• Lancet Authors Indicate that Antiretroviral Therapy Kills Quickly
  This article is full of spin, but here is the core of truth, “Out of nearly 200,000 patients initiated on ART in Malawi by the end of 2008, 12 % were known to have died and a further 12% were 'lost to follow up' [which usually means they died]…nearly two-thirds of the deaths occurred within three months after starting ART”.
• "How Positive Are You" Interviews the Nagels
  "When a Minnesota couple decided to adopt a baby from the wreckage of Ceaucescu’s Romania it seemed like a beautiful thing. But then HIV turned their lives upside down…"
• Perth Group Challenge Montagnier
  The Perth Group challenge Luc Montagnier to align his comments about strong immune systems defeating HIV (transient infection) with the infectious model of HIV (in which HIV is irretrievably integrated into the human genome).
• Scientists Note that Many Serodiscordant Couples Stay that Way and Panic
  HIV continues to spread among couples in long-term relationships in sub-Saharan Africa…Those are among the conclusions reached by scientists presenting research at the 17th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, the annual mid-winter AIDS meeting in the United States. The failure to recognize how much HIV-transmission has occurred over decades in seemingly low-risk couples is “tragic,” said epidemiologist Rebecca Bunnell of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who worked in Uganda and Kenya for 14 years. “It undoubtedly has resulted in millions of deaths and has produced millions of orphans,” …Only as HIV testing has become more common in Africa in the past few years have health authorities come to appreciate the vast number of “discordant couples,” in which one partner is HIV-positive and the other isn’t. In 40 percent of those couples, both partners are infected. But in 60 percent – about 340,000 couples – only one partner is. [implying that, Good News!, HIV isn’t very easily sexually transmitted]…many HIVaffected couples remain discordant for years. [more good news?]…The problem is that most people do not know their HIV status…A 2007 study that tested the blood of a representative sample of 16,000 Kenyans between the ages of 15 and 64 found that only 15 percent of infected people knew they had the virus…In co-habiting couples, use of condoms, which could greatly lower the risk of transmitting the virus, is very low – about 5 percent. [ah, people need to understand that ‘knowing is beautiful’, that reductions in sexual satisfaction from condoms or latex allergies are a small price to pay and that, most importantly, the AIDS drugs will help even healthy people get side effects (one being that stockholders in the manufacturing companies get rich)]
• Obituary for Cass Mann: 1948-2009
  Cass Mann was a gay, HIV+ man who emphasized positive, healthy living and was extremely skeptical about the drugs being offered, including AZT. While still believing that HIV caused AIDS he also believed that lifestyle, such as drug abuse, played an important role in one's health.
• Test All, Treat All
  The British newspaper "The Independent" reports on a new recurrence of an old dream by AIDS researchers – test everyone in the world then treat them immediately, regardless of whether they are perfectly healthy or not.
• AIDS: The Greatest Deadly Lie in the History of Medicine
  An article in Russia's Pravda.
• Ozzy Osbourne: Another False Positive
  “The Black Sabbath frontman was tested for the deadly virus during his heady heyday, and was left in shock when a blood test came back as HIV positive…after undergoing another blood test, the star was relieved to hear he had been misdiagnosed because of the impact his hedonistic lifestyle had taken on his immune system. ‘It turned out that because I was drinking and using drugs so much, my immune system had dropped so that it was a borderline result. When I went back to be tested again it was negative.’”
• The Changing Face of AIDS
  Dr. John Hardie, one of the first dentists to investigate the purported risks of transmission of HIV in the 1980s, reports on new developments in the February 2010 issue of "Oral Health and Dental Practice".
• HIV Denialism, Mistrust & Stigma
  Yes, people like Seth Kalichman and Nicoli Nattrass really are paid to try to explain why people question whether HIV causes AIDS without being allowed to consider whether their questions have even the slightest validity (let alone total validity). From the black hole at the center of the AIDS universe – Harvard School of Public Health.

• AIDS Experts Deny HIV Test Validity…On Camera
  Raw footage from "House of Numbers" of Dr. Niel Constantine saying (after Brent Leung indicates that he tested HIV negative in Africa), "Now what if I tell you that the test you took was lousy and doesn't mean a thing, does that make any difference for everybody to hear?" and top UK HIV virologist Robin Weiss saying, "I don't think the Western Blot is a useful diagnostic test, I don't think it's worth doing…You don't need a western blot and it's become a dogma in HIV research that you need one ELISA followed by a Western [blot]. You don't!…Western Blots have been sort of promoted into some sort of holy grail."
  There have been some efforts by Constantine and Weiss to claim that their statements were taken out of context. Constantine has claimed that he was talking about HIV tests made in garages. It is true that he and Brent Leung discussed this but the discussion on camera is clearly related to Brent's HIV test which was a commercial test produced under circumstances that are normal in Africa. Weiss claimed that he was being pressed by Leung, but the video shows that he was very relaxed. He has also claimed that he was referring to the status of Western Blot testing in the 1980s but that is clearly not the context of the question and Weiss uses the present tense,

• AZT: Good for What Ails You
  AZT. We all know how much good that did for AIDS. Now it's considered malpractice to give AZT alone in large quantities for AIDS. But, according to this article, AZT is going to be great to kill XMRV, the virus that causes (?) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Anything that causes severe or fatal anemia just has to be good for chronic fatigue. Take AZT and you'll never be tired again!

