First let’s state unequivocally, “Yes, Virginia… except for some surgical requirements, e.g., hernias, or broken bones, etc., YOU CAN BE HEALTHY WITHOUT having medical insurance, or even without being able to afford to see a doctor.”
I want to say. “ALL dis-ease symptoms are caused by systemic acidic imbalances in the body”, BUT I try not to use the words “Never”, “Ever”, or “All”. As sure as I do, there will be some “exception”, which, while rare, will catch me up. I will say that the extreme “majority” of sickness and dis-ease conditions do not and cannot exist in a properly alkalinized human body. Over acidic conditions from lifestyle and dietary choice cause the symptoms, which we define as “dis-ease” states.
You will note that I hyphenate the word “disease” as “dis-ease”, because I cannot bring myself to acknowledge that “diseases” even exist. There are, in fact, “symptom syndromes”, or collections of symptoms, which when identified, are given “names” in the medical lexicon. Once a “name” is given to a Symptom Syndrome, then it gets diagnosed, and pharmaceutical companies set about to produce drugs to ameliorate the symptoms. None of these drugs addresses the underlying cause of the dis-ease symptoms.
For example, there is NO disease “out there” such as Diabetes, just waiting for us to catch it. Diabetes is a Symptom Syndrome, which is caused by systemic over acidic conditions in the body resulting from our bad lifestyle and dietary choices.
So, what do you do when you want / NEED to be healthy without the intervention of the medical / pharmaceutical complex? What can you do when you can’t afford health of dis-ease insurance?
FIRST – Begin to ‘GREEN UP YOUR DIET”!! Begin to eat more salad greens, broccoli, green beans, celery, cucumber, spinach, avocados, asparagus, etc., Get the picture… GREEN FOODS! Lots of them!
SECOND – Get the high “acid ash” foods completely out of your diet. NEVER EAT THEM! Examples are ALL carbonated beverages, ALL sugars and ALL high carbohydrate foods, especially particularly sweet fruits.
THIRD - Get ALL animal proteins out of your diet! This will be a hard point for many of you. I had a client who told he went through his pantry and got rid of everything that had “animal protein” in it, and he said, “I didn’t have ANYTHING LEFT TO EAT!!” You may have a similar experience. It is truly culture shock to realize how many products you daily rely upon, cannot be eaten by anyone who wants to avoid the doctor, and who wants to be healthy.
FOURTH – Get ALL animal, processed and trans fats and ALL Saturated Fats out of your diet. Eat only monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, such Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Hemp Oil, etc., and eat A LOT of them. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, from GREEN fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts should be a primary source of electron rich and electrically active food and drink in your diet.
FIFTH – Drink LOTS OF ALKLAIME WATER!! Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. Drink ONLY pure, filtered alkaline water. If the water in your area does not have a pH of at least 8.0 or higher, you will need to pH correct the water. You can purchase alkaline drops to add to your local filtered water. It would be wonderful if you can obtain a structured water machine, which will not only properly alkalize your water, and filter it, but will also correct it to the proper ORP (Oxidative Reduction Potential), which should ideally be in the -150 mV or greater range. If you can’t afford a machine to correct the ORP level of your filtered water, DO NOT let that keep you from doing the things you can do. Get a water filter, and filter your water. Get some alkaline drops and correct the water pH to at finished pH of 9 or 10. DRINK 1 liter of pure, filtered, alkaline adjusted water for each 50 lbs. of body weight. The degree to which you think this is a lot of water, is an indicator of how much trouble your body and health are in… water….adequate hydration is THE most critical thing you can do to improve your health. Your body should be over 70% water, and CANNOT function and be healthy without proper alkaline hydration.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-352-jupiter-orion-water-ionizer.aspx
SIXTH – Get out in the fresh air, and BREATHE. Oxygen is critical for health. Breathing deeply not only helps to maintain proper alkaline / acid relationships in the body, but also is critical for virtually every metabolic process in every tissue of the body. Don’t count on your natural breathing, reflex to get all the oxygen you need. Do at least 15 mins. of deep breathing exercises every day. Take a slow, deep breath through your nose… hold it for a count of two, and exhale slowly through your nose. Count to two, and repeat. Do this for at least 15 mins. EVERY DAY! In addition, try to get in 4 or 5 such deep breaths as often during the day as you think about it. BREATHE!!
SEVENTH – Get some alkalizing “SALT” in your diet. I don’t mean refined table salt. Start with a good sea salt. Our blood closely resembles the saline content of the oceans. YOU NEED SALT! The definition of “salt” gets a bit complicated. “Salts”, at their simplest structure, are metals which are connected by single bonds only and do not have Hydrogen atoms connected to them. Don’t get bogged down with this technical definition. I only mention it to say that the human body contains a lot of alkaline “salts” besides just table salt, i.e., Sodium (the metal) plus Chloride, NaCl. The human body critically includes a number of “salts” of several metals, e.g., Potassium, Calcium, Sodium and Magnesium, known as “electrolytes”. It is difficult to get enough of the proper relative quantities of these inter-related salts without the proper diet I have set out above.
I formulated a food additive called, pHour Salts, to help with adequate intake of the four main electrolytes. If you have access to a supply of pHour Salts, it will really help, but if you don’t – do not despair. If you don’t have access to pHour Salts, get some good sea salt or pHlavor spray mineral salts, and try to eat the darkest green foods you can obtain.
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-221-phour-salts-tm-454-grams.aspx
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-211-phlavor-2-oz-travel-bottle.aspx
EIGHTH - Monitor you own health. Get a few packages of “pH Test Strips”. Test both your urine and saliva. They are excellent indicators of the proper healthy tissue environments in your body. Each tests a different tissue environment. Check both your urine and your saliva. Check the first urine of the day and your saliva before eating anything in the morning, and then a few times during the day. If you find that your test results are below 7.0 correct immediately, either with a little pHour Salts, or eat a bit of particularly alkaline food, e.g., cucumber, broccoli, asparagus, avocado, etc.. You will quickly get the hang of what corrects your test results the best, and what doesn’t.
I like to use the acronym, C.O.W.S., which stands for CHLOROPHYLL, (OXYGEN and OIL), WATER and SALT.. The proper balance of these four elements through proper eating and dieting, will result in robust health, and WILL KEEP YOU HEALTHY without the traditional frequent visits to the doctor. Getting the proper balance of these four intakes WILL keep you healthy WHEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE.
So, if you find yourself without health insurance… the situation may truly be a blessing in disguise, IF it gets you to take control of your own health instead of contracting it out to your doctor and local hospitals. GET HEALTHY AND STAY HEALTHY! You can do it without health insurance or doctors!

Lose Weight and Prevent and/or Reverse Diabetes Eating Grapefruit
Early results from US researchers suggests that eating grapefruit really does help people lose acidic weight, and could help reduce the risk of developing the over-acidic condition known as diabetes.
The study centered on an experiment involving 100 obese people. The group who ate half a grapefruit with each meal lost an average of 3.6 lb (1.6kg) over twelve weeks, compared with a placebo group who lost an average 0.5lb (0.2kg). Some patients lost as much as 10lbs. After the meal, the "grapefruit groups" also had reduced levels of insulin, the hormone which enables the body to buffer all acids called sugar. The acid glucose levels were also lower, suggesting a more efficient sugar buffering and elimination.
From the Society of Chemical Industry: Eating Grapefruit Does Help Weight Loss, Could Prevent Diabetes
Early results from US researchers suggests that eating ruby red grapefruit really does help people lose acidic weight, and could help reduce the risk of developing the acid condition known as diabetes.
Writing in Chemistry & Industry Magazine, Marina Murphy reports on a pilot study of one hundred obese patients at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego. The group who ate half a grapefruit with each meal lost an average of 3.6 lb (1.6kg) over twelve weeks, compared with a placebo group who lost an average 0.5lb (0.2kg). Some patients lost as much as 10lbs. After the meal, the "grapefruit groups" also had reduced levels of insulin, the alkaline buffer which enables the body to neutralize the toxic effect of sugars. The acid glucose levels were also lower, suggesting a more efficient elimination of the sugar.
"This is the first study linking grapefruit with reduced insulin levels," says Ken Fujioka who led the group. The researchers say the weight loss is likely to be linked to the lower insulin level, and are considering future research to investigate whether this will be of use in diabetes prevention and treatment.
"Insulin is an alkaline buffer secreted by the pancreas that reduces all blood acids, including glucose," stated Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of the pH Miracle Living Center, in San Diego, California.
"When you reduce blood sugars and increase alkalinity in the blood and then tissues you can lose up to 1 pound a day and reduce or even eliminate insulin injections," says Dr. Young.
"Grapefruit can be one of the fruit, including avocado and cucumber that can help maintain the alkaline design of the blood and tissues and prevent All sickness and dis-ease," states Dr. Young.

Keeping The National Press Honest - VACCINES Cause Autism
The government has conceded that vaccines cause autism.
Read on as you will see we need to keep the National
Press, Pharmaceutical Companies and the Government honest!
On February 12, the federal "Vaccine Court" in Washington issued a sweeping ruling in three highly touted "test cases" against families who claimed that their childrens' autism had been caused by vaccines. The Special Masters in those three cases found that Petitioners failed to establish causation between MMR vaccines, the mercury-laced vaccine preservative thimerosal, and autism (the court decision, which is under appeal, deferred any finding on a thimerosal-only theory of causation). The rulings could have a significant precedential impact on some 5,000 families who opted to bring their cases in the Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP) hoping that the vaccine court would officially hold that the MMR vaccine or thimerosal had caused autism in their children.
The New York Times joined the government Health Agency (HRSA) and its big pharma allies hailing the decisions as proof that the scientific doubts about vaccine safety had finally been "demolished." The US Department of Health and Human services said the rulings should "help reassure parents that vaccines do not cause autism." The Times, which has made itself a blind mouthpiece for HRSA and a leading defender of vaccine safety, joined crowing government and vaccine industry flacks applauding the decisions like giddy cheerleaders, rooting for the same court that many of these same voices viscously derided just one year ago, after Hannah Poling won compensation for her vaccine induced autism.
But last week, the parents of yet another child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were awarded a lump sum of more than $810,000 (plus an estimated $30-40,000 per year for autism services and care) in compensation by the Court, which ruled that the measels-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine had caused acute brain damage that led to his autism spectrum disorder.
The family of 10-year-old Bailey Banks won their case quietly and without fanfare in June of 2007, but the ruling has only now come to public attention. In the remarkably clear and eloquent decision, Special Master Richard Abell ruled that the Banks had successfully demonstrated that "the MMR vaccine at issue actually caused the conditions from which Bailey suffered and continues to suffer."
Bailey's diagnosis is Pervasive Developmental Disorder -- Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) which has been recognized as an autism spectrum disorder by CDC, HRSA and the other federal health agencies since at least the 1990s.
In his conclusion, Special Master Abell ruled that Petitioners had proven that the MMR had directly caused a brain inflammation illness called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) which, in turn, had caused the autism spectrum disorder PDD-NOS in the child:
The Court found that Bailey's ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey's ADEM was severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental Delay, or PDD [an autism spectrum disorder]. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was... a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive Developmental Delay.
The Bailey decision is not an isolated ruling. We now know of at least two other successful ADEM cases argued in Vaccine Court. More significantly, an explosive investigation by CBS News has found that since 1988, the vaccine court has awarded money judgments, often in the millions of dollars, to thirteen hundred and twenty two families whose children suffered brain damage from vaccines. In many of these cases, the government paid out awards following a judicial finding that vaccine injury lead to the child's autism spectrum disorder. In each of these cases, the plaintiffs' attorneys made the same tactical decision made by Bailey Bank's lawyer, electing to opt out of the highly charged Omnibus Autism Proceedings and argue their autism cases in the regular vaccine court. In many other successful cases, attorneys elected to steer clear of the hot button autism issue altogether and seek recovery instead for the underlying brain damage that caused their client's autism.
Medical records associated with these proceedings clearly tell the tale. In perhaps hundreds of these cases, the children have all the classic symptoms of regressive autism; following vaccination a perfectly healthy child experiences high fever, seizures, and other illnesses, then gradually, over about three months, loses language, the ability to make eye contact, becomes "over-focused" and engages in stereotypical head banging and screaming and then suffers developmental delays characteristic of autism. Many of these children had received the autism diagnosis. Yet the radioactive word "autism" appears nowhere in the decision.
Instead the vaccine court Special Masters rest their judgments on their finding that the vaccines caused some generalized brain injury, mainly Encephalopathy/encephalitis (brain inflammation) or "seizure disorders" -- conditions known to cause autism-like symptoms. A large number of the children who have won these judgments have been separately diagnosed with autism. HRSA acknowledged this fact in a recent letter, but told us it does not keep data on how many of these children were autistic.
The Vaccine Court, in other words, seems quite willing to award millions of dollars in taxpayer funded compensation to vaccine-injured autistic children, so long as they don't have to call the injury by the loaded term "autism." That hazard is particularly acute for vaccine victims who appear before the Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP). Since that body's decisions are closely watched, published and accorded the weight of precedent, many lawyers consider the burden of proof for petitioners to be impossibly high before the OAP Panel. It was for this reason that Bailey's attorney, Mark McLaren, elected to opt out of the OAP and try his case separately, even though Bailey has been receiving autism-related services in his home state and was eligible to file a case in the Court's Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP).
McLaren told us he wanted to avoid the added burden facing petitioners under the media glare and precedential weight attending OAP panel trials. "We considered [the OAP route] because [Bailey] is on the autistic spectrum of disorders, but we thought we could try it separately and apart from the Omnibus, and not as a test case," explained McLaren. "We thought we'd have a better chance if we tried to on its own merit, away from the spotlights and the precedent setting pressures that attend these OAP test cases - and it worked."
Bob Krakow, a leading attorney for vaccine damaged children told that many lawyers are now convinced that filing a claim in the OAP is a losing proposition. "There's a growing conviction that if you have a autistic client who has also been diagnosed with encephalopathy/encephalitis or seizure disorder, you are better off not mentioning the word "autism" if you want to win the case." He recommended instead filing a non autism claim like "mental retardation with seizure disorder" for an autistic client.
Although the vaccine court is mandated to fairly serve the victims of vaccine injuries, their primary purpose and raison d'etre is to protect the vaccine program and vaccine makers. Damages are doled out from a 75-cent tax on every vaccine sold and not from the vaccine makers. "You can understand why special masters, burdened with their duty to protect vaccine programs, might be unwilling to make the direct causal link between autism and vaccines," Krakow observed. "If you ask the big question and answer it in the affirmative, there is a sense that it will damage the vaccine program irreparably."
Vaccine Court judges are equipped with a draconian armory of weapons deployable against plaintiffs intent on proving the causal connection between vaccines and autism. Jury trials are prohibited. Damages are capped; awards for pain and suffering are strictly limited and punitive damages banned altogether. Vaccine defenders have an army of Department of Justice attorneys with virtually unlimited resources for expert witnesses and other litigation costs. Plaintiffs, in contrast, must fund the up front costs for experts on their own. In a cultural choice that clearly favors defendants, vaccine court gives overwhelming weight to written medical records which are often inaccurate -- over all other forms of testimony and evidence. Observations by parents and other caretakers are given little weight.
Worst of all -- plaintiffs have no right to discovery either against the pharmaceutical industry or the government. Since autism is a behavioral affliction rather than a precisely defined biological injury -- epidemiological studies are critical to establishing its causation. But the greatest source of epidemiological data is the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) -- the government maintained medical records of hundreds of thousands of vaccinated children -- which HHS has gone to great lengths to keep out of the hands of plaintiffs' attorneys and independent scientists. Unfortunately the vaccine court has judicially anointed this corrupt concealment by consistently denying every motion by petitioners to view the VSD. The raw data collected in the VSD would undoubtedly provide the epidemiological evidence needed to understand the relationship between vaccines and autism. The absence of such studies makes it easy for judges to say to plaintiffs they have not met their burden of proving causation.
Meanwhile, CDC has actively, openly and systematically suppressed and defunded epidemiological studies that might establish a causal link. CDC has ignored repeated pleadings that it fund peer reviewed studies of unvaccinated American cohorts like the Amish and home-schooled children. At the same time the agency has worked overtime ginning up a series of fatally-flawed European studies purporting to dispute the link. Even a cursory critical examination reveals that the oft-cited Danish, English, and Italian studies are rank tobacco science. Many of them were funded by CDC, a badly compromised agency, performed by vaccine industry scientists, and published in miserably conflicted journals.
Needless to say, the existence of these phony studies, combined with the deliberate dearth of epidemiological evidence makes it easy for the special masters to dodge a politically explosive finding by holding that there is "insufficient evidence."
And, speaking of tobacco, it's worth recalling that for sixty years the tobacco industry successfully defended a product that was killing one out of every five of its customers against thousands of legal actions brought by its victims and their families. Tobacco lawyers protected the cigarette companies by arguing that there was no proven link between tobacco and lung cancer. Bob Krakow sees many parallels. Big tobacco uses the same tactic of manufacturing research that seems to dispute the connection to exploit the burdens on plaintiffs to prove causation. Big tobacco prevailed for six decades even without the help of supportive government agencies deliberately suppressing real science and research. In that sense vaccine victims must leap a much higher hurdle.
Despite the perilous odds stacked against them in vaccine court, the evidence of a vaccine/autism link is so strong that vaccine court judges and government agencies have now recognized at least two theories of how vaccines cause autism: the Vaccine-to-ADEM-to-ASD link in Bailey Banks' case, and vaccine-induced aggravation of an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction that caused full-blown autism in the Hannah Poling case. Both theories are different from those rejected in the three cases last week.
Perhaps, these new disclosures will prompt The Times, with all its influence, to actually make prudent journalistic inquiries into the phony science CDC uses to defend its claims of "vaccine safety." If it does, the paper will realize it has once again been ill used by government agencies in a tragic campaign of public deceit. The Times should make the reasonable demand that the government health agencies finally release the Vaccine Safety Datalink for independent scientific research and that CDC and HRSA lift their opposition to genuine epidemiological studies that might finally provide real scientific answers to this debate.

A NEW THEORY OF AUTISM CAUSATION?
By David Kirby
A ruling from Federal Vaccine Court -- that MMR vaccine caused an autism spectrum disorder in a young boy named Bailey Banks -- flies directly in the face of the triple-play decision against a vaccine-autism link issued by the Court on February 12.
The Special Masters in those three cases inferred that the vaccine-autism theory was the stuff of Alice in Wonderland fantasy, and virtually accused the childrens' physicians of medical malpractice. (CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta called the Court's language "snide," and we agree).
Meanwhile, the US Department of Health and Human services said the rulings should "help reassure parents that vaccines do not cause autism." But why should parents feel reassured when two out of five autism cases (40%) - that we know of - have won taxpayer-funded compensation in Vaccine Court?
The Ruling
In his decision, Special Master Abell ruled that the MMR vaccine produced a side effect in Bailey called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). ADEM is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. The disorder results in damage to the myelin sheath, a fatty coating that insulates nerve fibers in the brain. ADEM can be caused by natural infections, especially from the measles virus. But it also is a recognized post-vaccination injury, especially from vaccines for rabies, pertussis, influenza, and MMR.
Evidence presented to support an MMR-ADEM link was compelling. It included a 1994 report from the Institute of Medicine that said it was biologically plausible for a vaccine to "induce... an autoimmune response... by nonspecific activation of the T cells directed against myelin proteins."
In fact, both parties in the Banks case agreed "that the IOM has cited demonstrative evidence of a biologically plausible relation between the measles vaccine and demyelinating diseases such as ADEM," the Court wrote.
Most cases of ADEM (80%) are in children. Symptoms usually appear within a few days to a couple of weeks. They include: headache, delirium, lethargy, seizures, stiff neck, fever, ataxia (incoordination), optic nerve damage, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, irritability and changes in mental status.
I know of thousands of parents who witnessed many of these same symptoms afflict their children shortly after vaccination, most typically the MMR. Did these children with autism also suffer initially from ADEM or some subclinical version of the disorder? We may never know (physical signs like myelin damage are transitory).
Bailey Banks was given an MRI when his parents brought him to the hospital 16 days after his MMR vaccine, and that helped confirm his diagnosis. The children I know who were brought in with similar symptoms were instead given Tylenol and told to go home.
(Interestingly, Tylenol can affect production of glutathione, an essential antioxidant and detoxifier. A preliminary study from UC San Diego showed that children who were given Tylenol after their MMR vaccine were several times more likely to develop autism than other children. "Tylenol and MMR was significantly associated with autistic disorder," the authors wrote. "More research needs to be completed to confirm the results of this preliminary study.")
Is vaccine-induced ADEM (and similar disorders) a neurological gateway for a subset of children to go on and develop an ASD? That question will now become subject to debate. Thousands of parents have reported similar reactions and symptoms following vaccination, yet they lack radiological proof of ADEM or related disorders in the form of an MRI. Meanwhile, most children with autism do not present with myelin damage, but many do test positive for antibodies to myelin basic protein (MBP).
Also worth noting is that ADEM causes an inflammatory response in the brain, primarily in the microglial cells. It is also associated with abnormal cytokine levels in the brain, and with autoimmunity. Autism, meanwhile, has been linked to brain inflammation, microglial cell activation, cytokine imbalances, and autoimmunity.
In most cases, symptoms of ADEM disappear within a few weeks or so, and the disorder may be treated with IV cortisone to help reduce inflammation. But none of the children with autism that I know were ever examined or treated for a possible case of ADEM or other acute cases of encephalitis/demyelinating disorder. By now, their myelin damage may have repaired itself, yet the damaging agents, (MBP antibodies), persist.
ADEM is said to be rare, but the disorder may be grossly under-diagnosed (or misdiagnosed). Even the government's chief witness against Bailey's case testified that he sees patients with ADEM "on a fairly regular basis." What's more, Bailey's was the third successful vaccine-ADEM case argued in Vaccine Court (that we know of) so far.
Can ADEM Cause PDD/ASD?
Special Master Abell had no trouble linking MMR to ADEM in Bailey Banks' case. But linking his ADEM to PDD/ASD was more difficult.
There is no medical literature to support an ADEM-PDD link. The government's expert witness, Dr. John MacDonald, testified that "all the medical literature is negative in that regard." Instead, he proposed an alternative hypothesis for Bailey's PDD (he suggested it was caused by glucose transporter 1 deficiency).
But Special Master Abell berated the government's witness in much the same way that Hastings et al. had criticized witnesses for the families in their three cases.
"This (glucose) hypothesis, which (MacDonald) declined to incorporate as a plausible, probable theory of explanation, was used by Respondent to blunt Petitioner's theory of ADEM," Abell wrote. "This hypothesis was not given to a reasonable degree of medical probability or certainty, and Respondent's expert admitted that it was merely 'a possible, not necessarily a probable diagnosis.'"
Abell also chided MacDonald for his assertion that "all the medical literature is negative" in regards to an ADEM-PDD link. "However, soon thereafter, he corrected this statement by clarifying, 'I can find no literature relating ADEM to autism or [PDD],'" Abell wrote. "It may be that Respondent's research reveals a dearth of evidence linking ADEM to PDD, but that is not the same as positive proof that the two are unrelated, something Respondent was unable to produce. Therefore, the statement that 'all the medical literature is negative' is incorrect."
The Court also took MacDonald to task for insisting that Bailey's initial symptoms were not 100% consistent with the signs of ADEM. "His distinction seems one of degree, not of type, and strikes as a trifle semantic," Abell sniffed. He also noted that McDonald was having a hard time determining Bailey's current diagnosis. "He ultimately concluded that 'Bailey falls into the large group of children with autism/PDD in which by our current evidence-based medicine we rarely can make a specific diagnosis.'"
Special Master Abell seemed to lend more credence to witnesses for the Banks family.
Chief among them was Dr. Ivan Lopez, a neurologist and psychiatrist. Dr. Lopez testified that "the majority of patients with ADEM improve significantly," but added that "the exception to this rule is when patients have been exposed to measles, just like in the case of MMR vaccine," in which case subsequent brain damage "may occur in up to 50 percent of patients." He said such events include "mental syndromes such as PDD and others," and opined that "up to 50 percent of patients...who have had ADEM will show (PDD) as a consequence."
Dr. Lopez, a member of the US Military, gave his testimony by phone from Mobile, AL where, the next day, he was to ship out for a tour of duty in Iraq.
In his conclusion, Special Master Abell wrote:
The Court found that Bailey's ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey's ADEM was severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental Delay, or PDD. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was not too remote, but was rather a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive Developmental Delay.
And he added this:
Petitioner's theory of PDD caused by vaccine-related ADEM causally connects the vaccination and the ultimate injury, and does so by explaining a logical sequence of cause and effect showing that the vaccination was the ultimate reason for the injury.
Does Bailey Banks Have Autism?
Bailey Banks does not have "classic" or full-blown autism. But he has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which is squarely on the autism spectrum of disorders. There was quite a bit of back-and-forth on Bailey's diagnosis in the ruling, whose heading included the term "Non-autistic developmental delay." At several points in the proceedings, witnesses took great pains to say that Bailey does not have "autism" which, technical speaking, is true.
On the other hand, Special Master Abell included notations declaring that "Pervasive Developmental Delay describes a class of conditions, and it is apparent from the record that the parties and the medical records are referring to Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)."
Even so, some will argue that Bailey does not have an ASD. They are simply wrong. The diagnosis of PDD-NOS was added to the list of autism spectrum disorders in the 1980s. It was precisely from the inclusion of these "milder" cases into the total number, that the CDC came up with the estimate of 1-in-150 US children with some form of "autism/ASD."
So, if Bailey does not have ASD, then the number of "autism" cases is well below the 1-in-150 mark and needs to be revised downward (the CDC once estimated that 40% of ASD cases were "non-autistic" in the classic sense).
What's more, Bailey does not have a "mild" form of ASD -- he struggles every day with endless challenges. He receives autism services in his home state and attends a special school for children with autism. Bailey was also completely eligible to file a case in the Court's Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP), along with 5,000 other claims.
And besides, if the government chooses after-the-fact to argue that Banks simply has another form of brain damage but not, specifically "autism," is that really any comfort?
This particular theory of causation -- Vaccine-to-ADEM-to-ASD -- is different from the three cases that lost, and different than the theory in the Hannah Poling case (vaccine-induced aggravation of an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction caused full-blown autism).
So we now have two novel theories of how vaccines might contribute to ASD -- both ADEM and mitochondrial dysfunction are recognized by the Court as contributing factors.
And yet the government insists it has never made an award for vaccine induced ASD, just vaccine related ASD.
"The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines," said David Bowman, a spokesman for HHS's Health Resources and Services Administration. "We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures."
"Some children who have been compensated for vaccine injuries may have shown signs of autism before the decision to compensate," he added, "or may ultimately end up with autism or autistic symptoms, but we do not track cases on this basis.
Unfortunately, the track record on vaccines is cloudy in this particular Court: Three out of four ADEM cases have been successful; and (at least) two out of five ASD cases have also won.
People will argue that ADEM is rare; that vaccines "only" caused PDD in Bailey; and that this was a legal and not scientific decision. The problem is we don't know how prevalent ADEM is because we never looked; while "PDD" is interchangeable with "ASD" in the language of public health. And, the three cases that lost were also "legal" decisions.
Robert Kennedy, Jr. and I would love nothing more than to reassure parents that the nation's current vaccine program is 100% safe for all kids, and that zero credible evidence has been presented to link vaccines with autism. But that simply isn't true -- as at least two court cases have found.

Government Again Concedes Vaccines Cause Autism
Mysterious Vaccine Court created in 1986 by the pharmaceutical industry, with the support of Congress, rules in favor of Bailey Banks against HHS.
Los Angeles - February 24, 2009 - Generation Rescue, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey's Los Angeles-based non-profit autism organization, today announced that the United States Government has once again conceded that vaccines cause autism. The announcement comes on the heels of the recently unsealed court case of Bailey Banks vs. HHS. The ruling states, "The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine...a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to PDD [Autism]."
In a curious and hypocritical method of operation, the mysterious Vaccine Court not only protects vaccine makers from liability but supports a policy that has tripled the number of vaccines given to U.S. children - all after being made aware of the fact that these vaccines do, in fact, cause autism and repeatedly ruling in favor of families with children hurt by their vaccines.
"It was heartbreaking to hear about Bailey's story, but through this ruling we are gaining the proof we need to open the eyes of the world to the fact that vaccines do, in fact, cause autism," said Jenny McCarthy, Hollywood actress, autism activist, best-selling author and Generation Rescue board member. "Bailey Banks' regression into autism after vaccination is the same story I went through with my own son and the same story I have heard from thousands of mothers and fathers around the country. Our hope is that this ruling will influence decision and policy-makers to help the hundreds of thousands of children and families affected by this terrible condition."
Banks vs. HHS is the second known case where the Vaccine Court could not deny the overwhelming evidence showing vaccines caused a child's autism. The first was the case of Hannah Poling in March of 2008, where the court found in her favor and awarded her family compensation.
Jim Carrey, Hollywood legend and Generation Rescue board member, reacted to the news, "It seems the U.S. government is sending mixed messages by telling the world that vaccines don't cause autism, while, at the same time, they are quietly managing a separate 'vaccine court' that is ruling in favor of affected families and finding that vaccines, in fact, were the cause. For most of the autism community the question is no longer whether vaccines caused of their child's autism. The question is why is their government only promoting the rulings that are in favor of the vaccine companies."
Why is a secret court, which no one knows about or understands, quietly paying these families for vaccine injuries and autism? Deirdre Imus, Generation Rescue board member and founder of the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology says, "Over the past 20 years, the vaccine court has dispensed close to $2 billion in compensation to families whose children were injured or killed by a vaccine. I am not against vaccines and my own child has been vaccinated. But, I share the growing concerns of many parents questioning the number of vaccines given to children today, some of the toxic ingredients in vaccines, and whether we know enough about the combination risks associated with the multiple vaccines given to children during critical developmental windows."
To help spread the word of the Banks ruling, Generation Rescue also bought a full-page ad that will run in the USA Today on 02/25/2009, which has a daily circulation of 2,272,815.

Sick and Tired, "A Second Thought About Vaccines."

Read on as you will see we need to keep the National
Press, Pharmaceutical Companies and the Government honest!
On February 12, the federal "Vaccine Court" in Washington issued a sweeping ruling in three highly touted "test cases" against families who claimed that their childrens' autism had been caused by vaccines. The Special Masters in those three cases found that Petitioners failed to establish causation between MMR vaccines, the mercury-laced vaccine preservative thimerosal, and autism (the court decision, which is under appeal, deferred any finding on a thimerosal-only theory of causation). The rulings could have a significant precedential impact on some 5,000 families who opted to bring their cases in the Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP) hoping that the vaccine court would officially hold that the MMR vaccine or thimerosal had caused autism in their children.
The New York Times joined the government Health Agency (HRSA) and its big pharma allies hailing the decisions as proof that the scientific doubts about vaccine safety had finally been "demolished." The US Department of Health and Human services said the rulings should "help reassure parents that vaccines do not cause autism." The Times, which has made itself a blind mouthpiece for HRSA and a leading defender of vaccine safety, joined crowing government and vaccine industry flacks applauding the decisions like giddy cheerleaders, rooting for the same court that many of these same voices viscously derided just one year ago, after Hannah Poling won compensation for her vaccine induced autism.
But last week, the parents of yet another child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were awarded a lump sum of more than $810,000 (plus an estimated $30-40,000 per year for autism services and care) in compensation by the Court, which ruled that the measels-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine had caused acute brain damage that led to his autism spectrum disorder.
The family of 10-year-old Bailey Banks won their case quietly and without fanfare in June of 2007, but the ruling has only now come to public attention. In the remarkably clear and eloquent decision, Special Master Richard Abell ruled that the Banks had successfully demonstrated that "the MMR vaccine at issue actually caused the conditions from which Bailey suffered and continues to suffer."
Bailey's diagnosis is Pervasive Developmental Disorder -- Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) which has been recognized as an autism spectrum disorder by CDC, HRSA and the other federal health agencies since at least the 1990s.
In his conclusion, Special Master Abell ruled that Petitioners had proven that the MMR had directly caused a brain inflammation illness called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) which, in turn, had caused the autism spectrum disorder PDD-NOS in the child:
The Court found that Bailey's ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey's ADEM was severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental Delay, or PDD [an autism spectrum disorder]. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was... a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive Developmental Delay.
The Bailey decision is not an isolated ruling. We now know of at least two other successful ADEM cases argued in Vaccine Court. More significantly, an explosive investigation by CBS News has found that since 1988, the vaccine court has awarded money judgments, often in the millions of dollars, to thirteen hundred and twenty two families whose children suffered brain damage from vaccines. In many of these cases, the government paid out awards following a judicial finding that vaccine injury lead to the child's autism spectrum disorder. In each of these cases, the plaintiffs' attorneys made the same tactical decision made by Bailey Bank's lawyer, electing to opt out of the highly charged Omnibus Autism Proceedings and argue their autism cases in the regular vaccine court. In many other successful cases, attorneys elected to steer clear of the hot button autism issue altogether and seek recovery instead for the underlying brain damage that caused their client's autism.
Medical records associated with these proceedings clearly tell the tale. In perhaps hundreds of these cases, the children have all the classic symptoms of regressive autism; following vaccination a perfectly healthy child experiences high fever, seizures, and other illnesses, then gradually, over about three months, loses language, the ability to make eye contact, becomes "over-focused" and engages in stereotypical head banging and screaming and then suffers developmental delays characteristic of autism. Many of these children had received the autism diagnosis. Yet the radioactive word "autism" appears nowhere in the decision.
Instead the vaccine court Special Masters rest their judgments on their finding that the vaccines caused some generalized brain injury, mainly Encephalopathy/encephalitis (brain inflammation) or "seizure disorders" -- conditions known to cause autism-like symptoms. A large number of the children who have won these judgments have been separately diagnosed with autism. HRSA acknowledged this fact in a recent letter, but told us it does not keep data on how many of these children were autistic.
The Vaccine Court, in other words, seems quite willing to award millions of dollars in taxpayer funded compensation to vaccine-injured autistic children, so long as they don't have to call the injury by the loaded term "autism." That hazard is particularly acute for vaccine victims who appear before the Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP). Since that body's decisions are closely watched, published and accorded the weight of precedent, many lawyers consider the burden of proof for petitioners to be impossibly high before the OAP Panel. It was for this reason that Bailey's attorney, Mark McLaren, elected to opt out of the OAP and try his case separately, even though Bailey has been receiving autism-related services in his home state and was eligible to file a case in the Court's Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP).
McLaren told us he wanted to avoid the added burden facing petitioners under the media glare and precedential weight attending OAP panel trials. "We considered [the OAP route] because [Bailey] is on the autistic spectrum of disorders, but we thought we could try it separately and apart from the Omnibus, and not as a test case," explained McLaren. "We thought we'd have a better chance if we tried to on its own merit, away from the spotlights and the precedent setting pressures that attend these OAP test cases - and it worked."
Bob Krakow, a leading attorney for vaccine damaged children told that many lawyers are now convinced that filing a claim in the OAP is a losing proposition. "There's a growing conviction that if you have a autistic client who has also been diagnosed with encephalopathy/encephalitis or seizure disorder, you are better off not mentioning the word "autism" if you want to win the case." He recommended instead filing a non autism claim like "mental retardation with seizure disorder" for an autistic client.
Although the vaccine court is mandated to fairly serve the victims of vaccine injuries, their primary purpose and raison d'etre is to protect the vaccine program and vaccine makers. Damages are doled out from a 75-cent tax on every vaccine sold and not from the vaccine makers. "You can understand why special masters, burdened with their duty to protect vaccine programs, might be unwilling to make the direct causal link between autism and vaccines," Krakow observed. "If you ask the big question and answer it in the affirmative, there is a sense that it will damage the vaccine program irreparably."
Vaccine Court judges are equipped with a draconian armory of weapons deployable against plaintiffs intent on proving the causal connection between vaccines and autism. Jury trials are prohibited. Damages are capped; awards for pain and suffering are strictly limited and punitive damages banned altogether. Vaccine defenders have an army of Department of Justice attorneys with virtually unlimited resources for expert witnesses and other litigation costs. Plaintiffs, in contrast, must fund the up front costs for experts on their own. In a cultural choice that clearly favors defendants, vaccine court gives overwhelming weight to written medical records which are often inaccurate -- over all other forms of testimony and evidence. Observations by parents and other caretakers are given little weight.
Worst of all -- plaintiffs have no right to discovery either against the pharmaceutical industry or the government. Since autism is a behavioral affliction rather than a precisely defined biological injury -- epidemiological studies are critical to establishing its causation. But the greatest source of epidemiological data is the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) -- the government maintained medical records of hundreds of thousands of vaccinated children -- which HHS has gone to great lengths to keep out of the hands of plaintiffs' attorneys and independent scientists. Unfortunately the vaccine court has judicially anointed this corrupt concealment by consistently denying every motion by petitioners to view the VSD. The raw data collected in the VSD would undoubtedly provide the epidemiological evidence needed to understand the relationship between vaccines and autism. The absence of such studies makes it easy for judges to say to plaintiffs they have not met their burden of proving causation.
Meanwhile, CDC has actively, openly and systematically suppressed and defunded epidemiological studies that might establish a causal link. CDC has ignored repeated pleadings that it fund peer reviewed studies of unvaccinated American cohorts like the Amish and home-schooled children. At the same time the agency has worked overtime ginning up a series of fatally-flawed European studies purporting to dispute the link. Even a cursory critical examination reveals that the oft-cited Danish, English, and Italian studies are rank tobacco science. Many of them were funded by CDC, a badly compromised agency, performed by vaccine industry scientists, and published in miserably conflicted journals.
Needless to say, the existence of these phony studies, combined with the deliberate dearth of epidemiological evidence makes it easy for the special masters to dodge a politically explosive finding by holding that there is "insufficient evidence."
And, speaking of tobacco, it's worth recalling that for sixty years the tobacco industry successfully defended a product that was killing one out of every five of its customers against thousands of legal actions brought by its victims and their families. Tobacco lawyers protected the cigarette companies by arguing that there was no proven link between tobacco and lung cancer. Bob Krakow sees many parallels. Big tobacco uses the same tactic of manufacturing research that seems to dispute the connection to exploit the burdens on plaintiffs to prove causation. Big tobacco prevailed for six decades even without the help of supportive government agencies deliberately suppressing real science and research. In that sense vaccine victims must leap a much higher hurdle.
Despite the perilous odds stacked against them in vaccine court, the evidence of a vaccine/autism link is so strong that vaccine court judges and government agencies have now recognized at least two theories of how vaccines cause autism: the Vaccine-to-ADEM-to-ASD link in Bailey Banks' case, and vaccine-induced aggravation of an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction that caused full-blown autism in the Hannah Poling case. Both theories are different from those rejected in the three cases last week.
Perhaps, these new disclosures will prompt The Times, with all its influence, to actually make prudent journalistic inquiries into the phony science CDC uses to defend its claims of "vaccine safety." If it does, the paper will realize it has once again been ill used by government agencies in a tragic campaign of public deceit. The Times should make the reasonable demand that the government health agencies finally release the Vaccine Safety Datalink for independent scientific research and that CDC and HRSA lift their opposition to genuine epidemiological studies that might finally provide real scientific answers to this debate.

