Poz Propaganda Protest in LA [Jan. 20-22]

[Guest guest]

AIDS DISSIDENT ACTION ALERT FOR SOUTHERN CALIF:

THIS WEEKEND, JAN. 20-22, 2006 West Hollywood, CA

 

In 2001, I went to a training session for 'HIV/AIDS' support group facilitators

lead by LA Shanti, fully intending, as a matter of non-violent resistance to the

AIDS Industry Apologism, to start a support group for those wanting to explore,

in a safe-place, dissenting scientific and alternative medical challenges to the

'HIV/AIDS' theory or model. Afterall, it's not very 'supportive' to attend a

group where these issues are considered already settled and 'undeniable' if you

still have doubts.

 

However, after the first full day of a two-weekend training program in West

Hollywood, whereupon I challenged information that was being presented during an

HIV 101 session, afterwhich I was asked to leave. The following weekend I

invited a few other AIDS Dissidents to come with me and stand near the

exits/entrances to provide AIDS alternative resources and information and to let

the other participants know I had been banned and why. I consider it to have

been a rather successful dissident non-violent action, planting many seeds and

distributing literature while having a number of productive conversations.

Because of this action, the PLUS [Positive Living for US] seminars are held in

" undisclosed locations " though the present location of the following event has

been made known to me.

 

Now, another entity, The Life Group LA, is organizing a similiar event, POZ LIFE

WEEKEND SEMINAR, with many of the same cast of characters, LA Shanti, Being

Alive LA, etc. for this very weekend: Friday evening and all day Saturday and

Sunday, January 20-22, 2006 in West Hollywood, California. I am organizing an

educational outreach effort to reach those who may have never heard the AIDS

Dissident message. These programs will sometimes claim to be providing a

'holistic' approach, massage and a little accupuncture, yada yada, even while

they only present 'complementary' therapies as an adjunct and not a viable

alternative to conventional drug 'cocktail' chemotherapy.

 

This CALL TO ACTION is for those in the Southern California area who are free

anytime from Friday evening through Saturday and Sunday. Please call me as soon

as possible to let me know of your interest and willingness to take this most

bold action. Our actions will all be legal and non-violent, though will likely

get a bit heated at times. This is a semi-annual event and the opportunity has

just presented itself, so I hope you will prayerfully consider participating.

== BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON AIDS CENSORSHIP ==

 

Are These Facts News to You?

 

Why are we not getting all the facts about HIV and AIDS? Why do media reports

uncritically promote HIV testing and the notion that everyone is at risk for

AIDS? Why do the AIDS organizations supported by our tax dollars and donations

leave the information addressed in this book out of their education programs and

advertising campaigns?

 

Some answers to these questions may be found by examining our current AIDS

funding and research systems which offer little incentive for critical review,

forthright discussion and innovation, but which are the source of most AIDS

news.

 

Total tax dollars spent on AIDS presently exceeds $50 billion. Annual AIDS

funding increases every year and is one of the only areas of the federal budget

that has faced no threat of cuts. The high priority given to AIDS is based on

the notion that AIDS poses a widespread and ever-growing health threat to all

Americans. Since the government institutions responsible for generating official

AIDS reports are the recipients of these multi-billions in AIDS dollars, it is

understandable that the information they disseminate would support, rather than

challenge the idea that AIDS is a large and growing problem. Their official

reports are the basis for most AIDS newsreports that are not analyzed or

investigated before they are repeated by the media and AIDS groups.

 

Investigative media reports on AIDS are generally discouraged because of

sensitivity to the many social and political issues that surround HIV and AIDS.

AIDS awareness, AIDS drugs, safe sex, and HIV testing are among the myriad

concepts about AIDS that have been integrated into popular culture. Widespread

acceptance of these concepts makes challenges to current views on HIV and AIDS

appear highly controversial or even too dangerous to report. As orthodox AIDS

expert and Nobel Laureate Dr. David Baltimore has declared, " There is no

question HIV is the cause of AIDS. Anyone who gets up publicly and says the

opposite is encouraging people to risk their lives. " 155

 

The Los Angeles Times recently acknowledged the factors that can influence AIDS

news in " Protest Averted, " an article that recounts the decision by a local TV

station to alter a broadcast that mentioned decreases in AIDS: " After being

pressured by the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center, KCBS-TV

Channel 2 has revised a station editorial on AIDS, deleting the line that stated

'A new report by the CDC indicates that AIDS is down in all categories and is

not an epidemic.' " 156

 

Many AIDS activist organizations charge that critical examination of HIV and

AIDS is equivalent to promoting unsafe sex and may cause HIV positives to stop

or refuse necessary pharmaceutical treatment. One such group, the San Francisco

based drug advocacy organization Project Inform, brought their concerns

regarding AIDS critics before the National Academy of Sciences. Project Inform's

founder, Martin Delaney, is a nationally recognized AIDS activist and a member

of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Council on

AIDS. The group's National Board of Governors includes HIV codiscoverer Dr.

