Charlie Sheen revealed that he recently traveled to Mexico to see a doctor, who claims he can cure HIV. While having the treatment, he said the whole experience was "mind blowing" as the doctor injected himself with the actor's blood, trying to prove to him that he was HIV-free.
The Two and a Half Men actor appeared on The Dr Oz Show on Tuesday, Jan. 12 where he revealed that he went to Mexico to see Doctor Samir Chachoua -- who claims his series of injections can cure HIV-positive patients, but his license is only allowed within Mexico.
Sheen admitted that although he didn't have any "faith" that it will work, he still decided to go through with it. He said after receiving the initial stages of treatment, he saw some "incredible results." Then he stopped taking his antiretroviral HIV medications after he discovered that his HIV became undetectable.
While going through the whole process, Sheen also disclosed to Dr Oz that Chachoua injected himself with the actor's blood to prove to him that he was no longer positive with HIV and he was confident with his abilities. However, Dr Oz -- who gained fame on The Oprah Winfrey Show as a health adviser -- said that "It's pretty inappropriate," which Charlie totally agreed.
The actor further revealed that earlier that day, before the interview started, he received a bad news about his condition. He said that his HIV was again detectable. Hence, he will go back to some traditional HIV medications and treatments.
In the latter minutes of the interview, Sheen said, "I'm not recommending that anybody else does this. I'm presenting myself as some kind of a guinea pig."
Charlie Sheen was first diagnosed with HIV in 2011, but was only revealed to public in November last year. "I am here to admit I am HIV-positive," Sheen courageously disclosed on U.S. Today. "It's a hard three letters to absorb," he added.
