Delusions in HIV and cancer treatment

NotAIDS! Commentary
October 20, 2007

Delusional thinking is epidemic in the field of HIV and AIDS research and treatment. The October 12 news of a KS outbreak in Dr. Marcus Conant's San Francisco patients refreshes the debate on what constitutes effective HIV care.

If the fifteen patients afflicted by the (HHV-8) virally induced lesions are receiving highly active antiretroviral thereapy, and as the industry's stated goals of undetectable "viral loads" and higher T-cell counts has been attained in these patients, then wtf has happened in San Francisco?

Perhaps one or both of these answers is correct.

  1. "HIV care" and widely prescribed highly toxic "medicines" are not effective, nor do they promote wellness nor prevent illness, and the field is crowded with delusional researchers and scientists who are basically wasting their time and our tax money;
  2. or

  3. The entire HIV/AIDS industry is built on a false assumption: that the 1980s outbreaks of KS and PCP were a new disease called "gay related immune deficiency" and later, "AIDS" - caused by a new retrovirus named "HIV," which was introduced to the gay population by strange people in Africa who chased chimpanzee meat

AIDS industry die-hards are cruel and condescending to anyone who is HIV positive and chooses a nutritional answer to the wild predictions of impending immune system breakdown.

Any holder of public office or recipient of governement funds dares not come out in public with their true belief about which of the two answers is correct.

If they talk about any other theory than the "consensus" belief that "HIV" causes "AIDS" and only drugs can help, their career will surely be destroyed by AIDS lovers who scoff and jeer at the possibility that garlic or potatoes or berries - or any food has theraputic properties.

As the chart shows, however, lack of food and nutrition is a key component of the HIV cycle.1

It is delusional to think that engineered drugs alone can ensure health for millions of people worldwide who have been unfortunate to have received the AIDS industry's deathwish and are diagnosed "HIV positive."

Delusions are not unique to the HIV/AIDS sector. Cancer treatment and the entire oncology sector is afflicted with the same pattern of thinking: that engineered drugs will be a panacea of cancer-free health.

No matter the huge sacrifice in quality of life, nor the gargantuan financial burden imposed by the drugs upon cancer patients, their families, and the taxpayer, and no matter the insignificant increase in lifespan or time to progression, estimated in months not years, the cancer industry persists in enforcing adherence to cancer drug regimens.

Despite their great toll and unmanageable cost, more billions continue to be invested by government into snake-oil of dubious efficacy and fancy desk jobs researching the impossibly heterogenous plurality of cancer genomes.

George Miklos and Phillip Baird masterfully articulate the delusion problem infecting the science of cancer research in a paper published in the May 1, 2007 edition of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News.

The clinical issue is straightforward. If a solid tumor is detected before any of its cells have disseminated and the tumor is resected, then the patient is cured.

Hence, the key is early detection. Instead of misguided megasequencing projects and bioinformatic deconvolutions that are manifestly tangential to the main issues of dissemination and metastasis, it would seem more prudent to invest in the development of diagnostic technologies for detecting cancer growths, as well as the properties of cells that are destined to metastasize.

For those of us who actually participated in the original Human Genome Project, or who have spent most of our lives examining the pathologies of various cancers, the latest moon shot of the NCI is a disgrace to clear thinking.

Lavishing taxpayers money onto DNA sequencing of primary tumors in a vain attempt to hit paydirt is a clear sign of both desperation and a lack of the most basic scientific rigor.2
