Default "The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDSHypothesis."

[]
So - time will time, now won't it.
It often takes a long time to get rid of establishment thinking and
in this day and age of pHARMa control, it may take longer than a long time.

As for me, I will continue to question and read all I can.
Sheri


"It is widely believed by the general public that a retrovirus called
HIV causes the group of diseases called AIDS. Many biochemical
scientists now question this hypothesis. We propose that a thorough
reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this hypothesis
be conducted by a suitable independent group. We further propose that
critical epidemiological studies be devised and undertaken."

For political reasons, the AIDS establishment has refused to fund a
single scientific study designed to resolve the scientific
controversy as outlined by the statement above.

Rethinking AIDS
Thursday, September 11, 2008

[]


In 1987, <http://www.duesberg.com/>Dr. Peter Duesberg published a
paper on cancer research in which he made the case, almost as an
aside, that HIV (a retrovirus, the same class of virus suspected at
the time to cause cancer) cannot be the cause of AIDS.

Four years later, in 1991, after mounting criticism over Duesberg's
position, and simultaneous support from a growing number of
scientists who felt that HIV science just didn't add up, a number of
scientists formed "The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the
HIV/AIDS Hypothesis" (usually shortened to simply "The Group"), and
crafted a letter for submission to the editors of Nature, Science,
The Lancet, and The New England Journal of Medicine, all of whom
refused to publish the letter.

Yet another four years later, The Group was able to have this
statement, signed by 32 scientists with advanced medical degrees,
published in Science (17 Feb. 1995, vol. 267, pp. 945-946):

"It is widely believed by the general public that a retrovirus called
HIV causes the group of diseases called AIDS. Many biochemical
scientists now question this hypothesis. We propose that a thorough
reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this hypothesis
be conducted by a suitable independent group. We further propose that
critical epidemiological studies be devised and undertaken."

Since this letter was published, over 2,100 people have signed their
names in agreement to this statement. This list comprises "The Group
for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis."

Also since this statement was published, The Group established a
long-running newsletter titled
"<http://www.rethinkingaids.com/Default.aspx?tabid=69>Rethinking
AIDS" (renamed "Reappraising AIDS" for a time, and then back again),
and subsequently established itself as a 501(3)(c) [non-profit]
organization, with the official combined name: "Rethinking AIDS: The
Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis." As
a result of the newsletter's name and its synonymity with the
organization, The Group is also known as "RA".

A subset of the 2,100 signatories comprise the
<http://www.rethinkingaids.com/Default.aspx?tabid=60>RA Board of Directors.

SCIENTISTS WHO DOUBT THIS?

<http://www.rethinkingaids.com/quotes/rethinkers.htm>Over 2,000
scientists, medical professionals, authors and academics are on
record that the "Hiv-Aids" theories, routinely reported to the public
as if they were facts, are dubious to say the least.

following is the list of names and quotes

What follows are a number of selected videos, articles, and

present the views of the scientists and medical doctors who challenge
the notion that HIV causes AIDS.

I can't keep reading, but will just start adding blanket disclaimers:
NOTE, these posts of Sheri's on the topics of AIDS and the nature of
disease, bacteria and viruses are NOT on the topic of homeopathy, and
are NOT necessarily the views of the homeopathic community.
Read at your own discretion, and make your own decisions from there.

PS, Hahnemann *did* believe that certain diseases are transmissible, so
Sheri, in your claims (not in these posts, but previously) that no
disease is contagious, you are at odds with homeopathic teaching, as
well as with mainstream medicine. Maybe it's "reassuring" to know
there are at least *some* things that the two schools agree on? :-)

Jon made you moderator, I see.
But how are they transmissible? Hahnemann didn't say HIV causes
AIDS. He didn't say a virus injects something into a cell even
though the virus is dea. He didn't say any of
that. Miasms...............they are still somewhat of a mystery, now
aren't they.

