THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF EDINBURGH JOINS THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST PROFESSOR SSALI’S MARIANDINA PILLS FOR AIDS.

HIS RESPONSE TO THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.

I recently offered to have Mariandina tested by the Ministry of Health and National Drug Authority to find out for themselves how effective it is in the treatment of AIDS. It is now three months and no reply has been forth coming from them despite their original claim that I had feared to subject it to the acid test of a double-blind placebo controlled study. The Joint Research Centre is also afraid to take up the challenge.
They have maintained their refusal to let my Mariandina pills be cleared from the airport at Entebbe to help those affected and whose lives have depended on this natural health booster for the last five years or so. The reasons why they are unwilling to agree to my challenge is the fear that I will prove them wrong.
The conspiracy against me was recently joined by the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh which put on their website a claim that they wanted to dissociate themselves from my work which is aimed at finding a solution to the AIDS pandemic especially in the third world at an affordable price.
I passed the final examination of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh in 1967 but was denounced by the college doctors recently because I announced the results of my 8 year research against AIDS to have yielded results. The wide publicity that has been given to my studious research on AIDS in Uganda in the last few months angered the president and council of the college. I am a hero in the eyes of the Uganda people where my research is based and where I have treated a very large number of AIDS victims. At the end of last year, a mass demonstration of my supporters paraded through Kampala streets demanding the free use of Mariandina that has helped so many since 1992.
The National Drug Authority together with the Ministry of Health put an embargo on further imports of the multivitamins mineral and herbal formulation code named Mariandina in order to give way to the sale of AZT and protease inhibitors sponsored by UNAIDS and Glaxo Welcome with the assistance of the Minister of Health in Uganda. It would have been impossible for the very expensive triple therapy to compete with the non-toxic antioxidant based Mariandina pills I discovered. The National Drug Authority of Uganda hit upon a plan to use covert activities against me and my Mariandina pills which I and my patients claim to reverse the AIDS symptoms and signs. Despite their campaigns, my pills have continued to spread world-wide. I never claim to have discovered immortality but I have brought new hope to the victims of AIDS.
The secretary of the Royal College of Surgeons, Mr. Christie telephoned me and threatened me with a public rebuke on the Internet. He rebuked me for not paying fees to the college and yet continue claiming to be a Fellow of the college.
Mr. Christie on behalf of the president of the Royal College of Surgeons told me that the college does not want to be associated with anyone claiming to treat AIDS successfully. When I asked Christie whether researching in curative methods in the field of AIDS was considered malpractice by the Royal College, Christie answered in the negative. I told him I do not claim to cure HIV but I treat AIDS, with good results.
Christie blamed me for not paying the College the annual fee of £180, which I said I could ill afford. I told him to inform the college council that as a self-financed researcher in the third world, that kind of money would serve a much better purpose if it was used for the relief of the suffering of millions in sub-Saharan Africa where AIDS is literally wiping out whole populations. On the other hand if I had paid the annual subscription for the last 10 years I would have paid a total of £1,800 which serves only those privileged surgeons in the UK to entertain themselves with sumptuous dinners and wine parties to which third world surgeons are hardly ever invited.
If invitations are ever sent, they arrive weeks after the event. Those who receive them in time are discouraged by the need to have to buy an air ticket and fly to the 3-hour event. This in my case would be a waste of hard-earned cash better spent to further my research in AIDS other than take from the poor to entertain the rich as is the wish of the council of the Royal College. This is where the controversy between me and those doctors lies. I am satisfied with the knowledge I acquired in training and I do not care to be kept on the college register, as those with money to spare would want me to do at such great cost.
Since qualifying as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1967, I have made other contributions to medical science. In 1973 1975 I published three papers which changed the way the following diseases are treated up to now.

1.(ATROPHIC RHINITIS) KIBOBE: I published a paper on “The treatment of Atrophic Rhinitis.” A new and curative treatment (middle turbirectomy) JLO 1973, Vol. 8, 397 - 403. This treatment formed the foundation of modern treatment for this condition. This condition known as kibobe in Luganda had no known curative method of treatment that was effective against this very disabling condition found all over the world. It afflicts mainly those in the developing world and the most affected are the poor and the malnourished. It causes a smelling nose which is forbidding and people affected are shunned in society. Women affected cannot get married because of the foul smell coming from their noses. My invention of treatment created a new era for these people allowing them to mix well in society. I got messages of congratulations from Malaysia and India for having discovered this relief for the people in India. The treatment is still used all over the world as I published it in the Journal.

