aids cure (attempt 2)

Why not just put little mini-marines in them with flame throwers?

Nope heat salt(of some form) and water

I stand corrected; When sodium hydrogen-carbonate (baking soda) and vinegar react, it creates Carbon Dioxide from the reaction. I remember also reading somewhere that the reaction causes minor heat, possibly from loss of electrons maybe

How about just putting sharp bits of broken glass in 'em?

 

[ImpyTimpy]

Why not just microwave the patient? It'll heat the body up enough to kill the virus everywhere. Much more effective then injections.

Will all acids kill the gp120 envelope?

Heres the problem Baldrick: Anything nasty enough to kill something as big and powerfull as a cell will eat your gp120 envelope for breakfast.

If heat is given off, it would be a more or less standard exothermic reaction.

CaCO3 + 2HC2H3O2 turns into CaC2O4 + CO2+ H2O

Due to the fact that the products of the reaction are more energetically stable than the starting point energy is given off.

I am aware of this, so this is my plan:

Instead of putting a toxic chemical/RNA strand in the gp120 envolope, put two chemicals that are non-toxic in themselves, but become toxic when they react together;

My acid + base idea was this:

gp120 envolope 1: Contains sodium hydrogen carbonate

gp120 envolope 2: Contains vinegar

Inject one, let it get attached to the infected cells, then inject the other gp120 envolope. I don't know about the technical feasability of this though...
