Abstract
We have individually treated ten AIDS patients whose CD4 numbers were inferior to 200/mm3, with the five following HIV1 virostatics: a) azido-deoxythymidine (AZT), dideoxyinosine (ddI) and dideoxycytidine (ddC), which affect the same viral target, retrotranscriptase, b) acriflavine (ACF) and methyl-hydroxy-ellipticine (MHE) which we have discovered to be strong virostatics in vivo, in mice, against Friend's virus, and in man, against AZT resistant HIV1. We have shown that their combinations with AZT, hitting three viral targets, reduces in mice, the blood Friend's virus load below detectable level. Due to the short doubling time of HIV1, AIDS therapy must be continuous, and to allow the best tolerance, the five virostatic combinations were applied in short, three-week sequences, each differing as much as possible from the former and from the following one, due to drug rotation [1]. Among the ten patients, a) three received the two-drug combinations for 15 to 30 months, followed by the three-drug combinations, b) three received the three-drug combinations from the beginning, c) four received the four-drug combinations also from the beginning, two having less than 10 CD4/mm3 at initiation of treatment, and two having more than 10...Continue Reading
