I can imagine the Huh! look plastered all over your faces. But that's what President Yahya Jammeh of Gambia claimed to have. Infact, he announced on Sunday evening that 68 patients had been cured and discharged from a treatment centre. The secret to the 'magic' is a concoction of boiled herbs.
He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to blow his trumpet, "Who am I to expect that everybody would praise me, just as the Prophet Mohammed prevailed and established Islam, I have also prevailed to cure HIV/AIDS to the point that 68 are being discharged today," he said.
Now, the World Health Organisation and the UN's main concern is that HIV/AIDS patients who plan on getting this treatment will have to stop their anti-retro viral drugs, making them more prone to infection.
It would be recalled that President Jammeh hinted the world about this remedy five years ago, it was later labelled false among western medical experts. His next line of action is to integrate "natural medicine'' to all the country's hospitals, to complement Western medical techniques.
Revelation of the year.
