Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Monte, I can see where you are coming from. But you have been deceived as have millions of other people on the AIDS issue. I don't know of any heterosexuals who have been diagnosed with AIDS in my group of acquaintances. There is so much to this issue, but the problem is that the people on this forum are not taking the time to educate themselves to the alternatives. Again I'll put the link of the website that can answer many of your questions. http://www.virusmyth.net/aids/index.htm What people don't know is that they named AIDS a syndrome and not as a disease. This was convenient for them because they keep on pilling on new symptoms all the time. It's lots of old diseases combined together. The millions of people in Africa who supposedly have AIDS are just other diseases simply renamed. Diseases that have always been there in Africa. This is somewhat frustrating to me because I am quite familiar with both sides of the argument, but most people here seem to only know what the drug makers want them to know. The AIDS Myth is being propagated for greed alone. The medicines they give people are actually carcinogenic and say it on their warning labels. How is that supposed to heal anyone? From my perspective it's the world gone mad. You have to inform yourself because you are falling for the drug company propaganda. I can't give a substantial argument here because it would take too long. But being close to New York city and a huge gay and raw community I have learned much about this. A book that discusses the AIDS problem in Africa is " The Nature and Purpose of Disease, " by Henry L.N. Anderson. He explains how it's all a big cover-up. Also the " Why We Will Never Win the War Against AIDS, " by Peter Duesberg. This stuff is important for people to know because you have to know how these drug companies work. They'll constantly try to fool you into thinking you or someone you love needs their useless drugs. And they are quite successful at this. While their drugs are more damaging than the so-called AIDS itself. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 My comments were not about AIDS being or not being caused by the HIV virus. I was stating that it was a bigoted and uneducated viewpoint to say that only homosexuals and drug addicts get AIDS. [RH] Actually that is (or was) pretty much the viewpoint of Peter H. Duesberg, professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. He was hired to do research on AIDS and eventually discovered it was a sham. Duesberg also had some other categories of people who would get AIDS. But he found that the main people getting AIDS were the ones who were heavy drug users and people who had taken blood in an operation. It is known that blood transfusions are often quite dangerous. It isn't because of any virus but that the body tends to reject blood besides its own. There are several investigators who feel that people are getting AIDS from immune compromising activities. Like a very poor diet and from to many different drugs legal and illegal in their systems. Not only the drugs but their interactions with each other inside the body can lead to so-called AIDS symptoms. +++++ I have friends who have AIDS and who have died of AIDS. And not all of them belong to one of those groups. AIDS is rampant in Africa where it's mostly contracted by hetrosexuals. [RH] I know someone who was diagnosed with AIDS and who it turns out never had actually had it. The test to determine if you have AIDS is actually subjective. Depending on how you answer certain questions and in which country you are taking the test will determine if you have AIDS. The point is that not one single person on the planet has AIDS to begin with. There are however many people who have comprised immune systems from living lives against the laws of nature. The actual test for AIDS measures certain proteins in the blood. If you have a certain number of them they consider you to have AIDS. But that is only if you fall into certain high risk groups. Other people can have those proteins in their blood but not be considered to have AIDS. Once you get educated on the alternative theories you may realize that AIDS is a first class money making scheme. It is making the drug companies millions of dollars. They are pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. +++++ I'm not saying that the spread of the disease wasn't sped up by gay men and IV drug users - that's clearly where the infection snowballed in the early 1980's. But that was over 20 years ago and it's not the case today. And to push an antiquated view of the disease is a dangerous and irresponsible thing to do, regardless of what causes it or how it's treated in allopathic medicine. [RH] Yes I agree and I think you are doing just that. (I'm sure you are however doing it with the best of intentions.) In my opinion, I believe your information to be incorrect on AIDS. Of course, this is what most people believe and are told about AIDS. But I have a different understanding on this than the average person, due to multiple sources of knowledge on this AIDS Hoax. +++++ Even the man who discovered the HIV virus said on his deathbed that his theory was probably bunk. I'm not questioning that. What is truly upsetting to me is that there are actually people on this planet who are so ignorant as to call an epidemic that has killed millions of people a gay men's or drug user's disease. [RH] This is not ignorance, this