Introduction
A very heavy disease to bear, AIDS remained for a very long time a major subject of research to find a remedy that would cure it definitively, most of them failed and until now no definitive cure has been found. However, in 2004, in Senegal, a lawyer, Jack Moustapha Diop released a book entitled: ” AIDS defeated, the truth in progress ” which for several months fueled a lively controversy because it revealed to the whole world the discovery of a century, of a cure for HIV/AIDS.
An African herbal remedy
Discovered in 2001 by a Senegalese practitioner of traditional African medicine whose identity has never been revealed, the remedy is said to be based on medicinal plants.
After successfully treating several patients outside the clinic, it was necessary to scientifically demonstrate that the remedy was functional. On the recommendations of Professor Seydou Konaté who had been contacted with a group of patients successfully treated by the inventor, it was decided to test the remedy on a patient who Professor Konaté would clinically follow to collect scientific data which confirm the effectiveness or not of the remedy, what was done.
The results of the tests will give serious credence to this discovery.
The professor’s patient had a viral load of 85,898 copies per milliliter of blood before treatment, after treatment, he ended up with 234 copies per milliliter of blood, which meant that the virus had been killed 100%, and the viral load increased has been reduced to more than 99.72%. Other trials were carried out later on a larger group of patients and all the clinical results tended to confirm that the remedy worked.
A remedy that bothers
We then wonder why such a remedy has never been made available to the general public. Especially since around the beginning of the 2000s, AIDS has wreaked havoc throughout the world, particularly in Africa.
The reason is simple: according to the author, the AIDS industry represented 400 billion euros per year at the time, the economic stakes were therefore enormous, and we understand then that a remedy would threaten the interests of the pharmaceutical lobbies which lived off the AIDS business.
As proof, on February 26 and 27, 2004, all the big bosses of French Big Pharma met in Senegal to form the France Senegal alliance against AIDS with a very heavy investment while at the same time, most French researchers were on strike due to lack of resources. It was all the more bizarre since Senegal had one of the lowest contamination rates in Africa.
It was around this time that the affair was hushed up, to the point that after several failures, to make the State of Senegal aware of the stakes of such a discovery, the inventor turned towards South Africans, there too, the remedy met the same fate as in Senegal, yet this country has one of the highest rates of HIV contamination in the world.
Accepting that plants, which are accessible to everyone, could cure AIDS would be an obvious threat to the entire traditional pharmaceutical industry which markets drugs not to treat the disease, but to slow its impact.
The management of this issue also shows another reality present on the continent and which is blocking our takeoff, political will. It seems indisputable that this file served as a bargaining chip for heavy investments that would be allocated elsewhere.
Conclusion
The exploitation of this book as well as the various interviews with the author show an undeniable reality, the remedy exists, but the interests of a fairly powerful minority had to be preserved to the detriment of all the advantages that such a remedy could represent. The author, in a recent interview, emphasizes a rather funny fact, he points out that it was during this period that Senegal’s debt was completely erased, coincidence or deal? One may never know.
