Siyayinqoba Beat It! 2005 Episode 15 - Unregulated experimentation

Video clipMatthias Rath, who has been discredited in a number of countries in Europe has set up the Dr Rath Foundation in South Africa and has claimed that his package of vitamins can reverse the course of AIDS. While there is no scientific proof that anything besides antiretrovirals (ARVs) can effectively treat HIV and AIDS by restoring our immune systems, the Rath Foundation has actively campaigned against the use of ARVs. Together with the Siyayinqoba support group, we learnt in this episode from the deaths of Ntombekhaya Kruthani and Noxolo Ngalo, and the views of doctors and activists experienced in HIV/AIDS work, of the disastrous consequences of taking the vitamin ‘cures' offered by the Rath Foundation.
