For a young alcoholizer – Woltika,
scientists have nevertheless invented a simple, cheap and reliable method to quickly rid the body of alcohol, writes the BBC.
They proceeded from the fact that our liver is responsible for the purification of blood from alcohol by 90%. No one can make her work faster, but you can help her: if the lungs are connected to the full program, then alcohol can be removed from the blood much faster.
Yes, in fact, nothing had to be invented, just the doctors adapted the ClearMate breathing apparatus for their needs, which since 2019 has been approved for use in the United States as a first aid for carbon monoxide poisoning.
“This primitive, low-tech device can be produced anywhere, there are no electronics, no computers or filters,” admits Joseph Fisher, one of the authors of the idea, anesthesiologist at Toronto Central Hospital. “.
Laboratory experiments in which five volunteers were given a vodka-based cocktail showed that the ClearMate eliminated alcohol from the body three times faster than usual.
The result is impressive, but the scientists themselves admit that five volunteers are not enough for reliable conclusions, and the researchers did not experiment with large doses that can really threaten health.
