Here, the evidence seems to be that ignoring the results of so-called
"HIV" tests is the safest route to continued good health. All of our
"Aids" indicators are declining sharply, aparently because people no
longer have your touching faith in this HIV idea. The Continuum Group,
which monitors a large number of allegedly "HIV+" people, has made
the observation that serious illness and death is clustered amongst
those who take anti-viral medication such as AZT. As more people are
persuaded off this poison, our "Aids" deaths decline more quickly. I
hope that has answered your question. Even our insurers have written
"Aids" off as a public health issue. OK so far?

Virtually nothing is understood about T-cells or what significance
counting them holds in relation to health. Talk to James Scutero about
how T-cell counting is a waste of time. It certainly was for him.

You haven't been listening have you? We are all saying rather the same
thing. I know several individuals who have recovered their normal health
after giving up so-called anti-HIV drugs. The orthodox case has nothing
but failure and confusion to show after 12+ years. The number of
non-medicating long term alleged "HIV+" people may even now be a majority
of our HIV/AIDS cases, or will certainly soon become so.

Right, sure.  The people who take AZT probably do so when their
T-cells are very low and close to death.  The death may be delayed a
week or two by taking the AZT--but they would probably have died
without it.  I agree it is second rate crap, but it is not the cause
of AIDS.  And I have had 2 friends die of HIV infection who never took
AZT.  Frankly, this sort of advice is what I expected: and your are
not only deluded but downright evil for suggesting people pretend
everything is hunky dory.

>Virtually nothing is understood about T-cells or what significance

Bullshit.  Relying on a small blip increase in T-cells as a sign of
efficacy in a drug is indeed bullshit.  PLENTY is known about T-cells
and of course plenty more remains to be learned!  Have you EVER
cracked an immunology text?

>You haven't been listening have you? We are all saying rather the same

I think this is an exaggeration of stupendous proportions.  To wit:
you are lying.  Stopping the drugs, while certainly sensible if people
have been on too long, makes sense.  Doing nothing does not.  All the
data contradict your assertions.  The nukes are crap, yes; but they
don't cause AIDS.  Present data to the contrary, and I'll thik about
it.  But frankly, I don't believe you one little bit.  If what you
said was true, several of my friends would still be here.  And some of
my friends who are using the nukes/protease inhibitors are still alive
(even though they never had before then and, frankly, were dying from
wasting, a common sequela found in lentiviral infections).

You offer nothing but delusions, lies and bullshit.  I reject your
notions.  Continuum is  a collection of fools.

Perhaps, but they are "fools" who prefer living to dying. You would
have people take so-called anti-HIV drugs, and you think this might be
good for their health. Now which of us is deluded?

Everything I say about the disappearance of "Aids" from the UK is the
truth. You are not the first here to find it uncomfortable, but during
the time I have been posting to this group my claims have been borne
out.

Well, we certainly wouldn't be able to even to that if you

Why don't you leave your ACTUP (Actively Crying To Use
Pharmaceuticals) meeting and join us in the little room
right behind your stage at the CoHR (Coaltion for Health
Reeducation) meeting next Monday night and talk to some
of the people who have recovered.  People who, against
their doctors wishes, took themselves off of ALL their
medications and started practicing health.  

: If you're just suggesting people with T<100
: are healthy, then get a fucking grip.  That ain't the case.  

Coming from someone who is always screaming that, "all my
friends have died or are dying!" and probably wouldn't
recognize a healthy person if he saw one that is a powerful
statement.  THere are Olympic athletes with T<100.  Manyu
healthy people, particularly vegans and Natural Hygienists,
who have submitted to t-cell testing have been told that
their counts are too low.  Too low for what?  These people
enjoy a level of wellness experienced by few people on this
planet.  And they invariably outlive the doctors who give
the same advice that George parrots and was responsible for
the death of all his friends.

:               George M. Carter

No, George, we don't want money, we want trips to Europe
and Asia to demonstrate at conferences.  Do you think
Burroughs (Now Glaxo)Wellcome will give us a few million
like they did for you ActUppers, whose behaved like
Nazi storm troopers at previous conferences?  No.  It is
you who are not rational.  If you don't of people who have
been helped by following holistic protocols, it's because
you don't want to look.  And please don't come back with
your complementary therapy bullshit, because that is all
that it is.  You cannot combine a holistic therapy with
allopathy because holistic therapies require detoxification
and that cannot happen while you continue to poison yourself.

