nigeria Benin – Prof. Isaiah Ibeh of the University of Benin, on Tuesday
announced the development of a new drug that can allegedly ‘cure’ HIV
and AIDS. Ibeh, who is the Dean of the School of Basic Medical Sciences
of the university, told reporters in Benin that the herbal drug had
undergone “series of successful tests”.
He said “We are at the threshold of making history, in the sense that
we seem to have with us something that will permanently take care of
what over time seems to have defied all solutions. “We are talking about
the latest discovery of an oral drug made from plants extraction in
Nigeria for the possible cure of the pandemic, HIV and AIDS virus.’’
According to him, research on the project was started in 2010 and
culminated in the development of “Deconcotion X (DX)–Liquid or Bioclean
11 for the cure of HIV and AIDS”. “The existing retroviral drugs are
intervention drugs for the management of AIDS but our new discovery is a
possible cure.
“We have tried to look at the product first; its toxicological
analysis and discovered that it has a large safety margin. “This means
that if animals or human beings are exposed to it, they will not suffer
any serious harm at all from the exposure. “It also helped us to know
the quantity we can conveniently give to animals and will feel secure
that nothing untoward will happen.
“We have also done the bacteriological analysis on it, after which we
looked at its effect on the virus and the result was quite revealing
and refreshing.” Ibeh also said that the drug had been exposed to series
of medical examination both in Nigeria and in the USA. He added that
the drug had performed well on patients with the HIV virus and had shown
evidence of total restoration of damaged tissues.
“The result showed an increase in the body weight of the individual
administered with DX. “The body weight was statistically significant
when compared with the control group.” He said that further tests were
being conducted to determine “at what point will a patient become
negative after being administered the drug?”.
“This verification is necessary because it is what is used to measure
whether infection is still there or not. So we need to know the
siro-convention time. “But preliminary results showed that of the five
latest patients orally administered with the drugs, our findings is that
up to seven months , three of them were siro negative while two were
sill faintly positive.’’ Ibeh appealed for support from the Federal
Government and relevant bodies to assist the university with relevant
equipment to sustain the research.(NAN)
