New Perspectives on HIV and AIDS
Non-Toxic Resolution Through Differential Diagnosis
This study employs an effective, non-toxic approach to resolving
AIDS which has been used with success on a small group of
immune-compromised, HIV positive diagnosed patients under the care
of Dr's. Flores and Hosbein. At the basis of this approach is a
process designed by Dr. Al-Bayati PhD, known as differential diagnosis.
Differential diagnosis involves a detailed evaluation of all the medical
evidence and medical records concerning each patient. Using this
process, the specific and unique cause(s) of immune depression and
other illness are identified in each patient allowing each patient
to receive individualized care based on scientific protocols that
focus on reversing their particular illnesses
The objectives of this study are to resolve AIDS-defining
illnesses, and to return to optimal health, the HIV
positive-diagnosed patients involved in the study by providing
objective, individualized diagnosis and supportive medical care
based on sound scientific facts rather than on hypothesis and
assumption. As the medical evidence presented below and in the
published literature demonstrates, treatment protocols based on the
HIV hypothesis fail to successfully resolve AIDS illnesses or to
restore normal immune function. Moreover, this collection of data
shows that the antiviral drugs and corticosteroids currently used
in the treatment of HIV positive and AIDS diagnosed patients may
compromise immunity; exacerbate or provoke AIDS-defining illness;
inflict serious, irreparable harm; and even cause death. AIDS may be managed
like any other chronic, degenerative illness.

Covid-19: Uncensored Medical Information
Treating and Preventing HIV/AIDS By Boosting Immunity
Clinically, there is direct evidence that HIV infection is associated,
with a glutathione GSH deficiency
in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (18). The depletion of
intracellular GSH suggests an association between oxidative stress and HIV
infection. Oxidative stress may be one of the mechanisms that contribute to
disease progression and the wasting syndrome through mediators of inflammation
such as TNF-. and IL-6. During this period of progression, glutathione is
consumed owing to an increase in oxidative stress. GSH depletion, a consequence
of chronic oxidative stress, is part of the spectrum of HIV infection. GSH has,
in addition, a crucial role in lymphocyte function and cell survival.
Whey Proteins As A Food Supplement In HIV-Seropositive Individuals
PubMed
G. Bounous, S. Baruchel, J. Falutz, P. Gold, Departments of Surgery
and Medicine, The Montreal General Hospital and McGill University,
Montreal
On the basis of numerous animal experiments, a pilot
study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of
in 3 HIV-seropositive
individuals over a period of 3 months. Whey protein concentrate was
prepared so that the most thermo-sensitive proteins, such as serum
albumin which contains 6 glutamylcysteine groups, would be in
non denatured form. Whey protein powder dissolved in a drink of the
patient’s choice was drunk cold in quantities that were increased
progressively from 8.4 to 39.2 g per day. Patients took whey
proteins without adverse side effects.
In the 3 patients whose body weight had been stable in the preceding 2 months, weight gain
increased progressively between 2 and 7 kg, with 2 of the patients
reaching ideal body weight. Serum proteins, including albumin,
remained unchanged and within normal range, indicating that protein
replenishment per se was not likely the cause of increased body
weight. The glutathione content of the blood mononuclear cells was, as expected, below normal values
in all patients at the beginning of the study. Over the 3-month
period, glutathione GSH levels
increased and in one case rose by 70% to reach normal value. The
increase in body weight observed in these patients did not
correlate with increase in energy or protein intake.
A unique natural glutathione booster supplement
functioning as a cysteine delivery system
can enhance GSH synthesis in vitro and
inhibits HIV replication on a cord mononuclear cell system infected
by HTL V-IIIB (Figure 3). also inhibits the formation of
syncitium between infected and non infected cells. The inhibition of
syncitium formation occurred at the same concentration as
inhibition of HIV replication.
This viral inhibition was not associated with any cytotoxicity. This glutathione booster, via its GSH-promoting
activity, educes apoptosis in HIV-infected cells. Apoptosis was
evaluated by flow cytometry on PBMC from HIV-infected individuals
(Dr. R. Olivier, AIDS and Retrovirus., Department, Pasteur
Institute). HIV-infected PBMC cultured at concentrations of
this supplement' of I 00 ug/ml or higher were less prone to die of
apoptosis than untreated cells: 15% ± 2.6% vs. 37% ± 2.4,
p<0.001 (Figure 4).
