Electron Deficiency: The Hidden Reason Chronic Illness Persists

Podcast Description: The Missing Piece in Chronic Illness (Electrons + Blood Flow)

Schedule a Discovery Zoom Call https://drhughwegwerth.com/discovery-call/

If you feel sick all the time and nothing seems to “stick,” this episode is for you. In this talk, Dr. Hugh shares a simple idea: many chronic illness cases are linked to being “electron deficient.” That means your body may not have enough negative charge to run well.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• What “electron deficient” means and why it matters for healing
• Why short-term fixes may help for a bit, then stop working
• How the body depends on electrons to support energy and health
• Why tiny blood vessels (capillaries) matter most for real healing
• Why blood cells can clump together when charge is low
• What “zeta potential” means (simple version: the charge around red blood cells)
• Why smooth blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients

A Simple Picture Dr. Hugh Uses

• Big blood vessels = about 1% of your system
• Tiny capillaries = about 99% of your system
• The point: real healing depends on the “small stuff” working well

Key Idea About Blood Flow

• Red blood cells need the right charge so they don’t stick together
• When they stay separated, blood can flow better through tiny capillaries
• When they clump, it can slow delivery to tissues

Tests and Clues Mentioned

• Blood pH (needs to stay in a tight, healthy range)
• Sedimentation rate (sed rate/ESR) as a possible sign of clumping and inflammation

Solutions Covered in the Episode

• Grounding (“Vitamin G”) to support electron flow
• Phosphatidylcholine (PC) to support cell membranes and healthy blood cell movement
• Support the glycocalyx (a protective lining in blood vessels that has a negative charge)
• Stabilize blood sugar
• Support minerals + hydration
• Fix the gut (because healing is harder when the gut is unhealthy)
• Address toxins like mold and heavy metals that may drain the system

Who This Episode Is For

• People with chronic illness that won’t improve
• People with fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, or poor circulation
• Anyone who feels like they have tried everything and still feels stuck

Main Takeaway

• Healing works better when your body has the charge and support it needs.
• You don’t need to suffer forever. You may just need a guided plan.

