Berlin Doctor Uses Gene Mutations To Treat HIV Successfully
November 11th, 2009
There is a doctor in Berlin who claims to have the cure for HIV/Aids. His name is Gero Huetter, who works in the Department of Hematology, Oncology and Transfusion Medicine at Berlin’s Charity University Hospital.
It seems that Dr. Huetter had an American patient who at 40 years old had been HIV positive for 10 years when he developed Leukemia. Instead of using the “best matched” bone marrow donor, Dr. Huetter used a stem cell donor who had a gene mutation known as CCR-5 Delta- 32. This patient has been off of all HIV treatment for over two years and continues to have normal Tcell counts.
This is defiantly a movement toward a cure for AIDS and should be watched carefully.
