[0:00] Highlights
Say, a middle-aged woman who wants to fight aging and stay youthful — how do you approach that? Blood, in fact, is a place where healthy substances, healthy components mix with waste components. If you call it dirty, it's very dirty. The body's waste stays in the blood before it's expelled from the body.

[0:25] Where does anti-aging start?
For women, my advice is to work from the inside out. Our health philosophy, our working philosophy, is to start at the cellular level and fight aging from the inside out. Inside, we deal first with the blood. It's like a room that you clean regularly. Blood, in fact, is a place where healthy substances, healthy components mix with waste components. If you call it dirty, it's very dirty. The body's waste stays in the blood before it's expelled. And on the outside, we suggest using the body's own healing components. Everyone's body has self-healing components, a capacity to heal itself. We extract these self-healing components for skin care and anti-aging.

[1:09] What therapies does naturopathic medicine use?
Naturopathic medicine has many therapies. There's a naturopathic textbook called Clinical Naturopathic Medicine, over 1,700 pages long. It covers a great many therapies, and from it I chose nearly 11 — about 10. The naturopathic therapies include ozone therapy, detox therapy, mitochondrial therapy and homeopathy. We also have an integrative anti-cancer therapy, an integrative anti-aging therapy, and hormone therapy.

[1:35] What is CAR-T?
It only works once it's in a cell. Usually stem cells or immune cells? Either immune cells or stem cells. For example, what the Americans do now with CAR-T cells: they take the cancer patient's immune cells out, and change their DNA, change the genome. After that, they're infused back to treat the cancer.

[1:53] How does North America do prevention?
So where does prevention show up in America? Prevention — the most common example: supplements sold on every street. Supplements. The most basic form. China sells them too. Yes, China sells them too. In recent years China has been selling supplements; people are more aware now. Canadian family doctors actually screen you regularly and book your appointments. That part should count as fairly well developed in terms of prevention. In Canada, the family doctor system is part of Western medicine, so it doesn't cover naturopathic medicine. But some doctors, some family doctors, depending on the situation, will recommend some of these naturopathic therapies. I see. Wonderful. After talking with you today, I feel I've learned a lot about medicine.
