had contradicted his finding. “Prof. Ezeibe is a
researcher in Veterinary Medicine and one may wonder how he discovered a drug
to cure a human ailment,” he said.
He commended Ezeibe for the breakthrough,
saying: “He has brought honour to the University and we are proud of him.”
Otunta said that the university was in the process of mass producing the drug
for further clinical trials on persons living with HIV/AIDS in the country.
Ezeibe, who is a professor of Veterinary Medicine and Clinical Virology, said
that the drug was produced with Aluminum Silicate and Magnesium Silicate
(Synthetic Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate). He said that the two minerals “are
already in use as medicines for the treatment of various animal and human
diseases”
. He said that 10 persons living
with the disease, “who volunteered’’, were made to apply through their doctor
to the VC. “They were treated daily with the Medicinal Synthetic
Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate (50 mg/kg),” he said. Ezeibe said that the
volunteers were subjected to monthly tests for viral loads and CD4-lymphocyte
counts. “With the antiviral effects of the medicine, its ability to reach all
cells (as nanoparticles) and the lymphocytes, there is no more hiding place
(sanctuary) for HIV,” he said. He said that the medicine had been used to
potentiate Ampicilin, Chloroquine, Piperazine and Sulphadimidin, among others,
and could be a major foreign exchange earner for Nigeria, if approved by
relevant authorities.
