AIDS, Chronic Fatigue: Modified African Swine Fever Virus Implicated?

Epidemics

 

Health

 

 

What do people suffering of AIDS and those suffering of CFIDS -

chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome - have in common?

Apparently more than immune trouble. There is a virus that seems to be

present in both, but is almost never tested for. HHV-6A, thought to be

a genetic cross between Cytomegalovirus and African Swine Fever Virus,

is found in both AIDS and CFIDS patients.

 

HIV instead, a relatively harmless retrovirus that cannot cause

the symptoms of Aids, has been given all the blame. The hypothesis

that HIV = Aids has been scientifically and quite thoroughly

discredited by Peter Duesberg in his book " Inventing the AIDS Virus " ,

although officially it is thought to be rock solid and today, highly

cytotoxic anti-retroviral treatment is almost universally recommended

for AIDS sufferers by health authorities around the world, while those

suffering of Chronic Fatigue and CFIDS are told that " it's all in your

mind " and are given psychological treatment or prescribed psychiatric

medication.

 

June 2004: Enter a new point of view...

 

In June last year, Jonathan Campbell introduced me to a new and -

I must say - intriguing angle to the AIDS catastrophe, which we will

explore further in this article.

 

- - -

 

In an email, responding to an article of mine on AIDS testing,

Campbell said:

 

None of the testing they are doing is 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:

 

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

HHV-6 in AIDS

 

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.

 

Another participant in the discussion came up with a further link.

Doing a search on HHV-6A, he found ..HHV-6A... " This is the virus,

formally identified by Dr. Robert Gallo, from the National Cancer

Institute and discoverer of HIV, that his research team had identified

in the Lake Tahoe outbreak of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome during the

mid-1980's. "

 

This prompted a reply by Jonathan on 11 July 2004:

 

The Lake Tahoe incident is what put the nail in the coffin of

HIV-->AIDS, at least for me. These poor folks in Lake Tahoe were told

that it was " all in their heads " by CDC, they brought the samples

back, they discovered they were all infected with this " new " virus,

Gallo calls it HHV-6A, and the folks at Tahoe are never told a word of

it. They probably got it from infected pork from some fine restaurant

in Tahoe. There is a movie (apparently very sad) called " I Remember

Me " made by a film producer stricken by CFIDS at Tahoe.

 

Meanwhile there is an epidemic in the new factory pig farms called

" Mystery Swine Disease " that destroys the pigs' immune system, and no

one makes the connection to the ASFV brought in by Haitian immigrants.

To this day they have given it a different name: Porcine Reproductive

and Respiratory Syndrome. Pig farmers are told to destroy entire

" herds " - tens of thousands of pigs - and not to sell the meat. Yeah,

sure. I'm sure some of it made its way to Tahoe.

 

ASFV was cultured in Haiti by the CDC-operated CIA station in

Haiti for use against Cuba - biological warfare - in the 70s, and it

spread to the Haitian native pigs, to the point where the National

Guard was called in to " eradicate " the wild pig population in the

'80s. This is where the AIDS epidemic came from as well, because

Haitians used these pigs, infected with ASFV, for Santaria (voodoo)

blood rituals, and Haiti was a favorite vacation spot for gays from

San Francisco, who then spread the virus in the bathhouses when

" cruising " (having dozens of sex partners) was popular in the gay

community. (This transmission mechanism was actually identified by a

couple of doctors at Mass General Hospital in the 70s as they tried to

help some Haitian immigrants who had AIDS). The reason that HIV comes

up as a marker virus in AIDS is that green monkey kidneys (containing

SIV and a host of other intermingled viruses and retroviruses) were

used as the culture medium for culturing ASFV at the CDC lab. But

there is no particular reason why HIV would survive in every pig

infected with ASFV. The same thing was going on in Africa: the CDC/CIA

station in Zaire was culturing ASFV for use against Angola, and one

AIDS researcher in Africa commented that ASFV had been found in pigs

where the first AIDS clusters appeared.

