AIDS Inc. -- Part 2
|
|
===================
|
|
There was such a response to the previous CN on the banning in
|
|
the United States of the book *Why We Will Never Win the War on
|
|
AIDS* by Bryan Ellison and Peter Duesberg, that I thought I would
|
|
re-post the following. It is my synopsis of Jon Rappoport's book,
|
|
*AIDS Inc.* Because Rappoport covers Dr. Duesberg's challenge to
|
|
official AIDS dogma, they may be banning his book next!

|
|
|
|
During World War II, Nazi scientists developed a chemical weapon
|
|
known as parathion. "After minor alteration, it became a
|
|
pesticide... 60 times more toxic to humans than DDT. It is widely
|
|
distributed in the Third World."
|
|
|
|
"Phosvel, a pesticide outlawed in the U.S., was marketed in the
|
|
Third World in the 1970s, and may still be trading in Latin
|
|
America. Its victims are called 'zombies.' They die slowly and
|
|
agonizingly, with paralysis and asphyxiation coming at the end.
|
|
Field workers who suffer weight loss and an increasing inability
|
|
to move should not be assumed, by researchers a continent away,
|
|
to be suffering from a virus."
|
|
|
|
The author affirms that, by and large, the most toxic pesticides
|
|
are used in the Third World. What is more, they are used
|
|
routinely and with little regard for safety.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider the class of pesticides called organophosphates. Here is
|
|
a list of symptoms which can be caused by organophosphates:
|
|
|
|
Headache, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, excessive
|
|
sweating, difficulties walking, diarrhea, many skin
|
|
problems, delayed nerve disease.
|
|
|
|
"*Headache* is now listed by the World Health Organization as a
|
|
significant symptom of 'early HIV disease.' Many researchers
|
|
state that HIV causes a *mild flu-like episode* soon after
|
|
exposure. *Night sweats* are taken as a sign of Pre-AIDS. *Leg
|
|
weakness* is considered an early symptom of AIDS dementia.
|
|
*Diarrhea* can be a sign of pre-AIDS and also a major symptom of
|
|
AIDS in the Third World. AIDS patients often present *numerous
|
|
skin rashes and skin problems.* *Nerve disease* is said to be
|
|
the reason for AIDS dementia."
|
|
|
|
"In other words, the symptoms of exposure to organophosphates
|
|
reads like listed symptoms for AIDS."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider also the large number of dangerous drugs which are
|
|
routinely dumped on the Third World by Western pharmaceutical
|
|
firms. "These drugs can produce immunosuppression-leading-to-
|
|
opportunistic-infections -- the pattern ascribed to AIDS. Yet
|
|
they are completely written out of the AIDS disease-equation by
|
|
U.S. federal health agencies."
|
|
|
|
For example, one West German firm (Hoechst) makes a pain-killer
|
|
which is sold without prescription in Brazil and throughout
|
|
Africa. "It can also cause anemia -- and underlying immune
|
|
suppression -- and that is why it is banned in the U.S."
|
|
|
|
"One certainly can't ignore the infant formula deaths either, in
|
|
which diarrhea and malnutrition [note: Malnutrition is, by far,
|
|
the most common cause of immune suppression in the world.] have
|
|
been linked to infant-preparations manufactured by Abbott,
|
|
American Home Products, Nestle, and Bristol-Meyers."
|
|
|
|
All of these symptoms are often mistakenly grouped under the
|
|
heading AIDS. In "AIDS, a Global Perspective," released by the
|
|
World Health Organization, the authors note "the elimination of
|
|
the requirement of the absence of other causes of
|
|
immunodeficiency" for the diagnosis of AIDS. In other words, it
|
|
is now acceptable to overlook any missing factors and just
|
|
diagnose whatever it is as "AIDS."
|
|
|
|
"This amazing WHO [World Health Organization] guideline implies
|
|
that from now on, all human immunosuppression will be laid at the
|
|
door of the HIV virus."
|
|
|
|
.................................................................
|
|
|
|
An article appearing on page 1 of the December 21, 1987 issue of
|
|
the *New York Times* entitled "Doctors Stretch Rules on AIDS
|
|
Drugs" details how doctors have begun prescribing AZT for their
|
|
patients who have no symptoms of AIDS.
|
|
|
|
In September, 1987, "William Hazeltine, chief of pharmacology at
|
|
the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, suggested an even
|
|
wider possible use for AZT. Give it to people considered at high-
|
|
risk for AIDS even though they *don't* test positive for HIV."
|
|
|
|
In other words, Hazeltine was recommending the use of AZT as a
|
|
preventative step. "For prevention, use a drug, AZT, which
|
|
damages bone marrow, the place where raw material for immune-
|
|
cells are turned out; a drug which causes severe anemia."
|
|
|
|
The author shows that, in spite of FDA approval of AZT, there is
|
|
much room for doubt as to the safety or usefulness of the drug.
|
|
For example, he cites molecular biologist Peter Duesberg: "AZT is
|
|
very, very destructive to healthy cells. No doubt it's a
|
|
dangerous drug."
|
|
|
|
In October, 1987, in an article in *New York Native*, John
|
|
Lauritsen reviewed the FDA trial of AZT. In his article, he cites
|
|
the opinion of Martin Delaney of San Francisco's Project Inform
|
|
regarding the FDA trials of AZT: "The multi-center clinical
|
|
trials of AZT are perhaps the sloppiest and most poorly
|
|
controlled trials ever to serve as the basis for an FDA drug
|
|
licensing approval... causes of death (among volunteers) were
|
|
never verified. Despite this and a frightening record of
|
|
toxicity, the FDA approved AZT in record time, granting a
|
|
treatment (recommendation) in less than five days and full
|
|
pharmaceutical licensing in less than six months."
