I'm not saying that the hiv virus doesn't exist or that lots of people aren't suffering from immune system suppression. But what I am saying is that the label "AIDS" is rather loosely applied to a great number of people who are really only suffering from correctable biological side effects of making poor lifestyle decisions (food choice, diet, lack of exercise, use of recreational drugs). If you'd like to see some supporting information from doctors and researchers who have looked into the AIDS question in great detail, check out Dr. Peter Duesberg's website. Dr.

Calan-olide A, isolated from the fruit and twigs of Calophyllum lanigerum, is a coumarin that inhibits the activity of the reverse transcriptase enzyme which is an important molecule in the hiv virus. These structures are shown in Figure 4.22. Furanocoumarins The furanocoumarins are photoreactive relatives of coumarins. These molecules can produce photodermatitis when the plant oils, containing furanocoumarins, get on the skin. Subsequent exposure to sunlight causes irritation and sometimes blisters. A long-lasting hyperpigmentation may also result.

It is known that the measles virus often suppresses the immune system, much like the hiv virus or HHV-6 virus. When I say "suppressed," I should make clear that not all of the immune system is suppressed; the component that kills viruses is suppressed, but the system that causes misdirected immune attack, called autoimmunity, is overactive. When children are vaccinated using combined vaccines, such as DPaT and MMR, they are more likely to suffer immune suppression. This allows the measles virus to survive and inhabit the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract and even the nervous system.

It gives us a clue into how even the hiv virus works because these viruses can divert enough of this NF-KB for their own purposes and undermine the whole defensive system of the body. NF-KB is present in many of the cells of the body, but most important, in the immunological defense systems, particularly in monocytes, macrophages, B cells, and T cells. Ultraviolet light, gamma radiation, x-rays, low oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and oxidized lipids can cause an activation of the NF-KB factor.

The virus was grown in kidney cells from the green monkey, the same monkey suspected as being the source of the hiv virus. Only years later were we to learn that the monkey cells were contaminated with the SV-40 virus, a virus that causes a very malignant tumor, called a sarcoma, in animals. Vaccines... • activate microglia. • stimulate excitotoxicity. • cause leaky gut syndrome. • encourage release of neuroactive food components. • promote yeast infections. • deplete vital nutrients. • precipitate abnormal brain-pathway development. • destroy dendritic connections. • deplete DHA.

Only later, in 1985, was it discovered that one of the contaminating viruses was the simian immunodeficiency virus SIV, very similar to the hiv virus. Even more shocking was the discovery that the FDA, as early as 1977, believed that retroviruses could have contaminated the vaccine. Yet, they released it for use on an unsuspecting public anyway. Dr. John Martin discovered that the polio vaccine was also contaminated with another green monkey virus called cytomegalovirus.

AIDS: INTRIGUING POSSIBILITIES There is no concrete evidence in humans that the hiv virus (the reputed cause of AIDS) can be prevented, slowed down or stopped by food substances. But there are some intriguing possibilities from lab experiments. Also, certain foods and food compounds may help boost immune functioning, helping ward off some of the other diseases and infections associated with AIDS. Vegetable Virus Stoppers In test tubes, two food compounds have blocked the spread of the HIV virus—vitamin C and glutathione, a strong antioxidant, concentrated in fruits and vegetables.

As you may know, people who are infected with the hiv virus typically do not develop any symptoms from their disease until eight to fifteen years after being infected. Many patients do not even realize they have AIDS until they become ill. In the 1980s and 1990s people were just beginning to learn what AIDS was all about—the hard way. Without any treatment, patients had a life expectancy of only eighteen to thirty months after becoming symptomatic from their HIV infection.

Watson, none of the blood or blood products given to patients during the early 1980s was tested for this hiv virus, but we now have reason to believe it can be transmitted through blood transfusions." Choking sobs came through the phone. "Mrs. Watson, we need Jeremy to come in for testing." The AIDS epidemic became known in the early 1980s, but the true cause was not fully identified until the middle of the decade. Unknowingly, many hemophiliacs across our nation were infected and developed AIDS. Jeremy was one of them; he tested positive in 1986.

A drug to which the patient's hiv virus is resistant would not be chosen. A single drug may be changed in the absence of virologic failure (viral load count too high), such as for adverse drug effects or inability to comply with the complex regimen. Virologic failure can also occur with noncompliance to the regimen, and, in this case, it is also acceptable to change one dmg to another dmg of similar or higher potency. If the patient has persistently high viral load levels, this usually indicates drug resistance. The best approach to this situation is to change all dmgs in the regimen.

Raxit Jariwalla from the Linus Pauling Institute in California has shown vitamin C's ability to suppress the hiv virus in laboratory cultures of infected cells. He found that with continuous exposure to ascorbic acid (vitamin C), in concentrations not harmful to cells, the growth of HIV in immune cells could be reduced by 99.5 percent. Dr. Jariwalla suggests that in healthy humans a daily dose of at least 10 g is needed for an antiviral effect. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), an altered form of the amino acid cysteine that is a powerful antioxidant, has also been found to have antiviral properties.

