Dear Diane Winters,
Thank you for bring this to our attention.
I'm not sure about it being a "New Science" Seems to me that an old
style "Scientist" has done what should have been done when
observations of these anomalies first came onto the scene.
Once biochemists get to work on DNA samples and drug houses get hold
of the idea that there may some"Miracle" cures that they can patent
and exploit they will become headline news. Until they analyse the
proteins will await developments, as they say on TV news, "Within the
next ten years" ! ! ! .
Nano and Nanno are buzz words at the moment. Just means that they are
in a size range from about one thousand thousand thousandths of a
metre to one micron (1/1,000,000 metre). About the same range as many
Viruses. Some could be just as nasty.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
Redhill,