Hey, community, this is Doctor Who coming at you again, and it's been a while since I did a webinar, and this is going to be a doozy of a webinar. And hey, if you are out there and you have chronic illness, chronic disease, you want to watch this because this is a whole different viewpoint on chronic illness and chronic disease. And this literally took me well, I mean, I've been practicing 26 years. It took me 26 years to come up with this kind of information, this kind of viewpoint on exactly what chronic illness is, whether you're suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, fibromyalgia, maybe got chronic sinus infections, maybe you were hurt by antibiotics, fluoroquinolone Cipro. You need to watch this because if you are missing this component, in my view, you're not getting the maximum benefit, the maximum healing of your God given healing ability. So let me go through this right here. So if you have a chronic illness, you are what we're gonna be talking about today. You are electron deficient. So if you have a chronic illness, you are going to be electron deficient. So what does that mean? You are not going to have enough electrons in your body to create health in your body if you have a chronic illness. So the whole lecture is on if you have enough electrons to be healthy. Because guess what? Your entire body, everything focuses and works on electrons. If you are electron deficient, nothing's going to take place, nothing's going to hold. It might work for a little bit, but you're not going to have any long term results. So in life, you know, I study a lot and I can tell you that this book right here, The Chiropractic Manifesto two, changed my whole viewpoint on mitochondria, on electrons, on chronic illness. Now, what this book has done for me is it in life you go through life and you have like cognitions. You have all this information about all this healing different aspects, and all of a sudden you read a book and boom, everything comes together. This is what happened when I read this book right here. And this is the book right here. It is a paperback. You know what? And I have not read a paperback in a long, long time. And I'm going to start reading paperbacks because this was amazing. It was amazing to have a paper book. And I'm just going to flip through some of these pages right here, so you can just see. Give you a better insight on this. Um, let me see here. So these pages right here. Okay. You can see these pages are marked up. Right. So there is tons and tons. Look at this page. Tons and tons of highlights right here that I went through. And I've been able to connect many, many dots that I've had confusion about. Uncertainty about that are now certain through literature. And I hope this can benefit you because if you're out there suffering, you do not need to suffer. You just need a specific guided plan to get you better with specific guidance. If you're watching this on YouTube, give me a thumbs up and subscribe to this station. Share this piece of content. If you're hearing this on a Apple podcast, give me a thumbs up. Share it. Because we have to get this information out there so people can understand how to get well. Okay. So how I wanted to make this analogy is how your body thrives on electrons is I'm going to be using this little graph right here. So in here. We have 1% and then we have 99%. Now this is of the blood flow of your body. Now what I want to show you here is 1%. 1% of your large arteries and veins carry the blood and then the rest, the 99%. The microscopic capillaries. That's what we're going to talk about here today is the capillaries here transport 99% of your blood. So down here we have the macro vascular system which is 1%. Then we have the the macro. Then we have the micro the small which is 99% of your system right here. Now if you look at this right here, the capillaries, you have basically 84,000 miles, 84,000 miles of capillaries. Right. 84,000 miles of capillaries. So what I'm going to do here, this is just a straw. It's a basic straw. Right. I think this is about ten inches if I blow in here. If I would blow in here for ten minutes Or even five. I would be literally exhausted. So you're telling me what the research has shown or what we've been taught, not what the research, what we've been taught is like the heart itself. Just by pumping the blood, right? Just by pumping the blood, the heart pumping, it's going to pump through 84,000 miles of blood flow with a little muscle pumping just like this. No way. That does not happen. It does not happen on blood pressure. It happens on electrons. And if you are electron deficient, you're not going to have good blood flow. You're not going to have mitochondria, good mitochondria, you're not going to have good electron flow in your entire body. And I'm just using the analogy here is through the arteries, because you can imagine 84,000 miles the heart that's one beat two beat. So the heart alone does not create enough energy to pump blood throughout your whole entire body for 88, for 48,000 miles. So in here we have the microvascular versus the, uh, the micro, which is here versus the macro, which is the large system right in here. Okay. So here we have the heart. And then in here this is research. So I do try and provide them my research articles. So in case anybody wants these research articles that's all going to be right down in here. You can research this. And you know this is what I've come up with. The research is it shows that basically there's 60,000 miles of blood flowing arteries. Right. And this is where it shows right here that there is 84 miles of Kepler. So capillaries are the vast majority, the smallest blood vessels. Capillaries constitute nearly 80% of the total of the body's blood vessels. So how important is this to have good capillary function and healing? It is very, very important. Now the people that I see have chronic illness. And guess what. They do not have good electron flow. They are very deficient in electron flow. Okay. So this slide is very very important to understand. So you understand that it's just not about the heart pumping blood. And it goes through 84,000 miles. So check this out right here. This is basically