Maybe this will make people more confident as they swallow the ballmilk down.

This is good news.

This treatment involves a bone marrow transplant. Bone Marrow transplants are very, very serious. Involves massive doses of radiation and chemo therapy drugs.

Years ago I had a coworker who needed a bone marrow transplant to treat blood disorder. Took months and had terrible side effects ( hair loss, weight loss and intense pain). Was very upsetting to watch what he went through.

It will take YEARS for a PRACTICAL treatment to develop from these two episodes.

This is good news.

Your ignorance is truly astonishing and rather worrying...

It's still great news even though it's not practical for the masses.

Black Man May Hold The Cure for HIV

Scientists are saying they are one step closer to curing the HIV virus. And the secret lies in the body of a 60-year-old Black man. Pop it for details…
Say whaaat?! The creators of HIV Government scientists say they have found an antibody that kills 91% of HIV strains.

In the latest development, U.S. government scientists say they have discovered three powerful antibodies, the strongest of which neutralizes 91% of HIV strains, more than any AIDS antibody yet discovered. They are now deploying the technique used to find those antibodies to identify antibodies to influenza viruses.

The HIV antibodies were discovered in the cells of a 60-year-old African-American gay man, known in the scientific literature as Donor 45, whose body made the antibodies naturally. The trick for scientists now is to develop a vaccine or other methods to make anyone’s body produce them as well.

Donor 45′s antibodies didn’t protect him from contracting HIV. That is likely because the virus had already taken hold before his body produced the antibodies. He is still alive, and when his blood was drawn, he had been living with HIV for 20 years.

While he has produced the most powerful HIV antibody yet discovered, researchers say they don’t know of anything special about his genes that would make him unique.

Of course, they say it will take time to develop and will probably be expensive. Basically, you’re gonna need Magic Johnson money to get the vaccine.

LA TIMES:THE KEY antibodies from the blood of a 60-year-old African American
A breakthrough in AIDS research

A pair of naturally occurring antibodies are able to kill more than 90% of all strains of HIV, researchers say. The finding could lead to the development of new treatments and a possible vaccine.

An effective vaccine against the AIDS virus may have moved one step closer to reality, researchers said Thursday.
Federal researchers have identified a pair of naturally occurring antibodies that are able to kill more than 90% of all strains of the AIDS virus, a finding they say could lead to the development of new treatments for HIV infections and to the production of the first successful vaccine against the virus.



HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is notoriously mutable, changing the composition of proteins on its surface with ease to escape pressure from the immune system. This enables it to continue infecting cells even after the appearance of antibodies targeting it — and to avoid the relatively ineffective vaccines developed so far.
Hundreds of variants of the virus are now in circulation around the world, and the identification of so-called broadly neutralizing antibodies that can block the bulk of them has been the holy grail of HIV researchers.
To date, however, the best antibodies — immune system proteins that fight infections — that researchers have found block only 30% to 40% of all HIV strains. The identification of antibodies that can block more than 90% of strains could lead to what some researchers are dubbing a renaissance in AIDS prevention and treatment.
The key to the new antibodies is that they bind to a site on the virus surface that rarely mutates.
"I am more optimistic about an AIDS vaccine at this point in time than I have been probably in the last 10 years," Dr. Gary Nabel of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told Reuters. He led the research reported Thursday in the online edition of the journal Science.
Nabel and his colleagues isolated the antibodies from the blood of a 60-year-old African American gay man. Using newly developed imaging and analytical techniques, they found that the two antibodies, called VRC01 and VRC02, bind to a spike on the surface of the virus. This spike interacts with a receptor called the CD4 binding site on the surface of human cells, and when an antibody binds to it, the virus cannot enter a cell.
Because the virus must use CD4 to enter cells, it cannot tolerate mutations in the spike. The composition of the spike is thus pretty much constant in all variants of HIV in circulation.







BREAKING NEWS!: Immunity Gene ‘Cures’ Bay Area Man Of AIDS
HIV Cell Breakthrough



In a breakthrough, American scientists have succeeded in eradicating HIV from the body by genetically engineering immune cells (T-cells) for making them HIV-resistant.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Carl June, gene therapy expert from the University of Pennsylvania, presented the finding at an AIDS conference in Boston this week.
Researchers found by taking blood, removing a single gene called CCR5 from white blood cells or T-cells called CD4 cells most prone to infection by HIV, and then returning the blood to the body of nine HIV-positive patients, halted the spread of HIV, as the disabled T-cells were no longer able to manufacture the protein that attracts the HIV virus.
Following the alteration of the T-cells continuing to multiply in the body, allow it to build up resistance to HIV.

According to researchers, their pioneering treatment of creating HIV resistant T-cells in all nine patients, has shown promise in the first nine HIV infected people to receive it.
Lead scientist Carl June said this was the first example of genetic editing for introducing a disease resistant gene in patients.