• I really, really don't care what causes AIDS
  Carl Strygg, writing on Celia Farber's website, "The Truth Barrier"…"One thing is absolutely clear to me: I have never met even one HIV positive person who felt healthy whose quality of life was improved by HIV drugs. What benefit there may be is certainly limited to those very near death, in my experience…"
• Dr. Charles Geshekter reviews "House of Numbers"
  "With his first film, House of Numbers, Brent Leung has produced a profound documentary. It’s a case study about how scientific knowledge can be created, then harden into a rigid dogma, defended with religious zeal by its creators who stubbornly refuse to debate anyone who disputes their claims but who labor overtime to prevent critical opinions from being heard…"

• From the Archives: Andrew Herxheimer
  This pharmacologist, being interviewed by Joan Shenton, stated, "…Zidovudine [AZT] was a drug that was never really evaluated properly…It's efficacy has never been provedbut its toxicity certainly is important…it has killed a lot of people, especially at the higher doses [1500 mg/day in the late 1980s]. I personally think it is not worth using alone or in combination [it is still used in combinations such has Combivir, and when not used other drugs in nucleoside analog class almost always are]."
• Videos from John Lauritsen
  A new page on the "Pagan Press" website with archival video from the 1990s.
• AZT is a Carcinogen according to California
  It's about 30 years too late, but the state of California has recognized AZT as a carcinogen. Remember that AZT was approved as the first AIDS drug at massive doses of 1500 mg/day in 1987 (and, in Australia, apparently at 2400mg/day) and was the only drug available until 1991. Many people believe that it is no longer used, but there are actually combination pills (such as Combivir) that include AZT as one component. And even when AZT isn't being used one or two other nucleoside analogs are used instead. If the nucleoside analog AZT causes cancer it's quite likely that others do also (it is hard to say with certainty because AZT was the only AIDS drug used extensively by itself).
• The Fauna Foundation: Sanctuary for HIV Research Chimps
  Canada's "Fauna Foundation" is the only institution that cares for chimpanzees rescued from HIV research. Often these chimps, with near human intelligence, were kept in cement and steel cages and operated on frequently. This is a charity worth supporting.
• Elsevier Wants to Make "Medical Hypotheses" Peer Reviewed
  This journal is the only one that Elsevier publishes that is not peer-reviewed. Most people don't understand how corrupt and stultifying peer-review can be. There's no problem with some journals being peer-reviewed, it works well in non-controversial areas. But to do this to all journals would be to eliminate the creative and innovative edge of science.

• AZT Sucks
  A new website from the Nagels provides a two-part video. Part I includes shocking archival footage on AZT and Part 2 shows massive confusion over the connection between CD4 counts and starting AZT.
• The Future of Medical Hypotheses
  This Elsevier journal, which is proudly NOT peer-reviewed, was forced to withdraw two papers, one by lead auther Peter Duesberg and the other by lead author Marco Ruggiero, under pressure from "AIDS Truth" and allies. This article in the Times Higher Education Supplement gives a good summary but, more importantly, has allowed the most incredible debate, in which Seth Kalichman and John Moore are getting seriously beaten up, correctly accused of McCarthyism and other sins.

  The "Questioning AIDS" discussion forum is taking over from the old AIDS Myth Exposed. It is a place for open but respectful discussions of all aspects of the HIV=AIDS=Death dogma.
• Tainted Cocaine Produces Immune Suppression
  In Winnipeg cocaine mixed with a veterinary drug has produced neutropenia in two people, a deficiency of the neutrophil blood cells, often seen in people with AIDS. In fact, if these people were HIV-positive, they might have called it AIDS. Since illegal drugs are produced in secret, unmonitored factors, with no quality control, such problems with drug contamination are common. Even if cocaine and heroin were harmless, street versions might still be deadly.
• The Parenzee Case. Once more, from the top…
  Kyle Shields is the Australian who first introduced Andre Parenzee's lawyer Kevin Borick to questions about HIV and AIDS. His statement, following an introduction by Celia Farber, describes how David Crowe was involved in the case from the very beginning and never, in his opinion, interfered. He also describes how the Perth Group threatened to pull out of the case if any other expert witnesses were called, even scientists like Etienne de Harven who is fully in agreement with them on the non-existence of HIV.

