Has BYU prof found AIDS cure?

[Thursday1]

Via Slash Dot
Salt Lake Tribune:

Researchers, including a BYU scientist, believe they have found a new compound that could finally kill the HIV/AIDS virus, not just slow it down as current treatments do.
And, unlike the expensive, drug cocktails 25 years of research have produced for those with the deadly virus, the compound invented by Paul D. Savage of Brigham Young University appears to hunt down and kill HIV.
Although so far limited to early test tube studies, CSA-54, one of a family of compounds called Ceragenins (or CSAs), mimics the disease-fighting characteristics of anti-microbial and anti-viral agents produced naturally by a healthy human immune system.

This is hasn’t gone out for peer review yet, so everything should be taken with a grain of salt. However, if this treatment works, it might also eliminate many other viruses as well.
Salt Lake Tribune:

In addition to being a potential checkmate to HIV, the compounds show indications of being just as effective against other diseases plaguing humankind - among them influenza, possibly even the dread bird flu, along with smallpox and herpes.

I can only hope and pray that these results are true.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday

Hey, I have an aids cure too, it is called SEXUAL MORALITY. I know that Aids is spread many ways but it sure wouldn’t be the issue in a few generations if we just practiced Gods Laws.

In retrospect I recognize that my response was both ignorant and unChrist like. I pray that these results are true also. It is just frustrating.
