Just to reiterate the most important point: AIDS is a surveillance tool that has been used to track and record 29 previously known illnesses when they appear in people who have tested positive for antibodies associated with HIV. AIDS is not a new disease. It is a name or designation for these 29 familiar diseases.
The AIDS virus hypothesis supposes that the health problems renamed AIDS develop as a result of infection with HIV. However, every AIDS indicator disease occurs among people who test HIV ne lusive to those who test positive, and all AIDS diseases existed before the adoption of the name "AIDS."
AIDS is said to be an epidemic, and will soon be a worldwide pandemic.
Actually, if AIDS reached epidemic proportions, it was only at its worst in 1994.
The epidemic year 1994 was also the year when the Third World was forced to become guinea pig to test vaccines made by the companies Genentech and Biocine. These were large-scale trials of experimental HIV vaccines that the US had rejected.
Below are the HIV/AIDS Risk Groups according to the CDC:
CDC HIV Transmission Categories
• Men who have Sex with Men (MSM)
• Injection Drug Use (IDU), which includes injecting illicit or non-prescribed drugs
• MSM+IDU, which includes men who have sex with men and also inject drugs
• Hemophilia/coagulation disorder
• Heterosexual contact with a high-risk or infected individual
• Blood, blood component, or transplant recipient
Some questions arise from review of related literature:
• Why are more than 75% of Americans confined to two risk groups?
• Why are more than 75% of AIDS cases in the U.S. found among males?
• If AIDS is a widespread health risk, why has it not spread into the general population?
• Since health care workers are at high risk in any epidemic, why is there a comparatively insignificant number of cases of occupational AIDS among health care workers after nearly two decades of AIDS?
• If AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease (STD), why do cases of syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea far outnumber AIDS?
• Since female prostitutes are at high risk for all STDs, why are they not a risk group for AIDS?
If It's Not HIV, What Can Cause AIDS?
Immune deficiency can be acquired by several risk factors that are not infectious or transmitted through blood or blood products. The following factors are widely recognized causes of immune suppression, compromised health, and opportunistic infections, as documented in the medical literature for several decades. Chronic, habitual and multiple exposures to these risks can cause the group of symptoms called AIDS. In fact, there is no case of AIDS described in the medical literature without one or more of these health risk factors.
Physical Risk Factors such as Malnutrition and Chronic Lack of Sleep
• Malnutrition has been the most prevalent cause of immune deficiency diseases throughout the world, particularly in developing regions such as Africa where common illnesses like measles run rampant and take millions of lives.
• Medical literature notes that malnutrition and infection are invariably linked, as one condition aggravates the other.
• Hunger and endemic disease are familiar problems in those countries around the globe thought to be under siege from AIDS.
• Intrauterine malnutrition occurs when expectant mothers are improperly nourished, and can result in prolonged, sometimes lifelong, immune suppression.
• Poverty, crowded living conditions, and unclean water promote endemic disease and compromised health.
• The populations in many developing regions of the world are devastated by rampant infections with common microbes that pose little or no health threat to people in industrialized nations.
• Infections due to malnutrition immunodeficiency are the world's leading causes of infant and child death.
• People who make habitual and prolonged use of certain drugs like methamphetamines, heroin, and crack cocaine often suffer from malnutrition and chronic lack of sleep.
Chemical Risk Factors
• Immune-compromising chemicals include pharmaceutical drugs such as AZT and other cancer chemotherapy compounds, protease inhibitors, antibiotics and steroids, and recreational drugs such as cocaine, crack, heroin, nitrites (poppers), and methamphetamines (meth, crystal, speed).
• Chemotherapy targets and destroys the bone marrow cells from which all immune cells derive. They also kill fully formed immune cells in addition to killing B cells and red blood cells.
• Chemotherapy destroys the digestive system by killing the cells that compose the inner lining of the digestive tract which interferes with the body's ability to absorb and digest nutrients, causing malnutrition.
• Even when used very briefly, chemotherapy suppresses normal immune function, increases susceptibility to a variety of opportunistic infections, and can cause life-threatening anemia and diarrhea. AZT, ddI, ddC, D4T and 3TC are all chemotherapy compounds used as antiviral AIDS treatments.
• Protease inhibitors cause impaired liver function and liver failure (the liver removes disease-causing toxins from the body) in addition to kidney failure, dangerously high cholesterol levels, diarrhea, and other health-compromising effects.
• Steroids are a known cause of immune deficiency often prescribed to AIDS patients to counteract the muscle wasting caused by AZT.
• Antibiotics, especially when used habitually, can cause yeast infection and diarrhea, two conditions that can lead to malnutrition.
• Septra and Bactrim are sulfonamide antibiotics commonly prescribed for continuous, prophylactic or preventative use by HIV positives. These drugs are leftover from the days before penicillin. They do not target invading microbes as narrowly as modern antibiotics, and are notorious for their side effects. Both cause nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, bone marrow destruction, rashes, fever, hepatitis, and anemia by interfering with the production of red blood cells.
