New ways against AIDS

One of the juices obtained in the fruit of the bread tree, called jacobin, has in vitro inhibited the HIV virus (AIDS) in a trial conducted at the Institute of Microbiology and Immunology of Montpellier. Jean Favero has been the scientist who has realized this power of the sage.

The juices called “jalina” to the fruit of the bread tree that grows in the tropics would protect the cells from the HIV virus.

Although it does not affect contaminated lymphocytes, it protects them while they are healthy. To prevent this molecule from being so toxic, researchers prepare to experiment in vivo.

On the other hand, in Iparraguirre, Boston General Hospital is looking for another medicine. These are three associated products: TR, DDI (both used at once) and the third substance, which can be pyridinonea or nebirapinea. All these molecules attack an enzyme that needs the virus to reproduce, the reverse transcriptase.

Early in vitro assays indicate that mixing these three substances can protect cells and cure contaminated cells. Now it is necessary to apply this “cocktail” to the human being, but they will do it before.
