Dr. Leo Rebello's Message for World AIDS Day,
December 1, 2004
11/26/2004 -- World AIDS "Racket" Day is celebrated on December
1, and the same lies are repeated ad nauseam. Namely,
HIV=AIDS=ARV
Here are my picks for the 10 AIDS myths:
From AIDS Scare to AIDS Care:
The 10 Top Ten AIDS Myths
The First Myth: AIDS is a new disease.
It is not. It is rebranding of pre-existing
conditions. AIDS symptoms are also found in people NOT
HIV-positive.
The Second Myth: HIV alone causes AIDS.
AIDS symptoms occur without HIV. Not one
controlled study has isolated HIV as the cause of AIDS symptoms.
The Third Myth: HIV is an infectious virus.
HIV is unproven as infectious as defined by Koch's
rules.
The Fourth Myth: HIV infects you sexually.
HIV has spread in heterosexuals much too slowly for
it to be considered an epidemic. For example: All prostitutes
should by now have become infected!
The Fifth Myth: AIDS is killing Gays.
Gay "AIDS" is actually due to illegal drugs such as
poppers, crack, and heroin, and deadly prescription drugs such as
Bactrim and AZT.
The Sixth Myth: Africa is ravaged by AIDS.
African AIDS is inferred from symptoms rather than
tests. Malnutrition (high cortisol) causes AIDS.
Tuberculosis is often diagnosed as being AIDS.
The Seventh Myth: AIDS is an incurable disease.
AIDS can be cured by avoiding toxic drugs, through
good nutrition, certain alternative therapies, and a healthy
lifestyle.
The Eighth Myth: You can test for HIV infection.
There are about 70 reasons for a false-positive HIV
test. These tests are unreliable, and they are not
standardized.
The Ninth Myth: AZT is anti-viral against HIV.
AZT is NOT metabolized to an anti-viral form in
cells. It damages DNA activities throughout the body.
Avoid this poison.
The Tenth Myth: Cocktail drugs stop HIV.
They mask some symptoms, but they have failed.
These drugs cripple, disfigure, and leave many users disabled.
AIDS deaths are mainly due to these drugs.
