A recent article from The Telegraph discussed a radical new method for removing toxins from the blood with magnets. Dr. George Frodsham was studying how magnetic nanoparticles bind to cells in the body in order to make them show up on scanners when he realized if you can make something magnetic, you can remove it from the blood. He took the idea and started a company called MediSieve that essentially sieves disease from the body. “In theory you can go after almost anything. Poisons, pathogens, viruses, bacteria, anything that we can specifically bind to we can remove,” said Frodsham.
