G - Therapy: Classical Mechanical Resonance Tool For HIV Cure
REFNo: SIR26ES

Main Objective
To design and implement an effective, safe, “isolate – and – kill” Classical Mechanical resonance tool for HIV – riddance from HIV – positive patients.

Specific Objectives
a) To outline a velocity, frequency and wavelength generating system based on scalable vibratory/circulatory dynamics pertinent with the vibratory characteristics of the HIV particles (H – 1 atom system is earmarked).
b) To identify the HIV virus by morphology (physical structure) differentiation using light optical nanoscopy – observation procedures (use flue virus for comparison).
c) To characterize the projected mechanical resonance – based fight between HIV and human defense system cells (realizable by articulating and relating factors implicated).
d) To design and implement a counter resonance tool against HIV’s own mechanical resonance combat weapon against human defense cells (achievable through determining rupture-prone resonant frequency-amplitude factors leading to an effective, safe body- penetrative capacity; as well as the functional body/specimen exposure period).

Promoting Resilience for Survivors of Trafficking: Evaluating a Yoga-Based Approach in Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: SS420ES

Healing and Resilience through Yoga (Hart Yoga) is a trauma-informed yoga program to support survivors of human trafficking in Uganda with psycho-social recovery. The
proposed study will evaluate Hart Yoga’s feasibility, acceptability and impact with women and adolescent girls residing in Willow International’s (https://www.willowinternational.org/) shelters for survivors of human trafficking in Kampala, Uganda. This study will advance the limited field of health and mental health research with survivors of human trafficking and provide pilot data for publication and the development of a subsequent effectiveness trial. The methodology will address two primary objectives:

• Objective 1: To determine Hart Yoga’s feasibility and acceptability among participants and successful delivery within a residential shelter setting.
• Objective 2: To assess physical, psychological and social outcomes among program participants using qualitative and quantitative methods.
