HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) has never been proven to be the cause of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). It is interesting to note that many people who test positive for HIV never develop AIDS. When someone dies of any disease and they are HIV positive, the cause of their death is recorded as being from AIDS. However, in many of the AIDS-related deaths, the individuals are actually HIV negative.

AIDS in America is definitely related to taking drugs, either recreational or pharmaceutical. There are many doctors and scientists in America and Europe who have written and studied this extensively, but their works are rarely available in the mainstream.

AIDS has become another disease, like cancer, that makes a lot of money for some people. There are books available that present facts which dispute the idea of an epidemic of AIDS, or that there is even such a disease. A lot of diseases are now put under the AIDS umbrella if the patient happens to be HIV positive. Though we often hear the term "AIDS virus," there is no such thing. All the HIV test does is indicate if the person has come into contact with the HIV virus; if they have, the body sends out antibodies. This is what HIV positive means: that an individual has come into contact with the human immunodeficiency virus and successfully put out antibodies.

Some good books on "the other side" of the subject include:

AIDS (The Good News Is HIV Doesn't Cause It. The Bad News Is Recreational Drugs And Medical Treatments Like AZT Do.) by Peter Duesberg, Ph.D. and John Yiamouyianniss, Ph.D. (Health Action Press, 1995)

Deadly Deception: The Proof That Sex And HIV Absolutely Do Not Cause AIDS by Robert E. Willner, M.D., Ph.D. (Thomas Tew, 1994)

A group of Nobel prize-winning scientists have put out information under the name of their organization called "Rethinking AIDS." (See their website at www.virusmyth.com/aids/frames/frindex.htm.)

AIDS is not an "epidemic" in America. In fact, more people die in America each year from cancer, heart disease and other diseases than AIDS. From the information I have read, deaths are declining each year from this so-called disease and folks are living longer who are diagnosed HIV positive (especially if they don't take AZT, which was once used for cancer but discontinued when doctors found out patients were dying from the drug before they could die from the cancer!).

I am not a doctor or scientist. I am just passing on information I have studied. Folks should really investigate this for themselves. If you are interested, I think you will be surprised at what you will find.