saying we're going to have the red blood cell here. So we have the red blood cell right here. And then we have the capillary. So if you remember the capillaries are the smallest delivery of blood flow to your entire body. Those are the smallest. Now what this is going to go over here is the size of these. So we have the red blood cells and then we have the capillaries. Now check out the size right here. The red blood cells are eight okay. So that um just means really really small. So the red blood cells are eight and the capillaries are 5 to 7. So what does that mean? That means that the blood the red blood cell is actually larger, right. It's actually larger than the blood vessels. So up in here we just have a little diagram right in there. So you can see in here the red blood cell. You see how it's kind of going through this area right here okay. And you see how this red blood cell is squished right there. So the red blood cell is actually larger than the capillary where this is going out of right in here okay. So let's just take a look at that. How the heck if it's just a matter of the heart pumping blood? And if I have this little straw that I was using and I try and blow that, and let's say there's a little pee in there, I would not have enough strength in my lungs to push it out. Right. So this is actually pretty astonishing when I actually read this. And this is 26 years after practicing, and I'm finally this book actually finally connected the dots. We are trying to push a red blood cell through a capillary, and the red blood cells actually larger than the capillary that we're trying to get that blood flow through. And if you have any chronic illness at all, you have some degree of inflammation or another. And any time you have any kind of chronic illness or chronic inflammation, guess what happens to your electrons? They go down. What I mean by down is you don't have as many electrons in your body as what God designed you to have, and that's going to cause a degree of chronic illness and disease. Now let's just take a look at like the blood. Okay. So we have the pH of the blood. Now the pH of the blood should be around 7.35. Now why is that so important? Is the blood is 7.35. So right here what we have here is seven is neutral. It means that there's an equal positive and there's equal negative. This is what alkalinity is. You either have positive elements in your body or you either have negative elements in your body. Now when it comes to the blood, what we want the blood to be is a state of 7.35, which is slightly. What? Negative. Right. So the blood is slightly negative. It has a pH of negative. And why is that? Because you're going to see as we walk you through here how important it is to be negative. And here it actually even says here that if you're at six, if you're at six, what's going to happen to you? You're going to be dead, right? You're going to be dead. So we want these electrons, a blood flow or pH of blood of 7.35 is more negative electrons than positive okay. This is the key principle right here. More negative okay. So what happens with the red blood. So this is a really great diagram right here. So there's something called the zeta potential right. Which that's just a fancy word for basically saying that your red blood cells have negative charges around the outside. So these things right in here all these things here are negative negative Negative. You see how they have all these negative charges? And why do they want to have. Why do we want to have our red blood cells negatively charged? Because they, uh, they don't attract. Right? They, they're there's repulsion. Right? They actually you can't get these close enough. It's like two magnets. Remember, when you're a kid, if you stick two magnets together and there's a negative, negative side, they don't come together. There's repulsion okay. And there's a thing here. A fancy word that just says that Zeta z a. It's a fancy word for saying, does your body have electrons or does it not? And then if we look in here this is an abnormal zeta. What happens to the red blood cells. They're clumping together because you are what electron deficient right. So if you don't have enough electrons in your body, you're going to have an array of problems starting one with not proper blood flow in your extremities, organs, heart, liver, pancreas, whatever it's going to go because there's not enough electronic Charge to go through that system here. Okay. So this just comes here. Anyone that wants to like get the reference down here. This is going to be on my website. The reference is going to be right there. But this is just what it says about Zeta potential. Zeta potential in blood. Refers to the electric charge on the surface of blood cells, like red blood cells, which create a repulsive force. Repulsive force? They they want to go away from each other, keeping them from clumping, ensuring smooth blood flow, blood flow and stability. And not only that, what about all the nutrients that are in your entire body? They are delivered through blood flow that is proper. Now there's a test, and this is the test that actually checks for the zeta potential right here. This checks for that right here. It's called the sedimentation rate in here. And this one here you can see here this is a 40. This is high. You can see the range there. You can see the range right here is between 0 and 30. I like to see this less than ten there at 40. So what does this measure I'm just going to read these things just so you can understand. A high sed rate okay. That's a sed rate indicates that the blood cells, the RBCs, are settling more quickly. This occurs because there is a reduction in the negative surface charge fewer electrons. This reduces charge. This. This reduces charge. Lessens lessens the electrostatic repulsion away from each other between the cells, allowing them to clump together more easily and forming larger aggregates and causing problems all day long. That's what this is right here. This right here is those clumping of those cells all day long. We do not want that. Here's another example of this test right here. You can see here these are negative electrons in here. These are negative electrons