That's an expansion of the work by J. Edwin Blalock.

Sure, there's some "hope" in all of this, but I'm still skeptical.
Some Gulf War veterans got squalene antibodies, and a nasty new neurological "disease" that goes unnamed, from certain lots of an anthrax vaccine given to them. Vaccines alone can be fraught with problems for those with autoimmune diseases. Squalene is one of the adjuvants in vaccines and supercharges the immune system to create the antibodies to, for example, the flu.
In some people, that can cause an autoimmune disease to present.
This sounds more like an attempt to make one more drug than to help to cure anything. I'm more hopeful of the research being done by other scientists, such as Angela Vincent.