But, you don't want to hear about it, because, once a drug
addict, always a drug addict.  Just because you get them
from a doctor instead of from a pusher doesn't change the
fact that all drugs are toxic and immunosuppressive.

If you object to the open discussions on this board, go
back to where you make the rules, or at least sci.med.aids
where equally foolish people restrict the flow of information.
It is because of people like you and Mark Buzza that this
board came into being.  If you don't like it, and you can't
carry on a debate without foul language, take you buzzwords
somewhere else.

Speaking of buzzwords, could someone explain how a chemotherapy
drug, too toxic to be used on cancer patients, a DNA chain
terminator, suddenly becomes an "anti-viral."  That's funny.
I always thought an antibody to a virus was an anti-viral.

Your friend,
Ed

Try Lancet 1985;1:537-40 for a description of acute hiv infection, see also
Scand. J.Inf. Dis., 1987;19:13-17 , JAMA 1990;263:2318 and Ann. INt. Med

This is unsubstantiated bullshit--like so much of the rest of your
post.  You of course resort to insulting me because your positions are
absurd and ill-informed.  Your CoHR meetings--I went once and Matt
Grace spouted plenty of misinformation. You are certainly free to say
whatever nonsense you like.  I just hope most people ignore you, and,
thankfully, I'm pretty sure most do.

Insult you?  where?  If my positions are absurd, how come my

who were influenced by your rantings.  And, I don't know how
you do it, but you have the distinction of being the only

Not true.  You have never attended a CoHR meeting.  You did
attend part of a lecture one time that I recall.  But I believe
you came in late and left early--not even sticking around for
the question period.  We don't shout, we don't disrupt church
services or stop traffic.  Yes, most people ignore us, and most
of them die.  During Hitler's reign most people ignored the
few who tried to warn them not to get on those trains.  But
they believed they were going to "someplace better than this."
They believed they would be given jobs and homes.  

It's interesting how drug addicts like you and Martin Delaney
(Project [mis]Inform) keep crying for more drugs.

AMAZING rhetorical technique. Lieb totally ducks George's implied
question, and follows with one of the most illogical non-sequitirs
I have had the virtue of reading. It is dead-brain crap like this
that is the reason I no longer post on this group, although I
pass on my admirations to those like Robert Holzmann who have the
fortitude and stomach to keep rehashing the old arguments, hoping
to kindle a light in someone's brain. The "HIV doesn't cause AIDS"
deal, OK, there is some room in that for a spirited discussion. But to claim
that dramatically decreased T-cells are not associated with ill health
(regardless of HIV) is nothing short of absurd. There is a study
of Olympic athletes, showing low T-cell averages - around 300 if I remember:
nowhere near counts associated with _acute_ risk of opportunitic
infection. There is so much data out there associating really low
T-cells (<100) with a drastically increased risk of death, I think
it is fairly irrefutable, even for this group. HIV doesn't have to have
anything to do with it. If you like, you don't have to even believe that
low counts are causal. You don't have to believe that CD4s are
"helper" cells. But if your T-cell count is below 100, you are at
huge risk of premature death. I know I will get flames for this, but this
is so very silly, I am not even going to bother dragging out citations.

Question:  Why were studies conducted of Olympic Athletes t-cells?
What was postulated to drop t-cells from normal 17-70 year-old ranges of
600 to 960 t-cells?
Can you provide a copy or direct us to it. I'm very inteerested in
findings for t-cells outside the HIV+ population.  Thanks.

Law Firm Seeks Clients For AZT Lawsuits

        If you have suffered health problems or sustained other damages
from being prescribed AZT, there is a law firm that is interested in
discussing a possible suit against AZT's manufacturer, Glaxo Wellcome.
        The firm is Kananack, Murgatroyd, Baum & Hedlund, a plaintiff law
firm specializing in product liability, commercial vehicle negligence,
and wrongful death litigation, which has offices in both Los Angeles and
Washington, D.C. In addition to suing AZT's manufacturer, the firm may
also file lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health and the
Centers for Disease Control.
        To qualify to file an AZT lawsuit, individuals must have been
asymptomatic when AZT was prescribed, taken it for a significant period
of time, and have suffered damages to their health, income, or personal
lives as a result thereof. For more information, call Kananack,
Murgatroyd, Baum & Hedlund's Los Angeles office at 1-800-827-0087.
