Cure for AIDS found
Designer Enzyme Cuts HIV Out of Infected Cells: Scientific American

Wily little German scientists engineered an enzyme which removes HIV from the DNA of infected human cells.

Next they have to find a way to identify which cells have been infected and voila, cure for AIDS. Cool cool ****.

highly doubt anything will come of this any time soon.... HIV mutates so fast i highly doubt that this specific enzyme will work all the time if at all.

If you read the article it already says that the enzyme is capable of identifying every form of HIV in that sample no matter how the HIV had mutated.

How HIV inserts itself into DNA; i.e. the "endpoints" of the insertion is identicle in every form of HIV. If it weren't it wouldn't be able to insert itself or it would have a completely different effect. What is different is the middle portion of the DNA that gets inserted. This enzyme doesn't care about the middle portions, it IDs the endpoints which don't change.

This works for every mutation of HIV.

It isn't ready to be administered yet. One of the biggest tricks HIV is capable of pulling is its ability to hide and remina dormant for months or even years. Heck even the current HIV tests aren't even close to 100% accurate. In order for this cure to work effectively a carrier for it must be able to identify infected cells to deliver this enzyme to.


But whats so crazy about this discovery is they can use the technique to engineer this enzyme to engineer enzymes that will cure any virus they want. CURE, not treat, not vaccinate. CURE.

Yeah, this isn't anywhere near ready for primetime but what we're witnessing here is the beginning of something BIG. Once they get this technique down (probably another decade or so) it can be used to cure all sorts of infectious diseases. We're witnessing the birth of a new branch of medicine IMHO.

What is that funny smell? Is it .... snake oil? After visiting your Natural Medicine Wellness Provider for some UV Light treatments, don't forget to stop off at the Witch Doctor so he can sacrifice a goat to your ancestor spirits so they may watch over you.

Research it, brother. Don't be so quick to pass judgement. You may actually learn something.