Robert Gallo and award-winning AIDS researcher Dr. David Ho. In 1997, Delaney

petitioned the Academy asking them to expel members who engage in public

challenges to the HIV=AIDS paradigm.157

 

In his letter to the Academy, Delaney denounces scientists who make information

that questions AIDS available to " young and poorly informed people struggling

with HIV infection [whose] natural inclination toward denial gives them a

seemingly legitimate way to ignore a positive HIV antibody test, to cast

aside...safe sex, and to forgo the complex challenge of multi-drug combination

therapy. " He suggests that AIDS is an area of public health that should not be

examined in public forums, reasoning that " just as the blanket of free speech

doesn't sanction the person who yells 'fire' in a crowded theater, neither does

academic freedom provide protection for irresponsible behavior by scientists, "

and draws a parallel to criminal behavior claiming that " it is difficult to

distinguish [the] actions [of scientists who raise questions about AIDS] from

those of a mass murderer. " Attached to Project Inform's appeal is a list of

supporting endorsements.

 

Among the individuals and organizations joining the campaign to curtail critical

discussion of AIDS science are AIDS Project Los Angeles; the Center for AIDS

Prevention Studies at the University of San Francisco AIDS Research Institute;

FAIR (Foundation for AIDS and Immune Research); the Florida AIDS Action Council;

the United Foundation for AIDS; the Multicultural AIDS Coalition Inc.; Being

Alive; Test Positive Aware Network; Gregory Britt, CEO of AIDS Research

Alliance; noted AIDS researcher Dr. Michael Gottlieb; Brenda Freiberg, Chair of

Public Policy at AIDS Service Center in Pasadena, California; Mary Lucey,

President of Women Alive; and Dr. Martin Markowitz of the renowned Aaron Diamond

Research Center in New York.

 

Project Inform's stance against information that questions AIDS is not unusual.

For example, LA Shanti Foundation, a Los Angeles support network for people

diagnosed with life-threatening illness, recently took a position on what many

regard as life-affirming information about AIDS: My request to be considered as

a speaker for their Positive Living For Us seminar, " a weekend for those who

have tested positive for HIV...in which experts provide information about

treatments, nutrition, sexuality, peer support, public benefits, insurance,

legal matters, and other relevant topics, " was not only rejected, my letter of

inquiry was forwarded to the FDA's California AIDS Fraud Task Force, and to the

District Attorney's AIDS Fraud Unit by the PLUS program manager, Ric Parish.158

 

When asked by The Valley Advocate newspaper for comments on the growing movement

to rethink AIDS, Nancy MacNeill, program coordinator for the Los Angeles AIDS

group Women Alive exclaimed, " We hate them. They're spreading dangerous

information. " 159

 

Greg Gonsalves, founder of the New York City AIDS drug advocacy organization

Treatment Action Group declared that " SPIN magazine's AIDS column is a public

health menace " for its inclusion of alternative perspectives on AIDS.160

 

Imposing limits on what AIDS information may be brought before the public limits

public awareness of different ideas about HIV and AIDS.

 

AIDS organizations that object to public questioning of AIDS science may take

their lead from mainstream media venues where news that challenges common

perceptions about AIDS is rare. Journalists who cover AIDS seldom engage in

investigative reporting and many have built successful careers by reiterating

official AIDS views.

 

Uncritical AIDS reports are the ones that have earned awards and have afforded

many writers celebrity status. Laurie Garrett of Newsday, for example, has

received two Pulitzer Prizes for her coverage of AIDS and frequently appears on

television alongside prominent AIDS researchers and government health officials.

In a recent issue of Esquire magazine, Garrett described the PCR test, a test

not indicated or approved for the detection of HIV and unable to measure actual

virus, as measuring HIV with " exquisite specificity. " 161 Rather than rock the

boat propelled by establishment AIDS views, high-level AIDS reporters generally

dismiss or ignore challenges to the HIV=AIDS hypothesis.

 

Since the publications designed to reach HIV positives are funded almost

entirely by AIDS drug manufacturers, it is not surprising that critical

reporting on AIDS is absent from these venues. To cite just one example, AIDS

pharmaceutical promotions filled 17 out of 31 pages allocated for advertisements

in a current issue of A & U: America's AIDS Magazine. Of the remaining 14 pages,

nine were purchased by viatical settlement groups offering cash in exchange for

the life insurance policies of HIV positives.162

 

The research labs that produce the studies and reports that are turned into AIDS

news all rely on some form of federal AIDS funding. Since the late 1980s,

government support for AIDS research has been predicated on adherence to the HIV

hypothesis. Institutions that depend on government dollars for support must

assume that HIV is the cause of AIDS, and grants are not available to scientists

or clinicians whose work may challenge the HIV hypothesis.

