Listen, anytime you eliminiate a foreign object IMO its a plus. Since
endotoxins are "toxins" IMO its a plus and is IMO beneficial to the host.. Now whether or not it works in "sepsis" remains to be seen.
Sepsis is a broad disease that is basically not even definable.
Yes, there is considerable controversy over "what is sepsis".
So in summary, IMO, is removal of toxins benefecial to the host>yes.
Is removal of toxin benefecial in sepsis? One must first define sepsis. If you define it as "endotoxin driven" sepsis, then one must say
"potentially".
All IMO, all disclaimers.