A NEW THEORY OF AUTISM CAUSATION?
By David Kirby
A ruling from Federal Vaccine Court -- that MMR vaccine caused an autism spectrum disorder in a young boy named Bailey Banks -- flies directly in the face of the triple-play decision against a vaccine-autism link issued by the Court on February 12.
The Special Masters in those three cases inferred that the vaccine-autism theory was the stuff of Alice in Wonderland fantasy, and virtually accused the childrens' physicians of medical malpractice. (CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta called the Court's language "snide," and we agree).
Meanwhile, the US Department of Health and Human services said the rulings should "help reassure parents that vaccines do not cause autism." But why should parents feel reassured when two out of five autism cases (40%) - that we know of - have won taxpayer-funded compensation in Vaccine Court?
The Ruling
In his decision, Special Master Abell ruled that the MMR vaccine produced a side effect in Bailey called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). ADEM is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. The disorder results in damage to the myelin sheath, a fatty coating that insulates nerve fibers in the brain. ADEM can be caused by natural infections, especially from the measles virus. But it also is a recognized post-vaccination injury, especially from vaccines for rabies, pertussis, influenza, and MMR.
Evidence presented to support an MMR-ADEM link was compelling. It included a 1994 report from the Institute of Medicine that said it was biologically plausible for a vaccine to "induce... an autoimmune response... by nonspecific activation of the T cells directed against myelin proteins."
In fact, both parties in the Banks case agreed "that the IOM has cited demonstrative evidence of a biologically plausible relation between the measles vaccine and demyelinating diseases such as ADEM," the Court wrote.
Most cases of ADEM (80%) are in children. Symptoms usually appear within a few days to a couple of weeks. They include: headache, delirium, lethargy, seizures, stiff neck, fever, ataxia (incoordination), optic nerve damage, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, irritability and changes in mental status.
I know of thousands of parents who witnessed many of these same symptoms afflict their children shortly after vaccination, most typically the MMR. Did these children with autism also suffer initially from ADEM or some subclinical version of the disorder? We may never know (physical signs like myelin damage are transitory).
Bailey Banks was given an MRI when his parents brought him to the hospital 16 days after his MMR vaccine, and that helped confirm his diagnosis. The children I know who were brought in with similar symptoms were instead given Tylenol and told to go home.
(Interestingly, Tylenol can affect production of glutathione, an essential antioxidant and detoxifier. A preliminary study from UC San Diego showed that children who were given Tylenol after their MMR vaccine were several times more likely to develop autism than other children. "Tylenol and MMR was significantly associated with autistic disorder," the authors wrote. "More research needs to be completed to confirm the results of this preliminary study.")
Is vaccine-induced ADEM (and similar disorders) a neurological gateway for a subset of children to go on and develop an ASD? That question will now become subject to debate. Thousands of parents have reported similar reactions and symptoms following vaccination, yet they lack radiological proof of ADEM or related disorders in the form of an MRI. Meanwhile, most children with autism do not present with myelin damage, but many do test positive for antibodies to myelin basic protein (MBP).
Also worth noting is that ADEM causes an inflammatory response in the brain, primarily in the microglial cells. It is also associated with abnormal cytokine levels in the brain, and with autoimmunity. Autism, meanwhile, has been linked to brain inflammation, microglial cell activation, cytokine imbalances, and autoimmunity.
In most cases, symptoms of ADEM disappear within a few weeks or so, and the disorder may be treated with IV cortisone to help reduce inflammation. But none of the children with autism that I know were ever examined or treated for a possible case of ADEM or other acute cases of encephalitis/demyelinating disorder. By now, their myelin damage may have repaired itself, yet the damaging agents, (MBP antibodies), persist.
ADEM is said to be rare, but the disorder may be grossly under-diagnosed (or misdiagnosed). Even the government's chief witness against Bailey's case testified that he sees patients with ADEM "on a fairly regular basis." What's more, Bailey's was the third successful vaccine-ADEM case argued in Vaccine Court (that we know of) so far.
Can ADEM Cause PDD/ASD?
Special Master Abell had no trouble linking MMR to ADEM in Bailey Banks' case. But linking his ADEM to PDD/ASD was more difficult.
There is no medical literature to support an ADEM-PDD link. The government's expert witness, Dr. John MacDonald, testified that "all the medical literature is negative in that regard." Instead, he proposed an alternative hypothesis for Bailey's PDD (he suggested it was caused by glucose transporter 1 deficiency).
But Special Master Abell berated the government's witness in much the same way that Hastings et al. had criticized witnesses for the families in their three cases.
"This (glucose) hypothesis, which (MacDonald) declined to incorporate as a plausible, probable theory of explanation, was used by Respondent to blunt Petitioner's theory of ADEM," Abell wrote. "This hypothesis was not given to a reasonable degree of medical probability or certainty, and Respondent's expert admitted that it was merely 'a possible, not necessarily a probable diagnosis.'"
Abell also chided MacDonald for his assertion that "all the medical literature is negative" in regards to an ADEM-PDD link. "However, soon thereafter, he corrected this statement by clarifying, 'I can find no literature relating ADEM to autism or [PDD],'" Abell wrote. "It may be that Respondent's research reveals a dearth of evidence linking ADEM to PDD, but that is not the same as positive proof that the two are unrelated, something Respondent was unable to produce. Therefore, the statement that 'all the medical literature is negative' is incorrect."
The Court also took MacDonald to task for insisting that Bailey's initial symptoms were not 100% consistent with the signs of ADEM. "His distinction seems one of degree, not of type, and strikes as a trifle semantic," Abell sniffed. He also noted that McDonald was having a hard time determining Bailey's current diagnosis. "He ultimately concluded that 'Bailey falls into the large group of children with autism/PDD in which by our current evidence-based medicine we rarely can make a specific diagnosis.'"
Special Master Abell seemed to lend more credence to witnesses for the Banks family.
Chief among them was Dr. Ivan Lopez, a neurologist and psychiatrist. Dr. Lopez testified that "the majority of patients with ADEM improve significantly," but added that "the exception to this rule is when patients have been exposed to measles, just like in the case of MMR vaccine," in which case subsequent brain damage "may occur in up to 50 percent of patients." He said such events include "mental syndromes such as PDD and others," and opined that "up to 50 percent of patients...who have had ADEM will show (PDD) as a consequence."
Dr. Lopez, a member of the US Military, gave his testimony by phone from Mobile, AL where, the next day, he was to ship out for a tour of duty in Iraq.
In his conclusion, Special Master Abell wrote:
The Court found that Bailey's ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey's ADEM was severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental Delay, or PDD. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was not too remote, but was rather a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive Developmental Delay.
And he added this:
Petitioner's theory of PDD caused by vaccine-related ADEM causally connects the vaccination and the ultimate injury, and does so by explaining a logical sequence of cause and effect showing that the vaccination was the ultimate reason for the injury.
Does Bailey Banks Have Autism?
Bailey Banks does not have "classic" or full-blown autism. But he has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which is squarely on the autism spectrum of disorders. There was quite a bit of back-and-forth on Bailey's diagnosis in the ruling, whose heading included the term "Non-autistic developmental delay." At several points in the proceedings, witnesses took great pains to say that Bailey does not have "autism" which, technical speaking, is true.
On the other hand, Special Master Abell included notations declaring that "Pervasive Developmental Delay describes a class of conditions, and it is apparent from the record that the parties and the medical records are referring to Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)."
Even so, some will argue that Bailey does not have an ASD. They are simply wrong. The diagnosis of PDD-NOS was added to the list of autism spectrum disorders in the 1980s. It was precisely from the inclusion of these "milder" cases into the total number, that the CDC came up with the estimate of 1-in-150 US children with some form of "autism/ASD."
So, if Bailey does not have ASD, then the number of "autism" cases is well below the 1-in-150 mark and needs to be revised downward (the CDC once estimated that 40% of ASD cases were "non-autistic" in the classic sense).
What's more, Bailey does not have a "mild" form of ASD -- he struggles every day with endless challenges. He receives autism services in his home state and attends a special school for children with autism. Bailey was also completely eligible to file a case in the Court's Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP), along with 5,000 other claims.
And besides, if the government chooses after-the-fact to argue that Banks simply has another form of brain damage but not, specifically "autism," is that really any comfort?
This particular theory of causation -- Vaccine-to-ADEM-to-ASD -- is different from the three cases that lost, and different than the theory in the Hannah Poling case (vaccine-induced aggravation of an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction caused full-blown autism).
So we now have two novel theories of how vaccines might contribute to ASD -- both ADEM and mitochondrial dysfunction are recognized by the Court as contributing factors.
And yet the government insists it has never made an award for vaccine induced ASD, just vaccine related ASD.
"The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually caused by vaccines," said David Bowman, a spokesman for HHS's Health Resources and Services Administration. "We have compensated cases in which children exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures."
"Some children who have been compensated for vaccine injuries may have shown signs of autism before the decision to compensate," he added, "or may ultimately end up with autism or autistic symptoms, but we do not track cases on this basis.
Unfortunately, the track record on vaccines is cloudy in this particular Court: Three out of four ADEM cases have been successful; and (at least) two out of five ASD cases have also won.
People will argue that ADEM is rare; that vaccines "only" caused PDD in Bailey; and that this was a legal and not scientific decision. The problem is we don't know how prevalent ADEM is because we never looked; while "PDD" is interchangeable with "ASD" in the language of public health. And, the three cases that lost were also "legal" decisions.
Robert Kennedy, Jr. and I would love nothing more than to reassure parents that the nation's current vaccine program is 100% safe for all kids, and that zero credible evidence has been presented to link vaccines with autism. But that simply isn't true -- as at least two court cases have found.

Deirdre Imus, Generation Rescue board member and founder of the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology says, "Over the past 20 years, the vaccine court has dispensed close to $2 billion in compensation to families whose children were injured or killed by a vaccine. I am not against vaccines and my own child has been vaccinated. But, I share the growing concerns of many parents questioning the number of vaccines given to children today, some of the toxic ingredients in vaccines, and whether we know enough about the combination risks associated with the multiple vaccines given to children during critical developmental windows."
To help spread the word of the Banks ruling, Generation Rescue also bought a full-page ad that will run in the USA Today on 02/25/2009, which has a daily circulation of 2,272,815.
Generation Rescue seeks to answer these questions and many more on a daily basis as they fight for the truth and to recover children with autism around the world. To learn more please visit www.generationrescue.org, write to media@generationrescue.com

A Healthy Lymphatic System In Preventing and Reversing Dis-Ese
Alex Ortner, of Simply Raw did a
follow up interview with
Shelley Young, Dr. Robert Young's
wife, yesterday that I think you'll
want to listen to.
She talks a lot about something that
I think is critical to understand,
the lymphatic system. This system
removes toxins from our body everyday.
She told me about a type of yoga
that is really effective in getting
the system going and removing toxins.
Very cool!
She also gave some really great tips
for transitioning to a more alkaline
diet such as what to eat for breakfast,
and how to get past emotional challenges
and she even discussed how her own
family made the shift years ago.
You can listen to the audio or
download it to your computer from this

Make sure to listen to the whole thing
because she tells a really great story
near the end of two Type I diabetic
children that have recently reversed
their Type I diabetes that is so
inspiring! :)

No More Back Pain or Stiffness
The following is an unsolicited pH Miracle testimony:
Hi! Dr. Young,
I had mentioned starting the pHour salts specifically because I had felt from reading your information, that it would help an extremely horrible lower back of the neck sickening pain that I awoke with every day. It started happening months ago. I was told by a chiropractor that it was arthritis.
I took the pHour salts just before going to bed, and in the morning, I did not have the pain, stiffness and soreness in that area.
I've been using it every night and awake less and less stiff every day in other parts of my body. Getting rid of the soreness and stiffness really is a pH miracle! I just gave it to my father and he wants to buy some now.
Thanks Dr. Young for all your work and interest in communicating your findings.

Prevent or Reverse Cancer With Broccoli
While it has been known for some time that eating cruciferous
vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, can help prevent breast cancer, the mechanism by which the active substances in these vegetables inhibit cell proliferation was unknown -- until now.
Scientists in the UC Santa Barbara laboratories of Leslie Wilson,
professor of biochemistry and pharmacology, and Mary Ann Jordan, adjunct professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, have shown how the healing power of these vegetables works at the cellular level. Their research is published in last month's journal Carcinogenesis.
"Breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women, can be protected against by eating cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and near relatives of cabbage such as broccoli and cauliflower," said first author Olga Azarenko, who is a graduate student at UCSB. "These vegetables contain compounds called isothiocyanates which we believe to be responsible for the cancer-preventive and anti-carcinogenic activities in these vegetables. Broccoli and broccoli sprouts have the highest amount of the isothiocyanates.
"Our paper focuses on the anti-cancer activity of one of these
compounds, called sulforaphane, or SFN," Azarenko added. "It has already been shown to reduce the incidence and rate of chemically induced mammary tumors in animals. It inhibits the growth of cultured human breast cancer cells, leading to cell death."
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Center, "one of the alkalizing isothicyanate compounds, called sulforaphane reduces environmental, dietary and metabolic acid in the extracellular fluids and in turn reduces tissue acidosis which in turn prevents and/or reverses a cancerous condition, even in the breasts of women or the prostate of
men."
To increase your diet of green vegetables may I suggest Doc Broc Power Plants which includes organic concentrations of broccoli and broccoli sprouts.

The Scientific Nonsense of Dr. Gabe Mirkin
Many of you have written to me concerning an article
written by Gabe Mirkin entitled, "Acid/Alkaline
Theory of Disease Is Nonsense." Actually, Dr.
Mirkin has chimed in with his two cents worth
on any number of occasions, each time being
approximately incorrect as every other time.
It is quite amazing that the allopathic community
still does not understand some of the most
fundamental activities of the human body including
eating, drinking, digestion and most important
pH fluid balancing.
The following are a few of the major statements
made by Gabe Mirkin in one of his most recent
articles and my subsequent comments about what
he is saying.
=============================================
Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is Nonsense
by Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
Dr. Gabe states, "Have you seen advertisements
for products such as coral calcium or alkaline
water that are supposed to neutralize acid in
your bloodstream? Taking calcium or drinking
alkaline water does not affect blood acidity.
Anyone who tells you that certain foods or
supplements make your stomach or blood acidic
does not understand nutrition."
The truth is that taking alkaline supplements
or drinking alkaline water will first buffer
the dietary acids in the stomach before buffering
the metabolic acids of the blood and tissues.
This is a good thing since the ideal pH of the
stomach should be over 7.2 to do its work properly.
Current medical savants are simply incorrect when
they state that the ideal pH of the stomach is in
the 1.5 to 3.0 range. Further, any residual
alkalinity that makes it into the blood stream
will be thrown out into the interstitial fluids
to buffer metabolic acids.
Dr. Gabe also states that, "vinegar is acidic
and is used as a digestive enzyme. Protease,
lipase and amylase are all acidic enzymes
that break down proteins in the stomach and
make the over-all pH of the stomach more acidic.
Most all supplements that help with digestion
are acidic and will lower the pH of the stomach."
Wrong again, Dr. Merkin. When we ingest acidic
digestive enzymes, we force the cover cells of
the stomach to begin producing sodium bicarbonate
to buffer the acidic protease, lipase and amylase.
In order for the stomach to produce sodium bicarbonate
to buffer acidic supplements, food or drink, it must
pull sodium, chloride, water and carbon dioxide
from the blood. This can cause sodium and chloride
deficiencies of the blood leading to enervation.
Also, for every molecule of sodium bicarbonate
produced by the stomach, an acidic waste product of
hydrochloric acid is produced which is taken up
into the blood through the gastric pits causing
an acidification of the blood and then tissues.
The blood cannot withstand the slightest decrease
in alkalinity and so the hydrochloric acid is taken
up by the connective tissues and the fatty tissues
leading to latent tissue acidosis and the cause
of all sickness and dis-ease.
Various parts of the body may also give up calcium,
magnesium and potassium ions into the blood in order
to help buffer the excess acids from the stomach.
When these important alkaline minerals are given up,
especially on a consistent basis, this can then
cause bone, muscle and other tissue to diminish or
begin to degenerate due to the loss of these
alkalizing ions. This is the cause of tissue
wasting in what we refer to as degenerative dis-ease.
The secondary effects of taking acidic digestive
enzymes and/or eating acidic food or drink is the
damage to the delicate intestinal villi of the small
intestine. When this happens, the body cannot produce
healthy stem cells, erythroblasts and then erythrocytes.
This leads to blood disorders and then tissue disorders.
Without a healthy, small intestine, it is impossible
to make healthy blood, and without healthy blood,
it is impossible to make healthy body cells that
make up body organs.
Dr. Gabe also states, "your stomach is so acidic
that no food or drink can change its acidity.
Citrus fruits, vinegar, and vitamins such as
ascorbic acid or folic acid do not change the
acidity of your stomach or your bloodstream. An
entire bottle of calcium pills or antacids would
not change the acidity of your stomach for more
than a few minutes."
This is just wrong. This is where Dr. Gabe Mirkin
does not understand or has perhaps never been aware
that the stomach lining secretes an equal amount of
sodium bicarbonate into the stomach in order to
alkalize the food, drink and supplements that we eat
with a toxic acidic waste product of hydrochloric
acid which is taken up by the blood to be eliminated.
When the body does not have enough sodium bicarbonate
to alkalize food, the hydrochloric acid that is then
produced will fall into the gastric pits of the
stomach. Ideally, it would NEVER come into contact
with the food as the sodium bicarbonate rises to the
front or comes to the fore in order to alkalize the
food or liquids ingested. The equation is:
NaCl + H20 + C02 <=> NaHC03 + HCL. The stomach
begins producing and releasing sodium bicarbonate
(an alkalizing compound) immediately when you put
food or drink into your mouth. You can test the
saliva after eating or drinking an acid food and
you will find that in a healthy person, the pH of
the saliva goes up to a pH of 8 or even greater.
When you put something into your mouth, the
salivary glands immediately begin secreting sodium
bicarbonate to increase the pH. This does not
happen when you eat or drink an alkaline food or
drink.
Another simple experiment will show you that when
you combine sodium bicarbonate with hydrochloric
acid in a flask, the hydrochloric acid will fall
to the bottom of the flask as the sodium bicarbonate
will rise to the top. This is what happens in the
stomach. The sodium bicarbonate made from the cover
cells of the stomach rises to the front to meet
the food or liquids ingested as the hydrochloric
acid falls into the gastric pits of the stomach
away from the food or drink ingested. The primary
purpose of sodium bicarbonate rising to the
forefront is to alkalize the food, not digest
or acidify the food. The stomach is an organ of
contribution NOT digestion. Its main contribution
is to manufacture sodium bicarbonate designed by
Mother Nature to alkalize the food and liquids
we ingest.
Dr. Gabe then states, "all foods that leave your
stomach are acidic."
This statement is not categorically true as stated
by Dr. Gabe. And ideally, it would never be true.
It would depend on how acid or alkaline the food is
that you are dealing with and how healthy the body
is. All food coming out of the stomach should be
alkaline in preparation to be received by the small
intestine at a pH of 8.2 to 8.4. If the food that
comes out of the stomach into the duodenum is less
than a pH of 8, then a healthy pancreas and gallbladder
will secrete additional sodium bicarbonate in order
to bring up the pH of the liquid food to an 8.2 to
8.4 pH. The secretion of sodium bicarbonate is only
possible if the foundational elements of sodium,
chloride, carbon dioxide and water are available
from the blood. The stomach is the major organ for
producing the alkaline sodium bicarbonate and is
responsible for alkalizing and not digesting the
food and liquids that we ingest.
Dr. Gabe also states, "the food enters your
intestines where secretions from your pancreas
neutralize the stomach acids. So no matter what
you eat, the food in stomach is acidic and the
food in the intestines is alkaline."
I would like you to understand that the pancreas
and the gallbladder are only second in line or
back-up glands to bring up the pH of the food or
liquids ingested to the ideal 8.2 to 8.4 by
secreting sodium bicarbonate. The alkalizing
of our food and drink is very important in order
that the liquefied food can be transformed into
new stem cells in the crypts of the small
intestine or the root system of the body for
making new blood. If the liquid food is too
acidic, it will harm and even destroy the
intestinal villi. This will lead to many if
not all sickness and dis-ease including all
blood disorders.
Dr. Gabe then states, "You cannot change the
acidity of any part of your body except your
urine. Your bloodstream and organs control
acidity in a very narrow range. Anything that
changes acidity in your body would make you
very sick and could even kill you. Promoters
of these products claim that cancer cells
cannot live in an alkaline environment and
that is true, but neither can any of the other
cells in your body.
First of all, there is no such thing as a cancer
cell. There are only cells which have become
cancerous. Cancerous cells-originally healthy
cells-have been spoiled with dietary and/or
metabolic acids. When you increase your
alkalinity by simply using sodium bicarbonate,
not only does your urine pH go up above 8, but
your tears, sweat and saliva will also go up.
Our bodies are alkaline by design and acidic
by function. Any food or drink that we ingest
that will maintain that alkaline design will
also preserve the body from aging and will
keep it healthy, energetic and youthful.
Our body cells love alkalinity just like the
ocean fish that swim in a pH of 8.3. My clinical
microscopy and analysis over a 30 year period
of research tells us that body cells thrive in
mild, moderate and high pH fluids ranging from
7.3 to 11 pH. Body cells do not tolerate even a
mild acid state. In fact cancerous cells thrive
in a pH of 5.5.
Dr. Merkin goes on to state that "all chemical
reactions in your body are started by chemicals
called enzymes. For example, if you convert
chemical A to chemical B and release energy,
enzymes must start these reactions. All
enzymes function in a very narrow range of
acidity. (The degree of acidity or alkalinity
is expressed as "pH."). If your blood changes
its acidity or alkalinity for any reason, it
is quickly changed back to the normal pH or
these enzymes would not function and the
necessary chemical reactions would not proceed
in your body.
It is amazing to me how so many functions
of the body are still not properly understood
by so-called modern medicine medical practice
that is still actually resting on the wrong
foundational germ theory of Louis Pasteur. First
of all, the body runs on electrons not enzymes.
The enzymes of the body are the exhaust or
the acidic waste products of energy consumption.
We no more need enzymes to run our body then a
car needs carbon monoxide to run. They are both
acidic waste products of metabolism or energy
consumption that need to be eliminated as quickly
as possible through their exhaust systems. For the
human body, acids would be eliminated through
urination, perspiration, defecation or respiration."
Dr. Gabe states, "When you hold your breath,
carbon dioxide accumulates in your bloodstream
very rapidly and your blood turns acidic, and
you will become uncomfortable or even pass out.
This forces you to start breathing again immediately,
and the pH returns to normal. If your kidneys are
damaged and cannot regulate the acidity of your
bloodstream, chemical reactions stop, poisons
accumulate in your bloodstream, and you can die."
Here Dr. Gabe is talking out of both sides of his
mouth. He is right that when you hold your breath
and if the blood cannot purify itself from the
acidity, then you would die. But, this is the
same thing that happens when you over-indulge
in acidic lifestyles and diets. This is the
same thing that happens when the body cannot
eliminate its acidic waste products fast enough
through its elimination systems and organs. So,
dietary and/or metabolic acids that are not
eliminated are thrown out into the blood and
then into the connective tissues and fatty tissues
leading to latent tissue acidosis the only cause
of dis-ease. If this process continues and the
lymphatic system does not or cannot eliminate the
acid buildup, because of lack of alkaline hydration
and exercise, through perspiration or back into
circulation and then eliminated through urination,
the acidic body wastes will begin building up and
breaking down the body cells and tissues even while
the blood is maintaining its alkaline state at
7.365 to 7.4.
When the acidity of the tissues continue, the
blood overcompensates by pulling alkalinity from
the bones and muscles into the blood and we then
note a remarkable increase in the blood pH from
7.36 to 7.4 to 7.5. When the pH of the blood
increases in alkalinity, we now know that the
tissues are acidic and the body has entered into
latent tissue acidosis. If this continues and
the alkaline reserves of the body begin to be
used up, the pH of the blood will reverse and go
from a state of alkalosis or latent tissue acidosis
to compensated acidosis to decompensated acidosis
until death. That is why we see very sick people
wasting away as the body is pulling its alkaline
mineral resources from the bones and tissues into
the blood in order to maintain the delicate pH
balance of the blood at 7.365 to 7.4. When the
human body is alkaline by design and acidic by
function and is actively engaged in maintaining
that alkaline design through an alkaline lifestyle
and diet, it is theoretically impossible to lose
bone mass or muscle mass or to get sick or tired.
Gabe states, "certain foods can leave end-products
called ash that can make your urine either acid or
alkaline, but urine is the only body fluid that
can have its acidity changed by food or
supplements."
The fact is that the urine is a direct reflection
of the tissue pH, caused indirectly, in part, by
food and drink, and can be either acidic or alkaline.
The ideal pH of the urine is 7.2 or above. Most
folks have urine pH lower then 7.2. My own clinical
research has indicated that an acidic urine pH will
manifest as body fatigue and tiredness. A urine pH
that is over 7.2 will manifest an energetic body.
Dr. Gabe says that "ALKALINE-ASH FOODS include fresh
fruit and raw vegetables. ACID-ASH FOODS include ALL
ANIMAL PRODUCTS, whole grains, beans and other seeds.
These foods can change the acidity of your urine, but
that's irrelevant since your urine is contained in
your bladder and does not affect the pH of any other
part of your body."
Here Dr. Gabe has really lost his way. Alkaline
foods include low sugar fruits, green vegetables,
healthy oils, whole unprocessed salts, and alkaline
water. Acid foods include dairy products, animal
flesh, eggs, vinegar, soy sauce, peanuts, corn,
high sugar fruits, high sugar root vegetables like
potato and beet, mushrooms, algae, coffee, tea,
tap water, tobacco, marijuana, most all prescription
drugs, just to name a few. For a complete updated
list of acid and alkaline foods and drinks read,
The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, by Dr. Robert and
Shelley Young."
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/books.htm
It is also important to note that the pH of the
urine is a direct indicator of the pH of the body
tissues. When the urine pH is acidic, you are more
likely to be sick and/or tired. When your urine
pH is alkaline or above 7.2 pH, you are more likely
to be healthy and fit. People who are sick will
always have an acidic urine pH. People who are
healthy and fit will always have an alkaline pH.
It is that simple. That is why I have been teaching
and instructing tens of thousands of people for many
years that if you want to be healthy and fit, you
have to pee and sweat your way to health.
Dr. Gabe goes on to say that "when you take in
more protein than your body needs, your body cannot
store it, and so the excess amino acids are
converted to organic acids that would acidify
your blood. But your blood never becomes acidic
because as soon as the proteins are converted to
organic acids, calcium leaves your bones to
neutralize the acid and to try and prevent any
change in pH. Because of this, many scientists
think that taking in too much protein may weaken
bones to cause osteoporosis."
Well, "right on" Dr. Gabe. You finally have
explained something that conforms to the way
that the human body actually works. The body
does, indeed, pull calcium ions from the bones
and magnesium ions from the muscles to buffer
the organic acids from animal proteins in order
to maintain the delicate alkaline pH of the blood.
But, it is very important to remember when you
are pulling alkaline minerals from the tissues
and organs in order to maintain the alkalinity
of the blood, you end up with acidic tissues and
organs that leaves weak and brittle bones, tissues
and organs.
I would like to add that eating animal protein
results in the release of uric, nitric, sulphuric,
and phosphoric acids which the body tissues and
organs do not manage well. You can test the morning
urine after eating animal proteins and note the
lowered acidic urine pH. The morning urine pH
is a direct indicator of tissue pH and a person's
lifestyle and dietary choices over the last
24 hours.
Dr. Gabe and I are in agreement that the body
pulls alkaline minerals from the bones to maintain
the alkalinity of the blood at the expense of weak
or degenerative bones such as in the symptom of
osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the direct result
of an acidic lifestyle and diet, especially the
ingestion of animal proteins. You can protect
your bones, muscles and other organs with an
alkaline lifestyle and diet. So give up the
"beef" Gabe, whether from animal or from emotions.
They are both acidic and compromise the delicate
pH of the body fluids.
Gabe also states that, "cranberries have been
shown to help prevent recurrent urinary tract
infections, but not because of their acidity.
They contain chemicals that prevent bacteria
from sticking to urinary tract cells."
I would explain it this way. Cranberries contain
antioxidants that buffer the acids in the fluids
of the body including the urinary tract. Bacteria
is the result of cells that have transformed because
of the over-acidic state of the body. Acids act
like molecular glue. The antioxidants of the
cranberries help to buffer those acids with
alkaline compounds thus reversing the very thing
that causes the infection, that is, metabolic
and/or dietary ACID."
Dr. Gabe states: "taking calcium supplements or
drinking alkaline water will not change the pH
of your blood. If you hear someone say that your
body is too acidic and you should use their product
to make it more alkaline, you would be wise not to
believe anything else the person tells you."
I would like you to understand that taking alkaline
supplements or drinking alkaline water will help
prevent the blood from pulling alkaline compounds
from other parts of the body and thus helping to
maintain its alkaline design. Nobel prize winner
in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel, in 1912 stated,
"the human cell is immortal as long as we maintain
the alkaline fluids that it is bathed in."
I stated in 1986 that the human body is alkaline
by design, however, acidic by function. If you
can maintain the alkaline design of the body with
an alkaline lifestyle and diet you will never get
sick, tired or suffer from ANY dis-ease or disease.
People have been listening to allopathic medical
spokesperson like Dr. Gabe Mirkin for many decades.
Part of the reason that western medical science
is in such disarray, part of the reason that
750,000 people die from medical treatment every
year in America, and part of the reason that
drug companies spend so much money wooing doctors,
is that western medical science is controlled by
inadequate, wrong-headed, and self-invested research
programs and methodology. That research is
controlled in large part by the pharmaceutical
industry in conjunction with medical schools.
Almost all non-traditional and alternative
medical practitioners use products that cannot
be patented and do not reap obscene profits
from people who are unhealthy and sick. I
think it is fair to say that medicine controlled
by patents are more about money than health.
Thus, with this value system, there is little
reason for profit-oriented pharmaceutical
companies to look beyond the present broken-down
system and model.
I encourage spokespersons such as Dr. Gabe Mirkin
to look beyond the present system and to ask new
questions about how the body works, why so many
people are sick, why the elderly are on half a
dozen medicines or more, why so many people die
in the care of our medical system, and why so
many people are becoming increasingly distrustful
of the present medical system.
written by Gabe Mirkin entitled, "Acid/Alkaline
Theory of Disease Is Nonsense." Actually, Dr.
Mirkin has chimed in with his two cents worth
on any number of occasions, each time being
approximately incorrect as every other time.
It is quite amazing that the allopathic community
still does not understand some of the most
fundamental activities of the human body including
eating, drinking, digestion and most important
pH fluid balancing.
The following are a few of the major statements
made by Gabe Mirkin in one of his most recent
articles and my subsequent comments about what
he is saying.
=============================================
Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is Nonsense
by Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
Dr. Gabe states, "Have you seen advertisements
for products such as coral calcium or alkaline
water that are supposed to neutralize acid in
your bloodstream? Taking calcium or drinking
alkaline water does not affect blood acidity.
Anyone who tells you that certain foods or
supplements make your stomach or blood acidic
does not understand nutrition."
The truth is that taking alkaline supplements
or drinking alkaline water will first buffer
the dietary acids in the stomach before buffering
the metabolic acids of the blood and tissues.
This is a good thing since the ideal pH of the
stomach should be over 7.2 to do its work properly.
Current medical savants are simply incorrect when
they state that the ideal pH of the stomach is in
the 1.5 to 3.0 range. Further, any residual
alkalinity that makes it into the blood stream
will be thrown out into the interstitial fluids
to buffer metabolic acids.
Dr. Gabe also states that, "vinegar is acidic
and is used as a digestive enzyme. Protease,
lipase and amylase are all acidic enzymes
that break down proteins in the stomach and
make the over-all pH of the stomach more acidic.
Most all supplements that help with digestion
are acidic and will lower the pH of the stomach."
Wrong again, Dr. Merkin. When we ingest acidic
digestive enzymes, we force the cover cells of
the stomach to begin producing sodium bicarbonate
to buffer the acidic protease, lipase and amylase.
In order for the stomach to produce sodium bicarbonate
to buffer acidic supplements, food or drink, it must
pull sodium, chloride, water and carbon dioxide
from the blood. This can cause sodium and chloride
deficiencies of the blood leading to enervation.
Also, for every molecule of sodium bicarbonate
produced by the stomach, an acidic waste product of
hydrochloric acid is produced which is taken up
into the blood through the gastric pits causing
an acidification of the blood and then tissues.
The blood cannot withstand the slightest decrease
in alkalinity and so the hydrochloric acid is taken
up by the connective tissues and the fatty tissues
leading to latent tissue acidosis and the cause
of all sickness and dis-ease.
Various parts of the body may also give up calcium,
magnesium and potassium ions into the blood in order
to help buffer the excess acids from the stomach.
When these important alkaline minerals are given up,
especially on a consistent basis, this can then
cause bone, muscle and other tissue to diminish or
begin to degenerate due to the loss of these
alkalizing ions. This is the cause of tissue
wasting in what we refer to as degenerative dis-ease.
The secondary effects of taking acidic digestive
enzymes and/or eating acidic food or drink is the
damage to the delicate intestinal villi of the small
intestine. When this happens, the body cannot produce
healthy stem cells, erythroblasts and then erythrocytes.
This leads to blood disorders and then tissue disorders.
Without a healthy, small intestine, it is impossible
to make healthy blood, and without healthy blood,
it is impossible to make healthy body cells that
make up body organs.
Dr. Gabe also states, "your stomach is so acidic
that no food or drink can change its acidity.
Citrus fruits, vinegar, and vitamins such as
ascorbic acid or folic acid do not change the
acidity of your stomach or your bloodstream. An
entire bottle of calcium pills or antacids would
not change the acidity of your stomach for more
than a few minutes."
This is just wrong. This is where Dr. Gabe Mirkin
does not understand or has perhaps never been aware
that the stomach lining secretes an equal amount of
sodium bicarbonate into the stomach in order to
alkalize the food, drink and supplements that we eat
with a toxic acidic waste product of hydrochloric
acid which is taken up by the blood to be eliminated.
When the body does not have enough sodium bicarbonate
to alkalize food, the hydrochloric acid that is then
produced will fall into the gastric pits of the
stomach. Ideally, it would NEVER come into contact
with the food as the sodium bicarbonate rises to the
front or comes to the fore in order to alkalize the
food or liquids ingested. The equation is:
NaCl + H20 + C02 <=> NaHC03 + HCL. The stomach
begins producing and releasing sodium bicarbonate
(an alkalizing compound) immediately when you put
food or drink into your mouth. You can test the
saliva after eating or drinking an acid food and
you will find that in a healthy person, the pH of
the saliva goes up to a pH of 8 or even greater.
When you put something into your mouth, the
salivary glands immediately begin secreting sodium
bicarbonate to increase the pH. This does not
happen when you eat or drink an alkaline food or
drink.
Another simple experiment will show you that when
you combine sodium bicarbonate with hydrochloric
acid in a flask, the hydrochloric acid will fall
to the bottom of the flask as the sodium bicarbonate
will rise to the top. This is what happens in the
stomach. The sodium bicarbonate made from the cover
cells of the stomach rises to the front to meet
the food or liquids ingested as the hydrochloric
acid falls into the gastric pits of the stomach
away from the food or drink ingested. The primary
purpose of sodium bicarbonate rising to the
forefront is to alkalize the food, not digest
or acidify the food. The stomach is an organ of
contribution NOT digestion. Its main contribution
is to manufacture sodium bicarbonate designed by
Mother Nature to alkalize the food and liquids
we ingest.
Dr. Gabe then states, "all foods that leave your
stomach are acidic."
This statement is not categorically true as stated
by Dr. Gabe. And ideally, it would never be true.
It would depend on how acid or alkaline the food is
that you are dealing with and how healthy the body
is. All food coming out of the stomach should be
alkaline in preparation to be received by the small
intestine at a pH of 8.2 to 8.4. If the food that
comes out of the stomach into the duodenum is less
than a pH of 8, then a healthy pancreas and gallbladder
will secrete additional sodium bicarbonate in order
to bring up the pH of the liquid food to an 8.2 to
8.4 pH. The secretion of sodium bicarbonate is only
possible if the foundational elements of sodium,
chloride, carbon dioxide and water are available
from the blood. The stomach is the major organ for
producing the alkaline sodium bicarbonate and is
responsible for alkalizing and not digesting the
food and liquids that we ingest.
Dr. Gabe also states, "the food enters your
intestines where secretions from your pancreas
neutralize the stomach acids. So no matter what
you eat, the food in stomach is acidic and the
food in the intestines is alkaline."
I would like you to understand that the pancreas
and the gallbladder are only second in line or
back-up glands to bring up the pH of the food or
liquids ingested to the ideal 8.2 to 8.4 by
secreting sodium bicarbonate. The alkalizing
of our food and drink is very important in order
that the liquefied food can be transformed into
new stem cells in the crypts of the small
intestine or the root system of the body for
making new blood. If the liquid food is too
acidic, it will harm and even destroy the
intestinal villi. This will lead to many if
not all sickness and dis-ease including all
blood disorders.
Dr. Gabe then states, "You cannot change the
acidity of any part of your body except your
urine. Your bloodstream and organs control
acidity in a very narrow range. Anything that
changes acidity in your body would make you
very sick and could even kill you. Promoters
of these products claim that cancer cells
cannot live in an alkaline environment and
that is true, but neither can any of the other
cells in your body.
First of all, there is no such thing as a cancer
cell. There are only cells which have become
cancerous. Cancerous cells-originally healthy
cells-have been spoiled with dietary and/or
metabolic acids. When you increase your
alkalinity by simply using sodium bicarbonate,
not only does your urine pH go up above 8, but
your tears, sweat and saliva will also go up.
Our bodies are alkaline by design and acidic
by function. Any food or drink that we ingest
that will maintain that alkaline design will
also preserve the body from aging and will
keep it healthy, energetic and youthful.
Our body cells love alkalinity just like the
ocean fish that swim in a pH of 8.3. My clinical
microscopy and analysis over a 30 year period
of research tells us that body cells thrive in
mild, moderate and high pH fluids ranging from
7.3 to 11 pH. Body cells do not tolerate even a
mild acid state. In fact cancerous cells thrive
in a pH of 5.5.
Dr. Merkin goes on to state that "all chemical
reactions in your body are started by chemicals
called enzymes. For example, if you convert
chemical A to chemical B and release energy,
enzymes must start these reactions. All
enzymes function in a very narrow range of
acidity. (The degree of acidity or alkalinity
is expressed as "pH."). If your blood changes
its acidity or alkalinity for any reason, it
is quickly changed back to the normal pH or
these enzymes would not function and the
necessary chemical reactions would not proceed
in your body.
It is amazing to me how so many functions
of the body are still not properly understood
by so-called modern medicine medical practice
that is still actually resting on the wrong
foundational germ theory of Louis Pasteur. First
of all, the body runs on electrons not enzymes.
The enzymes of the body are the exhaust or
the acidic waste products of energy consumption.
We no more need enzymes to run our body then a
car needs carbon monoxide to run. They are both
acidic waste products of metabolism or energy
consumption that need to be eliminated as quickly
as possible through their exhaust systems. For the
human body, acids would be eliminated through
urination, perspiration, defecation or respiration."
Dr. Gabe states, "When you hold your breath,
carbon dioxide accumulates in your bloodstream
very rapidly and your blood turns acidic, and
you will become uncomfortable or even pass out.
This forces you to start breathing again immediately,
and the pH returns to normal. If your kidneys are
damaged and cannot regulate the acidity of your
bloodstream, chemical reactions stop, poisons
accumulate in your bloodstream, and you can die."
Here Dr. Gabe is talking out of both sides of his
mouth. He is right that when you hold your breath
and if the blood cannot purify itself from the
acidity, then you would die. But, this is the
same thing that happens when you over-indulge
in acidic lifestyles and diets. This is the
same thing that happens when the body cannot
eliminate its acidic waste products fast enough
through its elimination systems and organs. So,
dietary and/or metabolic acids that are not
eliminated are thrown out into the blood and
then into the connective tissues and fatty tissues
leading to latent tissue acidosis the only cause
of dis-ease. If this process continues and the
lymphatic system does not or cannot eliminate the
acid buildup, because of lack of alkaline hydration
and exercise, through perspiration or back into
circulation and then eliminated through urination,
the acidic body wastes will begin building up and
breaking down the body cells and tissues even while
the blood is maintaining its alkaline state at
7.365 to 7.4.
When the acidity of the tissues continue, the
blood overcompensates by pulling alkalinity from
the bones and muscles into the blood and we then
note a remarkable increase in the blood pH from
7.36 to 7.4 to 7.5. When the pH of the blood
increases in alkalinity, we now know that the
tissues are acidic and the body has entered into
latent tissue acidosis. If this continues and
the alkaline reserves of the body begin to be
used up, the pH of the blood will reverse and go
from a state of alkalosis or latent tissue acidosis
to compensated acidosis to decompensated acidosis
until death. That is why we see very sick people
wasting away as the body is pulling its alkaline
mineral resources from the bones and tissues into
the blood in order to maintain the delicate pH
balance of the blood at 7.365 to 7.4. When the
human body is alkaline by design and acidic by
function and is actively engaged in maintaining
that alkaline design through an alkaline lifestyle
and diet, it is theoretically impossible to lose
bone mass or muscle mass or to get sick or tired.
Gabe states, "certain foods can leave end-products
called ash that can make your urine either acid or
alkaline, but urine is the only body fluid that
can have its acidity changed by food or
supplements."
The fact is that the urine is a direct reflection
of the tissue pH, caused indirectly, in part, by
food and drink, and can be either acidic or alkaline.
The ideal pH of the urine is 7.2 or above. Most
folks have urine pH lower then 7.2. My own clinical
research has indicated that an acidic urine pH will
manifest as body fatigue and tiredness. A urine pH
that is over 7.2 will manifest an energetic body.
Dr. Gabe says that "ALKALINE-ASH FOODS include fresh
fruit and raw vegetables. ACID-ASH FOODS include ALL
ANIMAL PRODUCTS, whole grains, beans and other seeds.
These foods can change the acidity of your urine, but
that's irrelevant since your urine is contained in
your bladder and does not affect the pH of any other
part of your body."
Here Dr. Gabe has really lost his way. Alkaline
foods include low sugar fruits, green vegetables,
healthy oils, whole unprocessed salts, and alkaline
water. Acid foods include dairy products, animal
flesh, eggs, vinegar, soy sauce, peanuts, corn,
high sugar fruits, high sugar root vegetables like
potato and beet, mushrooms, algae, coffee, tea,
tap water, tobacco, marijuana, most all prescription
drugs, just to name a few. For a complete updated
list of acid and alkaline foods and drinks read,
The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, by Dr. Robert and
Shelley Young."

