A cure for Aids at last!!!!!!!!

A team of Nigerian scientists have found what could be termed a novel
treatment for Human Immune-deficiency Virus (HIV) infection that may
reduce greatly the cost of treatment.
The team of scientists includes graduate
students and researchers from the Michael Okpara University of
Agriculture, Umudike,
Abia state, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and
the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, Nigeria.
The group were able to show that synthetic
Aluminum-magnesium silicate (AMS) has
antiretroviral effects that could lay a perfect
track for affordable and effective therapy for HIV.
Reports say:
Results of their work titled "Assessment of
Antiretroviral Effects of a Synthetic Aluminum-magnesium Silicate" published in
the British Journal of Medicine & Medical
Research and featured on SCIENCEDOMAIN
international shows a significant reduction
in the titres of the virus when HIV positive plasma was incubated with AMS.
Head, Department of Veterinary Medicine at
Michael Okpara University of Agriculture,
and the lead scientist, Professor Maduike
Ezeibe, said the discovery could provide an ultimate cure for the
virus that has defiled so many scientific efforts to curtail it in the
past.
Ezeibe reacted aluminium silicate with magnesium silicate to obtain
the synthetic
aluminum-magnesium silicate devoid of
impurities.
Giving further details Ezeibe noted:
"Molecules of aluminum-magnesium silicate have platelets that possess
both negative and positive electrical charges on their surfaces and
their edges. HIV on the other hand is
negatively charged. So the simple scientific
understanding that opposite charges attracts
ensures that the HIV virus binds to the AMS
and is discharged from the body alongside."
"AMS is normally used as a stabilizing
medicine that does not really have toxic
effect on the patient, so it makes it a suitable
agent for mopping up HIV virus from the
body," he said.
The author noted also that "Adsorbing out
HIV means that millions of new virions
usually released from each infected cell
would be inhibited from establishing new
infections in more cells," adding, "
Thus, HIV would be prevented from
overwhelming the body immune systems
and the Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome (AIDS) stage may be prevented, in
which case cure could be achieved, Ezeibe
said.
