UPDATE Nov 2010: HYFNs have been approved for manufacturing as Fullerene Water Solution (FWS) drink in Ukraine by the Ministry of Health as of Nov 2010. It's the first nanotech based health drink in the world. For information about availability contact me privately by email.
Many of you have been asking about the availability of C60 Hydrated Fullerenes or Fullerene Water Solution (FWS) from Ukraine
As you may have heard, a fullerene water drink called FWS passed human clinical trials in Ukraine in Jan 2010 and is undergoing a final larger toxicity trial ( chromosome and daughter chromatide studies), which so far have show negative results as to any toxicity, as you would expect. Another form of carbon called activated charcoal has been used for ages to sequester toxins in your stomach.
For the people who do not know, natural and synthetic fullerenes or Buckeyballs or Carbon Sixty C60, are football shaped molecules named after Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome. They were the first known natural nanoparticles discovered by Curl, Kroto and Smalley in 1985. Ten years later they won the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1996 for their discovery. Fullerenes were touted as the silver bullet in medicine, but because natural pristine fullerenes are not water soluble, the hype quickly died down. Ukrainian scientists were the only group in the world that figured out how to make insoluble fullerenes water soluble without increasing its toxicity (hence the name Hydrated Fullerenes or HyFN’s). In Ukraine, they are now registered as a natural food supplement. You find natural fullerenes in nano-quantities in molasses i.e all dark bread (which come from heating sugar cane), in the Sudbury meteor crater, every time you light a candle and in all lightening discharges (soot and carbon black turns into fullerenes) and in natural springs ( health spas in Russia.)
In trials numerous health benefits have been demonstrated (including highest know anti-oxidant, anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-radiological, anti-inflammatory (ie diabetes, blood clots, Alzheimer’s, dementia and other inflammatory triggered diseases) anti-cancer and prevents cancer metastasis.
I just obtained a limited supply that is going to doctors and research collaborators.
The Institute in Kharkiv Ukraine (IPAC) has a new web site- part of which is in English (the science is sound but the grammar needs some serious work!!)

This could make 50-60 % of the world’s more toxic and riskier drugs and pharmaceuticals that provide the same or fewer health benefits obsolete in 15-20 years.
