Abstract: A method for preventing and treating one or more disease states including the steps of altering the diet of an individual and then administering a drug to the individual. Plasma vitamin C level is reduced from a first level to a second level that is lower than the first level, such that a pharmacological response of the body of the individual to a drug at the first level is different from the pharmacological response of the body of said individual to the drug at the second level.

Abstract: The present invention provides for apparatus for the conditioning of air for human use. The apparatus is comprised of: (a) a fluid flux generator for generating a flux of particulate precursor material; an activator for activating said particulate precursor material in a gas-to-particle reaction for forming atmospherically unstable products for the encapsulation of harmful airborne agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for protecting a vehicle from a plurality of harmful airborne agents. The method comprises the steps of generating a plurality of charged particles from a charged particle source mounted on said vehicle for imparting the vehicle with a positive charge and irradiating the harmful airborne agents with radiation from a radiation source which is also mounted on the vehicle for forming positively charged harmful airborne agents for protecting the vehicle by electrostatic repulsion.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method for the separation of a mixture of differing particulate types comprising the steps of: a) selecting a coating material; b) coating said coating material onto at least two different particulate types in said mixture of differing particulate types for forming a mixture of coated particulate types; c) measuring the fracture strength of at least one coated particulate types in said mixture of coated particulate types under at least one applied stress subjected at a controlled rate; d) applying at least one substantially uniform stress on at least one coated particulate type in said mixture of coated particulate types at a controlled rate for fracturing at least one coated particulate type in said mixture of coated to a greater degree than for at least one other particulate type in said mixture of coated particulate types for forming a mixture of differentially fractured types; e) separating said mixture of differentially fractured types for separating said mixture of d

Abstract: The present invention provides for an apparatus for protecting transmissive surfaces from infectious airborne agents. The apparatus comprises a means for providing and directing a sterile flow of charged breathable gas in the form of an electrohydrodynamic flow over a transmissive surface; and means for influencing the movement of said electrohydrodynamic flow for protecting said transmissive surface.
