A recently concluded double-blind placebo controlled trial of the herbal supplement Sutherlandia OPC has confirmed what thousands of users already knew - Sutherlandia OPC is 100% effective in reversing HIV symptoms.

In the article "Success Against Cancer and HIV in South Africa" I reported how the Sutherlandia OPC supplement from South Africa designed by South African HIV and cancer crusader and researcher Marc Swanepoel had been virtually 100% successful in stabilizing and reversing HIV symptoms and over 90% successful against a broad range of cancers.

As a result of this success with several hundred people over the past almost four years, early this year Mr. Swanepoel devised and helped conduct a small scale clinical trial to measure the effectiveness of his supplement ingredients - the common oleander plant, Nerium Oleander, and the "South Africa Cancer Bush" Sutherlandia Frutescens - against HIV at a well known Johannesburg AIDS clinic.

The clinical trial has just concluded with results as impressive as the previous reports: All of the HIV patients improved significantly whereas all of the placebo group continued to decline.

In the trail, a double blind, placebo controlled study, the 20 participants were patients attending the AIDS clinic and they were not on any special diets. The herbal supplement mix was given to half of the patients in a commercially available soy/milk product which had added vitamins added. The patients receiving the placebo got only the soy/milk and vitamins without the herbal mix. None of the patients knew what they were getting. Throughout the trial, patients in both groups had blood tests performed by registered pathology labs to measure blood levels of CD4.

From Mr. Swanepoel's Summary:

Results and Findings

Three of the individuals in the placebo group withdrew as a result of continuous deterioration of their condition. In all three cases this happened within the first 30 days of starting on the placebo. They were given the choice of taking anti-retrovirals or the real herbal mixture without participating in the rest of the study. Two chose to take anti-retrovirals while the third one decided to take the real mixture. From the Tables and Graphs it can be seen that the group that had received the Herbal Mixture had an average CD4 count increase of 135 while the placebo group had an average CD4 count decrease of 87.

The following categorical statement can thus be made: An herbal mixture of Sutherlandia Frutescens and Oleander Nerium is