negative negative. You see how they repulse right. And then here we don't have them. They clump together. Now the way I would describe this is like if you have a big rock right, when you don't have enough electrons, you have a big rock. They're all clumping together just like right here. They're clumping together. If you take this big rock and drop it in the water, it's going to go down quick, right? So you're going to have a high sediment rate. It's going to be high versus if you grab some sand and just throw a bunch of sand there, it's slowly going to go to the bottom right. So that's the analogy that I want you to understand is when you're looking at these things in here, this would be the big rock in here. This is like throwing the rock down and it drops down very fast. High sediment rate. This would be the grains of sand, very slow sediment rate. And this is what we want in here is the slow sedimentation rate. Now let's go over some solutions because the good news is guess what. There are solutions and there's multiple solutions. I can't cover every single solution here. But I do want to give you some actually real life solutions in here. And there's a thing called vitamin C. Vitamin G, what the heck is vitamin G? It is actually a vitamin and it is called vitamin G. And it is. What is it in the name of this is grounding. Vitamin G is grounding. And you can see right in here this would be before grounding. You see how the cells are kind of they're clumped together. And then we have you know there's only two negatives. And then we hear after grounding the blood red blood cells are separated. So this right here this is going to be definitely more healing potential. This person is going to be healing at a much higher level. Now when we talk about healing we're talking about any disease known to mankind. You need to have electrons in your body to heal properly. Okay, so I want to show you some research here on the grounding. So earthing grounding the human body reduces blood viscosity a major factor in cardiovascular disease. So grounding increases the surface charge of red blood cells and thereby reduces blood viscosity okay. Grounding increases the surface charge. And we're talking about there. We're talking about they're talking about negative charges here. So it's increasing grounding increases. The negative charges on red blood cells reduces blood viscosity. Clumping grounding appears to be the one of the simplest, one of the simplest and yet most profound interventions for helping reduce cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events. Now, this is just one thing, not just cardiovascular, but we're talking about global health and global healing here When we talk about this, here's another study. These are published studies. These are published research studies that show this conclusively. Here's another one that's really, really important when Earth connection is restored through grounding. Okay. Now I have a video on grounding. It's very simple. You can get a grounding, uh, mat. You can get a grounding sheet. There's a lot of things that you can do to get grounded. And basically you're just sleeping on a sheet that's connected to the ground. And it's very simple. When the Earth connection is restored through grounding, electrons flow throughout the body. So what do you do? You ground yourself on this grounding sheet or grounding mat and electrons from the Earth, because the Earth is negatively charged flow in your body. God given and that's free. Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress while also reinforcing the body's own defense mechanisms. Electrons transfer. Electrons transfers are the basis of vital. Virtually all antioxidants and anti-inflammatory electrons. So electrons are the basic building block for quenching oxidative stress. Oxidative damage and the Earth may may very well be the ultimate supplier when the supply is restored. Humans have the potential to thrive. Touching your skin to the Earth is perhaps the perfect natural anti-inflammatory, supporting biochemical and physiological effects that enhance healing. And this can be done through grounding, which is you sleep on a sheet, you don't actually have to put your hand on the ground, but you can. Or your feet if you can go outside. But you can do this every single day if you go to my website. Doctor. Com just type in this link right here. The shocking science behind grounding sheets. And I go through the whole thing. I tell you where to buy your grounding sheet, where to get it. It's very, very specific. Okay, let's go over the next solution. And this has to do with the health of your red blood cells. So you can see right here this is the red blood cell. Right. And then you can see this outer layer right here. This is very very critical. What this outer layer is right here. That layer right here. That's a bi lipid layer. And this whole membrane right here is phosphotidyl choline. So within the cell within the red blood cell you have phosphotidyl choline that's wrapped around the side. And phosphatidylcholine is a very very critical nutritional component. All my chronic people right. All people that have chronic illness are phosphatidylcholine PC. In other words phosphatidylcholine is abbreviated PC. Phosphatidylcholine are deficient. Right? So when you look at the cell membrane, the outside of the cell membrane right here, that makes the little lip right there. This is bi phospholipid layer here that's made out of phosphatidyl choline. Now when you look at the red blood cell how it has to get through these different areas in the capillary. So this is just a demonstration that shows you how it needs to fold right. So you see how it needs to fold in these different little areas and components right here. And getting back to this little straw right here. If it doesn't fold even if it folds properly, it's going to be very tight down into the straw into the capillary. So it's not just about blood flow it's about the electrons. So if all the blood flow, if all the red blood cells have enough electrons, when they start to move, they repel each other pushing the red blood cell forward in your body. You can see here that it has to take very unusual