PATIENTS?

00:01:00.894 --> 00:01:03.430
>> IT IS A MEDICINE THAT

00:01:03.496 --> 00:01:04.764
CONCENTRATES RADIOACTIVITY ONLY

00:01:04.831 --> 00:01:09.068
IN CANCER CELLS AND AVOIDS THE

00:01:09.135 --> 00:01:11.237
UPTAKE BY HEALTHY CELLS.

00:01:11.304 --> 00:01:14.641
IT HAS THE PROPERTY OF TARGETING

THE RADIOACTIVITY TO PROSTATE

00:01:17.110 --> 00:01:19.446
CANCER CELLS, AND BY INCREASING

00:01:19.512 --> 00:01:22.415
THEIR CONCENTRATION IN THESE

00:01:22.482 --> 00:01:24.284
MALIGNANT CELL, IT LEADS TO THE

RAPID DEATH OF THE MALIGNANT

00:01:28.388 --> 00:01:29.389
CELLS AND THE LEADS TO THE LIFE

00:01:29.456 --> 00:01:31.458
OF THE HEALTHY CELLS.

00:01:31.524 --> 00:01:35.195
IT IS THERAPY THAT AVOIDS DAMAGE

00:01:35.261 --> 00:01:37.497

00:01:59.118 --> 00:02:00.920
OFF?

00:02:00.987 --> 00:02:02.121
>> YEAH, IT HAS BEEN VERY

00:02:02.188 --> 00:02:03.456
REWARDING TO SEE THESE DRUGS

00:02:03.523 --> 00:02:05.291
THAT WE HAVE BEEN OPTIMIZING IN

00:02:05.358 --> 00:02:07.360
THE PIPELINE FOR MANY YEARS MAKE

00:02:07.427 --> 00:02:10.930
IT THROUGH THE ARDUOUS PROCESS

00:02:10.997 --> 00:02:14.267
OF GETTING F.D.A. APPROVAL AND

00:02:14.334 --> 00:02:18.671
GETTING APPROVED FOR

00:02:18.738 --> 00:02:20.540
DISTRIBUTION TO PEOPLE.

00:02:20.607 --> 00:02:23.710
WHAT IS MORE IS THE E-MAILS I

00:02:23.776 --> 00:02:25.645
RECEIVE FROM PAT PATIENTS WHO

00:02:25.712 --> 00:02:27.213
BENEFIT FROM THESE MEDICINES.

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.581
THEY ACKNOWLEDGE HOW HAPPY THEY

00:02:28.648 --> 00:02:30.984
ARE AND HOW IT ENABLES TO BE

00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:33.219
WITH THEIR FAMILIES LONGER AND

00:02:33.286 --> 00:02:35.121
ENJOY A GREATER, BETTER QUALITY

00:02:35.188 --> 00:02:36.956
OF LIFE, SO THAT IS EXTREMELY

00:02:37.023 --> 00:02:38.558
REWARDING.

00:02:38.625 --> 00:02:39.692
>> SO, 46 YEAR, DON'T YOU WANT

00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:40.460
TO RETIRE?

00:02:40.527 --> 00:02:41.761
DO YOU NEED TO REST?

00:02:41.828 --> 00:02:44.297
IT IS SUCH A LONG TIME.

00:02:44.364 --> 00:02:46.699
>> I HAVE THOUGHT OFTEN ABOUT

00:02:46.766 --> 00:02:48.234
RETIREMENT, AS A MATTER OF A

00:02:48.301 --> 00:02:49.769
FACT, I SPEAK WITH MY WIFE OFTEN

00:02:49.836 --> 00:02:51.004
ABOUT IT.

00:02:51.070 --> 00:02:54.007
IN ALL FAIRNESS, IDEAS COME TO

00:02:54.073 --> 00:02:56.376
ME EASILY AND VERY RAPIDLY AND I

00:02:56.442 --> 00:03:00.280
HAVE SO MANY REALLY GOOD IDEAS

00:03:00.346 --> 00:03:05.985
FOR TREATING SUCH DISEASES AS

00:03:06.052 --> 00:03:09.722
RHEUMATOID A ARTHRITIS, INFLEW

00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:17.931
INFLUENZAAND COVID-19 AND BONE S

00:03:17.997 --> 00:03:19.899
AND MATTERS OF THIS SIMPLE

00:03:19.966 --> 00:03:22.201
NATURE. I WOULD FEEL ALMOST

00:03:22.268 --> 00:03:25.471
NEGLIGENT OF ME TO RETIRE NOW

00:03:25.538 --> 00:03:27.874
AND NOT DO WHAT I CAN DO FOR

00:03:27.941 --> 00:03:29.409
PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL SUFFERING

00:03:29.475 --> 00:03:32.378
FROM THESE VARIOUS, YOU KNOW,

00:03:32.445 --> 00:03:34.013
PATHOLOGIES AND ABNORMALITY.

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.748
>> WE ONLY HAVE 30 SECONDS LEFT,

00:03:35.815 --> 00:03:37.617
BUT I DO WANT TO MENTION YOU

00:03:37.684 --> 00:03:39.052
HAVE SOMETHING IN THE PIPELINE

00:03:39.118 --> 00:03:41.154
FOR MALARIA AND THAT COULD BE

00:03:41.220 --> 00:03:43.122
YOUR NEXT FDA APPROVAL.

00:03:43.189 --> 00:03:45.191
CAN YOU TOUCH OF THAN?

00:03:45.258 --> 00:03:49.462
THAN THAT? -- THAT?

00:03:49.529 --> 00:03:51.864
>> WE DEVELOPED A HOST BY

00:03:51.931 --> 00:03:53.032
TRAPPING THE RED BLOOD CELL AND

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:55.168
BY TRAPPING IT INSIDE, IT

00:03:55.234 --> 00:03:58.004
PREVENTS THE PARASITE FROM

00:03:58.071 --> 00:04:00.073
PROLIFERATING AND IT IS

00:04:00.139 --> 00:04:02.408
OUTPERFORMING ANY MALARIA

00:04:02.475 --> 00:04:03.710

00:04:03.776 --> 00:04:06.312
WE'RE SEEING VIRTUALLY 100%

CURES IN 48 HOURS, AND THAT IS

00:04:08.781 --> 00:04:11.351
REMARKABLE, SO WE'RE INTENDING

00:04:11.417 --> 00:04:12.986
TO COMPLETE THE APPROVAL PROCESS

00:04:13.052 --> 00:04:15.054
FOR THAT AND MAKE IT FREE OF

00:04:15.121 --> 00:04:16.656
CHARGE, AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE IN

00:04:16.723 --> 00:04:17.724
THE WORLD.
