Why Retroviruses Appear in AIDS, Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases

By Cal Crilly
Edited by Fintan Dunne

"HIV is so 80's. That's why it's called a retro virus."

First of all I'm not qualified. I've been an electronics factory worker for the last decade. I've done half a year part-time of university biology but discovered that under our government's cutbacks, night classes don't exist anymore --so all of this was researched during tea breaks.

I'm here because I read John Lauritsen's 'AIDS War' and for me HIV/AIDS was over once I discovered the truth about the AIDS drugs. That book was written in 1994, so why am I even writing this now? I don't know.

I also became incredibly ill from Phenol (Benzene) exposure at work and that's why I know the fine details. This is because Benzene is still the most obvious culprit involved in the T-cell depletion that causes AIDS.

"By carefully measuring individual laborers' exposure to benzene and other chemicals, the researchers showed that the 109 workers exposed below the 1 ppm level still had white blood cell counts almost 15 percent lower than similar workers who were not exposed. The reduction was larger for individuals subjected to more than 10 ppm of benzene."
Even at Low Levels, Benzene Takes Toll on White Blood Cells Link

My first shot, if I ever say Benzene causes more T-cell depletion than HIV I get called a holocaust denier.

        Section 2

So on to retroviruses.

Retrovirus is a misnomer.

Just because Robert Gallo declared a retrovirus to be the probable cause of AIDS in 1984 at a press conference doesn't mean a thing. He knew nothing about retroviruses back then and his main peer, Peter Duesberg said he was wrong immediately.

The commercial gold rush set up by the American government via the NIH who employed Gallo to sell two new tests, one was the HIV antibody test which still to this day has on the inserts warnings saying things like this.

"The AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR [Viral Load] test is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV infection,"

"Do not use this kit as the sole basis of diagnosis of HIV-1 infection" (Abbott Laboratories HIV Test, Roche Viral Load Test and Epitope, Inc. Western Blot Test,

Positive test results can occur due to "prior pregnancy, blood transfusions...and other potential nonspecific reactions" (Vironostika HIV Test, 2003).

The other was the Michael Gottlieb's T-cell test, completely confusing when put into practice, terrifying healthy people with low T-cell counts who only have low T-cell counts because they aren't sick and therefore don't need T-cells to be on massive alert.

If you have a high T-cell count it could mean you have an autoimmune disease or allergies but they tell you that you're well. All a giant stuff up, in fact I would say both of these guys are like the Derek Zoolanders of Biology, who led everyone up a creek where the boat got stuck.

And that's where we are now.

       Section 3

After the Genome project happened we discovered –Lord, Oh Lordie-- that about 40% of our Genome was made up of RNA transposable elements, in other words they replicate differently to DNA and move around or transpose.

Before the Genome Project these were called 'Junk DNA' because we didn't know what they were --and 8% of those transposable elements are called Long Terminal Repeats by the geneticists.

Long Terminal Repeats are also called retroviruses.

The way our genome keeps them in check to stop them moving round aimlessly is with a process called DNA Methylation.

Tucked away in my university book 'Principles of Genetics' by Snustad and Simmons is this quote.

"Where Methylated DNA is found, it is associated with transcriptional repression. This is most dramatically seen in female mammals where the inactive X chromosome is extensively methylated. Regions of the mammalian genome that contain repetitive sequences , including those rich in transposable elements are also methylated, perhaps as a way of protecting the organism against the deleterious effects of transposable expression and movement" (Page 620 if you need to look.)

So retroviruses are not infectious, they are in us, all the time.

They are involved in fetal and cell growth and you find them everywhere especially in the placenta in large amounts during early pregnancy because fetal cells are Methylating and Demethylating over and over as the growth happens.

"Epigenetic alterations, including changes in DNA methylation status, are among the most common molecular alterations in human neoplasia. DNA methylation changes are also involved in mammalian development, starting with a wave of demethylation during cleavage, followed by genome-wide de novo methylation after implantation. Recently, Ohgane et al. reported that the differentiation of a trophoblast lineage is associated with DNA methylation and demethylation."
DNA Methylation Changes in Sera of Women in Early Pregnancy Are Similar to Those in Advanced Breast Cancer Patients Link

So what do we do?

We panic and test our women for a theoretical retrovirus that was 'The probable cause of AIDS' back in 1984 and then it gets worse because we give them anti-retroviral drugs to stop these evil retroviruses.