• A Gut Instinct about AIDS
  Russel Schoch writes, "…Tony Lance’s world was turned upside down. “I thought: We’ve been wrong; we’ve been telling people something that simply isn’t true: that refusing recreational and medical drugs was the answer to AIDS.” Lance had lost not only a dear friend; his belief system had crumbled. “I sold my house, quit my job, and put everything I owned into storage because, honestly, I didn’t think I was going to live much longer. Once Tim died, I had two goals: to outlive my grandmother—I didn’t want her to see me die—and to live to see the year 2000.” He decided to take what he feared would be his final journey: he hiked the Appalachian Trail, a six-month trek from Georgia to Maine.
  During this time, Lance thought about taking antiretroviral drugs. “But I stayed on the fence and never started them, primarily because I was always feeling well and also because I still thought that not taking drugs was the lesser of two evils. I had read about the toxicity of protease inhibitors, how they also inhibited a particular enzyme, cathepsin D, which is critical to the integrity of the gut…"

• Perth Group Respond to Jeanne Bergman
  We agree with Bergman that scientific answers must be based on “evidence-based science”. In science there are no fake questions – only fake answers. Bergman’s “answers” to the questions raised in House of Numbers consist of proclamations without one iota of “evidence-based science” to back her up. Hence, by her own definition, her answers are fake…

For example…Nancy Padian…John P. Moore…Robert Gallo…Once they realized that they had no case, prosecutors reduced their initial offer of fifteen years in state prison to what amounted to five days of unsupervised probation. Although prepared for an acquittal, Ms. Torres agreed to pay a small fine and attended a short class that featured an hour of HIV propaganda…"

• Making Beer with ARVs
  We honestly don't make this stuff up. In South Africa there have been reports of people getting high by smoking ARVs but in Malawi they've discovered that they can improve the production of a local liquor known as 'kachasu' and as a supplement to make livestock grow faster. No word on whether the cattle are growing buffalo humps or whether drug-induced anemia is making beef the new "white meat". Our inquiries have not yet determined whether bonking while smashed on kachasu is 'safe sex'.

• "Mamma, Don't Take my Funding Away"
  Daniel Kuritzkes, one of the stars of "House of Numbers", argues that it is more important to give toxic poisons to children, and to stop their mothers breastfeeding them, than to stop childhood diarrhea and pneumonia. Ironically, one of the easiest ways to reduce both diseases would be to encourage all mothers, regardless of their HIV status, to breastfeed.

• Christine Maggiore died of Pharmaceutically Induced Kidney Failure
  Dr. Mohammed Al-Bayati has released his report on the death of Christine Maggiore. He states, "Christine suffered fatal renal failure caused by antibiotics, antiviral, and calcium received during the 9 days prior to her deathÉChristineÕs acute renal failure led to development of acute left ventricular heart failure, pulmonary congestion, and pulmonary edema". He goes on to say that Christine was "was treated with antibiotics (Gentamicin, Rocephin, Azithromycin), Acyclovir, Fluconazole and corticosteroids. She also received MeyerÕs cocktail, vitamin C, and calcium IV." One of the antibiotics was gentamicin. Her dose of 600 mg/day for 9 days, "is documented in the medical literature to cause tubular necrosis in individuals treated with similar doses"

  The autopsy was conducted by Dr. David Posey early in 2009. He received his medical degree in 1974 and, since then, has held a variety of posts in Pathology and Forensic Medicine, conducted over 3,000 autopsies, given expert testimony in 50 trials and over 70 depositions. He has several publications on sudden unexpected death and sickle cell anemia.

  This documentary follows the lives of three families living with HIV who rejected medical recommendations on testing, treatment and breastfeeding. Traveling from a quiet city in Oregon, to a trailer home in rural Maine, to the heart of an “AIDS dissident” movement in Los Angeles, the film raises questions about the rights of parents to make controversial medical decisions for themselves and for their children. As they face accusations of negligence and child endangerment, each family finds themselves straddling a line between their deep convictions and flagrant “denialism”. This Child of Mine offers an intimate portrait of what it means to be a parent standing alone against global science, national media, and often, public outrage as they fight to keep their decisions their own.