shapes. In here. The red blood cell membranes are made of partially of phosphotidyl lipid phosphatidylcholine, specifically from choline containing phospholipids called phosphatidylcholine. Okay. So this is really, really critical. And this is not just in your, uh, red blood cell. This is in every cell in your entire body. You can see right in here is this has the phospholipid bilayer. You see this phospholipid right here. This is phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine. All this stuff right here is phosphatidylcholine. This is really critical that you have enough phosphatidylcholine. Because guess what? If you don't have enough phosphatidylcholine, your red blood cells are not going to be able to bend and curve and get into these little arteries like they need to. Then on top of that, check this out. This is the this is what this little phosphatidylcholine little molecule looks right here. Right. So you can see these little squigglies right in here. You see those squigglies right in here? That's a squiggly. Right? Right in here. That's those squiggly lines right in here. Now, also right here, if you can blow this up, I'm going to put an arrow right here. You see that negative there. That negative charge. Let me blow that up. You see that negative. Phosphotidyl. Choline. The head of it is negatively charged. That's crazy. It's negatively charged. Right. That's negatively charged. So the negative phosphate, which is rich, which is right up in here contributes to local electrical effects. The membrane surface being negative, the zeta potential. And guess what this is. Mitochondria and neuronal function. Big time. Now if you go to my website just Google this right here. Go in there and type in the cell membrane detoxification. And you will get this um, webinar that I did. It goes over everything. It goes over the exact products that I use. There's a very specific Facilitate a cooling that I like to use for my clients that are sick. This is just another quick example of this. You can see this right here. This is so this is the so this is the the mitochondrion here. Right in this mitochondrion where we have this kind of this inner mitochondrial membrane in here. So we're really looking at these really squiggly lines right here. This is where energy is made. And the phosphatidylcholine that's these little yellow particles here are phosphatidylcholine. Now guess what this is. Electron electron electron electron. So this whole mechanism here is electron dependent. So again your mitochondria need electrons to make energy. If you're globally lacking electrons this is not going to work the way God designed it to work. And then on top of that if you don't have enough phosphatidylcholine in here, these membranes, the mitochondrial membrane, the inner part here which is called the Christie, are going to be crusty. And if they're crusty, they're not going to pass electrons on to one another to produce energy. Okay. So this is critical. This is just a quick slide. Just saying that the mitochondria, the mitochondrial membranes have a distinct phospholipid composition. And it's mostly made out of phosphatidylcholine right here right here. Now phosphatidylcholine can be made in these other things as well. So if you supplement with phosphatidylcholine you're going to automatically make these other things down in here. Okay. Another solution. We want to give many solutions as possible. There's a thing here called the glycocalyx. Can you just stay with me the glycocalyx. What you're looking at right here is you're looking at basically if this is the capillary, right. You're looking at this cross section right here. Cut in half. Now what they find right here. So just imagine that we're cutting this down the center right here. What they found in research here is all your capillaries have this layer right here which is called the glycocalyx. This word right here, the glycocalyx right. The glycocalyx. Now check what it what it says. It says negatively charged. Glycocalyx negatively charged. So now we have in here I'm getting excited because I love this is all making sense. We have these red blood cells right here. The red blood cell which is what negatively charged right. Then we have the glycocalyx right in here and that is negatively charged. So we have red blood cells negatively charged. We have the glycocalyx which is negatively negatively charged. And this is why these red blood cells can be moved and propelled into 48,000 miles of capillaries because of everything is being negatively charged. And guess what? If you have chronic illness, guess what happens to your glycocalyx? Guess what happens to electrons? They go down. Okay. This is research. So there's lots of things that can be done to restore your electronical balance in your body. Lots of things. And I don't have time to cover every single one. So this is just another great visual, right? I like to give you visuals so you can understand what I'm talking about. Visual visual visuals. This is a visual okay. So you can see here this would be this is the Glycocalyx right here okay. This is the Glycocalyx in here. This is the Glycocalyx right in here. Right. And then those red blood cells, they literally just like bounce back and forth. You don't want the red blood cells to be sticking to these endothelial cells, right. You want them to hit that and kind of bounce off. You actually don't want them to hit that. So the glycocalyx allows the free flowing red blood cells and all the other things magnesium, potassium, sodium to go down the capillary and get to where it needs to go. Now here's the Glycocalyx. This is just a really great picture. So this is massively blown up. So they've taken a microscope. This is of a capillary cross section. This is a massive blown up capillary here right. Okay. So what you're going to be what you're really looking at here is this is the capillary. And then down in here down in here what you're looking at is those are the little fine little hairs right. So that's these things right in here. That's those little fine little hairs. And you see that negative. That's the electron meaning that that has a negative charge to it a negative charge to it. So in here these