It is also important to note that the pH of the
urine is a direct indicator of the pH of the body
tissues. When the urine pH is acidic, you are more
likely to be sick and/or tired. When your urine
pH is alkaline or above 7.2 pH, you are more likely
to be healthy and fit. People who are sick will
always have an acidic urine pH. People who are
healthy and fit will always have an alkaline pH.
It is that simple. That is why I have been teaching
and instructing tens of thousands of people for many
years that if you want to be healthy and fit, you
have to pee and sweat your way to health.
Dr. Gabe goes on to say that "when you take in
more protein than your body needs, your body cannot
store it, and so the excess amino acids are
converted to organic acids that would acidify
your blood. But your blood never becomes acidic
because as soon as the proteins are converted to
organic acids, calcium leaves your bones to
neutralize the acid and to try and prevent any
change in pH. Because of this, many scientists
think that taking in too much protein may weaken
bones to cause osteoporosis."
Well, "right on" Dr. Gabe. You finally have
explained something that conforms to the way
that the human body actually works. The body
does, indeed, pull calcium ions from the bones
and magnesium ions from the muscles to buffer
the organic acids from animal proteins in order
to maintain the delicate alkaline pH of the blood.
But, it is very important to remember when you
are pulling alkaline minerals from the tissues
and organs in order to maintain the alkalinity
of the blood, you end up with acidic tissues and
organs that leaves weak and brittle bones, tissues
and organs.
I would like to add that eating animal protein
results in the release of uric, nitric, sulphuric,
and phosphoric acids which the body tissues and
organs do not manage well. You can test the morning
urine after eating animal proteins and note the
lowered acidic urine pH. The morning urine pH
is a direct indicator of tissue pH and a person's
lifestyle and dietary choices over the last
24 hours.
Dr. Gabe and I are in agreement that the body
pulls alkaline minerals from the bones to maintain
the alkalinity of the blood at the expense of weak
or degenerative bones such as in the symptom of
osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the direct result
of an acidic lifestyle and diet, especially the
ingestion of animal proteins. You can protect
your bones, muscles and other organs with an
alkaline lifestyle and diet. So give up the
"beef" Gabe, whether from animal or from emotions.
They are both acidic and compromise the delicate
pH of the body fluids.
Gabe also states that, "cranberries have been
shown to help prevent recurrent urinary tract
infections, but not because of their acidity.
They contain chemicals that prevent bacteria
from sticking to urinary tract cells."
I would explain it this way. Cranberries contain
antioxidants that buffer the acids in the fluids
of the body including the urinary tract. Bacteria
is the result of cells that have transformed because
of the over-acidic state of the body. Acids act
like molecular glue. The antioxidants of the
cranberries help to buffer those acids with
alkaline compounds thus reversing the very thing
that causes the infection, that is, metabolic
and/or dietary ACID."
Dr. Gabe states: "taking calcium supplements or
drinking alkaline water will not change the pH
of your blood. If you hear someone say that your
body is too acidic and you should use their product
to make it more alkaline, you would be wise not to
believe anything else the person tells you."
I would like you to understand that taking alkaline
supplements or drinking alkaline water will help
prevent the blood from pulling alkaline compounds
from other parts of the body and thus helping to
maintain its alkaline design. Nobel prize winner
in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel, in 1912 stated,
"the human cell is immortal as long as we maintain
the alkaline fluids that it is bathed in."
I stated in 1986 that the human body is alkaline
by design, however, acidic by function. If you
can maintain the alkaline design of the body with
an alkaline lifestyle and diet you will never get
sick, tired or suffer from ANY dis-ease or disease.
People have been listening to allopathic medical
spokesperson like Dr. Gabe Mirkin for many decades.
Part of the reason that western medical science
is in such disarray, part of the reason that
750,000 people die from medical treatment every
year in America, and part of the reason that
drug companies spend so much money wooing doctors,
is that western medical science is controlled by
inadequate, wrong-headed, and self-invested research
programs and methodology. That research is
controlled in large part by the pharmaceutical
industry in conjunction with medical schools.
Almost all non-traditional and alternative
medical practitioners use products that cannot
be patented and do not reap obscene profits
from people who are unhealthy and sick. I
think it is fair to say that medicine controlled
by patents are more about money than health.
Thus, with this value system, there is little
reason for profit-oriented pharmaceutical
companies to look beyond the present broken-down
system and model.
I encourage spokespersons such as Dr. Gabe Mirkin
to look beyond the present system and to ask new
questions about how the body works, why so many
people are sick, why the elderly are on half a
dozen medicines or more, why so many people die
in the care of our medical system, and why so
many people are becoming increasingly distrustful
of the present medical system.
Cancer is Acid and Acid is Cancer
A look at data for over 1 million women in the UK indicates that drinking the acid alcohol -- even low amounts -- increases the risk of causing certain cancerous conditions in women.
According to the data released today, about 13 percent of the cancerous conditions of the breast, liver, rectum, and upper respiratory/gastrointestinal system may be related to using a alcohol, a strong acid that spoils healthy cells making them cancerous.
In their analysis of 1,280,296 middle-aged women from the so-called Million Women Study, Dr. Naomi E. Allen and colleagues from the University of Oxford found that 24 percent of participants reported no alcohol consumption. Women in the study who did drink alcohol consumed, on average, one drink per day. Very few drank three or more drinks per day.
During an average follow-up time of more than 7 years, 68,775 women were diagnosed with a cancerous condition.
As daily alcohol intake increased, so did the risks for cancerous conditions of the mouth and throat, esophagus, larynx (voicebox), rectum, liver, and breast, the researchers found. The risks were similar for women who drank acidic wine exclusively or other acidic beverages, like carbonated drinks.
The investigators calculate that for each additional acid drink of alcohol consumed regularly per day the excess number of cases per 1000 women up to age 75 was 11 for breast cancer, 1 for mouth and throat cancer, 1 for rectal cancer, and 0.7 each for malignancies of the esophagus, larynx, and liver.
The findings appear in the March 4th issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
In a related commentary, Dr. Michael S. Lauer and Dr. Paul Sorlie, from the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, wrote: "Despite its attractions, alcohol has been the proximate cause of a great deal of human misery, now with additional documentation by the elegant report of Allen et. al."
"Perhaps the complex story of alcohol," they add, "can be best summed up by what the great professor Albus Dumbledore said about truth in one of his conversations with his student Harry Potter: 'It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution'."
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "cancer is acid and acid is cancer that can flow through the body fermenting and spoiling healthy cells. If you drink a glass of alcohol you are drinking a glass of cancer. Expect to eventually experience a cancerous condition in your body sooner or later, unless you suffer from a heart attack first."

Zinc May Help To Prevent and Reverse Diabetes
Before any firm conclusions can be drawn, however, the researchers, led by Qi Sun, caution that more studies are needed to confirm these finding, as well as to elucidate potential mechanisms. The results are published online ahead of print in the journal Diabetes Care.
Zinc, one of the most plentiful trace elements in the body, second only to iron, mediates many physiological functions.
It is believed to be essential for maintaining healthy active white blood cells; recent science suggests the mineral could also influence memory, muscle strength and endurance in adults. Zinc nutrition in very young children has been related to motor, cognitive and psychosocial function.
The Harvard study involved 82,297 women aged between 33 and 60 taking part in the Nurses' Health Study. Over the course of 24 years, 6,030 cases of type-2 diabetes were documented.
After relating the incidence of the disease with data obtained from a validated food frequency questionnaire, the researchers note that women with the highest average dietary intakes of zinc were 10 per cent less likely to develop the acidic condition of diabetes, while women with the highest average total intakes had their acidic risk reduced by 8 per cent.
Further number crunching by the researchers took into account other potentially confounding factors, and showed that increasing intakes of the alkalizing mineral Zinc were associated with a reduction up to 28 per cent.
"The mechanism behind the effects is the minerals ability to chelate dietary and/or metabolic acid and reduce the risk of conditions associated with increased acidosis, such as diabetes and cancer," states Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center.
An estimated 19 million people are affected by the dietary and/or metabolic acid condition called diabetes in the EU 25, equal to four per cent of the total population. This figure is projected to increase to 26 million by 2030.
In the US, there are over 20 million people with acid induced diabetes, equal to seven per cent of the population. The total costs are thought to be as much as $132 billion, with $92 billion being direct costs from medication, according to American Diabetes Association figures (2002).
"Increased acidity from animal proteins, high acid sugar fruits, and other acidic sugars from carbohydrates compromise the alkaline design of the body. This alkaline compromise, due to acidic lifestyle and dietary choice can then lead to pancreatic stress and damage to the delicate root system of the body, the intestinal villi, leading to the condition of diabetes," states Dr. Young.
Dr. Young further states, "the mineral zinc can reduce dietary and metabolic acid supporting the pancreas and its insulin producing beta cells and protect the alkaline environment of the small intestine, responsible for the creation of stem cells, erythroblasts and erythrocytes."

No More High Blood Pressure
The following is an unsolicited pH Miracle Living testimony.
==========================================================
I have taken your advice, though I admit I do not follow it completely. However, I have been drinking water with pH drops added, and taking your pHour salts twice a day. Also, I eat a lot less meat than i used to, and I'm all organic, or at least most of the time. Just these things have resulted in a vast improvement in my health.
My scary angina episodes have completely vanished. My heart palpatations (which was almost every day) have vanished. My blood pressure (without exercising) has dropped from 150/96 to 125/76 (in about three weeks of being on this new diet and salts and pH water), and most importantly, I used to get about thee migraines per week, now it's only about one per month, and where these used to be unhelpable with excedrin, now two excedrins and the pHour salts remove the pain, and now my life is virtually pain free, where it used to be that any day I was without pain, was a unique day in my life, now it is the norm. Also noticeable is the tinnitus I used to have 24/7, very annoying, has subsided to a much less annoying level to where I hardly notice it.
Another thing I noticed. I work as a wedding photographer, and I could never stand on my feet for more than two hours without needing to sit down for a spell because of back pain. Yesterday, I was on my feet for six hours straight before I noticed a mild back pain, so my back is getting better.
I have lost about 20 lbs. Now all I've got to do is start exercising, and I know my health will get even better.
Thank you for giving me my life back.

Anger Really Can Kill You!
Anger and other strong acidic emotions can trigger potentially deadly heart rhythms in certain vulnerable people, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
Previous studies have shown that earthquakes, war or even the loss of a World Cup Soccer match can increase rates of death from sudden cardiac arrest, in which the heart stops circulating blood.
"It's definitely been shown in all different ways that when you put a whole population under a stressor that sudden death will increase," said Dr. Rachel Lampert of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, whose study appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
"Our study starts to look at how does this really affect the electrical system of the heart," Lampert said.
She and colleagues studied 62 patients with heart disease and implantable heart defibrillators or ICDs that can detect dangerous heart rhythms or arrhythmias and deliver an electrical shock to restore a normal heart beat.
"These were people we know already had some vulnerability to arrhythmia," stated Lampert.
Patients in the study took part in an exercise in which they recounted a recent angry episode while Lampert's team did a test called T-Wave Alternans that measures electrical instability in the heart.
Lampert said the team specifically asked questions to get people to relive the angry episode. "We found in the lab setting that yes, anger did increase this electrical instability in these patients," she said.
Next, they followed patients for three years to see which patients later had a cardiac arrest and needed a shock from their implantable defibrillator.
"The people who had the highest anger-induced electrical instability were 10 times more likely than everyone else to have an arrhythmia in follow-up," she said.
Lampert said the study suggests that anger can be deadly, at least for people who are already vulnerable to this type of electrical disturbance in the heart.
"It says yes, anger really does impact the heart's electrical system in very specific ways that can lead to sudden death," she said.
But she cautioned against extrapolating the results to people with normal hearts. "How anger and stress may impact people whose hearts are normal is likely very different from how it may impact the heart which has structural abnormalities," she said.
Lampert is now conducting a study to see if anger management classes can help decrease the risk of arrhythmia in this group of at-risk patients.
Sudden cardiac death accounts for more than 400,000 deaths each year in the United States, according to the American College of Cardiology.
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "anger is energy in motion or E-motion that can require the consumption of a high level of cellular energy and as a result produce a high level of acidic waste that can cause electrical instability in the heart leading to arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest."

Previous studies have shown that earthquakes, war or even the loss of a World Cup Soccer match can increase rates of death from sudden cardiac arrest, in which the heart stops circulating blood.
"It's definitely been shown in all different ways that when you put a whole population under a stressor that sudden death will increase," said Dr. Rachel Lampert of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, whose study appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
"Our study starts to look at how does this really affect the electrical system of the heart," Lampert said.
She and colleagues studied 62 patients with heart disease and implantable heart defibrillators or ICDs that can detect dangerous heart rhythms or arrhythmias and deliver an electrical shock to restore a normal heart beat.
"These were people we know already had some vulnerability to arrhythmia," stated Lampert.
Patients in the study took part in an exercise in which they recounted a recent angry episode while Lampert's team did a test called T-Wave Alternans that measures electrical instability in the heart.
Lampert said the team specifically asked questions to get people to relive the angry episode. "We found in the lab setting that yes, anger did increase this electrical instability in these patients," she said.
Next, they followed patients for three years to see which patients later had a cardiac arrest and needed a shock from their implantable defibrillator.
"The people who had the highest anger-induced electrical instability were 10 times more likely than everyone else to have an arrhythmia in follow-up," she said.
Lampert said the study suggests that anger can be deadly, at least for people who are already vulnerable to this type of electrical disturbance in the heart.
"It says yes, anger really does impact the heart's electrical system in very specific ways that can lead to sudden death," she said.
But she cautioned against extrapolating the results to people with normal hearts. "How anger and stress may impact people whose hearts are normal is likely very different from how it may impact the heart which has structural abnormalities," she said.
Lampert is now conducting a study to see if anger management classes can help decrease the risk of arrhythmia in this group of at-risk patients.

26 Ways To Prevent and/or Reverse An Acidic Cancerous Condition
About 1.3 million Americans are diagnosed with a cancerous acidic condition each year and about 500,000 die from this acidic dis-ease. Some cancerous acidic conditions claim more lives than others, and there are things you can do to stop doing cancer. Here are the four deadliest acidic cancerous conditions caused by acidic lifestyle and diet and how you can prevent them:
1) Acidic Cancerous Lungs. Acidic cancerous lungs is the leading cause of cancer death in America and will claim more than 157,000 lives this year. More than 80 percent of acidic cancerous lungs are linked to smoking acidic sugar coated cigarettes. Even if you don't smoke, but live or work with smokers, your risk rises due to second-hand smoke. Don't smoke and encourage the smokers in your life to quit this acidic sugar addictive habit.
2) Acidic Cancerous Colon. Acidic Cancerous colon will claim the lives of about 57,000 Americans this year, but it is a highly curable cancerous condition if caught early, using live and dried blood cell analysis. Since high acidic animal protein and fat diets and sedentary lifestyles double the risk of colon cancer, switch to the pH Miracle Lifestyle and diet rich in green fruits, green vegetables, healthy alkalizing oils from hemp, olive, avocado, live sprouts, alkaline water, liberal amounts of mineral salts, alkaline nutritional supplements, sunshine (Vitamin D) and added alkaline exercise for 1 hour daily.
3) Acidic Cancerous Breasts. Although 40,000 women will die from acidic cancerous breasts this year, 85 percent of breast cancer patients are alive five years after diagnosis. The five-year survival rate rises to 95 percent if the cancer is localized, so early detection and an alkaline pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet is essential. The major cause of breast cancer is dairy products and bread. Eliminate all dairy products and bread.
4) Acidic Cancerous Prostate. Acidic cancerous Prostate is the most common acidic cancerous condition in men over the age of 70 and will claim the lives of 29,000 Americans this year.
Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at The pH Miracle Living Center states, "a cancerous prostate is caused by an acidic lifestyle and diet which is triggered with a diet that is high is acidic animal protein and fat and well as lack of daily exercise. A cancerous Prostate is preventable and if detected early through live and dried blood analysis is 100% reversible."
To avoid all acidic cancerous conditions:
1) Exercise, stretch and sweat for 1 hour every day.
2) Watch your acidic weight with an alkaline lifestyle and diet.
3) Don't smoke cigarettes, cigars or chew tobacco. It is laced with sugar and other chemicals!
4) Eliminate all animal protein, dairy, sweet fruit, processed sugar and all grains.
5) Eat healthy alkaline oils (100 grams a day), high fiber diet rich in alkaline green fruit and green vegetables.
6) Drink 4 to 5 liters of alkaline water with a pH of at least 9.5 and an ORP or electrical potential of -150 mV.
7) Drink chlorophyll rich green drinks every day. You can add the green powder or liquid chlorophyll to your alkaline electron rich water.
8) Drink 2 to 3 ounces or 100 ml of cold-pressed poly-unsaturated oil daily.
9) Ingest 10 to 12 grams of sea salt every day.
10) Take antioxidant nutritional supplements every day, including Glutathione, N-acetyl-cystein, R-dehyro-lipoic, CO-Q-10, magnesium and Zinc.
11) Take the four alkaline salts of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium carbonate and bicarbonate.
12) Get 30 minutes of sunshine and take 2000mg of Vitamin D every day.
13) Cleanse the bowels 3 to 4 times a year with magnesium oxide, fiber and colonics.
14) Eat 1 to 2 avocados daily.
15) Eat fresh sprouts every day.
16) Eliminate ALL forms of sugar out of the diet.
17) Eliminate ALL soda, coffee, tea (including green tea), sport drinks, exotic fruit drinks, and energy drinks.
18) Eliminate All alcohol.
19) Eliminate ALL corn products out of the diet.
20) Eliminate ALL mercury fillings.
21) Do daily stretching, breathing and isotonic exercising with Kundalini Yoga.
22) Daily deep breathing exercise, such as the "Breath of Fire" is very good for circulation.
23) Make love, smile and give lots of hugs. Remember, if you don't use it you lose it. :))
24) Have a lymphatic massage 1 to 2 times a week.
25) Laugh every day for no reason.
26) Pray and/or meditate daily.
Even the deadliest of acidic cancerous conditions can be reversed if they are caught early enough. If you have a family history of cancer, screening and early detection can make the difference between life and death. Avoiding known lifestyle risk factors for acidic cancerous conditions such as smoking and sugar help you prevent the "Big C." Remember, "the cure for cancer is found in its prevention NOT in its treatment," states Dr. Robert O. Young.

The Benefits of Cinnamon For Type I and Type II Diabetics
Ingesting the spice led to reductions in blood insulin levels, the hormone responsible for controlling acidic blood sugar levels, and increased levels of a peptide reported to work by delaying the emptying of the stomach (gastric emptying), according to results of a small study involving 15 people.
Despite the increases in glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), no effects on gastric emptying, feelings of satiety, or changes in blood sugar levels were reported. The results are published in the new issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
"Our finding that cinnamon decreases the insulin demand, despite the lack of change in blood glucose concentrations, was probably due to enhanced glucose uptake via stimulation of the insulin receptor," wrote the researchers, led by Joanna Hlebowicz from Malmo University Hospital.
The study adds to a growing body of research reporting that active compounds in cinnamon may improve parameters associated with diabetes. Indeed, the same researchers reported in the same journal in 2007 that consumption of 6 g cinnamon led to a decreased rate of gastric emptying.
Taking into account the earlier studies, Hlebowicz and her co-workers added: "Higher doses of cinnamon are apparently required to influence GER and postprandial blood glucose concentrations."
The researchers measured the rate of stomach emptying (gastric emptying rate) in 14 healthy subjects with normal fasting blood glucose levels after consuming 300 grams of rice pudding or 300 g rice pudding plus 6 g cinnamon.
Study details
The Scandinavian researchers recruited 15 health subjects (nine men) with an average age of 24.6, an average BMI of 22.5 kg/m2, and with no history of diabetes, and assigned them to randomly consume 300 grams of rice pudding with zero, one or three grams of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia; Santa Maria AB, Sweden) added. All of the participants consumed all the meals in a random order, with one week between each.
No significant effects on the rate of gastric emptying, levels of satiety, and blood glucose levels were reported. However, the insulin response one and two hours after the meal with three grams of the spice was significantly lower than levels after consuming the control meal.
Furthermore, the change in GLP-1 response was significantly higher after ingestion of the pudding with three grams of cinnamon, compared to the control meal, said the researchers.
"There seems to be a relation between the amount of cinnamon consumed, the delay in gastric emptying, and the reduction in postprandial blood glucose concentrations," wrote the researchers.
"The previously described reduction in postprandial blood glucose concentrations after the ingestion of six grams of cinnamon was much more noticeable than was the lowering of GER," they added.
"Gastric emptying, as well as other factors, regulates the postprandial blood glucose response, and a delay in gastric emptying leads to a lower postprandial blood glucose concentration."
Cinnamon and diabetes
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "cinnamon has been an important spice in not only delaying gastric emptying and postprandial blood glucose but a powerful chelator of gastrointestinal acid, such as glucose, in maintaining healthier blood sugar levels and even reducing blood glucose levels in both Type I and Type II diabetics."
"If you want to maintain and even reduce acidic blood sugar levels then eat lots of cinnamon," states Dr. Young

My Friends Are Dropping Dead Like Flies From Cancer!
The following is an email testimony from one of our cancer survivors who will not miss our first live interactive video webinar, this coming Monday, February 23rd, at 1 pm Pacific Time.
I hope you will be joining us too.
Kindest regards,
Dr. Robert and Shelley Young

Thank you Dr. Young:
I will be attending and will sign up. I have forwarded this notice to over 100 of my friends, with my testimony included as to the effectiveness, energy and good will I feel on this program. I fall off every once in a while, like last week when I decided to commit suicide by chocolate and dove into a bag of green m&m's out of depression. By the time I got to 16 of
them little creatures, I got the guilts and knew it would wreck havoc on my diabetes, and realized I gave my control up to people who didn't care about me anyway. That was stupid. So I drank a bottle of your pH Miracle alkaline water to flush it out. I paid for it, but I deserved it too.
I have so many friends dropping off like flies right now. So many in chemo, and I keep sending and forwarding your emails to them. I think the Lord is preparing for something major. I've never experienced so much loss every single day of friends in their 40-50-60's. Yet here I sit, busier than ever, loving every minute of my life, after getting a pink slip from my doctor one year ago this month, saying I wouldn't be here now.
I cherish you, and what you have taught me. I am here, holding down the most important work of my life in Public "Affairs for the church, planning community service projects, and special events, doing non stop charity projects for various groups like a free dental clinic, homeless shelters, and mental health programs.
You, Avocados and Broccoli! My best friends!! I look forward to your live video seminar on Monday the 23rd!

