A researcher, Prof. Madubuike Ezeibe, has called on Federal Government
to carry out a clinical trial of the drug he invented for the treatment
of HIV/AIDS, Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate.A
clinical trial is a study that explores whether a medical strategy,
treatment, or device is safe and effective for humans. It shows which
approaches work best for certain illnesses or groups of people.
Ezeibe,
a professor of Veterinary Medicine, Michael Okpara University of
Agriculture, Umudike, made the call in Umuahia on Monday.
The don
who presented a paper on the potential of the drug as both antiviral
and raw material, at a world conference on Ethnopharmacology in Chicago,
United States, on May 2, 2016, said that more than one year after he
invented and presented his findings at different international
conferences, no authority anywhere in the world had disputed the
research findings.
“I, therefore, appeal to the federal
government to institute an inter-ministerial committee to carry out
clinical trial of the drug in six centres across the country without
further delay.
“The committee should comprise federal Ministries
of Health, Education, Environment as well as Science and Technology,
with, at least, 1000 sample patients from each state of the federation.
“Some
of the findings of the research include that silicates have molecules
that are 0.96 nanometre in size while HIV has molecules as big as 110
nanometres.
“The particles of AMS are positively and negatively
charged, while HIV-infected cells are positively charged. The AMS are
immune stimulants; one can use simple sugar (glucose) to transport
charged molecules across the mucous membrane to the blood.
“Glucose
helps to transport the drug to any part of the body, including ‘the
sanctuary’, where other drugs cannot reach to attack the HIV-infected
cells.
“So, if these findings are true and nobody has challenged
the claims of the research, let the federal government set up an
inter-ministerial committee to conduct clinical trial of the medicine,’’
he said.
Ezeibe expressed joy that the Vice Chancellor of
MOUAU, Prof. Francis Otunta and the University Senate had investigated
his claims and given their approvals.
He said aside from support
from the university, the Abia Government also sponsored the publication
of the book on AMS which, according to him, is now available for sale.
The researcher said that no fewer than 500 HIV cases within and outside Nigeria had been referred to him which he treated.
“All
the HIV cases were referral from a medical doctor to the Medical
Director of MOUAU. I have also handled referrals from different parts of
African and Asian continents,’’ Ezeibe said.
