A doctor from Cluj, Dr. Horia Maniu, proposes a unique research method for the annihilation of SARS-CoV-2, with ionizing radiation, radiation that could influence the electrostatic field of the virus, and his idea is supported by specialists in the field, reports Agerpres. “Studying the results of some Chinese researchers, we found that there is a possibility of modifying the electrostatic field by exposing SARS-CoV-2 to a beam of ionizing radiation, with potential functional or even structural changes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, to attenuate its a little infectiousness or even to cancel it “, said for AGERPRES, Dr. Horia Maniu.

Prof. Dr. Gabriel Kacso, from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy (UMF) “Iuliu Haţieganu” from Cluj-Napoca, primary doctor of radiotherapy and medical oncology, coordinator of the medical team from the Amethyst Radiotherapy Center Cluj, supports the idea of the Cluj doctor.
“I think there are two levels of research. One is in the analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has shown us that it is a formidable adversary. There are four proteins that interact with each other and give it a certain behavior. It is the protein spyke (S), envelope protein (E), membrane protein (M) and nucleocapsid (N) The most important are the communications between M and N and there, this electrostatic field that keeps them in a certain shape and that influences viral multiplication and, through communication with protein S, infectivity, there we can influence them with various forms of energy applied from the outside “, Gabriel Kacso declared for AGERPRES.
The professor from Cluj also says that external energies can influence the electrostatic field of SARS-CoV-2, adding that research should be done very carefully and, possibly, be done in a first phase on viruses with a structure similar to the one that causes COVID-19 disease.
“This extra energy that comes from outside changes the electrostatic field, the energies that are created between these residues in the respective proteins. Including ionizing radiation, the ones we use for diagnosis, x-ray or therapy. Those, on the one hand, we can investigate. “Changing the behavior of the virus. This means researching all the rules carefully, because you can’t play with such viruses in culture. You need security levels. We can’t move our rays either, because they’re a lot of accelerators or devices.” we can take them out to irradiate anywhere, they can’t take SARS-CoV-2 virus cultures out of the laboratories either and then a middle way is to use models of SARS hepatitis virus (…) which does not harm the villain who gives COVID- 19 and let’s see what comes out “, explains Gabriel Kacso.
Horia Maniu, who is a dentist and former teacher at UMF Cluj-Napoca, contacted a number of doctors and researchers in Romania and around the world to try to materialize his idea.
“We offer the technique available to do this stage of irradiation on cell cultures, on experimental models, insofar as the plan can be safely developed in cell cultures offered by virology institutes. I think the viral model can be borrowed from the already published data, that model of hepatitis, we need an analysis, magnetic resonance, in spectroscopy, so that we can highlight these residues, links between proteins.This would be done at technical universities, which would be another partner, in addition to virology institutes, which supply cell cultures.Exposure to various forms of energy, including ionizing radiation, can be done in various institutions.Perhaps it also reacts very well to the magnetic field.We do not know what this research will generate “, said Gabriel Kacso.