 

For example, no funding has been provided for studies that compare the health of

medicated and unmedicated HIV positives in matched control groups, for

conducting viral load tests and T cell counts on HIV negatives matched to AIDS

risk groups, or for verifying the accuracy of HIV antibody tests through

isolation of actual virus in people with positive test results.One well-known

casualty of the AIDS funding system is Dr. Peter Duesberg of the University of

California at Berkeley. Federal support for his laboratory was not renewed after

his 1987 article in Cancer Research that questioned Gallo's HIV hypothesis and

proposed an alternative AIDS hypothesis.163

 

Before 1987, Duesberg received ongoing funding as a recipient of the NIH's

prestigious Outstanding Investigator Award. He was also a Nobel candidate for

his discovery of oncogenes, and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Since raising challenges to the HIV hypothesis, Duesberg has had 21 consecutive

research grant applications rejected by the NIH and other federal and state

funding sources.164

 

Pharmaceutical company grants are another important source of AIDS research

money that make objective circumstances for drug studies almost impossible to

achieve. Surprisingly, it is not considered a conflict of interest when AIDS

researchers own stock in the companies whose products they test, or when they

are hired to run the drug trials they publish in medical journals. In fact, it

is common practice for drug companies to pay researchers to author favorable

articles about their products.165

 

Many AIDS scientists previously employed by the US government have gone into

private AIDS enterprise, a practice that further blurs the lines between news,

public relations, and private interests. For example, the former director of the

US Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Donald Francis, used his reputation in

government AIDS work and his access to the media to raise $40 million in private

investment capital for his AIDS vaccine company VaxGen.166 In a recent CNN

report on VaxGen, Francis promoted an AIDS vaccine as " the only way to stop a

virus that is essentially 100 percent fatal. " 167

 

In fact, most media stories that incite fear of AIDS and praise AIDS drugs

derive from press releases or studies generated by AIDS drug developers. Since

the pharmaceutical industry, like any other profit-oriented business, seeks to

increase sales and profitability, expand its consumer base, and maintain a

favorable public image, it is understandable that their press releases would

promote continued success rather than provide critical or unfavorable

information. However, their press releases are rarely questioned or scrutinized

before being reported as news.

 

While America's institutions of higher learning are considered appropriate

arenas for exploration of new ideas, open debate and discussion, this is often

not the case when it comes to AIDS. To take just one recent example, members of

the Graduate Students Council at Einstein College of Medicine in New York were

discouraged from having their invited guest, Dr. Peter Duesberg, speak on

campus. After being voted the student-selected speaker over orthodox AIDS

researcher Dr. David Baltimore, and NIH Director Dr. Harold Varmus, Duesberg was

informed that faculty members had pressured students into canceling the event.

As student council chairman Robert Glover explained, " The general consensus is

that many people would be offended by Duesberg's visit. " 168As AIDS advocacy and

service providers have grown from grassroots groups into multimillion dollar

corporations, it has become harder for leaders to consider new ideas and

approaches to resolving AIDS. For example, the success formula for

the $45 million nonprofit AIDS Health Care Foundation of Los Angeles is

providing AIDS drugs to people who test HIV positive.169

 

Also, much of the money spent by AIDS groups comes from grants by pharmaceutical

companies. To take just one example, the Washington, DC based National

Association of People with AIDS receives funding from Merck, Glaxo-Wellcome,

Roche, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.170 Such situations provide little incentive for

challenging popular ideas about HIV and AIDS.There are an estimated 90,000 AIDS

organizations in the US, about one for every six Americans ever given a

diagnosis of AIDS.171

 

Few, if any, of these groups evaluate the news they pass on to us in their

education and awareness campaigns. Most repeat unexamined press releases from

government agencies, the pharmaceutical industry and government-funded labs to

the exclusion of all other information. And most will not participate in public

discussion of the questions raised in this book.Over 100 AIDS groups, AIDS

specialists and researchers have declined my invitation to engage in a public

dialogue on the validity of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, the accuracy of HIV tests,

and the safety and efficacy of AIDS treatment drugs.

THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS TAKEN FROM THE WEBSITE OF " THE LIFE GROUP/LA " RE: POZ LIFE

WEEKEND SEMINAR:

 

" The POZ Life Weekend Seminar is a place where compassion, education, community

and love is offered unconditionally. It's a place HIV+ men, women, youths and

family members can come be themselves, feel comforted and support in their

effort to learn how to either live a long healthy productive POZitive lifestyle,

or help someone they know and love overcome the fears associated with being

HIV+.Our diverse group of Presenters, Volunteers and Staff can effectively reach

out and relate to the specific issues that can concern and equally diverse group

of men, women, people of color, gay men and heterosexual HIV individuals. Age is

not relevant in most cases, however each community and culture has specific

needs for support, and each is addressed in breakout or concurrent sessions

according to the specific demographic majority of the enrolled number of

participants. When enrolling, you'll be asked what your specific concerns might

be, or what you hope to achieve by participating in the

seminar. We strive to find qualified presenters to address these specific

issues, or ask one of the already scheduled qualified presenters to be sure and

touch on that topic to insure all questions are answered. Our workshops are

extremely interactive. Our Presenters always welcome your questions and

comments. You see…presenters and volunteers are not the only ones sharing and

teaching. The magic occurs when participants also reach out and help one another

with helpful information, suggestions, support and tips. "

Although The Life Group LA claims: " Our program is currently not funded in full.

All Facilitators, Presenters and Staff are currently Dedicated Volunteers. All

donations currently go directly to the client service and production of the

weekend seminars. No salaries are paid.Our only compensations are the emotional

rewards we receive when you attend! " it appears they are looking to grow and are

asking for volunteer grantwriters and fundraisers and donations. Also, they have

accepted donations from pharmers Gilead and GlaxoSmithKline [ " GSK " ] as well as

professionals employed by the AIDS Industry.

