[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells) But let me tell you something profound and very simple.

[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=5) Something profound is as follows. When you get chemotherapy, let's talk about cancer, for example.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=10) When you get chemotherapy, the first thing it wipes out is your red blood cells. You have anemia, and there's a drug for that called Epogen.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=19) The second thing it wipes out is cells called neutrophils that prevent infection, and there's a drug for that called Neupogen.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=26) But the most important thing it wipes out is a drug, is your NK and T cells, and that's called lymphocytes.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=33) It turns out the only thing that protects your body against cancer is your lymphocytes, meaning the NK cells and T cells.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=41) So that's why I'm saying what is simple and profound, meaning that we now know that anybody getting chemotherapy, anybody getting radiation, within a day or two, you wipe out the only cells that matter, i.e. the cells that kill cancer.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=60) And, um, for thirty-five years, we've never had a treatment for that.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=65) That is where I'm going down the line when we t-t-talk about long COVID, because when you have viral infection, the first thing you wipe out, the, the virus is smart. It wipes out the T cells and the NK cells.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=78) But you know, the irony is that you need Epogen and Neupogen because of what we've done to the patient. We've given them chemotherapy.

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=84) Of course. And we, we... At the same time, what we've done to that patient is actually wiped out the cells that matter, the NK and T cells.

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=91) So my fight for the last twenty years is, here's a surgeon from South Africa, this doctor working on pancreas transplant, and talking to oncologist, and he says, "Everything we've been doing so far has been wrong.

[1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0igr3cS6h6Ic/en/chemotherapy-and-immune-cells-nk-cells-and-t-cells?t=105) We've actually treated cancer wrongly."