• Board of Rethinking AIDS Issues Statement
  The Board of Rethinking AIDS, based on presentations at our RA 2009 conference, the years of experience some of our members have had caring for people suffering with illnesses labeled “AIDS” and through our extensive scientific research, call for true informed consent for every person before they are given an HIV test or prescribed AIDS drugs (Anti-retroviral therapy or ARV).
  Informed consent can come only after people are told that false positive HIV tests can occur and cannot be distinguished from true positives. They must be told that, if diagnosed positive, they may face many years in jail for having a consensual sexual relationship and, if they have children, may be forced to give them toxic drugs or lose custody.
  Although some clinicians have observed improvements during short-term therapy with AIDS drugs in some people seriously ill with fungal or bacterial infections, there is no clinical or scientific evidence that long-term treatment improves or extends the lives of HIV-positive people. Before prescribing AIDS drugs, these people must be informed of this and of the potential for debilitating and fatal side effects (that may be indistinguishable from AIDS-defining illnesses).
  On this basis, given the lack of evidence that HIV causes AIDS, and because informed consent requires patient choice, the Board of Rethinking AIDS opposes any program that makes HIV testing or AIDS drugs mandatory or coercive — such programs are a violation of human rights. Our opposition includes all groups believed to be at greater risk, including mothers, people in the military, health care workers and prisoners.
• AIDS: the pandemic is officially in decline
  WHO and UNAIDS have discovered that they cannot keep increasing numbers of "HIV" and "AIDS" "victims" forever or they will invite ridicule when their numbers are completely divorced from reality. Besides, they have to leave some deaths for Global Warming Crusaders. As long as none of them are ascribed to poverty, dirty water, malnutrition, war, corruption or any of the other old-fashioned maladies that people used to talk about.
• Dr. Henry Bauer on RA 2009
  RA2009, the conference held by Rethinking AIDS (RA) in Oakland, 6-8 November, was an extraordinary success in every possible way. It exceeded wildly any reasonable expectations…I’ve been to innumerable professional conferences on chemistry and history of science or science studies, where there has sometimes been excitement over specific items or topics, but nothing like the communal atmosphere and impact of RA2009.
• Perth Group Defends "House of Numbers" against "AIDSTruth"
  "…According to Bergman, House of Numbers “did not accurately represent [CD4 T Cell] research: notably, it failed to mention that the research was done with non-human primates”. If Bergman thinks findings in non-human primates cannot be extrapolated to humans then why have “HIV” experts spent decades doing such research and making their extrapolations?
• Who wants more Africans on AIDS drugs? WHO does.
  WHO says they want Africans to start AIDS drugs one year earlier. This is the first lie. What they are really saying is that they want Africans to start drugs at a CD4 count of 350 rather than 200. There is no evidence that it takes exactly, or even approximately, one year to descend from 350 CD4 cells to 200. But the important thing is that this will dramatically increase the market for AIDS medications.
  The WHO also is abandoning d4T (Stavudine) because of "long-term, irreversible side-effects". But the replacements are no better – AZT and Tenofovir, both nucleoside analogs, AZT being one of the world's most dangerous organic chemicals.
  WHO has also abandoned formula feeding, allowing breastfeeding for an entire year (instead of just six months), but at the price of insisting that HIV-positive mothers or their infants take anti-retroviral drugs. This will "improve the infant's chance of survival". Well, their last program, eliminating breastfeeding certainly did the opposite, and there's no evidence that feeding nucleoside analogs to mothers or babies will improve the health of either.
• John Lauritsen's AIDS page
  Lauritsen was one of the first gay activists to go against the mainstream virus-drug approach to AIDS and one of the first to blame poppers for the new diseases.

• London's "Independent" Attacks Rethinkers on World AIDS Day
  …[Seth Kalichman says] "Most people are not well-versed in science and medicine and can be easily confused by misinformation. And the denialist literature is much more user-friendly than true science. Scientists are notoriously bad at communicating with the public."…
  One responder to this article said, "i was on the Concorde trial [of AZT] at the Kobler centre, i saw people die of AZT and combo therapy and later get seriously ill on haart, even though they had no prior symptoms. The truth is that hiv does not cause aids. and when i ask questions all we get are insults. but no one can provide evidence that hiv is causing aids. there are many like me, just google lindsay nagel, john hankins, aids myth exposed."

• South African Professors Recommend Stopping Free Baby Formula
  South African HIV activists are outraged by a recommendation from world-renowned University of KwaZulu-Natal researchers, professors Hoosen Coovadia and Anna Coutsoudis, that the government should stop providing free formula milk to all HIV-infected mothers at state clinics. Of course, since Coovadia and Coutsoudis are leading experts on HIV and breastfeeding, maybe they happen to be right. Their evidence, well within the HIV=AIDS paradigm, is that exclusive breastfeeding results in no more higher level of HIV antibodies than formula feeding and dramatically better health outcomes than replacement feeding. Not good for the multinational formula producers though…