With the removal and resignation of Mark Dybul, the architect and executioner of George Bush's PEPFAR initiative, I would like to offer my willingness to take up the task of his position in the new Obama administration, and provide some analysis of several very expensive and wasteful programs that currently are in place, whose monies could be redirected to generate far more effective programs of health and humanitarian aide.
It should be stated from the start that I would organize the program on the basis of suggestions promoted by organizations like Doctors Without Borders, rather than continue Global AIDS initiatives, as they have been directed for years, according to questionable science, and pharmaceutical interests.
It also should be stated first, that I recognize and acknowledge that since the emergence of AIDS, many of the assumptions and efforts that have been advanced to address the issue of “HIV/AIDS” have revealed genuine concern for “the AIDS people,” and others of the world, regardless of how misguided and destructive some of these assumptions and efforts have been.
Despite AIDS control efforts that have been based upon faith-based assumptions instead of solid scientific evidence, it is clear that such public health initiatives are borne from altruistic impulses, and mostly administered by persons who want to help, rather than to exploit or profit.
Having acknowledged that we are only human, one may begin this task of overhauling World AIDS initiatives by asking President Obama’s new science advisors if they intend to maintain the violation of human rights that is caused by "HIV" molecular testing of so-called "low-risk" and "high-risk" individuals. "HIV" test kits cross-react non-specifically with other factors and known disease syndromes.
Among "HIV" test subjects, with respect to the accuracy of diagnosis, complete disclosure to human test subjects should be made about the facts that:
1. There are at least 70 known false positive "HIV" cross-reactions;
2. To obtain an unequivocally positive "HIV" test result each of the following potential chemical reactions should be eliminated through differential diagnosis as a possible reason for a false-positive test result on the ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbant Assay, WB's (WESTERN BLOT), or PCR-based tests (Polymerase Chain Reaction), before a positive "HIV" diagnosis is made: the spurious detection of p18, p24, p55, p12, p32, p51, p66 and gp160, gp41, gp120 antigens (antigens are molecules) that also may be present in fluids obtained from patients who are pregnant, from patients who suffer from other acute viral infections, from patients who have had recent flu or hepatitis B vaccinations, or for no reason that is associated with disease.
In 1993, U.S health authorities expanded AIDS diagnoses to include a category of people having but two laboratory conditions: a low white blood cell count (low WBC) and a test showing HIV antibodies of a high concentration. Thus these two test results, graded and judged on an arbitrary scale, despite a person having excellent clinical health and with no symptoms of disease whatsoever, stamp one in the U.S. to have "AIDS." Then, despite beginning in fine health, the nightmare of toxic drug therapies is initiated, with scared witless new patients conjuring up ludicrous dim memories of perhaps a brief sexual fling, blood transfusion, or bloody injury often decades ago. By year 2000, this singular low WBC rogue category of AIDS (the last year this data was available) cited by
New York City Department of Health data was 90% of their AIDS cases, and
rising.
This World health disaster called the AIDS era, and agony on a personal level, continues every day, brought by anti-retroviral drugs and mindless vaccine trials that should be instantly stopped or minimized. U.S. AIDS cases and deaths continue to be needlessly created by the 1993 AIDS definition which in a single day in 1993 caused a 204 percent increase in AIDS cases reported since the implementation of the new federal AIDS surveillance definition (AIDS Alert (06/93) Vol. 8, No. 6, P. 81). This "Challenger-sized disaster" continues with the current useless tests, with Congress and top health officials conducting business as usual, and blind to victory over AIDS throughout Europe, Australia, and even right next door in Canada, because the U.S. model of AIDS is in error. The new President Barack Obama must demand complete reassessment of this monumental medical fiasco, and stop the mindless massacre, racism, and homophobia that is reinforced by “high-risk” and “low-risk” designations, and the tragically flawed American AIDS model.
For starters, any new Global AIDS coordinator working for the Obama administration should immediately demand a reappraisal of:
A.The failure to evoke seroconversion, in most cases T-cell activation, or protection, even after sixty-three multi-million dollar vaccine failures all have raised issue with the American AIDS model and the “HIV=AIDS” hypothesis (see 1995 Congress of the United States: Office of Technology assessment. Adverse Reactions to HIV Vaccines: Medical, Ethical, and Legal Issues. Roger C. Herdman, Director; and also the list of 33 current, mostly aborted, vaccine trials on the NIAD website.
B.The failure to isolate “HIV” from all other objects in the Universe, or to explain what the confusing presence of “HIV” antigens or nucleic acids in healthy drug-naïve persons means, or explain why normal cellular proteins like actin are found inside "HIV" particles (see Gluschankof P, Mondor I, Gelderblom HR, Sattentau QJ. Cell membrane vesicles are a major contaminant of gradient-enriched human immunodeficiency virus type-1 preparations. Virology. Mar 31;230(1):125-33, 1997; or Bess JW Jr, Gorelick RJ, Bosche WJ, Henderson LE, Arthur LO. Microvesicles are a source of contaminating cellular proteins found in purified HIV-1 preparations. Virology, Mar 31; 230(1):134-44, 1997);
C.The failure to appreciate, that the association of a molecular marker with any disease state, does not prove, disprove, or even suggest causality;
D.The failure of the 2008 Nobel committee to appreciate, in the case of awarding the recent Nobel Prize to Luc Montagnier and Barre-Sinoussi, that according to their 1983 paper, their Patient One’s “viral” isolate,” was derived from a fellow with swollen lymph nodes, a history of syphilis and syphilis treatment the year before, a history of gonorrhea, a history of cytomegalovirus infection, a history of herpes I and II infection, a history of Epstein-Barr virus infection, and God knows what else (Barre-Sinoussi, F,J.C. Chermann J.C., Rey F., Nugeyre MT., Chamaret, S., Gruest J., Dauguet C., Axler-Blin C., Vezinet-Brn F., Rouzioux, C., Rozenbaum R., & Montagnier L. Isolation of a T-lymphotropic retrovirus from a patient at risk for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science 230: 868-871, 1983);
E. The failure of the December 2008 Nobel committee to appreciate that by their granting of either the first half of their Nobel Prize award to Montagnier, Barre-Sinoussi, and second half to Harald Zur Hausen, that despite the mistaken link between “HIV” and six different cancers, or HPV with cervical cancer, that “HIV” has never been linked to one of the first two “AIDS-defining illnesses” (Kaposi’s sarcoma), and that “HPV” has never been shown to transform cells in a scientifically acceptable experiment, and that the reason why “HPV” (human papillomavirus) molecular sequences are sometimes associated with cervical cancers is because these are all simply endogenous molecular sequences kicked out by transformed cells, not Human immune deficiency or transforming papillomaviruses. In this context, HPV "virus" particles, to date have not been shown to induce cervical cells or any other kind of cells to become cancerous in an acceptable experiment no more than "HIV" has even been shown to transform any human cells. Also in this context, the Nobel committee should be held accountable about the fact that many of us in the scientific community know that it is simply mindless greed and conflicting interests that has appeared to motivate this last December’s Nobel Committee NOT to acknowledge and heed the widely publicized warnings on all of the more than 30 "HIV" package inserts that claim their kits cannot detect "HIV," and ignore such agencies as The “College of American Pathologists (CAP),” and senior investigators at the National Cancer Institute (Dr. Mark Shiffman), Dr. Mark Stoler at the Virginia Healthcare system, and Attila Lorincz, PhD, chief scientific officer and senior VP of research development at Digene the company which makes “HPV” molecular test kits, that neither "HIV" sequences or “HPV-sequences” have been validated against the clinical occurrence of AIDS or clinical cervical cancer (several of the Nobel committee had direct ties to AstraZeneca and other biopharmaceutical companies and “HIV” vaccine trails). In this context, the Nobel committee also failed to appreciate the shameful carnage currently being perpetrated by the so-called first "anti-cancer" vaccine GARDASIL (made by the same company Merck, who 20 years ago claimed that their hepatitis B vaccine was the first “anti-cancer” vaccine, before 15,000 French citizens filed a class action suit to their Health Minister to stop the hepatitis B vaccine mandate for its youngest citizens, because it harmed so many. In this context, it also might also be mentioned that the hepatitis B "first anti-cancer" vaccine topped the CDC's list as being linked to the most reported vaccine adverse events after the 1999's impassioned crusade to vaccine infants against "STD's" or drug and alcohol-acquired syndromes like hepatitis B, and currently, Gardasil, Merck's other "first anti-cancer" vaccine, which will be bought for the Nations poorest girls (read African Americans predominantly) at a public-funded price of at least 2 billion, already has been responsible for 78 outbreaks of genital warts (http://www.NaturalNews.com/024774.html" target="_blank" title=")and, according to Judicial Watch:
"In June, 2008, the reported (<10% of adverse reactions are known to be reported) adverse events tally attributed to GARDASIL increased to 8,864: (http://tinyurl.com/6dkht7)"
Or:
Death toll linked to Gardasil vaccine rises. Complications include shock, 'foaming at mouth,' convulsions, coma.
Posted: June 30, 2008 10:18 pm Eastern, 2008 WorldNetDaily.
"Anaphylactic shock," "foaming at mouth," "grand mal convulsion," "coma" and "now paralyzed" are a few of the startling descriptions included in a new federal report describing the complications from Merck & Co.'s Gardasil medication for sexually transmitted human papillomavirus – which has been proposed as mandatory for all schoolgirls.
The document was obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by Judicial Watch, a Washington group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, and it has details of 10 deaths just since September.
"Given all the questions about Gardasil, the best public health policy would be to re-evaluate its safety and to prohibit its distribution to minors. In the least, governments should rethink any efforts to mandate or promote this vaccine for children," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
The organization's work uncovered reports of about one death each month since last fall, bringing the total death toll from the drug to at least 18 and as many as 20. There also were 140 "serious" reports of complications including about three dozen classified as life- threatening, 10 spontaneous abortions and half a dozen cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
The document reveals the case of an 18-year-old woman who got the Gardasil vaccine, was found unconscious that evening, and died. Another woman, age 19, got the drug and the next morning was found dead in her bed.
The new documents also reveal a total of 8,864 Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System records, up from a total of 3,461 that had been reported in a document just last fall.
F. The failure to sequence the “HIV” genome as a consistent pattern or genomic sequence, or to identify specific proteins that are not also found in normal, “non-infected” contexts. For instance,The DIADS culturing manual for “HIV” infection states that a true test reading is obtained when:
Two consecutive HIV p24 antigen VQA CORRECTED values of > 30 pg/ml (from a healthy donor source), of which the second value is at least four times greater than the first value or out of range” (O.D.>2) or Two consecutive HIV p24 antigen VQA CORRECTED values (from a healthy donor source) that are out of range” (Optical density > 2); or Three consecutive HIV p24 antigen VQA CORRECTED values of > 30 pg/ml (from a healthy donor source), where neither consecutive value is >than four times the previous sample, but the third value is at least four times greater than the first.
Thus, under current rules, if someone should have sex without informing the other participant(s) of their more than 30pg/ml p24 status, the "HIV-positive" person can be arrested by the State, thrown in jail, and tried and convicted for murder, if pregnant, a woman may be urged or even forced to abort, or to have a hysterectomy, as in the Serrano case. If less than 30pg/ml p24 (“HIV-capsid protein”) is detected, one can donate blood or sleep with everybody one can without telling them their less than 30 status, which constitutes p24 protein discrimination, rather than a positive “HIV” test result indicating the presence of an exogenous retroviral infection;
G.The failure to inform the public (and most scientists) that reverse transcriptase is not specific to viruses, nor are the gag, pol, env, p24, and other so-called “HIV-specific” genes and their products, which all can be detected in normal, “non- infected” contexts, and which are published on Medline;
H.The failure to block transmission of “HIV” or AIDS in mother to child transmission studies (MTCT) as shown by the Cochran Meta-analysis and other peer-reviewed reports, which almost without exception showed increased “HIV mutation rates” after black box label drugs such as nevirapine were discontinued in the U.S. because of their toxicitiy, and then ashamedly were administered to more than eight hundred seventy five thousand African mother-infant pairs by Max Essex of Harvard, and others.
I. The failure to acknowledge, appreciate, or investigate that safety officers of the NIH, such as Dr. Fishbein, who monitored the nevirapine trials as a safety officer, were fired, while those individuals such as Edmond Tremont who directed the nevaripine trial(s) were not even reprimanded after he had changed the data in safety reports that Dr. Fishbein and others had uncovered, in order to push forward George Bush’s and Mark Dybul’s PEPFAR pogrom and their abstinence-biblical-practice-enriched eugenics pogrom on Africans;
J. The failure to understand why ARV’s (anti-retrovirals) in some individuals, can prevent "AIDS syndromes," because of their toxicity to normal immune cells can block these cells from expressing “HIV-specific” molecules as a normal response to a physiological or pharmaceutical stress on lymphocytes, or are detected as evidence of a rare genetic polymorphism, and the failure to appreciate that as shown in the Fischl, Veterans Affairs, Concorde, and first decade of HAART, that these drugs are so toxic, that they can in some individuals suppress both fungal and bacterial growth, but cannot prevent theoretical virus proliferation, because if the “HIV” paradigm is correct, these genomes of “HIV” would be rapidly integrated into the DNA of “infected” cells and are “out of reach” of drugs designed against “HIV” “molecules;”
K. The failure of John Moore's "Hail Mary-discovered" microbicides, condom campaigns, and circumcision, to reduce "HIV-transmission" that have more often than not, increased the rate of detecting “HIV’s” molecular markers, instead of decreasing them among African human “lab rats;”
L.The failure to appreciate the disaster and infant mortality caused by breast feeding dissuasion campaigns, designed to decrease infant mortality from “HIV-infection,” but which increased infant mortality 20 times in formula fed infants, compared to mother-infant pairs that didn’t listen to their doctors, and who weren’t dissuaded from breast feeding, and the failure to appreciate the corresponding terrorism that has been waged against new mothers to promote formula dumping on 3rd World nations;
M.The failure to acknowledge how projected and WHO-manufactured “HIV” and “AIDS” prevalence and incidence rates have not materialized, and how they recently have been dismissed by world AIDS leaders such as Kevin de Cock
as signaling the end of the “heterosexual AIDS era” (except of course among people of African dissent or homosexuals who have been selectively biased during “HIV” testing campaigns, or selectively targeted during “HIV-preventative” microbicide or circumcision campaigns, or manufactured from “best guess estimates” based on STD clinics or perinatal clinics);
N. The failure to explain how “HIV’s” long “slow-virus-like” latency makes sense from any biochemical point of view;
O. The failure to support the progress of Doctors Without Borders, who recently showed how the cheap food supplement plumpynut, when given to the children of Niger, the poorest nation in Africa, has reversed the infant mortality rate, and without antibiotics or drugs, or without significant funding, as was revealed on 60 minutes;
P. The failure to develop a consistent in vitro model to detect “HIV” infection;
Q. The failure to develop any “HIV” animal model, while “HIV” exposed chimps now rest in their 27 million dollar retirement homes because they never developed AIDS after injection 20 years ago with AIDS patient sera or “HIV;”
R. The failure of the biomedical establishment to offer and provide support to pursue and fund at least 17 other hypotheses that have explained or have even reversed in some cases, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome;
S. The failure to pursue and fund rational and inexpensive patient-specific treatment regimens such as those developed in the German drug-abuse clinics by Heinrich Kremer, Juliane Sacher, or in African in Niger, by Doctors Without Borders who fed starving children plumpynet, and by many others who have shown they can reverse immunosuppression non-toxically, and with a minimum, or in most cases, with a complete lack of HAART;
T. The failure to appreciate why prostitutes and sex workers don’t acquire “HIV’s” molecular markers, or develop “AIDS,” unless they are also chronic immunosuppressive illicit or pharmaceutical drug users or abusers;
U. The failure to account for why Human “HIV” transmission studies like the 10 year Padian study and many others have not shown “HIV” or “AIDS” transmission between serodiscordant couples, or among health care workers inoculated with “HIV-tainted” blood, or why the spouses of “HIV-positive” hemophiliacs and “HIV-negative” partners have failed to seroconvert or develop AIDS after numerous unprotected and repeated exposures to their “HIV” positive spouses;
V. The failure to address the phenomenon announced as recently as February 14th, 2008, in San Diego, California, when the local county health department made quite a big deal out of the fact that all sexually transmitted diseases in their local gay community have risen by an astounding 800 percent since 2003, including syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, while “HIV” infection rates have dropped since 2003 in the very same gay community;
W. The failure to explain how there can be large numbers of so-called "Long-Term-Non-Progressors," or "Elite Controllers," who never acquire any illness, although they may test positive for “HIV’s” molecular signature for more than two decades, or how it is possible that ICL-AIDS patients test negative for “HIV” but are thought to have “AIDS;”
X. The failure to account for how T-cell numbers or “viral load” don’t indicate any effect of a viral presence or infection, or explain why viral load continues to be aggressively monitored despite the fact that no virus has ever been observed in the blood of a so-called “HIV-positive” individual harboring high “viral load” as measured by PCR (polymerase chain reaction);
Y.The failure of the AIDS establishment or Nobel committee to acknowledge the significance of The Sammelweis Society giving their award this last year to National Academy member Peter Duesberg for initially alerting the scientific community as to the impossibility and destructive capacity of the “HIV=AIDS” hypothesis, and to appreciate the significance of the co-presentation of that award to investigative journalist, Celia Farber, for her initial expose regarding the iatrogenocide committed against gay men during the high-dose AZT era;
Z. And finally, the failure of the Promoters of AIDS, to address in any of our numerous invited all-expense-paid offers to hold a public forum, or media exchange, and respond to questions as to why not one of their more than 33 “HIV” test kits first initially patented and launched by Robert Gallo and Abbott Laboratories claim they can’t detect “HIV,” and why they continue to state on their package inserts after more than 20 years, that the significance of “HIV’s” molecular signature is not known, or that "HIV" cannot be detected or diagnosed using these methodologies.
These are the true ABC's of AIDS denialism. Rather than advocating Abstinence, Being Faithful, and wearing Condoms as the ABC's of AIDS, all of this information (and a mountain of evidence not presented here) points to the glaring absurdity that A ("HIV)" leads to B (immune suppression), which leads to C (AIDS). The viral hypothesis is far too simplistic to be supported a moment longer without immediate and intensive investigation of 17 other hypotheses which, in some cases, have led to reversion of acquired immune collapse by improving immune function, without the use of anti-retroviral therapies, or attacking the “HIV” molecular markers or T-cell counts.
It isn’t all bad news.
It is true that there have been some successes, and these should be intensively reappraised and investigated as well. For instance, Donald Rumsfeld’s former biotech company, Giliad Biosciences, makes the AIDS cocktail drug atripola, which is now making obscene amounts of money in a plethora of AIDS pogroms (as well as Giliad’s Tamiflu, purchased by the American taxpayer, to fight the global and non-existent “bird flu pandemic”).
It might also seem like progress is being made by some because George Bush, and his Global AIDS coordinator, Mark Dybul’s PEPFAR pogrom was funded by a propagandized and hoodwinked Congress, and will now move forward to continue to line the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies as they continue to dump their rank, non-safety-tested, in some cases failed cancer chemo-therapeutic cellular (AZT) poisons on millions of Africans, and other nations like India, China, and others, after drugs like nevirapine were withdrawn from use in the U.S. a few years ago because of its rank liver-destructive toxicity, especially in women, and are now continuously being dumped on Africans and others among the World’s most vulnerable.
Another piece of hopeful news is that Kevin de Cock who is a World AIDS leader, announced recently that “heterosexual AIDS is over,” except of course, and according to the WHO and to him, among large segments of Africa, and the African American community perhaps, who remain problematic not because of some difference compared to whites in their heterosexual behavior, but simply because they are black. Such institutionalized racism, cultural phobia, and targeted selective testing biases have come to define the current “AIDS pandemic.”
It also might be perceived by some as good news that because of the WHO's ceaseless terror campaigns of "HIV/AIDS" paranoia, on the tourist visas of such nations as India, it is declared that:
TOURIST VISA FROM INDIA:
"Declaration to be made by applicants seeking to stay in India for more than one year:"
“I hereby undertake that I shall subject myself to a medical test, including for AIDS within one month of arrival in India. In case I am found positive for AIDS, I will leave India,”
Or that even the BBC frequently runs stories like the following as recently as December 2008 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7768059.stm):
GETTING HIGH ON "HIV" DRUGS IN SOUTH AFRICA
BBC NEWS
Getting high on HIV drugs in South Africa
Alka Marwaha, BBC News
"Anti-retroviral drugs used to treat HIV/Aids are being bought and smoked by teenagers in South Africa to get high."
"Reports suggest that the drugs are being sold by patients and even healthcare staff for money."
"Schoolchildren have been spotted smoking the drugs, which are ground into powder and sometimes mixed with painkillers or marijuana."
"Aids patients themselves have been found smoking the drugs instead of taking them as prescribed."
Or that Reuters at the beckoning call of public health officials newsflashes around the world stories such as the following without any self-critical awareness of even common sense:
“HIV” IS CAUSED BY CIGARETTES, BUT CIGARETTES DON’T CAUSE
AIDS.
On Thursday, Sep 21, 2006, as reported in Reuters, it was announced for the first time that the probable cause of increased "HIV's infection had been found to be…..smoking cigarettes, but 9 of 10 other studies failed to find a link between smoking and progression to AIDS:
LONDON (Reuters) - "Smoking, already linked to several illnesses, may also increase the risk of infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS."
"In a review of studies that looked at the association between smoking and HIV, British doctors said five of the six studies they analyzed showed smokers had a higher chance of becoming infected."
"Nine of 10 other studies in the review that tracked the progression from HIV to AIDS found no link with smoking."
"The studies identified in this systematic review indicate that while smoking might be independently associated with acquiring HIV infection, it does not appear to be related to progression to AIDS," said Dr Andrew Furber, of the South East Sheffield Primary Care Trust.
"Furber and his colleagues, who reported the findings in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, said tobacco smoke may increase susceptibility to HIV infection by modifying a variety of immune system responses."
As presented above, it is a hopeful idea that with a simple pen stroke, Mr. Obama could save billions of dollars to bail out our failing petrochemical economy that refuses to support the development of renewable energy, while it is being developed in civilized continents like South America and Europe. Such a pen stroke also could at the same time save many of our white 13 year-olds (like Ryan White who died of a liver bleed, and whose misfortune was exploited with the help of the moralistic Jesse Helms because he was a hemophiliac to advance the Ryan White Act during the Reagan administration). With the stroke of a pen, President Obama could even save the occasional “low risk” always faithful to her husband” soccer mom, boy-scout-leader dad, or world-class boxer like Tommy Morrison who tested "HIV" positive years ago but who now tests negative and whose career was ruined), or Arthur Ashe, or Kimberly Bergalis, or the Glasers, and countless others, from the devastation that will inevitably occur because of the universal testing now proposed by the CDC, the American Society of Pediatrics, the AMA, and other physician organizations to test everybody over the age of 13, everyone who enters an emergency room, the African American population of New York City, and of course, every infant born in a hospital. A pen stroke could save thousands of “low risk persons,” who will at low frequency, be convicted of being “HIV-positive” because they had a recent flu or hepatitis B vaccine.
If 2% of flu vaccine recipients, as Dr. Klausner from California writes in the New England Journal of Medicine, will express various “HIV” antibodies or epitopes (variants of molecules) after a flu vaccination in a country of 300,000,000 people, this means that six million people (2% of 300,000,000 people potentially could test positive for “HIV” antigens [Christian, P. Erickson, Todd McNiff, Jeffrey D. Klausner. Influenza Vaccination and False Positive HIV Results New England Journal of Medicine, Number 13 , Volume 354:1422-1423, March 30, 2006].
Josephson et al. (1) reported the results of a WESTERN Blot study that analyzed the assumed "HIV capsid protein” which is called p24. About the results of indeterminate patients (patients that aren’t either considered positive or negative), they claimed:
"Despite the fact the majority of p24-and p24/25-indeterminate specimens exhibited specific antibody reactivity with HIV core antigen (the P24 protein that supposedly forms the shell of the “HIV” virus), there was no evidence linking this reactivity to HIV infection. On the contrary, based on available data and limited patient information, we predict that HIV infection was not the cause in most cases…”
"A possible explanation for the specific p24 antibody reactivity in our patient population is that it represents cross-reactivity with another human retrovirus."
“HIV” was not the cause in MOST cases? In other words, these authors have claimed that although all of the samples tested were initially reactive, they "feel" that actuality none of the patients were really carrying "HIV," because 12 were from "low-risk groups" (perhaps they weren't black, or openly admitting that they had just experienced a 20 year addiction to heroin, crack or alcohol, or poppers, or were in fact pregnant, or had warts, or had a recent flu, hepatitis B, or tetanus vaccine, or had one of several dozen autoimmune diseases like arthritis that also generates “HIV-like DNA sequences” that are spuriously detected with PCR).
The explanation these AIDS researchers provided for the fact that none of the subjects who tested “HIV-positive were in fact “HIV-positive, is really quite imaginative. Perhaps these “HIV” test subjects were all infected with some other retrovirus to account for their indeterminate reactions (HTLV-5 is even suggested). So if you test indeterminate for "HIV" as all these 21 samples did, then perhaps you harbor "a different retrovirus," than “HIV.” Perhaps in time, this “other retrovirus” will lucratively be non-specifically linked to 99 previously known and described human diseases, instead of the mundane 48 previously known diseases that "HIV" is said to cause currently?
But pathologists, or scientists that have invented tests for diseases might have a somewhat different world-view of disease definitions than other scientists or doctors?
For instance, these authors forgot to mention that that alcoholic hepatitis, exposure to alpha interferon therapy, the presence of antibodies of healthy patients with high affinity for polystyrene used in different test kits, anti-carbohydrate antibodies, anti-collagen antibodies, arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, connective tissue disease, dermatomyostitis, tuberculosis, some strains of malaria, hemophilia, hepatitis, hemodialysis, high levels of circulating immune complexes, herpes simplex I and II, HLA antibodies (to Class I and II leukocyte antigens), hyperbilirubinemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, leprosy, lipemic serum, malaria, the presence of some malignant neoplasms, mycobacteriaum avium, non-specific detection of free ribonucleoproteins, organ transplantation, other retroviruses, the receipt of gamma globulin or immune globulin (as prophylaxis against infections), multiple transfusions, pregnancy especially in multiparous women, Q-fever with associated hepatitis, primary billiary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, recent tetanus, flu, or hepatitis B vaccination, T-cell leukocyte antibodies, chronic drug addiction, or visceral leishmaniasis are all known to be responsible for a false-positive cross-reactive HIV test results, as all of these (and about 40 other) factors or disease syndromes have been shown to generate false “HIV” positives (2).
AIDS diagnosis is different in different places.
To further emphasize the deadly absurdity and unnecessary expense of the current situation and policies regarding “HIV/AIDS,” if someone "HIV-positive" is diagnosed with AIDS in the U.S., all he/she has to do is go to Canada for another opinion, and voila (!), nineteen out of twenty times he/she will no longer be an AIDS patient, and thus not be prescribed the toxic drugs that actually bring mortality to slightly under half the recipients because of their "side effects," such as liver or pancreatic failure, neurological damage, lymphoma, mitochondria destruction, and heart attacks, all typically requiring millions of dollars for further palliative treatments.
One must also take into account, the colossal waste of lives and money that continues to occur because of the misguided and illogical surveillance definitions of “HIV/AIDS are different in different places. The standards for making an "HIV," "ARC," or "AIDS" diagnosis vary, and are different depending upon the country or region of a country where people are tested.
In 2001, the CDC's MMWR, Guidelines for Laboratory Test Result Reporting of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Ribonucleic Acid Determination, the recommendations from a CDC Working Group as of November 16, 2001 (50(RR20);1-12) reported that:
"Results obtained with available test methods are variable, and laboratories present these results in different ways, indicating that guidelines to promote standard practice in reporting of test results are warranted."
"No test reporting standardization exists; specifically, standard units of measurement of test methods have not been established. Laboratory viral load test reports should be accurate and adequate for patient treatment and public health monitoring of the HIV and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. To assure test reporting comparability among laboratories, standard methods are needed; moreover, standardized results are needed for early detection of infection, early access to patient care, and early detection of treatment failure."
In January 1, 2000, the CDC HIV-infection surveillance case definition was expanded to include viral load test results despite the fact that:
"In certain cases, laboratory slips indicated that HIV had been detected at a value below the test's lower limit (e.g., HIV detected was <400 copies/mL), or the laboratory slip provided an actual number of copies outside of the stated reportable range."
The National Institutes of Health and Henry J. Kaiser Foundation, USDepartment of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, 2001 have claimed the following (available at.
Accessed July 20, 2001):
..."Until a common standard is available to use for normalizing values obtained with different assay methods, choosing one assay method is advisible when HIV RNA levels are monitored to guide therapeutic decision-making. The goal to develop a common standard for normalizing values obtained with different test kits has recently been reported."
"Available tests are not licensed for diagnosing HIV infection, but the viral load test results are used for reporting HIV infection to local and state health departments."
This was the state of affairs at the beginning of our new century. Things have become much worse since then.
In May 2000, President Clinton declared AIDS to be a national security threat. President Bush and Congress have spent huge funds for America, Africa, and elsewhere. In October 2008 $48 billion was given for Africa alone, to be spread over the next five years. Being directly under the purview of his executive office, and commandeering almost 1% of the entire Federal budget, it is imperative President Obama order a complete review of both the incredulously higher U.S. death rate compared to all other Western nations, and ascertain the truth of genuine African AID belatedly acknowledged by many authorities to be grossly overestimated.
United States annual “AIDS deaths” have been near 16,000 for many years, providing fodder for ceaseless news accounts. What is keep quiet however, and is censored may be more accurate, is that the U.S. death rate is twenty-five times European Union (EU) country citizens’ death rate. Other countries such as Canada right next door, Australia, and New Zealand, match the EU success, all with AIDS deaths having sunk to double digits, basically to background levels before the term AIDS was coined 24 years ago. The self-perpetuating U.S. death toll springs from an errant definition of AIDS employed solely in the U.S. that initiates toxic drug therapies, that in turn brings iatrogenic AIDS mortality, with U.S. health generals inexplicitly failing to learn from these resounding “successes.” Having demonstrated their commitment to their undeviating tragic course, it is up to the President to relieve the captain and officers of the leviathan U.S. AIDS War and “Challenger-sized disaster,” without a moment's delay.
Moreover, the preventable U.S. death toll, compared to success elsewhere, should be succinctly and logically explained to the public, politicians, and medical professionals. Equally important, there are many scientists with world-class credentials able to enlighten President Obama, and President Obama's administration must allow them to be heard and not filtered through layers of handlers, or the chiefs of NIH unwilling to review the truth amply shown all around the world.
Since other Western countries attribute a low WBC count as only an AIDS indicator “illness,” and despite having similar “HIV-positive” rates, other Western countries have but a tiny fraction of the U.S. AIDS diagnoses. Thus, few are given the toxic treatment drugs designed to raise the WBC count and suppress “viral load.” Perhaps the physicians of these countries realize that low WBC and CD4+ T lymphocyte counts (CD4 counts) are associated with a variety of conditions, including many viral infections, bacterial infections, parasitic infections, sepsis, tuberculosis, coccidioidomycosis, burns, trauma, intravenous injections of foreign proteins, malnutrition, over-exercising, pregnancy, corticosteroid use, normal daily variation, psychological stress, and social isolation? There are also a number of people (about 3-5% of non-"HIV-positives) who are completely healthy and who have low CD4 counts for no apparent reason.
However, in the U.S., even if and when WBC counts are optimistically raised, patients' clinical results and mortality have been the opposite. The results have been consistent annual U.S. AIDS cases of 39,000, with the high death toll already noted, clearly tied to the taking of treatment drugs. These deaths are usually blamed as “HIV-caused” even though scientists after 25 years on their medical Manhattan Project have never been able to elucidate how “HIV” actually kills cells, and have never been able to provide an electron microscope photo from the tissues or blood of an “HIV-positive” or “AIDS patient,” of such cellular murder. As for the real facts, minimal deaths in all other countries resoundingly implicate the U.S. AIDS definition and consequent treatment drugs: Germany with a population of 83 million had 73 "AIDS deaths" in 2006 and but 373 new "AIDS cases;" other 2006 examples include Sweden with 9 million having but 10 "deaths" and 59 new "AIDS cases," Canada with 33 million people
had but 34 "deaths" and 255 new "AIDS cases," and so on (Sources: EUROHIV; HIV/AIDS surveillance in Europe: end-year report 2006; Surveillance Report to Dec. 31, 2006, Public Health Agency of Canada).
In 2006, the December Senate approved Burr's bioterrorism bill-a bill just in time for Christmas to establish the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, commonly referred to as BARDA, which passed by unanimous consent. The bill describes how forced vaccines, quarantines, criminalization of “HIV” and other molecular diseases should be signed into law as the 'debate' regarding Bush's war in Iraq continued. Also in 2006, the massive recalls of “HIV-test kits” continued during the last decade. For example, the FDA recalled Vironostika HIV-1 test kit lots: 259606, 121566,1008926, 259606, 121567, 1008926, 259606,121568, 1008926, 259605, 259717,160342, 1011220, 259605, 259717,160339, 1011021, and said:
"These HIV-1 finished kit lots in the field have been reported to contain EnzAbody reagent that appears noticeably cloudy and/or flocculent, instead of clear and non-turbid as expected 30 minutes after reconstitution. Use of cloudy EnzAbody could possibly increase your risk of inaccurate HIV test results in patients and therefore should be avoided."
A more of less complete list of similar recalls would take volumes of tables to present here, but are available upon request of the reader.
Suffice it to say, those accused by these kits of being "HIV" positive are rarely informed about "HIV" testing accuracy as they prepare themselves for eventual death or perpetual toxic drugging, amounting to approximately $350,000/patient over the course of their "treatment" according to recent reports. For instance, in 2006, Dr. Bruce R. Schackman, chief of health policy at Cornell’s Medical College in New York and lead author of a paper appearing in Medical Care in 2006, a journal published by the American Public Health Association claimed that "...patients can live average 24 years, if they pay $385,000."
But there are legions of "HIV-positive" individuals who have escaped the State's reporting systems as well, who have never taken or who refused to take "HIV" tests or anti-retrovirals, and who also have lived for 24 years since the beginning of the AIDS era. The self-reported reasons for their disease-free and drug-free survival has been amply documented on documentaries that have won awards such as Special Jury Prize at the AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival (e.g. "The Other Side of AIDS").
In 2006, a nationwide team of AIDS researchers led by doctors Benigno Rodriguez and Michael Lederman of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland disputed the value of viral load tests-a standard used since 1996 to predict when progression to AIDS would occur in drug-naïve individuals, and to grant approval to new AIDS drugs, after their study of 2,800 HIV positives concluded that viral load measures failed in more than 90% of cases to predict or explain immune status (3):
“Viral load is only able to predict progression to disease in 4% to 6% of HIV-positives studied, challenging much of the basis for current AIDS science and treatment policy.”
And a major groundbreaking study affirms being "HIV-positive," by itself, is anything but a death sentence: Denmark's Dr. Nicolia Lohse, with seven co-investigators, published Jan. 16, 2007 in the Annals of Internal Medicine the status of every "HIV-positive" Denmark resident through the years 1995-2005. The study compared those "HIV-positive" to otherwise normal Danes, and tallied mortality of any cause, including drug overdose, accident, alcoholism, AIDS, etc. The study concluded that the life expectancy of Danes judged "HIV-positive" at age 25, taking the milder anti-viral drugs started in 2000, could expect another 39 years of life to age 64, compared to otherwise normal Dane life expectancy of 76.
What is even more striking in Lohse's charts is that 25% of those “HIV-positive” in the years' 2000-2005 cohort refused anti-viral drugs, yet had even lower mortality rates compared to the anti-“HIV” drug takers, the “HIV-positive” women refusing drug treatments in particular approaching a normal life span. Importantly, Lohse also states those "HIV-positives" typically had high health risks such as smoking, alcohol and other drug addiction, so it should hardly be surprising those “HIV-positive” would have a shorter life span than fellow Danes (who have less alcohol-related accidents, drug overdoses, or lung cancer/heart mortality).
Lohse's Denmark study, as do countless others, demolishes the entrenched belief that having "HIV" antibodies demands anti-viral treatments. In fact the opposite is true, as his study clearly documented the extraordinarily high mortality of those taking the earlier anti-virals like AZT. Again, these results emphatically contradict the belief that "HIV-positives” progress to deadly disease, unless anti-viral/retroviral drugs are taken for significant lengths of time.
In view of the Denmark study being published in January, 2007, in a major journal of wide readership and undoubtedly delivered to thousands of scientists' offices including the CDC and the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID), and also considering the low AIDS mortality enumerated for years in Europe's annual surveillance reports (available at the click of a mouse), the ignorance and continuance of big pharma-directed polices of the Global and U.S. health generals are appalling and unforgivable. As to the American press, their self-censoring of Europe's success (and Canada, Australia, and so on), and nonstop promoting of HIV hysteria, speaks for itself.
President Obama and Congressional leaders must demand of NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, having vainly been sent billions of dollars to understand "HIV," why he has not read Lohse’s study, or not learned from the other countries’ such as Germany's remarkable success over AIDS mortality.
The utter failure of NIAID cannot be tolerated for a day longer. For 20 years under Dr. Fauci, NIAID has directed hundreds of chemotherapeutic anti-HIV trials strictly limited to a first set of anti-viral/retroviral chemicals tested against a second set of toxic chemicals, without ever permitting a single true non-toxic placebo given to human subjects since the 1987 Fischl AZT trail, that was terminated prematurely, became un-blinded, had many sentences of medical records blacked out before the data was submitted due to a Freedom of Information Act Request. Patients in the AZT-treated arm were given transfusions to stay alive until all of them were placed on "the life saving medication" and eventually all died 3 years into the trail. (See John Lauritsen's books, 'The AIDS War; Propaganda, profiteering and genocide from the medical-industrial complex' (1993); and 'Poison by Prescription; The AZT Story' (1990); 'The AIDS Cult' (1997), and his essays entitled, 'AZT on Trial' (1987),
'AZT and Cancer' (1989),'The AIDS War' (1991), 'HIV Voodoo From Burroughs-Wellcome' (1991),
'FDA Has Second Thoughts on AZT' (1991),

The "Concorde" trial, a collaborative effort between researchers in the United Kingdom and in France, and the U.S. Veterans Administration's Study 298, both compared early and delayed AZT treatment, but the Concorde study researched asymptomatic patients at all CD4 levels, while the VA study included only symptomatic patients with CD4 levels of 200 to 500.
In 1992, The Veterans Affairs Co-operative Study Group reported that AZT disproportionately harmed Blacks and Hispanics, and provided no benefit to the quelling of advancing immune suppression in Caucasians, and harmed healthier subjects (early treated) more than persons considered to exhibit clinical symptoms of AIDS [JD Hamilton et. al. and the Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study Group. 'A controlled trial of early versus late treatment with zidovudine in symptomatic human immunodifficiency virus infection.' New England Journal of Medicine, 326: 437-434, 1992], and in 1994, the Concorde study, which was up until then the longest, largest, and most carefully controlled AZT trail reported:
"The results of Concorde do not encourage the early use of zidovudine in symptom-free HIV-infected adults. They also call into question the uncritical use of CD4 cell counts as a surrogate endpoint for assessment of benefit from long-term antiretroviral therapy" [Seligmann et al., Concorde: MRC/ANRS randomised double-blind controlled trial of immediate and deferred zidovudine in symptom-free HIV infection. Concorde Coordinating Committee. Lancet, Apr 9;343(8902):871-81, 1994].
The same kind of results obtained during these massive human drugging experiments was further emphasized after the first decade of HAART therapy where it was reported that:
Methods: We analyzed data from 22,217 treatment-naïve HIV-1-infected adults who had started HAART and were followed in one of 12 cohort studies. The probability of reaching 500 or less HIV-1 RNA copies per mL by 6 months, and the change in CD4 cell counts, were analyzed for patients starting HAART in 1995-96, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002-03. The primary endpoints were the hazard ratios for AIDS and for death from all causes in the first year of HAART, which were estimated using Cox regression.
Interpretation: Virological response after starting HAART improved over calendar years, but such improvement has not translated into a decrease in mortality. [The Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) cohort Collaboration-www.thelancet.com Vol 368, 451-58, August 5, 2006].
This comes as no surprise. Dr. Fauci's AIDS promotionalism began even before the AIDS era when he claimed that immune suppression is caused by doctors!
(The term AIDS promotionalism or Promoters of AIDS is being used here to indicate pharmaceutically myopic doctors like Fauci, who continue to advance the “HIV”=AIDS=Drug=Death paradigm against all the evidence which is obtainable in the mainstream scientific literature such as The Lancet, and the New England Journal of Medicine). Doctors cause immune suppression, Fauci claimed, if they subject their patients to multiple transfusions, transplant surgery, or corticosteroid administration, as these drugs and treatments can non-specifically induce AIDS-specific drops in T-cells with high frequency (4, 5). Fibrosis of the lung due to heavy crack cocaine use also was considered a potent inducer of the AIDS-defining illness PCP, by Fauci and many other “doctors” before the AIDS era. The expense to the American taxpayer of this iatrogenic carnage cannot even be calculated, but it would amount to a staggering amount of money that could by itself restore the American economy.
Perhaps reminder of a similar health catastrophe in recent history might here be presented in order to illustrate the potential magnitude of continuing to support the widespread drugging of persons throughout the world without sufficient time and study to determine how these rank poisons and toxins could affect millions of people.
What a difference it would make for our society and world under the Obama administration to direct public health policy not predicated upon failed and dangerous Pharma-doctor-prescribed and junk-science-based pogroms like those of the past that were predicated on fears, racism, homophobia, sexism, faith-based recommendations, or worse, as it was the case with The Church of Medicine's love affair with DES:
National Academy. Dr. Bern had exposed the dangers of DES (diethylstilboestrol)- a widely used synthetic oestrogen (Modified from DES action of Australia http://www.desaction.org.au/aboutdes.htm):
“Synthesised in 1938, laboratory studies showed animals administered DES developed mammary cancer, with high rates of fetal death, sterility and cancer in the offspring. Despite this, DES was approved for use in humans in 1940. Initially used to treat late pregnancy complications, by the mid 1940s the use was widened to include the prevention of miscarriage, i.e. for prophylactic use by women who had a history of miscarriage. However by 1949 DES was seen as making "a normal gestation more normal". By the early 1950s DES was being prescribed and marketed as a general pregnancy "tonic", mixed with vitamins and recommended for all pregnant women to ensure healthier pregnancies with "bigger and stronger" babies. A 1953 study showed, to the surprise of the researchers, that the DES-treated group experienced higher rates of miscarriage, premature labour and neonatal death than the control group, and the 1953 Dieckmann study was ignored. DES was already entrenched as standard obstetric clinical practice. Also by this stage DES was being aggressively promoted by the drug companies for use in all pregnancies. In 1971 it was discovered that DES caused clear cell cancer of the vagina/cervix in DES daughters. DES was thus proven to be carcinogenic in humans. Regardless of these findings, it was continued to be used as a treatment for acne, to dry up breast milk, as a contraceptive like a morning after pill, as hormone replacement therapy during menopause, as a treatment for "tall girls" to stunt their adult height, and to fatten up livestock to increase profits.”
“In 1981 landmark publication, 'Developmental Effects of DES in Pregnancy’ was edited by Arthur L Herbst and Howard A. Bern, which brought together leading experimental researchers and expert clinicians on DES. In an experiment on mice, Herbst and Bern showed that in later life, the immune system of DES exposed mice was suddenly compromised. Preliminary studies of DES daughters in the early 1980s indicated that DES exposure is linked with immune system problems, including a higher incidence of autoimmune disease, such as asthma, arthritis, diabetes, systemic lupus and thyroid dysfunction.”
Lohse's recent study, The Concorde and Veterans Affairs studies, and many others in the peer-reviewed literature that have published similar results, have drawn back this forbidden-placebo curtain with spectacular life expectancy revelations. Denmark's study, buttressed by countries' successes already enumerated, demands an American about face, to employ the scientific method not permitted for two decades. A thorough review by President Obama is also relevant in the most fundamental fiscal way, as spending on AIDS now comprises almost 1 percent of the entire federal budget, and at this point constitutes a complete waste of taxpayer monies, and worse.
As for Africa, news stories have leaked out from WHO officials admitting AIDS numbers had been greatly exaggerated beginning in the 1980's, and even most medical "experts" in the U.S. never have realized that most all African AIDS cases came from the "Bangui Definition," created in 1985 by WHO and CDC officials meeting in the Central African Republic capital city of Bangui 23 years ago.
This Bangui definition stated an African AIDS case was anybody having the three health conditions of a fever, weight loss, and diarrhea over the period of 30 days (or a cough instead of fever), requiring no medical tests whatsoever that would, if taken, typically be diagnosed as malaria, tuberculosis or scores of other identifiable, treatable diseases.
Instead, virtually all African disease mortality was wrongly piled together as "AIDS" and still is.
Until recently, in Africa, and due to a lack of medical infrastructure in many areas, persistent war in other regions, and the ravages of that continue because of Apartheid in South Africa, positive "HIV-AIDS" diagnoses have been made traditionally without the use of serological testing altogether, if the treating physician felt that a particular case of persistent diarrhea or persistent coughing or tuberculosis exhibited by their patients appeared to be an AIDS case. In addition, many of the cases of "AIDS" in Africa that the WHO uses for their dire estimates of 40 million infected were extrapolated from maternity clinics or with non-validated rapid tests, and in many cases collected only from where women are tested, and projected onto the rest of the population, who weren't pregnant (pregnancy itself is a known reason for false positives, according to the CDC). Therefore, the AIDS-defining illnesses may be different among Africans than among non-Africans, may differ among African males and females, and are different among those tested by the Red Cross, from those tested by the CDC. These differences in testing standards make it possible to test positive in the United States in the morning, and by flying to Canada and getting tested, one can test negative in the afternoon.
For twenty years, news stories, politicians, and drug companies exploited fear, promoting massive African AIDS cases that, in fact, never did exist, with "AIDS" cases bearing no relationship to immune deficiency caused by a virus. It is vital to further note that most of the $9.8 billion a year of U.S. tax dollars presently going to Africa (noted above) via PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief) is earmarked for the exact anti-viral drugs that have been causing the mortality of Americans the last 15 years, year after year, and with no solution in sight staying the present course.
But these facts have not deterred PEPFAR-in fact they have provided it's justification. Instead of critical examination of evidence, policies based on biblical rather than scientific evidence have been advanced. Noted and celebrated researchers such as Robert Bailey of the University of Illinois are given lavish praise for now promoting such ideas that all African males should be circumcised to prevent the spread of the dreaded "virus," "HIV." It is beyond belief and human reason that these pogroms based on these bizarre interpretations of reality continue to claim that Egyptian and Hebrew biblical practices such as circumcision has won out over pharmaceutical technologies, vaccines, microbicide campaigns, and breast feeding dissuasion campaigns designed to diminish Mother-To-Child Transmission of "HIV" (each of which except circumcision have been halted by various oversight and human protection committees recently due to their tendency to increase rather than decrease "HIV" incidence in these various African test populations). But a new AIDS ambassador might well ask if it is true if biblical approaches such as circumcision really reduces "HIV" incidence of African men in STD clinics typically presenting with multiple STD's and genital ulcers simply because AZT, HAART, microbicides, vaccines, breast feeding dissuasion campaigns, nevirapine, and condom crusades simply haven't worked, and bizarrely, have each except for circumcision have increased the level of morbidity in African "lab rats" before they were halted.
If you read Pasteur and believe in the “germ theory,” the failure to seroconvert to a positive “HIV” test result after 63 failed "HIV" vaccination trials which include even booster series (two or more vaccinations given sequentially) means that, the principles underlying immunology, biochemistry, genetics, epidemiology, virology, cell biology, pharmacology, neonatology, and cancer biology don’t apply to “HIV/AIDS,” or it means that the hypothesized "HIV” causation of “AIDS,” and the imagined molecular biological causal basis of AIDS and several other "molecular diseases," whose science the AIDS era was based upon, have generated catastrophic disasters that require our immediate attention so that we can revise these vehemently defended deadly, and expensive Public Health policies that continue to ruin the lives of millions.
It is not accidental, that all of these "molecular diseases" that are in question are those syndromes, and their molecular markers, that have had some connection with cancer, and which have been blamed on such processes as supernatural abilities to mutate, “oncogenes,” “retroviruses,” the enzyme reverse transcriptase, and the concept of “slow viruses.”
Proof of the logic of this statement in the context of "HIV/AIDS" is simply realized by considering the contradiction regarding how some 33 million people in the world that are said to be "infected" and walking around with specific molecules of “HIV” in their bodies, or with molecules generated by the body’s response to “HIV,” while only 24/741 or 19/672 “HIV” vaccinated individuals seroconverted after vaccination in the recent STEP trials. Those few who appeared to have produced antibodies to “HIV” after vaccination, or even after two vaccinations as the recently aborted “HIV” STEP trials demonstrated, and in the 62 prior "HIV" vaccine trials, couldn’t even show appropriate T-cell responses in most cases as evidence that something foreign had been injected into their bodies. The control group not given “HIV” molecules had less “seroconversion” in response to their control injection, while the “HIV-component” vaccinated showed slightly more “HIV-positive” signals, but the differences between the two groups weren’t significant. But to erect a smoke screen to cover this massive blunder, it was a result interpreted and fed to the press by the promoters of AIDS as evidence that the “HIV-vaccinated” went out for some reason and had more “risky” behaviors than the control vaccinated group, which is why the trial was aborted, or that they had more susceptibility to the worthless adenoviral vector used as a carrier, or that they had “more or fatter” cellular targets for “HIV” to “infect.”
It should be emphasized that this Step Trail result is why one of the AIDS Czars, Anthony Fauci, cancelled the so-called upcoming PAVE “HIV” vaccine trial, until the scientific basis for the “HIV/AIDS” paradigm is re-examined. The failure of another large millions of dollar AIDSVAX vaccine trail a few years ago, also forced Robert Gallo to publish in the form of damage control letters in the world famous Science magazine, that a sound rationale for future vaccine trials is needed before trials should continue, and before the public’s faith in vaccines and AIDS paradigm (and gargantuan AIDS funding) is undermined by repeated vaccine trial failures. Dr. Gallo even compared the failure of the STEP trial to 'The Challenger disaster.'
Considering the failure of no less than the 62 previous “HIV” vaccine trials that are on the record (and which can be provided upon request to the reader), and the “Challenger-sized” disaster claimed for the recently aborted STEP trial that was discontinued because it increased, rather than decreased the rate of acquiring an “HIV-positive” test results among the vaccinated, isn't it about time that we heed Dr. Fauci’s and Dr. Gallo’s suggestions to re-examine the entire basis of “HIV/AIDS” "science?" Or should we continue to reward failure after failure, as was horrifically demonstrated a few years ago when the promoters of AIDS asked for, and received a $870 million dollar taxpayer-provided gift (Donald Francis's VAXGEN) to dump their failed "HIV" AIDSVAX vaccine program, and then manufacture an even more problematic, ineffective, and dangerous anthrax vaccine in the name of National Security? Although many of the 63 recorded "HIV" vaccine trials were smaller than these colossal disasters and wasting of our tax dollars just mentioned, they do add up, and then often usher in even more no-bid contracts totaling in the billions for continued failure.
The available evidence suggests that the simplest explanation for the vaccination failures and other failures of the “HIV=AIDS=Death paradigm is that the injected components of "HIV," and the antibody responses to these components, have nothing to do with a virus that is foreign to the human body, or infectious, or which should be aggressively treated with toxic drugs. This evidence also suggests that there are clearly identifiable reasons to explain why one of the leading causes of AIDS death today in the United States of America are iatrogenic (doctor-induced) deaths, and that the leading cause of death among “AIDS patients” has come to be liver failure, heart attacks, gastroenteritis, anemias, kidney failure, infectious diseases that form bacterial biofilms, and other non-AIDS-defining syndromes.
The slippery slope of institutionalized racism and homophobia, and what are the probable causes of “HIV?”
It is easy to find fault with Public Health policies, but can the iatrogenic and pharmaceutical carnage that is currently occurring in the name of "HIV/AIDS" be replaced by a more rational science, and effective public policy? As with any science based on an assumption, it is that assumption, and typically the origin of that assumption, that is baseless. For example, a likely explanation of the origin of “HIV” comes not from notions of monkey or ape-to human transmission of a virus due to Africans smearing monkey blood on their loins for sexual orgies as published in The Lancet and other top journals at the beginning of the AIDS era (6), nor was "HIV" likely transmitted to African children or their parents by playing with or by eating dead monkeys or chimps as "bush-meat" because their parents couldn't find or afford toys or food (7), or by Africans in Cameroon building cities 125 years ago and having “close associations with chimps” as was published this last October 2008 in Nature and news-flashed around the world. As recently as this last year, for instance, and in no less a journal than Nature we find that, unfortunately, Western racism continues:
“2008, October. News Flash: “HIV/AIDS Originated 125 Years Ago, Spread from Chimps to Humans…”
“TUCSON, Arizona, October 2, 2008 (ENS) - New research indicates that the most pervasive global strain of HIV began spreading among humans as early as 1884, suggesting that growing urbanization in colonial Africa through
the early 1900s set the stage for the current HIV/AIDS pandemic. More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981, and at least 30 million people are living with the disease today.”
“The estimated period of origin, much earlier than the previous estimate of 1930, coincides with the establishment and rise of urban centers in West-Central Africa where the pandemic HIV strain, HIV-1 group M, emerged.”
“The growth of cities and associated high-risk behaviors may have been the key change that allowed the virus to flourish, scientists believe.”
“The research, led by Michael Worobey, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona in Tucson, was co-sponsored by the National Institute Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. The findings are published in the current issue of the journal Nature."
“Research shows that the HIV virus spread from chimps to humans in Southeastern Cameroon. Worobey said the resulting HIV epidemic amonghumans correlates to the growth of urban centers near this area, principally the present-day city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which began as a colonial center for Belgium.”
What research? From flawed and highly suspect comparisons of chimp and human "HIV" sequences? Although out of political correctness this 2008 racist Nature-published interpretation of "HIV" spreading from chimps to humans in the vicinity of Cameroon isn't as clearly spelled out as it was when Robert Gallo and Max Essex claimed that their first human and mistaken “cancer retrovirus,” "HTLV-1," was spread during the "slave trade," and which according to them also was associated with black people and monkeys during the transcontinental forced slavery and transport of 100 million Africans and monkeys more than a Century ago. It is far more likely because of modern molecular evidence, that “HIV” originated not from Africans, African Americans, Haitians, African-non-human primate “associations,” or from anyone else harboring a lot of melanocytes or who lives close to non-human primates ("HTLV-1 was the so-called first human cancer retrovirus upon whose isolation and epidemiological techniques and assumptions the "HTLV-III/"HIV" paradigm was based).
It was in this context, and disturbingly, that HTLV-III (later called “HIV-1") was introduced at a press conference given by Margaret Heckler and Robert Gallo, as being “a variant of a known human cancer virus,” and it was announced that “HTLV-III” was “the probable cause of AIDS.” In May, and in the months following the press release, four papers from Dr. Gallo’s laboratory claiming that the HTLV-III retrovirus was the cause of AIDS were published in Science. These are the 4 papers that established that “HIV’s” signature was present in 1/3 of “bona-fide AIDS patients” rather than associated with serum samples from a few ARC and one Kaposi’s patients (as Montagnier and Barre-Sinoussi’s work the year before had claimed), and these papers constituted the experimental basis of the hypothesis that “HIV” causes “AIDS.”
The initial description and press release by Margaret Heckler of “HIV” as a known variant of a cancer virus in retrospect was perhaps unfortunate, because as stated by Gallo and Montagnier in a 2003 New England Journal of Medicine article (Gallo RC., Montagnier LM. The discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS. NEJM Vol. 349:2283-2285, December 2003), the molecular signature that was associated with “HIV,” was derived from the same techniques used to characterize the molecular signatures of Gallo’s previous putative cancer viruses, “HTLV-I” and “HTLV-II.” But the team claimed that “HTLV-III (“HIV”) was distinctly different from Gallo’s leukemia-associated retroviral signatures of “HTLV-I” and “HTLV-II.”
The patent and intellectual property issues of the U.S. and French governments surrounding the creation of an “AIDS” blood test to protect the blood supply also proved to be an unfortunate series of confusing and hateful events that made possible accusations against the American-French collaboration that virtually insured suspicion of the “HIV=AIDS” hypothesis, and served, it could be argued, to derail progress toward defining AIDS.
Gallo becomes a shepherd and scientific peer review is avoided:
Despite an initial claimed concordance between the “LAV” and “HIV” signatures in isolates from what were then defined as ARC or AIDS patients, and by accident, a different contaminated isolate was then sent from The Pasteur Institute to Bethesda, and it was said to have “infected” the cultures of the Gallo group, Robin Weiss’s group in England, and at least several other laboratories. Research in these labs was thus confounded for at least the next year (Robert Gallo, personal communication), and despite the fact that Gallo shepherded through the 1983 Barre-Sinnousi et al. paper through to publication because it didn’t pass initial review, the American-French collaboration and patent on the blood test was to be plagued by numerous accusations of stealing, deception, misconduct, and fraud. Shepherding of papers occurs frequently among cooperating scientific groups, and as such, such papers are not rigorously “peer-reviewed.” The interests of the U.S. and French governments regarding the patenting of an a blood test, fear of contagion, religious views regarding morality, sex, and drugs, and politics began an era that perhaps should be characterized as the most politicized disease in history. And even though it was finally concluded that there was no misconduct found in either the Gallo/Papovic case, the numerous accusations, and the lengthy and costly investigations of misconduct and blame only served to polarize those involved and those critical of them, and the charges of wrong doing only fueled bitter rivalry and criticism that has lasted for more than two decades.
The Gonda letter said there was no “HIV,” HTLV-I,” “HTLV-II,” or “HTLV-III in the Papovic/Gallo samples:
The molecular markers that became known as “HIV” in isolates that Montagnier’s and Gallo’s group tied to a clinical syndrome in bone-fide AIDS patients and one putative ARC patient as the Pasteur had intensively studied, constituted a strong motive for many to pursue in depth, the nature and meaning of that molecular signature. In November, of 1984, the Pasteur Institute investigators published the genetic sequence of “LAV.” Many, however, were critical of the strength of Montagnier’s and Gallo’s correlation between “HIV’s” molecular markers and the disease syndromes to which these signatures were associated because of documents that became available during the numerous investigations such as the following, by the Head of the Electron Microscopy Lab at the NCI. It is significant because it was apparently sent one month before the Heckler-Gallo Press release and the Papovic/Gallo et al., publications in Science, as provided by the investigative medical journalist, Janine Roberts:

Dear Mica
I am sending you 4 extra copies of results requested by Betsy Read. She said Dr. Gallo wanted these micrographs for publication because they con-tained HTLV particles. If this assumption is based on the cultures being antigen positive, I would like to point out that the “particles” in micro-
graph 0905 are in debris of a degenerated cell. No other extracellular “virus-like particles” were observed free between cells anywhere in the pellet. The small extracellular vesicles in 0904 are at least 50% smaller than HTLV mature particles seen in type I, II, or III. Again, these vesi-cles can be found in any cell pellet. I do not believe any of the particles
photographed are HTLV I, II, or III.

