Don’t touch anyone for about 20 years, and you will still need six months to a year of antibiotics to cure the infection, but at least you have an enhanced, even over-sized enhanced, younger liver, this study would appear to show.
Pretty extreme potential fix, but easy to try…
No, please don’t do it.
Please don’t inform Anthony Fauci. Please!

The liver regenerates itself if you don’t poison it too bad.
I never expected to read this.
OK lets all go get leprosy. 😮
I’ll take Milk Thistle, eat healthy, exercise, and no “Grandpa’s cough medicine “…
Well, induced botulism is used to treat certain nervoe-muscle disorders. Nature can be amazing.
And, these other idiots want to enhance human livers to extend lives.
Or, am I seeing this through jaundiced eyes?
Anyway, an interesting paper...
Kynurenines in the Pathogenesis of Peripheral Neuropathy During Leprosy and COVID-19
“Ancient disease has potential to regenerate livers, study finds (Leprosy infection benefits livers)”
Unfortunately, leprosy rots out the rest of your body.
Livers regenerate on their own. One big problem is when damaged and dead and sclerosed liver cells block regenerating cells from proliferating to their normal anatomical position.. Gotta get the scar tissue to dissolve.
This finding may explain why extra tissue growths (nodules) occur on the bodies of untreated lepers.
There is a genetic disease that causes overproduction in the liver of, Alpha-1 proteinase. Alpha-1 causes irreparible lung damage. Basically, the enzyme is like scrubbing bubbles that never stop scrubbing and so tears the lungs up. There is no cure for this ‘genetic COPD’ although there is a somewhat controversial treatment, prolastin, that costs thousands of dollars through “speciality pharmacies” that requires weekly infusions. It would certainly be an astounding breakthrough if an off switch could be more cheaply produced from lab-rat ‘rejuvinated’ livers that could actually cure this genetic anomoly and eliminate the cost and need for weekly transfusions.
My liver is great. Unfortunately I’m missing and ear and a nose.
