'Global Business Coalition' Wants More Testing:

But Tests Do Not Show AIDS

Epidemics

 

 

BANGKOK - 15th International AIDS Conference:

" Testing is the missing link, " said Trevor Neilson,

executive director of the Global Business Coalition on

HIV/AIDS, representing 150 companies around the world,

according to an article on Reuters, calling for

routine HIV testing on a large scale.

 

There is only one problem: No AIDS virus has been

scientifically isolated as yet - incredible but true -

and therefore available tests can not be validated

against a virus. So there is no " gold standard " that

would confirm that the tests actually show viral

infection. They react to over 60 common conditions

including vaccinations, the common cold and a host of

other everyday health problems.

 

Test manufacturers are well aware of this and are

warning that tests, which were originally developed to

ensure the safety of the blood supply, are not an

accurate diagnostic procedure to determine an AIDS

diagnosis. Nevertheless, tests are widely used to

inform people of their " death sentence " , encouraging

them to take retroviral drugs and implying that they

probably will succumb to the disease. Manufacturers of

the tests have recently been sued in the US and in

France.

 

The aim of testing is clearly to deliver expensive

and highly toxic retroviral drugs to more people. Yet,

people survive AIDS without retrovirals, as shown by

the example of David Patient, who is helping AIDS

victims in Eritrea, and by " Alive and Well " Christine

Maggiore, both long term drug-free survivers.

AIDS is a (virally induced) nutritional

deficiency, not a classical viral disease, according

to Canadian researcher Harold Foster, who in his free

e-book " What Really Causes AIDS " identifies the

nutrients that AIDS sufferers are short of and affirms

that if these nutrients are supplied, sufferers will

not develop AIDS symptoms and those already showing

symptoms will return to a normal life in a short time.

 

Virus or no virus, nutrients have something to do

with AIDS. This is obvious from a recent Harvard

research in Tanzania, which confirmed that a simple

multivitamin supplement significantly slowed the

development of AIDS symptoms.

 

Yet, the Global Business Coalition, together with

WHO, UNAIDS, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,

Tuberculosis and Malaria and AIDS activists are

calling for routine non-voluntary testing with a view

to selling ever more toxic retrovirals to the world's

poor, causing AIDS symptoms and making the AIDS war a

self-fulfilling prophecy. Business with disease?

 

Testing Is Missing Link in AIDS Fight, Experts Say

BANGKOK (Reuters) - The world will not meet its

goal of getting AIDS medicines to the many millions

who need them unless testing is stepped up

dramatically, experts said on Saturday.

 

A new public-private alliance to promote routine

testing met for the first time in Bangkok, on the eve

of the 15th international AIDS conference, and called

for cheaper and better tests in developing countries.

 

Cuts of more than 90 percent in drug prices have

made widespread access to antiretrovirals feasible in

even the poorest countries, but testing remains a

significant barrier.

 

More than 90 percent of people do not know whether

they have HIV. As a result, most are severely ill

before they are diagnosed, making them harder and more

expensive to treat.

 

" We need the same dramatic movement on price

reductions for diagnostics, not only to see whether

people are infected but also to maintain treatment,

because that has become sometimes now more expensive

than the actual drugs themselves, " UNAIDS executive

director Peter Piot told reporters.

 

The number of tests needed is daunting.

 

For the World Health Organization to meet its

target of treating three million people with HIV/AIDS

in the developing world by 2005, some 5,000 people a

day will need to be put on medication.

 

That implies 500,000 tests a day will be needed,

assuming that 50,000 will test positive in

high-prevalence countries and that 10 percent of these

will need drugs immediately.

 

" If over 90 percent of those who are infected with

HIV don't know they are infected, global testing

policy has failed. Testing is the missing link, " said

Trevor Neilson, executive director of the Global

Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, representing 150

companies around the world.

 

An alliance of WHO, UNAIDS, the Global Fund to

Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Global

Business Coalition and AIDS activists is calling for

routine as opposed to voluntary testing.

 

That is a strategy that led to a dramatic boost in

diagnosis in Botswana, where nearly 40 percent of the

population is estimated to be HIV positive, since it

was introduced in January.

 

Under the routine testing scheme, patients

arriving at clinics and surgeries are offered HIV

tests routinely, although they can still refuse -- a

right Piot said was essential.

 

The Global Fund, the main provider of AIDS testing

kits in the developing world, has funds for 52 million

tests. Executive director Richard Feachem said this

was not nearly enough.

