University Of Benin Discoveres New Cure For HIV/AIDS by Fatdon(m): 5:46pm On Jan 08, 2013
Authorities of
Nigeria’s University of Benin (UNIBEN)
located in the capital of southern Edo
State on Tuesday announced the
discovery of a new herbal drug that
can cure the dreaded Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS), urging carriers of the disease
to give it a try. Dean of the School of Basic Medical
Sciences of UNIBEN Isaiah Ibeh unveiled
the herbal drug to reporters, saying
it had undergone series of successful
tests at the laboratory and by
medical experts both in Nigeria and the United States of America, where it
passed through more critical tests. “We are at the threshold of making
history, in the sense that we seem to
have with us something that will
permanently take care of what over
time seems to have defied all
solutions. We are talking about the latest discovery of an oral drug made
from plants extraction in Nigeria for
the possible cure of the pandemic, HIV
and AIDS virus,” he said, adding that
research on the project had
commenced in 2010 and culminated in the development of the liquid drug
known as Deconction X (DX) or
Bioclean 11, for the cure of HIV/AIDS. “The existing retroviral drugs are
intervention drugs for the
management of AIDS, but our new
discovery is a possible cure,” he said
further. According to Ibeh, the university had
tried to look at the herbal drug first,
as well as its toxicological analysis
and discovered that it has a large
safety margin before unveiling it to
the public. “This means that if animals or human beings are exposed to it,
they will not suffer any serious harm
at all from the exposure,” he said. The Nigerian university also claimed to
have obtained a refreshing and
revealing result, having done
bacteriological analysis on the drug,
after which it looked at its effect on
the virus. “The drug had performed well on patients with the HIV virus
and had shown evidence of total
restoration of damaged tissues. The
result showed an increase in the body
weight of the individuals administered
with DX,” Ibeh said. He said further tests were being
conducted to determine the point at
which a patient will prove negative
after being administered the drug,
explaining that this verification
became necessary because it is what is used to measure whether an
infection was still there or not. “Preliminary results showed that of
the five latest patients orally
administered with the drugs within
seven months, three of them were siro
negative while two were still faintly
positive,” he explained, while appealing to government and other
relevant bodies to assist the
university with relevant equipment to
sustain the research.

How many people did they test it on. You cannot test it on one person and say it works, you must test it on at least 100 people to be sure it really works. if 80% gets cured then u know u have got a potent herb on your hands but if not then it is back to d drawing board.

What I learnt in school is that viruses don't have cure or is it not?
It'll be good if this is true, but hmm, naija!!
