Very good questions. I can’t answer them; not a doctor, nor ever took a single step in that direction during my career.
But oh, boy, am I ever grateful I wasn’t the first person they ever approached with a proposed cure such as this one!
Of course, you’d be desperate for a cure, but it seems soooo creepy. But no more creepy than the first brave souls who allowed themselves to be vaccinated with “dead” polio virus to “inoculate” them against live polio virus (was polio the first?... Not sure of my “facts” there).
Oops, that makes it sound like I'm calling them creepy... So let's squeeze in a little phrase...
more creepy than it must have been to the first brave souls
