When it is described as "natural" treatment, one's suspicions are immediately aroused as visions of anti-vaxxers float past exposing babies to diseases like whooping cough at whooping cough parties to make them immune.

One imagines this would be a favorite with Indian "doctors" fleecing people.

This stuff is quite complex.

Tumors escape immunes or tumor immunity can be suppressed by various cell types including tumor cells, stromal cells and numerous soluble mediators such as arginase, prostaglandin E2, TGF-β, IDO, adenosine and NOS TGF-β, IDO and IL-10 suppress the activity of T cells and natural killer cells as well as cause the ex of DCs, CD4+and CD8+T cells.

Moreover, due to changes in epigenetic machinery of tumor celecules (CD80/CD86) is down-regulated which prevents successful antigen presentation and tumors that engage PD-1 receptor on the surface of activated T cell which cause the energy and exhaustion prevents antigen presentation.

Collectively, tumors escape immune surveillance via inhibitory

No money to be made in the Cold & Flu angle and puts a lot of lab-rats out of work.

Is clean Hydrogen a lop eared wonky Greeny's dream come true ?


GREEN MACHINE: HOW HYDROGEN IS POWERING THE RIGHT BUS FOR THE PLANET
Marcus Roberts Thursday 5 December 2019 17:23


Powered up: one of the best new features of the buses will be USB charging points for phones and laptops

Next year, Transport for London (TfL) will roll out the gas-powered double deckers across three of its central routes – good news for passengers and those who have to breathe in the capital’s air on a daily basis, says Marcus Roberts

Cities all over the world are setting ever more ambitious targets for carbon neutrality and air quality – often ahead of national and international authorities. London is no exception, and is planning to pioneer cutting-edge technology – the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell double decker buses (single deckers are already on the streets).

These are electric, but unlike battery-powered vehicles that use lithium-ion batteries that require recharging, such as Nissan Leaf, say, the Tesla range or BMW i3, they use a chemical reaction “on board” to create the electricity that powers the motors, so the wheels on the bus go round and round, as the nursery song goes.




Ryse and Wrightbus have won a 10-year contract from TfL to convert 20 buses to run on hydrogen (Wrightbus)

Incidentally, one of the best new features of the buses will be USB charging points for phones and laptops, making buses more convenient for their users.

The company that will be making the new hydrogen buses for TfL is Wrightbus of Northern Ireland, which went bust this year and has been rescued by Jo Bamford, of the JCB family fame.

Wrightbus made the innovative and distinctive (but not entirely successful) new Routemasters that can still be seen on the streets of the capital – the so-called Boris Bus. By buying the company which makes the buses, Bamford believes he can leverage the expertise of his own company, Ryse Hydrogen, to help decarbonise London’s buses by 2030. Indeed, before Wrightbus went into administration in September, it had been planning to work with Ryse Hydrogen to create London’s first hydrogen-powered double decker.

Ryse is already an important player in this emerging technology. The company says it is on track to become the leading green and affordable hydrogen supplier in the UK, and with the contract to supply TfL with the first hydrogen London buses is on track with the mission to decarbonise the entire UK’s bus fleet within the next decade.




Hydrogen technology is an important part of the solution to carbon emissions, says Jo Bamford (TfL)

Air quality would be a major beneficiary of the new technologies being applied to public transport – and essential to meeting the World Health Organisation’s air quality guidelines by 2030.



Carbon dioxide from cars, buses and other transport traps heat in the atmosphere, preventing it from escaping from the Earth, adding to climate change and more severe weather patterns – hurricanes, floods, droughts and so on.

This company is using a wastewater byproduct to fuel an Australian-first hydrogen project

Western Australia (WA) may soon be a world-leader in hydrogen production, with a project to produce low-emission hydrogen and graphite from sewage set to launch next year.



The $16.65 million project uses technology first developed at The University of Western Australia, and later acquired by Hazer Group. It involves excess biogas – primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide – being converted into low-emission hydrogen and graphite, using an iron ore catalyst.