Low Glutathione Levels Correspond to poor Survival in AIDS Patients
Glutathione deficiency is associated with impaired survival in HIV disease.
Glutathione (GSH), a cysteine-containing tripeptide, is essential for the viability
and function of virtually all cells. In vitro studies showing that low GSH levels
both promote HIV expression and impair T cell function suggested a link between
GSH depletion and HIV disease progression. Clinical studies presented here directly
demonstrate that low GSH levels predict poor survival in otherwise indistinguishable
HIV-infected subjects.
Boosting the Immune System's Natural Killer Cell
AIDS is defined as a breakdown in the body's immune system; its
victims die of diseases and infections the body can no longer
fight, such as cancer or pneumonia. Since 1984, the most widely
accepted theory is that the HIV virus is the agent that causes the immune system's disintegration.
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, a pioneering in research on cell-mediated immunity
and an expert in infectious diseases, made a revolutionary
discovery while studying tuberculosis. He determined that an
immune response
could be transferred from a donor to a recipient by
injecting an extract of white blood cells (leukocytes) from a
previously infected, now healthy person which had developed antibodies secreted by B cells of the adaptive immune system,
into a newly infected patient.
The discovery of unique natural killer cells or NK cells molecules which are
a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the education of the innate immune system.
These molecules contains a factor capable of transferring
immunity and thus modulating or boosting the immune system.
Dr. Lawrence discovered that blood cells could 'transfer'
antigen-specific cell-mediated immunity even after the cells had undergone lysis.
This lymphocyte product is sometimes referred to as "dialyzable leukocyte extract"
in the scientific literature due to being an extract from white blood cells. To
communicate between cells, the immune system employs hormone-like signal substances.
These unique nano molecules are one class of such immune system communication substances.
An early success with Immune Boosting naturally in a young man with HIV.
KG is a 20 year old with Hemophilia who contracted HIV many
years ago from "dirty" clotting factors used to treat his
Hemophilia. KG has been on many regimens for his HIV, including
most recently (within the past year), an experimental regimen with
no positive response. If anything, he suffered from many of the
side effects of retro-viral therapy.
Five months ago, KG started a high dose regimen of an immune support formula. He has remained infectious disease free
throughout his immune boosting. He also came to us with
very exciting news in 9/99: he has a ZERO viral count and an
increasing, now close to normal CD4 count of 475!!! Is Kenny out of
the woods completely? No, but he is now well on his way to possibly
being disease free.
Kenny is a peer counselor and educator for
HIV/AIDS and he is now spreading the word about this immune support formula to
members of the AIDS community. He is also a 4LR distributor and
hopes to build a huge sales organization of persons challenged with
HIV and Hepatitis C. As such, he said that he would not have to
deal with the prejudices against those infected with HIV: seems
that 4LR may just give Kenny a NEW LIFE, on many different levels.
Update (Winter 2000):
As many of you will remember, we introduced
Kenny, a hemophiliac young man who was diagnosed as HIV positive
ten years ago. After many years of experimental meds, Kenny started
taking this immune support formula in high doses
some 9 months ago.
We announced his first ZERO viral count and
almost normalized CD4 (white blood count) in our last QV
newsletter. Now three months later, he has had repeated counts of
ZERO HIV viral counts and a normal CD4 count. And continues to be
infection-free! You may have seen Kenny's story in the November
issue of Teen People Magazine. Now Kenny is sharing his
extraordinary experience with others who suffer with HIV disease.
Amazing what the immune-boosting power of this formula can do!
As for Kim, our father our 37-year-old, father of four with Hepatitis C, he continues to very
well, feeling stronger every day with virtually no GI problems
whatsoever. We await his last set of liver function tests. ID, our
11-year-old with leukemia, continues in full remission, taking
this immune support formula daily, and again,
with no infectious insults along the way. He attends school daily
and lives the life of a normal, healthy school-aged child.
Magnesium Deficiency and HIV
Several clinical studies suggest that between 30 - 65%
of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have
low levels of magnesium.
Those with low levels may be more likely to complain
of fatigue (excessive tiredness), diminished energy, and confusion.
Whether magnesium supplements would improve these symptoms in
people with HIV, however, has not been evaluated. Intravenous
magnesium is sometimes used by doctors to lower high blood pressure
in a hypertensive crisis. Using magnesium supplements (even oral
ones) for high blood pressure should only be done under the
supervision of a competent health care provider.