Gallo’s “36% Causality:” “HIV” causes AIDS!
An articulate analysis of these and other criticisms have been recently presented in retrospect by The New AIDS Review (http://www.newaidsreview.org/blog/index.phphas), especially the data presented in Gallo May 4th Science paper (Science May 4 2004, Frequent detection and isolation of cytopathic retrovirsuses (HTLV-III) from patients with AIDS and at risk for AIDS…") about which the Gonda letter preceded:
“Gallo didn't find HIV in 48 out of samples from 48 AIDS patients, as he keeps implying. He found whatever he took as the signature or signal for it in 26 out of 72 samples of AIDS patients, which is rather different 36%. The rest of the 48 came from pre-AIDS patients (who may have had nothing but a cold) and three mothers (who were perfectly well) and 1 clinically well gay man out of 22 (who later developed AIDS). 119 in total from which 48 scored positive.”
As reviewed by Michael Geiger, Executive Director of HEAL San Diego (Health Education AIDS Liason):
“Robert Gallo's claim that HIV is the cause of AIDS was first put forward on the basis of four papers he published in Science; May 4 1984 issue. (Popovic M, Sarngadharan MG, Read E, et al. Detection, Isolation, and Continuous Production of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and Pre-AIDS. Science 1984;224:497-500.; Gallo RC, Salahuddin SZ, Popovic M, et al. Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS. Science 1984;224:500-502; Schupbach J, Popovic M, Gilden RV, et al. Serological analysis of a Subgroup of Human T-Lymphotrophic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) Associated with AIDS. Science 1984;224:503-505; Sarngadharan MG, Popovic M,Bruch L, et al. Antibodies Reactive to Human T-Lymphotrophic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) in the Serum of Patients with AIDS. Science 1984:224:506-508).”
“A press conference at the time, arranged and conducted by Margaret Heckler, then Secretary of Health and Human Services for the Reagan administration, claimed that his work in the soon-to-be-published papers had shown that HIV was the "probable" cause of AIDS.”
“The New York Times (EIS-Epidemiology Intelligence Service trainee) Lawrence K. Altman) reported the news of the claim but his article contained six or seven caveats to the effect that the claim might not bear out.”
“When the papers were published for all to see, it turned out to be insufficient to demonstrate the claim. Gallo had found the virus in too few of the AIDS patients with actual AIDS symptoms - only 26 out of 72, or 36% - to substantiate his claim. He was unable to demonstrate the presence of the virus in two thirds - 64 per cent - of the AIDS patients sampled.”
Here are the figures as shown in Table 1 of the paper "Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and Risk for AIDS", Robert C. Gallo, Syed Z. Salahuddin, Mikulas Popovic, et al, Science, May 4, 1984: 224:500-502:
Group Diagnosed: Number positive for HTLV-III/Number tested/Percent positive
Pre-AIDS?: 18/ 21 85.7% !!!!!
Clinically normal mothers of juvenile AIDS patients: 3/47 5.0%
Juvenile AIDS: 3/ 8 37.5%
Adult AIDS with Kaposi's sarcoma: 13/ 43 30.2% !!!!!
Adult AIDS with opportunistic infections: 10/ 21 47.6% !!!!!!
Clinically normal homosexual donors: 1/ 22 4.5%
Clinically normal heterosexual donors: 0/115 0%
Or as noted in the article:
“As summarized in Table 1, we found HTLV-III in 18 of 21 samples from patients with “pre-AIDS,” from three of four clinically normal mothers of juvenile AIDS patients, 13 of 43 adult AIDS patients with Kaposi's sarcoma, and 10 of 21 adult AIDS patients with opportunistic infections.”
This result partly veiled the stark failure of the sampling to identify persuasively HIV as a cause of AIDS. For the sum total of AIDS patients with symptoms of AIDS - the groups in bold in the table above - was that in ONLY 26 (3 +13 +10) out of 72 (8 + 43 + 21) cases was the Gallo lab able to show HTLV-III virus detected and isolated.
26 of 72, or 36%, was insufficient to demonstrate that HIV was the plausible cause of the AIDS symptoms or their underlying immune deficiency. If anything, the testing demonstrated that HTL-III was certainly not a plausible cause of AIDS.
Michael Gottlieb, the first to describe AIDS in LA in his 1981 paper, found cytomegalovirus in 100% of his patients, and Montagnier’s Patient One also had cytomegalovirus, but Gottlieb wisely concluded that CMV was “opportunistic” and not “causal,” while Montagnier published that “LAV” was “associated with” and not causal, despite his quite acceptance of the Nobel a few months ago.
But Gallo concluded: ‘These studies of HTLV-III isolates from patients with AIDS and pre-AIDS and from healthy individuals at risk for AIDS provide strong evidence of a causative involvement of the virus in AIDS.’
Thus contrary to subsequent headlines the Science paper did not state firmly that HTLV-III (later renamed Human Immunodeficiency Virus) was the cause or even a "probable" cause of AIDS, only that there was evidence of a "causative involvement” of the virus in AIDS.
In another paper of the four (Sarngadharan MG, Popovic M,Bruch L, et al. Antibodies Reactive to Human T-Lymphotrophic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) in the Serum of Patients with AIDS. Science 1984:224:506-508), however, the claim was bolder:
‘The data presented here and in the accompanying reports suggest that HTLV-III is the primary cause of AIDS.’
The low figure of only 36% of AIDS patients with symptoms that had HTLV-III virus present was excused in an accompanying news report in a Science Research News column by Jean Marx as possibly due to deterioration of the samples.
When the investigators calculated the percentage, they used the total of all the AIDS samples sent to them, even though some had deteriorated to the point where they were of questionable value for analysis.
The paper itself had noted:
“The incidence of virus isolated reported here probably underestimates its true incidence since many tissue specimens were not received or handled under what we now recognize as ideal conditions. This is particularly so for the samples received from late stage AIDS patients.”
That is to say, 26 of the 72 with AIDS tested positive for the virus, 22 of the 47 who did not have AIDS (asymptomatic or pre-AIDS- i.e mild and non-AIDS specific symptoms), suggesting that HTLV-III positivity was a poor guide as to who would develop AIDS symptoms. Later, this problem was solved by counting as AIDS only those who were HTLV-III positive, a practice that continues to this day, and cements the circular logic that:
“HIV-positive result+pneumonia=AIDS-----treatment with antiretrovirals and bactrim.
“HIV-negative result+pneumonia=pneumonia=treatment for 28 days with bactrim alone.
To put it even more bluntly, the paper’s landmark finding is the reason why Gallo is forced to leave the number “forty-eight” standing out there in his letter all by itself, not saying 48 out of how many, because in fact he found the virus in blood from 48 individuals out of 119, and 22 of the 48 did not have AIDS, rather than all of them being “individuals who had AIDS.
It also should be emphasized here that “HIV” did not emerge from a Special Virus Program or U.S. government conspiracy for population control or for germ warfare. "HIV" did not crawl out from a monkey or chimp kidney culture used during the manufacture the hepatitis B vaccine or other vaccines, and certainly it didn’t occur during these “close associations” between Africans and non-human primates that Gallo and Essex like to imagine for each “slow-virus” these “slow virologists” like to invent.
The probable cause of “HIV” is….a retroid:
Recent studies in gene research and molecular biology suggest that the so-called specific markers of “HIV” are produced by our own non-specific endogenous DNA sequences called retroelements or "retroids."
A retroid is a special kind of mobile gene sequence that has been associated with diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and with normal biological functions involving the placenta (8) and umbilical cord, as exhibited by the cord-derived lymphocytes Montagnier used to propagate so-called Patient One’s “LAV-infection” In Vitro, and the accompanying electron micrographs of viral like particles. It is known that these retroid sequences make cellular proteins that are expressed by normal uninfected (healthy) yeast, insects, and a variety of mammals (9), 50% of healthy dogs (10), "uninfected" rhesus monkeys, chimps, and humans (11).
Retroelements are now known to be important sequences for telomere replication at the tips of normal and cancer cell chromosomes (12). Once claimed by AIDS scientists to be a specific molecular component required for "HIV" replication, retroids and specifically reverse transcriptase(RT) are now seen frequently in market magazines concerning biotechnology
stocks (13, 14) in the context of normal, non-pathological situations, despite what AIDS promoters like Robert Gallo, Max Essex, Anthony Fauci, Mark Wainberg, John Moore, Julie Gerberding, the CDC, and the thousands of other AIDS promoters continue to claim about the specificity of RT, p24, and the other mistaken exogenous proteins or glycoproteins used as a surrogate markers for detecting a supposed exogenous retrovirus, “HIV.”
p24, a protein once thought to be the unique capsid protein that supposedly makes up the proteinaceous shell of “HIV,” is now known to be expressed in the thymus glands of "HIV-negative" children (15). An "HIV" positive result can also occur simply when some infants are exposed to the proteins in cow's or goat's milk (16). Two-percent of people will test positive transiently after the flu vaccine (17), or hepatitis B vaccine (18), and as mentioned before, normal pregnant women are known to frequently test false positive (19), as do individuals who test under conditions of physiological or extreme emotional stress caused by disease, drugs, oxidation, malnutrition, a fatal diagnosis, and because of dozens of other factors or reasons (20), but paradoxically, not after specific "HIV" sequences or proteins are directly injected into "HIV-negative" "HIV-vaccine recipients after 63 failed “HIV” vaccine trials.
That these endogenous human genetic elements exist but yet are ill-defined has been shown again and again to be likely from studies on presumptively named "HERV's" (Human Endogenous Retro-Viruses) such as the "Phoenix viruses" (presumptively named because nobody has shown that endogenous
infectious "retroviruses" exist). "HERV's" (viral-like particles that look like "HIV" virus particles are supposed to look) can be produced by infecting (transfecting in Petri dishes) cells with certain sequences of DNA or RNA (21), which then are replicated and packaged by the cells into virus-like "enveloped" particles that look identical to "HIV." Modern
analyses of the human genome database (which presumably wasn't derived from anyone infected with "HIV") have revealed more than 120, 000 full-length retroids containing (once thought to be) specific viral reverse transcriptase transcripts (22).
Although the promoters of "HIV=AIDS" are always saying the "HIV virus's" reverse transcriptase sequence and other parts of it's genome are mutating every time a patient dies while on “life saving” anti-retroviral drugs that supposedly target this and other "HIV-specific" gene sequence products, genomic analyses show that these retroid reverse transcriptase elements are among the most stable transcripts that make up these retroids. In other words, amongst gene sequence analysts, some of whom are developing this hypothesis instead of trying to pin the origin of "HIV" on black people's association with monkeys or apes in Cameroon, or elsewhere, it is the sequence stability rather than the instability or mutability of the reverse transcriptase sequence itself that make these 120,000 retro-element sequences possible to classify as distinct DNA sequences (22), while at the same time, the AIDS Establishment points to the mutability of these same sequences as the reason why they have failed to find a stable target in "the AIDS virus," or why they believe that many viruses ultimately derive from Africans, or black peoples (West Nile was "isolated" from a healthy Ugandan woman who had a cold, Hepatitis B was isolated from a black Australian Aboriginal gentleman, the 6 "HIV-associated cancers, ultimately came from non-human primates through Africans, etc).
In conclusion, these facts are added to the political-economic inevitabilities of The Church of Modern Medicine’s Dark-Ages view of Mankind, the formula for disaster becomes especially toxic. This view isn't that Man is now viewed and treated as if he is inherently sinful, but instead, Man is viewed as inherently physically sick, and in need of medicine, doctors, and medical care from the moment of birth to death.
In the case of “HIV/AIDS,” it all becomes heartbreaking and life-ending. It isn’t just restless leg syndrome, mind you, or the suggestion that our children who are wildly obese begin their statin regimens, or prozac if they are aggressive or moody. And it isn’t that the CDC wants all infants and children to get 20 vaccines or ban our children from entering schools, or charge their parents $500.00 dollars/day until they vaccinate, as what happened to mostly Black parents in New Jersey recently. You will be convicted of murder if you don’t tell folks “your status.”
For “HIV-positives,” no less than scarlet letters, or tattoos, have been suggested. These people are not human. They are dehumanized, and this is a difficult thing for people like us (and probably you) to understand At a minimum, it should be stated clearly that after knowing many of these brave souls during the past 25 years, words are lacking for sure to properly convey the extent of their dehumanization due to the stigma of AIDS.
Let it be expressed this way: “HIV-positives” have no basis for believing they deserve human rights or that they are actually human beings. They can’t travel or enter the U.S. without great hardship. Their doctors won’t even touch their breast cancer biopsies, and will run out of the examining room (as in the Audrey Serrano case and many others). As the German philosopher Nietzsche once described it, these folks are "undermenchen, " that really have no business living amongst "ubermenchen" (underman versus overman), and they should be identified, and then “weeded out.”
The pure and proud institutionalized racisim and homophobia that emerges from such a belief system is no different than what the Nazi's achieved: "infected" or “defective people” eventually should be sterilized or weeded out of the gene pool completely through various eugenics pogroms.
They shouldn't be allowed to reproduce or pass on their "infections" or defects. These individuals will eventually include, the mentally and emotionally "different,"
as well as homosexuals, criminals, Africans, Hispanics, Jews, Muslims, Zorastrians, Amish, “HIV-positives,” perhaps pianists someday, and other groups that may be deemed “high risk.”
Even when there is no illness, but simply a molecular signature or marker detected by the medical establishment, these people should not be allowed to reproduce or pass their "infection" to others without facing criminal charges and incarceration. The people themselves have no worth, as you see them come into
your examination office. It's easy to convince them of this logic, and continuously reinforce it, when mandated by The State. Have they been "compliant" you ask? Do they “know their status?” Do you know your status?
Meanwhile, even while experiencing perfect health but now carrying the State Government-reportable "HIV-infection," the patient begins the long struggle with paralyzing feelings of isolation and violence against them, that they feel is directed at them. Anger, pain, and great paranoia are commonly described. They have a high suicide rate as they internalize these feelings, because who would wish to live under these circumstances?
If it is a child of a parent who "is infected" (despite a 60% sero-reversion rate after 9-18 months after birth), the parents can be held for criminal negligence unless they submit to having the children drugged to death, or to the extent that neurological demise develops or drug-induced diseases, as in the case of the more than 300 orphans drugged through g-tubes with 7 black box label drugs at New York’s Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC), and elsewhere (Chicago's Northwestern Hospital), or, when many of them are taken away from the natural parents or legal guardians to be made compliant with the drug regimens, after which only about 80 deaths were eventually admitted in one trial (at ICC).
Mothers and infants who are “HIV-positive” are dissuaded from bonding during the time of birth, and parents are brow beaten and threatened by The State in many cases to force their infant to imbibe black-box-label drugs through forced administration or through surgically-implanted g-tubes with drugs that have been shown to be able to induce brain abnormalities, liver failure, stunted growth, and death. To do otherwise is, irresponsible.
Why not predicate these global policies upon proper science and honest empirical assessments of truly promising programs as advocated by Doctors Without Borders, as opposed to the pharma-directed and iatrogenic perversions of science that have and are still occurring among The Church of Modern Medicine, politicians, the media, and a highly dishonest and self-promoting bunch of pharma and foundation-backed scientists like John Moore of Cornell's Medical college? One example of such a promising program should suffice, and also, should guide the future Global AIDS Coordinator, whomever this person will be now that Dybul has been "relieved." Here are a few segments from a story that recently appeared on 60 minutes:
DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS NEEDS MONEY FOR PLUMPYNUT: SAY CHILDREN NEED FOOD, NOT DRUGS:
Oct. 21, 2007. Doctors Without Borders Briefing Paper: Food Is Not Enough: African children need food, not drugs (See the video free at:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/19/60minutes/main3386661.shtml).
Plumpynut is cheap, nutritious and needs no refrigeration. It is saving starving children in the developing world and could save more … if there were more of it.
You've probably never heard a good news story about malnutrition, but you’re about to. Every year, malnutrition kills five million children -- that's one child every six seconds. But now, the Nobel Prize-winning relief group "Doctors Without Borders" says it finally has something that can save millions of these children.
It's cheap, easy to make and even easier to use. What is this miraculous cure? As CNN's Anderson Cooper reports, it's a ready-to-eat, vitamin-enriched concoction called "Plumpynut," an unusual name for a food that may just be the most important advance ever to cure and prevent malnutrition.
"It's a revolution in nutritional affairs," says Dr. Milton Tectonidis, the chief nutritionist for Doctors Without Borders.
"Now we have something. It is like an essential medicine. In three weeks, we can cure a kid that is looked like they're half dead. We can cure them just like an antibiotic. It’s just, boom! It's a spectacular response," Dr. Tectonidis says.
"It's the equivalent of penicillin, you’re saying?" Cooper asks.
"For these kids, for sure," the doctor says.
No kids need it more than a group of children 60 Minutes saw in Niger, a desperately poor country in West Africa, where child malnutrition is so widespread that most mothers have watched at least one of their children die.
Why are so many kids dying? Because they can't get the milk, vitamins and minerals their young bodies need. Mothers in these villages can't produce enough milk themselves and can't afford to buy it. Even if they could, they can't store it -- there’s no electricity, so no refrigeration. Powdered milk is useless because most villagers don't have clean water. Plumpynut was designed to overcome all these obstacles.
Plumpynut is a remarkably simple concoction: it is basically made of peanut butter, powdered milk, powdered sugar, and enriched with vitamins and minerals. It tastes like a peanut butter paste. It is very sweet, and because of that kids cannot get enough of it.
The formula was developed by a nutritionist. It doesn't need refrigeration, water, or cooking; mothers simply squeeze out the paste. Many children can even feed themselves. Each serving is the equivalent of a glass of milk and a multivitamin.
Niger has become Plumpynut's proving ground. A daily dose costs about $1; small factories mix it here and in three other African countries. Tectonidis says other companies could make similar products wherever children need them.
"There's many countries in Africa now saying, 'We want a factory. We want a factory.' Well let's give it to them," he says. "We just have to focus on these areas. We don’t have to feed the whole world. We have to go for the jugular. Where are they dying? Where are they wasted? That’s where we have to intervene. If you feed them well until they're two or three years old it's won. They're healthy, they can get a healthy life. If you miss that window, it's finished."
Normally a children's hospital 60 Minutes visited would have more patients than beds. But now, thanks to Plumpynut, it has empty beds. Dr. Susan Shepherd, a pediatrician from Butte, Mont., runs Doctors Without Borders in Niger.
She says children that would have been hospitalized in the past can now be treated at home. "The reason we can do that is because we can give children Plumpynut here in the ambulatory center, and they take a week’s ration home. Moms treat their children at home and come back every week for a weight check," Dr. Shepherd explains.
CBS) If Plumpynut is the answer, how come kids are still dying?
"The answer is getting to kids earlier," Shepherd says. "Once children are as sick as she is, Plumpynut is not gonna save her."
Rashida was buried in a nearby cemetery. The grave digger, Salifu Ibrahim, told 60 Minutes he used to dig graves for about seven children a day, but now, on most days, he digs only one.
Asked why he thinks fewer children are dying, Ibrahim says, "It is God’s will."
God's will and Plumpynut.
Two years ago this region had the highest malnutrition rate in Niger. But now, after widespread use of the Plumpynut, it has the lowest. Dr. Shepherd told Cooper they’ll be able to treat more than 120,000 kids this year, up from just 10,000 children three years ago.
It's hard to imagine a less industrialized country than Niger. On a list of 177 developing countries, the United Nations ranked Niger dead last -- least developed. More than 70 percent of the people don’t know how to read. Most work in the fields and earn less than a dollar a day. Nomadic goat herders still roam this land -- their children and their kids travel by camel. Goats seem to be the main garbage disposal, but clearly the goats are falling behind. You can still spot a skinny guard dog, but we were told all the cats have been cooked.
In the countryside, where 85 percent of people live, girls start marrying as young as 11 years old. By the age of 15 most are wed, and by 16 most have already become mothers. The average woman here will give birth at least eight times in her lifetime. But largely because of malnutrition, one in five of their children will die before they reach the age of five. Of those who survive, half will have stunted growth and never reach full adult height.
But now, with Plumpynut, more children are surviving and thriving.
Doctors Without Borders is asking for more of this type of food. Their success in Niger proves, they say, that fortified ready-to-eat products, like Plumpynut, save children's lives. Dr. Tectonidis says if the United States and the European Union were willing to spend part of their food aid on this, more companies will start making it.
"Even by taking a miniscule proportion of the global food aid budget, they will have a huge impact, huge impact!" Tectonidis says. "We're not even asking for billions. It will solve so much of the underlying useless death. So we gotta do that now."
"It's useless death," Cooper remarks.
"Wasted life. Just totally wasted life for nothing. Because they don't have this product, little a bit of peanut butter with vitamins," Tectonidis says. "What a waste."

DEAR SENATOR OBAMA-THE CDC RECOMMENDS UNIVERSAL HIV TESTING WHICH IS A FAITH-BASED AND NOT A SCIENTIFIC RECOM-MENDATION.
Dear Mr. Obama,
You are a wonderful Senator and I will vote for you again. But you should be aware that Representative Mary Flowers' promotion of the CDC and IDPH recommendation for universal “HIV” screening of all Illinois citizens and indeed all Americans is a faith-based recommendation, and not a scientific one. Due to your recent media-projected "HIV" testing, you could be in grave if not mortal danger. I'd hate to see your life ruined, and the potential good you will do for Illinois and the nation thwarted, because of medical and scientific ignorance, and because of institutionalized racism regarding "HIV" among many of my peers in the scientific/medical establishment.
I'm aware that your wife, as well, has pioneered outreach programs at the University of Chicago. These are the programs that are most needed, not for "HIV" testing, or drugging, but for high blood pressure, diabetes, and other programs. I hope that she knows about the testing issue as I have tried to convey here to you.
Sincerely,

The U.S. medical establishment and public health agencies are currently pressing for legislation requiring mandatory HIV testing for Americans between the ages of 3 and 80. This is the biggest mistake that the U.S. could make the most costly mistake and the most damaging mistake for the largest amount of people possible because when you test populations of people that are considered what the promoters of AIDS say are “low risk,” you are going to get a huge number of false positive test results, which is essentially going to ruin the lives of tens of thousands or perhaps as many as hundreds of thousands of people. All who test “HIV-positive” in a “low risk” population are false positives, by definition. It is my contention that all who test “HIV-positive,” or whose T-cells are deemed “too low” are selectively biased by these tests, by definition.
Why? You are going to get a number of people who really are not sick in any way, shape or form, to test positive. And they won't be able to get health insurance. They may be fired from their jobs. The stigma of having AIDS causes suicide, as it did with David Acer, the dentist whom the CDC later exonerated (after his suicide), because the CDC could find no evidence after he committed suicide that the dentist's 5 “HIV-positive” patients contracted their “HIV” signatures from him. There is evidence, however, that countless others who have been given the diagnosis of an “HIV infection,” in addition to Dr. Acer, have chosen to end their lives upon getting an “HIV-positive” test result. “HIV” terrorizes both parents and children that are split apart by The State when children are placed into foster care, and people are forcibly drugged. I am not understating these facts and egregious violations of human rights.
On February 10th, 2005, three articles appeared in the New England Journal of
Medicine advocating that it would be timely and cost effective to test every man, woman, and child for "HIV" at least once in their lifetime.
"In all but the lowest-risk populations, routine, voluntary screening for HIV once every three to five years is justified on both clinical and cost-effectiveness grounds. One-time screening in the general population may also be cost-effective" [1-3].
The authors of these articles do not define with precision who should be selectively targeted “in all but the lowest risk populations,” but they now recommend testing for children, and monogamous adults, in addition to “high risk” people who are African Americans, Hispanics, alcoholics and drug addicts, pregnant women, and men who have sex with men. Some have suggested, in addition, routinely testing persons during every emergency room visit.
Other “HIV” "experts" more recently have claimed screening for AIDS would be cost-effective based on parallels with results obtained through screening for cancer (emboldened words or underlined words are my emphasis and are highlighted to point out baseless or non-scientifically validated assumptions):
“In the United States, approximately 1 million persons are living with HIV infection or AIDS, and 164,000 to 312,000 of them remain unaware of their infection. Experts hypothesize that most of the 40,000 new infections that occur annually in this country arise from contact with these undiagnosed persons. Given this likelihood, investigators have examined the potential benefit of routine screening, rather than testing of only those perceived to be at increased risk. This strategy appears to be as cost-effective as screening for colon, breast, or prostate cancer, and the availability of a rapid oral test has simplified broad scale testing” [4].
One problem with these proposals is that “HIV” has no unique and isolatable identity or proven molecular signature as an exogenous retrovirus (a virus that comes from outside of a cell or organism) that is the cause of AIDS. “HIV” gene sequences can be detected in non-infected humans, chimps, and monkeys:
“HIV-like sequences exist in normal human, chimpanzee, and rhesus monkey DNAs…Herein we describe the first report of the presence of nucleotide sequences related to HIV-1 in human, chimpanzee, and rhesus monkey DNAs from normal uninfected individuals." [5].
Because the primate test subjects in this study were normal and healthy (no low lymphocyte counts or detectable illness), yet “HIV” sequences were detected, the molecular signature attributed to an assumed exogenous retrovirus, “HIV,” may represent an inducible HERV (Human Endogenous Retroviral Sequence) molecular sequence or inducible polymorphism, which has not in itself been adequately demonstrated to be causal of immune suppression, or illness, but has been merely associated with less than 1/3 of human subjects who may be immune suppressed, according to the original studies of Robert Gallo's group that claimed a causal connection between "HIV's" molecular signature, and AIDS.
The unproven exogenous retroviral identity of so-called specific "HIV" derived proteins also can be appreciated, for instance, by considering what Nobelists Howard Temin and David Baltimore once proposed, who discovered reverse transcriptase (RT), and what Nobelist and former NIH head Harold Varmus wrote regarding reverse transcriptase, an enzyme once thought to be solely specific to retroviruses:
"[Reverse transcriptase] is a normal protein found in the uninfected cells of yeasts, insects, and mammals" [6].
More recently, other investigators have claimed RT is an endogenous cellular enzyme that can assume various forms and it is important for telomere replication at the tips of normal chromosomes [7], and may have nothing to do with exogenous retroviruses. Once claimed by AIDS scientists to be a specific molecular component required for "HIV" replication, RT is now seen in market magazines concerning biotechnology stocks [8, 9], in the context of normal, non-pathological situations, despite what AIDS proponents continue to claim about the specificity of RT to exogenous retroviruses.
p24, another protein once thought to be unique to “HIV” is known to be expressed in the thymus glands of "HIV-negative children [10].” Other studies show that goat and cow milk that is unpasteurized induce positive “HIV” tests for proteins once thought to be derived from exogenous “retroviral HIV.” Fifty percent of dogs in one study also exhibited “HIV” structural proteins but did not develop "AIDS" either [12]. Experiments testing the hypothesized ability of “HIV” integrase to interact with normal chromosomes revealed that the enzyme has no activity when compared side by side with histone H1 or polyamines, or the topoisomerases, and thus constituted a negative control for the minor groove-binding of the topoisomerases [13].
Although the template for the molecular signatures of “HIV” may derive from common endogenous DNA sequences whose proteins are expressed by normal uninfected yeast, insects, dogs, rhesus monkeys, chimps, humans, and even in allo-immunized mice (non-"HIV-infected" mice given sera from other "non-infected" mice), as has been known by scientists since this experiment was published in 1991, neither "HIV's proposed 9,150 base pair molecular sequence, or its proteins have been isolated or identified without contaminating cellular components. For instance, it has been repeatedly shown more than 60 times in “HIV” vaccine trials that antibodies against "HIV" proteins aren't evoked even when the so-called unique and diagnostic "HIV'" antigens are injected directly into the bloodstream of healthy humans. According to “experts,” no molecular entity associated with "HIV" sequences, proteins, or glycoproteins such as GP120, has been shown to be immunogenic in humans, perhaps because it is a case of self being challenged by molecules derived from self? The Merck "HIV" vaccine was just announced in September of 2007 as a complete and disappointing failure, not only in preventing acquisition of "HIV," but in the failure to evoke anti-"HIV" antibodies in the 741 volunteers:
"In a major setback, one of the leading experimental AIDS vaccines not only failed to prevent test subjects from becoming infected with HIV, but it didn't offer any indication it might delay the onset of full-blown AIDS, which had been a key hope."
"24 of 741 volunteers who got the vaccine in one segment of the experiment later became infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In a comparison group of volunteers who got dummy shots, 21 of 762 participants also became infected."
"The ultimate fear among researchers is that the whole theory underlying the Merck vaccine might be flawed, which, if true, could doom an entire class of experimental vaccines."
As mentioned before, it may be more appropriate to say that the whole theory of "HIV=AIDS" is flawed, because there is no evidence that an exogenous "AIDS virus" has been isolated, and shown to evoke an antibody response in vaccine recipients or cause disease in either an animal model or a human being. Unless one would like to make unfounded assumptions that the 24 of the 741 volunteers that "became infected" in this last of more than 60 failed "HIV" trials actually represents an extremely low rate of seroconversion due to exposure of isolated "HIV" components to the human immune system (24/741), and that these 24 individuals are now immunized against "HIV" instead of having acquired an "HIV" infection, the similar rate of seroconversion in the control group (21/762) suggests that this cannot be the case, and it is more likely, that seroconversion in both groups represents mere testing artifacts.
In support of this seemingly radical idea, "AIDS experts" themselves like Anthony Fauci have just cancelled the new PAVE vaccine trial, and Robert Gallo wrote in the pages of Science several years ago that:
"A sound rationale (is) needed for Phase III HIV vaccine trials" [14].
In 2006, Barre-Sinoussi (of the Luc Montagnier team) has “come out of the closet,” so to speak on this issue at the Toronto International AIDS conference, where she said:
“It is not clear if therapeutic vaccines might be useful, since 15 trials to date have not demonstrated definitive evidence of improved outcomes.”
Perhaps more importantly, even after the 120 million dollar failure called AIDSVAX was announced in 2004 that prompted Dr. Gallo to state: "a sound rationale is needed for Phase III HIV vaccine trials," no re-evaluation of the basic premises of AIDS science has taken place. Instead, following that failure, Donald Francis's 120 million dollar AIDSVAX program and his company VaxGen has now been rescued with our tax dollars by the military to produce a new anthrax vaccine that also failed-but that is a different $857 million dollar story.
Other “HIV” vaccine enthusiasts claim that although "HIV" vaccines don't work because they aren't immunogenic, it is asserted tacitly that certain vaccine adjuvants will do the job (because the so-called proteins of "HIV" repeatedly fail to evoke humoral immunity, mucosal immunity, cellular immunity, or even T-cell activation). Vaccine adjuvants like squalene (MF-59), however, when they have been added to certain lots of anthrax (and "HIV") vaccines given to soldiers and other "volunteers" on threat of court martial if they don't roll up their shirt on command (in contrast to Walter Reed's voluntary experiment with yellow fever). It is now established that some of these vaccine adjuvants have been responsible for autoimmune syndromes in most of the sick Gulf-War I veterans tested, as evidenced by the fact that sick veterans invariably generate antibodies to vaccine adjuvant, squalene, in their blood [15, 16]. This type of "promising vaccine experimentation" on our young soldiers is particularly disturbing in light of the fact that squalene and other similar vaccine adjuvants have been traditionally used by scientists who study rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or demyelinating syndromes, because experimental rodents will reliably develop experimental arthritis, macrophagic myofasciitis, mutliple-sclerosis (demyelinating syndromes), and lupus-like syndromes upon intravenous exposure to squalene [17, 18, 19].
The proposal for universal “HIV” testing raises other issues about “HIV-testing” itself. In 1985, at the beginning of HIV testing among sperm donors, it was known that “68% to 89% of all repeatedly reactive ELISA (HIV antibody) tests [were] likely to represent false positive results” [20]. This and many other similar false-testing trials all support the hypothesis was suggested above regarding testing artifact to explain the 24/741 and 21/762 numbers obtained in the context of the failed Merck STEP vaccine trial mentioned above.
The modern “HIV” screening tests, especially the rapid ones, are contradictory from test result to test result, they are inconsistent across national boundaries, and no consensus about their validity exists. An "HIV" positive test result obtained with an ELISA, Western Blot, or PCR, may not even mean that a person who tests positive is infected with a virus, or is expressing evoked “HIV-endogenous sequences or molecular markers [5]. Cross reactivity has also again and again been shown to exist regarding “HIV” sequences and proteins, and normal endogenous cellular components are expressed or shed under certain conditions of immunological or other types of physiological stress [10]. In this regard, a principal issue to reconcile before universal testing is implemented is that the makers of the test kits used to measure “HIV” or progression to “AIDS” are themselves aware of these issues, because they all claim their ELISA, Western Blot, and PCR-based kits can't really detect “HIV” virus in their package inserts:
"ELISA testing alone cannot be used to diagnose AIDS" [21].
"Do not use this kit as the sole basis for HIV infection," [22].
"The Amplicor HIV-1 monitor test is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV, nor as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV infection" [23].
"The NucliSens(R) HIV-1 QT assay is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV-1 nor is it to be used as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 infection" [24].
COBAS AmpliScreen HIV-1 Test is not intended for use as an aid in diagnosis" [25].
The Cambridge Biotech HIV-1 Western Blot Kit insert: "The clinical implications of antibodies to HIV-1 in an asymptomatic person are not known" [26].
"The OraSure HIV-l Western Blot Kit is not intended for use with blood, serum/plasma or urine specimens, or for screening or reinstating potential blood donors" [27].
The Red Cross recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that even after repeated testing using different test kits, low-risk populations, such as blood donors (or military recruits) will typically yield 12 (PCR-positive) or 2 (ELISA positive) out of 37,000,000 samples, leaving potentially 10 out of 12 false positives, depending on which test kit you believe accurately detects "HIV's" molecular signatures [28]. While it has been pointed out that of the 2 of the 12 who initially tested positive on ELISA seroconverted in subsequent months to the molecular signature of "HIV" detected on PCR, and thus may warrant an investigation as to what the meaning of these molecular markers represent among persons who exhibit clinical symptoms. In this regard, it could be argued that 2 or 8 out of 37,000,000 does not constitute a national health crisis, or communicable illness of the proportions of other STD's, and certainly doesn't warrant research budgets in the billions of trillions, or universal testing of "low risk" individuals, or anybody else.
The value of the rapid “HIV” test kits is even more problematic, and some of them have been banned from the US:
"A District Court in Seattle has granted a request from the Federal Trade Commission and issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the sale and distribution of "defective" home HIV test kits. According to FTC, the kits' maker, Seville Marketing of British Columbia, Canada, on two Web sites had advertised the "Discreet" home HIV test kits as producing 99.4% accurate results based on three independent studies. However, CDC studied the test kits and found they were not as accurate as the company claimed on its Web site."
"FTC will seek a permanent ban on sales and advertising of the kits in the United States and a permanent order to seize any kits that are imported. Consumers who have used the kits are advised to see a health professional for another test to determine their HIV status, according to the release"[29].
None of these tests have been validated against the isolation of pure "HIV" itself. They have been validated instead against other test kits that were assumed to detect "HIV."
Moreover, it has been recently proposed that viral load does not correlate with T-cell numbers, and the rate of progression (when an individual will exhibit symptoms of AIDS) can only be predicted in 4%-6% of HIV-positives studied (out of 2,800):
"A nationwide team of orthodox AIDS researchers led by doctors Benigno Rodriguez and Michael Lederman of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland are disputing the value of viral load tests-a standard used since 1996 to assess health, predict progression to disease, and grant approval to new AIDS drugs after their study of 2,800 HIV positives concluded viral load measures failed in more than 90% of cases to predict or explain immune status…”“Viral load is only able to predict progression to disease in 4% to 6% of HIV-positives studied, challenging much of the basis for current AIDS science and treatment policy” [30, 31].
In 1992, the Lancet reported that for 66 true positives, there were 30,000 false positives. And in pregnant women,
“there were 8,000 false positives for 6 confirmations.” [32].
In 1995, the CDC recommended offering HIV testing to all pregnant women, but according to official AIDS websites like the CDC’s and on package inserts of "HIV" test kits, false positives due to pregnancy occur frequently [33]. There are some 70 factors or conditions that are known to generate false positive test results including flu vaccination [34] and hepatitis B vaccination [35], although it still isn't clear that these conclusions weren't due to vaccination cross-reactivity, or attributable to problems with the "HIV" test kits themselves. Different testing standards in different countries makes it possible that if you test "HIV" positive in the US in the morning, one can fly the same day to Canada, the UK, or Australia, where different standards are considered diagnostic, and you will be considered negative the same day and thereby retain your insurance, job, relationships, pregnancy, or life. Many countries such as England do not use a confirmatory WESTERN BLOT.
By 18 months after birth, in 1993, Parekh et al. reported:
"a 60% rate of seroreversion in infants born of "HIV-positive" mothers [36, 37].
Seroreversion means, that the infants may test positive at birth, but that 60% of them will generate a negative test if tested at 12 or 18 months. Thus, under the new mandate to universally test infants, 60% of infants who initially test positive will serorevert by 18 months post-partum, and if 60% of infants who initially test positive serorevert (change from a positive to a negative "HIV" test result) are forced to imbibe “anti-retrovirals,” then 60% of infants will be needlessly exposed to toxic chemo (either in utero, post-partum, or through surgically inserted gastric feeding tubes placed there by doctors to force compliance of these deadly medications).
PCR results in infant testing are not diagnostic in infants either, because the inventor of PCR, the Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis, has repeatedly claimed that viral load cannot be detected using PCR, because PCR can only be used to amplify the assumed nucleic acid signature of "HIV," which again, has not been validated against the isolation of "HIV" itself (Kary Mullis in numerous writings and statements that are typically ignored, is belittled, and derided by "AIDS experts" and the promoters of AIDS).
If “HIV/AIDS” is chemotherapeutically hit hard and early as a consequence of an impassioned crusade to provide what amounts to toxic chemotherapy (see any AntiRetroviral-ARV- package insert) to millions of those who test positive (even those who live in Kenya who only have a cup of diluted gruel paste/day as food-liquid to wash down their medications-see Christine Amanpour's July 19, 2006 documentary on CNN-www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/africa/07/17/amanpour.africa.btsc/index.html), universal testing for "HIV" "infection" would increase morbidity and death amongst those designated as “HIV/AIDS” patients, rather than decrease morbidity and death.
For example, de Martino et al. concluded that children born to ZDV-treated mothers (ZVD is AZT, or the AIDS drug, Azidothymidine):
"are more likely to have a rapid course of HIV-1 infection compared with children born to untreated mothers, as disease progression and immunological deterioration are significantly more rapid and the risk of death is actually increased during the first 3 years of life” [38].
In the journal Pediatrics, Antoni Noguera et al reported that:
“Almost half of the children (63 of 127) who were exposed to nucleoside analogues developed benign and self-limited hyperlactatemia when symptomatic, nucleoside analogue–induced toxicity affected neurologic development ” [39].
In 1992, The Veterans Affairs Co-operative Study Group reported that AZT disproportionately harmed Blacks and Hispanics, and provided no benefit to the quelling of advancing immune suppression in Caucasians, and harmed healthier subjects (early treated) more than persons considered to exhibit clinical symptoms of AIDS [40].
The Concorde trial, which was published without endorsement by Burroughs Wellcome’s Coordinating Committee who declined to endorse the final report, and which was the largest, longest, and best controlled adult AZT trial concluded:
“The results of Concorde do not encourage the early use of zidovudine in symptom-free HIV-infected adults. They also call into question the uncritical use of CD4 cell counts as a surrogate endpoint for assessment of benefit from long-term antiretroviral therapy” [41].
When considering "HIV" testing all infants and all subjects who visit their doctor or emergency rooms, faith-based science and medicine currently dominate ideas and therapies that address the imagined “mutability” of the “HIV” virus, and the failure of ARV-therapy is always based on mutation, rather than toxicity caused by the drugs. Individuals who fail ARV therapy are told their virus has mutated and is no longer sensitive to the drugs. The impact of this hypothesis on persons living with "HIV" or "AIDS" is unfair, uninformed, and cruel. For example, Mark Harrington, a member of The Treatment Action Group (TAG) summoned "the power of prayer" over "HIV" mutability, and discussed "The Chinese Menu Approach" in a description of a meeting he attended on developments regarding anti-retrovirals that included AIDS leaders such as Marc Wainberg, Director, McGill AIDS Centre, and the 2006 Chair of The Toronto International AIDS Conference-who possesses several "HIV" drug patents such as lamivudine (3TC), and grants from GlaxoSmithKlein, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Boehringer-Ingelheim. Also present at the meeting was Emilio Emini, Tufts University's John Coffin, Roche's Noel Roberts, the CDC's Harold Jaffe, Chiron's David Chernoff, the ACTG's Robert ("Chip") Schooley and John Mellors (developer and champion of the viral load tests now known to be invalid [30]), as well as treatment activist Dawn Averitt-Doherty of Atlanta-based Woman's Information Service and Exchange (WISE):
"During the coffee break, I (Harrington) joined three activists outside to share nicotine and despair. What was the point of quitting smoking if we were still all passengers on the speeding train heading for the cliff? The Birmingham resistance data were wrenching. Our fears of multiple cross-resistance, from November 1995's 3TC and saquinavir FDA approval hearings, reared their ugly heads. Several months of post-Vancouver euphoria crumbled in a moment as it became clear that many of those who developed resistance to ritonavir and indirovine-as thousands clearly would-might have no protease inhibiting options ahead of them. Today's resistance news made for a toxic cocktail. As I left the auditorium I bumped into Emilio Emini."
"Harrington: So what do you do if you fail Crixivan?"
"Emini: [sighs] We don't know what to do."
"Harrington: Take two new nucleosides and nevirapine?"
"Emini: Yeah. And pray."
"No one had yet assessed the healing effects of prayer on viral load. This was what we'd come to. I rushed into the lobby of the Interior Department and ran into a colleague, who was wild with fear and disappointment."
"Sometimes the gap between how the researchers felt and how we felt became an abyss. They were excited about the endless possibilities opened up by the research advances of 1996; we were terrified about the limited treatment options facing people who had exhausted most of the current arsenal of antiretroviral therapy. What to do with those whose viral load refused to go undetectable? What to do with those who added a protease inhibitor to a failing two-drug regimen and appeared doomed to develop resistance, most of it-especially with ritonavir and indinovir-cross-resistant to all other protease inhibitors? What to do with those who jumped aboard last year's bandwagon, AZT+3TC, and now appeared likely to have developed 3TC resistance and, with it, cross-resistance to ddI, ddC and possibly 1592? The Chinese menu approach to antiretroviral treatment suddenly looked much less appetizing, and much less nourishing"[42].
These same results also have been advanced in frequent warnings on MedWatch:
"Early virologic nonresponse (91%) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) resistance (50-95%) has been observed at a high rate in a Gilead Sciences-sponsored clinical study. Participants in the study were treatment-naive (i.e, no previous treatment for HIV) took a once-daily, 3-drug NRTI regimen. The NRTI regimen contained didanosine enteric coated beadlets (Videx EC), lamivudine (Epivir), and tenofovir (Viread)" [43].
"The new information is consistent with several recent clinical studies evaluating the use of 3 NRTIs simultaneously. Suboptimal virology response has also been reported with abacavir, didanosine, and stavudine, as well as another regimen containing abacavir, didanosine, and zidovudine. Similarly, early virologic failure and high resistance rates have been reported with abacavir, lamivudine, and tenofovir (see eMedicine Recalls and Alerts 8/1/03, Nonresponse Reported in HIV Infection Treated with 3-Drug Regimen Including Lamivudine, Abacavir, and Tenofovir"[43].
Other warnings on FDAMedWatch support Mr. Harrington's sentiments regarding liver toxicity, and also warn about neural tube defects in fetuses from woman who test positive and who are treated with “the life saving” AIDS medicines:
"Increased Liver Toxicity with Nevirapine (Viramune) and Higher CD4 Counts…Revised prescribing information for nevirapine (Viramune) includes a new recommendation against starting nevirapine treatment in women with CD4 cell counts above 250 cells/mL and males with CD4 counts above 400 cells/mL unless benefits clearly outweigh risks. The new recommendation is based on an increased risk of serious liver toxicity with higher CD4 cell counts prior to starting therapy with nevirapine"[44].
"Females and patients with higher CD4 cell counts are at increased risk of liver toxicity. Females have a three-fold higher risk of symptomatic nevirapine liver toxicity than males, and females with CD4 cell counts above 250 cells/mL have a 12-fold higher risk of symptomatic liver toxicity than females with CD4 cell counts below 250 (11% vs. 0.9%). Males with CD4 cell counts above 400 cells/mL have a five-fold higher risk of symptomatic liver toxicity than males with CD4 cell counts below 400 (6.3% vs. 1.2%)"[44].
"New Drug Interaction Warning with Rifampin and Combination of Ritonavir and Saquinavir. 'Drug-induced liver toxicity with highly elevated liver enzymes (greater than 20 times the upper limit of normal) has been observed in 39% of healthy volunteers receiving rifampin 600 mg once daily in combination with ritonavir 100 mg/saquinavir 1000 mg twice daily (ritonavir boosted saquinavir) [45].
Neural Tube Defects with First Trimester Efavirenz (Sustiva) Use. "The prescribing information for efavirenz (Sustiva) has been changed to include new information. The revision result of four reports linking neural tube defects in infants born to women with first trimester exposure to efavirenz. The four cases of neural tube defects include three cases of meningomyelocele and one Dandy Walker Syndrome. Pregnancy should be avoided in women receiving efavirenz…Efavirenz is an antiretroviral drug indicated for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS, HIV-1 infection). A registry has been established to monitor fetal outcomes born to women exposed to efavirenz.." [45].
Perhaps from the standpoint of imagining genetic mutation abilities or inventing viral characteristics that defy all evidence and all common sense, there is no bigger tragedy than what was reported this year with nevirapine. Virological failure or drug resistance are technical terms among “HIV-AIDS” proponents that have come to mean that an anti-retroviral drug doesn't work (fails to suppress virus), or that disease progression is more rapid in those that take a particular drug. In the New England Journal of Medicine, it was reported (and despite its known toxicity and withdrawal from the U.S. several years ago):
“Well over 875,000 women and infants have received a single dose of nevirapine. A single dose of nevirapine is the cornerstone of the regimen recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to prevent mother-to-child transmission among women without access to antiretroviral treatment and among those not meeting treatment criteria. However, nevirapine resistance is detected (with the use of standard genotyping techniques) in 20 to 69% of women and 33 to 87% of infants after exposure to a single, peripartum dose of nevirapine. Among 60 women starting antiretroviral treatment within 6 months after receiving placebo or a single dose of nevirapine, no women in the placebo group and 41.7% in the nevirapine group had virologic failure (P<0.001). Women who had received a single dose of nevirapine had significantly higher rates of virologic failure on subsequent nevirapine-based antiretroviral treatment than did women who had received placebo. This apparently deleterious effect of a single dose of nevirapine was concentrated in women who initiated antiretroviral treatment within 6 months after receiving a single dose of nevirapine. We did not find that a previous single dose of nevirapine compromised the efficacy of subsequent nevirapine-based antiretroviral treatment in women who started antiretroviral treatment 6 months or more after delivery. Among the 30 HIV-infected infants, a single dose of nevirapine (one each to mother and infant) as compared with placebo was associated with significantly higher rates of virologic failure and smaller CD4+percentage increases in response to subsequent nevirapine-based antiretroviral treatment”[46].
Universal “HIV” screening of certain groups is nothing new, and it hasn’t improved the health or reduced "infection rates" of those populations for which routine screening is already in place: military recruits [47, 48], medical students, "disease ridden foreigners" (immigrants who apply for permanent residence, and any participant in the Gay Games in Chicago, despite "some conservative groups who oppose(d) the federal government's decision to waive the ban on HIV-positive travelers to the U.S. [49], saying it threatens public health)”, and, universal screening of pregnant women. The reason why none of these groups have benefited by universal testing is because of the false positive rate of the test results, especially among those “low risk” groups that will now be tested routinely at their doctor’s office, or perhaps in emergency room visits.
If you test positive because you recently had a flu vaccine or are pregnant, grave psychological consequences can result. For instance, has universal “HIV” screening within mandatory medical resident training programs ever prompted a letter of apology to the family of Dr. David Acer, for his committing suicide on the basis of mistaken charges that he spread “HIV” to his patients [50], which the CDC later exonerated him of doing (after his suicide), because the CDC could "find no evidence the dentist's HIV-positive patients contracted their infections from him because their virus' DNA did not match his, and also concluded the dentist's patients did not contract the virus from one another -- in effect, that unclean dental implements did not act as conduits." Other studies that have followed exposure of health care workers have also found no transmission of AIDS [51].
Not only does transmission of AIDS not occur between 60% of positive mother-infant pairs because infants serorevert, it hasn’t occurred in health care settings such as dentist’s offices, hospitals, or sperm banks, or between serodiscordant couples, such as hemophiliacs. It hasn’t even been scientifically shown to be transmitted between persons who have frequent unprotected sex. From the study called “Heterosexual Transmission of HIV in Northern California: Results from a Ten-Year Study:”
“We followed up 175 HIV-discordant couples [one partner tests positive, one negative] over time, for a total of approximately 282 couple-years of follow up… No transmission [of HIV] occurred among the 25% of couples who did not use their condoms consistently, nor among the 47 couples who intermittently practiced unsafe sex during the entire duration of follow-up…” “We observed no seroconversions after entry into the study [nobody became HIV positive]…This evidence argues for low infectivity in the absence of either needle sharing and/or other cofactors [52].”
No scientific evidence has shown that the “HIV” “retrovirus” causes the immunodeficiency illness symptoms called AIDS. We have requested the scientific paper(s) that prove that “HIV” is the causative agent. “HIV” sequences and proteins are found in a variety of non-disease-associated contexts, and “HIV” vaccines don’t evoke antibodies and are provided with dangerous adjuvants like squalene. The “HIV” screening tests are contradictory, inconsistent across national boundaries, and no consensus exists regarding their validity. ARVS induce immune suppression according to their manufacturer’s package inserts, and fears of HIV's mutability provide excuses for drug makers claims to conceal the fact that ARV's don't work. Seropositivity reverts to seronegativity in infants and in single patients and vice versa even when compared on the same test. Transmission studies show no transmission. Universal screening hasn't protected groups where universal testing is already in place, and the stigma associated with testing positive has caused many to commit suicide, prevented them from getting health insurance, caused abortions, and ruined countless lives.
Because of these considerations, the assumptions underlying universal testing are flawed. It is an idea predicated on faith rather than scientific evidence. Moreover, the numbers of "infected individuals" provided in references [1-4], by the CDC, by the WHO, or others, are fictitious.
"Estimates on HIV called too high. New data cut rates for many nations."
"Statisticians traditionally have had a difficult time estimating the size of the pandemic. In 1986, Jim Chin, then a state epidemiologist in California who later developed models for the World Health Organization to calculate HIV prevalence, and several other US officials met in a West Virginia hotel room to figure out how many Americans had HIV."
"Chin recollected that the group arrived at a range of 1 million to 1.5 million people; 18 years later, the number is at about 1 million Americans. "A lot of it was guesswork, based on limited studies," Chin said. "It was the best we could do" [53].
Regarding the imagined similarities between universal “HIV” testing and early detection of cancer with routine screening [4], unlike cancer, early screening doesn’t matter with profound immune suppressive states: the symptoms considered diagnostic for "AIDS" can’t simply be removed with a surgeon’s knife, with radiation, or with a "chemical knife" once it is detected, like a non-invasive melanoma. When considering assays in human patients which diagnose "AIDS" by quantifying the number of lymphocytes/ml, patients are not considered to have an AIDS-defining illness if thy have suffered from chronic starvation, as these individuals are known to possess a helper T-cell ratio in the AIDS-defining range or even lower (< 250 cells/ml), and can present with as much as a 90% reduction in their normal T-cell number which is reversible upon nutritional supplementation and a normal diet [54, 55]. In this regard, it has been several years since the announcement in the New England Journal of Medicine that vitamin supplements can ward off progression to AIDS in the absence of HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy) [56].
The recommendation handed down from CDC for universal “HIV” screening, universal screening of pregnant woman, universal screening in routine doctor office visits, and routine testing in emergency room visits are reminiscent of the hepatitis B vaccine era. Twenty years later, the evidence shows that the current hepatitis B mandate in place not only threatens our children's health [57], but also serves in the future to threaten our children's education and admission to all kinds of institutions (day care and school admission).
So don’t think about science at a time like this: either refuse or obtain a religious or philosophical exemption from undergoing an "HIV" test. Faith-based exemption means that God told you not to get tested, and who can argue with that?

