recently scientists came up with a new technique to remove the plaque material that accumulates in the brains of alzheimer's patients. they did this by making a magnetic chemical that binds to the plaque material with a mechanical filter you would have in a vein that had a magnet in it and would pull aside the chemical with the material bound to it as it passed through that part of your body. i wish i could find the article and reference it here because it was fascinating and had a really high success rate. the people undergoing the therapy actually substantially improved.
what i'm wondering is, could a technique similar to this be used to remove selective metabolites from aquarium water to prevent RTN from spreading or used to improve the health by eliminating the chemical warfare the corals play on each other?
and how difficult would it be to create magnetic substances that could bind to the metabolites that we would want to remove? as long as you're not dosing iron i guess you wouldnt have much of a problem using a filtration like this.
