A PHYSICIST in Lindford wants to convince medical experts of the power of complimentary medicine through his work on a natural remedy for HIV victims. Richard Ellis, owner of Headley Mill, has been on several field trips to northern Thailand in the last two years to record the effect of his remedy on some of the 2.2 million children around the world who suffer from the incurable disease, which can eventually lead to AIDS. Test results on a group of 30 children have shown that, while his patients have not been cured, the treatment has relieved pain from some of the normal symptoms such as fever. Dr Ellis, a former physics student at Oxford University, revealed his formula was made from natural resources including water, flowers, minerals and what he called the "life force". The doctor, who has worked with complimentary medicine since the 1980s, has previously produced natural treatments for bacterial infections such as the hospital super-bug MRSA, as well as viral and fungal infections. He said: "Forty per cent of people use complimentary medicine at some point in their lives but it is an area of research which is largely ignored by the medical establishment because it is seen as being unscientific. "I recently gave my remedies to a little girl in Thailand who had HIV, and two weeks later I was told that her fever had gone and she had started playing with the other children again. But tests have shown that she and others have not been completely cured yet. Dr Ellis is also working on a cure for tuberculosis (TB), one of the infections which the weakened immune system of an HIV sufferer is particularly vulnerable to and can trigger the development of AIDS in sufferers. He said: "I currently have a therapy for TB, and I am working with Thai doctors who give out medicine for this disease. "Last year a girl with HIV caught TB so we put her on my intensive anti-TB therapy. Four days later, she was much better. She is still not properly cured of either disease yet, but is not as ill as before. Hopefully, we are going to cure HIV and TB. If we did so, it would be a tremendous breakthrough." He told The Herald he expected to be able eventually to send his remedies abroad, explaining that his main goal in the future is to "heal suffering and disease". When asked about the mysterious "life force" at work in his formula, the doctor added: "The life force is a force of nature like a magnetic field, except that it is another force with different properties. "For example, inside an electric motor, there is a magnetic field which makes it turn. Furthermore, inside every modern electronic device, there are tiny electric fields which make them work. "Similarly, inside living organisms there is the life force which makes them alive. Doctors used to believe in the life force, but when medicine became more scientific, they said there was no evidence for it, and so now medicine tends to ignore it. "However, some doctors and complementary medicine recognise that the life force exists, and work with it to heal disease. "Physicists are now finding evidence for spirit or the holy ghost, which they call the unified field. "The life force comes from the unified field and makes us alive. It brings consciousness and vitality into living organisms. It creates the geometrical shapes of plants, insects and animals. "The life force also causes growth and healing. When an organism is ill, there are defects in its life force. "I have studied the life force from the point of view of advanced modern physics, to find out how to make remedies that repair and strengthen the life force to stimulate healing. "It is all the time trying to heal the body. The right thing to do is to repair it, so that it works correctly as God intended it too."
