If you were to follow the link to the full study as published within my synopsis you would see where they say -
“The TCM treatment was well tolerated by all patients and displayed little clinical toxicity. While most medical data collected in the case series were unfortunately lost due to the bankruptcy of the company, several recovered plasma viral loads measured from 2003 to 2006 showed significant decreases and varied from patient to patient”.
So the exact formula they were using was likely lost. That said, again following the references at the bottom of the study, the first one listed links to a study that has used a combination of tcm and western herbs to treat over 26000 AIDS patients in China. More than likely contacting the authors of that study would lead you to someone who can describe some of the formulas they use. It is unlikely that any completely standard formula will work for something as complicated as HIV/AIDS - rather it would be properly tailored to each individual using only some herbs in common such as those listed in my synopsis that have shown strong immune potentials.