• Antibiotics and AIDS: Therapy or Cause?
  The “Study Group on AIDS Therapy” writes “Since 1982, studies were published on how common antibiotics (tetracycline, chloramphenicol, macrolides, etc.) affect the respiratory chain and thus ATP synthesis by inhibiting in the endothelial reticulum the formation of ribosomal proteins and enzymes for the production of peptides which are then absorbed into the mitochondrial membranes. Thereby protein synthesis and the quenching of toxic oxygen radicals in the mitochondria are impaired, and the formation of B cells in the bone marrow and the circulation of T4 helper cells become depleted, while at the same time resistance to antibiotics occurs. The spread of resistant bacterial strains in US clinics in the late 1970s lead to a crisis which was addressed by national conferences on collective guidelines for antibiotic prescribing. The simultaneous appearance of PCP and KS in promiscuous homosexual men in New York and San Francisco, whose continued intake of antibiotics (TMP+SMX) and nitrite stimulatory drugs (“poppers”) lead in 1982 to the definition of “acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)’’ that according to the postulation of HIV by Luc Montagnier (1983) and the development of HIV antibody tests (1985) was traced back to the human immunodeficiency retrovirus HIV. On the basis of nonspecific tests, of which one even has different definitions in America and Europe to those in Africa and Asia (Western Blot), the rapid proliferation and the severe course over 30 different infectious diseases (from tuberculosis, cryptococcosis, candidiasis, toxoplasmosis, mycobacterium avium, herpes simplex and salmonella sepsis) were traced back to this new ‘infectious retrovirus’, rather than to the rapidly growing problem of microbial resistance and mitochondrial damage caused by antibiotics.”

  Onnie Mary Moyo, from Botswana, reports on her experiences being diagnosed with HIV in 2001, taking medicines for years, and recently quitting. She says, “In November 2008, I spent the whole month [with] no ARV, when I saw I was getting better. I started switching the dosages to taking ARV only two weeks in a month, then three x a week, than night only then I stopped. The way ARV contributed to ill health I am still amazed they still asked me to go back on treatment. If it is suicide I am committing by not taking ARV’s it is a sweet suicide, it is peaceful. I will settle for that. I have claimed my life with thus suicide. It makes me not want to go back to the clinic because all they will do it instill fear in me, blame me and ensure that is see myself as dead.”
• House of Numbers film review by Matthew B. Zrebski
  “A few years ago, Leung came to learn there has always been a debate over the current HIV/AIDS scientific paradigm.

He had some questions, and he went around the world asking top HIV/AIDS scientists for the answers…”
• Missing the Forest for the Trees
  The LA Times reports that they have discovered certain antibodies in “more than 1,800 people in Thailand, Australia and Africa who had been infected with HIV for at least three years without the infection proceeding to severe disease”.

The wedding bands were HAART without a heart. This guy and his relatives (that is, the doctors and the pharmaceuticals) threatened me every day. At the altar they said if I do not become devoutly loyal to ARV, there is no chance of reconciliation. I will just end, without him, and end up dead.
  In the beginning, my loyalty was religious and I did not disappoint my aggressive husband ARV. I honored all the vows I took; unfortunately ARV did not honor any of his vows…”
• FAIR says HIV/AIDS Funding is Unfair
  The Fair Allocations in Research Foundation notes that research funding for HIV/AIDS in America is totally disproportionate.

Only West Nile Virus at over $1 million per death is more seriously over-funded.

• "House of Numbers" reviewed by Folio Weekly, Jacksonville
  Gwynedd Stuart writes, "…the film has already been criticized by some prominent researchers, who labeled it AIDS Denialism and fear it may encourage people at risk of infection to ignore prevention or treatment. But there’s no question that, despite nearly three decades of research, many fundamental questions about AIDS remain. If nothing else, House of Numbers may be the genesis of an interesting dialogue…"
• Vaccine Success Claimed
  Finally, by combining two failed vaccines together, a clinical trial claims that HIV "infection" can be prevented. But how is "HIV infection" defined? Is this proof of infection? And, if antibody tests are used to determine if someone is HIV-positive and also produced by the vaccine, exactly how are these differentiated?
  Is is perhaps all just a statistical artefact? In other words, if you do enough vaccine experiments through random chance one will produce statistically significant results even though the intervention doesn't really work.

But when the rash began dissolving layers of flesh, his father took the teenager for tests, which revealed he had HIV. Karen, too, tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, which she’d apparently acquired from a blood transfusion in June 1982 and to which she’d exposed Tyler during childbirth and breast-feeding. Yet as Tyler’s HIV slowly progressed to AIDS, Karen remained healthy.

Why was the Nobel Prize awarded to Luc Montaignier and Dr. Françoise Barré-Sinnousi, despite Montagnier admitting in an interview that they did not purify the virus and repeatedly stating over the years that HIV was not sufficient to cause AIDS by itself? Scientist and talk show host Dr. Jonas Moses joins the show to discuss the lack of real science in the HIV causation hypothesis of AIDS. There is still a lot lacking.

