Lemon juice 'could stop Aids'
"The acidity is something that
may well help inactivate and kill HIV ..."
Friday, 11 October, 2002, 00:17 GMT 01:17 UK -BBC NEWS
The common lemon - a cure for the HIV virus?
Australian scientists believe lemon juice could
act as a cheap and effective birth control and
help stop the spread of the deadly Aids
disease.
Reproductive scientist Roger Short, from the
University of Melbourne, said laboratory tests
have shown that lemon juice killed sperm and
the HIV virus, which often develops into Aids.
Speaking on the Australian
television programme
Catalyst, Mr Short said
lemons could be an
alternative to costly
HIV-drugs and traditional
forms of contraceptives in
developing countries.
According to Mr Short,
lemons could be used as
a contraceptive by soaking a piece of cotton
wool in the juice and inserting it into the
vagina before sex.
"We can show in the lab that lemon juice is
very effective in immobilising human sperm and
also very effective in killing HIV," he said.
Medieval roots
The practice of using lemon juice to prevent
pregnancy was commonly used in medieval
times, including by the legendary lothario
Casanova, but has been forgotten by modern
medicine.
"About 300 years ago,
Mediterranean women
used lemon juice as
their main method of
contraception," said
Mr Short.
His findings have been
challenged by other
scientists, who warned
of the potential of
damaging side-effects.
"It's possible that he's
[Mr Short] onto
something but it clearly needs to be followed
up in clinical trials in humans," said Andrew
Grulich, from the Australian Society for HIV
Medicine.
"The acidity is something that may well help
inactivate and kill HIV, but we also need to be
concerned that the level of acidity might also
damage the vaginal lining and allow an entry
point for HIV," said Mr Grulich.
Mr Short said he planned to carry out tests in
the method in Thailand.
