Benin City — AS expected, it was a joyous news on Tuesday when the Dean, School of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Benin (UNIBEN), Prof. Isaiah Ibeh, announced the development of a new drug that can possibly cure HIV and AIDS. However, the joy was short-lived after the claim became controversial.
Ibeh disclosed that the herbal drug had undergone "series of successful tests" and had been positive. According to him, "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, seemed 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". He disclosed that research on the project 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.
