AIDS: The Great Lie of Medicine


AIDS: The Greatest Deadly Lie in the History of Medicine

December 11, 2009
Pravda

Mankind is facing a new threat of swine flu. A few years earlier, bird flu and SARS caused panic all over the world. AIDS has been on the top of the list of “scary” diseases for thirty years.

Where are millions of victims of SARS and bird flu? Where is deserted Africa allegedly doomed for total extinction from AIDS? Gor Shirdel, M.D. of Irish descent who is currently practicing in Kiev, has cured two patients from AIDS.

“I don’t believe that AIDS is incurable. Weak immune system is an issue that has been around for at least 200 years. It can be solved. Viruses found in the blood of those with AIDS is not the cause of the disease, it’s a consequence of immunodeficiency.

"The world thinks AIDS is incurable because two doctors, an American Robert Gallo and a Frenchman Luke Montanye, managed to convince the world in the early 1980s that AIDS is caused by "human immune deficiency virus" (HIV). Montanye even received a Nobel Prize for his “discovery.” Yet, they cannot find this virus in the human body. AIDS patients are diagnosed through the tests that register antibodies in blood, not HIV.

"These antibodies are developed in blood serum when any virus or bacteria enters the body. The same happens in case of flu, or any other illness or a shot, etc. When antibodies are found in the blood serum, it does not mean that there is a virus in the blood. Positive HIV tests shock patients because proponents of infectious AIDS convinced everyone that an HIV-positive patient will sooner or later die, and that this disease is incurable.

"I think this is the result of purposeful policy of the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention whose annual budget for combating AIDS amounts to two billion dollars.

"However, there are over six thousand outstanding doctors and scientists in the world who voice their arguments against the opinion that AIDS is incurable. They include Peter Duesberg, PhD., the author of “Inventing the AIDS Virus,” Kary Mullis, a biochemist and Novel laureate, and Robert Willner, the author of “Deadly Deception.”

"In 1993, Willner jabbed his finger with blood he said was from an HIV-infected patient and did not get infected. He said he’s done it to put the end to the greatest deadly lie in the history of medicine.

"Statistics is stronger than lies. If the published numbers were true, Africa should have become barren by now. Yet, its population exceeds one billion people. The population of South African Republic that has the most cases of AIDS in the world should have declined, but it grew 1.7 times within the period from 1986 to 1999.

"Immunodeficiency does exist. We do not argue with it. When patients with immunodeficiency are exposed to viruses and bacteria, they die from tuberculosis, pneumonia, exhaustion, and salmonella. AIDS is associated with dozens of diseases that are not linked to it. Not a single person died from AIDS itself. Drug addicts die from drugs that ruin their immune systems. They also die from certain medications prescribed for the patients diagnosed with AIDS. According to an estimate of Peter Duesberg, 10 to 50 thousand people have died from such medications.

"AIDS epidemic that allegedly threatens the world is a profitable business project developed by the largest pharmaceutical companies and corrupted officials of international medical organizations," the scientist said.

Different opinion

Vladimir Nikolaenko, M. D., thinks that doctors all over the world cannot be fooled into treating a made-up disease. “Blood tests are used for AIDS diagnostics. If there is no disease, then what affects the results? Also, patients who take anti-viral medications get stabilized. It would not happen if there were no disease.

"As of the end of October 2009, there were 516,167 HIV-positive people in Russia, 4,474 of them are children. Obviously, it does not mean that all of them will develop AIDS, but we have to be prepared to provide them with adequate treatment if it does happen.

"What if we declare that AIDS has never existed? The government will stop allocating funds to combat AIDS. Millions will be helpless before the scary disease. Do we have a right to sentence them to death? The answer is obvious. As long as the existence of AIDS has not been denied 100%, doctors must treat their patients and provide them with modern medications to sustain their lives."

    Scientific theories are constantely changing and the reason why most theories gain credibility is that they have withstood testing and scrutiny by the scientific community and beyond. However, refusing to accept an overwhelming body of scientific evidence supporting the transmission and causative role of HIV in AIDS I would argue is not only frivilous, but irresponsible.

    First, the author denies that HIV can be detected directly in humans: "Yet, they cannot find this virus in the human body. AIDS patients are diagnosed through the tests that register antibodies in blood, not HIV." Detecting antibodies is a commonly used diagnostic tool for many different immune-mediated conditions. But besides this, the viral load (or the amount of RNA, the genetic material that provides the template for making more viruses) of the HIV virus is tested every day. Thus physicians not only can determine the presence of HIV in a patient's blood, but studies have shone that viral load correlates with the velocity of immune decline in AIDS patients.

    "Positive HIV tests shock patients because proponents of infectious AIDS convinced everyone that an HIV-positive patient will sooner or later die, and that this disease is incurable." Having a positive HIV test or being diagnosed with AIDS is undoubtedly a life changing event, but it is a myth that it is a death sentence. With a whole arsenal of new antiretroviral medications, it is possible for patients to lead long and healthy lives. The side effects of many of the newest drugs are vastly decreased compared to the first and second generation medications. The price and availability of said treatments are valid points of contention, but it is clear that patients can live with AIDS as with a chronic disease.

    "Not a single person died from AIDS itself." This I see as incorrect logic. It is true that opportinistic infections are what actually kill AIDS patients, but they would not be getting these types of infections or cancers at all if it weren't for their HIV-induced immunodeficiency.

    "AIDS epidemic that allegedly threatens the world is a profitable business project developed by the largest pharmaceutical companies and corrupted officials of international medical organizations," the scientist said." Whether or not a scientific or medical situation has been corrupted or exploited by business interests is a valid concern, but has no bearing on whether AIDS is a real and significant medical threat to large portions of the world population.

    I won't respond to every piece of misinformation presented. I do believe that the real danger in such points of view is that they might possibly vindicate certain behaviors which put people at risk for catching a whole host of transmissible diseases. Whether or not you buy that HIV causes the immunodeficient state of AIDS, it should seem intuitive that avoiding risky behaviors should be a good thing. Using safe sex practices, not sharing intravenous paraphernalia, etc. can and should be employed by at-risk individuals to help protect themselves.

    By no means do I make any assumptions or implications about the editor of this blog. I simply aim to address what appears to me to be potentially misleading information that could lead people to make poorer choices about risk-taking behaviors and their health. Thank you.

    May Christ through the prayers of the Theotokos and the Holy Unmercenaries grant us healing of soul and body, and enlightenment to do His will!

    Thanks for your insights Anonymous 1. I am only making people aware of an article and a debate I did not write but find interesting. I post things on subjects that interest me and that I am studying, and not that I neccessarily always endorse whole-heartedly.
