Bolstering the immune system is exactly the right path to follow. But you touch on the keystone of this whole situation. If HIV doesn't cause AIDS then what does? What makes some lymphoma AIDS and other lymphoma lymphoma? And why should they be treated differently by the medical community?
It seems to me that if I go to the hospital with lymphoma but hiv negative they treat me for lymphoma and I get better. But if I go in hiv positive they treat me for AIDS and I die.
Maybe some newer drugs bolster the immune system but the biggest one, AZT, absolutely does not. AZT is a drug that searches out cells about to divide and attacks them, stopping the division and killing the cell. The thinking behind this is that this will stop the 'spread' of hiv cells stopping the disease. But it knows nothing of the difference between the types of cells in the body, attacking all cells. So take a sick person with a compromised immune system and give them a drug that attacks every cell in the body, brain, heart, kidneys, immune system, bone marrow, etc. Is it any wonder they drop like flies? This stuff is pure poison.
Thanks for the advice. In the future I'll do my best to ignore facts and apply myself to what 'everybody' believes and knows to be the truth. To start I'll do an historical review....
The earth is flat.
Blacks are genetically inferior.
Pearl Harbor was a surprise.
Witches cause bad crops.
Jews are genetically inferior.
and now...
HIV causes AIDS.
Thanks, I feel a lot better now.
BTW, I have no problem with people working on answers, but the answers to this problem are behavioral not viral.
Greed as I understand it, is the unscrupulous desire for somebody else's money. Selling a product on the free market benefits all parties and hardly qualifies as greed.
True Story!!
HIV is nothing new, probably been with the human race thousands of years.
AIDS is a syndrome, not a disease.
AIDS, the syndrome, is made up of 30 or so previously existing diseases, pnuemonia, lymphoma, etc.
HIV negative people die of AIDS, too.
The common link between AIDS patients is not HIV, but a compromised immune system.
This is the tip of the iceberg here, if you want to learn more, please read Inventing the Aids Virus by Dr. Peter Duesberg, available through the standard channels.
