Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Will the Real Quack Please Stand Up? International Medical Veritas Association “H.I.V. causes AIDS. This is not a controversial claim but an established fact, based on more than 20 years of solid science. It is as certain as the descent of humans from apes and the falling of dropped objects to the ground,” wrote , professor of microbiology and immunology at Cornell University, in an editorial published in the N.Y. Times in early June 4, 2006. He ended his editorial saying, “It is sad when selling magazines and vitamin supplements is considered more important than promoting public health and scientific truth. The truth is that H.I.V. does exist; that it causes AIDS and that antiretroviral drugs can prevent H.I.V. transmission and death from AIDS. To deny these facts is not just wrong — it's deadly.” These are all strong words that not everyone in the medical world agrees with. The medications currently used to treat patients with AIDS, such as AZT, protease inhibitors, and glucocorticoids, are highly toxic. They can even cause AIDS in asymptomatic patients, and make the disease worse in patients with AIDS. These drugs do not have any therapeutic value. Dr. Mohammed Al-Bayati. "I have a large population of people who have chosen not to take any antiretrovirals," says Abrams, M.D., director of the AIDS program at San Francisco General Hospital. "They've watched all their friends go on the antiviral bandwagon and die." A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1995 showed that one of the things that long-term AIDS survivors had in common was that they didn't take antiretroviral drugs. Governments and the mass media are hot to sell and spend billions of dollars on their AIDS medications, which are really similar to the chemotherapy used in cancer patients in that both are poisonous and kill instead of heal. At the heart of pharmaceutical terrorism is this attack on the immune system in drug programs used in cancer treatment, AIDS, and in massive vaccination programs which are killing and maiming people at alarming rates, especially in populations with already weakened immune systems made weak by malnutrition and starvation. Extremely low T4 cell counts commonly thought to result from HIV infection are actually very common in people who are HIV-negative. Conditions that result in these changes include injections of foreign protein, malnutrition, psychological stress, chronic prescription and non-prescription drug use and social isolation. "AIDS" is not something new that appeared suddenly around 1980. It's a collection of old diseases that have been around for as long as medical history, that began showing up in clusters at greater than the average incidence,” wrote Professor Tracey PhD. who wrote about the early hysteria that is still perpetuated by the medical media. “It was caused by a new virus that was 100% lethal and about to explode out into the population at large. You could catch it from sex, toilet seats, your dentist, from breathing the air, and once you did there was no defense. ‘One in five heterosexuals could be dead from AIDS at the end of the next three years.’ Our species could be staring at extinction.” Thus the most aggressive medical strategies were called upon but nothing that was thought in the early days was real. The antiretroviral drugs that have been used during the past two decades are among the most dangerous drugs in use. Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, the health minister of South Africa has described antiretrovirals as poisons, and they are. Most allopathic medicines are poisons but the antiretrovirals are particularly toxic. There is nothing astonishing about his view since properly prescribed medicines kill over 100 thousand people a year in the United States alone. The reasons for hospital admission among HIV+ infected patients have changed over time. Classical opportunistic infections are now less frequent, while drug toxicity seems to be more relevant. "Mitochondrial toxicity is a serious side effect of antiretroviral drugs, especially nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI)," explained Foli and colleagues at the Research Institute for Genetic and Human Therapy, based in Pavia, Italy, and Washington DC, IRCSS Policlinico San Matteo in Pavia, and the University of Modena in Modena, Italy.[1] Metabolic complications, including diabetes mellitus, are more common among HIV-infected persons compared to those who are HIV negative. The use of antiretroviral agents increases the risk of this complication.[2] Two or three years ago there was a rash of positive HIV and hepatitis patients in Baltimore among people who would otherwise not be expected to have a positive test. When studied all of these people had received the influenza vaccine four to six weeks prior and this was rapidly covered up by the press. Dr. Eva Snead (Feb 2000) The complexity and wide variety of antiretroviral combination therapies often make causal relationships between a specific antiretoviral agent and a given toxicity difficult. Fat maldistribution, or lipodystrophy, has had a major adverse impact on the quality of life of many HIV-infected patients. While its etiology remains uncertain, it has been associated with both HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy. An advisory warning for lipodystrophy is now included in labeling for all antiretrovirals used to treat HIV infection.[3] Osteopenia or osteoporosis in women was associated with HIV infection and with specific antiretroviral agents.[4] s Hopkins University Division of Infectious Diseases and AIDS Initiating HIV treatment at a CD4 cell count above 350 cells/mm3 with newer anti-HIV drugs would reduce illness and death caused by HIV, limit treatment side-effects, be cost-effective, and reduce the onward transmission of HIV, according to four US HIV doctors writing in the December 2004 edition of Clinical Infectious Diseases. However, an alternative viewpoint written by two American HIV clinicians published in the same edition of the journal rebuts each of these arguments and concludes that there is little evidence that there is any benefit from starting HAART at a higher CD4 cell count, and that significant risks of toxicities and resistance remain even with newer antiretroviral drugs. Concerns about side-effects remain. Even though newer protease inhibitors do not appear to cause the lipid abnormalities of early drugs in this class, the authors note that the DAD study found an increased risk of cardiovascular events even after controlling for lipid profiles. The authors also note “reductions in bone density, increases in insulin resistance, and a small but still present risk of lipodystrophy” even with the newer less-toxic drugs and regimens.