HIV DENIAL OR INFORMED AIDS DISSENT?

 

Think only a few scientists, doctors, academics and journalists doubt the 'HIV'

theory of immuno-deficiency? THINK AGAIN.

 

http://www.aras.ab.ca/thelist.htm

 

http://www.aras.ab.ca/aidsquotes.htm

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW hundreds of dissenting or dissident scientists, including Nobel

Laureates and members of the National Academy of Sciences, confirming

alternative medicine's long questioning of the virus/germ mode or 'one-cause,

one-course' drug-based model, are calling into question the dominant,

conventional pharmaceutically-based scientific and medical hypothesis for the

alleged viral pathogenesis and progression of 'HIV=AIDS?'

 

Dissidents dissent from a legitimate scientific and medical bases as to the

causatives and curatives for 30-something previously known and unrelated 'AIDS'

clinically redefined illnesses, all of which occur in those diagnosed 'HIV'

non-specific antibody negative. So, besides the definition and diagnosis of what

is called 'AIDS' Dissidents are also challenging the accuracy and specifity of

the 'HIV' non-specific antibody tests to measure infection with any virus since

there are over 60+ known cross-reactors from pregnancy to the flu to

immunizations to hepatitis to transfusions and on and on. It is a clinical

conundrum or circular construct. TB + HIV = AIDS, whereas TB - HIV = TB and so

on and so forth on down the list of 30-something previously known and unrelated

illnesses. No one has ever had 'AIDS' or become ill or died of 'AIDS' though

persons [mis]diagnosed as such have become ill and/or died. It is not simply a

matter of semantics, that we are playing a name game. Most of those

[mis]diagnosed with 'AIDS' have no clinical symptoms except a non-specific

clinical marker of under 200 T-Cells, and hundreds of thousands of 'HIV'

positives in the US who are elligable clinically for AIDS drugs do not avail

them. Although some AIDS Dissidents offer an alternative theory or explanation

that 'HIV' positivity is a marker for a stressed immune system, there is

insufficient evidence this is always or usually a wake-up call rather than a

crank call for a poor health style. We therefore recommend all persons address

their health irrespective of 'HIV' or 'AIDS' labels.

 

We endorse a multi-factorial approach to immune suficiency and sustainability in

addressing the oxidative stressors including physical[malnutrition],

chemical[toxicologic], biological[dis-ease], psychological[chronic stress], and

spiritual[religious reconciling]-- of which 'HIV' non-specific, non-confirmatory

marker positivity is no reliable indicator of worthiness or wellness.

 

We are disbelievers in a '[sAME]SEXUAL=SIN=SICKNESS' mindset having lead for

many to the unquestioned acceptance of the 'HIV=AIDS=DEATH' paradigm. We endorse

proportionate access to alternative health care for the 50%-2/3 of those

'HIV/AIDS' [mis]diagnosed in the US which the HHS says are not in 'HIV'

Specialist Care and many of whom may not choose to access due to their health

care philosophy and practise. This is reasonable to assume since a significant

percentage of Americans share an alternative health care philosophy and

practise. We therefore endorse a model of competition within our health care

system to break up the current model of monopoly of conventional,

pharmaceutically-based medicine. And we vigerously oppose the enforcement of

medical correctness and scientific censorship within governmental and private

non-profit insititutions such as that enforced by the AIDS Industry and many

organizations within the LGBT community.

 

 

 

AIDS DISSIDENT SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY ANALYSIS

 

what is hiv?

 

No laboratory has ever obtained an undisputed sample of human immunodeficiency

virus (HIV), despite countless attempts. Most laboratories, clinics and medical

corporations have come to accept indirect signs, or 'markers', such as antibody

reactions, proteins, genetic fragments, 'virus-like' particles, enzymes - that

could suggest a virus but also other things - as proving the presence and

existence of an 'HIV'.

 

If such a virus were ever isolated by standards applicable until the late 1970s,

the expectations are that it would be a retrovirus - a concept of viruses

adopted in the early 1970s. The genetic code of a retrovirus would work

'backwards' - 'retro' - transforming RNA to DNA. Most retroviruses are known as

harmless passenger viruses a part of all of endogenous or naturally occuring

genetic make-up. 'HIV' has never been found in suficient quantities to kill

T-Cells and in fact there is no concensus even after 20+ years as to 'HIV's

cytotoxic or cell killing mechanism. For a decade, researchers thought cancer

was caused by a retrovirus. Professor Peter Duesberg, UC Berkeley, isolated the

first retrovirus and is a Father of Retrovirology says 'HIV' is a harmless

passenger virus that does not cause the syndrome known as 'AIDS.'

 

In 1984 some signs suggesting a possible new virus were detected in cell

cultures by the scientific teams of Frenchman Luc Montagnier in Paris, and

American Robert Gallo in Washington, who were trying to explain a single cause

for 'AIDS'. The French called their findings Lymphadenopathy Associated Virus

(LAV), the Americans called theirs Human T-cell Lymphotrophic Virus III

(HTLV-III). The US Government announced at a press conference in 1984 that a new

virus was " the probable cause of AIDS, " yet before any scientific papers

inviting peer scrutiny were published. When such papers appeared in Science some

weeks later, a dispute erupted between Montagnier and Gallo. Gallo was found

guilty of scientific misconduct by a Senate Ethics Committee, for

misappropriating material and photographs of 'virus- like' particles from the

French. Because of the financial stakes - Gallo and the US government applied

for a patent for tests for 'HIV' the day of the press conference - the matter

was

eventually solved only by a closed meeting between the scientists which

produced an official history of events, and a meeting between the US and French

Presidents.