HIV Positive Journey into Healing
- Man Recovered his Health and his Life After He Stopped Taking the Meds
"I was found to be positive in 2002. I have always been a healthy
person and very intuitive about my health. In the couple of years
before the positive diagnosis I had been not only neglecting my
health (living an unhealthy lifestyle drinking, eating poorly, occasionally using
recreational drugs, etc), but I had come under an enormous amount
of financial and emotional stress.
Suddenly I was also given one of the most devastating diagnosis; HIV positive. It was only then that I
began to get sick. At initial diagnosis I was told, that judging from my "numbers" I'd
probably been infected for many years (though as recently as 4 years
before I'd tested negative and my girlfriend of 6 years at that
time was negative despite the fact that up to my diagnosis we had
been having unprotected sex and (often unprotected anal sex).
Within 6 months my numbers worsened. The stress was brutal. The
doctors were now practically insisting I begin medication. I had begun to
clean-up my lifestyle, but I acquiesced to the meds. Then I REALLY
began to get sick. I got so weak and sick I could not even get up
to answer the telephone, no less work. 3 months later, at my
insistence, my meds were changed. Another combination of drugs
(still including AZT in some form). This was no help. I continued
to be so sick that I could not function in any sort of daily life.
At this point, after having always lived a life that I loved, I
began to pray for death. I was so sick that this for me was not
life any more. I decided I had to do something myself or die, as
conventional medicine was failing me. I took the time to to take a
"vision quest" out in the wilderness and, as my head became
clearer, there was a clear message that the medical community was
wrong about this and I should stop the meds and seek alternate therapies.
To make a much longer story shorter; I followed my heart and
instincts, stopped the meds and began to heal, get stronger and
live again. At the same time some wonderful material found it's
way into my hands; I was blown away when I read some of
this stuff! I realized that so much of what we're being "fed" is unfounded CRAP.
This
led me even more energetically on my search for some truth and
to continue doing the best I could to care for myself and to seek
out and try any alternatives that might help. But I truly felt like
a pioneer as the only available information out there was limited,
spotty and often outdated. I began to build my own protocol; testing my own theories
and those of the so-called "dissidents", and consequently, in the last 2
years, though my so-called numbers have fluctuated somewhat, I
remain healthy, vibrant and symptom free. I have re-claimed my life.
My beautiful woman is still by my side and continues to test HIV
negative (though still, we never have unprotected sex any more). I
have compiled a list of alternative therapies, herbs, foods, and
spiritual practices that I believe is has had a major affect in my
good health. I still have a difficult time dealing with the shame
and loneliness that accompanies this "label". All the
misinformation in the name of making money has caused so much fear
that it is still very difficult to find many people that can
discuss this unbiased.
To find your website is a great gift. I
want to thank you so much for your work. You are the ones who are
really attempting to save lives and speak the truth, as opposed to
being some entity that is only really interested in having a
$40,000-$50,000 a year pharmaceutical client.
I so support your work. I don't know if there is anything I can do
to help you (and consequently to help others like me who, like me,
feel lost, alone and scared shitless and feel they are all out
there on their own if they don't buy-into conventional thinking on
this topic), but I would welcome any opportunity to help.
Please feel free to contact me, use me as a reference,
ask me to help, ask me to work and/or show me what I can do to help my
brothers and sisters in this so they are not lead down the path
of sickness, despair, isolation and hopelessness. I believe with all my heart
there are other answers to this. I am (so far) living proof. Tell me: what can I do
to help dismantle this awful machine that's been put in place in the name
of money and politics; this machine that's actually killing people?
And what can I do to help forge a new, better, healing path for those who so need it?
Low Cholesterol and HIV/AIDS
Young, unmarried men with a previous sexually transmitted disease
or liver disease run a much greater risk of becoming infected with
HIV virus than other people. The Minnesota researchers, now led by
Dr. Ami Claxton, followed such individuals for 7-8 years. After
having excluded those who became HIV-positive during the first four
years, they ended up with a group of 2446 men. At the end of the
study, 140 of these people tested positive for HIV; those who had
low cholesterol at the beginning of the study were twice as likely
to test positive for HIV compared with those with the highest
cholesterol. Similar results come from a study of the MRFIT
screenees, including more than 300,000 young and middle-aged men,
which found that 16 years after the first cholesterol analysis the
number of men whose cholesterol was lower than 160 and who had died
from AIDS was four times higher than the number of men who had died
from AIDS with a cholesterol above 240.
