An alternative to shots?

| No Comments

Dr. Guy Cardineau, research professor, Arizona State University now has a patent for growing genetically modified plants containing vaccines that fight human disease. The genetically modified crops of fruits and vegetables are freeze dried and converted into a powdered form to control the dosage of the vaccine. In this way, vaccines can be stored and administered more easily and safely than the current practice of using needles. Maybe more than one antigen per fruit, or a fruit cocktail that would avoid the many jabs and multiple schedules now required.