In 2006 she started the website www.hivwave.gr and married the Canadian "HIV negative" Gilles St Pierre. In 23 April 2007 she stopped taking the pills prescribed against AIDS, became strong again and regained the freedom we all lost in 1984. So, what had she suffered from, a deadly hoax? She began to research what had happened to her, met many who had questioned the HIV/AIDS dogma on her way, found the missing answers and now wants to shout out around the world: "The elaborate AIDS construction is built on a false foundation!"

  The Vera Institute has finally reported on the ICC scandal. You remember, the Incarnation Children's Hospital took orphans, or took custody of children, and then subjected them to massive dosages of AIDS drugs.

But, trust them, they really did want to get to the bottom of this, they just refused to touch a shovel.

Even today "McNack complains of fatigue, joint pain, hip pain, tremors, wrist pain, loss of balance, and numbness."
  A slam dunk worker's compensation case?
  No, Dr. Yasmine Wasfi, an expert in sarcoidosis stated that "there are reports linking HAART therapy to sarcoidosis in HIV positive patients. [However,] Wasfi…is unable to find any medical reports or studies linking HAART medications to non-HIV-positive patients…Wasfi opined it is biologically implausible for an HIV negative person to acquire sarcoid after taking HAART medications".
  McNack may be appealing.

  "I have written a good deal about Hiv testing and the people given the diagnosis. I have written from a critical perspective on the tests and drugs used, and have found some significant causes for concern in the field. I think what is most troubling to me is the absolutely final nature of the diagnosis itself. I find it to be terribly shocking, and I think, terribly unfair.
  What I would like is to hear your stories, if you’re willing to share them, as I try to better understand the phenomenon of testing positive, and how it affects the people who are given this diagnosis…"

• Robert Scott Bell: World AIDS Treatment Day (Hour 1)
  We interrupt the pharmaceutical-lovefest to bring you “World AIDS Treatment Day” in order that we may pre-empt the pharmaceutical money machine that funds World AIDS Day. It is long past time to get over the wrong-headed concept that AIDS can be countered by drugs too toxic for healthy people to use. Now that the world knows that Gallos 1984 “Popovic et al” paper does NOT prove that HIV causes AIDS, when will SCIENCE withdraw the original four papers on which this immune deficiency syndrome falsely rests? I have an all-star cast joining me in reversing the ignorance and arrogance of those who believe that HIV causes immune deficiency. Please welcome returning guests Professor Peter Duesberg, Celia Farber, David Rasnick, and first time guest David Crowe of Rethinking AIDS. We only have to overcome billions of dollars in pharmaceutical funding and a collective global consciousness marketed into believing that HIV is an immortal super villain. No problem.
• Interview with Roberto Giraldo

• Robert Scott Bell: Ending Cognitive Dissonance on AIDS with Nutritional Intelligence
  Ending Cognitive Dissonance on AIDS with Nutritional Intelligence – Are there people living long and healthy lives even after testing “positive” to non-specific (HIV) antibody tests? Yes, as long as they avoid “Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy” (HAART). The answer may shock you but it is a resounding “yes” in people who have rejected pharmaceutical toxins in favor of good nutrition. Despite the media claim that people are living longer on HAART, there is actually an “…increased incidence of cancer…only among those individuals who are receiving HAART.” It is time to let go of the cognitive dissonance and see the truth. Immune deficiency is real. “HIV causing it” is not. What does this mean? It means that the power to heal is yours, as it has always been. This week we include all the things that CDC, WHO and the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex do not want you to know about immune deficiency and what to do about it, with special guests David Crowe, Henry Bauer, PhD (author of The Origin, Persistence and Failings of HIV/AIDS Theory), Christine Maggiore (author of What If Everything You Thought You Knew about AIDS Was Wrong?), Clark Baker (Gallos Egg) and more. Recently, the media reported HIV will be eradicated in another ten years (and billions more dollars). We will have eradicated it in two hours with not one penny of Taxpayer funds – and thats not Gallos humor…

• Hank Wilson, Gay Activist and Poppers Opponent, Dies
  John Lauritsen writes: “Hank Wilson, a prominent gay activist in San Francisco, died on Sunday, November 9^th 2008. In 1981 Hank Wilson founded the Committee to Monitor Poppers, to warn gay men about the dangers of inhaling the volatile or alkyl nitrites (aka “poppers”). For the rest of his life this cause was dear to his heart. I met and began collaborating with him in 1983. Despite living 3000 miles apart – he in San Francisco and I in New York City – we were constantly in contact with each other through mail and the phone (no e-mail or Internet in those days). We published a series of pamphlets and wrote articles for those few gay papers that would publish anti-poppers articles. In 1986 we published a small book, Death Rush: Poppers & AIDS, which is now online: Hank and I took a lot of abuse for our stand, but didn't give in. Our criticisms of poppers have held up. The medical literature on poppers is still valid. The biochemical properties of poppers have not changed: they are still flammable, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. Poppers are still hazardous to the health. They still cause anemia and weaken the immune system. The use of poppers is currently the only tenable hypothesis for the occurrence of kaposi's sarcoma (KS) among gay men. Hank and I didn’t agree on the role (or non-role) of HIV in causing AIDS, but we were always friends. I’ll miss him.” John Lauritsen, Independent Scholar. Author: The Man Who Wrote Frankenstein (2007). The AIDS Cult (1997). The AIDS War (1993). Poison By Prescription: The AZT Story (1990).

