HIV UPTILL DATE HAS NO KNOWN CURE

WE REALLY NEED TO HALT THE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY OF THIS SCOURGE (HIV/AIDS)

Buhahaha. Buhahahaha.

@seun he is rrally serious about it .he started treating them live on tv on the 18th .and there has been improvements .
this are people that have been living with hiv and Aids for more than 8 yrs .

last night on tv it was revealed that the CD4 count (specila tlymphocoyte) of the patients have gone up impressively signifying a marked improvement on the patients from the laboratory point of view.

seven out of the 9 patients have their CD4 counts ranging from 200 to over 1300 as compared to when they first started treatment,barely ten days ago recording CD4 counts of less than 50.

seriuosly when their tratments was first aired .looking at some of them .you would think they'll die the nest minute .some where so weak .
he is determined to acheive his goal .we are all prayin he succeeds. it wll be good not only for the Gambia but for Africa
he's not charging anything the only criteria's are
- you most be hiv positive
-you most be acceptto be shown live throughout the treatment
the only people exempted are senior goverment officals,religious leaders,importand members of the community .

even the asthma patients are showing marked improvements . .

Televangelists have been "curing" HIV/AIDS on TV for years. You don't have to be a genius to fool people on TV.

he's not trying to be a genius . he's just tryin to cure people