Never mind that the drugs even have warnings saying "These drugs can cause mutations", this is an ideological crusade just to keep ourselves satisfied that we are winning the war on AIDS.

I've cried about this, got so angry my adrenal glands hurt, been abused for telling people, lost friends, lost a lot of time, maybe more, felt insane and ended up saying tragic jokes like "I think I might have the AGE virus, it's going to get me one day."
.

       Section 4

Retrovirus is a misnomer. Here's the HERV-W retrovirus involved in cell to cell fusion when pregnancy happens, when this came on the net I saw it straight away and my alarm bells went off.

Robert Gallo did not know any of this in 1984.

HIV is so 80's.

That's why it's called a retro virus.

"We demonstrate that HERV-W encodes a highly fusogenic membrane glycoprotein able to induce syncytium formation upon interaction with the type D mammalian retrovirus receptor expressed in primate and pig cells. Moreover, we found that HERV-W was expressed in placenta cells, suggesting that it may be involved in normal placenta function."
An Envelope Glycoprotein of the Human Endogenous Retrovirus HERV-W Is Expressed in the Human Placenta and Fuses Cells Expressing the Type D Mammalian Retrovirus Receptor Link

Highly fusogenic means they stick to us, no wonder everyone thought they were infectious.

They are certainly involved in cell growth. What I believe is happening is they are holding us together and the most dramatic example is the collapse of collagen and skin in AIDS patients who take the anti- retrovirals. .

Just go to www.facialwasting.org and see what I mean.

Here is an example of our retroviruses appearing in our skin.

"This tissue-tropism should be seen in relation to the high expression previously found in syncytiotrophoblasts in placenta and sebaceous glands of the skin, suggesting profound influences by steroid hormonal regulation." Expression of human endogenous retrovirus ERV3 (HERV-R) mRNA in normal and neoplastic tissues. Link

The "profound influence of steroid hormonal regulation" just means our hormones give the signals to the cells to grow and the retroviruses are part of the process.

This is why they say don't take too much Vitamin A in pregnancy because it can cause defects but likewise if you don't have enough you get defects as well because there is a "wave of demethylation during cleavage" of the fetal cells.

And the retroviruses appear with demethylation.

It's all about balance in an unbalanced world. Now I have a folder called Nerd in my newly repaired Bitza computer with it's 8gig hard drive (woohoo and thanks Ward, he's the computer nerd that is making this possible). That folder has 1.6meg in word document quotes just to prove this. Unfortunately the real research on retroviruses has not been done yet, so come on I'm waiting, but in the meantime I can show you a lot they've all missed using their own data.

       Section 5

So how did Gallo stuff up? Well he was a failed retrovirologist who thought because he found retroviruses in Leukemia that he could extract that retrovirus and infect some other poor mammal and give them Leukemia.

Well it didn't work just the same as the poor chimps now in retirement zoos who were infected with HIV, they didn't get sick.

When some poor gay guys from the disco era who had used Amyl Nitrate, Coke and party drugs followed by over prescription of Antibiotics, Cortisone (an immune suppressant drug) and more (there were also Benzene contaminated lubricants called Hot Oils on the market), finally got ill and came down with pneumonia --Gallo turned up with his retrovirus test and, lo and behold, got a few positives.

We are talking about a handful of guys, literally --and the press, who were in full Reagan mode and wanted a pogrom against gays, simply went with it. Bigots.

How does this effect science now? Here's my funniest example.

I'm from Brisbane in Australia, we get called the Deep North up here, everyone thinks we're hicks with IQ's of 60 (mine's 152 just to be a show off). We have Koalas here, and the greenies get very upset that they are going to disappear from the city zone and they probably will. This is because they are a bit dumb and even if we made corridors for them to travel through when breeding season comes they are so hot for sex they run out under cars and into back yards where dogs just crunch them.

But down near the Gold Coast (bit like a Florida zone) there's one of those theme parks called Dreamworld. This is a study of the koalas there who are kept old and alive long enough for the researchers to notice that they are riddled with Lymphomas.

Why?

Well these researchers have blamed the Koala retrovirus (so don't have sex with the critters), and if they have their way the female koalas will be put on anti-retrovirals to stop mother to child transmission. I'm not kidding, that's how scientists think.

