God Bless Nigeria.....a great nation. The only extra proof will come from its use here in Nigeria. Once people using the medicine keep getting cured, the world will flock around the spot.

His method of nanoparticle is very promising. It was able to stop cancer at the University of Missouri, Columbia

Truely, when Bernard Omalu discovered concussion in sport men, every known medical journal would not accept his findings, everyone called him African quack doctor until the film "concussion" beam light on his medical breakthrough. Now he owns the highest medal recognition of American medical practise.

There is an element of politics in medical science and breakthrough. Don't join anyone to rip this apart. There is a silver linings in every cloud.

I understand the politics and snubbery of academia, plus the vested interests of Big pharma but you need to understand one thing. He may or may not have a cure I don't know. What I do know is no academic worth his salt will publish breakthrough research in this so called "British Journal of Medicine & Medical Research". It is not a recognized journal. The organizers of the conference are not recognized or reputable, in fact they are reputed to be dubious. It's like saying MMM is a reputable scheme because 1 person got paid.


Do your own research about the antecedents and credibility of the man, his university, his journal and the conference. it won't take you 5 minutes. Everything about this stinks of quackery. His university, his research methods, the journal and the conference are all 3rd rate, unrecognized, or fraudulent. This is like Jelili your mechanic telling you he has found a way to fix punctured tyres using eba and then going to his fellow quack mechanics at Bariga junction to announce to them his great breakthrough. Will you take him seriously?


The reality is HIV is a major disease and just like Omalu, you can't hide the truth for long. So if he indeed has a cure desperate people with HIV will find their way to him and if they are truly cured, many more will find their way to him and his reputation will grow to the point where the world can no longer ignore his work and just like Omalu, the establishment will pay attention. But experience tells me, he's had his 5 minutes of fame and he will go the way of all the other half baked Nigerian academics like Abalaka and Ibeh that claimed to have found a cure....never to be heard about again.

The cure for AIDS will create dollar billionaires, I can also assure you that whenever all these quacks come up with a "cure" for HIV, pharmaceutical companies are secretly looking at their claims and where it looks plausible they will either conduct their own tests secretly or try to buy the patent because whoever owns the patent for the cure for HIV will be the biggest pharmaceutical company of the 21st century. If nobody is contacting you it's because they've done secret tests and found your claims are rubbish.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
this post sounds like a pained scientist to me, maybe hes just jealous.
If he can be invited to present the research then its something to hold on to. You are not smarter than the world virology organization that called him and recognized his work. This article is aimed at defaming the professor and you sounded stewpid trying to also defame the institution

I love how - from this post - one can conclusively deduce the fact that you aren't very bright at all.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
i see sense in what he's saying, we need to see his methodology before jumping into saddist inclined decision. You don't know his methods and you haven't read his full work yet you speak like a jealous saddist

He writes like someone with an above average IQ. He provides [b]VERY STRONG [/b]evidence why we should treat this work with skepticism.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people here - including yourself - seem to be dullards.

stop displaying your crass ignorance and dispute his research with your own findings. Until you put up something tangible to disprove him then you will lack the moral/scientific right to say otherwise.

A research work in science is correct unless some other preexisting or postwork disproves it. You are the one making mockery of yourself here, you sit in the comfort of your room without any work to disprove a work that has been commended by the world virology organisation, are you brain dead?

If you feel he's wrong, get into the laboratory and disprove his findings, stop being stewpid.

This is the 21st century, Andy Uba fills a form online and gets a Ph.D, anybody can organise a conference. The journal and the conference are organised by the same people from India. Since this conference is what you are hanging your hat on, I suggest you read up about OMICS_Publishing_Group the organisers of the conference and the publishers of the so called British journal of medicine.

Prof is clearly a quack who fell for a scam!