  Jason Erb of Rethinking AIDS discusses some of the highlights of the monumental Sunday November 30 broadcast on the Robert Scott Bell show that preempted World AIDS Day with 7 prominent AIDS Rethinkers. He also discusses how he came to question HIV/AIDS Theory and later became an official member of RA, and exposes the intent and actions of some in the AIDS establishment to restrict debate outside of their tightly controlled paradigm, by providing information they are well aware of and desperately don’t want you to find out about.”
• Media Analysts Admit that the LA Coroner and "Law & Order" are Wrong
  A media website report for November 17th reinforces the knowledge that a recent Law & Order Special Victims Unit episode was based on a distortion of the death of Eliza Jane, Christine Maggiore's daughter – "The story centers on a character obviously based on Rethinking AIDS board member and Alive & Well founder Christine Maggiore". Although the Law & Order episode has the daughter dying of AIDS (PCP and meningitis) this media website states that "Maggiore’s young daughter died in May 2005 of an amoxicillin reaction wrongly declared to be 'AIDS'."

• Incongruous Age Distributions of HIV Infections and Deaths from HIV Disease: Where Is the Latent Period Between HIV Infection and AIDS?
  A new article by Dr. Henry Bauer in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. He states "neither the age distribution of first HIV-positive test nor that of death from AIDS changed between 1987 and 2004. Both distributions still peak between ages 35 and 44. These data are incompatible with the conventional view of HIV/AIDS. Black and Hispanic Americans have higher rates of HIV positivity and death from AIDS, yet their age of death is appreciably older than that of whites, Amerindians, or Asian Americans with HIV/AIDS. It seems incongruous that a race-associated factor should both predispose to disease, and also permit longer survival with the disease."

• Some people don't want health insurance
  Amidst all of the media clatter about mandatory universal health insurance, one point of view has been conspicuously absent. That is the opinion held by a lot of well-informed people who reject most of Western pharmaceutically-based medicine. These people have maintained their own health naturally for many decades, and don’t believe that the pharmaceutical approach is a healthy one. Indeed, studies have found that properly-used pharmaceutical medicines, unnecessary surgeries, and other medical procedures cause more than 700,000 deaths every year, in the United States alone. And that’s not even counting all of the “cancer deaths” that were really caused by chemotherapy and radiation, the “AIDS deaths” that were really caused by the extremely toxic AIDS drugs, and many more similar situations…

Relationships can be difficult anyway but being HIV positive blocks or destroys intimacy and dehumanises. If you’re able to think for yourself and realise that HIV theory does not fit the facts this realisation adds another dimension of dating difficulty.

• AIDS Can't be Found or Cured: David Crowe Turns Thousands of Hours of Research into a Simple Explanation
  A special interview for CKLN Radio with multi-faceted author, journalist and researcher David Crowe on how AIDS affects millions of people worldwide in completely different ways than the mass media portrays. The entire system is based on billions in immoral profiteering, stereotypes, fear, ignorance, fraud, brainwashing, negligence, censorship and more. Africa has been decimated by AIDS and the cures, North American governments are forcing parents to give their kids toxic and unproven drugs, and the legal and medical communities are trying to test everyone despite the fact they all test for different things. A must-listen for anyone who wants to survive our increasingly “Kafkaesque” (David Crowe) healthcare system and avoid catching AIDS from an AIDS test.
• THE INFECTIOUS MYTH – What Is Big Pharmacide Getting Wrong That We Need To Get Right?
  A special CKLN Radio interview with Mr. David Crowe from TheInfectiousMyth.com about what the medical-chemical industrial complex is getting wrong that we need to get right.
  We all want to trust the people in charge of our health, but we all have examples of their imperfection and irresponsibility which add up to a lot we know but don’t discuss much. It’s worth having faith in our ability to ask questions and get answers in using curiousity to beat ignorance, often the only thing that does. In societies full of experts who listen to other experts to become experts, we have to insist that anyone smart be smart enough to explain things or we won’t believe them.
  Sounds fair, we’ll see how it goes.
  In a clear, calm, dispassionate and articulate manner Mr. Crowe goes from the history of the polio vaccine to it’s use today, the history of viruses and vaccines in general and their impact on society, the role and attitude of the medical and pharmaceutical community, the latest virus scares that become less scary if we understood them and much more.
  If you care enough to pay for better health, you might want to listen to this interview for free and check out his work, it could save you a bundle…
• “Public Choice” Reviews Dr. Henry Bauer’s book “The Origin, Persistence and Failings of HIV/AIDS Theory”
  “This is an important book. In 250 fact-filled, closely reasoned pages of text, Henry Bauer, professor emeritus of chemistry and science studies, and dean emeritus of Arts and Sciences at Virginia Tech, systematically demolishes the theory—more correctly the hypothesis or conjecture—that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). According to conventional wisdom, that disease, which first presented in the early 1980s among the gay communities of San Francisco, New York and a few other large US cities, has, via bisexual switch-hitting, exchanges of dirty needles among intravenous drug users, and transfusions of HIV-polluted blood, become a full-blown epidemic endangering everyone, be they gay, straight, or somewhere in between. HIV/AIDS now is a global public-health crisis of alarming dimensions, ravaging Sub-Saharan Africa and threatening to decimate much of the developing world, or so the usual story goes…”

