Hiv doesn't exist , in Lagos state alone today 100 people might have been confirmed positive , these goes on everyday , I've a doctor friend he has been confirmed hiv + since 2001 . He has never been sick , because he's a doctor . He wasn't scared of getting infected and never had antiviral drugs . He has also told about people that got infected and couldn't live upto 5 yrs ' why""? Because of fear : fear causes fatigue and when you can't sleep we'll for a long time , you're likely to fall sick and the fear in you will kill you. Don't ever get tested , if you don't know about hiv in your body . You can live a healthy life and you will never be sick or transmit to your partner . You can only transmit when your cd4 count is extremely low and that might take your whole life . To me hiv is a science and trick to sell condoms . People love money so much and they can do anything to have it . Don't let anyone rule your life . Don't ever go for hiv test .

“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.


“We are using medicine that is so small that wherever HIV goes it can get there, catch it and destroy it,” he assured.

Please if you have HIV try and take your ARVs. Denying a problem exists doesn't make it go away.
And stop going about peddling this lie that HIV doesn't exist because sick people in desperate need of hope might start taking you serious.

I have an uncle who is lying critically I'll in the hospital now because he refused to treat his HIV on time. The disease seems to have progressed to AIDS because he is suffering from all sort of conditions now which I won't mention. Those conditions were not caused by fear because it is impossible to suffer all the illnesses he is now suffering from simply cos one is afraid.

Weve had many people (including Nigerian Quacks) claim they've found a cure for Aids and I initially would have dismissed it as just another quack especially when I heard the name of the University but what caught my attention was "British journal of medicine". Wow!! I said to myself this must be credible! so i searched the internet. I came across the youtube video I posted earlier. He sounded a bit quackish but at the same time he seemed to make some sense. I was intrigued so I went to the site of the British Medical Journal and entered his name in the search field hoping I would see the article....No results!!! Hmmm


Alas "British journal of medicine" is not the same as the respected "British Medical journal"

I googled his name and came across this article on what seems like a gay forum. Now nobody has more vested interest in a cure for aids than a gay man living with aids. Apart from the body of scientists, nobody understands HIV more the people living with it, it's their life (or death) everyday they live in hope of a cure. So when a gay man who is probably living with HIV says this is crap.....I'm inclined to believe.


This article sums up the whole thing




"Maduike Ezeibe has not cured AIDS

I mean, it feels ridiculous to me that I need to say this, but since this website is apparently full of bizarre AIDS-conspiracy theorists who think ‘the government’ will kill this man for publishing his quack science, I put together a few points to hopefully clear things up.

The claim that his treatment has cured AIDS is completely unfounded. In his June 2015 paper, Ezeibe writes:

Also, reduction of mean viral load of all the HIV/AIDS patients who participated in the clinical trial, from 18875.00 ± 17059.18 to 327.50 ± 226.84, is 98.26% reduction. Kaplan [27] reported that when treatments reduce loads of infectious agents by 95% or more, body immunity is able to eliminate what are left of the infections. What these results mean, is that the MSAMS cures HIV/AIDS, not just prolongation of lives of HIV-positive persons.

It’s embarrassing that I am using my fandom blog to tear this down, but that Kaplan paper cited is about parasitic worms. The fact that someone decided that a treatment threshold for parasitic worms could a) be applied to HIV and b) used to claim they found a cure should honestly discredit their entire body of work on the topic.

Anyone who has read a n y t h i n g about HIV in the past decade knows that that’s not how HIV fucking works. Every real antiretroviral treatment on the market today can achieve non-detectable levels of virus in a fraction of patients with good compliance, but whole reason HIV continues to be an issue today is that the virus hangs out inside your non-replicating dendritic cells or wherever and it fucking comes back when you stop treatment. To even think about claiming a cure for HIV, patients need to be off treatment and virus-free for YEARS. To date the only person to be really actually cured of HIV is the Berlin Patient, who was cured with a bone marrow transplant from a donor with HIV-resistant T-cells. Repeat after me: the only successful way to cure HIV is to kill off 100% of your immune cells and replace them with immune cells that HIV can’t infect.

So how did Ezeibe get away with making truly laughable claims in a scientific journal?

