Is The AIDS Virus A Science Fiction? Immunosuppressive Behavior, Not HIV, May Be the Cause of AIDS
Abstract
A report published by the Centers for Control (CDC) on June 5, 1981, startled the medical community in the United States. This report described five unusual medical cases that had been observed between October, 1980 and May, 1981. All five had developed cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. P. carinii is a microbe present in the lungs of most healthy people, but can cause sickness when the host immune system has somehow been severely weakened. Immunosuppression in these cases was confirmed by the presence of various other opportunistic infections. Medical authorities were most surprised at the identity of the patients: these cases with severe immune collapse all involved 20-to-40-year-old men, typically considered a healthy age group. Further, all of these men were homosexual. A subsequent report by the CDC on August 28 listed 21 additional cases showing similar severe immune suppression problems. Along with P. carinii pneumonia, esophagal candidiasis (a yeast infection), and other diseases typical of immune deficiencies, a number of these patients displayed a rare condition known as Kaposi's sarcoma. This is a growth in the blood vessel linings, manifesting as reddish lesions on the skin. The CDC referred to these new patients with strange combinations of conditions as "previously healthy homosexual men." Since growing numbers of healthy men should not simultaneously develop severe sickness, the full complement of observed in them was grouped together into a syndrome presumed to have some single underlying cause; first called Gay_related Immune Deficiency (GRID), the syndrome eventually became known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. Since this syndrome was first defined, over 130,000 Americans have been diagnosed with AIDS, and over 80,000 of these have died. Male homosexuals continue to comprise the major risk group for AIDS, but intravenous drug users, blood transfusion recipients, and hemophiliacs also have been included as AIDS victims. Since 1981, the list of indicator diseases for diagnosing AIDS has been expanded by the CDC to include P. carinii pneumonia, tuberculosis, Kaposi's sarcoma, dementia, lymphoma, candidiasis, diarrhea-altogether 25 conventional diseases. The most commonly diagnoses of these is P. carinii pneumonia, found in about 53 percent of new AIDS cases last year, followed by wasting syndrome in 19 percent, candidiasis in 13 percent, Kaposi's sarcoma in 11 percent, and dementia in 6 percent.
... Reading 2 discusses the role of HIV as the underlying cause of AIDS. HIV is a retrovirus which was discovered by a French scientist in 1983, isolated in 1984 and finally named as HIV in 1986 (cited in Duesberg and Ellison 1990a). However, it was not until the publication of a joint report, published by the US National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, that HIV as the cause of AIDS was first confirmed (cited in Duesberg and Ellison 1990a). ...

... However, these claims have been challenged by some scientists, notably including Peter Duesberg, who is Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of California at Berkeley. Since the late 1980s, Duesberg has consistently challenged the theory that HIV is the cause of AIDS (see for example, Duesberg 1988;Duesberg and Ellison 1990a;Duesberg and Ellison 1990b;Duesberg and Rasnik 1998). He argues that HIV is irrelevant to AIDS and offers various other explanations, including the idea that long term recreational drug use and/or the use of powerful antiretroviral medicines to combat HIV/AIDS could be the cause (source: http://www.duesberg.com). ...
This paper was produced in 2002 for the now discontinued Open University course S802, Science and the public. This booklet examines key historical and contemporary issues which have influenced responses to the HIV/AIDS global pandemic. The booklet examines the role of scientific controversy and the status of scientific knowledge. It documents examples of political intervention and economic factors that influenced scientific debates on the links between HIV and AIDS and how drugs to combat this diseases have been researched, developed and marketed. A key aim of this booklet is to examine the relationship between science and the public from perspectives which range through individual, local, regional, national and global contexts.
AIDS is a set of symptoms or syndrome, cause by HIV. AIDS stands for 'Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome' and HIV 'Human Immune Deficiency Virus'. This disease damages the immune system has great extent and makes the body prone to infections and diseases. The susceptibility of the body to diseases increases if the syndrome progresses. AIDS is also referred to as advance HIV infection or late stage of HIV. People with HIV may develop AIDS if not diagnosed until late or don't consistently take their antiretroviral therapy. The AIDS virus and AIDS symbiotic pathogens immunity suppressing moieties in humans is demolished by the use of the diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetra silver tetroxide Ag4O4. A single intravenous injection is required for the efficiency of the level 40 ppm of the human blood. The device accommodates 2 mono silver ions and 2 trivalent silver ions which is competent of firing and electrocuting the AIDS virus, pathogens and other ISM into the blood stream the electron triggered by a pathogen. When a proliferating virus and ISM fired continuously in a redox chelation mechanism then the resulting became a divalent silver moiety which binds to the active sites and destroy all of them. These devices are through innocuous and environmentally safe but yet, it may apply stress in liver which causes hepatomegaly, but keeps the liver function unaffected.
The epidemiology of AIDS in Africa is discussed. Serological and clinical data on virology and population genetics are related to current theories of heterosexual transmission and to cultural practices involving the exchange or transmission of body fluids between individuals, such as female and male genital mutilation and indigenous or 'folk' medicine, as well as non-Western medical uses of medical syringes. A review of the relationship of autoimmune conditions, graft-vs-host disease and the retrovirus/oncogene involvement is presented. These data place in a new perspective concepts of widespread heterosexual infection and transmission of HIVs as well as their relation to AIDS in the context of the evolution of the human immune system.
