Supposedly HIV cure has been found!

Just start worrying when they send you an email telling you they have the cure for hiv but there have been some complications getting it shipped to the mainland, and they need you to pay a little bit of money so that millions of people can get the cure ...

How about Divine Intervention?

God helps those who help themselves.

Bless this Dr. and pray he has got it right!!!

Divine intervention?! When was the last time "god" intervened to stop an epidemic? I cant think of a single time. As far as I know, science and medicine have been the only things that have stopped or contained disease.
"God helps those who helps themselves"? What is that supposed to mean? That the tens of millions of people who have died as a result of AIDS were not "helping themselves"?
Personally, it makes me sick that this doctor might be giving false hope to millions of HIV infected people. Even if somehow, he does have what he thinks is a cure, it is irresponsible to publicly announce it when no peer reviewed trial or testing has been done to validate this claim.

Well, there's been all sorts of theories that rainforests and other remote areas of the world have herbs etc than can cure some diseases. I suppose anything is possible. We don't really know about all these substances because we're too busy allowing them to be burned down .

I'm not saying this is true, because as said above it is unlikely that something that has baffled billions of dollars worth of research can just up and be cured, but isn't anything a possibility?

I'd like to know what the hell Magic Johnson is on. Didn't he announce HIV in 1991? That guy looks in quite good shape. Millions can buy you good health I guess.

Nigeria? Yeah I could see it. They are nice people there.

They are the ones who always send me email wanting to give me $25 Million Dollars or more if I just tranfer it to my bank account.

even if this Droctor has found a new 'cure' it will always be a treatment. the only time there is a cure is when that specific illness is never seen again. as a human race we still have polio we have treatments for it, but we havent cured it so that it never appears ever again.
In my personal opinion i believe that the only time we will ever see cures is when cures are imprinted into our actual DNA so that we can never contract the illness to begin with.
So untill this time all we will ever have is treatments.
If you dont agree thats fine but think on this
Chemotheropy is a treatment for cancer, alot of times it will rid you of the cancer, but it is herolded as a treatment not a cure, Why? beacause it doesnt rid the world of cancer.

um sorry for the spelling

Well, we've taken the first step towards that just recently:

and why are you so sure of yourself? there are many other people in the world which will disagree with you

Ask and you shall receive - Magic Johnson and HIV treatments

Magic Johnson has worked with Dr. Michael Mellman, his personal physician for the past 20 years, to try to keep the virus under control using a combination of antiretroviral drugs. This combination therapy is termed HAART or Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy. The "drug cocktails" that make up a HAART regimen combine the power of multiple drugs to block multiple targets in the HIV life cycle. Central to Magic's therapy regimen is a drug called Combivir�, a combination of two drugs: lamivudine and zidovudine, which are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. You may be familiar with zidovudine by another name, AZT. HAART regimens can cost an average of $1,000 per month or more depending on the source and type of drugs administered.

Johnson was recently hired as a spokesperson for GlaxoSmithKline, the company that produces Combivir�. The medication Magic Johnson takes is not a top secret magic bullet but rather a commercially available antiretroviral treatment. Thus, the same medication that Magic Johnson takes to control his HIV infection is available to everyone who is HIV-positive.

Considering that it's been almost 15 years since Magic announced he was HIV positive, and considering that he's still healthy as ever, do you think the thought's crossed his mind that maybe HIV doesn't have anything to do w/ getting sick w/ "AIDS"?

$1,000/month is a great scam for big pharma companies to be running.. remember, the same people sit on the boards as did at Enron and Worldcom..

Why am I so sure? Because common sense tells me so.
1.He has no peer reviewed studies and no clinical trials that are overseen by reputable authorities.
2. He has no major source of funding, which would be required to hire qualified staff, conduct studies and purchase the equipment that is nessicery to study the HIV virus.
3. This story is coming from Nigeria, the con artist capitol of the world! lol
