           Maximum Medical Centre is an out-patient clinic that is located off Exit 7 Thika Super Highway, Ruaraka, Nairobi.  Its clinic hours are from 10 a.m. to 4p.m.   and is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

 

          Although the clinic has been serving the Ruaraka area and its environs since March 2010, it is also known as providing an alternative treatment that is safer and more effective against HIV infection to patients all over Kenya, East Africa and the world.

 

           The alternative remedy is in the form of an herbally-based medicine with one conventional drug which is not an antiretroviral and is known as Maximum Immune Booster 1.  Its inventor, a chemistry lecturer in Chepkoiliel University in Kenya, Prof. Paul Chepkwony, was inspired in 2005 by a relative who was not able to tolerate antriretrovirals (ARV’s).  The remedy which is 14-plant combination was standardized in capsule form and improved in 2009 by adding low-dose naltrexone, a drug that is gaining popularity in the U.S.A and all over the world as an immune modulator to prevent chronic inflammation associated with HIV infection and a condition known as Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome or IRIS, which can be fatal.

 

 

IRIS or Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome is a combination of symptoms brought about by an exaggerated and deranged immune response to the presence of an opportunistic infection/s that is usually associated when the immune system is boosted with the use of antiretrovirals and/or our herbal remedy (Maximum Immune Booster).

 

 

Sero-reversion (HIV+ to HIV-) cases:

 

KERICHO GROUP

 

          There are approximately 500 patients in the Kericho group, but they were dispersed in the 2007 Kenyan post-election-violence.  Many patients had to interrupt treatment due to the mini-civil war in the region.   At that time the number known to have turned HIV-negative was around 20.  A few of these patients agreed to be interviewed and retested in 2009 for a follow-up investigation, and also participated in subsequent phone-call follow-ups.  As of January 2014, Bernard Ngeno, the herbalist who dispenses the herbal remedy in Kericho, (Prof. Paul Chepkwony is now the Governor of Kericho County) claimed that there are around 187 patients who have turned HIV-negative out of 700 patients who he has treated since 2005.  

 

MUKURU GROUP

 

          At the end of the one-and-a-half-year program on February 2011, three females tested HIV-negative, but one then retested as faintly positive several months later.  They take the herbal remedy when they can afford to come to the clinic (now in Ruaraka section of Garden Estate) to collect their herbal supply.  Unbeknownst to the experimenters, one of these female patients had given the herbal to her son for six months and he turned HIV-negative.  At the time of this writing, the mother’s CD4 count is 1400 cells/mm3 . 

 

          On January 25, 2014, two other female patients from the group found out they are now HIV-negative.  They know that their cd4 count is high but were unaware of their HIV-negative status until they were tested on that date.  Both stopped taking the herbal on the dates indicated in the case summaries below.  Both patients are available for interview, and will they will be retested again next year.

 

 

RUARAKA GROUP

 

          The clinic (Maximum Medical Clinic) has produced one case of seroreversion in its first year of operation in 2011.  And has produced 2 more in 2013.  There are numerous anonymous cases (patients who give testimonies of seroreversion somewhere else but prefer not to be identified) and mostof the clinic’s patients show clinical improvement.
