Good news: researcher Prihartini Widayanti from Airlangga University in Surabaya (Indonesia) has succeeded to develop a medicine made from the Gandarusa herb for HIV-positive people. This herb is believed to be able to replace the existing antiretroviral medicines, which have many side effects for the users.
The research, that has been conducted since 2008, shows that the plant -which origins from Papua- is actively proved to fight against replication or reproduction of the HIV virus. The replication of the HIV virus is known to be very fast: it can achieve 106 every day and Gandarusa has the effect of inhabiting the transcriptase enzyme that plays a role in the reproduction of the HIV virus.
The Gandarusa herb can potentially be very useful in helping people with HIV, since it’s a hygienic herbal medicine which has no negative side effects at all. It’s expected that when using the herb, people with HIV will have a better health condition than when consuming classic antiretroviral medicines.
The research of Gandarusa as a treatment has already passed the laboratory test phase, but it should pass one more phase in order to standardize Gandarusa as/in a drug category. Hopefully their hard work is paying off and the herb will prove to be as effective as the more traditional anti-retroviral meds. One step closer to a less invasive way of treatment, people!