AIDS: A Second Opinion
argues that the AIDS drama has exposed
problematic issues having to do with the functioning of U.S.
medical institutions. Null explores a new type of health care,
grounded in patients' own choices and dispositions, that poses a
challenge to the top-down, expert-controlled medical systems
favored by the establishment.
Drawing from Dr. Null's many years of study of alternative,
traditional, and orthodox medicine as well as from interviews with
many long-term survivors, the book dissects the claims of the AZT
and drug-cocktail approach to treating AIDS and offers a trilogy of
treatment strategies based on wide views of how to enhance the
immune system and improve overall functioning.
Dr. Douglas Willen - "I first heard of this new field of
science and nutrition in February or March of 2003. As open minded
as I like to think I am, I was not very open to the information at
the time. I thought I had the field of nutrition and
supplementation down. After all, I used hundreds of products in my
office and was getting great results with most of my cases. How
could there be something out there I'd never heard of?"
I began doing the research and the reading on this subject and was
incredibly impressed with the science backing these products. Four
out of the last eight Nobel Prize winners won their prizes because of their
research in this area called glycobiology, and thousands
of new research papers are published each year in the field.
Needless to say, I have continued to use this type of nutrition in
my practice since."
"The reason I am telling you this is because many
health care practitioners, conventional allopathic doctors as well as
alternative ones, can become stagnant in their practices, convinced
that they know all there is to know. Sometimes it's not ignorance
we deal with when it comes to our practitioners, but an "assumption
of knowledge"...king of like, "the world is flat and everyone knows
that..." mentality. This kind of pride-full arrogance can be
annoying in a health care professional, but more importantly, it can
be tragic. Knowing what I know now about this incredible
nutritional technology, my only regret is that I didn't open my
mind to them 9 months sooner. You see, during that time three of my
patients passed away, from complications surrounding HIV, Hepatitis
C and cancer, that I believe could have been helped with the super
immune building properties of these nutrients."
HIV+ Long Time Survivors: Drug free approach
Edward Sherbey's personal experience of being diagnosed as HIV+ and
being a long-time survivor -- by not taking any of the anti-virus
drugs. Ed is sharing his amazing success story because he want
people to stop taking drugs TO SAVE THEIR LIVES! He firmly
believes the drugs are killing them. He says that there is not one
shred of evidence that supports that the drugs are doing anything
other than killing people. People must learn for themselves how to
take responsibility for their own lives.
"...As I write this it has been eleven years since I first got
tested....I take no medications, no medical treatments, no vitamins
or herbal supplements, just good food and ten minutes a day of the
exercise for the immune system. Had I listened to the doctors in
1988 I wouldn’t be here today. Now in my mid-fifties I have a
better body than I've ever had in my life. I thank God that I was
smart enough to "just say no" to the doctors, so
it didn’t cost me my health. If anything, as a result of what I
learned, I’m healthier today than I’ve ever been.
Toxicologist saves patients life
From Larry J. Boyd
On a personal level, I developed medication induced AIDS
from being treated with "Prednisone" at 60 mg per day for two
Months, additionally, and at the same time "Azathioprine" was being
administered at 50-150 mg per day for two weeks. Being treated with
these medications for a chronic lung fibrosis, mysteriously my CD4
T cells count reached 255/ul of blood and CD4/CD8 ratio of 0.6.
These are the hallmarks for AIDS. I was tested for the HIV three
times and the results were always the same, "negative" I also
developed fungal infections and pneumonia, additionally; these are
also hallmarks of Big "Aids."
My immune system returned to normal following four weeks
prednisone cessation. Additionally, The CD4 T cell count reached
657 per ul. I was cured from pneumonia and fungal infection
following treatment with a short Course of antibiotic and
antifungal cream. In late Dec 1997, I was given only a Few months
to live. Taking daily doses of "Alpha Lipoic Acid" over-all my
general health condition has improved. Furthermore, I can honestly
state that Dr. Al-Bayati's intervention and recommendations saved my life.
