Khomeini 'Aids Drug' Banned
The Monitor, 4/21/2006
The Government has with immediate effect banned the use of an Iranian anti-Aids and Tuberculosis herb (Khomeini) and its distribution in the country.
The State Minister in charge of Primary Health Care, Dr Alex Kamugisha, announced in Parliament yesterday that the Institute of Elahi International Initiatives for Development and Education (IEIIDE) must stop treating patients and distributing its products in Uganda.
At the same time, angry members of Parliament demanded for the immediate arrest, prosecution and deportation of the Institute's head Prof. Sheik Allagholi Elahi.
"All the patients under the care of Prof. Elahi are advised to receive appropriate care and treatment including ARVs from accredited health facilities under the Ministry of Health," Kamugisha said. "The public is advised that the Khomeini products are not a cure for HIV/Aids and anyone taking them does so at his or her own risk."
Prof. Elahi claims he cures HIV/Aids and Tuberculosis in three weeks...
The main components of the drug, according to the study are olive oil, honey and minerals of varying concentrations.
"The samples analyzed did not have antibiotics, antiretroviral and antituberclosis drugs currently in use in Uganda," Kamugisha said…