2.RHINO SCLEROMA: I published a paper, “The treatment of Rhino scleroma” JLO 1975, Vol. 89, 91 -99. This treatment is still standard in textbooks. This condition known also as Kokolo in Luganda is a condition that is found all over the world as well as in Uganda. My research and discovery of treatment for this condition created a breakthrough in the management of this condition which had no known effective method of treatment for those afflicted. It can distort the face, the nose and the throat of an individual to make one look extremely ugly and frightening. This appearance is the greatest disability apart from the ultimate death which results when the condition is not treated. I discovered and standardised the treatment for Scleroma and my method is the one used in textbooks as standard treatment up to today.

3.LARYNGO TRACHEOBRONCHITIS: “Steroids and Restoration of body fluids in liquid form as the basis of proper management of Laryngo tracheobronchitis” by C. L. Ssali, Mulago Hospital Kampala -- Proceedings of the 1974 Annual Scientific Conference of the East African Medical Research Council. Since the time of publication, the treatment changed to this regime all over the world up to date. (“The child in the African Environment growth development and survival.” Editors: R. Owor, V. L. Ongom, B. G. Kirya, East African Literature Bureau. Nairobi, Kampala & Dar es Salaam). This is a condition that affects children of between the age of 2 to 5 years causing respiratory obstruction caused by inflammation in the throat and nose and lungs. The original way of treating this condition was to put a tube called tracheotomy to allow breathing to continue otherwise the child would die. My research produced a new method which this condition is treated successfully without using the tracheotomy which used to cause permanent damage and scars in the child’s breathing passages.

The publication of the above papers did not arouse the anger and vengeance of the Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons as is the case now with AIDS. What has happened now? Is AIDS supposed to be left unchallenged to run its course? What concerns me most is that after being refused assistance by the general medical council in London and the WHO in Uganda, they come out to challenge my achievement with my own hard-earned meagre resources.

The surgeons have teamed up with those in the AIDS establishment to frustrate those trying to solve a world-wide problem just because they have a vested interest in its commercialisation. AIDS has become big business monopolised by Western countries whose drug industries stand to gain by AIDS remaining unsolved. The Royal College of Surgeons is heavily indebted to the drug pharmaceutical industries which donate large sums of money annually for its upkeep. The same establishment, through the CODEX have plans to ban the use of nutritional supplements like vitamins and herbs. Their first step has been to try and stop people using vitamin B6 and vitamin C. Behind the CODEX are multinational drug companies that want the United Nations’ legislation to burn the use of supplements that will bind all nations at the risk of heavy penalties for those who violate it.

It therefore became the responsibility of the college to fight tooth and nail against any individual or organisation that claims to discover any remedy that is efficacious against any disease for which these industries have invested their own money. They want to maintain the monopoly of conditions like AIDS for which they have a lot at stake. It would seem that the lives of black Africans are of no consequence where Western interests are at stake.

My problems take their root from here. Big money is changing hands in these campaigns against me. There are those who look at AIDS as a weapon to reduce the population of the black people world-wide. When a man like me begins to interfere with this programme, their tempers begin to rise. The forces in favour of these programs have mounted covert activities in the third world aimed at dis-informing the masses using black stooges. They bribe newspaper reporters to write adverse reports about pioneering researchers like me. My own security has been threatened by the same people. Mariandina has now gone out of my hands and will have to continue, whatever happens.

Whole government ministries are blinded by hard cash paid into their bank accounts to forget all about their fellow Africans dying by the millions annually. I have been denied financial assistance by my own home government. In Uganda we have no better treatment for AIDS than Mariandina and yet the government prefers to let people die than to let me try to help them. Mariandina costs roughly US $40 a month as compared to the US $1,500 for the triple therapy of AZT, 3TC, DDI, DDC which the Uganda Ministry of Health has been sponsoring into all the hospitals and clinics throughout the country backed by a donation of US $1,000,000 from UNAIDS and the drug industry. What advantages have these drugs over Mariandina, which is free from side effects unlike those they sponsor?

It is therefore not surprising to see the Royal College of Surgeons disown the product of their own training programme in order to assist their mentors in the battle to maintain the monopoly of AIDS treatment.
