The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
127. Dr. Mink Chawla: Blood Filter Seraph-100 Shows Promise To End Long COVID

Wow. And it works very effectively to do this. And so it started with a DARPA program. We got smarter. We saw it working for so many things. And I think we now understand why. So it is still emergency use authorized for COVID. Yeah. So in Europe, it is fully approved for pathogen reduction, and it has been since 2019.

The U.S., and this is not a knock against anyone, but we tend to lag behind approvals in other places in the world. It was emergency use authorized just for COVID. And it still has that use. And we are currently submitting our full approval to the FDA. And we hope to have full approval for COVID and hopefully secondary sepsis in the next six to 12 months.

Yes. So it's interesting is that we remove the virus itself, which is a very good thing. And there's lots of reasons why that's a good thing. But we also remove inflammatory mediators and I'll get a little bit into the weeds here, but things called S-flit and other things called damps and PAMPs. And we'll leave links to this for everyone, you know, so they can go read about it.

They're really interested, but these are danger and pathogen associated molecular patterns. And these are basically things that tell the immune system to be upset. And so I think what people need to understand is we have certain biologic systems that have enormous redundancy and inflammation is one of them. And everyone's heard about inflammation. They're like going on a low inflammation diet.

This person's inflamed. They have this lupus. Inflammation is killing them. And everyone thinks, well, this is such a bad problem. But if you cannot inflame, you die from infection. So inflammation is part of our defense system against infection. And you remember when we were all cavemen and women, we didn't have antibiotics. So you needed inflammation to protect you.

So we have lots of redundancy in our inflammatory pathways. And this is to protect us. This is evolutionary biology at work. So not only does your bloodstream and blood respond to a fully intact bacteria, a fully intact virus, it will respond to a particle of it, a piece of it, a piece of bacterial DNA the body can recognize, and it recognizes all these things.

In fact, the body can recognize everything. So the mRNA vaccine had to be modified because this system called the Toll-4 receptor would recognize it and stop it. So they had to change the actual structure of the mRNA to have it get past our defense network to have it work. Wow. So all this redundancy is there and the filter removes a lot of these things that get the immune system upset.