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMICS_Publishing_Group


OMICS Publishing Group is a publisher of[b] open access [/b]journals that is widely regarded as predatory.[2][3][4][5][6][7] It issued its first publication in 2008.[8] According to a 2012 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education about 60 percent of the group's 200 journals had never actually published anything.[9]

Academics and the United States government have questioned the validity of peer review by OMICS journals, the appropriateness of author fees and marketing, and the apparent advertising of the names of scientists as journal editors or conference speakers without their knowledge or permission.[3][4][5][6][7] As a result, the U.S. National Institutes of Health does not accept OMICS publications for listing in PubMed Central and sent a cease-and-desist letter to OMICS in 2013, demanding that OMICS discontinue[b] false claims of affiliation with U.S. government entities or employees.[/b][6] OMICS has responded to criticisms by avowing a commitment to open access publishing, claiming that detractors are traditional subscription-based publishers who feel threatened by their open access publishing model,[10] and threatening a prominent critic with a US$1 billion lawsuit.[9]

History

OMICS Publishing Group was founded in 2007 by Srinubabu Gedela,[9] who remains the company's director.[11][12] It started its first open-access journal, the Journal of Proteomics & Bioinformatics, in 2008.[8] In 2012, OMICS Group had more than 200 journal titles, about 60% of which had no content.[9] By 2015, it claimed over 700 titles, but an article published by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation stated that "half of them are defunct, and the rest are suffering a credibility problem".[10]
Publishing activities

OMICS operates on an open access model, wherein the author pays for publication and the publisher makes the articles available for free. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, some open access journals are legitimate, while others are vanity publications "that accept virtually any article to collect fees from the authors." There is not always a clear distinction between the two.[3] The publication fee for OMICS journals vary from the low hundreds up to $2,700. OMICS also charges a withdrawal fee (stated as 30% of the article processing charge) should a paper be withdrawn more than a week after submission.
OMICS Meetings

In 2013, Jeffrey Beall reported that OMICS has added conducting "predatory meetings" to its publications activity[13] including under the ConferenceSeries banner.[14] An example of such a meeting is the 2016 International Conference on Atomic and Nuclear Physics, organised by ConferenceSeries, and to which Christoph Bartneck, an Associate Professor in Information Technology at New Zealand's University of Canterbury, was invited. With little knowledge of nuclear physics, Bartneck used iOS's auto complete function to write the paper, choosing randomly from its suggestions after starting each sentence,[15] and submitted it under the name Iris Pear (a reference to Siri and Apple).[16] A sample sentence from the abstract for the resulting manuscript was: "The atoms of a better universe will have the right for the same as you are the way we shall have to be a great place for a great time to enjoy the day you are a wonderful person to your great time to take the fun and take a great time and enjoy the great day you will be a wonderful time for your parents and kids"[15] and the 516-word abstract contained the words "good" and "great" a combined total of 28 times (and is available online).[16] Despite being obvious nonsense, the work was accepted within three hours of submission and a conference registration fee of US$1099 requested.[15][16] Bartneck commented that he was "reasonably certain that this is a money-making conference with little to no commitment to science," a comment he based on the poor quality of the review process and the high cost of attendance.[15] In terms of inadequate to non-existent reviewing, the incident was compared to an earlier case where [b]Dr Peter Vamplew, from Federation University in Victoria, had a manuscript containing only the phrase "Get me off your fucking mailing list" accepted by the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technolog[/b]y.[15][17]

Beall criticised the financial arrangements for OMICS conferences, noting that the "registration policy shows that they never grant refunds for registration fees – even if they themselves cancel or postpone the conference. Instead, they grant a credit for other OMICS conferences."[13] He also recommends, "in the strongest terms possible, that all scholars from all countries avoid doing business in any way with the OMICS Group. Do not submit papers. Do not agree to serve on their editorial boards. Do not register for or attend their conferences."[13]
Acquisition of Canadian publishers

In late September 2016, OMICS acquired two Canadian publishers, Andrew John Publishing and Pulsus Group, and sixteen journals published by them.[18] The acquisition led to a decline in publishing standards,[19] caused concern that the names of the publishers were being hijacked to lend credence to bogus science, and led to six of the sixteen journals stating their intention to terminate their publishing contracts with OMICS.[18] The CEO and Managing Director of OMICS claimed that the publisher will only have minimal influence on the editorial policy and content of the journals, and reiterated OMICS' position that they are a legitimate publisher.[20]
Criticism of publishing practices

