AIDS issues and support

Can anyone tell me when they started to look at the cd4-cells of HIVpos? Who
else get their cd4cells evaluated? When did they start to use the Western
Blot test? What is the difference of this and ELISA? I am new infected.

that is a bunch of crap..

    i wish that there were a cure so that my friend can get cured and
the other people in this world can get cured.. I pray to god that they f
ind a cure soon…

You might post the lot to this group and also misc.health.alternative, and
misc.health.aids, including the full abstract of the Italian one. This paper
makes interesting reading, particularly in light of the fact that there have
been some anti-HIV/AIDS theory people, particularly Duesberg, who claims
that the Hep C virus does not really exist at all, but is merely an idea was
"invented" by the drug companies.

But the Italian study is close to being a Koch-postulate experimental test
for humans. Here are five women who turn up with the same strain of hep C,
and their only link with each other is that they all were operated on in the
AM of Jan 9, 1998 at one particular surgical center in Italy, where women #1
was the first patient of the AM, and she was known to be hep C positive
already. And all five women shared an injection from the same multidose
propofol anesthetic vial. Golly.

steroid would be reduced regularly.

Researchers show V-1 Immunitor is good news for HIV patients

Business Day Editorial November 19, 2002

Recently, the world’s famous HIV research institute, Aventis Pasteur,
has raised the Thai food supplement V-1 Immunitor to Phase 3/4, a
stage that indicates it has shown to be the most effective cure
against Aids so far. The Thai HIV product has successfully undergone
Phase 3 safety and immunogenicity tests. It still needs to go through
Phase 4 – the final phase that proves its real effectiveness.

This is certainly a good news for the V-1 Immunitor inventor,
Pharmacist Vichai Jirathitikarn, and thousands of HIV patients all
over the country who are taking the drug (currently considered by the
Thai Food and Drug Administration as a mere food supplement). However
this good news has not been well recognized by the Thai Public Health
Ministry and other medical authorities.

Public Health Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan said last week the ministry
declined to include the V-1 Immunitor (under the medical name
"Absorbed Inactivated virion") in the government’s 30-baht universal
health care coverage scheme. She said the ministry would reconsider
only if and when V-1 could be scientifically proved as a valid
medicine.

The V-1 Immunitor made its debut last year when Pharmacist Vichai and
a former police deputy chief, Pol. Gen Salang Bunnag, started
distributing the V-1 Immunitor free of charge to interested HIV
patients. Vichai developed the V-1 Immunitor at his Ban Bangpakong
Clinic in Chasoengsao province, 80 kilometers east of Bangkok.

More patients kept coming to receive the drug after learning that many
HIV patients taking V-1 Immunitor have gained better health, with
their HIV status turning from positive to negative.

Unfortunately, four months ago doctors volunteering at the Salang
Bunnag Foundation accused Vichai of breaching an agreement that it be
distributed free of charge, and that the substance had failed to
improve immunity levels.

To these charges, Vichai replied that his clinic would not survive if
it continued to distribute the product free of charge. He also said
that people who took V-1 should stay under close supervision by
doctors – another reason why indiscriminate giveaways would not work.
He did admit that some patients who took V-1 had grown worse and died,
but said they all had had very low immunity levels which were hard to
reverse.

Vichai also pointed out that vested interests would stand to loose if
V-1 was a success. These vested interests include drug firms
distributing anti-antroviral drugs costing 20,000 -30,000 baht a
month. That’s why poor HIV patients died quickly – they could not
afford to buy such expensive medicines.

Vichai’s Ban Bangpakong Clinic sell V-1 at 60 baht per tablet to
people who can afford to pay, but support patients who cannot.

Apart from his patients who recovered from the HIV status, numerous
doctors have also supported him after their own individual studies of
different groups of HIV-infected patients taking V-1 Immunitor.

Oraphan Methadilokkul, an expert in occupational and environmental
medicine at Rajavithi Hospital, recently cited her finding from a
14-month follow-up study of 22 patients whose blood tests were
reported to have turn negative after they took V-1 from Ban Bangpakong
Clinic. She said it was still too soon to conclude that the food
supplement was an effective cure against HIV/Aids, and more studies
were needed.

With the recent listing of V-1 Immunitor by Adventis Pastuer as the
highest potential for curing this terrible disease, the Thai Public
Health Ministry and/or medical institutes should support extended
researches on this food supplement, for the sake of not only the Thai
patients, but also the HIV/Aids sufferers worldwide.

This library of information was first compiled by Jon Greenberg,
before he died, and then distributed by AIDS Project Los Angeles
(APLA). Steven Korsia worked with Jon on this project. I contacted
APLA but they told me they no longer distribute it and they don’t have
a copy to share either. As a student, I am looking for a copy and if
anyone has one, please, please help me by sending me an email so I can
give you my address. I am a student at Metro State College of Denver,
and my minor is in wholistic health.

Please do not post to the group, I’m way too busy to keep checking
back, so please email me directly: starw…@interfold.com

Thank you for your time.

Doctors and medical students should realise that they cannot know
Addison`s disease without consulting Addison and his colleagues.

Extensive research has revealed that it is ALWAYS tuberculosis.

Countlesss people are being needlessly medicated with steroids because
of confusion with the AUTO-IMMUNE disease of DOGS.

There is NO CRAVING for salt – except AFTER a MINERALOCORTICOID such
as FLUDROCORTISONE is given.

There is an image is Addison himself (resurrected by computer tricks).
See the advert at http://wehner.org/advert

I have Addison`s disease. The British are with-holding treatment. They
have destroyed my home, and all my possessions. The website is
currently the only remaining evidence that I ever existed on this
planet.

If you copy the site, you can make great knowledge available to
yourselves and to your students. It costs a few minutes` worth of
electricity, plus about 2 megabytes of space for WINZIP and almost 8
megabytes for the site itself. Everything will appear in a directory
known as "wehner". For example, the introduction to the Greenhow book,
which is at http://wehner.org/addison/greenhow/index.htm will be at
c:\wehner\addison\greenhow\index.htm if you have extracted to
directory c:\

Go to http://www.winzip.com/download.htm

and click to download and run the installation program. Follow the
INSTALLATION WIZARD (Internet Explorer), and select CLASSIC interface.
This installs Winzip.

Then go to http://wehner.org/wehner.zip and OPEN.

Winzip will appear. Agree to everything, but make sure that it
extracts to C:\

Finally, when you see the list of files, press EXTRACT.

THERE IS NO CATCH. Electronic books cost nothing but the electricity
and the space that they take up. The more copies that are made, the
more my work becomes worthwhile.

I have, after all, been typing and researching, and doing graphics
processing, in a state of exhaustion and shock for well over a year.

I researched the disease extensively during my 45-year ordeal, using
modern books as well – but COPYRIGHT restrictions mean that only the
classic books, with its fascinating story of medical detective-work
(how CAN you live without adrenal glands?) are public domain.