 

However, neither Gallo nor Montagnier ever managed to purify samples of the

virus they claimed to have detected. Many scientists believe that without

fulfiling this traditional primary requirement of virus isolation, multiple

confusions at the molecular biological level are inevitable over what or whether

anything has actually been found. To this day, primary purification of 'HIV' has

never been achieved. The last attempts, published in 1997 in Virology, revealed

proteins and genetic fragments from microvesicles - sub-cell particles - but no

virus.

 

hiv antibody tests

 

INDEX OF ARTICLES, PAPERS

http://www.healtoronto.com/hivtest.html

 

 

 

 

Over the years of the HIV/AIDS theory, different types of tests have been used

to try to detect such a virus in patients. These have included (1) antibody

tests, which look for a reaction in a person's blood between their natural

antibodies and synthetic proteins said to belong to HIV, and (2) Polymerase

Chain Reaction - PCR - or 'viral load' genetic tests, which purport to use part

of the virus' genetic code to detect its presence.

 

All these tests are indirect, or surrogate. They do not claim to detect any

whole virus. Rather, they use markers to infer whether a virus might be present.

Unfortunately for the accuracy of these tests, these same markers can be found

in a variety of non-HIV situations. No HIV test of any kind has ever been

validated against the one measure that is not indirect - the gold standard:

physical virus isolation. This is because isolation of HIV by the previously

conventional standards of viral isolation has never been achieved, despite

numerous attempts.

 

Of the antibody tests for HIV, there are two main types - called ELISA, and

Western Blot. Neither was designed especially for HIV, but are examples of

laboratory methodologies used in many investigations. Around the world many

companies market their versions of the ELISA and Western Blot antibody tests for

HIV.

 

However, the uncertain, unvalidated nature of these tests is reflected in the

product literature supplied by their manufacturers.

 

A typical example for the ELISA reads:

 

" At present there is no recognised standard for establishing the presence or

absence of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human blood. " - Axsym System, Abbott

Laboratories

 

A typical example for the Western Blot reads:

 

" Do not use this kit as the sole basis of diagnosis of HIV-1 infection. " -

Epitope, Organon Teknika

 

 

 

 

Neither Isolation Nor Validation

 

Any scientist who declares that a genetic sequence, moreover a genetic sequence

arrived at by human concensus, represents a naturally occuring virus, has

compromised their scientific integrity. To further suggest that this genetic

sequence represents a unique, exogenous, sexually transmitted and indeed

pathogenic retrovirus is to enter the realms of pseudo-science. Without HIV

isolation all is mere speculation. Even if HIV were isolated and the proteins

tested for by the ELISA antibody test were actually proteins specific to HIV, an

antibody test would still not be accurate enough for determining actual viral

infection. Everyone tests HIV positive on ELISA if their serum is not diluted by

a factor of 400 because of non-specific antibodies which bind to any proteins.

 

 

" Of course we looked for it [HIV]... We saw some particles but they did not have

the morphology [shape] typical of retroviruses. ... I repeat we did not purify. "

~ Dr. Luc Montagnier, the " discoverer of HIV "

(see French transcript of quote from the interview

http://healtoronto.com/lmfrench.html , Did Luc Montagnier Discover HIV?

http://www.virusmyth.net/aids/data/dtinterviewlm.htm or video)

 

 

 

" No one believed we really had that many isolates... No one believed we really

meant that... "

~ Dr. Robert Gallo, also discovered " HIV "

(see Gallo Investigated http://healtoronto.com/galloindex.html )

 

 

 

'viral load' / PCR test

 

Polymerase Chain Reaction - PCR - or the 'viral load' test, purports to detect,

and quantify, blood-borne HIV in patients. However, the genetic fragments it

amplifies have never been proved to originate in HIV, or in any virus. The

accuracy of PCR viral load is estimated by leading doctors at plus or minus 300%

- i.e. a reading of 90,000 could be 30,000 or 270,000!

 

The PCR was not invented for HIV. Its Nobel Prizewinning inventor, Dr Kary

Mullis, calls the use of PCR in AIDS medicine, " a tragedy in the practice of

Western medicine " and a " viral load of crap. "

 

The uncertain unvalidated nature of the PCR for HIV is reflected in the product

literature supplied by manufacturers. A typical example reads:

 

" The Amplicor HIV-1 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. " -

Roche, Amplicor

 

VIRAL LOAD OF WHAT?

http://www.virusmyth.net/aids/index/kmullis.htm

 

 

 

 

 

t-cells

 

Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS theory, it has been suggested that a virus

kills a certain type of cell of the immune system - called T-cells, or CD4

cells. 'T' refers to the maturing of these cells in the gland of the Thymus,

after their birth in the bone marrow. CD4 is short for Cluster Differentiation

4, referring to a method by which scientists group subsets of these cells

according to protein markers on their surface.