 

Diagnostic companies are already offering

discounts for some tests, but Feachem hopes increased

buying power as testing increases will drive prices

down further. Now, a finger-prick test costs around 80

cents in Africa while oral tests cost $3.25.

Here is an article recently forwarded by Dr Leo

Rebello of Aidsalternativa.org

 

(The article is written by Pat Rattigan and the

original is located here)

 

THE GREAT HIV / AIDS HOAX

 

The multi-billion dollar AIDS/HIV fraud is based

on two fabrications: that AIDS is a single disease and

that it is caused by the HI virus or the " HIV virus "

as some medical/media masterminds call it - perhaps

they think the V in HIV stands for volcano.

 

In Japan " AIDS " is virtually unknown : yet, in

random tests, 25% of people were found to be

" HIV-positive " .

 

HIV-positive response means nothing of any

relevance to health: it can be triggered by

vaccination, malnutrition, M.S., measles, influenza,

papilloma virus wart, Epstein Barr virus, leprosy,

glandular fever, hepatitis, syphillis ... : over sixty

different conditions.

 

Dr Robert E. Willner, inoculated himself with the

blood of Pedro Tocino, a HIV-positive haemophiliac, on

live Spanish television: an event which was not picked

up the pharma-beholden British or US media.

 

The great HIV/AIDS lie was created by Robert Gallo

who was found guilty of " scientific misconduct " .

" ...instead of trying to prove his insane theories

about AIDS to his peers...he went public. Then, with

the help of Margaret Heckler, former head of Health

and Human Services, who was under great political

pressure to come up with an answer to AIDS, the

infamous world press announcement of the discovery of

the so-called AIDS virus came about. This great fraud

is now responsible for the deaths of hundreds of

thousands... It was no accident that Gallo just

happened to patent the test for HIV the day after the

announcement...Gallo is now a multi-millionaire

because of AIDS and his fraudulent AIDS test. " Dr.

Willner.

 

By grouping together 25-plus different diseases

and other allied factors - pneumonia, herpes,

candidiasis, salmonella, various cancers, infections,

vaccine and antibiotic damage, amyl nitrate damage,

malnutrition etc.and, particularly in Africa, TB,

malaria, dysentery leprosy and " slim disease " - and

calling the whole thing an " AIDS epidemic " , a

multi-billion dollar/pound " AIDS research and

treatment " racket has been created.

 

The mythical " HIV-induced AIDS plague " in the

Third World generates huge sums of cash from Western

relief organisations whilst smokescreening the

vaccine/drug boys, responsible for the carnage.

 

Every death of someone " HIV-positive " is recorded

as an " AIDS death " .

 

Periodically, the BBC/ITV/Press visit

Africa/Yugoslavia/Russia etc to report on the

" HIV/AIDS victims " and how they cannot afford the

" life-saving AZT. "

 

Glaxo Wellcome's lethal drug, AZT, in combination

with the diagnosis of HIV-positive and the prediction,

stated or implied, that - " You will die of AIDS " is

one of the great pieces of Medical Black Magic -

Voodoo Medicine at its most impressive: people have

committed suicide on the basis of the ludicrous

diagnosis.

 

Pregnant women who are HIV-positive have been told

to stop breast-feeding, dosed with AZT, have had

abortions or have been sterilised. HIV-positive babies

who become ill -from vaccination or whatever - are

automatically diagnosed as " suffering from AIDS " .

 

" Considering that there is little scientific proof

of the exact linkage of HIV and AIDS, is it ethical to

prescribe AZT, a toxic chain terminator of DNA...to

150,000 Americans - among them pregnant women and

newborn babies..? Rep.G Gutknecht US House of

Representatives.

 

New Labour " Health " have now announced that all

pregnant women in the UK will be " offered " a HIV test.

Those who fall for the scam and who are diagnosed as

" HIV positive " will be given the chance to have

themselves and their unborn child permanently damaged

by AZT etc. Pregnancy, itself, can cause a positive

diagnosis.

 

AZT began as a " cancer drug " but was withdrawn for

being too toxic: like being thrown out of the Gestapo

for cruelty. Its effects include - cancer, hepatitis,

dementia, seizures, anxiety, impotence, leukopaenia, ,

severe nausea, ataxia, etc. and the termination of DNA

synthesis. i.e. AIDS/death by prescription. AZT

eventually kills all those who continue to take it.