|
|
|
|
Other AZT studies which had been done previously showed a
|
|
significantly *higher* death rate for volunteers ill with AIDS
|
|
*who had taken AZT*.
|
|
|
|
"Harry Chernov, an FDA analyst who looked over the
|
|
pharmacological data on AZT recommended that the drug not be
|
|
approved for release. Nevertheless, the drug was released, and it
|
|
is now being prescribed loosely by many physicians for their
|
|
patients who have no symptoms."
|
|
|
|
"AZT attacks the immune-cells where it is speculated that HIV is
|
|
doing damage. Although AZT tends slightly to favor, as a target,
|
|
viruses to healthy cells, in practice it kills many healthy
|
|
immune-cells."
|
|
|
|
Page one of the December 21, 1987, *New York Times* warns of the
|
|
dangers of AZT and of its overuse: "Defying official
|
|
recommendations, a growing number of doctors who treat carriers
|
|
of the AIDS virus are prescribing a powerful, potentially toxic
|
|
drug even before patients develop serious signs of the disease."
|
|
|
|
.................................................................
|
|
|
|
"Malnutrition is recognized as the single largest source of
|
|
immune-suppression in the world."
|
|
|
|
In the Third World, three symptoms are central to a definition of
|
|
AIDS: 1) weight-loss of 10% or more, 2) chronic diarrhea, and 3)
|
|
chronic fever. But these three symptoms are *also* signs of
|
|
chronic malnutrition.
|
|
|
|
So there is a fairly good chance that misdiagnoses have occurred.
|
|
This is underlined by a paper published in the journal *Nutrition
|
|
and Cancer* (1985, vol. 7, p. 85-91), which states "Based on
|
|
observations of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia infections in
|
|
malnourished children in Haiti, [one researcher] proposed that
|
|
malnutrition with concomitant herpes virus infection could give
|
|
rise to symptoms that are indistinguishable from AIDS."
|
|
|
|
One of the current myths surrounding AIDS is that it is just
|
|
another of Nature's plagues which serves to put a stop to
|
|
overpopulation. "A respected virologist told me exactly this
|
|
several months ago. For him, there was really nothing one could
|
|
do about AIDS except watch it decimate people and then, by
|
|
itself, die out."
|
|
|
|
However, this is just "another thread in the logic that starts
|
|
with the assumption that AIDS is one thing around the world, from
|
|
one cause... The truth is, AIDS is not a single illness, it is an
|
|
international operation, a business, a bureacracy. It is, in the
|
|
Third World, a way of substituting harmful medical drugs for what
|
|
is needed: food."
|
|
|
|
"It is also easier to dump corrosive medical drugs and pesticides
|
|
on the Third World than to face up to their widening toxic effect
|
|
on people. Easier to call their symptoms AIDS."
|
|
|
|
[B.R. The unwritten codes of the wolf-pack of "professionals"
|
|
discourage independent thought.] Suppose you are a member of one
|
|
of these gangs of "scientists" and it begins to dawn on you that
|
|
what you had thought was completely ascribable to "AIDS" was in
|
|
reality attributable to a multiplicity of factors? Suppose that
|
|
you find "a combination of drugs, pesticides, starvation, older
|
|
diseases, and other environmental factors, *all* capable of
|
|
causing immunosuppression, all capable of producing the symptoms
|
|
of what is called AIDS? What happens is, if you want to satisfy
|
|
your medical peers, if you want to win research grant monies, you
|
|
overlook the anomalies and say it's all AIDS. If you don't, you
|
|
admit the picture is diverse and confused. You face facts. You
|
|
lose grants."
|
|
|
|
|
|
The author includes part of an interview with former senior White
|
|
House policy analyst Jim Warner. Some interesting excerpts from
|
|
that interview include the following:
|
|
|
|
WARNER: The government really hasn't fulfilled its role in
|
|
providing good information [on AIDS]. We just may not know
|
|
enough. With AIDS, we're dealing with a syndrome, not a disease.
|
|
We may see a patient who has a genetic defect that's causing his
|
|
immune deficiency [instead of HIV being the causative agent]. I'm
|
|
not satisfied we know all we think we do, by any means.
|
|
|
|
INTERVIEWER: Several university scientists I've spoken with have
|
|
-- off the record -- criticized what they call "HIV dogma." They
|
|
feel if they speak out against the rush to judgement for HIV as
|
|
the cause of AIDS they may lose money. Grants begin with the
|
|
assumption that HIV has been proven as the agent of the disease.
|
|
|
|
WARNER: I'm of a mind that if no other lessons should be required
|
|
of any university science curriculum, there should be a good
|
|
survey course in philosophy and a grounding in logic. I'm
|
|
appalled at the conceit and arrogance [of certain scientists].
|
|
|
|
INTERVIEWER: Suppose proof emerged that HIV is not the AIDS
|
|
virus. How difficult would it be to alter the course of research?
|
|
|
|
WARNER: It's very difficult to change people's minds. It's not
|
|
impossible, but there is a head of steam built up.
|
|
|
|
INTERVIEWER: Peter Duesberg, a distinguished molecular biologist
|
|
at Berkeley, has said that HIV does not cause AIDS. Have you
|
|
asked people at NIH [National Institute of Health] what they
|
|
think, specifically, of his arguments?
|
|
|
|
WARNER: Yes. I've been told that Peter Duesberg's refutation of
|
|
HIV has been discounted by the scientific community. I was given
|
|
no explanation as to why. I was very offended. No evidence was
|
|
presented to me. Just that Duesberg had been "discounted." That's
|
|
absurd. It's not a scientific response to dismiss Duesberg as a
|
|
crank.
