The idea is not new: """Julius Wagner von Jauregg (1857-1940), Austrian psychiatrist and Nobel Prize winner who discovered that advanced cases of syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease (STD), can be cured by deliberately infecting the patient with malaria. Until the development of the antibiotic penicillin in the 1940s made Wagner von Jauregg`s malaria cure obsolete, he achieved remarkable success in curing patients of a dreaded disease that had been thought to be incurable. For his development of the malaria cure for syphilis, Wagner von Jauregg received the 1927 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.""" http://www.mediahex.com/Wagner_von_Jauregg_Julius http://www.mediahex.com/Wagner_von_Jauregg_Julius
