Imagine that! An imaginary virus is resistant to imaginary AIDS drugs. Count on

this to make the not-so-imaginary pharmcos cash registers jingle.

Coconut oil.

 

Glutathione precursors.

Some of us have been telling them about such things for over a decade. The AIDS

section in Sumeria <http://www.sumeria.net/aids.html> was begun in 1992.