Please send your voice to Washington and Say No to Medication and YES to Education.
In love, light and world peace,
PS Please read the following letter by Andrew Manitotis, Ph.D.
With the removal and resignation of Mark Dybul, the architect and executioner of George Bush's PEPFAR initiative, I would like to offer my willingness to take up the task of his position in the new Obama administration, and provide some analysis of several very expensive and wasteful programs that currently are in place, whose monies could be redirected to generate far more effective programs of health and humanitarian aide.
It should be stated from the start that I would organize the program on the basis of suggestions promoted by organizations like Doctors Without Borders, rather than continue Global AIDS initiatives, as they have been directed for years, according to questionable science, and pharmaceutical interests.
It also should be stated first, that I recognize and acknowledge that since the emergence of AIDS, many of the assumptions and efforts that have been advanced to address the issue of “HIV/AIDS” have revealed genuine concern for “the AIDS people,” and others of the world, regardless of how misguided and destructive some of these assumptions and efforts have been.
Despite AIDS control efforts that have been based upon faith-based assumptions instead of solid scientific evidence, it is clear that such public health initiatives are borne from altruistic impulses, and mostly administered by persons who want to help, rather than to exploit or profit.
Having acknowledged that we are only human, one may begin this task of overhauling World AIDS initiatives by asking President Obama’s new science advisors if they intend to maintain the violation of human rights that is caused by "HIV" molecular testing of so-called "low-risk" and "high-risk" individuals. "HIV" test kits cross-react non-specifically with other factors and known disease syndromes.
Among "HIV" test subjects, with respect to the accuracy of diagnosis, complete disclosure to human test subjects should be made about the facts that:
1. There are at least 70 known false positive "HIV" cross-reactions;
2. To obtain an unequivocally positive "HIV" test result each of the following potential chemical reactions should be eliminated through differential diagnosis as a possible reason for a false-positive test result on the ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbant Assay, WB's (WESTERN BLOT), or PCR-based tests (Polymerase Chain Reaction), before a positive "HIV" diagnosis is made: the spurious detection of p18, p24, p55, p12, p32, p51, p66 and gp160, gp41, gp120 antigens (antigens are molecules) that also may be present in fluids obtained from patients who are pregnant, from patients who suffer from other acute viral infections, from patients who have had recent flu or hepatitis B vaccinations, or for no reason that is associated with disease.
In 1993, U.S health authorities expanded AIDS diagnoses to include a category of people having but two laboratory conditions: a low white blood cell count (low WBC) and a test showing HIV antibodies of a high concentration. Thus these two test results, graded and judged on an arbitrary scale, despite a person having excellent clinical health and with no symptoms of disease whatsoever, stamp one in the U.S. to have "AIDS." Then, despite beginning in fine health, the nightmare of toxic drug therapies is initiated, with scared witless new patients conjuring up ludicrous dim memories of perhaps a brief sexual fling, blood transfusion, or bloody injury often decades ago. By year 2000, this singular low WBC rogue category of AIDS (the last year this data was available) cited by
New York City Department of Health data was 90% of their AIDS cases, and
rising.
This World health disaster called the AIDS era, and agony on a personal level, continues every day, brought by anti-retroviral drugs and mindless vaccine trials that should be instantly stopped or minimized. U.S. AIDS cases and deaths continue to be needlessly created by the 1993 AIDS definition which in a single day in 1993 caused a 204 percent increase in AIDS cases reported since the implementation of the new federal AIDS surveillance definition (AIDS Alert (06/93) Vol. 8, No. 6, P. 81). This "Challenger-sized disaster" continues with the current useless tests, with Congress and top health officials conducting business as usual, and blind to victory over AIDS throughout Europe, Australia, and even right next door in Canada, because the U.S. model of AIDS is in error. The new President Barack Obama must demand complete reassessment of this monumental medical fiasco, and stop the mindless massacre, racism, and homophobia that is reinforced by “high-risk” and “low-risk” designations, and the tragically flawed American AIDS model.
For starters, any new Global AIDS coordinator working for the Obama administration should immediately demand a reappraisal of:
A.The failure to evoke seroconversion, in most cases T-cell activation, or protection, even after sixty-three multi-million dollar vaccine failures all have raised issue with the American AIDS model and the “HIV=AIDS” hypothesis (see 1995 Congress of the United States: Office of Technology assessment. Adverse Reactions to HIV Vaccines: Medical, Ethical, and Legal Issues. Roger C. Herdman, Director; and also the list of 33 current, mostly aborted, vaccine trials on the NIAD website.
B.The failure to isolate “HIV” from all other objects in the Universe, or to explain what the confusing presence of “HIV” antigens or nucleic acids in healthy drug-naïve persons means, or explain why normal cellular proteins like actin are found inside "HIV" particles (see Gluschankof P, Mondor I, Gelderblom HR, Sattentau QJ. Cell membrane vesicles are a major contaminant of gradient-enriched human immunodeficiency virus type-1 preparations. Virology. Mar 31;230(1):125-33, 1997; or Bess JW Jr, Gorelick RJ, Bosche WJ, Henderson LE, Arthur LO. Microvesicles are a source of contaminating cellular proteins found in purified HIV-1 preparations. Virology, Mar 31; 230(1):134-44, 1997);
C.The failure to appreciate, that the association of a molecular marker with any disease state, does not prove, disprove, or even suggest causality;
D.The failure of the 2008 Nobel committee to appreciate, in the case of awarding the recent Nobel Prize to Luc Montagnier and Barre-Sinoussi, that according to their 1983 paper, their Patient One’s “viral” isolate,” was derived from a fellow with swollen lymph nodes, a history of syphilis and syphilis treatment the year before, a history of gonorrhea, a history of cytomegalovirus infection, a history of herpes I and II infection, a history of Epstein-Barr virus infection, and God knows what else (Barre-Sinoussi, F,J.C. Chermann J.C., Rey F., Nugeyre MT., Chamaret, S., Gruest J., Dauguet C., Axler-Blin C., Vezinet-Brn F., Rouzioux, C., Rozenbaum R., & Montagnier L. Isolation of a T-lymphotropic retrovirus from a patient at risk for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science 230: 868-871, 1983);
E. The failure of the December 2008 Nobel committee to appreciate that by their granting of either the first half of their Nobel Prize award to Montagnier, Barre-Sinoussi, and second half to Harald Zur Hausen, that despite the mistaken link between “HIV” and six different cancers, or HPV with cervical cancer, that “HIV” has never been linked to one of the first two “AIDS-defining illnesses” (Kaposi’s sarcoma), and that “HPV” has never been shown to transform cells in a scientifically acceptable experiment, and that the reason why “HPV” (human papillomavirus) molecular sequences are sometimes associated with cervical cancers is because these are all simply endogenous molecular sequences kicked out by transformed cells, not Human immune deficiency or transforming papillomaviruses. In this context, HPV "virus" particles, to date have not been shown to induce cervical cells or any other kind of cells to become cancerous in an acceptable experiment no more than "HIV" has even been shown to transform any human cells. Also in this context, the Nobel committee should be held accountable about the fact that many of us in the scientific community know that it is simply mindless greed and conflicting interests that has appeared to motivate this last December’s Nobel Committee NOT to acknowledge and heed the widely publicized warnings on all of the more than 30 "HIV" package inserts that claim their kits cannot detect "HIV," and ignore such agencies as The “College of American Pathologists (CAP),” and senior investigators at the National Cancer Institute (Dr. Mark Shiffman), Dr. Mark Stoler at the Virginia Healthcare system, and Attila Lorincz, PhD, chief scientific officer and senior VP of research development at Digene the company which makes “HPV” molecular test kits, that neither "HIV" sequences or “HPV-sequences” have been validated against the clinical occurrence of AIDS or clinical cervical cancer (several of the Nobel committee had direct ties to AstraZeneca and other biopharmaceutical companies and “HIV” vaccine trails). In this context, the Nobel committee also failed to appreciate the shameful carnage currently being perpetrated by the so-called first "anti-cancer" vaccine GARDASIL (made by the same company Merck, who 20 years ago claimed that their hepatitis B vaccine was the first “anti-cancer” vaccine, before 15,000 French citizens filed a class action suit to their Health Minister to stop the hepatitis B vaccine mandate for its youngest citizens, because it harmed so many. In this context, it also might also be mentioned that the hepatitis B "first anti-cancer" vaccine topped the CDC's list as being linked to the most reported vaccine adverse events after the 1999's impassioned crusade to vaccine infants against "STD's" or drug and alcohol-acquired syndromes like hepatitis B, and currently, Gardasil, Merck's other "first anti-cancer" vaccine, which will be bought for the Nations poorest girls (read African Americans predominantly) at a public-funded price of at least 2 billion, already has been responsible for 78 outbreaks of genital warts (http://www.NaturalNews.com/024774.html" target="_blank" title=")and, according to Judicial Watch:
"In June, 2008, the reported (<10% of adverse reactions are known to be reported) adverse events tally attributed to GARDASIL increased to 8,864: (http://tinyurl.com/6dkht7)"
Or:
Death toll linked to Gardasil vaccine rises. Complications include shock, 'foaming at mouth,' convulsions, coma.
Posted: June 30, 2008 10:18 pm Eastern, 2008 WorldNetDaily.
"Anaphylactic shock," "foaming at mouth," "grand mal convulsion," "coma" and "now paralyzed" are a few of the startling descriptions included in a new federal report describing the complications from Merck & Co.'s Gardasil medication for sexually transmitted human papillomavirus – which has been proposed as mandatory for all schoolgirls.
The document was obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by Judicial Watch, a Washington group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, and it has details of 10 deaths just since September.
"Given all the questions about Gardasil, the best public health policy would be to re-evaluate its safety and to prohibit its distribution to minors. In the least, governments should rethink any efforts to mandate or promote this vaccine for children," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
The organization's work uncovered reports of about one death each month since last fall, bringing the total death toll from the drug to at least 18 and as many as 20. There also were 140 "serious" reports of complications including about three dozen classified as life- threatening, 10 spontaneous abortions and half a dozen cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
The document reveals the case of an 18-year-old woman who got the Gardasil vaccine, was found unconscious that evening, and died. Another woman, age 19, got the drug and the next morning was found dead in her bed.
The new documents also reveal a total of 8,864 Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System records, up from a total of 3,461 that had been reported in a document just last fall.
F. The failure to sequence the “HIV” genome as a consistent pattern or genomic sequence, or to identify specific proteins that are not also found in normal, “non-infected” contexts. For instance,The DIADS culturing manual for “HIV” infection states that a true test reading is obtained when:
Two consecutive HIV p24 antigen VQA CORRECTED values of > 30 pg/ml (from a healthy donor source), of which the second value is at least four times greater than the first value or out of range” (O.D.>2) or Two consecutive HIV p24 antigen VQA CORRECTED values (from a healthy donor source) that are out of range” (Optical density > 2); or Three consecutive HIV p24 antigen VQA CORRECTED values of > 30 pg/ml (from a healthy donor source), where neither consecutive value is >than four times the previous sample, but the third value is at least four times greater than the first.
Thus, under current rules, if someone should have sex without informing the other participant(s) of their more than 30pg/ml p24 status, the "HIV-positive" person can be arrested by the State, thrown in jail, and tried and convicted for murder, if pregnant, a woman may be urged or even forced to abort, or to have a hysterectomy, as in the Serrano case. If less than 30pg/ml p24 (“HIV-capsid protein”) is detected, one can donate blood or sleep with everybody one can without telling them their less than 30 status, which constitutes p24 protein discrimination, rather than a positive “HIV” test result indicating the presence of an exogenous retroviral infection;
G.The failure to inform the public (and most scientists) that reverse transcriptase is not specific to viruses, nor are the gag, pol, env, p24, and other so-called “HIV-specific” genes and their products, which all can be detected in normal, “non- infected” contexts, and which are published on Medline;
H.The failure to block transmission of “HIV” or AIDS in mother to child transmission studies (MTCT) as shown by the Cochran Meta-analysis and other peer-reviewed reports, which almost without exception showed increased “HIV mutation rates” after black box label drugs such as nevirapine were discontinued in the U.S. because of their toxicitiy, and then ashamedly were administered to more than eight hundred seventy five thousand African mother-infant pairs by Max Essex of Harvard, and others.
I. The failure to acknowledge, appreciate, or investigate that safety officers of the NIH, such as Dr. Fishbein, who monitored the nevirapine trials as a safety officer, were fired, while those individuals such as Edmond Tremont who directed the nevaripine trial(s) were not even reprimanded after he had changed the data in safety reports that Dr. Fishbein and others had uncovered, in order to push forward George Bush’s and Mark Dybul’s PEPFAR pogrom and their abstinence-biblical-practice-enriched eugenics pogrom on Africans;
J. The failure to understand why ARV’s (anti-retrovirals) in some individuals, can prevent "AIDS syndromes," because of their toxicity to normal immune cells can block these cells from expressing “HIV-specific” molecules as a normal response to a physiological or pharmaceutical stress on lymphocytes, or are detected as evidence of a rare genetic polymorphism, and the failure to appreciate that as shown in the Fischl, Veterans Affairs, Concorde, and first decade of HAART, that these drugs are so toxic, that they can in some individuals suppress both fungal and bacterial growth, but cannot prevent theoretical virus proliferation, because if the “HIV” paradigm is correct, these genomes of “HIV” would be rapidly integrated into the DNA of “infected” cells and are “out of reach” of drugs designed against “HIV” “molecules;”
K. The failure of John Moore's "Hail Mary-discovered" microbicides, condom campaigns, and circumcision, to reduce "HIV-transmission" that have more often than not, increased the rate of detecting “HIV’s” molecular markers, instead of decreasing them among African human “lab rats;”
L.The failure to appreciate the disaster and infant mortality caused by breast feeding dissuasion campaigns, designed to decrease infant mortality from “HIV-infection,” but which increased infant mortality 20 times in formula fed infants, compared to mother-infant pairs that didn’t listen to their doctors, and who weren’t dissuaded from breast feeding, and the failure to appreciate the corresponding terrorism that has been waged against new mothers to promote formula dumping on 3rd World nations;
M.The failure to acknowledge how projected and WHO-manufactured “HIV” and “AIDS” prevalence and incidence rates have not materialized, and how they recently have been dismissed by world AIDS leaders such as Kevin de Cock
as signaling the end of the “heterosexual AIDS era” (except of course among people of African dissent or homosexuals who have been selectively biased during “HIV” testing campaigns, or selectively targeted during “HIV-preventative” microbicide or circumcision campaigns, or manufactured from “best guess estimates” based on STD clinics or perinatal clinics);
N. The failure to explain how “HIV’s” long “slow-virus-like” latency makes sense from any biochemical point of view;
O. The failure to support the progress of Doctors Without Borders, who recently showed how the cheap food supplement plumpynut, when given to the children of Niger, the poorest nation in Africa, has reversed the infant mortality rate, and without antibiotics or drugs, or without significant funding, as was revealed on 60 minutes;
P. The failure to develop a consistent in vitro model to detect “HIV” infection;
Q. The failure to develop any “HIV” animal model, while “HIV” exposed chimps now rest in their 27 million dollar retirement homes because they never developed AIDS after injection 20 years ago with AIDS patient sera or “HIV;”
R. The failure of the biomedical establishment to offer and provide support to pursue and fund at least 17 other hypotheses that have explained or have even reversed in some cases, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome;
S. The failure to pursue and fund rational and inexpensive patient-specific treatment regimens such as those developed in the German drug-abuse clinics by Heinrich Kremer, Juliane Sacher, or in African in Niger, by Doctors Without Borders who fed starving children plumpynet, and by many others who have shown they can reverse immunosuppression non-toxically, and with a minimum, or in most cases, with a complete lack of HAART;
T. The failure to appreciate why prostitutes and sex workers don’t acquire “HIV’s” molecular markers, or develop “AIDS,” unless they are also chronic immunosuppressive illicit or pharmaceutical drug users or abusers;
U. The failure to account for why Human “HIV” transmission studies like the 10 year Padian study and many others have not shown “HIV” or “AIDS” transmission between serodiscordant couples, or among health care workers inoculated with “HIV-tainted” blood, or why the spouses of “HIV-positive” hemophiliacs and “HIV-negative” partners have failed to seroconvert or develop AIDS after numerous unprotected and repeated exposures to their “HIV” positive spouses;
V. The failure to address the phenomenon announced as recently as February 14th, 2008, in San Diego, California, when the local county health department made quite a big deal out of the fact that all sexually transmitted diseases in their local gay community have risen by an astounding 800 percent since 2003, including syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, while “HIV” infection rates have dropped since 2003 in the very same gay community;
W. The failure to explain how there can be large numbers of so-called "Long-Term-Non-Progressors," or "Elite Controllers," who never acquire any illness, although they may test positive for “HIV’s” molecular signature for more than two decades, or how it is possible that ICL-AIDS patients test negative for “HIV” but are thought to have “AIDS;”
X. The failure to account for how T-cell numbers or “viral load” don’t indicate any effect of a viral presence or infection, or explain why viral load continues to be aggressively monitored despite the fact that no virus has ever been observed in the blood of a so-called “HIV-positive” individual harboring high “viral load” as measured by PCR (polymerase chain reaction);
Y.The failure of the AIDS establishment or Nobel committee to acknowledge the significance of The Sammelweis Society giving their award this last year to National Academy member Peter Duesberg for initially alerting the scientific community as to the impossibility and destructive capacity of the “HIV=AIDS” hypothesis, and to appreciate the significance of the co-presentation of that award to investigative journalist, Celia Farber, for her initial expose regarding the iatrogenocide committed against gay men during the high-dose AZT era;
Z. And finally, the failure of the Promoters of AIDS, to address in any of our numerous invited all-expense-paid offers to hold a public forum, or media exchange, and respond to questions as to why not one of their more than 33 “HIV” test kits first initially patented and launched by Robert Gallo and Abbott Laboratories claim they can’t detect “HIV,” and why they continue to state on their package inserts after more than 20 years, that the significance of “HIV’s” molecular signature is not known, or that "HIV" cannot be detected or diagnosed using these methodologies.
These are the true ABC's of AIDS denialism. Rather than advocating Abstinence, Being Faithful, and wearing Condoms as the ABC's of AIDS, all of this information (and a mountain of evidence not presented here) points to the glaring absurdity that A ("HIV)" leads to B (immune suppression), which leads to C (AIDS). The viral hypothesis is far too simplistic to be supported a moment longer without immediate and intensive investigation of 17 other hypotheses which, in some cases, have led to reversion of acquired immune collapse by improving immune function, without the use of anti-retroviral therapies, or attacking the “HIV” molecular markers or T-cell counts.
It isn’t all bad news.
It is true that there have been some successes, and these should be intensively reappraised and investigated as well. For instance, Donald Rumsfeld’s former biotech company, Giliad Biosciences, makes the AIDS cocktail drug atripola, which is now making obscene amounts of money in a plethora of AIDS pogroms (as well as Giliad’s Tamiflu, purchased by the American taxpayer, to fight the global and non-existent “bird flu pandemic”).
It might also seem like progress is being made by some because George Bush, and his Global AIDS coordinator, Mark Dybul’s PEPFAR pogrom was funded by a propagandized and hoodwinked Congress, and will now move forward to continue to line the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies as they continue to dump their rank, non-safety-tested, in some cases failed cancer chemo-therapeutic cellular (AZT) poisons on millions of Africans, and other nations like India, China, and others, after drugs like nevirapine were withdrawn from use in the U.S. a few years ago because of its rank liver-destructive toxicity, especially in women, and are now continuously being dumped on Africans and others among the World’s most vulnerable.
Another piece of hopeful news is that Kevin de Cock who is a World AIDS leader, announced recently that “heterosexual AIDS is over,” except of course, and according to the WHO and to him, among large segments of Africa, and the African American community perhaps, who remain problematic not because of some difference compared to whites in their heterosexual behavior, but simply because they are black. Such institutionalized racism, cultural phobia, and targeted selective testing biases have come to define the current “AIDS pandemic.”
It also might be perceived by some as good news that because of the WHO's ceaseless terror campaigns of "HIV/AIDS" paranoia, on the tourist visas of such nations as India, it is declared that:
TOURIST VISA FROM INDIA:
"Declaration to be made by applicants seeking to stay in India for more than one year:"
“I hereby undertake that I shall subject myself to a medical test, including for AIDS within one month of arrival in India. In case I am found positive for AIDS, I will leave India,”
Or that even the BBC frequently runs stories like the following as recently as December 2008 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7768059.stm):
GETTING HIGH ON "HIV" DRUGS IN SOUTH AFRICA
BBC NEWS
Getting high on HIV drugs in South Africa
Alka Marwaha, BBC News
"Anti-retroviral drugs used to treat HIV/Aids are being bought and smoked by teenagers in South Africa to get high."
"Reports suggest that the drugs are being sold by patients and even healthcare staff for money."
"Schoolchildren have been spotted smoking the drugs, which are ground into powder and sometimes mixed with painkillers or marijuana."
"Aids patients themselves have been found smoking the drugs instead of taking them as prescribed."
Or that Reuters at the beckoning call of public health officials newsflashes around the world stories such as the following without any self-critical awareness of even common sense:
“HIV” IS CAUSED BY CIGARETTES, BUT CIGARETTES DON’T CAUSE
AIDS.
On Thursday, Sep 21, 2006, as reported in Reuters, it was announced for the first time that the probable cause of increased "HIV's infection had been found to be…..smoking cigarettes, but 9 of 10 other studies failed to find a link between smoking and progression to AIDS:
LONDON (Reuters) - "Smoking, already linked to several illnesses, may also increase the risk of infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS."
"In a review of studies that looked at the association between smoking and HIV, British doctors said five of the six studies they analyzed showed smokers had a higher chance of becoming infected."
"Nine of 10 other studies in the review that tracked the progression from HIV to AIDS found no link with smoking."
"The studies identified in this systematic review indicate that while smoking might be independently associated with acquiring HIV infection, it does not appear to be related to progression to AIDS," said Dr Andrew Furber, of the South East Sheffield Primary Care Trust.
"Furber and his colleagues, who reported the findings in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, said tobacco smoke may increase susceptibility to HIV infection by modifying a variety of immune system responses."
As presented above, it is a hopeful idea that with a simple pen stroke, Mr. Obama could save billions of dollars to bail out our failing petrochemical economy that refuses to support the development of renewable energy, while it is being developed in civilized continents like South America and Europe. Such a pen stroke also could at the same time save many of our white 13 year-olds (like Ryan White who died of a liver bleed, and whose misfortune was exploited with the help of the moralistic Jesse Helms because he was a hemophiliac to advance the Ryan White Act during the Reagan administration). With the stroke of a pen, President Obama could even save the occasional “low risk” always faithful to her husband” soccer mom, boy-scout-leader dad, or world-class boxer like Tommy Morrison who tested "HIV" positive years ago but who now tests negative and whose career was ruined), or Arthur Ashe, or Kimberly Bergalis, or the Glasers, and countless others, from the devastation that will inevitably occur because of the universal testing now proposed by the CDC, the American Society of Pediatrics, the AMA, and other physician organizations to test everybody over the age of 13, everyone who enters an emergency room, the African American population of New York City, and of course, every infant born in a hospital. A pen stroke could save thousands of “low risk persons,” who will at low frequency, be convicted of being “HIV-positive” because they had a recent flu or hepatitis B vaccine.
If 2% of flu vaccine recipients, as Dr. Klausner from California writes in the New England Journal of Medicine, will express various “HIV” antibodies or epitopes (variants of molecules) after a flu vaccination in a country of 300,000,000 people, this means that six million people (2% of 300,000,000 people potentially could test positive for “HIV” antigens [Christian, P. Erickson, Todd McNiff, Jeffrey D. Klausner. Influenza Vaccination and False Positive HIV Results New England Journal of Medicine, Number 13 , Volume 354:1422-1423, March 30, 2006].
Josephson et al. (1) reported the results of a WESTERN Blot study that analyzed the assumed "HIV capsid protein” which is called p24. About the results of indeterminate patients (patients that aren’t either considered positive or negative), they claimed:
"Despite the fact the majority of p24-and p24/25-indeterminate specimens exhibited specific antibody reactivity with HIV core antigen (the P24 protein that supposedly forms the shell of the “HIV” virus), there was no evidence linking this reactivity to HIV infection. On the contrary, based on available data and limited patient information, we predict that HIV infection was not the cause in most cases…”
"A possible explanation for the specific p24 antibody reactivity in our patient population is that it represents cross-reactivity with another human retrovirus."
“HIV” was not the cause in MOST cases? In other words, these authors have claimed that although all of the samples tested were initially reactive, they "feel" that actuality none of the patients were really carrying "HIV," because 12 were from "low-risk groups" (perhaps they weren't black, or openly admitting that they had just experienced a 20 year addiction to heroin, crack or alcohol, or poppers, or were in fact pregnant, or had warts, or had a recent flu, hepatitis B, or tetanus vaccine, or had one of several dozen autoimmune diseases like arthritis that also generates “HIV-like DNA sequences” that are spuriously detected with PCR).
The explanation these AIDS researchers provided for the fact that none of the subjects who tested “HIV-positive were in fact “HIV-positive, is really quite imaginative. Perhaps these “HIV” test subjects were all infected with some other retrovirus to account for their indeterminate reactions (HTLV-5 is even suggested). So if you test indeterminate for "HIV" as all these 21 samples did, then perhaps you harbor "a different retrovirus," than “HIV.” Perhaps in time, this “other retrovirus” will lucratively be non-specifically linked to 99 previously known and described human diseases, instead of the mundane 48 previously known diseases that "HIV" is said to cause currently?
But pathologists, or scientists that have invented tests for diseases might have a somewhat different world-view of disease definitions than other scientists or doctors?
For instance, these authors forgot to mention that that alcoholic hepatitis, exposure to alpha interferon therapy, the presence of antibodies of healthy patients with high affinity for polystyrene used in different test kits, anti-carbohydrate antibodies, anti-collagen antibodies, arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, connective tissue disease, dermatomyostitis, tuberculosis, some strains of malaria, hemophilia, hepatitis, hemodialysis, high levels of circulating immune complexes, herpes simplex I and II, HLA antibodies (to Class I and II leukocyte antigens), hyperbilirubinemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, leprosy, lipemic serum, malaria, the presence of some malignant neoplasms, mycobacteriaum avium, non-specific detection of free ribonucleoproteins, organ transplantation, other retroviruses, the receipt of gamma globulin or immune globulin (as prophylaxis against infections), multiple transfusions, pregnancy especially in multiparous women, Q-fever with associated hepatitis, primary billiary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, recent tetanus, flu, or hepatitis B vaccination, T-cell leukocyte antibodies, chronic drug addiction, or visceral leishmaniasis are all known to be responsible for a false-positive cross-reactive HIV test results, as all of these (and about 40 other) factors or disease syndromes have been shown to generate false “HIV” positives (2).
AIDS diagnosis is different in different places.
To further emphasize the deadly absurdity and unnecessary expense of the current situation and policies regarding “HIV/AIDS,” if someone "HIV-positive" is diagnosed with AIDS in the U.S., all he/she has to do is go to Canada for another opinion, and voila (!), nineteen out of twenty times he/she will no longer be an AIDS patient, and thus not be prescribed the toxic drugs that actually bring mortality to slightly under half the recipients because of their "side effects," such as liver or pancreatic failure, neurological damage, lymphoma, mitochondria destruction, and heart attacks, all typically requiring millions of dollars for further palliative treatments.
One must also take into account, the colossal waste of lives and money that continues to occur because of the misguided and illogical surveillance definitions of “HIV/AIDS are different in different places. The standards for making an "HIV," "ARC," or "AIDS" diagnosis vary, and are different depending upon the country or region of a country where people are tested.
In 2001, the CDC's MMWR, Guidelines for Laboratory Test Result Reporting of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Ribonucleic Acid Determination, the recommendations from a CDC Working Group as of November 16, 2001 (50(RR20);1-12) reported that:
"Results obtained with available test methods are variable, and laboratories present these results in different ways, indicating that guidelines to promote standard practice in reporting of test results are warranted."
"No test reporting standardization exists; specifically, standard units of measurement of test methods have not been established. Laboratory viral load test reports should be accurate and adequate for patient treatment and public health monitoring of the HIV and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. To assure test reporting comparability among laboratories, standard methods are needed; moreover, standardized results are needed for early detection of infection, early access to patient care, and early detection of treatment failure."
In January 1, 2000, the CDC HIV-infection surveillance case definition was expanded to include viral load test results despite the fact that:
"In certain cases, laboratory slips indicated that HIV had been detected at a value below the test's lower limit (e.g., HIV detected was <400 copies/mL), or the laboratory slip provided an actual number of copies outside of the stated reportable range."
The National Institutes of Health and Henry J. Kaiser Foundation, USDepartment of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, 2001 have claimed the following (available at
Accessed July 20, 2001):
..."Until a common standard is available to use for normalizing values obtained with different assay methods, choosing one assay method is advisible when HIV RNA levels are monitored to guide therapeutic decision-making. The goal to develop a common standard for normalizing values obtained with different test kits has recently been reported."
"Available tests are not licensed for diagnosing HIV infection, but the viral load test results are used for reporting HIV infection to local and state health departments."
This was the state of affairs at the beginning of our new century. Things have become much worse since then.
In May 2000, President Clinton declared AIDS to be a national security threat. President Bush and Congress have spent huge funds for America, Africa, and elsewhere. In October 2008 $48 billion was given for Africa alone, to be spread over the next five years. Being directly under the purview of his executive office, and commandeering almost 1% of the entire Federal budget, it is imperative President Obama order a complete review of both the incredulously higher U.S. death rate compared to all other Western nations, and ascertain the truth of genuine African AID belatedly acknowledged by many authorities to be grossly overestimated.
United States annual “AIDS deaths” have been near 16,000 for many years, providing fodder for ceaseless news accounts. What is keep quiet however, and is censored may be more accurate, is that the U.S. death rate is twenty-five times European Union (EU) country citizens’ death rate. Other countries such as Canada right next door, Australia, and New Zealand, match the EU success, all with AIDS deaths having sunk to double digits, basically to background levels before the term AIDS was coined 24 years ago. The self-perpetuating U.S. death toll springs from an errant definition of AIDS employed solely in the U.S. that initiates toxic drug therapies, that in turn brings iatrogenic AIDS mortality, with U.S. health generals inexplicitly failing to learn from these resounding “successes.” Having demonstrated their commitment to their undeviating tragic course, it is up to the President to relieve the captain and officers of the leviathan U.S. AIDS War and “Challenger-sized disaster,” without a moment's delay.
Moreover, the preventable U.S. death toll, compared to success elsewhere, should be succinctly and logically explained to the public, politicians, and medical professionals. Equally important, there are many scientists with world-class credentials able to enlighten President Obama, and President Obama's administration must allow them to be heard and not filtered through layers of handlers, or the chiefs of NIH unwilling to review the truth amply shown all around the world.
Since other Western countries attribute a low WBC count as only an AIDS indicator “illness,” and despite having similar “HIV-positive” rates, other Western countries have but a tiny fraction of the U.S. AIDS diagnoses. Thus, few are given the toxic treatment drugs designed to raise the WBC count and suppress “viral load.” Perhaps the physicians of these countries realize that low WBC and CD4+ T lymphocyte counts (CD4 counts) are associated with a variety of conditions, including many viral infections, bacterial infections, parasitic infections, sepsis, tuberculosis, coccidioidomycosis, burns, trauma, intravenous injections of foreign proteins, malnutrition, over-exercising, pregnancy, corticosteroid use, normal daily variation, psychological stress, and social isolation? There are also a number of people (about 3-5% of non-"HIV-positives) who are completely healthy and who have low CD4 counts for no apparent reason.
However, in the U.S., even if and when WBC counts are optimistically raised, patients' clinical results and mortality have been the opposite. The results have been consistent annual U.S. AIDS cases of 39,000, with the high death toll already noted, clearly tied to the taking of treatment drugs. These deaths are usually blamed as “HIV-caused” even though scientists after 25 years on their medical Manhattan Project have never been able to elucidate how “HIV” actually kills cells, and have never been able to provide an electron microscope photo from the tissues or blood of an “HIV-positive” or “AIDS patient,” of such cellular murder. As for the real facts, minimal deaths in all other countries resoundingly implicate the U.S. AIDS definition and consequent treatment drugs: Germany with a population of 83 million had 73 "AIDS deaths" in 2006 and but 373 new "AIDS cases;" other 2006 examples include Sweden with 9 million having but 10 "deaths" and 59 new "AIDS cases," Canada with 33 million people
had but 34 "deaths" and 255 new "AIDS cases," and so on (Sources: EUROHIV; HIV/AIDS surveillance in Europe: end-year report 2006; Surveillance Report to Dec. 31, 2006, Public Health Agency of Canada).
In 2006, the December Senate approved Burr's bioterrorism bill-a bill just in time for Christmas to establish the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, commonly referred to as BARDA, which passed by unanimous consent. The bill describes how forced vaccines, quarantines, criminalization of “HIV” and other molecular diseases should be signed into law as the 'debate' regarding Bush's war in Iraq continued. Also in 2006, the massive recalls of “HIV-test kits” continued during the last decade. For example, the FDA recalled Vironostika HIV-1 test kit lots: 259606, 121566,1008926, 259606, 121567, 1008926, 259606,121568, 1008926, 259605, 259717,160342, 1011220, 259605, 259717,160339, 1011021, and said:
"These HIV-1 finished kit lots in the field have been reported to contain EnzAbody reagent that appears noticeably cloudy and/or flocculent, instead of clear and non-turbid as expected 30 minutes after reconstitution. Use of cloudy EnzAbody could possibly increase your risk of inaccurate HIV test results in patients and therefore should be avoided."
A more of less complete list of similar recalls would take volumes of tables to present here, but are available upon request of the reader.
Suffice it to say, those accused by these kits of being "HIV" positive are rarely informed about "HIV" testing accuracy as they prepare themselves for eventual death or perpetual toxic drugging, amounting to approximately $350,000/patient over the course of their "treatment" according to recent reports. For instance, in 2006, Dr. Bruce R. Schackman, chief of health policy at Cornell’s Medical College in New York and lead author of a paper appearing in Medical Care in 2006, a journal published by the American Public Health Association claimed that "...patients can live average 24 years, if they pay $385,000."
But there are legions of "HIV-positive" individuals who have escaped the State's reporting systems as well, who have never taken or who refused to take "HIV" tests or anti-retrovirals, and who also have lived for 24 years since the beginning of the AIDS era. The self-reported reasons for their disease-free and drug-free survival has been amply documented on documentaries that have won awards such as Special Jury Prize at the AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival (e.g. "The Other Side of AIDS").
In 2006, a nationwide team of AIDS researchers led by doctors Benigno Rodriguez and Michael Lederman of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland disputed the value of viral load tests-a standard used since 1996 to predict when progression to AIDS would occur in drug-naïve individuals, and to grant approval to new AIDS drugs, after their study of 2,800 HIV positives concluded that viral load measures failed in more than 90% of cases to predict or explain immune status (3):
“Viral load is only able to predict progression to disease in 4% to 6% of HIV-positives studied, challenging much of the basis for current AIDS science and treatment policy.”
And a major groundbreaking study affirms being "HIV-positive," by itself, is anything but a death sentence: Denmark's Dr. Nicolia Lohse, with seven co-investigators, published Jan. 16, 2007 in the Annals of Internal Medicine the status of every "HIV-positive" Denmark resident through the years 1995-2005. The study compared those "HIV-positive" to otherwise normal Danes, and tallied mortality of any cause, including drug overdose, accident, alcoholism, AIDS, etc. The study concluded that the life expectancy of Danes judged "HIV-positive" at age 25, taking the milder anti-viral drugs started in 2000, could expect another 39 years of life to age 64, compared to otherwise normal Dane life expectancy of 76.
What is even more striking in Lohse's charts is that 25% of those “HIV-positive” in the years' 2000-2005 cohort refused anti-viral drugs, yet had even lower mortality rates compared to the anti-“HIV” drug takers, the “HIV-positive” women refusing drug treatments in particular approaching a normal life span. Importantly, Lohse also states those "HIV-positives" typically had high health risks such as smoking, alcohol and other drug addiction, so it should hardly be surprising those “HIV-positive” would have a shorter life span than fellow Danes (who have less alcohol-related accidents, drug overdoses, or lung cancer/heart mortality).
Lohse's Denmark study, as do countless others, demolishes the entrenched belief that having "HIV" antibodies demands anti-viral treatments. In fact the opposite is true, as his study clearly documented the extraordinarily high mortality of those taking the earlier anti-virals like AZT. Again, these results emphatically contradict the belief that "HIV-positives” progress to deadly disease, unless anti-viral/retroviral drugs are taken for significant lengths of time.
In view of the Denmark study being published in January, 2007, in a major journal of wide readership and undoubtedly delivered to thousands of scientists' offices including the CDC and the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID), and also considering the low AIDS mortality enumerated for years in Europe's annual surveillance reports (available at the click of a mouse), the ignorance and continuance of big pharma-directed polices of the Global and U.S. health generals are appalling and unforgivable. As to the American press, their self-censoring of Europe's success (and Canada, Australia, and so on), and nonstop promoting of HIV hysteria, speaks for itself.
President Obama and Congressional leaders must demand of NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, having vainly been sent billions of dollars to understand "HIV," why he has not read Lohse’s study, or not learned from the other countries’ such as Germany's remarkable success over AIDS mortality.
The utter failure of NIAID cannot be tolerated for a day longer. For 20 years under Dr. Fauci, NIAID has directed hundreds of chemotherapeutic anti-HIV trials strictly limited to a first set of anti-viral/retroviral chemicals tested against a second set of toxic chemicals, without ever permitting a single true non-toxic placebo given to human subjects since the 1987 Fischl AZT trail, that was terminated prematurely, became un-blinded, had many sentences of medical records blacked out before the data was submitted due to a Freedom of Information Act Request. Patients in the AZT-treated arm were given transfusions to stay alive until all of them were placed on "the life saving medication" and eventually all died 3 years into the trail. (See John Lauritsen's books, 'The AIDS War; Propaganda, profiteering and genocide from the medical-industrial complex' (1993); and 'Poison by Prescription; The AZT Story' (1990); 'The AIDS Cult' (1997), and his essays entitled, 'AZT on Trial' (1987),

