• Gambian president says he has discovered a cure for AIDS

• President has no medical degree, says treatment came to him in a dream
• Global health officials want to conduct scientific tests on the herbal concoction

Ousman Sow, 54, said he's been HIV-positive since 1996 and had been taking anti-retrovirals for the past fours years until he volunteered for this program.
Four weeks later, he said he's gained 30 pounds and feels like a new person.
"I am cured at this moment," he said.
Asked if he had any HIV symptoms, he responded, "No, I don't. As I stand before you I can honestly tell you I have ceased to have any HIV symptoms."
Patient after patient gave similar statements to CNN. But it was difficult to verify the authenticity of their testimony. The government claims to have scientific evidence, but it did not provide any to CNN.
Interesting report...though he didn't seem too fond of providing a lot of proof with CNN.