He didn't know and we don't know.
We don't have to know to treat a person
Treat according to the symptom picture, regardless of name of
disease, regardless of so-called bacterial or viral cause.
But it is important to know what is going on in the world and how
people are lied to to make them take drugs and vaccines that will
worsen their health and affect their vital force.

Just a concerned citizen. :-)
If you feel it's relevant to *homeopathy*, please explain how.
If you can't, then it's off-topic. Some off-topic has always been
okay, but this is getting to be a whole different animal. I feel it is
COMPLETELY UNFAIR, as well as the dangers I mentioned, for you to be
trying to give the impression, to any casual observers, that
"homeopathy" endorses this viewpoint. It does NOT. I am trying to
defend my own reputation, basically.

Right, and I did not claim any of that.
*You* have in the past claimed that no disease is contagious, that
viruses and bacteria are benign, and none of them causes any disease.
When I ask specific questions about "can you catch..." etc., you have
never taken the trouble to answer, so no actual discussion on the point
has been possible; just reams and reams of often outrageous material.

> Miasms...............they are still somewhat of a mystery, now aren't

Yes, and completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Well, not completely; why not talk about *those* connections instead?
That at least would be topical, and interesting to perhaps all.

Thank you.
So can we leave off this barrage about what is or isn't the cause?
And can you stop repeating that AIDS isn't contagious?

Those too are useful topics. Why not talk about that, with a *variety*
of different well-drawn examples, instead of going on and on with these
claims that viruses don't exist and no one's every seen one (there are
photos on the web, including of the HIV), or if they do, they're
actually manufactured by the cells and are beneficial, and no disease
(including AIDS) is contagious? You've got so much *good* material to
offer; why not stick to that?

Probably some of these links you're posting and quoting *do* have good
information in them, but it's way, way too much, and some of the claims
are DANGEROUS, would actually be *legally* dangerous, can are NOT what
people should be reading on a homeopathy site!

You want to introduce these other ideas, great, so offer the links, and
a quick summary. Let people decide if they want to look into it--I'm
not suggesting a book-banning, just some practicality and courtesy!

Some of them have positions that seem pretty outrageous, and *if* they
are also true (I don't deny that the "obvious" is not always "true"),
then there's some learning curve, some reading to do--and it is our
individual choices when and whether to do that. Post links then, with
a short comment or excerpt, to be followed up on by those that are
interested. And for long, ongoing discussions, let's go back to
homeopathy.

Thanks Sheri,
Actually I'd meant to listen and your jog got me there for the last 2+
hours (whew, my kitchen is CLEAN now!! :-) )

I have to say it was a very compelling show and I'm glad I did listen.
Much of what they talked about is very reminiscent of the same issues
we see with (pick a severe disease) cancer and many others--vested
interests, especially financial, polluting the science. Actually it
sounded *very* like the situation with cancer, with a few added
wrinkles.

And tho it wasn't emphasized, one speaker or another did say, as you've
said, that they consider AIDS not contagious, but caused by lifestyle
factors etc. No offense intended :-) but I did find it more
persuasive in the context of the whole show etc. I'm not saying I'm
now convinced that there's no contagion involved... I still don't see
how else to explain some of the cases that have been written up here
and there--infants, health care workers, apparently "innocent" spouse
etc. But I simply don't know enough...

At the end they mentioned a court case they are planning, and that
should be *extremely* interesting! (I don't think he gave a timetable
for that, do you know?)

Whew, now I'd better get to my outdoor chores.
(Honestly tho, you could have gotten me to listen to the show without
the whole preceding avalanche...)
'Later,
Shannon

Default Re: "The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of theHIV/AIDS Hypothesis."

I'm glad you and others who have written to me listened.

I did NOT know the show was going to be on. If I had I would have
waited and not wasted my typing.
The first hour was pretty bad with Gary Null reading from Janine's book.
But it is a very hard subject to do on radio without
background. But I'm sure many were lost in that first hour.
So good you missed it as it was hard to follow. He basically read
about the documents she obtained which show NO WHERE did Gallo prove anything.

Glad you listened.

It really is groundbreaking and too hard to get that across without a
lot of background info