"Koala retrovirus (KoRV) is a newly described endogenous retrovirus and is unusual in that inserts comprise a full-length replication competent genome. As koalas are known to suffer from an extremely high incidence of leukaemia/lymphoma, the association between this retrovirus and disease in koalas was examined. Using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR it was demonstrated that KoRV RNA levels in plasma are significantly increased in animals suffering from leukaemia or lymphoma when compared with healthy animals."

Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR for the endogenous koala retrovirus reveals an association between plasma viral load and neoplastic disease in koalas Link

Why on earth do koalas suffer an extremely high incidence of leukaemia/lymphoma?

Well, remember DNA Methylation keeps retroviruses in check. If you look at cancer studies they mention that global demethylation of the Genome is a big risk factor for getting cancer, here's one saying what happens with the retroviruses.

"In addition, when researchers treat cells or mice with drugs that demethylate the genome, the result is activation of previously silent retroviruses and endogenous genes."
Genomic Methylation for AIDS and Cancer Therapies Link

Retrovirus is a misnomer again, they are just coming out because our DNA is not being methylated. Demethylation is the cause of the disease, and this is because the nutrients needed for Methylation to happen are also antioxidants that protect cells.

When the cells are falling apart that's when the retroviruses come out.

Harold Foster is running what seem already to be successful trials with Selenium on AIDS patients in Africa. I'm writing this also because he was the one that noticed that Selenium deficiency causes AIDS.

Koalas only eat Eucalyptus leaves and on that diet they get Selenium deficient.

"In addition, analyses done for the agroforestry program showed that little selenium accumulated in the eucalyptus leaves or wood fiber; however, it was noted that high concentrations of selenium accumulated in the sap."
Eucalyptus Trees Used to Clean Up Selenium
May Now Be a Danger to Migratory Birds Link

Also here in South East Queensland where Brisbane and the Gold Coast are we have low Selenium levels in our soil.

"Selenium deficiency is usually associated with acid or sandy soils where the annual rainfall is over 450mm. This occurs in the northern and southern tablelands of NSW, coastal and south east Queensland, parts of Western Australia, Victoria, South Australia and the eastern half of Tasmania"
Save on Sheep Selenium Dollars Link

The koalas are Selenium deficient and Selenium in the form of S-adenosyl-methionine or SAM is needed for Methylation to happen.

"Interestingly, the continuous feeding of a diet deficient in choline and methionine is recognized to lead to global DNA hypomethylation and cause hepatocellular carcinomas in rats in the absence of any exogenous carcinogen."
Diet, Epigenetic Events, and Cancer Prevention Link

"Dietary deficiencies of the SAM precursors folate, methionine, vitamin B12, and choline have been associated with increased cancer risk."
Diet, DNA Methylation Processes and Health Workshop Link

This is why we give pregnant mums folic acid. We forgot the Selenium and the koalas, they just have to breed quickly before they get leukemia.

Harry Foster is right to use Selenium. Thankfully someone noticed.

       Section 6

Who else is using this? Lots of us are.

Every time we get a flu we reach for garlic because it has selenium, but in South Africa there's been a fuss for some years now because Tine Van Der Maas has been using a mix of Lemons, Garlic, Beetroot and Olive Oil to cure AIDS and TB patients.

This is her website.

Power to the People
http://www.powertothepeople.co.za

Lemons simply stop scurvy and must be the oldest antiviral on the planet. How did we get to Australia? Captain Cook used lemons and the sailors didn't die on the way.

Garlic has the Selenium, but Beetroot has Folic Acid and Choline that are both nutrients needed for DNA Methylation to happen. Olive oil provides the Omega essential fatty acids.

Here's the proof, Glutathione is a Selenium compound that protects cells.

"These results suggest that DNA hypermethylation of the HIV LTR may change the binding characteristics between LTR sequences and cellular proteins, thereby suppressing HIV LTR transcription and modulating viral expression." Inactivation of the HIV LTR by DNA CpG methylation: evidence for a role in latency Link

"Intracellular levels of glutathione are depleted in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in whom the risk of tuberculosis, particularly disseminated disease is many times that of healthy individuals. In this study, we examined the role of glutathione in immunity against tuberculosis infection in samples derived from healthy and human immunodeficiency virus infected subjects. Our studies confirm that glutathione levels are reduced in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in red blood cells isolated from human immunodeficiency virus-infected subjects (CD4>400/cumm). Furthermore, treatment of blood cultures from human immunodeficiency virus infected subjects with N-acetyl cysteine, a glutathione precursor, caused improved control of intracellular M. tuberculosis infection." Glutathione and growth inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in healthy and HIV infected subjects. Link

