A investigator, Prof. Madubuike Ezeibe, has known as on the central to hold out a clinical test of the drug he indented, Aluminum-Magnesium salt (AMS), for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Ezeibe, a academic of veterinary medicine, michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), created the decision in an interview with Newsmen in Umuahia on monday.Clinical trial could be a study that explores whether or not a medical strategy, treatment, or device is safe and effective for humans.
It shows that medical approaches that work best sure diseases or teams of people.
According to the don, he given a paper on the potential of the drug as each antiviral and raw material, at a world conference on Ethnopharmacology in Chicago, united states, on May 2, 2016.He said that quite one year once he invented and given his findings at completely different international conferences, no authority anyplace within the world had controversial the analysis findings.
I thus appeal to the central to institute an inter-ministerial committee to hold out clinical test of the drug in six centres across the country while not additional delay. The committee should comprise federal Ministries of Health, Education, setting likewise as Science and Technology, with, at least, 1000 sample patients from every state of the federation.
Some of the findings of the analysis embody that silicates have molecules that area unit 0.96 nm in size whereas HIV has molecules as massive as 110 nm.
The particles of AMS are positively and charged, whereas HIV-infected cells are positively charged.
The AMS are immune stimulants; one can use sugar (glucose) to move charged molecules across the mucous secretion membrane to the blood.
Glucose helps to move the drug to any a part of the body, together with the sanctuary, where different medicine cannot reach to attack the HIV-infected cells.
So, if these findings are true and nobody has challenged the claims of the analysis, let the federal government established an inter-ministerial committee to conduct clinical test of the drugs,he said.
Ezeibe expressed joy that the administrator of MOUAU, Prof. Francis Otunta and the University Senate had investigated his claims and given their approvals.
He said that apart from the support from the university, the Abia Government also sponsored the publication of the book on AMS which, consistent with him, is currently on the market purchasable.
The investigator said that no fewer than 500 HIV cases inside and outside Nigeria had been noted him that he treated.
All the HIV cases were referral from a medical doctor to the Medical Director of MOUAU. I actually have conjointly handled referrals from completely different parts of African and Asian continents, Ezeibe said.
