What are free radicals?

How can we get rid of free radicals in the human body?

• In chemotherapy and radiation the goal is to destroy all cancerous cells because they are weaker than normal cells to this treatment. What if there was a way to create/introduce a "super cell" that looked vulnerable to the free radical that could decompose the free radical? Or what if you could introduce weaker cells into the body chemistry that the free radicals would go after because they were more attracted to that easy mark and then when you accumulated a bunch of them there, then zap those and keep that process going until you eradicated the free radicals? Can blood be spun up to isolate the free radicals and filter them out?

  Very good question! In a few years I might be able to answer them, but I haven't started med school yet! ;) I will need to look into that a bit more! Keep up the ideas, research and curiosity! This is how cures are made!!
