Simple maths?

We are told by the CDC : –

  "The HIV/AIDS crisis at home remains tragic as precious lives continue
to be lost to the disease. Each year 40,000
  Americans are infected with HIV. Currently, an estimated 900,000
Americans are HIV positive and evidence indicates those numbers are
increasing, not declining or even holding steady."

  What is startling is that this is the same line we’ve been told for
years now. We supposedly have this increasing
number of "HIV converts" (40,000 per year), yet that number, 40,000
remains the same year after year. Weird. It like, 40,000, 40,000,
40,000, 40,000, 40,000 and on and on and we have ‘evidence’ for increasing
seroconversions. Lame.

  And that number, 900,000. Someone at the CDC just completely pulled that
number from their ass.

  In 1990 the CDC retroactively revised downward the estimates of
HlV-infected persons for the period of 1985-89 (in the US). It went from
1.2 million to 0.75 million. The number for 1990 itself was said to be
about I million (CDC, 1990). Then, in 1996, the CDC retrospectively
revised downward the 1992 estimate to yet another figure of 650,000. By
1996, the number of people said to be infected was between
650,000 and 900,000.

  So there’s that number 900,000 being used in 1996. Yet now in 2003 we
supposedely still have 900,000
ESTIMATED infected people according to the SGN article (they use the word
‘currently’). However, in 1999, to further confuse matters, the
CDC estimated HIV incidence as approximately 40,000 infections per year
and the number of persons living with HIV at about 800,000 to
900,000 (MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 1999). So if you’re head isn’t just
spinning quite yet, consider this; if, in 1996, they had an
estimated 650,000 to 900,000 HIV ‘poz’ folk, in 1999 they had 800,000 to
900,000 ‘poz’ folk. Why only increase the lower estimate? Do we
now only have ONE estimate and not a range? If we take the 1996 estimate
of 900,000 and add 40,000 new cases per year until the end of
2001, we really should have 1,140,000 ‘poz’ people. If we go back to 1992,
when
  the number was said to be a firm 650,000 and add 40,000 cases per year
until 2002, we come up with 1,050,000 cases. So where they get
this 40,000 number and 900,000 is beyond me. Perhaps they revised the
numbers down without really telling anyone.

  I hope you are all completely and utterly confused, because frankly, I
think the CDC, with all their numerous PhD
heads running around, are as equally confused.

Not sure these are the right group to post.  anyways…

I have problem in dealing with height and speed, especially handling with
G-force. e.g. on rollercoster or in a small plane. Is there any medication
that can help me?  I want to be have fun with my family, but I am even scare
to play rollercosters with my kids.  Is it a psychological thing? any
medication can help?

Could / would this study be extrapolated TO the .. rest .. of the diseases and
possibly / hopefully achieve the .. SAME .. extraordinary .. results .. ?

[Therapeutic effects of prolonged normovolemic hemodilution in patients with
Raynaud's disease]

[Article in Russian]

Mamurov VA.

51 patients with Raynaud’s disease has undergone prolonged normovolemic
hemodilution (PNH) with a good effect. Disappearance of painful syndrome in
78.43% of cases, and a significant decrease of pains in 21.37% of cases was
demonstrated. Complete healing of ulcero-necrotic defects of end phalanges of
the hands was observed in 7 patients of 10 and partial–in 3. A significant
remission of the disease in follow-up period was obtained. Thus, prolonged
normovolemic hemodilution has resulted in significant improvement of short- and
long-term results of treatment in patients with Raynaud’s disease.

The House That AIDS Built

[excerpt]

By Liam Scheff (Boston Dig feature writer)

In New York’s Washington Heights is a 4-story brick building called
Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC). This former convent houses a
revolving stable of children who’ve been removed from their own homes by
the Agency for Child Services. These children are black, Hispanic and
poor. Many of their mothers had a history of drug abuse and have died.
Once taken into ICC, the children become subjects of drug trials sponsored
by NIAID (National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease, a
division of the NIH), NICHD (the National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development) in conjunction with some of the world’s largest
pharmaceutical companies – GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Genentech,
Chiron/Biocine and others.

The drugs being given to the children are toxic – they’re known to cause
genetic mutation, organ failure, bone marrow death, bodily deformations,
brain damage and fatal skin disorders. If the children refuse the drugs,
they’re held down and have them force fed. If the children continue to
resist, they’re taken to Columbia Presbyterian hospital where a surgeon
puts a plastic tube through their abdominal wall into their stomachs. From
then on, the drugs are injected directly into their intestines.

In 2003, two children, ages 6 and 12, had debilitating strokes due to drug
toxicities. The 6-year-old went blind. They both died shortly after.
Another 14-year old died recently. An 8-year-old boy had two plastic
surgeries to remove large, fatty, drug-induced lumps from his neck.

