I sent the online article address to my son who is in that business. His reply is below. It opened my eyes. I wonder if we are doing that.
Yup. That’s classic immunology.
Very similar to giving antiserum to people bit by a rattle snake

Comment by Sherry in Idaho 03.12.20 @ 3:40 pmRight as Wuhan was beginning the world’s journey down our current path, DH was hospitalized with Guillain-Barre. Within a couple hours of his first dose of immunotherapy, he was already stronger. And, thankfully, released right before our county had its first case of COVID-19. Amazing what resetting one’s immune system can do – I hope the treatment continues to show promise!