'Recovery from "AIDS"' (1993),
'The Death of Rudolf Nureyev' (1993), and 'The Poppers-Kaposi's Sarcoma Connection' (1994). Also see investigative journalist, Celia Ingrid Farber's damning essay, entitled, 'Sins of Omission; The AZT scandal' (1989).
The "Concorde" trial, a collaborative effort between researchers in the United Kingdom and in France, and the U.S. Veterans Administration's Study 298, both compared early and delayed AZT treatment, but the Concorde study researched asymptomatic patients at all CD4 levels, while the VA study included only symptomatic patients with CD4 levels of 200 to 500.
In 1992, The Veterans Affairs Co-operative Study Group reported that AZT disproportionately harmed Blacks and Hispanics, and provided no benefit to the quelling of advancing immune suppression in Caucasians, and harmed healthier subjects (early treated) more than persons considered to exhibit clinical symptoms of AIDS [JD Hamilton et. al. and the Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study Group. 'A controlled trial of early versus late treatment with zidovudine in symptomatic human immunodifficiency virus infection.' New England Journal of Medicine, 326: 437-434, 1992], and in 1994, the Concorde study, which was up until then the longest, largest, and most carefully controlled AZT trail reported:
"The results of Concorde do not encourage the early use of zidovudine in symptom-free HIV-infected adults. They also call into question the uncritical use of CD4 cell counts as a surrogate endpoint for assessment of benefit from long-term antiretroviral therapy" [Seligmann et al., Concorde: MRC/ANRS randomised double-blind controlled trial of immediate and deferred zidovudine in symptom-free HIV infection. Concorde Coordinating Committee. Lancet, Apr 9;343(8902):871-81, 1994].
The same kind of results obtained during these massive human drugging experiments was further emphasized after the first decade of HAART therapy where it was reported that:
Methods: We analyzed data from 22,217 treatment-naïve HIV-1-infected adults who had started HAART and were followed in one of 12 cohort studies. The probability of reaching 500 or less HIV-1 RNA copies per mL by 6 months, and the change in CD4 cell counts, were analyzed for patients starting HAART in 1995-96, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002-03. The primary endpoints were the hazard ratios for AIDS and for death from all causes in the first year of HAART, which were estimated using Cox regression.
Interpretation: Virological response after starting HAART improved over calendar years, but such improvement has not translated into a decrease in mortality. [The Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) cohort Collaboration-www.thelancet.com Vol 368, 451-58, August 5, 2006].
This comes as no surprise. Dr. Fauci's AIDS promotionalism began even before the AIDS era when he claimed that immune suppression is caused by doctors!
(The term AIDS promotionalism or Promoters of AIDS is being used here to indicate pharmaceutically myopic doctors like Fauci, who continue to advance the “HIV”=AIDS=Drug=Death paradigm against all the evidence which is obtainable in the mainstream scientific literature such as The Lancet, and the New England Journal of Medicine). Doctors cause immune suppression, Fauci claimed, if they subject their patients to multiple transfusions, transplant surgery, or corticosteroid administration, as these drugs and treatments can non-specifically induce AIDS-specific drops in T-cells with high frequency (4, 5). Fibrosis of the lung due to heavy crack cocaine use also was considered a potent inducer of the AIDS-defining illness PCP, by Fauci and many other “doctors” before the AIDS era. The expense to the American taxpayer of this iatrogenic carnage cannot even be calculated, but it would amount to a staggering amount of money that could by itself restore the American economy.
Perhaps reminder of a similar health catastrophe in recent history might here be presented in order to illustrate the potential magnitude of continuing to support the widespread drugging of persons throughout the world without sufficient time and study to determine how these rank poisons and toxins could affect millions of people.
What a difference it would make for our society and world under the Obama administration to direct public health policy not predicated upon failed and dangerous Pharma-doctor-prescribed and junk-science-based pogroms like those of the past that were predicated on fears, racism, homophobia, sexism, faith-based recommendations, or worse, as it was the case with The Church of Medicine's love affair with DES:
National Academy. Dr. Bern had exposed the dangers of DES (diethylstilboestrol)- a widely used synthetic oestrogen (Modified from DES action of Australia http://www.desaction.org.au/aboutdes.htm):
“Synthesised in 1938, laboratory studies showed animals administered DES developed mammary cancer, with high rates of fetal death, sterility and cancer in the offspring. Despite this, DES was approved for use in humans in 1940. Initially used to treat late pregnancy complications, by the mid 1940s the use was widened to include the prevention of miscarriage, i.e. for prophylactic use by women who had a history of miscarriage. However by 1949 DES was seen as making "a normal gestation more normal". By the early 1950s DES was being prescribed and marketed as a general pregnancy "tonic", mixed with vitamins and recommended for all pregnant women to ensure healthier pregnancies with "bigger and stronger" babies. A 1953 study showed, to the surprise of the researchers, that the DES-treated group experienced higher rates of miscarriage, premature labour and neonatal death than the control group, and the 1953 Dieckmann study was ignored. DES was already entrenched as standard obstetric clinical practice. Also by this stage DES was being aggressively promoted by the drug companies for use in all pregnancies. In 1971 it was discovered that DES caused clear cell cancer of the vagina/cervix in DES daughters. DES was thus proven to be carcinogenic in humans. Regardless of these findings, it was continued to be used as a treatment for acne, to dry up breast milk, as a contraceptive like a morning after pill, as hormone replacement therapy during menopause, as a treatment for "tall girls" to stunt their adult height, and to fatten up livestock to increase profits.”
“In 1981 landmark publication, 'Developmental Effects of DES in Pregnancy’ was edited by Arthur L Herbst and Howard A. Bern, which brought together leading experimental researchers and expert clinicians on DES. In an experiment on mice, Herbst and Bern showed that in later life, the immune system of DES exposed mice was suddenly compromised. Preliminary studies of DES daughters in the early 1980s indicated that DES exposure is linked with immune system problems, including a higher incidence of autoimmune disease, such as asthma, arthritis, diabetes, systemic lupus and thyroid dysfunction.”
Lohse's recent study, The Concorde and Veterans Affairs studies, and many others in the peer-reviewed literature that have published similar results, have drawn back this forbidden-placebo curtain with spectacular life expectancy revelations. Denmark's study, buttressed by countries' successes already enumerated, demands an American about face, to employ the scientific method not permitted for two decades. A thorough review by President Obama is also relevant in the most fundamental fiscal way, as spending on AIDS now comprises almost 1 percent of the entire federal budget, and at this point constitutes a complete waste of taxpayer monies, and worse.
As for Africa, news stories have leaked out from WHO officials admitting AIDS numbers had been greatly exaggerated beginning in the 1980's, and even most medical "experts" in the U.S. never have realized that most all African AIDS cases came from the "Bangui Definition," created in 1985 by WHO and CDC officials meeting in the Central African Republic capital city of Bangui 23 years ago.
This Bangui definition stated an African AIDS case was anybody having the three health conditions of a fever, weight loss, and diarrhea over the period of 30 days (or a cough instead of fever), requiring no medical tests whatsoever that would, if taken, typically be diagnosed as malaria, tuberculosis or scores of other identifiable, treatable diseases.
Instead, virtually all African disease mortality was wrongly piled together as "AIDS" and still is.
Until recently, in Africa, and due to a lack of medical infrastructure in many areas, persistent war in other regions, and the ravages of that continue because of Apartheid in South Africa, positive "HIV-AIDS" diagnoses have been made traditionally without the use of serological testing altogether, if the treating physician felt that a particular case of persistent diarrhea or persistent coughing or tuberculosis exhibited by their patients appeared to be an AIDS case. In addition, many of the cases of "AIDS" in Africa that the WHO uses for their dire estimates of 40 million infected were extrapolated from maternity clinics or with non-validated rapid tests, and in many cases collected only from where women are tested, and projected onto the rest of the population, who weren't pregnant (pregnancy itself is a known reason for false positives, according to the CDC). Therefore, the AIDS-defining illnesses may be different among Africans than among non-Africans, may differ among African males and females, and are different among those tested by the Red Cross, from those tested by the CDC. These differences in testing standards make it possible to test positive in the United States in the morning, and by flying to Canada and getting tested, one can test negative in the afternoon.
For twenty years, news stories, politicians, and drug companies exploited fear, promoting massive African AIDS cases that, in fact, never did exist, with "AIDS" cases bearing no relationship to immune deficiency caused by a virus. It is vital to further note that most of the $9.8 billion a year of U.S. tax dollars presently going to Africa (noted above) via PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief) is earmarked for the exact anti-viral drugs that have been causing the mortality of Americans the last 15 years, year after year, and with no solution in sight staying the present course.
But these facts have not deterred PEPFAR-in fact they have provided it's justification. Instead of critical examination of evidence, policies based on biblical rather than scientific evidence have been advanced. Noted and celebrated researchers such as Robert Bailey of the University of Illinois are given lavish praise for now promoting such ideas that all African males should be circumcised to prevent the spread of the dreaded "virus," "HIV." It is beyond belief and human reason that these pogroms based on these bizarre interpretations of reality continue to claim that Egyptian and Hebrew biblical practices such as circumcision has won out over pharmaceutical technologies, vaccines, microbicide campaigns, and breast feeding dissuasion campaigns designed to diminish Mother-To-Child Transmission of "HIV" (each of which except circumcision have been halted by various oversight and human protection committees recently due to their tendency to increase rather than decrease "HIV" incidence in these various African test populations). But a new AIDS ambassador might well ask if it is true if biblical approaches such as circumcision really reduces "HIV" incidence of African men in STD clinics typically presenting with multiple STD's and genital ulcers simply because AZT, HAART, microbicides, vaccines, breast feeding dissuasion campaigns, nevirapine, and condom crusades simply haven't worked, and bizarrely, have each except for circumcision have increased the level of morbidity in African "lab rats" before they were halted.
If you read Pasteur and believe in the “germ theory,” the failure to seroconvert to a positive “HIV” test result after 63 failed "HIV" vaccination trials which include even booster series (two or more vaccinations given sequentially) means that, the principles underlying immunology, biochemistry, genetics, epidemiology, virology, cell biology, pharmacology, neonatology, and cancer biology don’t apply to “HIV/AIDS,” or it means that the hypothesized "HIV” causation of “AIDS,” and the imagined molecular biological causal basis of AIDS and several other "molecular diseases," whose science the AIDS era was based upon, have generated catastrophic disasters that require our immediate attention so that we can revise these vehemently defended deadly, and expensive Public Health policies that continue to ruin the lives of millions.
It is not accidental, that all of these "molecular diseases" that are in question are those syndromes, and their molecular markers, that have had some connection with cancer, and which have been blamed on such processes as supernatural abilities to mutate, “oncogenes,” “retroviruses,” the enzyme reverse transcriptase, and the concept of “slow viruses.”
Proof of the logic of this statement in the context of "HIV/AIDS" is simply realized by considering the contradiction regarding how some 33 million people in the world that are said to be "infected" and walking around with specific molecules of “HIV” in their bodies, or with molecules generated by the body’s response to “HIV,” while only 24/741 or 19/672 “HIV” vaccinated individuals seroconverted after vaccination in the recent STEP trials. Those few who appeared to have produced antibodies to “HIV” after vaccination, or even after two vaccinations as the recently aborted “HIV” STEP trials demonstrated, and in the 62 prior "HIV" vaccine trials, couldn’t even show appropriate T-cell responses in most cases as evidence that something foreign had been injected into their bodies. The control group not given “HIV” molecules had less “seroconversion” in response to their control injection, while the “HIV-component” vaccinated showed slightly more “HIV-positive” signals, but the differences between the two groups weren’t significant. But to erect a smoke screen to cover this massive blunder, it was a result interpreted and fed to the press by the promoters of AIDS as evidence that the “HIV-vaccinated” went out for some reason and had more “risky” behaviors than the control vaccinated group, which is why the trial was aborted, or that they had more susceptibility to the worthless adenoviral vector used as a carrier, or that they had “more or fatter” cellular targets for “HIV” to “infect.”
It should be emphasized that this Step Trail result is why one of the AIDS Czars, Anthony Fauci, cancelled the so-called upcoming PAVE “HIV” vaccine trial, until the scientific basis for the “HIV/AIDS” paradigm is re-examined. The failure of another large millions of dollar AIDSVAX vaccine trail a few years ago, also forced Robert Gallo to publish in the form of damage control letters in the world famous Science magazine, that a sound rationale for future vaccine trials is needed before trials should continue, and before the public’s faith in vaccines and AIDS paradigm (and gargantuan AIDS funding) is undermined by repeated vaccine trial failures. Dr. Gallo even compared the failure of the STEP trial to 'The Challenger disaster.'
Considering the failure of no less than the 62 previous “HIV” vaccine trials that are on the record (and which can be provided upon request to the reader), and the “Challenger-sized” disaster claimed for the recently aborted STEP trial that was discontinued because it increased, rather than decreased the rate of acquiring an “HIV-positive” test results among the vaccinated, isn't it about time that we heed Dr. Fauci’s and Dr. Gallo’s suggestions to re-examine the entire basis of “HIV/AIDS” "science?" Or should we continue to reward failure after failure, as was horrifically demonstrated a few years ago when the promoters of AIDS asked for, and received a $870 million dollar taxpayer-provided gift (Donald Francis's VAXGEN) to dump their failed "HIV" AIDSVAX vaccine program, and then manufacture an even more problematic, ineffective, and dangerous anthrax vaccine in the name of National Security? Although many of the 63 recorded "HIV" vaccine trials were smaller than these colossal disasters and wasting of our tax dollars just mentioned, they do add up, and then often usher in even more no-bid contracts totaling in the billions for continued failure.
The available evidence suggests that the simplest explanation for the vaccination failures and other failures of the “HIV=AIDS=Death paradigm is that the injected components of "HIV," and the antibody responses to these components, have nothing to do with a virus that is foreign to the human body, or infectious, or which should be aggressively treated with toxic drugs. This evidence also suggests that there are clearly identifiable reasons to explain why one of the leading causes of AIDS death today in the United States of America are iatrogenic (doctor-induced) deaths, and that the leading cause of death among “AIDS patients” has come to be liver failure, heart attacks, gastroenteritis, anemias, kidney failure, infectious diseases that form bacterial biofilms, and other non-AIDS-defining syndromes.
The slippery slope of institutionalized racism and homophobia, and what are the probable causes of “HIV?”
It is easy to find fault with Public Health policies, but can the iatrogenic and pharmaceutical carnage that is currently occurring in the name of "HIV/AIDS" be replaced by a more rational science, and effective public policy? As with any science based on an assumption, it is that assumption, and typically the origin of that assumption, that is baseless. For example, a likely explanation of the origin of “HIV” comes not from notions of monkey or ape-to human transmission of a virus due to Africans smearing monkey blood on their loins for sexual orgies as published in The Lancet and other top journals at the beginning of the AIDS era (6), nor was "HIV" likely transmitted to African children or their parents by playing with or by eating dead monkeys or chimps as "bush-meat" because their parents couldn't find or afford toys or food (7), or by Africans in Cameroon building cities 125 years ago and having “close associations with chimps” as was published this last October 2008 in Nature and news-flashed around the world. As recently as this last year, for instance, and in no less a journal than Nature we find that, unfortunately, Western racism continues:
“2008, October. News Flash: “HIV/AIDS Originated 125 Years Ago, Spread from Chimps to Humans…”
“TUCSON, Arizona, October 2, 2008 (ENS) - New research indicates that the most pervasive global strain of HIV began spreading among humans as early as 1884, suggesting that growing urbanization in colonial Africa through
the early 1900s set the stage for the current HIV/AIDS pandemic. More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981, and at least 30 million people are living with the disease today.”
“The estimated period of origin, much earlier than the previous estimate of 1930, coincides with the establishment and rise of urban centers in West-Central Africa where the pandemic HIV strain, HIV-1 group M, emerged.”
“The growth of cities and associated high-risk behaviors may have been the key change that allowed the virus to flourish, scientists believe.”
“The research, led by Michael Worobey, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona in Tucson, was co-sponsored by the National Institute Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. The findings are published in the current issue of the journal Nature."
“Research shows that the HIV virus spread from chimps to humans in Southeastern Cameroon. Worobey said the resulting HIV epidemic amonghumans correlates to the growth of urban centers near this area, principally the present-day city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which began as a colonial center for Belgium.”
What research? From flawed and highly suspect comparisons of chimp and human "HIV" sequences? Although out of political correctness this 2008 racist Nature-published interpretation of "HIV" spreading from chimps to humans in the vicinity of Cameroon isn't as clearly spelled out as it was when Robert Gallo and Max Essex claimed that their first human and mistaken “cancer retrovirus,” "HTLV-1," was spread during the "slave trade," and which according to them also was associated with black people and monkeys during the transcontinental forced slavery and transport of 100 million Africans and monkeys more than a Century ago. It is far more likely because of modern molecular evidence, that “HIV” originated not from Africans, African Americans, Haitians, African-non-human primate “associations,” or from anyone else harboring a lot of melanocytes or who lives close to non-human primates ("HTLV-1 was the so-called first human cancer retrovirus upon whose isolation and epidemiological techniques and assumptions the "HTLV-III/"HIV" paradigm was based).
It was in this context, and disturbingly, that HTLV-III (later called “HIV-1") was introduced at a press conference given by Margaret Heckler and Robert Gallo, as being “a variant of a known human cancer virus,” and it was announced that “HTLV-III” was “the probable cause of AIDS.” In May, and in the months following the press release, four papers from Dr. Gallo’s laboratory claiming that the HTLV-III retrovirus was the cause of AIDS were published in Science. These are the 4 papers that established that “HIV’s” signature was present in 1/3 of “bona-fide AIDS patients” rather than associated with serum samples from a few ARC and one Kaposi’s patients (as Montagnier and Barre-Sinoussi’s work the year before had claimed), and these papers constituted the experimental basis of the hypothesis that “HIV” causes “AIDS.”
The initial description and press release by Margaret Heckler of “HIV” as a known variant of a cancer virus in retrospect was perhaps unfortunate, because as stated by Gallo and Montagnier in a 2003 New England Journal of Medicine article (Gallo RC., Montagnier LM. The discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS. NEJM Vol. 349:2283-2285, December 2003), the molecular signature that was associated with “HIV,” was derived from the same techniques used to characterize the molecular signatures of Gallo’s previous putative cancer viruses, “HTLV-I” and “HTLV-II.” But the team claimed that “HTLV-III (“HIV”) was distinctly different from Gallo’s leukemia-associated retroviral signatures of “HTLV-I” and “HTLV-II.”
The patent and intellectual property issues of the U.S. and French governments surrounding the creation of an “AIDS” blood test to protect the blood supply also proved to be an unfortunate series of confusing and hateful events that made possible accusations against the American-French collaboration that virtually insured suspicion of the “HIV=AIDS” hypothesis, and served, it could be argued, to derail progress toward defining AIDS.
Gallo becomes a shepherd and scientific peer review is avoided:
Despite an initial claimed concordance between the “LAV” and “HIV” signatures in isolates from what were then defined as ARC or AIDS patients, and by accident, a different contaminated isolate was then sent from The Pasteur Institute to Bethesda, and it was said to have “infected” the cultures of the Gallo group, Robin Weiss’s group in England, and at least several other laboratories. Research in these labs was thus confounded for at least the next year (Robert Gallo, personal communication), and despite the fact that Gallo shepherded through the 1983 Barre-Sinnousi et al. paper through to publication because it didn’t pass initial review, the American-French collaboration and patent on the blood test was to be plagued by numerous accusations of stealing, deception, misconduct, and fraud. Shepherding of papers occurs frequently among cooperating scientific groups, and as such, such papers are not rigorously “peer-reviewed.” The interests of the U.S. and French governments regarding the patenting of an a blood test, fear of contagion, religious views regarding morality, sex, and drugs, and politics began an era that perhaps should be characterized as the most politicized disease in history. And even though it was finally concluded that there was no misconduct found in either the Gallo/Papovic case, the numerous accusations, and the lengthy and costly investigations of misconduct and blame only served to polarize those involved and those critical of them, and the charges of wrong doing only fueled bitter rivalry and criticism that has lasted for more than two decades.
The Gonda letter said there was no “HIV,” HTLV-I,” “HTLV-II,” or “HTLV-III in the Papovic/Gallo samples:
The molecular markers that became known as “HIV” in isolates that Montagnier’s and Gallo’s group tied to a clinical syndrome in bone-fide AIDS patients and one putative ARC patient as the Pasteur had intensively studied, constituted a strong motive for many to pursue in depth, the nature and meaning of that molecular signature. In November, of 1984, the Pasteur Institute investigators published the genetic sequence of “LAV.” Many, however, were critical of the strength of Montagnier’s and Gallo’s correlation between “HIV’s” molecular markers and the disease syndromes to which these signatures were associated because of documents that became available during the numerous investigations such as the following, by the Head of the Electron Microscopy Lab at the NCI. It is significant because it was apparently sent one month before the Heckler-Gallo Press release and the Papovic/Gallo et al., publications in Science, as provided by the investigative medical journalist, Janine Roberts:

Dear Mica
I am sending you 4 extra copies of results requested by Betsy Read. She said Dr. Gallo wanted these micrographs for publication because they con-tained HTLV particles. If this assumption is based on the cultures being antigen positive, I would like to point out that the “particles” in micro-
graph 0905 are in debris of a degenerated cell. No other extracellular “virus-like particles” were observed free between cells anywhere in the pellet. The small extracellular vesicles in 0904 are at least 50% smaller than HTLV mature particles seen in type I, II, or III. Again, these vesi-cles can be found in any cell pellet. I do not believe any of the particles
photographed are HTLV I, II, or III.

Gallo’s “36% Causality:” “HIV” causes AIDS!
An articulate analysis of these and other criticisms have been recently presented in retrospect by The New AIDS Review (http://www.newaidsreview.org/blog/index.phphas), especially the data presented in Gallo May 4th Science paper (Science May 4 2004, Frequent detection and isolation of cytopathic retrovirsuses (HTLV-III) from patients with AIDS and at risk for AIDS…") about which the Gonda letter preceded:
“Gallo didn't find HIV in 48 out of samples from 48 AIDS patients, as he keeps implying. He found whatever he took as the signature or signal for it in 26 out of 72 samples of AIDS patients, which is rather different 36%. The rest of the 48 came from pre-AIDS patients (who may have had nothing but a cold) and three mothers (who were perfectly well) and 1 clinically well gay man out of 22 (who later developed AIDS). 119 in total from which 48 scored positive.”
As reviewed by Michael Geiger, Executive Director of HEAL San Diego (Health Education AIDS Liason):
“Robert Gallo's claim that HIV is the cause of AIDS was first put forward on the basis of four papers he published in Science; May 4 1984 issue. (Popovic M, Sarngadharan MG, Read E, et al. Detection, Isolation, and Continuous Production of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and Pre-AIDS. Science 1984;224:497-500.; Gallo RC, Salahuddin SZ, Popovic M, et al. Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS. Science 1984;224:500-502; Schupbach J, Popovic M, Gilden RV, et al. Serological analysis of a Subgroup of Human T-Lymphotrophic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) Associated with AIDS. Science 1984;224:503-505; Sarngadharan MG, Popovic M,Bruch L, et al. Antibodies Reactive to Human T-Lymphotrophic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) in the Serum of Patients with AIDS. Science 1984:224:506-508).”
“A press conference at the time, arranged and conducted by Margaret Heckler, then Secretary of Health and Human Services for the Reagan administration, claimed that his work in the soon-to-be-published papers had shown that HIV was the "probable" cause of AIDS.”
“The New York Times (EIS-Epidemiology Intelligence Service trainee) Lawrence K. Altman) reported the news of the claim but his article contained six or seven caveats to the effect that the claim might not bear out.”
“When the papers were published for all to see, it turned out to be insufficient to demonstrate the claim. Gallo had found the virus in too few of the AIDS patients with actual AIDS symptoms - only 26 out of 72, or 36% - to substantiate his claim. He was unable to demonstrate the presence of the virus in two thirds - 64 per cent - of the AIDS patients sampled.”
Here are the figures as shown in Table 1 of the paper "Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and Risk for AIDS", Robert C. Gallo, Syed Z. Salahuddin, Mikulas Popovic, et al, Science, May 4, 1984: 224:500-502:
Group Diagnosed: Number positive for HTLV-III/Number tested/Percent positive
Pre-AIDS?: 18/ 21 85.7% !!!!!
Clinically normal mothers of juvenile AIDS patients: 3/47 5.0%
Juvenile AIDS: 3/ 8 37.5%
Adult AIDS with Kaposi's sarcoma: 13/ 43 30.2% !!!!!
Adult AIDS with opportunistic infections: 10/ 21 47.6% !!!!!!
Clinically normal homosexual donors: 1/ 22 4.5%
Clinically normal heterosexual donors: 0/115 0%
Or as noted in the article:
“As summarized in Table 1, we found HTLV-III in 18 of 21 samples from patients with “pre-AIDS,” from three of four clinically normal mothers of juvenile AIDS patients, 13 of 43 adult AIDS patients with Kaposi's sarcoma, and 10 of 21 adult AIDS patients with opportunistic infections.”
This result partly veiled the stark failure of the sampling to identify persuasively HIV as a cause of AIDS. For the sum total of AIDS patients with symptoms of AIDS - the groups in bold in the table above - was that in ONLY 26 (3 +13 +10) out of 72 (8 + 43 + 21) cases was the Gallo lab able to show HTLV-III virus detected and isolated.
26 of 72, or 36%, was insufficient to demonstrate that HIV was the plausible cause of the AIDS symptoms or their underlying immune deficiency. If anything, the testing demonstrated that HTL-III was certainly not a plausible cause of AIDS.
Michael Gottlieb, the first to describe AIDS in LA in his 1981 paper, found cytomegalovirus in 100% of his patients, and Montagnier’s Patient One also had cytomegalovirus, but Gottlieb wisely concluded that CMV was “opportunistic” and not “causal,” while Montagnier published that “LAV” was “associated with” and not causal, despite his quite acceptance of the Nobel a few months ago.
But Gallo concluded: ‘These studies of HTLV-III isolates from patients with AIDS and pre-AIDS and from healthy individuals at risk for AIDS provide strong evidence of a causative involvement of the virus in AIDS.’
Thus contrary to subsequent headlines the Science paper did not state firmly that HTLV-III (later renamed Human Immunodeficiency Virus) was the cause or even a "probable" cause of AIDS, only that there was evidence of a "causative involvement” of the virus in AIDS.
In another paper of the four (Sarngadharan MG, Popovic M,Bruch L, et al. Antibodies Reactive to Human T-Lymphotrophic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) in the Serum of Patients with AIDS. Science 1984:224:506-508), however, the claim was bolder:
‘The data presented here and in the accompanying reports suggest that HTLV-III is the primary cause of AIDS.’
The low figure of only 36% of AIDS patients with symptoms that had HTLV-III virus present was excused in an accompanying news report in a Science Research News column by Jean Marx as possibly due to deterioration of the samples.
When the investigators calculated the percentage, they used the total of all the AIDS samples sent to them, even though some had deteriorated to the point where they were of questionable value for analysis.
The paper itself had noted:
“The incidence of virus isolated reported here probably underestimates its true incidence since many tissue specimens were not received or handled under what we now recognize as ideal conditions. This is particularly so for the samples received from late stage AIDS patients.”
That is to say, 26 of the 72 with AIDS tested positive for the virus, 22 of the 47 who did not have AIDS (asymptomatic or pre-AIDS- i.e mild and non-AIDS specific symptoms), suggesting that HTLV-III positivity was a poor guide as to who would develop AIDS symptoms. Later, this problem was solved by counting as AIDS only those who were HTLV-III positive, a practice that continues to this day, and cements the circular logic that:
“HIV-positive result+pneumonia=AIDS-----treatment with antiretrovirals and bactrim.
“HIV-negative result+pneumonia=pneumonia=treatment for 28 days with bactrim alone.
To put it even more bluntly, the paper’s landmark finding is the reason why Gallo is forced to leave the number “forty-eight” standing out there in his letter all by itself, not saying 48 out of how many, because in fact he found the virus in blood from 48 individuals out of 119, and 22 of the 48 did not have AIDS, rather than all of them being “individuals who had AIDS.
It also should be emphasized here that “HIV” did not emerge from a Special Virus Program or U.S. government conspiracy for population control or for germ warfare. "HIV" did not crawl out from a monkey or chimp kidney culture used during the manufacture the hepatitis B vaccine or other vaccines, and certainly it didn’t occur during these “close associations” between Africans and non-human primates that Gallo and Essex like to imagine for each “slow-virus” these “slow virologists” like to invent.
The probable cause of “HIV” is….a retroid:
Recent studies in gene research and molecular biology suggest that the so-called specific markers of “HIV” are produced by our own non-specific endogenous DNA sequences called retroelements or "retroids."
A retroid is a special kind of mobile gene sequence that has been associated with diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and with normal biological functions involving the placenta (8) and umbilical cord, as exhibited by the cord-derived lymphocytes Montagnier used to propagate so-called Patient One’s “LAV-infection” In Vitro, and the accompanying electron micrographs of viral like particles. It is known that these retroid sequences make cellular proteins that are expressed by normal uninfected (healthy) yeast, insects, and a variety of mammals (9), 50% of healthy dogs (10), "uninfected" rhesus monkeys, chimps, and humans (11).
Retroelements are now known to be important sequences for telomere replication at the tips of normal and cancer cell chromosomes (12). Once claimed by AIDS scientists to be a specific molecular component required for "HIV" replication, retroids and specifically reverse transcriptase(RT) are now seen frequently in market magazines concerning biotechnology
stocks (13, 14) in the context of normal, non-pathological situations, despite what AIDS promoters like Robert Gallo, Max Essex, Anthony Fauci, Mark Wainberg, John Moore, Julie Gerberding, the CDC, and the thousands of other AIDS promoters continue to claim about the specificity of RT, p24, and the other mistaken exogenous proteins or glycoproteins used as a surrogate markers for detecting a supposed exogenous retrovirus, “HIV.”
p24, a protein once thought to be the unique capsid protein that supposedly makes up the proteinaceous shell of “HIV,” is now known to be expressed in the thymus glands of "HIV-negative" children (15). An "HIV" positive result can also occur simply when some infants are exposed to the proteins in cow's or goat's milk (16). Two-percent of people will test positive transiently after the flu vaccine (17), or hepatitis B vaccine (18), and as mentioned before, normal pregnant women are known to frequently test false positive (19), as do individuals who test under conditions of physiological or extreme emotional stress caused by disease, drugs, oxidation, malnutrition, a fatal diagnosis, and because of dozens of other factors or reasons (20), but paradoxically, not after specific "HIV" sequences or proteins are directly injected into "HIV-negative" "HIV-vaccine recipients after 63 failed “HIV” vaccine trials.
That these endogenous human genetic elements exist but yet are ill-defined has been shown again and again to be likely from studies on presumptively named "HERV's" (Human Endogenous Retro-Viruses) such as the "Phoenix viruses" (presumptively named because nobody has shown that endogenous
infectious "retroviruses" exist). "HERV's" (viral-like particles that look like "HIV" virus particles are supposed to look) can be produced by infecting (transfecting in Petri dishes) cells with certain sequences of DNA or RNA (21), which then are replicated and packaged by the cells into virus-like "enveloped" particles that look identical to "HIV." Modern
analyses of the human genome database (which presumably wasn't derived from anyone infected with "HIV") have revealed more than 120, 000 full-length retroids containing (once thought to be) specific viral reverse transcriptase transcripts (22).
Although the promoters of "HIV=AIDS" are always saying the "HIV virus's" reverse transcriptase sequence and other parts of it's genome are mutating every time a patient dies while on “life saving” anti-retroviral drugs that supposedly target this and other "HIV-specific" gene sequence products, genomic analyses show that these retroid reverse transcriptase elements are among the most stable transcripts that make up these retroids. In other words, amongst gene sequence analysts, some of whom are developing this hypothesis instead of trying to pin the origin of "HIV" on black people's association with monkeys or apes in Cameroon, or elsewhere, it is the sequence stability rather than the instability or mutability of the reverse transcriptase sequence itself that make these 120,000 retro-element sequences possible to classify as distinct DNA sequences (22), while at the same time, the AIDS Establishment points to the mutability of these same sequences as the reason why they have failed to find a stable target in "the AIDS virus," or why they believe that many viruses ultimately derive from Africans, or black peoples (West Nile was "isolated" from a healthy Ugandan woman who had a cold, Hepatitis B was isolated from a black Australian Aboriginal gentleman, the 6 "HIV-associated cancers, ultimately came from non-human primates through Africans, etc).
In conclusion, these facts are added to the political-economic inevitabilities of The Church of Modern Medicine’s Dark-Ages view of Mankind, the formula for disaster becomes especially toxic. This view isn't that Man is now viewed and treated as if he is inherently sinful, but instead, Man is viewed as inherently physically sick, and in need of medicine, doctors, and medical care from the moment of birth to death.
In the case of “HIV/AIDS,” it all becomes heartbreaking and life-ending. It isn’t just restless leg syndrome, mind you, or the suggestion that our children who are wildly obese begin their statin regimens, or prozac if they are aggressive or moody. And it isn’t that the CDC wants all infants and children to get 20 vaccines or ban our children from entering schools, or charge their parents $500.00 dollars/day until they vaccinate, as what happened to mostly Black parents in New Jersey recently. You will be convicted of murder if you don’t tell folks “your status.”
For “HIV-positives,” no less than scarlet letters, or tattoos, have been suggested. These people are not human. They are dehumanized, and this is a difficult thing for people like us (and probably you) to understand At a minimum, it should be stated clearly that after knowing many of these brave souls during the past 25 years, words are lacking for sure to properly convey the extent of their dehumanization due to the stigma of AIDS.
Let it be expressed this way: “HIV-positives” have no basis for believing they deserve human rights or that they are actually human beings. They can’t travel or enter the U.S. without great hardship. Their doctors won’t even touch their breast cancer biopsies, and will run out of the examining room (as in the Audrey Serrano case and many others). As the German philosopher Nietzsche once described it, these folks are "undermenchen, " that really have no business living amongst "ubermenchen" (underman versus overman), and they should be identified, and then “weeded out.”
The pure and proud institutionalized racisim and homophobia that emerges from such a belief system is no different than what the Nazi's achieved: "infected" or “defective people” eventually should be sterilized or weeded out of the gene pool completely through various eugenics pogroms.
They shouldn't be allowed to reproduce or pass on their "infections" or defects. These individuals will eventually include, the mentally and emotionally "different,"
as well as homosexuals, criminals, Africans, Hispanics, Jews, Muslims, Zorastrians, Amish, “HIV-positives,” perhaps pianists someday, and other groups that may be deemed “high risk.”
Even when there is no illness, but simply a molecular signature or marker detected by the medical establishment, these people should not be allowed to reproduce or pass their "infection" to others without facing criminal charges and incarceration. The people themselves have no worth, as you see them come into
your examination office. It's easy to convince them of this logic, and continuously reinforce it, when mandated by The State. Have they been "compliant" you ask? Do they “know their status?” Do you know your status?
Meanwhile, even while experiencing perfect health but now carrying the State Government-reportable "HIV-infection," the patient begins the long struggle with paralyzing feelings of isolation and violence against them, that they feel is directed at them. Anger, pain, and great paranoia are commonly described. They have a high suicide rate as they internalize these feelings, because who would wish to live under these circumstances?
If it is a child of a parent who "is infected" (despite a 60% sero-reversion rate after 9-18 months after birth), the parents can be held for criminal negligence unless they submit to having the children drugged to death, or to the extent that neurological demise develops or drug-induced diseases, as in the case of the more than 300 orphans drugged through g-tubes with 7 black box label drugs at New York’s Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC), and elsewhere (Chicago's Northwestern Hospital), or, when many of them are taken away from the natural parents or legal guardians to be made compliant with the drug regimens, after which only about 80 deaths were eventually admitted in one trial (at ICC).
Mothers and infants who are “HIV-positive” are dissuaded from bonding during the time of birth, and parents are brow beaten and threatened by The State in many cases to force their infant to imbibe black-box-label drugs through forced administration or through surgically-implanted g-tubes with drugs that have been shown to be able to induce brain abnormalities, liver failure, stunted growth, and death. To do otherwise is, irresponsible.
Why not predicate these global policies upon proper science and honest empirical assessments of truly promising programs as advocated by Doctors Without Borders, as opposed to the pharma-directed and iatrogenic perversions of science that have and are still occurring among The Church of Modern Medicine, politicians, the media, and a highly dishonest and self-promoting bunch of pharma and foundation-backed scientists like John Moore of Cornell's Medical college? One example of such a promising program should suffice, and also, should guide the future Global AIDS Coordinator, whomever this person will be now that Dybul has been "relieved." Here are a few segments from a story that recently appeared on 60 minutes:
DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS NEEDS MONEY FOR PLUMPYNUT: SAY CHILDREN NEED FOOD, NOT DRUGS:
Oct. 21, 2007. Doctors Without Borders Briefing Paper: Food Is Not Enough: African children need food, not drugs (See the video free at:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/19/60minutes/main3386661.shtml).
Plumpynut is cheap, nutritious and needs no refrigeration. It is saving starving children in the developing world and could save more … if there were more of it.
You've probably never heard a good news story about malnutrition, but you’re about to. Every year, malnutrition kills five million children -- that's one child every six seconds. But now, the Nobel Prize-winning relief group "Doctors Without Borders" says it finally has something that can save millions of these children.
It's cheap, easy to make and even easier to use. What is this miraculous cure? As CNN's Anderson Cooper reports, it's a ready-to-eat, vitamin-enriched concoction called "Plumpynut," an unusual name for a food that may just be the most important advance ever to cure and prevent malnutrition.
"It's a revolution in nutritional affairs," says Dr. Milton Tectonidis, the chief nutritionist for Doctors Without Borders.
"Now we have something. It is like an essential medicine. In three weeks, we can cure a kid that is looked like they're half dead. We can cure them just like an antibiotic. It’s just, boom! It's a spectacular response," Dr. Tectonidis says.
"It's the equivalent of penicillin, you’re saying?" Cooper asks.
"For these kids, for sure," the doctor says.
No kids need it more than a group of children 60 Minutes saw in Niger, a desperately poor country in West Africa, where child malnutrition is so widespread that most mothers have watched at least one of their children die.
Why are so many kids dying? Because they can't get the milk, vitamins and minerals their young bodies need. Mothers in these villages can't produce enough milk themselves and can't afford to buy it. Even if they could, they can't store it -- there’s no electricity, so no refrigeration. Powdered milk is useless because most villagers don't have clean water. Plumpynut was designed to overcome all these obstacles.
Plumpynut is a remarkably simple concoction: it is basically made of peanut butter, powdered milk, powdered sugar, and enriched with vitamins and minerals. It tastes like a peanut butter paste. It is very sweet, and because of that kids cannot get enough of it.
The formula was developed by a nutritionist. It doesn't need refrigeration, water, or cooking; mothers simply squeeze out the paste. Many children can even feed themselves. Each serving is the equivalent of a glass of milk and a multivitamin.
Niger has become Plumpynut's proving ground. A daily dose costs about $1; small factories mix it here and in three other African countries. Tectonidis says other companies could make similar products wherever children need them.
"There's many countries in Africa now saying, 'We want a factory. We want a factory.' Well let's give it to them," he says. "We just have to focus on these areas. We don’t have to feed the whole world. We have to go for the jugular. Where are they dying? Where are they wasted? That’s where we have to intervene. If you feed them well until they're two or three years old it's won. They're healthy, they can get a healthy life. If you miss that window, it's finished."
Normally a children's hospital 60 Minutes visited would have more patients than beds. But now, thanks to Plumpynut, it has empty beds. Dr. Susan Shepherd, a pediatrician from Butte, Mont., runs Doctors Without Borders in Niger.
She says children that would have been hospitalized in the past can now be treated at home. "The reason we can do that is because we can give children Plumpynut here in the ambulatory center, and they take a week’s ration home. Moms treat their children at home and come back every week for a weight check," Dr. Shepherd explains.
CBS) If Plumpynut is the answer, how come kids are still dying?
"The answer is getting to kids earlier," Shepherd says. "Once children are as sick as she is, Plumpynut is not gonna save her."
Rashida was buried in a nearby cemetery. The grave digger, Salifu Ibrahim, told 60 Minutes he used to dig graves for about seven children a day, but now, on most days, he digs only one.
Asked why he thinks fewer children are dying, Ibrahim says, "It is God’s will."
God's will and Plumpynut.
Two years ago this region had the highest malnutrition rate in Niger. But now, after widespread use of the Plumpynut, it has the lowest. Dr. Shepherd told Cooper they’ll be able to treat more than 120,000 kids this year, up from just 10,000 children three years ago.
It's hard to imagine a less industrialized country than Niger. On a list of 177 developing countries, the United Nations ranked Niger dead last -- least developed. More than 70 percent of the people don’t know how to read. Most work in the fields and earn less than a dollar a day. Nomadic goat herders still roam this land -- their children and their kids travel by camel. Goats seem to be the main garbage disposal, but clearly the goats are falling behind. You can still spot a skinny guard dog, but we were told all the cats have been cooked.
In the countryside, where 85 percent of people live, girls start marrying as young as 11 years old. By the age of 15 most are wed, and by 16 most have already become mothers. The average woman here will give birth at least eight times in her lifetime. But largely because of malnutrition, one in five of their children will die before they reach the age of five. Of those who survive, half will have stunted growth and never reach full adult height.
But now, with Plumpynut, more children are surviving and thriving.
Doctors Without Borders is asking for more of this type of food. Their success in Niger proves, they say, that fortified ready-to-eat products, like Plumpynut, save children's lives. Dr. Tectonidis says if the United States and the European Union were willing to spend part of their food aid on this, more companies will start making it.
"Even by taking a miniscule proportion of the global food aid budget, they will have a huge impact, huge impact!" Tectonidis says. "We're not even asking for billions. It will solve so much of the underlying useless death. So we gotta do that now."
"It's useless death," Cooper remarks.
"Wasted life. Just totally wasted life for nothing. Because they don't have this product, little a bit of peanut butter with vitamins," Tectonidis says. "What a waste."

