Have you found evidence that there is anything actively harmful in this supposed remedy?
It is actively harmful if people take it instead of real medicine and sicken and die from the disease they are suffering in consequence.
This is not a theoretical danger. People in the West have been known to take homeopathic and other quack 'remedies' for malaria before going on holiday in the tropics and catching the disease as a result.
As for AIDS, we have before us the terrifying example of South Africa to remind us what happens when HIV-positive people are encouraged to forgo their medication in favour of vitamin supplement and crackpot theories.
Lastly, I remind you that no authenticated clinical trials have been done in Malawi and reported in the scientific media; the title of the post is therefore a falsehood.

Still no evidence for anything, I see.
Ignore me for all you're worth. It's other people I want seeing and reading my posts, so that they're forewarned and forearmed against this quackery.