 

Jane Teas and John Beldekas were the first to identify ASFV as a

" cofactor " in AIDS, both in Florida (Belle Glade) where Haitian

immigrants had settled and had an AIDS cluster, and also in AIDS

patients in Europe, but Gallo shut them up - he got their institutions

to shut down their research and in 1986 issued a statement at Cold

Spring Harbor that no other agent other than HIV should be studied or

supported by any organization worldwide studying AIDS. Gallo shut down

this research because he knew what the consequences would be if ASFV

aka HHV-6A was found to be the real causative factor in AIDS...

 

I was still reluctant to make this theory of AIDS transmission

public until a couple of years ago when I stumbled into a virtually

identical line of research published by Neenyah Ostrom in one of the

gay newspapers in New York City in the '90s. The only thing missing

from her analysis was how HIV got into the picture.

 

Peter Duesberg misses the boat entirely: since HIV can't be the

cause of AIDS, he throws out any possibility that it is virally

caused. He misses two important parts of the picture - that

interspecies infections (in this case, a porcine infection to humans)

are often the most virulent because there has been no chance for our

immune systems to adapt, and that there are viruses that are

exceedingly deadly (e.g., ebola) for which we have little or no defense.

 

This line of research is wide open, and could provide an accurate

testing protocol for AIDS as well as the documentation to prove its

real origins (as well as discrediting the folks who promoted the

HIV-->AIDS mechanism for their own personal gain.)

 

This message, of course, was some serious food for thought and

some months later, in February of this year, Jonathan once again

commented on the CFIDS/AIDS viral trail of evidence that seems to

escape the attention of just about every researcher:

 

Please see the website http://www.hhv-6foundation.org/. People

with AIDS and CFIDS test positive for this immune-destructive virus.

(And I don't mean " viral load " or fragments, but real viruses). CFIDS

is AIDS, but all of these people are " HIV negative. "

 

This information complicates matters considerably for those who

reject viral causation of AIDS. There is a wall of silence dividing

people with AIDS (who accept that they have a " death certificate "

disease and accept toxic drugs that then proceed to kill them), and

people with CFS and CFIDS (who just suffer in silence).

 

In reply to a comment of mine about the harmless nature of most

virus particles in the face of strong immune defences, Jonathan added:

 

HHV-6A (which some researchers believe is a strain of African

Swine Fever Virus - ASFV) causes profound and rapid necrosis of

tissue, especially in lymph nodes. This is the first stage of CFIDS

and AIDS progression.

 

In pigs, ASFV causes AIDS symptoms.

 

The two primary researchers in the possible connection between

ASFV and AIDS were driven from the medical profession by Gallo. For

the first time in the history of medicine, certain kinds of research

were banned. 1986 Gallo declared (in the Cold Spring Harbor statement)

that since there was no possible connection between AIDS and ASFV

(even though these two researchers had found a link), nor were there

any other co-factor causes for AIDS other than HIV, therefore that no

research on these avenues of research should be pursued anywhere. Period.

 

Dr. John Beldekas never recovered. He died earlier this year,

either suicide or drug overdose.

Dr. Jane Teas works in other research areas and refuses to discuss

the issue in any depth.

 

The reason that ASFV is suspected is that the first AIDS victims

in the western hemisphere came from Haiti, where ASFV had been

cultured for use against Cuba (by the CDC testing station on behalf of

the CIA) in biological warfare. It was a popular vacation spot for

California gay men, who it is thought then transported it to the US

west coast, where the US AIDS epidemic began.

 

CFIDS (non-HIV AIDS, if you will, that is, AIDS that is " HIV

negative " ) seems to happen in clusters. ASFV is again suspected, in

pigs it is being called PRRS to hide its origins; there are outbreaks

of PRRS ( " Mystery Swine Fever " ) that require slaughter of entire

stocks of farm pigs. Undercooked pork or pork blood contamination

could spread the disease vector to an entire community, as it did at

Lake Tahoe in the late 80s. (There is a movie about it called " I

Remember Me. " ) It was the virus in the samples from this outbreak that

got labeled " HHV-6A " .

 

The CDC runs the testing stations, which is the logical

explanation why Gallo is so adamant in not allowing any alternative

causation research.

 

The non-viral arguments about AIDS progression (Duesberg,

Rapoport, et al) do not have adequate explanations for CFIDS (which

mostly has affected previously healthy middle-class people) or AIDS

progression among those with healthy lifestyles who never take the

drugs. It is very nice to cite the AIDS Long Term Survivors, but many

of these never had any disease at all.