"In AIDS patients, chronic inflammation and elevated levels of cytokines seem to be associated with lower levels of GSH: GSH levels decrease rapidly upon infection with HIV and continue to decline as the disease progresses. Investigators have shown that agents that increase intracellular levels of GSH inhibit HIV replication." Potential role of reduced glutathione as an antiviral agent Link

       Section 7

Now I'll use someone else to summarise my points about retroviruses before I hit you all with the bewildering nerd stuff that proves these nutrients are the first call treatment for AIDS, Cancer and all the autoimmune diseases and allergy diseases.

By this I mean Arthritis, Rheumatism, Psoriasis, some Diabetes, MS, Lupus, Irritable Bowel, Asthma, possibly even Autism --as all are the same diseases in different organs.

Our immune system recognizes something it doesn't like and we get in trouble as our white blood cells pour out Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen Peroxide to dissolve it.

The reason the retroviruses turn up with autoimmune diseases is probably because as the white blood cells cause the damage to our cells, as well as removing pathogens, our cells then have to patch up the damage and grow back into the holes that were made.

Cell growth again, so the HIV test is not good for growing children.

"One of the many striking findings to come from the sequencing of the human genome is that some 45% of our DNA is composed of transposable elements such as LINE and Alu retroelements and DNA transposons. Around 8% of the genome is derived from sequences with similarity to infectious retroviruses, which can be easily recognized because all infectious retroviruses contain at least three genes, including gag (encoding structural proteins), pol (viral enzymes), and env (surface envelope proteins), as well as long terminal repeats (LTRs). The existence of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) has been known for many years, but their abundance in the genome was not predicted by earlier studies."

"The best example of a HERV with a known function is HERV-W. The envelope proteins of this HERV are thought to mediate fusion of trophoblasts, an essential step during formation of the placenta. A role in membrane fusion is not surprising since this is the role of the viral Env protein during retroviral infection following binding to a cell surface receptor."

"The clinical heterogeneity of many of the associated diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, has also been a problem, since HERVs may be involved in specific subtypes of a particular disease and such subtypes may not be recognized by current diagnostic criteria."
Endogenous retroviruses in the human genome sequence Link

Note that they are talking about lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases where our retroviruses appear.

And pregnancy.

Where does the HIV/AIDS epidemic come from in Africa and the Third World?

"A common method of measuring HIV prevalence in South Africa is by looking at HIV test results taken from pregnant women who attend antenatal clinics." HIV/AIDS in South Africa Link

From the HIV test itself. (Love this one about human and baboon placentas.)

"In normal human placental tissues, they have antigenic similarity with exogenous retroviruses, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and may have a role to play in the regulation of cellular gene expression, syncytiotrophoblast formation or pregnancy-related immunosuppression."

"The results of this study confirm the specific expression of retroviral cross- reactive antigens in normal baboon placental tissues and suggest placental cellular proteins may have antigenic similarity with those recognized by anti- HIV/SIV antibodies. The role of these retroviral-related proteins expressed at the maternal-fetal interface remain unclear." Characterization of antigens expressed in normal baboon trophoblast and cross-reactive with HIV/SIV antibodies. Link

Oh my God, I can show you these monkey studies over and over so I won't. Actually I will because it's funny.

Look here, the koala retrovirus looks like the gibbon leukemia virus.

The Nucleotide Sequence of Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) Retrovirus: a Novel Type C Endogenous Virus Related to Gibbon Ape Leukemia Virus Link

And we have antibodies to the gibbon leukemia virus. So does that mean we have antibodies to the koala retrovirus?

"Sera from healthy humans contained naturally occurring antibody against group- or subgroup-specific antigen on the envelope of the following type C viruses isolated from primates: gibbon ape leukemia virus, simian (woolly monkey) sarcoma virus, baboon endogenous type C virus, and putative human type C viruses [HL23V isolated from blood cells of a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (HL23) and HEL-12V from human embryonic diploid cells (CIH-32)]."