[5] President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa is reluctant to expand access to antiretroviral drugs. But aggressively insists that his view is the only view and that alternative perspectives on AIDS and H.I.V are a genuine menace to public health and he takes particular aim at government health officials in South Africa who do not bow down to the prevailing mainstream medical assumptions. He seems so very certain yet we find Dr. Abigail Zugar, also in the Times saying, “Not everyone who is infected gets sick. Not everyone who is treated gets well. Some people progress along the road from initial infection to progressive immune deficiency to life-threatening illness at the expected pace, then with treatment head right back again to health. Others stall along the way, sick or well, defying our dire predictions and happy reassurances alike.”[6] Thousands get potent antiretrovirals but die anyway. A survey of almost 3,000 people enrolled in five US antiretroviral trials between December 1996 and December 2001 plotted a dogged doubling of the death rate every 12 months, from 3.9 percent after one year of follow-up, to 7.9 percent after two, and to 13.1 percent after three.[7] A team of scientists headed by Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos in Perth, Western Australia, examined each of the proteins used to make the HIV tests and showed that there are potential non-HIV sources for all of them, including normal cell constituents released when immune cells become over stimulated and disordered. There is now strong evidence that the nonspecific nature of the HIV test is causing millions to test false positive. And the World Health Organization has allowed doctors to diagnose AIDS in Africa even without the use of the HIV test, simply on the basis of a combination of symptoms such as fever, persistent cough, diarrhea, or weight loss. The statistics for African AIDS are tenuous because the HIV antibody tests are rarely used there. They are simply too expensive to use on any kind of regular basis, so HIV prevalence rates are based on loose estimates, which are really just about anyone’s guess. “Why condemn a continent (Africa) to death because of HIV when you have other explanations for why people are falling sick?” said Papadimitriou, professor of pathology at the University of Western Australia. “HIV is a metaphor for a lot of quasi-related phenomena," Papadimitriou said. "No one has ever proved its existence as a virus. We don't believe it exists." It is important to note that opinions on AIDS vary widely. For instance Research by a prestigious retro virologist named Duesberg, who was a member of the National Academy of Sciences (an exclusive club of about a thousand of the elite scientists of the world who have made major contributions in their field) argues that an infectious agent cannot be the cause of AIDS. Rather, the cause is toxicological. In ‘Infectious AIDS,’ and in ‘Inventing The AIDS Virus,’ two highly respected books by him, Duesberg provides a short history showing how the toxic effects of certain allopathic drugs became part of the case definition of the diseases they were supposed to remedy. In both books Duesberg demonstrates that AIDS cannot be caused by a microbe. He believes that HIV may be a (non-causal) serological marker for risk behavior, like the toxic long-term use of drugs. Although our immune systems have been assaulted by increased food processing and chemicals, pesticide drift and runoff, topsoil erosion, increased background radiation, vaccination, fluoridation (the list is extensive) for the last 60 or so years, AIDS became noticeable in high enough numbers only after a new quality of drugging began around 1970. Duesberg believes that the highly immunosuppressive amyl and alkyl nitrite inhalants, amphetamines, Quaaludes, cocaine, heroine, and others—with exponential increases in usage every decade—are what tipped the scales. “Medical politics is the art of sheer power. There is no compromise: you go right for the jugular vein before your own is torn out. There's no room for compromise because churches never compromise on canon law....in medical politics there is a rigid authoritarian power structure which can be moved only through winner-take-all power plays. Historically, doctors who have dared to change things significantly have been ostracized and have had to sacrifice their careers in order to hold to their ideas. Few doctors are willing to do either," wrote Dr Mendelsohn. Dr. demonstrates this art calling everyone a quack who does not agree with his view of H.I.V as the cause of AIDS. In reality there are a lot of quacks in health care, many who don’t know what they are doing, who have undergone little training and/or those who have little perceptual discipline. But allopathic doctors who cannot stand any truth but the ones they believe in are the cruelest and the most dangerous because people in large numbers die at their hands due to their unsustainable rigid belief systems. There are three very basic reasons put forward by some scientists for doubting the official theory that HIV causes Aids, according to Professor Tracey.[8] 1) After billions of dollars HIV researchers are still unable to explain how HIV a conventional retrovirus with a very simple genetic organization damages the immune system. 2) In the absence of any model of how HIV "causes" Aids, the evidence that is introduced to support the thesis is epidemiological and therefore fundamentally correlational. The epidemiological evidence is both the strength and weakness of the thesis. On the one hand there is a marked presence of HIV in those with the condition, which has been defined as Aids. On the other hand we can map that epidemiology and when we do we discover that it was and remains overwhelmingly within highly specific risk groups. 3) Predictions made about the likely course of the "epidemic" have failed spectacularly. Dr. ’s attacks on others merits ridicule and disdain. titles his essay Deadly Quackery and he sounds big, but it’s the littlest people who call others quacks. In reality there is no open discussion in medicine, no science, no truth, justice or humanity and it is time and nature which will decide things in the long run. Yes, the blood and suffering will flow but there are limits to everything in the end and truth will prevail, even if it means the destruction via massive poisoning of humanity. God is the truth in the end and He is indestructible, fortunately for us He cannot be poisoned. I have a childhood friend who defined God as Nature but in the local earth sense it is unfortunate that nature on earth can be destroyed with pollution and poison, and mankind with it. The real threat to humanity is not a virus but man himself. His attitudes and actions, especially among the super rich reek of madness. This is nowhere more true than in the world of medicine which has become an instrument of death and suffering not health and healing.
