Revealing the first AIDS patient to be cured
On June 3, for the first time, the world's first AIDS patient was cured in public after nearly half a year of being hidden.
In December 2010, the world press reported: Dr. Gero Huetter of the Charite School of Medicine in Berlin cured AIDS for a 40-year-old American patient by spinal cord transplantation. But the names and images of the patients are still hidden, making people skeptical. But now everything is clear, lucky people have appeared .
For physicians around the world, Timothy West Brown's American AIDS case is like a light in a dark tunnel trying to cure this century's disease. This miserable man suffers from both AIDS and blood cancer.
Timothy West Brown, the first AIDS patient in the world to be cured.
In the eyes of the medical world, Brown is the one who is "slowly moving to the grave". But the miracle happened: After a marrow transplant, Timothy West Brown had a complete death, both diseases were gone. This event has stirred not only the medical world but also the world by Timothy West Brown's case, people have seen the health of the medical world: Can end the AIDS disease of the century!
It has been 30 years since humans discovered the existence of HIV (5-6-1981). On this occasion, medical doctors have signaled the signal to focus all efforts to remove this scary virus from the world. This belief is based on two factors: the progress of science and the pressure of money.
In developing countries alone, each year the amount spent on treating AIDS patients has reached 1.3 billion USD. As of now, by 2031, this number will be 3 times. The treatment runs for formidable AIDS patients, need to find a way to cure the disease.
Timothy West Brown is a person with AIDS and white blood disease. In 2007, he went to Berlin to see Dr. Gero Huetter at Charite Medical University - expert on oncology and blood sugar disease. Mr. Gero Huetter remembers: The situation of Timothy West Brown was very bad at the time, near death.
Mr. Gero Huetter immediately made a decision: Conduct a bone marrow transplant to treat white blood disease first. The results are unexpected: After 3 years of clinical observation, the bone marrow transplant not only cure white blood disease but also cure AIDS.
It turns out, the donor's spinal cord fits very well with Timothy, and also contains a mutated gene that kills HIV. According to previous research, this mutated gene exists only in the body of a few Nordic people.
On June 2, Mr. Gero Huetter said: 'Because of Timothy West Brown's AIDS, we think that even if we have a marrow transplant, we must leave this world. Unbelievably, he miraculously lived like that. Now that he is no longer HIV-positive, he no longer has to take medicine. '
However, many scientists believe that it is impossible to apply the spinal cord transplant method to treat AIDS for other patients because of the high cost, complexity, high risk and need to find a special bone marrow donor: The marrow has an HIV resistance gene, which is only available in some Nordic people.
Dr. Robert Gallo of Mariland University frankly expressed his objection: 'This method is not practical, will kill many people'.
