Like Airborne, but real? Biomedical engineers created a powder that boosts immune system cells.

you guys are retarded this is a break through in medicine lol

[VVolfFang]

Great idea! Just hopefully, it won't boost the immune system to make it attack the healthy cells in our bodies....

[xavrb20]

NO I completly disagree with that! it will kill us. Imagine you dont want them how do you exept to take them out plus they expend to infinity. If you play Metal Gear Solid 4 maybe you will know that it is a real bad idea

these break throughs are great but they are not done in the best interest of the people, if something good comes of their research only the very rich can afford it...its bitter sweet news.

@VVolfFang Well, you are right! but I don't think they will prescribe it for people with healthy immune systems. Not even for people with HIV, because if they stimulate cd4+ multiplication, they will stimulate virus replication also. I think this drug would be useful for HIV- people under chemotherapy or any other condition that could depress the colonies of cd4+ and other white blodd cells.

sounds great to challenge a variety of diseases. but i'm feared of what the military forces for example might get out of this... they always abuse such "great" things for more power and destruction

Maybe -- but something like that is total sci fi right now -- fantasy even.

With technology THAT sophisticated we could manufacture rather than grow our own food, or anything else we wanted, In fact, all want would disappear. With that kind of technology, we could create amazing constructions in space - up to and including a Dyson sphere.

If the singularity were to come (and that's really what you're talking about), not even the most fanciful comic books could predict its outcomes

Wrong kosoricluka. Next time you pass judgement online, try finding out first what has been said in the discussion. Grow up. ha ha

[kosoricluka]

No u missed the point... AIDS is a syndrome but HIV is a virus that infects the LT4 cells and is responsible for AIDS. If we could constantly keep the LT4 cells of an infected person functional with this new drug then the immune system could slowly eliminate the HIV virus and cure AIDS... :|

[teemuruskeepaa]

If the channel tells somebody has made a drug when it is just a hypothesis, believing the channel is idiotic. And by the way, you are an asshole. Now you tell me which is worse? ha ha

[kosoricluka]

No the immune system is as good as it is by itself and knows the difference between healthy cells and unhealthy ones (the so called cell identity card).

So boosting it would just increase its performance and not modify its functionality... :|

[kosoricluka]

WTF ? Unprotected sex ? How the hell does that relate to immune system boosting ? o_O

U spammers should stop using the net seriously... -_-'
