HIV/AIDS and its cure!! Smiles on the face of the people as Nigerian Vasity announces cure for HIV/AIDS

Prof. Francis Otunta, the Vice Chancellor(VC), Michael Okpara University of Agriculture,Umudike, in Abia, has confirmed the discovery of a newdrug for the treatment and cure of HIV/AIDS.

NAN, Abuja;
Otunta told newsmen at the university campus onWednesday that the finding followed years of scientific research by the institution.

" The breakthrough was made by Prof. Maduike Ezeibe, a researcher in the university" he said.

He also added that, Ezeibe had presented the drug to the University management, Senate, and Council, where he explained the processes he went through to arrive at his finding. He has also presented the drug to his colleagues and nobody has contradicted it.

“Prof. Ezeibe is a researcher in Veterinary Medicine and one may wonder how he discovered a drug to cure a human ailment,” he said.

Otunta said that the university was in the process of mass producing the drug for further clinical trials on persons living with HIV/AIDS in the country.

Ezeibe, who is a professor of Veterinary Medicine and Clinical Virology, said that the drug was produced with Aluminum Silicate and Magnesium Silicate (Synthetic Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate). He said that the two minerals “are already in use as medicines for the treatment of various animal and human diseases”.

He said that 10 persons living with the disease, “who volunteered’’, were made to apply through their doctor to the VC.

“They were treated daily with the Medicinal Synthetic Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate (50 mg/kg),” he said. Ezeibe said that the volunteers were subjected to monthly tests for viral loads and CD4-lymphocyte counts.

“With the antiviral effects of the medicine, its ability to reach all cells (as nanoparticles) and the lymphocytes,
there is no more hiding place (sanctuary) for HIV,” he said.

He said that the medicine had been used to potentiate Ampicillin, Chloroquine, Piperazine and Sulphadimidine,among others, and could be a major foreign exchange earner for Nigeria if approved by relevant authorities. "I'm about to sign a memorandum of understanding with a U.S.-based Scientific Research Publishing, publishers of World Journal of AIDS, for the publication of my book “How I came about the cure for HIV/AIDS” he said.

Ezeibe, who said that the medicine was patented in August 2014 in Nigeria, called on the Federal Government to help him to secure international patency for the drug.
