Dr. Al-Goshae you have presented a research paper that claims a cure for AIDS.
Can you tell us a little more about your research?

We use a herbal extract mentioned in the Sunnah. We used it to treat 13 HIV infected persons (AIDS patients). 10 of them are now totally cured after 3-12 months of treatment. Another group of 25 patients started treatment eight months ago, 15 of them are cured until now.

I understand that for such a formula to be accepted worldwide, the composition must be known and tried on a much wider scale.
Knowing that there are many organizations that protect copyrights of newly discovered drugs, why didn't you put your formula forward to be tested internationally?

We are ready to do that after registration of this medication to keep the rights of the team.

We did our research in the first group of 13 patients, 10 of them cured and three improved significantly. We started a new research on 25 patients 8 months ago. Fifteen of those are cured now.

Dr. don't you think that to base your research on a mere number of 13 patients is a very narrow and unreliable statistical research?

I agree with you but we started another group of 25 patient eight months ago. Another 15 patients were also cured in this group and this means a lot.
We are still continuing our research.

Dr Husni , have you done any research on the side effects of this treatment?
It comes to my knowledge that the drug regulations require monitoring the patient several years to establish the safety of a drug?
Answer
The drug is very safe. We tested the toxicity of the drug on rats by giving them the lethal dose (16 gm/Kg of body weight) without any side effects. We noticed no side effects on our patients as well.

Question
Can you give us some details of the scientific methodology you followed while undertaking the research as well as while verifying the results?
Answer
The methedology is simple. We did a screening of viral load by Elisa & PCR [laboratory tests for monitoring HIV] in the blood as well as doing Liver Function Tests (LFT) and Kidney Function Tests (KFT)
Full blood count was also done before the start of the trial.
We gave the patients the medications three times a day in the form of a syrup. The medications continued for three to 12 months. We did PCR every month for the patients in 3 countries, Yemen, Jordan, and Germany.
We considered the patient cured if 3 successive tests showed undetectable levels of HIV in the blood.

Dr Husni:
Could you please clarify the dosage form of this drug? And how it has been formulated?
Answer
The dose we used is 9 ml/kg of body weight. We started by a lesser dose and noticed the virus took too much time to decline. We found after many trials that this is the most effective dose and the virus disappeared in some patients after three months of treatment.