 

In fact there has never been any proof that an HIV kills these cells, or indeed

that even when they seem in low numbers in a person's blood, cells have not

instead migrated out of the blood to bone marrow and elsewhere. Despite common

assumptions, even by doctors, CD4/T-cell counting remains a poor predictor of

wellness and illness. Since the Berlin World AIDS Conference of 1992

considerably less scientific importance has been attached to T-cell counting.

T-cell counts are naturally variable, within an individual over time, between

individuals, and between communities. The technology for counting T-cells is

accurate only to approximately plus or minus 100 cells. The cells sampled for

counting are taken from a person's peripheral blood, where it is widely

accepted, less than 10% of a healthy person's T-cells will ever be found.

 

CD-4 T-cells: What Do They Count For? [index of articles/papers]

http://healtoronto.com/cd4counts.html

 

 

 

 

what is aids?

 

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a medical diagnosis applied since

1984 in some branches of medicine and the wider public when a person perceived

as infected with a human immunodeficiency virus ('HIV') experiences one of 29

conditions. But all of the 29 conditions exist or occur in persons diagnosed

'HIV' antibody negative and are only redefined as 'AIDS' when someone tests

antibody positive.

 

'Acquired' specifies that the diagnosis does not apply to people with inherent

immune deficiencies. 'Immune Deficiency' is conventionally taken to be the

inability of a person's body to protect against illness. Syndrome is a group of

symptoms or conditions which seem to be more or less linked.

 

The growing list of conditions defined 'in the presence of HIV infection' since

1984 as AIDS, have already all been known for decades. Thus TB plus 'HIV' is

AIDS, TB without 'HIV' is TB. Cervical cancer plus 'HIV' is AIDS, without is

cervical cancer. Etc.

 

In the early 1980s the 'AIDS-indicator' conditions numbered two: pneumocystis

carinii pneumonia (thought to be caused by an opportunistic protozöon, now

thought to be fungal), and Kaposi's Sarcoma (a quasi-cancer of the skin and

other membranes, first reported in 1887). These two conditions were found

increasingly frequently in the early 1980s in the USA and Europe in men having

sex with men, and were hypothesised as resulting from infectious immune

deficiency, inferred from counting people's peripheral T-cells.

 

The syndrome was for a while classified as Gay Related Immune Deficiency (GRID).

The list of 'defining' conditions has increased substantially since 1984, though

the major risk groups for 'AIDS' in the West have remained men who have sex with

men, people with haemophilia (Haemophilia), and IV drug users (Drugs). Despite

early alarms, HIV/AIDS has never become a heterosexual epidemic in the West,

which does not mean it's a gay disease, but it has failed to meet the parameters

of the infectious model. 'HIV=AIDS' does not fulfill Koch's Postulates as none

of the apes injected with 'HIV' have developed 'AIDS' conditions.

 

The international CDC definition of AIDS is specifically founded on 'infection

with HIV', assumed or demonstrated. Thus by definition it is nearly impossible

to have 'AIDS' that is not 'correlative' with 'HIV', though it is widely

accepted that 'Immune Deficiency' can be 'Acquired' in a many ways. There are

also many well documented causes and treatments for all of the 29 'AIDS'

redefined conditons or for addressing aquired immune deficiency.

 

Between different regions of the globe, the criteria and means for arriving at

an AIDS diagnosis vary. There are at least seven varying official criteria for

diagnosing 'AIDS.'

 

In Africa, for example, the same official concept of AIDS can be found, but

since a meeting in 1985 in the city of Bangui, Cote d'Ivoire, the World Health

Organisation's Bangui AIDS Definition has allowed for diagnosis of AIDS in

Africa with no test performed for 'HIV', if a person experiences the relatively

common African symptoms of weight loss, cough, fever and diarrhoea for more than

a month.

 

HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS. Why would a virus infect 1% of the US

population and 30% of some Africa countries? Why would a virus cause different

symptoms depending on your age, gender, and location? Why hasn't 20 years worth

of research and billions of dollars spent created a vaccine or " cure " ? Why do

the pharmaceutical companies and the government censor the scientists, doctors

and laypeople that ask these questions and provide reasonable answers?

 

The infectious model does not work that way. See how 'HIV=AIDS' unfills Kochs'

Three Postulates of the Infectious Model of Disease. This is why there will

never be an 'AIDS' vaccine or cure for 'AIDS' or a manner to prevent

transmission of the alleged 'HIV.'

BEYOND FLAT EARTH MEDICINE

 

How popular consensus and the medical establishment have often stubbornly clung

to the wrong ideas, unable to think outside the box. When medically 'correct'

wasn't always.

