Abstract

A method is described whereby a toxic or other unwanted substance which is bound to body protein in a host's plasma, cell membranes, or lipid materials such as adipose tissue, can be freed therefrom and rendered accessible for removal, modification or neutralization by engagement with a liberating agent, such as ethanol; and thereafter acting upon the freed substance to eliminate it from the host system or to neutralize or modify its effect within the system.