This isn’t science fiction. This is AIDS research. The children at ICC
were born to mothers who tested HIV positive, or who themselves tested
positive. However, neither parents nor children were told a crucial fact
— HIV tests are extremely inaccurate.(1,2) The HIV test cross-reacts with
nearly seventy commonly-occurring conditions, giving false positive
results. These conditions include common colds, herpes, hepatitis,
tuberculosis, drug abuse, inoculations and most troublingly, current and
prior pregnancy.(3,4,5) This is a double inaccuracy, because the factors
that cause false positives in pregnant mothers can be passed to their
children – who are given the same false diagnosis.

AIDS causing slower world population growth

World population growth is slowing largely because of increasing
mortality rates related to the AIDS epidemic and declining fertility
rates, according to a Census Bureau report released on Monday.

The report predicts that the world population will increase by nearly
50% over the next 50 years, from 6.2 billion in 2002 to 9.1 billion in
2050. However, the growth rate is expected to slow to 0.42% by 2050,
compared with 1.2% between 2001 and 2002, the report states.

The decline in the rate of population growth is tied primarily to
declining fertility rates. In 1990 women gave birth to an average of
3.3 children during their lifetimes, according to the study. By 2002
the average had dropped to 2.6 children per woman, and the bureau
predicts that it will fall below the level needed for population
replacement before 2050.

Most of the estimated 40 million HIV-positive people in the world are
expected to die within the next 10 years, according to the report.
Demographers predict that the average life expectancy in several
African countries will drop to around 30 years by 2010, in large part
because of the AIDS epidemic. Botswana, South Africa, and other
countries in Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa could
experience population declines due to deaths from AIDS-related
complications.

The report states that the trend could be reversed if AIDS education
programs are successfully expanded in developing nations. The bureau
gives credit to Thailand, Uganda, and Senegal, where the HIV/AIDS
epidemic appears to have been curbed because of prevention efforts.

Hi all

Last week i came across an incredible therapy and communication tool called ICTech. It is all about how we use our brains, how we send and recieve information. In essence how we communicate with ourselves, others and the universe i guess. How important is that?

I found out something i had no idea about, people think in different ways. We each have a natural style, and it can be any of one of five different types. When we are thinking in our natural style we think the way we were born to think and it does not require any effort.

Unfortunately though most people don’t think in their natural style. Somewhere along the line most of us subconsciously were led to believe that a different style would be best. This actually really hinders us and causes a great deal of stress.

The person behind ICTech Linda Carlson says that 92% of people go around subconsciously angry and depressed and i believe her! The difference this knowledge is already making in my life is unbelievable. And for somebody interested in psychology and how we communicate i found this to be a revelation.

You can find out all about it here: http://267.clickalyzer.com/1058/ICTech  

All the best

Two-Step Treatment May Flush HIV Reservoir

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles
have reported that they may have uncovered a two-step approach that
flushes out HIV reservoirs in the body, then kills the virus, offering
the first hope for controlling a lifelong HIV infection. Writing in
the September issue of the journal Immunity, the researchers say the
process works by first using two compounds—interleukin-7 and
prostratin—to partially activate HIV-infected resting T cells and then
killing those cells by introducing antibodies that attack HIV. When
resting T cells are dormant, anti-HIV drugs cannot find them to work
against the virus hiding inside.

The technique—already tested in mice and now being studied in
monkeys—could allow people to take years or even decades off
antiretroviral therapy because there would be a minimal surviving HIV
reservoir to reseed the body with virus once the drugs were stopped,
the researchers say. The approach effectively cleared 70% to 80% of
the reservoir of latent HIV-infected T cells in mouse studies.

Molecular characterization, reactivation, and depletion of latent HIV.

Brooks DG, Hamer DH, Arlen PA, Gao L, Bristol G, Kitchen CM, Berger
EA, Zack JA.
Immunity. 2003 Sep;19(3):413-23.

Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics,
University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.

Antiretroviral therapy is unable to eliminate HIV infection in a
small, long-lived population of latently infected T cells, providing a
source for renewed viral replication following cessation of therapy.
Analysis of individual latently infected cells generated in the
SCID-hu (Thy/Liv) mouse demonstrated no functional viral RNA produced
in the latent state. Following reactivation viral expression was
dramatically increased, rendering the infected cells susceptible to an
anti-HIV immunotoxin. Treatment with the immunotoxin in conjunction
with agents that activate virus expression without inducing cell
division (IL-7 or the non-tumor-promoting phorbol ester prostratin)
depleted the bulk of the latent reservoir and left uninfected cells
able to respond to subsequent costimulation. We demonstrate that
activation of latent virus is required for targeting by antiviral
agents and provide the basis for future therapeutic strategies to
eradicate the latent reservoir.