things have the negative charge in it. And those red blood red blood cells do not stick. Why? Because they are negative. Here's another one. Here's an example of a vascular endothelium. Healthy glycocalyx. You see nice healthy glycocalyx. Now look at all the negative charged items we have right here. Negative negative negative. You see all the negative in here right. All this stuff is negative. Then we come over here. Here's the glycocalyx. This is bad damage. Glycocalyx not nearly as thick. What happens to the red blood cells? You see, the red blood cells are sticking together now. Sticking together here they are separated. So this is what's happening when you have a diseased body. A body that has poor glycocalyx, a body that has poor electron flow. Right? Or or or poor, not enough electrons to go in your whole entire body. Just things start to go downhill quick. Just here's another great example. Here's healthy. And then it continues to get sick and sick and sick, sicker and sicker and sicker. You can see the glycocalyx is really damaged down in here, and a lot of things are getting down in there and causing tons and tons of problems. So what are some things that you can do? What are some things that you can do to help your glycocalyx. Okay. First thing here and your electrons is start taking phosphotidylcholine go and look at that webinar that I did go and look at that webinar that I did, uh, that I talked about. Phosphatidylcholine. It helps build cell membranes, anchors the glycocalyx, stabilizes negative charge. Second thing we want to do is stabilize your blood sugar. Take sulfur products, sulfur, negative charge. Eggs, garlic, MSM, glutathione a lot of things. Take minerals and and make sure that you hydrate. Make sure that you fix your gut. You got to get your gut healthy. If your gut is not healthy, you're not going to be well. So you got to get your gut healthy. And then finally here, this is what I call the miracle how the body works. Check this out. This is absolutely crazy. Crazy. God designed our bodies to be healthy and not sick. So here we have the red blood cell. The red blood cell has a negative charge of basically -10 to 20. Doesn't really matter what the end there the MV. It's just negative right. Let's just try and simplify it. It's just negative. Now the white blood cell count, which is your immune system, right. The white blood cell count is your immune system that has a negative charge of negative one and negative five. So red blood cells have a more more electrons around them than the white blood cell. Now why would God design our body to be like that? Because when you have inflammation, right? When you have a cut, when you have a damage, guess what? You want your white blood cells to come together and start getting that infection. If you cut yourself, cut your arm. You want the the white blood cells to come there and start to aggregate and stick together. So therefore they don't have a lot of negative charge on them. Not like red blood cells. Like if you cut yourself, you want the red blood cells to go there and stop the bleeding, right? And everything changes. But the white blood cell, you want them things to stick right away and and stick. And here the white blood cell changes charges depending on the immune activation. So if you have more autoimmune or more inflammation in your body, there's going to be more changes in the white blood cell. And they are going to have even, um, their negative charge is going to go to basically they're not going to have any negative charge at all, and they're going to come to stick together. Because if you don't have any negative charges on the white blood cell, this is when they can all stick together and they can start to fight a pathogen. So I just asked chat is white blood cells. White blood cell charge is more variable. Yes. Varies depending on the white blood cell type. Neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes changes drastically. This is critical changes drastically when white blood cells are activated by the immune system. They can become even less negative. So when I when I this can be a little confusing. Less negative. Less negative means that instead of having, let's say, an analogy, ten negatives, maybe they only have one negative charge, right? So there's less negatives. They can stick together and they can start attacking whatever it needs to attack. Now if you have chronic illness, you don't have negative charges, right? Your blood cells don't have negative charges. And your white blood cells don't have any negative charges. So they're always aggregating. They're always come together causing problems causing autoimmune disease in your body. So this is just a tip of the iceberg. And I wanted to put this content out there because this has put a lot of connected a lot of dots for me when I see clients now, when I see people that have chronic illness, this is a huge component. Now that I'm thinking of what can we do to put more electronic charge in this person's body deliberately right now? Grounding is a very, very critical element in that you buy it once and you have it forever, right? You got to fix the gut. You got to do vitamin D, you got to eliminate food sensitivities if you have mold in your body or heavy metals, those things will all deplete, will deplete electrons. Because metals. Let's say you have metals in your body. Metals have a positive metals have a positive charge, right. So if you have mercury you have a positive charge. If you have lead that's a positive charge. Metals are positive just the way God designed them. They're positive. So you have positive and you have negative. What happens is your global your total global electrons. They go downhill. Same thing with mold. Mold causes devastation in the cell membranes. Then you cannot pass electrons back and forth between all these different cells and mitochondria. Anyway, uh, this has been a longer one 33 minutes, but I wanted to get this content out there because now people can watch this. And if you're out there suffering, get Ahold of me. Don't continue to suffer needlessly because you don't need to suffer. And remember, there's where there's help. There's hope. Take care. Bye bye.
