Charlie Sheen blasts the doctor who claims to have cured him of HIV

Los Angeles - Charlie Sheen has slammed the doctor who claimed to have cured him of HIV, as dangerous.

The 50-year-old actor underwent a treatment involving the milk of arthritic goats in Mexico with Dr Sam Chachoua, who was so confident of success that he injected himself with Charlie's blood, but Charlie hit out at the medic's methods.

Speaking on The Dr. Oz Show, he said: "He would have stuff delivered at all hours of the night, and I was an idiot to keep taking it. It was just the BS started to really pile up with this guy. I was in Mexico probably for 32 hours. He says I was there for two months, so his math skills are equally as challenged as his science.

"I am not cured, no. Thinking back on it, his back was to me. And he might have switched the needle, but it wasn't like, here, look, bang. His back was to me.

"I am not a liar. I think what we're observing from him is an absolute grand work of fiction. I think guys like him are dangerous. I'm not going to be trading my meds for arthritic goat milk. I'm just saying."

Charlie also revealed he is now taking part in a new trial, which he calls "the next wave of the future for treatment".

He said: "I'm very excited. I know we're coming off all these other segments and talking about these are scientists and brilliant doctors and researchers, and this is a public company. There's absolute transparency. This feels like the next wave of the future for treatment."
