fascinated by the peptides and various organs that the thymus and alpha one is so fascinating to me thinking cuz I eat I miss every day right I eat a real thymus I eat part of real thymus every day and do these peptides survive digestion you know could we be getting some oral because VPC 157 as you're saying now as an oral formulation and a sub-q formulation so kind of oral is it possible that oral thymus and alpha one could be beneficial for our immune system this gets into just one of the most fascinating rabbit holes for me in terms of the nose-to-tail equation how many of these organs that we are eating could have things in them peptides signaling molecules growth factors that are beneficial for our body that we don't even know about and this concept you mentioned you know the concept of signatures and that life-like supports like is is intriguing and it's intuitive and I really want to see if we can generate some hard scientific data to further corroborate that but I think that it's totally reasonable right now to try a lung desiccated lung thymus probably liver kidney I mean all of these things could have very beneficial things
