A sweet, herb-laden concoction sipped through a straw out of and old pancake syrup bottle may help you gain weight and put nutrients in your body. It might even make you feel stronger for a little while. But I seriously doubt it’s going to cure the AIDS. Double-blind testing is probably unnecessary here; simple blood tests of allegedly “cured” patients will almost certainly show the presence of AIDS virus in these no doubt sadly desperate, but shockingly credulous, citizens of The Gambia. Just goes to show you that quack medicine comes from all sorts of different places.
