This week host Iyapo Ngina will talk with Dr. Peter Duesberg, Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of California at Berkeley about HIV and AIDS. Dr. Duesberg was a member of the scientific and medical panel convened by the government in South Africa in 2000 to review the cause and treatment of AIDS.

Dr. Duesberg contends that the range of illnesses attributed to AIDS in Africa are not caused by a virus, but by the severe poverty, malnutrition and poisonous environmental conditions faced by the people. He says that these conditions are only worsened by the toxicity of commonly used AIDS drugs like AZT.

this article was made with forged documents

By Nessie

An actual agent will often point the finger at a genuine, non-collaborating and highly valued group member, claiming that he or she is the infiltrator. The same effect, known as a "snitch jacket", has been achieved by planting forged documents . . .

Aids sceptism, old news!

12.06.2007 22:17

Whilst the AIDs sceptics contine to deny the link between HIV and AIDs the deaths continue. Death from HIV in the west is uncommon since anti retrovirals became available. The story in Sub Saharan Africa is in stark contrast to this 2 million (plus) of preventable deaths each year. Access to treatment is what people living with HIV need , not another debate about whether HIV leads to AIDS. The HIV denialists in South Africa provided the governent with a good excuse not to fund treatment with disastrous consequences.
Break the patents, provide the treatment to all those infected who need it!