 

 

 

A Brief History of Mismanaged Epidemics

[Disease]---[Popular Consensus]---[Actual Cause]

 

Scurvy------Contagious---Malnutrition: Vitamin C deficiency

 

Beri-beri---Contagious---Malnutrition: Thiamin deficiency

 

Maternal Fever---Non-contagious---Contagious: Unsanitary doctor practices

 

Influenza---Bacteria---Virus

 

Pellagra----Contagious---Malnutrition: Niacin deficiency

 

SMON(1950s-70s, Japan)---New Virus---Iatrogenic: Pharmaceutically induced

 

 

In science as in the law, the affirmative statement or theory bares the burden

of proof for establishing itself. Those who critique it's establishment in fact,

are not required to reprove or replace another theory of it's aetiology,

especially when immune dysfunction has a multi-factorially influenced set of

unrelated conditions, or according to Alternative Medicine, all illness/wellness

is on a continuum and the result of immune sufficiency or deficiency.

Alternative Medicine has long questioned the virus/germ mode or 'one-cause,

one-course' drug-based model or theory of illness which is confirmed by the work

of hundreds of AIDS Dissident Scientists, including Nobel Laureates, Members of

the National Academy of Sciences and pioneers in their fields. Many often

disconnect the alternative theories of diagnosis[PHILOSOPHY] from the

alternative therapies of treatment [PRACTISE]-- in how Alternative Medicine

differentially diagnoses the individual and treats using a holistic,

multi-factorial or 'many-causes, many-courses' approache to illness. They treat

the underlying causes of symptoms, not diagnosing/treating diseases and

certainly not diagnosing/treating syndromes, which are a 'catch-all' of

redefined classifications or catagories of conditions. And therefore,

Alternative Medicine does not generally recognize conventional disease

classifications.

 

" For disease, all experience shows, are adjectives, not noun substantives. "

" There are no specific diseases: there are [only] specific disease conditions

[or states of dis-ease]. "

 

Florence Nightingale (Nursing Pioneer, Disease Dissident)

 

 

Interesting that AIDS Apologists, or those who defend or defer to the

affirmative statement or new theory, in this case the 'HIV=AIDS' hypothesis,

often compare AIDS Dissidents with Flat Earthers, but Galileo was a Dissident,

the Flat Earthers were the mainstream scientific establishment.

 

There is a famous story about Galileo, that is relevant here, I think. Galileo

was in trouble with the Church authorities, for his observation of Jupiter's

moons, through his telescope. (The four moons that he saw are traditionally

called the " Galilean " moons, after their discoverer.) Anyway, he offered to let

an influential member of the Clergy look through the telescope at these moons,

so that said clergyman would see what

Galileo had seen. This pious man refused, saying that as long as he did not

look, his religious faith could remain intact.

 

Sadly, we are dealing with a kind of medical " church " , regarding the HIV theory;

its members do not want their faith shaken (or stirred! :-) )

 

Scurvy was thought to be transmitted by a microbe for 200 years even while

Dissident Scientists were arguing it was a Vitamin C deficiency. The implication

was that Seamen or Sailors engaged in 'buggary' were sexually transmissing a

'bug.' Homosexuality was deemed a psychiatric disorder by the medical and

scientific establishment until 1973, a

decade later the medical diagnosis of GRID-- Gay Related Immune Dysfunction was

described in the literature.

[Guest guest]

Hey All,

 

UPDATE ON THIS WEEKENDS' ACTION AT " POZ LIFE WEEKEND " IN SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA:

 

Well, they found out about the planned action as I hoped they would.

Ric Parish, formerly of LA Shanti and the PLUS seminar program, who

now says he is not supportive of LA Shanti, called me this morning

about the planned 'protest' er outreach for this weekend of The Poz

Life Group LA's POZ LIFE WEEKEND SEMINAR. He asked me what we wanted,

suggesting a place at the table, the literature table that is;) And

then offered to participate in co-organizing a future debate, for

which I offered encouragement, even while acknowledging the only

acceptable alternative to our planned action would be inclusion in

the program itself as a speaker or presenter. Well, he is actually

considering this and wants to meet with me today or tommorrow at the

offices of Being Alive, in the West Hollywood Park, which is the

fiscal sponsor of this new group.

 

I have had previous dealings with Being Alive and they are well aware

of me, having attended several board meetings with other Dissidents,

asking that an organization claiming to represent the 'HIV' positive

community be inclusive of those with a dissenting scientific and

alternative health care philosophy and practise, allowing us to have

our own support group. This was met with opposition ofcourse and

ultimately denied us. I suspect the reason for this new entity, The

Life Group LA, was due to some interperson[n]el conflicts within LA

Shanti. A new director took over LA Shanti a few years ago and that

may have had something to do with it. Also there is a lot of

competition for LA County's Office of AIDS Programs and Policy or

OAPP, whose director Chuck Henry, is being investigated for fraud as

of a June article in the LA TIMES reproduced below. When I talked to

LA Shanti, a PLUS program staff member told me there was negative

feedback from the community re: LA Shanti, though he was only on

staff for six months and didn't really understand why. I took the

opportunity to explain the growing movement of the 'HIV' disaffected--

as opposed to the PC buzz phrase " HIV affected[and infected] " and

sent him a detailed e-mail I often send out entitled: " HIV Denial or

Informed AIDS Dissent? " with a summary analysis and references/links.

I told him I don't have all the answers, but the consumer has a

health and human right to hear all the questions; to be fully

informed in their consent or dissent on a life and love-effecting

matter and he couldn't disagree with that.

