The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of constant

direct electric current (DC) on the viral infectivity (Herpes Simplex

Virus type 1 & Adeno Virus type 5) without using antiviral agents or

other chemical disinfectants in vitro. It was found that direct current

(200 & #956;A in 10 minutes) fully inhibited viral infectivity. Probably due to

electrolysis and electro-osmotic processes affecting the genome

organization and capsid architecture, the viral particles lost their ability

to infect Vero cells. The applied current density in the above

experiments was 20 & #956;A/mm2 delivered from platinum electrodes. The

effect of DC on the viral infectivity was assessed by determination of

the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50). In conclusion, such a

selective tool can be used to establish a proved technique for

decontaminating biological fluids (like blood) from viruses.

This is within range of our std Beck and godzilla type of blood electrifiers, so

we'd expect to get some percentage of dieoffs of viruses using it an hour or two

per day on bloodstream. We would not want a total kill in one day, too toxic.

Herpes is a pretty hardy virus compared with some others like hep or hiv. It

can live outside the body and survive some contact with the air. Treating blood

alone would not remove hep-c or hiv virus, only a few percent of it. But if you

COULD get the current to the virus, you would reduce it: that is what the study

is saying. This aligns with the Einstein College study of HIV reduction,

tending to affirm it. The trick will be to develop ways to train current to

flow into the reservoirs of viruses around the human body. If it's in lymph

nodes, then electrodes over the nodes would be needed.

You can't just connect up a blood vessel to a device and clear up the big

viruses that kill people, in other words. But you could do it with a body suit

or some such thing that would contact the virus more directly!! It is now

confirmed that this is possible given the proximity to the virus of the device's

electrodes.
