"good news!"

The Team at the University of Hamburg and the Heinrich-Pette-Institute for Virology and Immunological reseach working with Erlangen-Nürnberg unversity and Axxima Pharmaceuticals have built on the discovery of Hypusine an unusual and unique posttranslational modification, conserved in evolution from halobacteria to man. to create an enzyme inhibitor which stops the replication of HIV in an infected human body.

we need your middle class cash and your poor people prayers.

In simple language -

the new product blocks enzyme production in human cells a substance called - deoxyhypusine synthase.

the virus HIV needs to enter human cells to work.
(it's work being AIDS)
By stopping it entering succesfully a human cell it's work is stopped.

This is not a "vaccine"
nor is it a "cure".
It just means the damage can be stopped from getting worse at what is called HIV stage 1.

Increasingly "stopping it getting worse" is the task of humanity, since humanity has in it's darkness made so many things and itself bad and has very little hope of making them better for many of it's lifetimes. But if humanity wants to enjoy the garden it calls earth there are a lot of thing to stop getting worse.
The value of your house or mortgage is not important.
The value of your college degree is not that important either.
The value of your planet is.
the value you place on the lives and quality of lives of your billions of brothers and sisters regardless of species is .

The full report will be published by team leader Dr. Ilona Hauber in the American publication - Journal of Clinical Investigation (Hauber et. al., Vol.115, Nr. 1, Jan 2005)

The background info is available from the Universities and Pharmaceutical partner and on Sage.