is understanding. It is not bigoted to say these things if one believes they are scientifically based. Again the with the gay men it was only the gay men who were intense drug users. Taking those poppers, etc. +++++ It has nothing to do with political correctness. It has to do with compassion. And risking the backlash of not being compassionate myself, I have to say that the comments I read on this board earlier today made me sick to my stomach. [RH] So far I haven't read anything that has made me sick to my stomach. But I have read many posts that I believe to be ignorant on the facts. I don't see anyone acting in a bigoted manner in the past few days. Debate the germ theory all you like. I'm all for it. In fact, I'll join in. But if you're going to throw religion or bigotry into the mix, take it somewhere else. This isn't the place for it, and at least on this end, it's completely unwelcome. [RH] Well I'm glad you're back with the group. If you just ignore the group for a few days then this issue will die down and you won't have to pay attention to it anyway. [RH] Take care, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Brigitte, I am in sympathy with you. Before the Aids virus came out a couple of decades ago, nobody suffered it. Given that all those who contracted it were found to have made contact with others who had it, I have trouble believing that Aids is not a disease and that homosexual lifestyle is or ever was a contributory factor of the cause. We can play with the semantics of the word " disease " , to intimate that Aids is or is nor a disease or believe in the well-known concept of the nineteenth century of the " miasma " as in the notion that cholera transmits through the stink but does either notion merit attention? I recall reading long ago about how the only way to get Aids was to break the skin and pass fluid. The day that it is found that a sufferer of Aids can have sex with a raw foodist without a risk of an Aids transmission... ...newspapers will gain circulation... ...I will review my lifestyle. The good news is that you are staying with us.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Try the CDC. The official government statics ending Jan 2002: 77% of all reported AIDS cases were either Gay men, or IV users. 10% were not identified (probably the same) The remaining 13% were people who had sex with an IV user, or received blood from gay men or IV drug users. The conclusion is that gay men and IV users spread this disease, and all cases could be traced back to one or the other. The common misconception is that it is no longer a gay or IV disease. It still is, only that it has become so prevalent in both groups, that there is inevitable " spill over " to the heterosexual and people who need blood transfusions. please take a look at the statistics. Most people react to this issue with emotions rather then fact. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/stats.htm Rufus --- mavalkyrie <mavalkyrie wrote: > This is absolutely NOT TRUE!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Bridgette, Take a look at the United States Center for Disease Control website http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/stats.htm I have nothing at all against homosexuals. My best friend happens to be a gay man. I guess I don't have anything against IV drug users either. The first funeral I ever went to was for Ron Ricci who was an IV drug user for years. He was also the first adult who ever took me fishing, and taught me how to play baseball when I moved here from a foreign country. I only wish that Ron did not do the things that led to his premature death. He left 2 children without a farther. besides his IV drug use, we all knew that he was a wonderful person who only did rotten things because he was powerless over drugs. I try not to let my emotions cloud my thinking The statistics speak for themselves. I agree with Roger when he said: " What people don't know is that they named AIDS a syndrome and not as a disease. This was convenient for them because they keep on pilling on new symptoms all the time. It's lots of old diseases combined together. " Today's feel good crowd want to believe that AIDS is just random, and that anyone can get it. Although there is spill over, sexual promiscuity and IV drug use is still the predominant factor. Paul Theroux wrote a book about his last trip to Africa (he has spent years traveling there) I found it fascinating how he described the industry growing around AIDS. It is now the biggest business in Africa. The feel good groups insist that we dump tons of money into teaching them how to use condoms. This has been a failure, because is runs counter to their culture. A neat fact has come to light. Africans are now so scared of death of AIDS, that they are starting to practice monogamy for the first time ever. This was self taught. Not bought with western funds.