For
many years, scientists and researchers across the world have been
trying to find a cure for one of the world’s deadliest virus, the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Although these scientists say there is yet
no cure for HIV and AIDS, traditional medicine practitioners have made
several claims to finding the cure.
One of them who is generating some buzz on the international scene is the Gambian President, Yahya Jammeh.
He claims to have cured 68 patients who
had HIV/AIDS in varying degrees using his secret concoction of boiled
herbs. In 2007, he first announced that he had found a natural remedy to
cure AIDS, stirring anger among Western medical experts who claimed he
was giving false hope to the sick.
