Today, December 15, 2010, German researchers and doctors attested to the first cure for the HIV virus.
However, it is not possible to attest to an effective and safe method.
But the fact is, the patient suffered from AIDS and Leukemia, the well-known blood cancer, and in 2007 received a bone marrow transplant containing a genetic mutation that they knew conferred natural immunity to the virus.
It is worth remembering that the bone marrow replacement process is an extreme act for the treatment of blood cancer; it is very risky and can by itself lead to the patient's death.
It is necessary for the patient to have an immune system practically identical to the recipient, who in turn will have their diseased marrow destroyed within their bones, an action of extreme danger to life.
It is worth remembering that despite blood and tissue tests having shown the absence of the virus, researchers state that only when the patient dies will it be possible to perform the Polymerase Chain Reaction” (PCR), which is a meticulous analysis of all body tissues to determine if there are indeed no latent viruses in any tissue.
Timothy Ray Brown is 44 years old and was living in Berlin when he underwent the transplant because he had leukemia. To try to eliminate both diseases, doctors chose a donor with mutant cells that did not produce CCR5, a protein essential for the multiplication of the HIV virus in the human body.
Even though faith leads us to believe there is a cure, silviolobo is concerned about a disaster that could happen if people are misled by this information and stop taking the necessary precautions. AIDS continues to kill 100% of people who contract it. Today, one has been cured, and even if 70 million people worldwide could be cured by this method, AIDS will continue to kill 99% of people who contract it.
