>As the world waits with bated breath for the outcome of the on-going clinical trial of HIV vaccine in South Africa, scientists in Nigeria appear to have hit the bulleye in the search for the effective medical cure for HIV/AIDS.
A research team at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), Abia State led by Prof. Maduike Ezeibe has been able to prove that Medicinal Synthetic Aluminium-magnesium Silicate (MSAMS), which it developed, can cure HIV/AIDS.
The result of the clinical trial of the antiretroviral efficacy of MSAMS in male and female HIV/AIDS patients was published in the British Journal of Medicine & Medical Research 18(11):1-7, 2016; Article no BJMMR.29018.
It was also among the papers presented last Wednesday at the World Virology Conference 2016 held at Texas, U.S. Though Ezeibe could not attend the conference because of his inability to raise money for his flight tickets, the organisers insisted that he sent a video presentation, which was played and applauded at the conference.
Speaking with journalists at the weekend on the apparent lukewarm attitude of Nigeria’s health authorities to his medical breakthrough, the professor of Veterinary Medicine said that since 2014 when he was issued with the national patent right (Ref. No. NG/P/2012/639, 2014) no further step had been taken to commercialise it or get the international patent right by Nigeria.
“We Africans lack confidence in ourselves,” he lamented, adding that the medicine that he had discovered to have antiretroviral properties is an old medicine which had been in use.
“The only science we did is that we discovered that it has charges – negative and positive and since HIV has positive charges, the MSAMS use its negative charges to attract and destroy HIV,” he said.
It happened right under your shitposting nose Veeky Forums. .
>it's taken this long medical researchers truly are brainlets aren't they?

And? Why does his race matter you cunt? He's a more worthwhile human being than you ever will be, fucking kek.

>And? Why does his race matter you cunt? You happen to hear once in a while that some African scientist offered a dubious proof to a conjecture and stuff like that.

Fair enough.

AIDS has had "hopeful developments" for thirty-five years. This is nothing new.

Igbos from Nigeria/Ghanna supposed to be pretty damn smart. 98 average iq i think. Comparable to Germany.
But still,

Looks like typical african """"""science""""""

Didn't find anything on viruses, but there is some sufficient evidence to say that voltage, particularly of positive polarity, has effect on pathogens. It's not too crazy to think viruses aren't affected by these charges, especially considering the importance of proteins in transferring their genetic material: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17537127

There is literally nothing good about AIDS. It's a disease solely affecting gays, drug users, and people who associate sexually (99% anally transmitted) with those. And third worlders.
Jacob Jenkins
My thoughts exactly.

The real question is: does HIV generate electrostatic fields? If so, if a patient with HIV is accelerated will it emmit light? I think a new power source is on the day, clock is ticking
Ryder Jenkins
Can we get an actual link to the paper? My institutional library ain't showing shit.
Aye. It says it's been patented, so maybe that's the reason for the vaugeness. Its usually pretty clear when a technique shows some promise as a treatment and it'd have been snapped up. But it kind sounds like over reaction to bullshit "promise". Is it a charge dependant ligand? Does it imobilise HIV? Or break it down? What are the details on what it does in organisms. Has it had any luck in animal trials? There are a heap of ways to stop HIV, just that none of them work/are safe in humans?

Whoops, retract some of that, didn't read and absorb fully (genius posting while at work)

The news reports this rubbish all the time. Doubt it.

This is terribibble.
We need more people dying, not living. Stop looking for immortality. You are not helping.
>Aim: Clinical trial of antiretroviral efficacy of Medicinal synthetic Aluminum-magnesium silicate (MSAMS) in male and female patients. >Methodology: HIV/AIDS patients were classified as, male-patients and female-patients. Each was treated, daily, with MSAMS (50mg/kg) and immunace extra-protection® (1 tablet). They were tested before the treatment and every month, for viral loads and CD4-lymphocytes counts. When their viral loads became undetectable they were tested for HIV-antigens and HIV-antibodies. >Results: Mean pre-treatment CD4-lymphocytes counts of male patients (483.67±93.01) was slightly (P=0.88) less than females` CD4-lymphocytes counts (502.43±82.73) but after 8 months males` CD4s proliferated (3696.67±508.54) more (P=0.0040) than females` (2282.86±116.40). The lymphocytosis continued so that by Month-10, females lymphocytes (2992.80±106.54) approximated (P=0.127) males` Month-8 counts. The male-patients tested HIV-negative after 8.00±0.00 months while the females tested negative after 9.71±0.18 months (P=0.00). >Conclusion: MSAMS-Nanoparticles terminate HIV-infections by mopping the virus from organs/tissues and elicit lymphocytosis. Synergy between antiviral effect of the Nano-medicine and lymphocytosis cures HIV/AIDS. >Keywords :MSAMS (Positively and negatively charged ends; Nanoparticles, Silicates); Destroys infected ‘’sanctuary’’ cells (negatively charged); Mops HIV (positively charged); Elicits lymphocytosis.
Just so you know guys, despite its name, the journal is Indian.