 

" WARNING : Retrovir (AZT)...has been associated

with symptomatic myopathy, similar to that produced by

Human Immunodeficiency Virus... " Glaxo Wellcome

literature!

 

None of which stops the medical trade from pushing

it on every trusting sap who is not ill to start with

but is labelled with the " HIV-positive " nonsense and

then destroyed by AZT; with " AIDS " getting the blame -

and more billions pouring in for the drug boys,

vivisectors, animal breeders and the rest. The latest

stunt is to give a " cocktail " of drugs - including

AZT, of course, and at £12,000 per head, per year - to

all homosexual men who are " HIV-positive " .

 

A particularly good scam is to haul into court

someone " guilty of deliberately infecting the victim

with the 'HIV-Virus which causes AIDS' " which then

develops into " full-blown AIDS " - no mention of

vaccine, antibiotic damage etc or full-blown AZT. Over

2000 - and rising, of the world's scientists are now

disputing the HIV hoax, their efforts being

continually suppressed by the AIDS establishment, the

pharmaceutical/vivisection syndicate and their

political and media lackeys.

" The story of AIDS is deeply connected with the

vicissitudes of the theory that viruses cause cancer

and the failure of the cancer research programme.

Michael Verney-Elliot put it most acidly when he said

" From the people who didn't bring you the virus that

causes cancer, it's the virus that doesn't cause

AIDS.' " Jad Adams The HIV Myth.

 

" It's not even probable, let alone scientifically

proven, that HIV causes AIDS. If there is

evidence...there should be scientific documents

which...demonstrate that fact... There are no such

documents. " Dr Kary Mullis Nobel Laureate

 

" If you think a virus is the cause of AIDS, do a

control without it....it hasn't been done. The

epidemiology of AIDS is a pile of anecdotal stories,

selected to fit the virus/AIDS hypothesis... " Peter

Duesberg Member, National Academy of Sciences.

 

" Nobody wants to look at the facts...I've sent

countless letters to medical journals...they simply

ignore them. The fact is, this whole heterosexual AIDS

thing is a hoax. " Prof Gordon Stewart Public Health

University of Glasgow.

 

" The cause of AIDS is multiufactorial ; HIV is

neither necessary nor sufficient. " Dr Lawrence

Bradford biologist.

 

" I am well convinced that HIV is harmless. " Dr

Fabio Franchi, specialist, infectious disease

 

" ...AIDS is not a disease at all - it is a

government program. " Tom Bethel, Hoover Institute

researcher.

 

" Electron microscopy reveals retrovirus-like

particles in 90% of enlarged lymph nodes from AIDS

patients but the identical particles can be found in

90% of enlarged lymph nodes from patients who do not

have AIDS and are not at risk from developing AIDS. If

the particles seen...in AIDS patients are, as the AIDS

experts assure, HIV, what are the particles seen in

patients.. who are not at risk... " Dr Valendar Turner,

Autralian Broadcasting program 1994.

 

" A major problem with the new AIDS definition is

that it ignores the man-made environmental causes of

immune suppression. Exposure to toxins, alcoholism,

heavy drug use or heavy antibiotic use all can cause

onset of the list of 'diseases' indicative of AIDS.

" Los Angeles Weekly Dec 18 1987. [Dr. Leo Rebello -

has said the same thing in his book AIDS AND

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE].

 

" I have seen the constant terror and the

programming to get sick and die...As long as we imply

that 'AIDS' itself exists we are operating within the

AIDS group fantasy. " Michael Ellner medical hypnotist

 

" Regarding the only type of HIV antibody test

routinely used in the UK since 1992, called an ELISA,

manufacturers, Abbott Laboratories, say : 'ELISA

testing alone cannot be used to diagnose AIDS..'. "

 

Roche Diagnostics..likewise say of their genetic

'HIV testing kits' : " The Amplicor HIV Monitor test is

not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV or

as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV

infection. " Continuum Magazine leaflet Dec 1998

 

" The techniques of the HIV test have not been

standardised and the magnitude and the consequences of

inter-laboratory variations have not been measured.

Its results require interpretation and the criteria

for this interpretation vary, not only from lab to

lab, but from month to month. " New England Journal of

Medicine 317:238-241.

 

" Positive tests do not prove AIDS or pre-AIDS

disease status nor that these diseases will be

acquired. " Manufacturers of Western Blot (HIV) test

kit.

