A Professor of Virology Maduike Ezeibe, of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, has made claims that he has discovered a therapy that could cure the coronavirus ravaging China and some Asian countries.
Ezeibe had earlier claimed that the therapy could also cure HIV/AIDS.
The varsity don who is the Dean, College of Veterinary Medicine, MOUAU, made the claims in a statement made available to journalists in Umuahia the Abia state capital on Thursday.
He added that the therapy can also cure Lassa fever.
He gave the chemical equation of the therapy as (AI4(SiO4)3+3Mg2SiO4-2AI2Mg3(SiO4)3) said: “it’s a mechanism for curing Covid -19 and Lassa fever”.
Ezeibe stated, “The electrostatic attraction would make electrically charged medicines mop pathogens which have opposite charges, is a known scientific fact and that viruses and abnormal (infected /tumor) cells are electrically charged is now known.
” Covid-19 virus and Lassa fever virus (DNA viruses) are negatively charged. Small sizes of viruses enable them to infect cells, inaccessible to big molecules. So, existing antiviral medicines need immunity to complement their effects but some viruses cause immune deficiency.
“As a silicate, AMS also normalizes immunity and as a stabilizing agent, it enhances efficacy of antimicrobials to achieve effective treatment secondary infections.
“Effective treatment of secondary infections would cure any viral /abnormal cell diseases including Covid -19 and Lassa fever “, the statement read.
The scholars called on countries who are being ravaged by coronavirus to come and take his therapy for clinical trials on their patients.
He expressed confidence that the therapy which had already proved reliable in the treatment of HIV/AIDS would make coronavirus a thing of the past.
He said those already infested with coronavirus should not come to Nigeria to access the therapy to avoid the spread of the virus adding that their countries should make arrangements on how to obtain the therapy for their nationals.
He said, “cost is not an issue for now. what is important at the moment is to bring a cure to the thousands of patients already infected with the virus.
