Debuging Your Blood


Hi...I just read a very intresting article in the April 2006 magazine for Popular Science. On page 36 it has a very exciting article about cleaning blood of certain viruses. A small San Diego biotech research company named Aethlon Medical has created a divice that could save millions of lives, in the case of a terrorist attack using bioweapons. The small device is called the "Hemopurifier". It is a small tube 6inches to 1ft long, that would attach to one of your arteries at one end and to another at the other. There is a filter in the tube that has a certain plant-derived antibody called cyanovirin. The blood goes through the filter while the virus is trapped by the cyanovirin.
The human body contains about 5 liters of blood, using this purifier, it would only take 12 min. for all your blood pass through tube. It would take only a few hours to completely rid yourself of the virus. So far the new invention can catch such viruses as HIV, Smallpox, Ebola, Hepatitis C, and many more.

This invention could revolutionize the medical industry. We began taking notes today in class about Africa and it being the continent with the most cases of HIV/AIDS. If this product was distributed throughout the world, the virus could be elimanated along with many others. This small tube could save millions of lives throughout the world. The tube has proved effective on animals and will soon begin testing on humans, they said they were hoping for testing beginning at the end of this year. Hopefully all goes well and the tube can begin mass production to save a mass of lives very soon.
