I think the problem would be the ability of the virus to hide in the cells of the bone marrow which help produce the cells of the blood. Maybe more promise would be to the other extreme of reducing the core temperature of the patient to include the many "hiding" places of these lethal agents of the plant world. I really don't know, but I do know that an answer is there....somewhere, we have just not stumbled over it yet.

I wonder if they could not isolate a "dead" strain of this virus and introduce it into a healthy human, and closely observe what reaction the body had in combating this "intruder", to see what antibodies the body itself produces in a healthy person. I am sure that it has been attempted, it is so simple. It is the same way they produce snake bite antidotes, by injecting snake venom into a healthy animal such as a "horse" and then make the anti-dote with the anti-bodies produced by the animal. The serum "globulins" which are proteins are taken from a gradually desensitized animal(horse) and are used for rattlesnake bites, etc. There must be someone in the world that has been exposed to this virus and their body as naturally defended itself, if we could just isolate such a person and find out just how this persons body defeated the invasion, perhaps clone an anti-dote from their blood proteins.
