Stanford engineers develop tiny robots to treat patients from the inside

If you’re not a fan of swallowing pills, how about swallowing a robotic doctor instead?

A team at Stanford University has developed what it calls a ‘millirobot’ smaller than a fingertip, which is able to enter the human body and have a look around, identifying and treating complex diseases.

The team are working on several different robot designs, including one that can ‘crawl’ using the motion generated by magnetic fields, and can fold itself over to get around obstacles.

The ‘spinning-enabled wireless amphibious origami millirobot’ (might we suggest a catchier name?) can carry medicine until it reaches the precise location in the body it’s needed in, allowing for super-targeted drug delivery.

The project is still in the very early trial stages, not having yet reached animal testing, but you could be looking at the future of medicine.

If you can actually see it, of course.

    These Synthetic mRNA patented gene therapy vaccines have nanobots in them, what on earth do we need more tiny robots inside us for when the nanobots are already doing whatever they do inside our bodies.
    Well, not mine, I have not been vaccinated and this is why: 3 minutes from preparation to job done!!

    Everything else you have read, or heard, is totally irrelevant – how simple is that?

    Covid Crusher: Mix one heaped teaspoon of Iodine table salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If sore, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the soreness goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don’t have any soreness at all, when you flush – job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia, there too.

    My simple salt water cure, kills all Coronaviruses and viruses, as soon as you think you have an infection, or while self isolating, before the viruses mutate into the disease in your head and body, for which there is no cure – that is, after you have been out shopping, or mixing with people with potentially, Omicron or Delta viruses, or any other virus.

    It washes behind the eyes, the brain bulb, brain stem (Long Covid), The Escutcheon Tubes to the inner ears and the top of the throat which is at a point roughly level with half way up your ears and not where your mouth is and down the back of your throat, when sore.

    I have been doing this simple cure for over 29 years and I am and others, never sick from viruses and there is no reason why any of you should be either – when your only alternative are those vaccines!!

    I do my simple preparation, after I have been out and about, or come into contact with people who have been vaccinated – it has kept me safe – and I hope it keeps me safe for the foreseeable future as Graphene Oxide is in the very air we breathe, outside, as well, but now from the vaccinated!!

    Simply put, if the inside of your nose is dry and crusty, you are OK, if your nose is runny, you really need to do a salt water sniffle as quickly as possible and monitor the results, to see if further salt water sniffles are necessary, but later on in that evening – so far – I remain immune from potential Covid infections, doing just this.

    No vaccines for me – ever – pass on my free cure and have those pass it on too – just imagine, for 29 years, I have NEVER been ill from viral infections and there is no reason why you should be either, if you do as I do and it costs zero too!!

    And tiny robots to do what else? Only gates and fauci know.
