Cure For HIV/AIDS? - BFritz21 - 06-11-2015 This website says that a Nigerian Professor produced a cure for HIV and AIDS. I wonder if this is true, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. The people in the comments section seem to think that our government will suppress the cure, but it sounds like it's legit: Quote:Nigerian Professor Produces Antivirt, An Anti Viral Drug For Treating HIV AIDS. Despite doubts in some quarters about the authenticity of his claims, Professor Maduike Ezeibe of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU), Abia State, has insisted that his recent therapy Two to three months to cure it would be amazing, but it will be interesting to see if this is legit or if we even hear anything else about it.

Things like this crop up every once in a while and then they end up being false results. We had one here in the U.S. not too long ago if I remember correctly.

When this finally comes to market, your hundred dollars will be worth a hundred million dollars. RE: Cure For HIV/AIDS? - Beaker - 06-11-2015 I love it when conspiracy people claim the government and the large pharma companies will suppress a cure for a disease such as cancer or aids because they make more money from the treatment. The cure for Hep C has recently been discovered, and not only was it heralded, but there is now a drug company selling the cure treatment. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-now-have-the-cure-for-hepatitis-c-but-can-we-afford-it/ RE: Cure For HIV/AIDS? - WeezyBengal - 06-11-2015 This thread is going to be a disaster, I can feel it.

Yeah if I'm a pharma company I'm going to roll the dice that I can make a couple of bucks off an AIDS or cancer cure.

RE: Cure For HIV/AIDS? - Harmening - 06-11-2015 Had an old guy tell me once to swallow one whole clove of garlic every day, and it would cure whatever ails you, including cancer or AIDS. He died of cancer. RE: Cure For HIV/AIDS? - fredtoast - 06-11-2015 Interesting that this guy is a vet instead of a human doctor, but I was also surprised to learn that between 2% and 5% of cats in the United States have feline AIDS. Who would have ever guessed that there were so many homosexual cats. RE: Cure For HIV/AIDS? - fredtoast - 06-11-2015 "He said he decided to publish his research work on the therapy so as to prove anyone who would doubt that a black man could develop HIV/AIDS cure, wrong." This makes the whole story sound like BS to me. EVERY SINGLE claim of a cure like this by EVERY SINGLE researcher has to be published for peer review. That is the only way to find out if it is legit.

Quit being a bigot. They could be intravenous drug users. RE: Cure For HIV/AIDS? - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 06-12-2015 (06-12-2015, 10:13 AM)michaelsean Wrote: Quit being a bigot.

It's harder to get into Vet school, then Med school. RE: Cure For HIV/AIDS? - samhain - 06-14-2015 Sort of related: I watched an episode of VICE a couple of months back. There were oncologists on the program talking about an engineered retrovirus made fro the HIV virus that was (to really oversimplify) basically programmed to attack abnormal cells instead of normal ones. They were given to patients who had little to no chance of surviving their cancers and were willing to try just about anything. Some were very young children. Interestingly enough, the treatment had a very high, almost total success rate. People with virtual death sentences were cancer-free after treatments. Pretty fascinating.

Unless it's a different story, I saw that on 60 Minutes and I thought it was the polio virus they were using. Over the last 10-15 years, I've seen maybe a dozen "breakthroughs" that were going to cure cancer...still waiting. But with all the gene coding they're doing now, it sure seems like we should be able to kick just about every disease in the next 20-30 years.

I posted a treatment for cancer a while back where they wrapped the chemo drugs in protein because cancer loves protein, so when the cancer went after the protein, it was just swallowed by the chemo drugs. Drugs to counter traditional chemotherapy bring in a profit of like 125 billion per year, with income only rising. This would eliminate the need for all (most) of the drugs to counter chemo, but I haven't heard anything else about it. I wonder why.

That's what this says: Quote:The NCI states that the medical costs of cancer care are $125 billion, with a projected 39 percent increase to $173 billion by 2020. Unless it means that those are the numbers from the actual costs of producing the drugs and things, but this site says that it was 4.4 billion all the way back in 2005, and that was with Medicare covering 80% of those, which Medicare barely covers much of the % of the costs (I did a medical billing internship at a hospital): Quote:In all, cancer doctors billed about $4.4 billion for chemotherapy and anemia medications in 2005, down from $5.6 billion in 2004, with Medicare covering 80 percent of the bills in each year. The difference mostly represented profit that doctors had made on the drugs. And I'm sure costs have risen, as has the number of people getting cancer, so it might not be 125, but it's still a pretty profitable business. |