In AIDS, the hiv virus selectively destroys T-helpers, resulting in too many T-suppressors, which depress the immune system, leaving the sufferer susceptible to other infections. Macrophages finish off the battle by completely engulfing and digesting the invader that has been identified by B and T cells. This action is called phagocytosis. Phagocytic cells that operate in the blood are called monocytes, while those that operate in other tissues are called macrophages. The immune battleground At any time, there are a small number of immune cells roaming the body.

Potent inhibition of the hiv virus was reported by scientists at Harvard's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.20 Remarkably, turmeric has been able to increase the CD4 count in AIDS patients. (Also called helper T cells, CD4 cells are white blood cells that are required to fight infection, but are killed by the hiv virus.)21 The hepatitis virus also seems to fall victim to turmeric's power.22 Turmeric's bug-busting ability is one reason it has been used for centuries to treat wounds. It seems to have an impressive ability to reduce pain and inflammation.

HOW IS AIDS SPREAD? The hiv virus is difficult to catch. The virus is found in most body fluids (blood, semen, tears, breast milk) and in blood in urine, feces, and saliva. It is spread when the virus comes into direct contact with the recipient's bloodstream, i.e., through cuts and abrasions. Apart from the circumstances of sexual abuse, or contracting HIV at birth through infected parents, the possibility of a child catching HIV is still very low. HOW AIDS IS NOT SPREAD The hiv virus has been found in dried material, but only in extremely small quantities.

He points out that the hiv virus that causes AIDS depletes selenium. When a cell's selenium supply is still high, the hiv virus creates a protein to repress itself. But when selenium levels have been depleted, the virus replicates itself and breaks out of its cells to search for more selenium. Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, professor of biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego, has noticed a similar phenomenon. "As long as there is enough selenium around in the cells, the virus behaves itself," he comments.

Maitake's anti-HIV effect prevents the hiv virus from destroying T cells. Extensive testing of maitake on cancer patients has shown a dramatic reduction of tumors and other symptoms. In one study, the side effects of chemotherapy (vomiting, loss of appetite, hair loss) were improved in 90 percent of the patients using maitakes. Research has further confirmed maitake as an effective remedy for high blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol, cardiovascular and liver disorders, Candida, constipation, and obesity. In addition, maitake helps regulate endocrine functions.

C slows the growth of the hiv virus in test-tube experiments [54]. Moreover, the level of vitamin C is lowered in the brain of patients who died of AIDS. The investigators suggest that vitamin C has two roles in AIDS: the first is to raise the level of the antioxidant defenses, and the second may be to kill the hiv virus. AIDS patients with low levels of vitamins A, beta-carotene, B6, and B12 have a poor prognosis, and supplements of these vitamins increase the survival rate [212].

Even after subtracting the deaths caused by the hiv virus, it's still up by 22 percent. Most of these deaths are caused by infections in the lungs and the blood that are resistant to antibiotics. By using antibiotics as a cure-all, the magic bullet has come back to hit us. Every time we take antibiotics, we are giving harmful bacteria a new opportunity to become resistant. The consequence of this is that many antibiotics are useless.

Infection by hiv virus may lead to AIDS, but is believed to be not the sole cause of the disease. It strikes by ravaging the body's defence system, destroying natural immunity by invading the white blood cells and producing an excess of 'suppressant' cells. It savages the very cells that under normal circumstances would defend the body against the virus. Notifiable disease. Hospitalisation. AIDS does not kill. By lacking an effective body defence system a person usually dies from another infection such as a rare kind of pneumonia.

Lentinan is being studied also for its ability to fight the hiv virus. After four weeks of twice weekly oral administration of 1 milligram of lentinan, mice exhibited significantly higher levels of helper T-cells, which help other cells destroy infective organisms and lower levels of suppressor T-cells, which suppress the action of other immune cells, than did the mice in the control group. A human study of eleven adults who ingested 0.2 milligram of powdered lentinan daily revealed a higher percentage of active T-cells than those in the control group, who were not using the shiitake extract.

An in vitro study demonstrated that saponins isolated from soybeans exhibited potent antiviral effects on the hiv virus. Saponin Bl completely inhibited HIV-induced cytopathic changes and virus-specific antigen expression within 6 days of infection. Saponin B2 exhibited similar, although less potent, effects.30 Phytates Although phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate) has been implicated in blocking the absorption of minerals, the phytate content of plants, including soy, seems to be responsible for some of the anti-cancer properties of vegetable-based foods.

There are some people on whom the virus appears to be ineffective. The hiv virus is transmitted by infected body fluids, e.g. semen, blood or by transfusion. A number of co-factors are necessary for AIDS to develop: diet, environment, immoral lifestyle, drugs, etc also dispose to the disease which, when eliminated, suggest that AIDS needs not be fatal. However, there is no known cure. Smoking hastens onset. Causes include needle-sharing and sexual contacts. Also known as the 'Gay Plague' it can be transmitted from one member of the family to another non-sexual contact.

As you probably know, the hiv virus, which causes AIDS, specifically targets disease-fighting T-cells, leaving the body defenseless against infection. Studies conducted by both the Japan National Institute of Health and the U.S. National Cancer Institute have verified that maitake extract can prevent the destruction of T-cells by HIV as much as 97 percent. In fact, some physicians are already using maitake extract successfully along with other therapies on AIDS patients. Maitake is not only useful in illness but can fortify the immune system so that you can resist disease in the first place.
