00:15I'm the fourth generation on this farm in the mountains of Mid Wales. Our innovation
00:23here has been based on the discovery of the Black Mountains effect on daffodils.
00:34Daffodils grown at altitude in the Black Mountains of Wales produce more
00:38galanthamine than daffodils grown elsewhere. Galanthamine is an approved Alzheimer's drug.
00:51Alzheimer's disease comes with an enzyme imbalance in the brain. Galanthamine causes
00:57the opposite enzyme imbalance in the brain. So if you get the dose right you restore the
01:03equilibrium and slow down or stop the symptoms of the disease development.
01:24Daffodils produce galanthamine and other alkaloids essentially to protect themselves from grazing
01:30livestock. In fact, grazing sheep among the daffodils helps the production. Essentially
01:37we're using nature and working with nature.
01:53One of the joys of this project is that in daffodil season the fields are awash with golden
02:03blooms. It's really a sight to behold. It's quite uplifting.

02:29The second day of the autoimmune one is our business. It's pretty good. It's just
