I believe that Aethlon's filter utilizes lectins which are derived from certain plants, and bind to the virus in the filter.
Their lectins are derived from plants:
Amaryllis (Hippeastrum hybrid)
Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis)
Daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus)
Red spider lily (Lycoris radiate)
Leek (Allium porrum)
Ramsons (Allium ursinum)
Taro (Colocasia esculenta)
Cymbidium orchid (Cymbidium hybrid)
Twayblade (Listera ovata)
Broad-leaved helleborine (Epipactis helleborine)
Tulip (Tulipa hybrid)
Black mulberry tree (Morus Nigra)
The other plant lectins that were antiviral against both included:
Tabacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum)
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)
Intersting that the body produces its own lectins, and, according to this article, many diseases correlate to low levels of human lectin.

My question is - During the flu season, is there a recognized, SAFE LECTIN SUPPLEMENT I can purchase?
----On the one hand...
Why You Should Avoid Lectins in Your Diet!
Foods That Contain the Most Lectins:
Legumes (especially soy) Grains of all Kinds
Raw Nuts Dairy Corn
Nightshade Vegetables such as Eggplant, Tomatoes, Potatoes & Peppers

----On the other hand....A viral "antibiotic" equivalent, produced by the body or diet?
".. lectins play crucial roles in the function of cells and organs, and in the immune system of animals and humans.
"Recent advances in..research..lectins mediate key interactions at the virus-host interface, controlling viral spread and/or activation of the immune system.
"This review reflects on glycan-lectin interactions in the context of viral infection and antiviral immunity.
"Finally, the review outlines how recent advances in the glycan-lectin field might be transformed into promising new approaches to antiviral therapy.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24188132
----A third view: There are good, beneficial lectins, and there are harmful.
".. certain foods contain lectins that can do serious harm to susceptible individuals. Therefore, there are “good” and “bad” lectins in nature- those that promote health and others that contribute to disease.
" The most common sources of damaging lectins are the gluten grains (wheat, barley, rye), dairy products, legumes (e.g. soy, peanuts, beans), and corn.
I wish they would conclusively resolve this, so I can spend more money at my healthfood store for the good lectins.