This wonderful book is for all peoples to read. Especially
individuals with AIDS, or are HIV positive, as well as persons who
are suffering from chronic illnesses and are being treated with
immunosuppressive medications. The information presented can save
your life, furthermore, your vital resources. This book absolutely
contains the most valuable information ever written." Larry J. Boyd
A Homeopathic Perspective on AIDS
Dana Ullman, M.P.H.;
As horrific as the AIDS epidemic is, it has had one silver
lining: it has implanted into the awareness of the medical
community and the general public the importance of the body's
immune system. Prior to the emergence of AIDS, few people were
familiar with or cared about the immune system.;
Now more than ever, the general public is interested in
exploring ways to bolster immune response to prevent the
progression of AIDS, as well as to reduce the number and intensity
of opportunistic infections and to improve the overall state of
their health. The medical community, however, has focused its AIDS
resources on creating antiviral medications, which despite great
hope and expectation have not achieved the results anticipated. In
fact, the leading AIDS drug, AZT, has been found to prolong the
lives of people with AIDS by only seven or eight months,1 but due
to its side effects, the quality of life during this time is not high.
What is yet to be understood by the medical community is that
they need to direct more attention and research to ways to augment
immune response, rather than ways to inhibit viral replication. By
strengthening a person's own defenses, the body is best enabled to defend itself.
Homeopathy is one way
to do this. Although no therapy can or will help every HIV+ person
or everyone with AIDS, homeopathy is beginning to develop a
reputation for helping people at varying stages of this disease. To
understand what homeopathy has to offer, it is necessary to learn
something about a different approach to infectious disease than
simply attacking a pathogen.
Vitamin A reduced HIV transmission to offspring
excerpt from Positive Health News)
Vitamin A: In a study in Africa (Lancet, June 25, 1994, page
1593), pregnant women with the highest serum levels of Vitamin A
reduced HIV transmission to their offspring to 7% compared to those
with the lowest blood levels of Vitamin A who had a HIV
transmission rate of 32% to their offspring.
The authors of the article, Semba, Miotti, Saah at al, wrote: The underlying
biological mechanisms concerning vitamin A in mother-to-child
transmission may include the essential role vitamin A plays in
immunity and maintenance of mucosal surfaces...Lack of vitamin A is
associated with compromised T-cell and B-cell function which may
contribute to higher viral loads...In contrast, a study with
AZT(Zidovudine), in HIV+ pregnant women showed that the group
receiving the AZT reduced the rate of HIV transmission to 8.3%
compared to 25.5% in the control; group. Vitamin A certainly
was as effective as AZT in reducing the rate of HIV transmission.
The unasked question is whether vitamin A reduced the rate of HIV
transmission because it activated the immune system to produce more
white blood cells which in; turn produced antibodies to
inactivate the HIV virus. On a side note, one person I spoke with
recently told me that several years ago, when he had low white
blood cells, his physician prescribed vitamin A supplementation to
build up the white blood cells. He told me his white blood cells
returned to normal values. Increasing white blood cell counts
through vitamin A supplementation, suntanning or through the use of
the drug, Neupogen, available from your Physician, increases White
Blood Cells, the foundation of most immune system cells. Shark
Liver Oil increases the production of gamma interferon, which
increases CD4 counts.
Dr. Richard Schulze -
"To cure AIDS, its a total life style change --- not a drug or a
pill. Natural healing can cure AIDS. But if you are looking for one
special anti-viral herb to solve this disease, you’re as nuts as
the doctors. How stupid can these experts be (and the patients,
too), to believe that a single drug, a chemical on its lonesome,
can cure a total body breakdown? We don't need any more research
money to cure AIDS. In case you are groggy or dense and didn't get
my point, I will repeat it: AIDS can be cured. Right now. Forget
the DNA research. Forget the emotional fund-raisers. They're not
necessary. It can also save those who are skin and bone and sores
and diarrhea. If you follow all this information, you can end up
cured and HIV-negative. Sympathy and understanding cannot cure
AIDS. This information will cure but, only if you use it with
all your heart and soul. If people would live right, eat right,
think right, use natural self healing, and stop taking all drugs, the
AIDS epidemic would end."