OMICS is widely regarded as predatory.[2][3][4][5][6][7] It is part of the OMICS Group, based in Hyderabad, India.[5] OMICS has been subject to criticism, notably by Jeffrey Beall, who included OMICS in his list of several hundred "potential, possible, or probable predatory" publishers that "take advantage of academics desperate to get their work published." Beall and others have "raised concerns about the practices of OMICS and the quality of its journals." They claim the journals are not actually peer-reviewed as advertised, often contain mistakes and that its fees are excessive.[9] The company says that its activities are legitimate and ethical, but that the quality of its editorial control does need improvement.[3][11]

It was also suggested that OMICS provides lists of scientists as journal editors to create the impression of familiarity or scientific legitimacy, even though these are editors in name only and are not involved in the review or editing process.[3] An editor-in-chief who was contacted by Science stated that he had never handled any papers;[6] in an interview with The Hindu, another said he had not been informed of his purported editorship.[7] Other academics have said that OMICS published articles unaltered in spite of their request for revisions.[10] The company has also been slow to remove the names of editorial board members who requested to terminate their relationship with OMICS activities, in some cases taking almost two years.[11][10]

Some observers have described the publisher as "predatory", insofar as authors who have submitted papers have been sent invoices after their manuscripts were accepted for publication despite the lack of a robust peer-review process. One author received an invoice for US$2700 after her paper was accepted; this fee was not mentioned in the email message OMICS sent her to solicit a submission.[5] These observations have led critics to assert that the main purpose of the publisher is commercial rather than academic.[3][4]

Other criticisms of OMICS include the publication of pseudoscientific articles,[3] deceptive marketing practices,[9][6] targeting of young investigators or those in lower income regions,[6][7] holding papers hostage by disallowing their withdrawal (preventing them from being published by other journals),[21] and the advertising of academic or government scientists as speakers or organizers for OMICS conferences without their agreement.[6] In 2012, an OMICS journal rejected a paper after the reviewer noticed it was plagiarized from a paper he had previously co-authored; another OMICS journal published the same paper later that year. When the reviewer pointed this out, the paper was removed from OMICS' website in 2014 but no official retraction posted.[22]

In 2013, an OMICS journal accepted a bogus and obviously flawed publication submitted as part of a sting operation by Science.[23][24]
Action by US government agencies

In April 2013, OMICS received a cease-and-desist letter from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) after a complaint filed by Ken Witwer, who said he had been fooled by OMICS's deceptive marketing. The letter alleged that OMICS used images and names of employees that either no longer worked at NIH or did not provide their permission, and asked OMICS not to use the name of its agencies institutes or employees for anything other than "true factual statements".[6] OMICS responded by modifying its website and providing emails and letters from the NIH employees ostensibly agreeing to serve as editors of OMICS journals. Those employees later said that while they did agree to serve as editors, they did not provide permission for their names to be used in marketing materials; furthermore, they had not actually handled any manuscripts.[6] Witwer welcomed the move, saying that he was encouraged the DHHS was taking action to defend itself and the community.[6]

In August 2016 the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a suit against OMICS, two affiliated companies, and Gedela, charging them with deceptive publishing practices.[21] This was the FTC's first-ever suit against an academic publisher.[25] In response to the FTC letter, OMICS lawyers took issue with the various allegations, maintaining that their processes were legal and claiming that corporate interests were driving the suit.[26]
Legal threat to Jeffrey Beall

In 2013, OMICS Publishing Group sent a letter to Jeffrey Beall stating that they intended to sue him and were seeking $1 billion in damages. In their six-page letter, OMICS stated that Beall's blog is "ridiculous, baseless, impertinent", and "smacks of literal unprofessionalism and arrogance".[27] Beall said that he found the letter "to be poorly written and personally threatening", and that he thought that "the letter is an attempt to detract from the enormity of OMICS's editorial practices".[28]

OMICS' law firm said it was pursuing damages under India's Information Technology Act 2000, referring to section 66A, which makes it illegal to use a computer to publish "any information that is grossly offensive or has menacing character" or to publish false information. It stated that three years in prison was a possible penalty, although a U.S. lawyer said that the threats seemed to be a "publicity stunt" that was meant to "intimidate".[9] An editorial in the New Delhi-based India Today cited the incident as evidence that Section 66A should be discarded to eliminate its use in "stifling political dissent, crushing speech and ... enabling bullying".[29] In 2015, Section 66A was struck down by the Supreme Court of India in an unrelated case.[30][31]
