Yes, I'm aware of the Blalock connection, and that this approach has been under observation for quite some time. However, this is the first human trial and, as such, caught my attention(months ago). I was hoping that someone might have some info about this study that I have missed in my searches... ...r.e. Squalene: State of arousal of immune system may not matter much if this strategy works in the manner intended. Indeed, if this molecule didn't get the job done other than when the immune system is in a state of quiescence, it wouldn't be much good anyway. Not holding my breath either!...Thanks for responding, ....patrick
