Charlie Sheen Travels to Mexico, Receives Alternative HIV Treatments
Charlie Sheen recently traveled to Mexico in receive an alternative form of treatment for the HIV condition he suffers from.
During a recent appearance on the Dr. Oz show, the former "Two And A Half Men" star recently shared on the Dr. Oz show that he has ceased taking his HIV drug prescriptions and is now under the care of an alternative physcian from Mexico.
"I've been off my meds for a week now," Sheen proclaimed on the show. "Am I risking my life? Sure. So what? I was born dead. That part of it doesn't phase me at all."
The 50-year-old "Wall Street" star recently confirmed to the "Today" show's Matt Lauer that he is afflicted with the virus and has been for some time now.
"I didn't see it as Russian Roulette," he said of now seeking the alternate course of treatment. "I didn't see it as a complete dismissal of the conventional course that we had been on. I'm not recommending that anybody else do this. I'm presenting myself as some kind of a guinea pig."
Word is Sheen's new doctor is so confident in his methods that he interjected himself with his star patient's blood.
"I drew some blood from him and I injected myself with it and I said, 'Charlie, if I don't know what I'm doing, then we're both in trouble now, aren't we?'" Dr. Sam Chachoua said.
The seemingly never-at-a-loss for words Sheen deemed the entire episode "mind-blowing."
Since publicly confirming his condition, Sheen has been sued by former fiancee Scottine Ross alleging that he neglected to inform her of his HIV status.
Ross filed her suit in Los Angeles Superior Court in early December and is seeking $1 million in damages and earnings from her ex's now canceled "Anger Management" TV show.
During his "Today" show appearance, Sheen told Lauer that he first learned of his condition about four years ago.