Healing AIDS by Strengthening the Immune System
Dana Ullman, M.P.H.;
"Now more than ever, the general public is interested in
exploring ways to bolster immune response to prevent the
progression of AIDS, as well as to reduce the number and intensity
of opportunistic infections and to improve the overall state of
their health. The medical community, however, has focused its AIDS
resources on creating antiviral medications, which despite great

fact, the leading AIDS drug AZT, astonishing facts has been found

Bitter Melon useful for Treating HIV Infection and Tumors
Common names and their associated cultures are:
- Bitter melon: Oriental immigrants to the US
- Bitterweed: Southeastern US
- Cajun "traeteur" of Louisiana, USA
- Serasee: Carribean islands
- Carillon: Latin America
- Kukakaya: India
- Ampalayo -- Phillipines
- Kho Qua: Vietnam
- Also: BalsamPear, Boston Apple, Bitter Gourd, Bitter Cucumber, Concombre Amer
The bitter melon plant has been used in China as a treatment for
diabetes, tumors, and immune disorders. In Asia and in the U.S.,
there has been community interest in the use of the plant as an
alternative therapy for AIDS. The Bitter Melon Therapy Group, based
in Los Angeles, has been organizing tests on AIDS patients and
recently claimed encouraging results.;
In 1990, a research team led by Sylvia Le-Huang of New York
University School of Medicine, Hao-Chia Chen at the National
Institutes of Health, and Hsiang-Fu Kung at National Cancer
Institute isolated a protein, MAP 30, from bitter melon and found
it has multiple functions that are responsible for its anti-HIV
activity. Last year, they reported the finding that the MAP protein
is able to inhibit HIV-1 integrase, an enzyme essential for gene
expression of the virus.
Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) is a plant/fruit that
belongings to the family cucurbitacea. Chinese cucumber, the
plant/fruit from which compound Q (a.k.a. GLQ 223 and tricosanthin)
is extracted, also belongs to this family. Bitter melon, also known
as bitter gourd, bitter pear melon, karela, ampalaya, balsam pear,
bitter apple, wild cucumber, cindeamor, carilla plant, African
cucumber, margose, concombre African, and the herbs Kuguazi (China)
and Karela (Pakistan), is common in Asia as well as in Southern
California and southern Florida. This leafy plant bears fruit which
looks like a bumpy cucumber. The fruit, seed,leaves,
flowers, stems, and roots of
this plant have been used in Chinese medicine for treating
gastrointestinal infections, as an appetite stimulant, to decrease
blood sugar in diabetics, and to induce abortion in mid-term
pregnancy. More recently, research has shown that bitter melon may
be useful as treatment against cancer and HIV/AIDS.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong discovered alpha- and
beta-momarchorin, two proteins that inhibit HIV. A researcher at
the University of New York discovered another HIV-inhibitory
protein, MAP 30, which has been shown to inhibit reverse
transcriptase and p24 expression, with very little effect on
uninfected cells. A recent report on MAP 30 has shown that it may
also inhibit HIV through destroying viral DNA. All three of these
proteins have been extracted from the seeds of the fruit. These and
other proteins that have been extracted have been categorized as
Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins (RIPs). (Ribosomes are proteins
necessary for the replication of viruses.) Ribosome-Inactivating
Proteins, which are also present in Compound Q (GLQ 223), have been
shown to inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV-l)
and polio virus. Therefore, bitter melon may have similar
HIV-inhibitory properties to GLQ 223 but with much less toxicity.
The abortion-inducing properties of bitter melon and GLQ 223
work by preventing the interaction of syncytial cells in the
placenta This same mechanism may prevent cell-to-cell infection,
known as the syncytium formation.
Extracts from the whole fruit have been shown to have
anti-cancer properties in mice. The authors of this study suggest
that the anti-cancer properties may be due in part to an
enhancement of immune function induced by the bitter melon. Another
study has shown that bitter melon extracts suppressed lymphocyte
proliferation and macrophage and lymphocyte activity in mice.
Caution: A pregnant woman should not use momordica, as it
has been used as an ingredient in some abortifacent mixtures. Be
careful in a case of active diabetes, as serasee (bitter melon)
masks the sugar output in the urine.; Watch the diabetic's
condition some other way. Serasee is believed to work in a holistic
manner.; It is believed to work best if your food and water
are clean and natural, and your heart and mind are pure.; If
you eat foods with a lot of chemicals it won't work so well.;
If you are full of toxins, use sparingly at first, as purification
reactions may be strong. Mormodica works from the subtlest levels
to adjust you toward health, and works best with your total
cooperation in the way of diet, attitude, etc.; This is why no
chemical extracts or synthetics should be made from momordica.