• The immunosuppressive effects of recreational drug abuse are well-documented in medical literature dating back to the turn of the century. They include pneumonias, mouth sores, fevers, endocarditis, bacterial infections, and night sweats – all conditions now associated with AIDS.
• Amphetamine drugs suppress the appetite, causing chronic users to suffer from malnutrition. Many habitual users of heroin and crack do not provide themselves with adequate food, sleep, shelter, and healthcare.
• Prolonged exposure to common chemical toxins such as insecticides and herbicides can also impair immune function.
Biological Risk Factors
• These risks include multiple exposures to and/or chronic infections with syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and other venereal diseases, hepatitis, tuberculosis, malaria, fungal diseases, amoebas and parasites such as giardia, bacterial infections such as staph and E coli, chronic bowel infections, blood transfusions, and the use of blood products.
• In addition to the damaging effects of recurrent infections, many of the pharmaceuticals used as treatment have adverse effects on immune function.
• Factor VIII (the blood clotting agent used by hemophiliacs) and blood transfusions are immune suppressive and leave patients vulnerable to infection. Due to the serious conditions for which transfusions are necessary and the deleterious effects they have on the immune system, half of all HIV negative transfusion recipients die within a year of receiving a transfusion.
How These Risk Factors Apply to the Top AIDS Risk Groups
Men Who Have Sex With Men
Nitrites, more commonly known as poppers, are immune-suppressive, carcinogenic drugs chronically used by some gay men. At one time, 95% of gay men in major urban areas like Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco reported using poppers. Nitrite use correlates with Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma – two AIDS-defining cancers found almost exclusively in this risk group. In 1981 when AIDS was first identified, half of all AIDS diagnoses were for KS.
In the only studies that asked gay men with AIDS about recreational drugs, 93% to 100% of participants acknowledged using cocaine, crack cocaine, poppers, heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamines like speed and crystal, and/or Special K (an animal tranquilizer).
Combinations of parasitic infections that include amebiasis and giardiasis along with rectal infections, syphilis, and gonorrhea can result in acute diarrhea which in turn causes malabsorption and malnutrition, or wasting. This collection of infections and resultant problems was commonly known as Gay Bowel Syndrome in the years before AIDS.
Injection Drug Users
The majority of people who initially claim intimate contact with IV drug users as their only risk later acknowledge taking drugs themselves. Considering only injection drug use as a high risk activity for AIDS disregards the immune suppressive effects brought about by habitual use of non-injected street drugs as well as the many health-compromising factors that can accompany the regular, long-term use of illicit chemicals. The emphasis on sharing needles over the damaging effects of the narcotics injected with the needles distorts our view of immune dysfunction and prevents application of practical solutions to the health problems common to this risk group.
Prolonged, habitual consumption of drugs such as heroin, crack, speed, and cocaine, whether taken by injection or other means, is well-known to disable immune function. Chronic use of these drugs is documented to bring about many conditions synonymous with AIDS including pneumonias, tuberculosis, mouth sores, fevers, night sweats, bacterial infections, and endocarditis.
Transfusion Recipients and Hemophiliacs
Factor VIII, the blood clotting treatment used by hemophiliacs, is itself immune suppressive. Hemophilia is a life-threatening condition in people with or without an HIV positive diagnosis. Ryan White, the young HIV positive hemophiliac who became famous as an AIDS victim, actually died of common complications attributed to hemophilia (internal bleeding and liver failure), not of illnesses that define AIDS.
Blood transfusions suppress the immune system. Medical experts note that higher amounts of blood transfusions among hospitalized patients correlate with higher death rates.
Factor VIII and blood transfusions can cause positive results on HIV antibody tests in persons never exposed to HIV by triggering the production of antibodies that react with the nonspecific proteins used in the HIV antibody test.
Tempering the Fear
The devastating flu epidemic of 1918 took the lives of 20 million people worldwide in a single year. 20 years after the announcement of a “new” disease called AIDS in the early 1980s, diagnosed cases of AIDS throughout the world only totaled less than 2 million. Many of those remained alive and well.
AIDS conjures up the image of huge numbers. Unlike cancer and most other conditions, AIDS reports typically use cumulative totals. In other words, a current year's cases or fatalities are added to the sum total of all AIDS diagnoses or deaths that have ever occurred, automatically creating a larger figure and the impression that AIDS constantly rises.
Also, estimates and projections are frequently used in place of actual AIDS numbers. For example, the 1999 United Nations AIDS Report estimates that 2.5 million people throughout the world died of AIDS in 1998, while the November 1999 World Health Organization (WHO) Weekly Epidemiological Record reports that only 2.2 million people worldwide have ever received a diagnosis of AIDS. The UN estimate is widely promoted while the actual WHO case count is rarely publicized.
All information stated above comes from the decades-long debates on the validity of the HIV hypothesis. Simply google “myth of AIDS” and find out for yourself the many points and issues aimed at disclosing the hoax.
