"According to our clinical research on around 8,900 patients over the past four years, their CD4 decreased by 12 per cubic millimeter each year after taking TCM therapy, while the control group that did not take any medicine lost 30 to 50 cells a year," Wang said.
"However, the combination of Western therapy and TCM is even better, with the patients' CD4 increasing by 15 each year."
"Although TCM therapy cannot cure the disease completely, it can surely help the patients in some way," said Amir Housman Kashmir, a clinical PhD in Chinese Medicine from Iran, currently based in Beijing.
In 2010, Kashmir met two non-Chinese AIDS patients who received TCM therapy in China.
"One of them used TCM therapy for six months and felt his immunity was improved. The other had caught some skin and pulmonary diseases, but later the symptoms were not so severe," Kashmir said. "It was from that time that I started to believe in the effectiveness of TCM therapy in curing AIDS."
"As a TCM doctor, I have seen a good number of people visiting China to try TCM therapy to treat other chronic diseases. I have to say TCM works well in curing chronic diseases, but I believe there is still space for improvement, especially in terms of introducing the drug's working mechanism to Western doctors."
According to Wang Jian, Chinese herbal medicines work differently from Western anti-HIV drugs. The Western therapies target blocking viral replication, but TCM therapy works towards increasing people's immunity.