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Just so you all get it, I was responding DIRECTLY to this quote by Mimi: " Why would a virus (like HIV) only spread amongst the homosexuals or drug addicts? " That is a false statement. It may have been true 25 years ago, but it's not now. Bridgitte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main purpose behind sex is procreation - and that doesn't happen with homosexuality. It is unclean to put body parts in a place they don't belong. It isn't natural and it can't be good for the body physically, spiritually, or emotionally. Drugs don't do anything but destroy either. ~Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not wish to exasibate the problem by replying, please help out. Love Shell. [RH] Hi Shell, Try to not to react to a message you disagree with. I see messages every day that I don't agree with but if I get angry I only hurt myself. We could use a little more acceptance and tolerance of differing viewpoints. As for moderating her post, I don't think it is necessary at this time. I actually agree with some of what she said but not completely either. If people have the desire to be gay then I say let them do it. They are adults and have free will. They aren't hurting anyone by their actions. But it may not be a very healthy choice. I think one of the reasons we have so many people who are gay may have to do with the poor health of their parents. I suspect that if all parents were living according to the laws of nature that there would be much fewer people who turn out to be gay. I don't think we se so many gay animals out in nature as we have gay humans. A poor diet can interfere with the hormone's and the sex orientation. I'm not dogmatic on this point it's just my theory. Personally, I believe sex is more than for just procreation. Some people have very conservative religious views and that is ok. As long as we don't spend all of our time pushing these theories down each others throats. Also the main thrust of this board is health via a Vegan Raw Food Diet and not religion or morality per se. But sometimes those paths seem to cross. I would say that we wouldn't want to see continuous posts along these lines. That certainly would be overkill.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Roger, Very well said. I think that during the past month or so we have had some great debates. I very much enjoyed our germ debate, as well as the back-and-forth about mucoid plaque. We have had some intelligent new people join and the level of information exchange has increased. I was worried that this forum might become noting more then a recipe exchange. Thanks to everyone, I am always eager to read the latests posts. Also, someone once told me that behind all anger is fear. At first this didn't make sense to me, but after a lot of work I now understand the concept, and am relieved of anger. I would recommend anyone who is angry to explore this concept. It is truly a Raw concept. Cooked food has an impact on all aspects of our being.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I find your view point on gay people having made an unhealthy choice to be gay to be quite unbelievable. In the first place gay people are just gay, they don't make a choice it is just who they are and how can it be unhealthy to love another person? Secondly, your blaming it on having unhealthy parents leaves me speachless, as if it were something like a disease. I appologise for asking for that post to be moderated and will not speak on this subject again as I see where this lists simpathies lie and am very disappointed.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I find your view point on gay people having made an unhealthy choice to be gay to be quite unbelievable. [RH] First of all I did not say that. So please represent what I said accurately. I did say it MAY be unhealthy. That means I think it is a possibility. I wasn't claiming it was unhealthy. I certainly don't think that anal sex for instance is a healthy thing, whether it is done by gay or straight people. I also don't think colonics are very healthy for similar reasons. But being gay doesn't necessarily entail those activities. And anal sex is probably much safer than eating cooked food. Except for the possible physical damage that act could do. I can't believe I am even talking about this. To be quite frank I haven't even put much thought into this (anal sex). Just what seems like common sense. +++++ In the first place gay people are just gay, they don't make a choice it is just who they are and how can it be unhealthy to love another person? [RH] Yes I tend to think many people who are gay genuinely feel an attraction to the same sex. I also know people nowadays who experiment with it just because it is in vogue. Again if they wish to do that I don't particularly care. Secondly, your blaming it on having unhealthy parents leaves me speachless, as if it were something like a disease. [RH] It is quite true that our parents diets have made us very unhealthy. I think the number of gay people has increased tremendously over the years. So has the number of sick people in western cultures. In my opinion, there is a correlation there. There is plenty of scientific proof that people can have an excess of testosterone or estrogen and this is related to dietary choices. I'm just projecting that it may be related to diet. I don't say it because some religion told me to do so. It just seems less than natural since in order for the species to propagate it can't be done with people of the same sex. So as I've stated this is just my theory. I don't even think it is a big deal. I have male friends I love but I also don't have any sexual desires associated with them. Love and sex are not the same thing. I think part of your biases Shell is that you may not have read the information I have read. There is a lot of science behind what I'm conjecturing. I'm not coming from a moralistic viewpoint on this or on just about anything for that matter. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