"The highest incidence of antibody production was in 1- to 10-year-olds and 31- to 40-year-olds, with the adults exhibiting higher levels. Differences in incidence of natural antibody were not found to be sex-linked. These findings suggest that type C RNA viruses related to the gibbon ape leukemia virus and simian (woolly monkey) sarcoma virus family as well as the baboon endogenous type C virus family may be widespread in humans." Natural Antibodies in Sera from Healthy Humans to Antigens on Surfaces of Type C RNA Viruses and Cells from Primates Link

Getting my point here, the people who give you a HIV test are really confused.

This is HERV-K, it's a very common LTR or retrovirus in our genome that appears everywhere and in this study it cross reacts with Bob's HIV antibody test.

I thought it 'was specific'?

"Furthermore we could observe a parallel HIV-1/HERV-K seroconversion, which probably is not due to an HIV-1/HERV-K-outer membrane envelope cross- reactivity." Antibodies in human sera recognizing a recombinant outer membrane protein encoded by the envelope gene of the human endogenous retrovirus K. Link

The funny comment there is it's "probably not due to an HIV-1/HERV-K-outer membrane envelope cross-reactivity", but the researchers are trying really to say "we think the study stuffed up, so we don't get in trouble for noticing they cross react".

Here again this a guy called Urnovitz, he believes another chunk of our transposable elements called ALU's which move around as well are responsible for AIDS, so like Gallo he is trying to come up with new tests for them. Are we sick of these tests yet?

Just eat some decent food.

"Data indicate that in the general population, 0.6% of low risk individuals show HERV-like antibodies compared with 27% of nonhealthy individuals," Urnovitz indicated."Standard tests are unable to differentiate between HERV-like antibodies and HIV antibodies. Furthermore, they do not provide enough information to evaluate the contribution of HERVs to HIV progression toward Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome." New Antibody Marker Could Aid Autoimmune Disease Diagnosis Link

He noticed that most of the guys with Gulf War Syndrome and people with AIDS have heaps of HERV-K antibodies. I noticed that all the autoimmune diseases have as well.

But again HERV-K also appears in the placenta, so why on Earth would it appear in the placenta and cancer cells? This is because placental cells and cancer are barely different, they are cells that need guiding.

We take the approach of poisoning cancer cells, when if we worked out how to steer them --as in pregnancy-- we might sort the problem out.

Urnovitz forgot that DNA hypomethylation is causing them to come out.

Transcription of HERV-K-related LTRs in human placenta and leukemic cells. Link

Expression of a human endogenous retrovirus, HERV-K, in the blood cells of leukemia patients. Link

Here's HERV-W in cancer too. Why does it happily do nothing wrong in the placenta but appears in cancer?

"We examined the structural genes (gag, pol and env) of the human endogenous retrovirus (HERV-W) family from 12 normal human tissues and 18 human cancer cell lines using RT-PCR." Expression of the human endogenous retrovirus HERV-W family in various human tissues and cancer cells Link

And here is why we see HERV-W in cancer cells.

L1 and HERV-W retrotransposons are hypomethylated in human ovarian carcinomas Link

DNA hypomethylation is causing the cancer. And selenium, folic acid, choline and other nutrients all help stop that from happening.

I'm proving nutrition stops AIDS and cancer here, because all the chemotherapy out there depletes selenium and it's other compound glutathione. A hundred years of donations to the cancer research foundations gave us drugs that just kept cancer at bay by shutting down all life in the body. This is why almost everyone gets a cancer reoccurrence after chemo and why AZT never stopped HIV it just terminated every living process in the body.

        Section 8

Here in Australia as in other countries pregnant women are now asked if they will do a HIV test and if they are unlucky to draw a straw in Gallo's lottery they are given AZT from around 13 weeks of the pregnancy.

The child is then given 6 weeks worth as soon as they are born. Welcome to Robert Gallo's sick and twisted world.

This is what happens to them.

"Recent studies of pregnant women and animal models have raised concerns regarding potentially serious mitochondrial toxicity-related side effects in infants born to mothers who received nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) during their pregnancy to prevent HIV-1 perinatal transmission."

"Similarly, the mean mtDNA copies per cell from the cord blood of the HIV-positive women compared with HIV-negative women was 144 +/- 101 and 865 +/- 331 ( =.0026), respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease in mtDNA copies per cell in placenta and cord blood between the HIV-infected women on NRTIs compared with HIV-negative women." Placenta and cord blood mitochondrial DNA toxicity in HIV-infected women receiving nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors during pregnancy. Link

What that blurb means is the mitochondrial DNA is so poisoned it would be amazing these women can walk.