The hydrogen produced could be used for vehicle fuel and chemical feedstock, while the graphite could be used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, water purification and advanced materials.

“This is a marvellous application of the Hazer process onto renewable biomass, with the carbon being sequestered as solid graphitic carbon, which has potential applications in batteries,” said Professor Chua from UWA’s School of Engineering, who led the initial research.


The Hazer process

“It is heartening that UWA technology is assisting with the Australian economy, especially in the renewable energy sector, in terms of generating employment and building resilience toward a low-emission future.”

Under the recent agreement, delivery of biogas is scheduled to begin in 2021 and continue for three years. Western Australia Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan said the project was well-aligned with the state’s Renewable Hydrogen Strategy.

“Hydrogen is an increasingly important renewable fuel source, and this world-leading project will showcase our State’s capability in the hydrogen industry through the commercialisation of a technology developed right here in WA,” MacTiernan said.

“This initiative represents an important first step towards kick-starting renewable hydrogen production capacity and driving the use of zero-emissions transport fuel for buses, heavy trucking, waste collection, and light vehicle fleets.”

Now they are proposing converting existing petrol and diesel car engines to running on hydrogen just like the LPG conversions. The Hydrogen Energy Revolution is just around the corner.

The electric fan boys and girls are scowling in their unsafe dead end dud electric inconveniences as they wait 3 hours in the queue at the recharge station.



Hydrogen for all the cars
30 June, 2020


Hydrogen for all the people.

There is a growing demand for hydrogen fuelling networks, following the introduction of commercial Fuel Cell Electrical Vehicles from most leading car manufacturers, although according to the principles of the circular economy, there are millions of cars in circulation around the world using internal combustion engines, namely Otto and Diesel Cycles.




TecnoVeritas was awarded an R&D project under Portugal 2020, with such purpose. The project named GreenH2ICE, as the name indicates is all about the production of Green hydrogen to be used by Internal Combustion Engines, allowing a fast, but also an economic penetration of hydrogen and a drastic reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.


The objectives behind the project are, the production of one high-efficiency electrolyser, capable of operating from renewable sources, eventually installed in or in the vicinity of the service stations, to supply hydrogen as a fuel to cars.

A second objective was the research and development of a conversion system to get the car converted at a price not much bigger than that of converting it to LPG.

The car to demonstrate the concept is a DACIA, equipped with Otto cycle internal combustion engine. The system developed, allow the use of gasoline as before or hydrogen as required, so hydrogen can be used inside the cities while ensuring an outstanding autonomy.

Also, with Diesel engines, a system was developed to allow the use of hydrogen, however, this is still under adjustments, it is possible to be available shortly. In short, the systems allow the vehicle to be dual or multi-fuel.

Hydrogen as Natural gas is suffering from the “chicken and egg” problem, but we at TecnoVeritas are convinced, that this is the way to make to happen, by creating users, for the deployment of more and more hydrogen fuelling stations, therefore spurring the decarbonisation as well as the circular economy.

The project congregated several different pieces of knowledge, namely, mechanical, electronics, chemistry, electricity, and legal.

Regarding the legal, knowledge, it is interesting to refer that EU has its laws and regulations (2007/46/CE) for the use of hydrogen as a “fuel” for internal combustion engines since 2007, however, when hydrogen is referred as a vehicular “fuel” it is immediate its association to Fuel Cells.

As, internal combustion engines are very well known for more than one century, and therefore incorporate a multitude of technological improvements, they are now in some applications achieving thermal efficiencies slightly above 50%, which are in the same magnitude as the fuel cells, except with higher reliability to offer, so there are no reasons not to consider them as an option along with the fuel cells.

So right now, TecnoVeritas is capable of integrating hydrogen in existing gas stations networks, or establishing entirely new hydrogen fuelling networks, with on-site and/or centralized hydrogen production depending on the project economics. TecnoVeritas can build it all – from production to distribution.