 

" ...in the general population, which the CDC

estimates to have a prevalence of HIV infection of

0.006%, using a test with a specificity of 99%, the

result is that 94% of all positives will be false

positives. " Christine Johnson, Continuum Magazine,

April 1994

 

" A study last month, by Congress's Office of

Technology Assessment, found that HIV tests can be

very inaccurate indeed. For groups at very low risk -

people who don't use IV drugs or have sex with gay or

bi-sexual men - 9 in 10 positive findings are called

false positives, indicating infection where none

exists. " US News and World Report Nov 23 1994.

 

" HIV tests are notoriously unreliable in Africa. A

1994 study, published in the Journal of Infectious

Diseases, concluded that HIV tests were useless in

central Africa, where the microbes responsible for

tuberculosis, malaria and leprosy were so prevalent

that they registered over 70% false positive. "

Sacramento Bee October 30 1994

 

" It was the first time a scientist had ever run

away from me. Typically scientists are bulldogs. They

fight for their position. But the HIV guys don't. They

run. " David Rasnick, on his doomed attempt to get

answers on awkward questions from HIV-fantasist Martin

Markowitz.

 

" We've all seen them. Stars, disc jockeys,

sportsmen and women with a red ribbon pinned onto

white tuxedos, black dinner jackets and

spaghetti-strapped evening dresses. These are the

compassionate celebrities who, with a sad expression,

don the mantle of corporate grief for 'AIDS victims

and sufferers' and feel they are 'doing good'. Granted

they are doing this with the best of intentions but

far from doing good they are actually doing damage -

they are using their celebrity to raise funds for AIDS

research that is entirely misdirected and orchestrated

by a profit - oriented and commercially-blinkered

pharmaceutical industry.They are perpetrating the myth

of the ... friend who was unlucky enough to get AIDS

through one unfortunate sexual encounter. They are

colluding in a dangerous cult of death-worship. They

are diverting attention away from the high-risk

lifestyle factors including recreational and

intravenous drug use that accompany 'acquired immune

deficiency'....

 

When Celia Farber interviewed the late Michael

Callen (author of Surviving AIDS) for Spin Magazine in

1988 he said, ' I have gone to a great deal of trouble

to find these people who claim to have only one or two

'unlucky' sexual contacts. I found ten of them in all

and each one ended up telling me they had been

lying...in the support group setting they would regale

us with tales of bathhouses and promiscuity and lovers

on the side and drug use.'...

 

But there are those who prefer to cling to the

'single simple cause'. They have something to cling to

in their grief...It is this ignorant, if innocent,

collusion, both by ordinary mortals and celebrities,

with the orthodox virus-AIDS hypothesis (that has

failed to save a single life) which continues to fill

the pharmaceutical industry's pockets, continues to

perpetrate the myth that HIV causes AIDS - that HIV

exists at all - and continues to prevent dissident

scientists from exploring new avenues of research. "

Joan Shenton, Meditel Productions - Continuum Magazine

Jun/Jul 1997.

 

To add to the lunacy, if the HIV existed, a

" positive " response would mean that the body has

superiority over the virus : " HIV " is the only

infective agent where a positive response indicates a

negative situation.

 

Taking the " HIV test " is of no use whatsoever to

anyone other than drug companies and governments ever

eager to increase their control. Those who have had

their immune system damaged by vaccines, antibiotics,

antipyretics, analgesics, amyl nitrates etc. need to

detoxify and to build up immune strength with raw,

vegan, organic foods, homoeopathic and herbal remedies

: and, above all else, to stop swallowing the " 'HIV'

causes 'AIDS' " rubbish and the lethal AZT

" medication " .

Comments

 

 

An interesting comment received by e-mail from

Jonathan Campbell:

 

 

None of the testing they are doing are looking for

the correct virus. Knox and Carrigan have found a

near-100% correlation between AIDS and HHV-6A, an

incredibly virulent virus that attacks lymph nodes and

other tissue, creating huge amounts of necrotic

tissue. It is present in both people with AIDS and

also those who have CFIDS, the non-HIV AIDS.

 

Consider the following links:

 

HHV-6A is the real AIDS (and CFIDS) virus

May Relate to CFIDS

Cause of Immune Suppression other than HIV

 

They are also overlooking an obvious cheap

treatment for AIDS/CFIDS, suggested by the discoverer

of protease inhibition, Matthias Rath. It is the same

as his treatment for cancer: vitamin C and the amino

acids lysine and proline, which inhibit viral

replication, cell fusion, and destruction caused by

viral oxidation products.