This is a description of the effects.

"Mitochondrial damage is poorly diagnosed, and when symptoms do occur, they can run the range from mild, to severe, to life-threatening. For instance, common symptoms include fatigue, muscle weakness (myopathy), peripheral neuropathy, and pancreatitis. However, some researchers suggest that regardless of HIV serostatus, damage to mitochondria can be a possible factor in low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), anemia, and low neutrophil count (neutropenia). Furthermore, there is a significant link between damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria and the development of Type II diabetes in adults, again, regardless of HIV serostatus." Mitochondrial Damage Link

Cure for AIDS is it? Give this stuff to starving Africans and get that warm inner glow.

Or how about Nevirapine? These are the photos Thabo Mbeki had seen that turned him into a raving neo-nazi intent on denying Africans the right to life saving AIDS drugs.

Now if you were a sensible public servant and you saw this would you allow this rubbish into your country to give to your sick people? Poor Thabo, I'm amazed he didn't swear profusely at the Treatment Action Campaign stooges who are simply working for multinational drug companies.

Over here in every so called alternative media outlet reported Thabo as a madman and Nazi. I was sickened by the reporting which I saw as collaboration with a genocidal racket that will go down in history as just that. Jonathan Fishbein blew the whistle on Nevirapine this year and good on him.

Dr. Jonathan Fishbein's fight for
medical ethics in AIDS medicine. 30 Jan 2006 Link

Here is a case on one of the litigation sites getting ready to cash in on the gold rush when HIV/AIDS goes down.

"Nevirapine was dosed at 4mg per kg once a day for the first 14 days, and then 4mg per kg twice a day. On day 28 of antiretroviral therapy the boy was admitted to hospital with a two day history of ulcerative rash. Treatment with intravenous fluids, steroids and antimicrobials was provided, to which the boy initially responded. However, on day 25 of hospitalisation, he developed a fever, restlessness, altered mental state, and, probably because of sepsis, died."

'Large numbers of HIV-positive children will require therapy with nevirapine in resource-limited setting, note the investigators. Because of this, the investigators caution "the scenario we report here will become more common as ART expansion continues…additional research is needed to investigate the degree to which serious nevirapine toxicities can be predicted on the basis of genetic factors or previous toxicity in first-degree relatives."' Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Affects Mother and Son Taking Nevirapine Link

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome means your skin falls off. "…the scenario we report here will become more common as ART expansion continues…" That is a chilling statement.

This is why mothers are packing their children up and going on the run from the AIDS police.

        Section 9

So back to my point after that harrowing experience. Chemo depletes Selenium, stuffs the kidneys and liver and generally kills people. I'm talking about cancer chemo as well.

All these nutrients stop the so-called retroviruses, methylate our DNA and therefore have a huge effect on AIDS, Cancer and all autoimmune diseases. I haven't even touched on the autoimmune subject yet.

I'll show you something by Mae-Wan Ho, she's a darling of the anti-GM crowd now because she wrote a book called Living With The Fluid Genome and pointed out that shoving vaccines straight into the blood stream, stuffing around with GM crops and our food or doing a tweak or two by adding genes attached to viruses into us is nuts.

Why? Well obviously no one knows what will happen.

Look what happened to the Gulf war people who had 30 different vaccines, they became cripples. That's her point. Kids who end up with autism from vaccines, that's her point. Our scientists are mad.

"Defective or dormant HERVs, like defective retrotransposons, can become expressed when missing gene-functions are provided by a 'helper' virus that happens to infect the cell, and that includes 'attenuated' viruses in vaccines. Like retrotransposons, HERVs can also be induced: by X-rays or various chemical agents and drugs, such as inhibitors of protein synthesis, organophosphates and other pesticides, inflammatory cytokines (hormone- like factors that influence cells of the immune system) or steroid hormones, and retinoic acid."

In a comprehensive review published in 1996, virologists Howard Urnovitz and William Murphy raised the possibility that many chronic debilitating diseases may be linked to HERVs. These include leukaemia and other cancers, B-cell immunoglobulin diseases, inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, autoimmune rheumatic and connective tissue disease and chronic fatigue syndrome.