The Emergence of Bitter Melon in the Western World
Being Alive Newsletter, Being Alive/Los Angeles - June 1992;
Lori Levine First introduced to the HIV community by Stanley
Rebultan at a Town Hall Meeting in West Hollywood in the spring of
1991, bitter melon's reputation and usage in Los Angeles has grown
considerably. Since then, many HIV+ individuals have reported
success with their lab tests and heightened general well being as a
result of using this alternative home remedy.

"What is AIDS"
by Martin Lara
"Many scientist explained that HIV is not a virus, on the
contrary HIV a harmless piece of dead matter known as a retrovirus
that cannot reproduce itself or cause any damage to the cells it
becomes part of. HIV does not have DNA, it is a piece of RNA and
these particles are all over the universe. No one knows what being
HIV+ means, specially after the HIV test was declared invalid in
June of 1993, therefore no one knows for sure what is the
relationship between HIV and AIDS. This information was front page
news in THE SUNDAY TIMES of London, however it was not newsworthy
in the United States."
"... Another blow to this absurd hypothesis is the appearance of
individuals who have AIDS-related opportunistic infections, but
don't have the HIV virus or the HIV antibodies. Back in 1994, there
were 6,000 documented cases in the United States of individuals who
were sick or had been sick with AIDS-related opportunistic
infections, but they were HIV negative. Initially, doctors had no
explanation for them, but during the Amsterdam Worldwide AIDS
Conference they created a whole new hypothesis claiming that the
virus had mutated and detecting it was even more difficult. " I
hope you will take the time to read the rest of this
incredibly revealing article
Cocktail Hangover
by Frank Green
Many grass-roots groups, many of which are led by healthy
HIV-positive people, emphasize three things: They point out that
HIV tests are non-specific and can cross-react with other viruses
and physical conditions, including pregnancy, so a positive test
result doesn’t necessarily mean that a person harbors HIV. They
endorse the notion that HIV has not been proven to cause AIDS. And
they question the wisdom of taking AZT, protease inhibitors and
other AIDS drugs, insisting that they’re not only unnecessary, but
dangerous.
A growing number of scientists world-wide have publicly
denounced the total failure of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis, questioned
the meaning of the "AIDS test", and criticized the use of AZT which
has been proven to be a toxic poison that makes the patient sicker
and is actually the cause of AIDS deaths. The group includes
scientists such as Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for
chemistry in 1993 for inventing the polymerase chain reaction used
to test for HIV.
A theory has been floating around for several years that AIDS
and other diseases were created and spread by scientists, and some
versions even suggest that this was done intentionally to eradicate
certain segments of the population. A recent study published in the
prestigious medical journal Lancet provides some evidence to
support at least part of that theory.
After ten months on AZT, I was sick all the time
"I was required by law to take an HIV test in June 1995. The test
is mandatory in Colorado for pregnant women, and I was expecting my
second child. I was shocked when the result came back positive,
because I’d been married and monogamous for nine years. I
started taking AZT in my fifth month. After ten months on AZT, I
was sick all the time. I had constant diarrhea, nausea, fever,
night sweats and was totally exhausted. I was crawling to the
bathroom and vomiting for hours. My doctor told me the HIV was
making me ill, and that the virus had mutated into a form that was
resistant to AZT. Further drugs turned my skin yellow with
jaundice. Since it was clear that the drugs weren’t keeping me from
getting AIDS and were actually destroying my liver, I let my
prescription run out. I figured I’d rather die from AIDS than liver failure.
Almost immediately after I stopped taking my medicines, within a
matter of days I started to feel much better….
My daughter is considered a success by medical standards because
she tests negative, but I don’t care about HIV anymore. I am
concerned about the effects of the AZT she was poisoned with while
I was pregnant. Rachel has an enlarged cranium, seizures and a
strange deformity near the base of her spine. At age three she
still does not speak. I went to this conference on HIV and
pregnancy at The Children’s Hospital here in Denver. A lot of
mothers there had taken AZT during pregnancy and had their kids
with them. Every single one of those kids had enlarged craniums.
Their heads looked exactly like Rachel’s. They’re all AZT babies.
I’m working now to repeal Colorado’s mandatory [HIV] testing law."
Shirley - Often, when there are
controversial subjects, wherein so called
experts disagree, I will give information about and links to
opposing points of view. In this way I feel that you can then make
your own decision and choices. A problem with corporate
controlled mainstream media is that stifle information; they
present one point of view which becomes propaganda. They seem to be
afraid of allowing the public equal access to other points of view.
I have no fear of this because I believe that the truth will win out.