• Questioning HIV/AIDS: Morally Reprehensible or Scientifically Warranted?
  One expects scientific discourse to be focused dispassionately on substantive issues. Yet doctors, scientists, and others who question whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) have been called the moral equivalent of Holocaust deniers; their employers have been urged to dismiss them; laws under which they could be imprisoned have been envisioned; and media have been asked to purge their archives of anything potentially favorable to such doubting. Evidently those who make these attacks are absolutely convinced that HIV causes AIDS. That raises the question of how much certainty is ever attainable in science, especially over so complex an issue as AIDS. Furthermore, the attackers fail to make a necessary distinction between raising questions and urging action. They have presented a number of flawed arguments, including those about the credentials or experience needed to assess evidence. Objectively speaking, both official reports and the peer-reviewed literature afford substantive grounds for doubting that HIV is the necessary and sufficient cause of AIDS and that antiretroviral treatment is unambiguously beneficial.

• John Lauritsen
  In 1983 I began thinking critically about the newly named “Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome” or “AIDS”. The entire medical literature at this time amounted to a couple of dozen articles. In this year I joined forces with Hank Wilson in San Francisco to warn gay men that the premier gay drug — “poppers” or the nitrite inhalants — was harmful to the health and very likely a cause of “AIDS”. We prepared and distributed a pamphlet, “Poppers & AIDS”, and wrote letters to the gay press warning about poppers…

  November 3, 1987. That was a big day for me! That’s the day I walked into the counselor’s office of the Health Department of the County of San Diego, California. He invited me to take a seat, opened my folder, reached out for my hand, and with the saddest look on his face told me that I had tested positive on the HIV Antibody Test. I smiled back and said, well, then that means I don’t have to take the test over again. Quizzically he asked me what I meant by that. I told him that quite frankly with the lifestyle I had led all my life, had I tested negative I would have asked to be retested. Looking back, I think the shock on his face came from the fact that nobody had ever received the news that they had tested positive in such an accepting way…

Organizations

• Alive & Well, Los Angeles
  

  Christine Maggiore used to be a mainstream AIDS volunteer, convinced that one day she would get sick and die. She discovered Duesberg, and long was an inspiration to other HIV-positive people because she lived more than 16 years in great health and without AIDS drugs. Three years following the tragic death of her daughter from an allergic reaction to a drug (amoxicillin) Christine herself died suddenly. Her organization lives on.

• Dissident Dating Website
  If you test HIV positive then on some level of mind your expression of love is perversely seen as a vehicle of death and you even risk a prison sentence for doing something normal and natural. Relationships can be difficult anyway but being HIV positive blocks or destroys intimacy and dehumanises. If you’re able to think for yourself and realise that HIV theory does not fit the facts this realisation adds another dimension of dating difficulty. If you’ve tested positive and you’re looking for a like-minded partner, one who won’t destroy themselves with AIDS industry poisons, then this is the place to find them…

Special Actions

• Ask Bill de Blasio Why
  In the summer and fall of 2003, investigative reporter Liam Scheff working undercover at an orphanage in New York City found that the city was allowing foster children in its care to be used as “guinea pigs” for experimental trials of highly toxic and painful drugs. What he found at Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC) in Washington Heights ignited a city scandal in 2004 and into early 2005–a scandal mostly forgotten today but not yet resolved. The New York Press published his article in early 2004, and further articles followed in the London Observer/Guardian and the New York Post, among other media. The allegations were even the subject of a BBC documentary, "Guinea Pig Kids". One city councilman–District 39’s Bill de Blasio of Park Slope, Brooklyn–chairs the council’s General Welfare Committee and is responsible for the city’s Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), which referred children to ICC. And de Blasio is currently running for New York Public Advocate. We think this is a rare opportunity to watch a candidate for this important city post in action, “advocating”–or not–for the families of New York. Please join us on this website as we ask de Blasio a few questions…
