Drexler's work is not easy to understand and harder to implement but
it is based on the best understanding we have of the physical world.
That physical world included our bodies and those stored in LN2.  If
we are going to repair them, we have to gain access to the world of
the very small.

If you have better ideas, don't keep them secret.
