Possible HIV Cure from Frog Sweat

 

U.S. scientists have found antimicrobial peptides from frog secretions that can kill the HIV virus.

The Vanderbilt University Medical Centre has found 15 antimicrobial peptides that can create holes in the membrane and cause the virus to fall apart.

The Australian red-eyed tree frog has the highest levels of peptides. The peptides also seem to protect T cells from infection.

  Frogs cure aids?  
 
If it is so then I hope there are at least some cancer scientists looking at nature.
Kind of funny that the one disease we could never fight effectivly, is cured by frog sweat lol.

  Interesting  
 
The study showed that injecting frog juice into monkies gave them warts as a side effect.

Well, obviously it needs cleaning up a bit. Lol. All we need is the exact chemical that kills the cells.

Were the warts permanent? Lol.

And yes, HIV isnt AIDS, but no HIV would mean a large decrease in AIDS. Hehe. Ofcourse if they did use this to make a drug they would put a HUGE price tag on it so all of Africa would still be HIV+.

  The Government  
 
Like the government would let this get fully recognised and distrubuted. The sale of anti-hiv aids drugs is a big business for pharmecitucals...like drugs...big business for US...any country

  @Mr Anderson  
 
Exactly, hence why one treatment would most likly cost around $200,000. With 2-3 treatments needed to cure it. Hey you want to live right?

  frogs don't sweat...  
 
secretions =/ sweat. the glands that the frog uses are, tho unrelated, are more like our sebaceous (oil) glands than sweat glands.

  HIV/AIDS  
 
HIV is the virus. AIDS is the condition that HIV gives you once your t-cell count drops below a certain ammount. thus the distiction between hiv/aids.
