Scientists discover potential cure for AIDS | MyFOX8.com


BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA – Researchers in Australia are working on a possible cure for AIDS.
According to a report from ABC Australia, scientists have modified an HIV protein in order to prevent it from replicating.

“What we’ve actually done is taken a normal virus protein that the virus needs to grow, and we’ve changed this protein, so that instead of assisting the virus, it actually impedes virus replication and does it quite strongly,” Associate Professor David Harrich told ABC Australia.

Harrich told ABC Australia the modified protein cannot cure HIV but it has protected human cells from AIDS in the laboratory.
“This therapy is potentially a cure for AIDS,” he said. “So it’s not a cure for HIV infection, but it potentially could end the disease.

Dont they always come up with treatments that just vanish off the face of the news shortly afterwards.

Research is a very stressful job. When you've completed your lifes work and goal so easily the pressure of having nothing to do can be overwhelming so you just take apart the jigsaw puzzle and let someone else have fun.

like when?

I read of an aids cure maybe 4 years ago and then i just never heard about it again. I dont feel like googling right now though sorry. This isnt the first time someone has claimed to have the cure.

Any AIDS "cure" needs to be tested for like a decade plus before it's even thought of being released to the public.

This is why scientists need to maintain some sort of...I dunno, professional composure, when reporting on these things.

I think you're talking about this cat--Timothy Ray Brown? Man Cured of AIDS Virus: First U.S. News Conference. His case is hardly repeatable though, since it's mad risky. So while he's 'cured', it's not 'the cure'.

There's too much money in maintaining aids for a cure to come out. That would be like somebody inventing cold fusion. You think energy companies are gonna just say "yay! Now we don't have to charge people anymore since all the energy is free!!". Pharmaceutical companies are generating billions of dollars from aids cocktails and you think one Australian scientist is gonna stop that? :usure:
That dude just signed his death warrant.

cure for aids been patented since '97... This is from the us government patent website

United States Patent: 5676977

The diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4) is utilized for destroying the AIDS virus, destroying AIDS synergistic pathogens and immunity suppressing moieties (ISM) in humans. A single intravenous injection of the devices is all that is required for efficacy at levels of about 40 PPM of human blood. The device molecular crystal contains two mono and two trivalent silver ions capable of "firing" electrons capable of electrocuting the AIDS virus, pathogens and ISM. When administered into the bloodstream, the device electrons will be triggered by pathogens, a proliferating virus and ISM, and when fired will simultaneously trigger a redox chelation mechanism resulting in divalent silver moieties which chelate and bind active sites of the entities destroying them. The devices are completely non-toxic. However, they put stress on the liver causing hepatomegaly, but there is no loss of liver function.