 

Anyway, now it is even more critical that every available AIDS

Dissident in Southern California attempt to be there this weekend

whatever the outcome. We may be participants or 'protestors'[doing

non-violent outreach and education outside the event]. Those

interested in speaking may actually be given the opportunity. If not,

we will take the opportunity, as a matter of non-violent resistance.

 

Onward and Upward,

Kelly Jon Landis

No-Bid AIDS Contract Draws Dissent: County board votes 3 to 2 to

award funds to an agency that auditors are probing based on a tip.

 

Los Angeles Times - June 1, 2005

 

Jack Leonard, Times Staff Writer

 

Amid questions about the way Los Angeles County doles out grants to

combat AIDS, a divided Board of Supervisors approved a nearly

$200,000 contract Tuesday with a private nonprofit agency without

accepting competing bids.

 

The 3-2 vote comes at a tumultuous time for the county Office of AIDS

Programs and Policy, which recommended the award and is responsible

for granting $82.5 million in federal and state funding for education

and treatment programs.

 

On Friday, another major treatment provider sued the county, alleging

bias in the way those contracts are awarded. Two weeks ago, the

office's[OAPP] director[Chuck Henry] was removed after a county

investigation into allegations that he solicited contributions from

county contractors while working for Mayor-elect Antonio

Villaraigosa's campaign.

 

The contract approved Tuesday requires AltaMed, which operates

clinics in the eastern and southeastern parts of the county, to hire

an additional employee to encourage young, gay Latino men to seek

AIDS and HIV-infection prevention and treatment services.

 

Supervisors questioned the way the county AIDS office selected

AltaMed. County auditors are investigating a tip that AltaMed did not

adequately provide AIDS and HIV-related services under other county

contracts.

 

" You have an entity ... being awarded a contract under investigation

by our auditor-controller, " Supervisor Don Knabe said. " I just have a

very hard time on a sole-source situation like that making that

award. "

 

John Schunhoff, chief operating officer of the county Public Health

Agency, told supervisors that AltaMed was chosen because of its track

record in providing AIDS services to Latino men.

 

The four-year contract uses a federal grant to pay AltaMed. Schunhoff

said county health officials had only four weeks to submit a proposal

to Washington for the grant and thus didn't have time to seek other

bids.

 

Supervisor Gloria Molina, in whose district many of AltaMed's clinics

are located, asked county public health officials to avoid similar

problems in the future by allowing other nonprofit agencies the

opportunity to register themselves to be considered for such

contracts.

 

Nevertheless, she voted with Supervisors Zev Yaroslavsky and Yvonne

Brathwaite Burke to approve the contract. Knabe and Supervisor Mike

Antonovich cast the dissenting votes.

 

Last week, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed a lawsuit alleging

that the county had allowed the former director of the AIDS office,

Chuck Henry, to award contracts to agencies he had ties with and to

punish those with which he did not.

 

County health officials declined to comment on the suit but said they

awarded contracts fairly and based on merit.

 

In the lawsuit, foundation President Michael Weinstein accuses Henry

of retaliating against him - for complaints he made - with a series

of " arbitrary and punitive and other programmatic audits " and

attempts to reduce funding for the foundation.

 

Earlier this month, county auditors accused Weinstein's organization

of overcharging the county $348,000 for services provided to AIDS

patients at the group's Carl Bean House hospice in Los Angeles.

Dissident Action: Jan. 20-22 For Those Near LA

 

CALL TO ACTION: JAN. 20-22, 2006 West Hollywood, CA

 

In 2001, I went to a training session for 'HIV/AIDS' support group

facilitators lead by LA Shanti, fully intending, as a matter of non-

violent resistance to the AIDS Industry propaganda, to start a

support group for those wanting to explore, in a safe-place,

dissenting scientific and alternative medical challenges to

the 'HIV/AIDS' theory or model. Afterall, it's not very 'supportive'

to attend a group where these issues are considered already settled

and 'undeniable.'

 

However, after the first full day of a two-weekend training program

in West Hollywood, whereupon I challenged information that was being

presented during an HIV 101 session, afterwhich I was asked to leave.

The following weekend I invited a few other AIDS Dissidents to come

with me and stand near the exits/entrances to provide AIDS

alternative resources and information and to let the other

participants know I had been banned and why. I consider it to have

been a rather successful dissident non-violent action, planting many

seeds and distributing literature while having a number of productive

conversations. As a result of this action, the PLUS [Positive Living

for US] seminars are held in " undisclosed locations " though the

present location of the following event has been made known to me.

Now, another entity, The Life Group LA, is organizing a similiar

event, POZ LIFE WEEKEND SEMINAR, with many of the same cast of

characters, LA Shanti, Being Alive LA, etc. for this very weekend:

Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday, January 20-22, 2006

in West Hollywood, California. I am organizing an educational

outreach effort to reach those who may have never heard the AIDS

Dissident message.

 

This CALL TO ACTION is for those in the Southern California area who

are free anytime from Friday evening through Saturday and Sunday.

Please call me as soon as possible to let me know of your interest

and willingness to take this most bold action. Our actions will all

be legal and non-violent, though will likely get a bit heated at

times. This is a semi-annual event and the opportunity has just

presented itself, so I hope you will thoughtfully consider

participating.