DEAR SENATOR OBAMA-THE CDC RECOMMENDS UNIVERSAL HIV TESTING WHICH IS A FAITH-BASED AND NOT A SCIENTIFIC RECOM-MENDATION.
Dear Mr. Obama,
You are a wonderful Senator and I will vote for you again. But you should be aware that Representative Mary Flowers' promotion of the CDC and IDPH recommendation for universal “HIV” screening of all Illinois citizens and indeed all Americans is a faith-based recommendation, and not a scientific one. Due to your recent media-projected "HIV" testing, you could be in grave if not mortal danger. I'd hate to see your life ruined, and the potential good you will do for Illinois and the nation thwarted, because of medical and scientific ignorance, and because of institutionalized racism regarding "HIV" among many of my peers in the scientific/medical establishment.
I'm aware that your wife, as well, has pioneered outreach programs at the University of Chicago. These are the programs that are most needed, not for "HIV" testing, or drugging, but for high blood pressure, diabetes, and other programs. I hope that she knows about the testing issue as I have tried to convey here to you.
Sincerely,
Andrew Maniotis, Ph.D.

The U.S. medical establishment and public health agencies are currently pressing for legislation requiring mandatory HIV testing for Americans between the ages of 3 and 80. This is the biggest mistake that the U.S. could make the most costly mistake and the most damaging mistake for the largest amount of people possible because when you test populations of people that are considered what the promoters of AIDS say are “low risk,” you are going to get a huge number of false positive test results, which is essentially going to ruin the lives of tens of thousands or perhaps as many as hundreds of thousands of people. All who test “HIV-positive” in a “low risk” population are false positives, by definition. It is my contention that all who test “HIV-positive,” or whose T-cells are deemed “too low” are selectively biased by these tests, by definition.
Why? You are going to get a number of people who really are not sick in any way, shape or form, to test positive. And they won't be able to get health insurance. They may be fired from their jobs. The stigma of having AIDS causes suicide, as it did with David Acer, the dentist whom the CDC later exonerated (after his suicide), because the CDC could find no evidence after he committed suicide that the dentist's 5 “HIV-positive” patients contracted their “HIV” signatures from him. There is evidence, however, that countless others who have been given the diagnosis of an “HIV infection,” in addition to Dr. Acer, have chosen to end their lives upon getting an “HIV-positive” test result. “HIV” terrorizes both parents and children that are split apart by The State when children are placed into foster care, and people are forcibly drugged. I am not understating these facts and egregious violations of human rights.
On February 10th, 2005, three articles appeared in the New England Journal of
Medicine advocating that it would be timely and cost effective to test every man, woman, and child for "HIV" at least once in their lifetime.
"In all but the lowest-risk populations, routine, voluntary screening for HIV once every three to five years is justified on both clinical and cost-effectiveness grounds. One-time screening in the general population may also be cost-effective" [1-3].
The authors of these articles do not define with precision who should be selectively targeted “in all but the lowest risk populations,” but they now recommend testing for children, and monogamous adults, in addition to “high risk” people who are African Americans, Hispanics, alcoholics and drug addicts, pregnant women, and men who have sex with men. Some have suggested, in addition, routinely testing persons during every emergency room visit.
Other “HIV” "experts" more recently have claimed screening for AIDS would be cost-effective based on parallels with results obtained through screening for cancer (emboldened words or underlined words are my emphasis and are highlighted to point out baseless or non-scientifically validated assumptions):
“In the United States, approximately 1 million persons are living with HIV infection or AIDS, and 164,000 to 312,000 of them remain unaware of their infection. Experts hypothesize that most of the 40,000 new infections that occur annually in this country arise from contact with these undiagnosed persons. Given this likelihood, investigators have examined the potential benefit of routine screening, rather than testing of only those perceived to be at increased risk. This strategy appears to be as cost-effective as screening for colon, breast, or prostate cancer, and the availability of a rapid oral test has simplified broad scale testing” [4].
One problem with these proposals is that “HIV” has no unique and isolatable identity or proven molecular signature as an exogenous retrovirus (a virus that comes from outside of a cell or organism) that is the cause of AIDS. “HIV” gene sequences can be detected in non-infected humans, chimps, and monkeys:
“HIV-like sequences exist in normal human, chimpanzee, and rhesus monkey DNAs…Herein we describe the first report of the presence of nucleotide sequences related to HIV-1 in human, chimpanzee, and rhesus monkey DNAs from normal uninfected individuals." [5].
Because the primate test subjects in this study were normal and healthy (no low lymphocyte counts or detectable illness), yet “HIV” sequences were detected, the molecular signature attributed to an assumed exogenous retrovirus, “HIV,” may represent an inducible HERV (Human Endogenous Retroviral Sequence) molecular sequence or inducible polymorphism, which has not in itself been adequately demonstrated to be causal of immune suppression, or illness, but has been merely associated with less than 1/3 of human subjects who may be immune suppressed, according to the original studies of Robert Gallo's group that claimed a causal connection between "HIV's" molecular signature, and AIDS.
The unproven exogenous retroviral identity of so-called specific "HIV" derived proteins also can be appreciated, for instance, by considering what Nobelists Howard Temin and David Baltimore once proposed, who discovered reverse transcriptase (RT), and what Nobelist and former NIH head Harold Varmus wrote regarding reverse transcriptase, an enzyme once thought to be solely specific to retroviruses:
"[Reverse transcriptase] is a normal protein found in the uninfected cells of yeasts, insects, and mammals" [6].
More recently, other investigators have claimed RT is an endogenous cellular enzyme that can assume various forms and it is important for telomere replication at the tips of normal chromosomes [7], and may have nothing to do with exogenous retroviruses. Once claimed by AIDS scientists to be a specific molecular component required for "HIV" replication, RT is now seen in market magazines concerning biotechnology stocks [8, 9], in the context of normal, non-pathological situations, despite what AIDS proponents continue to claim about the specificity of RT to exogenous retroviruses.
p24, another protein once thought to be unique to “HIV” is known to be expressed in the thymus glands of "HIV-negative children [10].” Other studies show that goat and cow milk that is unpasteurized induce positive “HIV” tests for proteins once thought to be derived from exogenous “retroviral HIV.” Fifty percent of dogs in one study also exhibited “HIV” structural proteins but did not develop "AIDS" either [12]. Experiments testing the hypothesized ability of “HIV” integrase to interact with normal chromosomes revealed that the enzyme has no activity when compared side by side with histone H1 or polyamines, or the topoisomerases, and thus constituted a negative control for the minor groove-binding of the topoisomerases [13].
Although the template for the molecular signatures of “HIV” may derive from common endogenous DNA sequences whose proteins are expressed by normal uninfected yeast, insects, dogs, rhesus monkeys, chimps, humans, and even in allo-immunized mice (non-"HIV-infected" mice given sera from other "non-infected" mice), as has been known by scientists since this experiment was published in 1991, neither "HIV's proposed 9,150 base pair molecular sequence, or its proteins have been isolated or identified without contaminating cellular components. For instance, it has been repeatedly shown more than 60 times in “HIV” vaccine trials that antibodies against "HIV" proteins aren't evoked even when the so-called unique and diagnostic "HIV'" antigens are injected directly into the bloodstream of healthy humans. According to “experts,” no molecular entity associated with "HIV" sequences, proteins, or glycoproteins such as GP120, has been shown to be immunogenic in humans, perhaps because it is a case of self being challenged by molecules derived from self? The Merck "HIV" vaccine was just announced in September of 2007 as a complete and disappointing failure, not only in preventing acquisition of "HIV," but in the failure to evoke anti-"HIV" antibodies in the 741 volunteers:
"In a major setback, one of the leading experimental AIDS vaccines not only failed to prevent test subjects from becoming infected with HIV, but it didn't offer any indication it might delay the onset of full-blown AIDS, which had been a key hope."
"24 of 741 volunteers who got the vaccine in one segment of the experiment later became infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In a comparison group of volunteers who got dummy shots, 21 of 762 participants also became infected."
"The ultimate fear among researchers is that the whole theory underlying the Merck vaccine might be flawed, which, if true, could doom an entire class of experimental vaccines."
As mentioned before, it may be more appropriate to say that the whole theory of "HIV=AIDS" is flawed, because there is no evidence that an exogenous "AIDS virus" has been isolated, and shown to evoke an antibody response in vaccine recipients or cause disease in either an animal model or a human being. Unless one would like to make unfounded assumptions that the 24 of the 741 volunteers that "became infected" in this last of more than 60 failed "HIV" trials actually represents an extremely low rate of seroconversion due to exposure of isolated "HIV" components to the human immune system (24/741), and that these 24 individuals are now immunized against "HIV" instead of having acquired an "HIV" infection, the similar rate of seroconversion in the control group (21/762) suggests that this cannot be the case, and it is more likely, that seroconversion in both groups represents mere testing artifacts.
In support of this seemingly radical idea, "AIDS experts" themselves like Anthony Fauci have just cancelled the new PAVE vaccine trial, and Robert Gallo wrote in the pages of Science several years ago that:
"A sound rationale (is) needed for Phase III HIV vaccine trials" [14].
In 2006, Barre-Sinoussi (of the Luc Montagnier team) has “come out of the closet,” so to speak on this issue at the Toronto International AIDS conference, where she said:
“It is not clear if therapeutic vaccines might be useful, since 15 trials to date have not demonstrated definitive evidence of improved outcomes.”
Perhaps more importantly, even after the 120 million dollar failure called AIDSVAX was announced in 2004 that prompted Dr. Gallo to state: "a sound rationale is needed for Phase III HIV vaccine trials," no re-evaluation of the basic premises of AIDS science has taken place. Instead, following that failure, Donald Francis's 120 million dollar AIDSVAX program and his company VaxGen has now been rescued with our tax dollars by the military to produce a new anthrax vaccine that also failed-but that is a different $857 million dollar story.
Other “HIV” vaccine enthusiasts claim that although "HIV" vaccines don't work because they aren't immunogenic, it is asserted tacitly that certain vaccine adjuvants will do the job (because the so-called proteins of "HIV" repeatedly fail to evoke humoral immunity, mucosal immunity, cellular immunity, or even T-cell activation). Vaccine adjuvants like squalene (MF-59), however, when they have been added to certain lots of anthrax (and "HIV") vaccines given to soldiers and other "volunteers" on threat of court martial if they don't roll up their shirt on command (in contrast to Walter Reed's voluntary experiment with yellow fever). It is now established that some of these vaccine adjuvants have been responsible for autoimmune syndromes in most of the sick Gulf-War I veterans tested, as evidenced by the fact that sick veterans invariably generate antibodies to vaccine adjuvant, squalene, in their blood [15, 16]. This type of "promising vaccine experimentation" on our young soldiers is particularly disturbing in light of the fact that squalene and other similar vaccine adjuvants have been traditionally used by scientists who study rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or demyelinating syndromes, because experimental rodents will reliably develop experimental arthritis, macrophagic myofasciitis, mutliple-sclerosis (demyelinating syndromes), and lupus-like syndromes upon intravenous exposure to squalene [17, 18, 19].
The proposal for universal “HIV” testing raises other issues about “HIV-testing” itself. In 1985, at the beginning of HIV testing among sperm donors, it was known that “68% to 89% of all repeatedly reactive ELISA (HIV antibody) tests [were] likely to represent false positive results” [20]. This and many other similar false-testing trials all support the hypothesis was suggested above regarding testing artifact to explain the 24/741 and 21/762 numbers obtained in the context of the failed Merck STEP vaccine trial mentioned above.
The modern “HIV” screening tests, especially the rapid ones, are contradictory from test result to test result, they are inconsistent across national boundaries, and no consensus about their validity exists. An "HIV" positive test result obtained with an ELISA, Western Blot, or PCR, may not even mean that a person who tests positive is infected with a virus, or is expressing evoked “HIV-endogenous sequences or molecular markers [5]. Cross reactivity has also again and again been shown to exist regarding “HIV” sequences and proteins, and normal endogenous cellular components are expressed or shed under certain conditions of immunological or other types of physiological stress [10]. In this regard, a principal issue to reconcile before universal testing is implemented is that the makers of the test kits used to measure “HIV” or progression to “AIDS” are themselves aware of these issues, because they all claim their ELISA, Western Blot, and PCR-based kits can't really detect “HIV” virus in their package inserts:
"ELISA testing alone cannot be used to diagnose AIDS" [21].
"Do not use this kit as the sole basis for HIV infection," [22].
"The Amplicor HIV-1 monitor test is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV, nor as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV infection" [23].
"The NucliSens(R) HIV-1 QT assay is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV-1 nor is it to be used as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 infection" [24].
COBAS AmpliScreen HIV-1 Test is not intended for use as an aid in diagnosis" [25].
The Cambridge Biotech HIV-1 Western Blot Kit insert: "The clinical implications of antibodies to HIV-1 in an asymptomatic person are not known" [26].
"The OraSure HIV-l Western Blot Kit is not intended for use with blood, serum/plasma or urine specimens, or for screening or reinstating potential blood donors" [27].
The Red Cross recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that even after repeated testing using different test kits, low-risk populations, such as blood donors (or military recruits) will typically yield 12 (PCR-positive) or 2 (ELISA positive) out of 37,000,000 samples, leaving potentially 10 out of 12 false positives, depending on which test kit you believe accurately detects "HIV's" molecular signatures [28]. While it has been pointed out that of the 2 of the 12 who initially tested positive on ELISA seroconverted in subsequent months to the molecular signature of "HIV" detected on PCR, and thus may warrant an investigation as to what the meaning of these molecular markers represent among persons who exhibit clinical symptoms. In this regard, it could be argued that 2 or 8 out of 37,000,000 does not constitute a national health crisis, or communicable illness of the proportions of other STD's, and certainly doesn't warrant research budgets in the billions of trillions, or universal testing of "low risk" individuals, or anybody else.
The value of the rapid “HIV” test kits is even more problematic, and some of them have been banned from the US:
"A District Court in Seattle has granted a request from the Federal Trade Commission and issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the sale and distribution of "defective" home HIV test kits. According to FTC, the kits' maker, Seville Marketing of British Columbia, Canada, on two Web sites had advertised the "Discreet" home HIV test kits as producing 99.4% accurate results based on three independent studies. However, CDC studied the test kits and found they were not as accurate as the company claimed on its Web site."
"FTC will seek a permanent ban on sales and advertising of the kits in the United States and a permanent order to seize any kits that are imported. Consumers who have used the kits are advised to see a health professional for another test to determine their HIV status, according to the release"[29].
None of these tests have been validated against the isolation of pure "HIV" itself. They have been validated instead against other test kits that were assumed to detect "HIV."
Moreover, it has been recently proposed that viral load does not correlate with T-cell numbers, and the rate of progression (when an individual will exhibit symptoms of AIDS) can only be predicted in 4%-6% of HIV-positives studied (out of 2,800):
"A nationwide team of orthodox AIDS researchers led by doctors Benigno Rodriguez and Michael Lederman of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland are disputing the value of viral load tests-a standard used since 1996 to assess health, predict progression to disease, and grant approval to new AIDS drugs after their study of 2,800 HIV positives concluded viral load measures failed in more than 90% of cases to predict or explain immune status…”“Viral load is only able to predict progression to disease in 4% to 6% of HIV-positives studied, challenging much of the basis for current AIDS science and treatment policy” [30, 31].
In 1992, the Lancet reported that for 66 true positives, there were 30,000 false positives. And in pregnant women,
“there were 8,000 false positives for 6 confirmations.” [32].
In 1995, the CDC recommended offering HIV testing to all pregnant women, but according to official AIDS websites like the CDC’s and on package inserts of "HIV" test kits, false positives due to pregnancy occur frequently [33]. There are some 70 factors or conditions that are known to generate false positive test results including flu vaccination [34] and hepatitis B vaccination [35], although it still isn't clear that these conclusions weren't due to vaccination cross-reactivity, or attributable to problems with the "HIV" test kits themselves. Different testing standards in different countries makes it possible that if you test "HIV" positive in the US in the morning, one can fly the same day to Canada, the UK, or Australia, where different standards are considered diagnostic, and you will be considered negative the same day and thereby retain your insurance, job, relationships, pregnancy, or life. Many countries such as England do not use a confirmatory WESTERN BLOT.
By 18 months after birth, in 1993, Parekh et al. reported:
"a 60% rate of seroreversion in infants born of "HIV-positive" mothers [36, 37].
Seroreversion means, that the infants may test positive at birth, but that 60% of them will generate a negative test if tested at 12 or 18 months. Thus, under the new mandate to universally test infants, 60% of infants who initially test positive will serorevert by 18 months post-partum, and if 60% of infants who initially test positive serorevert (change from a positive to a negative "HIV" test result) are forced to imbibe “anti-retrovirals,” then 60% of infants will be needlessly exposed to toxic chemo (either in utero, post-partum, or through surgically inserted gastric feeding tubes placed there by doctors to force compliance of these deadly medications).
PCR results in infant testing are not diagnostic in infants either, because the inventor of PCR, the Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis, has repeatedly claimed that viral load cannot be detected using PCR, because PCR can only be used to amplify the assumed nucleic acid signature of "HIV," which again, has not been validated against the isolation of "HIV" itself (Kary Mullis in numerous writings and statements that are typically ignored, is belittled, and derided by "AIDS experts" and the promoters of AIDS).
If “HIV/AIDS” is chemotherapeutically hit hard and early as a consequence of an impassioned crusade to provide what amounts to toxic chemotherapy (see any AntiRetroviral-ARV- package insert) to millions of those who test positive (even those who live in Kenya who only have a cup of diluted gruel paste/day as food-liquid to wash down their medications-see Christine Amanpour's July 19, 2006 documentary on CNN-www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/africa/07/17/amanpour.africa.btsc/index.html), universal testing for "HIV" "infection" would increase morbidity and death amongst those designated as “HIV/AIDS” patients, rather than decrease morbidity and death.
For example, de Martino et al. concluded that children born to ZDV-treated mothers (ZVD is AZT, or the AIDS drug, Azidothymidine):
"are more likely to have a rapid course of HIV-1 infection compared with children born to untreated mothers, as disease progression and immunological deterioration are significantly more rapid and the risk of death is actually increased during the first 3 years of life” [38].
In the journal Pediatrics, Antoni Noguera et al reported that:
“Almost half of the children (63 of 127) who were exposed to nucleoside analogues developed benign and self-limited hyperlactatemia when symptomatic, nucleoside analogue–induced toxicity affected neurologic development ” [39].
In 1992, The Veterans Affairs Co-operative Study Group reported that AZT disproportionately harmed Blacks and Hispanics, and provided no benefit to the quelling of advancing immune suppression in Caucasians, and harmed healthier subjects (early treated) more than persons considered to exhibit clinical symptoms of AIDS [40].
The Concorde trial, which was published without endorsement by Burroughs Wellcome’s Coordinating Committee who declined to endorse the final report, and which was the largest, longest, and best controlled adult AZT trial concluded:
“The results of Concorde do not encourage the early use of zidovudine in symptom-free HIV-infected adults. They also call into question the uncritical use of CD4 cell counts as a surrogate endpoint for assessment of benefit from long-term antiretroviral therapy” [41].
When considering "HIV" testing all infants and all subjects who visit their doctor or emergency rooms, faith-based science and medicine currently dominate ideas and therapies that address the imagined “mutability” of the “HIV” virus, and the failure of ARV-therapy is always based on mutation, rather than toxicity caused by the drugs. Individuals who fail ARV therapy are told their virus has mutated and is no longer sensitive to the drugs. The impact of this hypothesis on persons living with "HIV" or "AIDS" is unfair, uninformed, and cruel. For example, Mark Harrington, a member of The Treatment Action Group (TAG) summoned "the power of prayer" over "HIV" mutability, and discussed "The Chinese Menu Approach" in a description of a meeting he attended on developments regarding anti-retrovirals that included AIDS leaders such as Marc Wainberg, Director, McGill AIDS Centre, and the 2006 Chair of The Toronto International AIDS Conference-who possesses several "HIV" drug patents such as lamivudine (3TC), and grants from GlaxoSmithKlein, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Boehringer-Ingelheim. Also present at the meeting was Emilio Emini, Tufts University's John Coffin, Roche's Noel Roberts, the CDC's Harold Jaffe, Chiron's David Chernoff, the ACTG's Robert ("Chip") Schooley and John Mellors (developer and champion of the viral load tests now known to be invalid [30]), as well as treatment activist Dawn Averitt-Doherty of Atlanta-based Woman's Information Service and Exchange (WISE):
"During the coffee break, I (Harrington) joined three activists outside to share nicotine and despair. What was the point of quitting smoking if we were still all passengers on the speeding train heading for the cliff? The Birmingham resistance data were wrenching. Our fears of multiple cross-resistance, from November 1995's 3TC and saquinavir FDA approval hearings, reared their ugly heads. Several months of post-Vancouver euphoria crumbled in a moment as it became clear that many of those who developed resistance to ritonavir and indirovine-as thousands clearly would-might have no protease inhibiting options ahead of them. Today's resistance news made for a toxic cocktail. As I left the auditorium I bumped into Emilio Emini."
"Harrington: So what do you do if you fail Crixivan?"
"Emini: [sighs] We don't know what to do."
"Harrington: Take two new nucleosides and nevirapine?"
"Emini: Yeah. And pray."
"No one had yet assessed the healing effects of prayer on viral load. This was what we'd come to. I rushed into the lobby of the Interior Department and ran into a colleague, who was wild with fear and disappointment."
"Sometimes the gap between how the researchers felt and how we felt became an abyss. They were excited about the endless possibilities opened up by the research advances of 1996; we were terrified about the limited treatment options facing people who had exhausted most of the current arsenal of antiretroviral therapy. What to do with those whose viral load refused to go undetectable? What to do with those who added a protease inhibitor to a failing two-drug regimen and appeared doomed to develop resistance, most of it-especially with ritonavir and indinovir-cross-resistant to all other protease inhibitors? What to do with those who jumped aboard last year's bandwagon, AZT+3TC, and now appeared likely to have developed 3TC resistance and, with it, cross-resistance to ddI, ddC and possibly 1592? The Chinese menu approach to antiretroviral treatment suddenly looked much less appetizing, and much less nourishing"[42].
These same results also have been advanced in frequent warnings on MedWatch:
"Early virologic nonresponse (91%) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) resistance (50-95%) has been observed at a high rate in a Gilead Sciences-sponsored clinical study. Participants in the study were treatment-naive (i.e, no previous treatment for HIV) took a once-daily, 3-drug NRTI regimen. The NRTI regimen contained didanosine enteric coated beadlets (Videx EC), lamivudine (Epivir), and tenofovir (Viread)" [43].
"The new information is consistent with several recent clinical studies evaluating the use of 3 NRTIs simultaneously. Suboptimal virology response has also been reported with abacavir, didanosine, and stavudine, as well as another regimen containing abacavir, didanosine, and zidovudine. Similarly, early virologic failure and high resistance rates have been reported with abacavir, lamivudine, and tenofovir (see eMedicine Recalls and Alerts 8/1/03, Nonresponse Reported in HIV Infection Treated with 3-Drug Regimen Including Lamivudine, Abacavir, and Tenofovir"[43].
Other warnings on FDAMedWatch support Mr. Harrington's sentiments regarding liver toxicity, and also warn about neural tube defects in fetuses from woman who test positive and who are treated with “the life saving” AIDS medicines:
"Increased Liver Toxicity with Nevirapine (Viramune) and Higher CD4 Counts…Revised prescribing information for nevirapine (Viramune) includes a new recommendation against starting nevirapine treatment in women with CD4 cell counts above 250 cells/mL and males with CD4 counts above 400 cells/mL unless benefits clearly outweigh risks. The new recommendation is based on an increased risk of serious liver toxicity with higher CD4 cell counts prior to starting therapy with nevirapine"[44].
"Females and patients with higher CD4 cell counts are at increased risk of liver toxicity. Females have a three-fold higher risk of symptomatic nevirapine liver toxicity than males, and females with CD4 cell counts above 250 cells/mL have a 12-fold higher risk of symptomatic liver toxicity than females with CD4 cell counts below 250 (11% vs. 0.9%). Males with CD4 cell counts above 400 cells/mL have a five-fold higher risk of symptomatic liver toxicity than males with CD4 cell counts below 400 (6.3% vs. 1.2%)"[44].
"New Drug Interaction Warning with Rifampin and Combination of Ritonavir and Saquinavir. 'Drug-induced liver toxicity with highly elevated liver enzymes (greater than 20 times the upper limit of normal) has been observed in 39% of healthy volunteers receiving rifampin 600 mg once daily in combination with ritonavir 100 mg/saquinavir 1000 mg twice daily (ritonavir boosted saquinavir) [45].
Neural Tube Defects with First Trimester Efavirenz (Sustiva) Use. "The prescribing information for efavirenz (Sustiva) has been changed to include new information. The revision result of four reports linking neural tube defects in infants born to women with first trimester exposure to efavirenz. The four cases of neural tube defects include three cases of meningomyelocele and one Dandy Walker Syndrome. Pregnancy should be avoided in women receiving efavirenz…Efavirenz is an antiretroviral drug indicated for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS, HIV-1 infection). A registry has been established to monitor fetal outcomes born to women exposed to efavirenz.." [45].
Perhaps from the standpoint of imagining genetic mutation abilities or inventing viral characteristics that defy all evidence and all common sense, there is no bigger tragedy than what was reported this year with nevirapine. Virological failure or drug resistance are technical terms among “HIV-AIDS” proponents that have come to mean that an anti-retroviral drug doesn't work (fails to suppress virus), or that disease progression is more rapid in those that take a particular drug. In the New England Journal of Medicine, it was reported (and despite its known toxicity and withdrawal from the U.S. several years ago):
“Well over 875,000 women and infants have received a single dose of nevirapine. A single dose of nevirapine is the cornerstone of the regimen recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to prevent mother-to-child transmission among women without access to antiretroviral treatment and among those not meeting treatment criteria. However, nevirapine resistance is detected (with the use of standard genotyping techniques) in 20 to 69% of women and 33 to 87% of infants after exposure to a single, peripartum dose of nevirapine. Among 60 women starting antiretroviral treatment within 6 months after receiving placebo or a single dose of nevirapine, no women in the placebo group and 41.7% in the nevirapine group had virologic failure (P<0.001). Women who had received a single dose of nevirapine had significantly higher rates of virologic failure on subsequent nevirapine-based antiretroviral treatment than did women who had received placebo. This apparently deleterious effect of a single dose of nevirapine was concentrated in women who initiated antiretroviral treatment within 6 months after receiving a single dose of nevirapine. We did not find that a previous single dose of nevirapine compromised the efficacy of subsequent nevirapine-based antiretroviral treatment in women who started antiretroviral treatment 6 months or more after delivery. Among the 30 HIV-infected infants, a single dose of nevirapine (one each to mother and infant) as compared with placebo was associated with significantly higher rates of virologic failure and smaller CD4+percentage increases in response to subsequent nevirapine-based antiretroviral treatment”[46].
Universal “HIV” screening of certain groups is nothing new, and it hasn’t improved the health or reduced "infection rates" of those populations for which routine screening is already in place: military recruits [47, 48], medical students, "disease ridden foreigners" (immigrants who apply for permanent residence, and any participant in the Gay Games in Chicago, despite "some conservative groups who oppose(d) the federal government's decision to waive the ban on HIV-positive travelers to the U.S. [49], saying it threatens public health)”, and, universal screening of pregnant women. The reason why none of these groups have benefited by universal testing is because of the false positive rate of the test results, especially among those “low risk” groups that will now be tested routinely at their doctor’s office, or perhaps in emergency room visits.
If you test positive because you recently had a flu vaccine or are pregnant, grave psychological consequences can result. For instance, has universal “HIV” screening within mandatory medical resident training programs ever prompted a letter of apology to the family of Dr. David Acer, for his committing suicide on the basis of mistaken charges that he spread “HIV” to his patients [50], which the CDC later exonerated him of doing (after his suicide), because the CDC could "find no evidence the dentist's HIV-positive patients contracted their infections from him because their virus' DNA did not match his, and also concluded the dentist's patients did not contract the virus from one another -- in effect, that unclean dental implements did not act as conduits." Other studies that have followed exposure of health care workers have also found no transmission of AIDS [51].
Not only does transmission of AIDS not occur between 60% of positive mother-infant pairs because infants serorevert, it hasn’t occurred in health care settings such as dentist’s offices, hospitals, or sperm banks, or between serodiscordant couples, such as hemophiliacs. It hasn’t even been scientifically shown to be transmitted between persons who have frequent unprotected sex. From the study called “Heterosexual Transmission of HIV in Northern California: Results from a Ten-Year Study:”
“We followed up 175 HIV-discordant couples [one partner tests positive, one negative] over time, for a total of approximately 282 couple-years of follow up… No transmission [of HIV] occurred among the 25% of couples who did not use their condoms consistently, nor among the 47 couples who intermittently practiced unsafe sex during the entire duration of follow-up…” “We observed no seroconversions after entry into the study [nobody became HIV positive]…This evidence argues for low infectivity in the absence of either needle sharing and/or other cofactors [52].”
No scientific evidence has shown that the “HIV” “retrovirus” causes the immunodeficiency illness symptoms called AIDS. We have requested the scientific paper(s) that prove that “HIV” is the causative agent. “HIV” sequences and proteins are found in a variety of non-disease-associated contexts, and “HIV” vaccines don’t evoke antibodies and are provided with dangerous adjuvants like squalene. The “HIV” screening tests are contradictory, inconsistent across national boundaries, and no consensus exists regarding their validity. ARVS induce immune suppression according to their manufacturer’s package inserts, and fears of HIV's mutability provide excuses for drug makers claims to conceal the fact that ARV's don't work. Seropositivity reverts to seronegativity in infants and in single patients and vice versa even when compared on the same test. Transmission studies show no transmission. Universal screening hasn't protected groups where universal testing is already in place, and the stigma associated with testing positive has caused many to commit suicide, prevented them from getting health insurance, caused abortions, and ruined countless lives.
Because of these considerations, the assumptions underlying universal testing are flawed. It is an idea predicated on faith rather than scientific evidence. Moreover, the numbers of "infected individuals" provided in references [1-4], by the CDC, by the WHO, or others, are fictitious.
"Estimates on HIV called too high. New data cut rates for many nations."
"Statisticians traditionally have had a difficult time estimating the size of the pandemic. In 1986, Jim Chin, then a state epidemiologist in California who later developed models for the World Health Organization to calculate HIV prevalence, and several other US officials met in a West Virginia hotel room to figure out how many Americans had HIV."
"Chin recollected that the group arrived at a range of 1 million to 1.5 million people; 18 years later, the number is at about 1 million Americans. "A lot of it was guesswork, based on limited studies," Chin said. "It was the best we could do" [53].
Regarding the imagined similarities between universal “HIV” testing and early detection of cancer with routine screening [4], unlike cancer, early screening doesn’t matter with profound immune suppressive states: the symptoms considered diagnostic for "AIDS" can’t simply be removed with a surgeon’s knife, with radiation, or with a "chemical knife" once it is detected, like a non-invasive melanoma. When considering assays in human patients which diagnose "AIDS" by quantifying the number of lymphocytes/ml, patients are not considered to have an AIDS-defining illness if thy have suffered from chronic starvation, as these individuals are known to possess a helper T-cell ratio in the AIDS-defining range or even lower (< 250 cells/ml), and can present with as much as a 90% reduction in their normal T-cell number which is reversible upon nutritional supplementation and a normal diet [54, 55]. In this regard, it has been several years since the announcement in the New England Journal of Medicine that vitamin supplements can ward off progression to AIDS in the absence of HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy) [56].
The recommendation handed down from CDC for universal “HIV” screening, universal screening of pregnant woman, universal screening in routine doctor office visits, and routine testing in emergency room visits are reminiscent of the hepatitis B vaccine era. Twenty years later, the evidence shows that the current hepatitis B mandate in place not only threatens our children's health [57], but also serves in the future to threaten our children's education and admission to all kinds of institutions (day care and school admission).
So don’t think about science at a time like this: either refuse or obtain a religious or philosophical exemption from undergoing an "HIV" test. Faith-based exemption means that God told you not to get tested, and who can argue with that?