The paper is published in a trash journal. Scientific journals are rated by, among other metrics, their Impact Factor. This describes how many times an article in that journal will be cited in the future, telling you essentially how much that paper contributed to other people’s works. Scientists want their work to have impact. Top journals like Nature, Science, New England Journal of Medicine, etc. have Impact Factors in the 30s. These journals publish the most exciting, high-impact results that scientists across disciplines are interested in and they correspondingly have the most rigorous scientific requirements for accepting articles. A journal with Impact Factor of 2 to 4 might be a nice niche journal with decent rigor (like JIAS for example) but won’t be read by anyone outside that particular field of study. What, you may ask, is the Impact Factor for World Journal of AIDS, the journal where Ezeibe’s article is published?

ZERO.

ResearchGate lists their IF as 0.[/b] Is that the default for journals with no data? Seems so. WJA apparently doesn’t have an official IF score, (because Thompson Reuters doesn’t deem them to be even significant enough to score among the 70 Infectious Disease journals and 139 Immunology journals they scored in 2013) but they generously calculate their own alternative score to be less than one.

I honestly can’t critique his paper in more detail than this because his methods section is almost nonexistent. It’s possible that his nanoparticle therapy for HIV has promise, but it’s impossible to tell from this paper. For what is ostensibly a Phase I clinical trial for his “miracle drug,” any journal with any reputation at all to uphold is sending this submission back with request for MAJOR revisions, or more likely rejecting it outright.

Bottom line: no one is reading or citing WJA except by accident. The news outlets reporting on this paper need to fire their science correspondents.

One last general thing:

HIV/AIDS is not a neglected disease. A lot of the reblogs of the original post seem to suggest that “no one will hear about this” because of the racism and homophobia that intersect with HIV/AIDS, and that Ezeibe is lacking funding to take his miracle cure into next stage trials because no one cares about HIV/AIDS anymore. Let me be clear: people with HIV face a million different types of stigma and discrimination, much of it connected to homophobia and racism, but LACK OF RESEARCH FUNDING IS NOT ONE OF THEM. HIV/AIDS receives $3 BILLION in annual funding from the NIH, the most of any single disease. This isn’t the 1980s anymore. Scientists fucking LOVE studying HIV. We literally know so much about this stupid virus that we are using it as a delivery system to bioengineer treatments for cancer.

There are loads of brilliant scientists working on a cure for HIV. There are loads of brilliant African scientists working on a cure for HIV. Maduike Ezeibe is not one of them.

.......... The world is reading how long has your uncle lived with hiv ? I want to prove my point and provide a solution to your uncle ASAP .

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

fellis:
Which one be the world is reading abeg?
Lmao. You mean am for this fake HIV matter o!

I don't know how long he has lived with it and neither does he because his wife suddenly died from HIV related complications and he had to go to the hospital for tests and also discovered that he had the disease.
Neither of them had gotten tested before and he does not know when exactly he caught it.
Thank you.

frankloloko:
....... Listen bro and Re read my previous post . From what I know about your uncle is suffering from malnutrition . Take it or leave . He should eat three times a day and take multivitamins , exercise properly . Those disease won't come near him anymore . Half of big men in Abuja is living with hiv ' some still appear on television . But you will never know this .ive many friends as doctors and I research too much about humans . White don't go hiv treatment untill their cd4 count is low . Nigerian start taking arv the day they get tested positive . Please move out from your shield and save your innocent uncle .

fellis:
Bwahahahaaaaaa

Please go and take your ARV if you have HIV, what you are doing is very destructive.

frankloloko:
......... I don't have it but I was once scared of it and I am more knowledge about this . At first you said your uncle refused to take arv , later he didn't know until he fall sick Oga easy . What is he sick off now? You're putting fear around . Hiv is manageable and it comes with a new life routine .

dewaskillz:
Kudos prof. We are getting there, if only they could give a conducive atmosphere to engage our abilities and intellectual capabilities the sky will only be our limit. I personally believe we are great people. Thank you God for making me a Nigerian.

fellis:
He didn't know he had HIV until his wife died and e went for tests.
And he refused to take medication because he felt he was very strong and didn't need it.
I know you are trying very hard to poke holes in my post because you really want to believe HIV is a myth.
It isn't a myth. Stop spreading that lie.