 

So far so good. We have an alternative hypothesis of AIDS genesis,

which involves government sponsored virus experiments on pigs and a

route of spread of the disease that seems to indicate that the pig

virus could well have something to do with it. The problem is - no one

seems interested in pursuing this line of research. Officially,

everything is clear - AIDS is caused by the HIV retrovirus, never mind

all the open questions about how a non-virulent virus can affect the

immune system and how to explain the numerous AIDS cases without the

presence HIV.

 

Here are some more recent pointers for further research (April 2005):

 

For more information about HHV-6A, the likely pathogen virus in

AIDS/CFIDS, try using " HHV-6A " in a web search. You will learn a lot.

See especially the work of Donald Carrigan and Konstance Knox.

 

Regarding etiology of the disease in the US: the first cases of

AIDS were Haitian immigrants, a Canadian nurse who worked in Haiti in

the early 1970s, and gay men from San Francisco. These are verifiable

from newspaper and medical journal articles from the time. Haiti was a

popular vacation spot for gay men from San Francisco, for some obscure

reason, and Viera et. al. from Mass General Hospital surmised that

AIDS entered the US via this route. It was quickly spread from San

Francisco to New York, as many gay men traveled this air corridor.

(Meanwhile, back in Haiti, the US National Guard was sent to eradicate

the entire wild boar population in Haiti, as they were all, according

to US government reports, infected with African Swine Fever Virus.)

 

Below is an excerpt describing the excellent work of Teas and

Beldekas who I mentioned earlier.

 

************************************

 

4. African Swine Fever Virus. Pathobiologist Jane Teas and

microbiologist John Beldekas, both from Boston, have undertaken

considerable research relating to African Swine Fever Virus (a disease

of pigs not contained to Africa) as the cause of AIDS. They have found

that African Swine Fever (ASF) causes symptoms which are very similar

to AIDS.[15] According to Beldekas and Teas, many countries in the

Caribbean, Latin America and Central Africa had major outbreaks of

AIDS within 1 1/2-2 years after an ASF epidemic.

 

Teas has hypothesized the " accidental introduction of African

Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) into the population of Haiti. " [16] Further

work with Beldekas has broadened the hypothesis into an ASF-AIDS link

throughout the third world, including insect transmission as a mode of

spreading the disease.

 

Although first located in Kenya in 1909, ASF was unknown in our

hemisphere until a major epidemic occurred in Cuba, in 1971.[17] By

slaughtering all pigs, both diseased and healthy (the only effective

means of control) in the province of Havana, the Cuban government was

able to bring the epidemic to a halt.

 

Outbreaks of ASF occurred in Brazil and the Dominican Republic,

1978; Haiti, 1979; and again in Cuba, 1980. Unlike Cuba, the people of

the other three countries were encouraged by their governments to eat

the pork of the slaughtered pigs, under the direction of the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA).

 

Common to all these epidemics, as well as those in Africa since

the 1960's, was a new and less virulent strain of ASF, one which

caused a much lower death rate in pigs than its predecessor.

Coincidentally, in the early 1960's a new ASF vaccine was tried out on

pigs in Angola. Over one-third of the pigs had severe reactions to the

experiment and developed low-grade versions of ASF which, although not

killing the affected pigs, persisted nonetheless. Scientists,

meanwhile, had developed a successful vaccine for hog cholera, a

disease having the exact clinical symptoms of ASF. However, several of

the countries were given vaccines which were probably made from blood

contaminated with ASFV.[18] The situation in Angola, suggests Teas,

accounts for the spread of ASFV in African pigs, while the

contaminated cholera vaccine explains the outbreaks of AIDS in the

western hemisphere.

 

In attempting to document their research Beldekas and Teas have

run into extreme recalcitrance from the USDA and the CDC. The reasons

for this are primarily twofold:

 

A. On an economic level, their research threatens a $9 billion

U.S. pork industry.[19]

 

B. Politically, it directly attacks the HIV mainstream theory, and

also points an overwhelmingly accusatory finger at the USDA's Animal

Virus Research Facility at Plum Island, New York. Among other shady

doings at this facility,[20] Plum Island is the only place in the U.S.

where ASFV can be tested.
