Experimenting with wonder herbs on HIV patients

KORAPUT: Hari Pangi , a small tribal farmer from Tentuliguda in Semiliguda block of Koraput district has been treating patients for different diseases free of cost for the last many years.

While medicine was one of his passion and has answers to various common ailments, his contacts and associations with the people in civil society organisations, he could realise some of the basic needs of a HIV patient like increase in the immune strength that were required to live longer. And this was enough for his inquisitive mind to search some roots and herbs suitable for the purpose. At last he is now hopeful that he had found seven herbs and roots that were helpful and supportive to raise the immune strength of the body, blood formation and gain of weight in HIV patients. He has also started experimenting with two poor persons suffering from HIV infection who had left all their hopes for the complexity of receiving the benefits of services provided by the government. After 70 days of treatment with the powder prepared from the seven wonder herbs, these patients have shown good response, Mr. Pangi claims. While one of the patients had gained 13 kg . weight during the period, none of the two had faced any serious problem or experienced prolonged illness. Their CD count is also being monitored and was expected to rise, he hoped. Looking at the successful development in these two patients, more number of people are approaching for treatment.
