		<description>This article begins with a reference to a 1989 paper that “described the engineering of a recombinant poliovirus bearing on its surface an antigen from HIV-1.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like ALL HIV-related papers, this one only ASSUMES that HIV attacks cells and causes AIDS – a problem cited by Peter Duesberg in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences but never answered except in blogs like this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Before we explore a cure for HIV, it would be helpful if Professor Racanniello could explain 1) exactly how he would isolate HIV, and 2) prove HIV attacks cells and causes AIDS.  Once he&#039;s answered this he can tell us who or what team accomplished this and what this proof was memorialized.  Until causation is established, any discussion of what and how HIV allegedly does what it does seems somewhat pointless.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was impressed by the disclaimer found in ABOUT:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“All of the opinions that I write on this blog are mine, and in no way represent the views of my employer, Columbia University.

		<description>When outspoken AIDS activists Martin Delany, Hank Wilson, Ferd Eggan, Belynda Dunn, Joe Carroccio, George Sanderson and Howard Jacobs died, their cohorts hardly mentioned that they all succumbed to drug-caused liver cancers. But when outspoken HIV skeptic Christine Maggiore passed away in December 2008, Seth Kalichman, John Moore, Jeanne Bergman and other PharmaSluts falsely marketed her death as AIDS-related.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For nearly a year, they parroted the false claims on thousands of heterophobic blogs – most of which are directly or indirectly funded by the pharmaceutical industry. For example, a visit to The Body will cram your browser with drug advertising and gay activism.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For an industry that routinely spends billions settling criminal complaints and pushing deadly drugs to children and minorities, disinformation is a vital component of their marketing plans. Without this propaganda and the complicit media, Americans would know that infectious diseases (including HIV) are statistically irrelevant in the US, Europe, Australia and South Africa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We would also know that millions of Americans are injured or killed each year by untested drugs, preventable medical errors, adverse drug reactions by the pharmaceutical industry’s ongoing criminal behavior and systemic incompetence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If the Media regularly reported these facts, taxpayers would not waste billions of dollars on the CDC, NIH, research centers and universities that market unproven cures for mythical dangers like H1N1, HIV, HPV and CO2.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Despite the propaganda, Christine Maggiore – like her daughter and millions of other Americans – died from an adverse drug reaction: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Christine suffered fatal renal failure caused by antibiotics, antiviral, and calcium received during the 9 days prior to her death.&lt;br&gt;So it’s no surprise that, despite his considerable qualifications, the PharmaSluts have attacked Dr. Al-Bayati as unqualified, although few (if any) of his accusers have ever qualified in a real court to render evidence-based opinions. Not only does Dr. Al-Bayati routinely qualify as an expert in criminal matters throughout the US, but he routinely exposes flaws in medical evidence that would otherwise be used to convict innocent people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As did Ms. Maggiore before her unexpected death, Dr. Al-Bayati represents a significant threat to the makers of HIV tests and drugs. When HIV is put on trial in criminal matters, prosecutors will require the PharmaSluts to prove that their tests are reliable and explain exactly when, where, how and who proved that HIV attacks cells and causes AIDS. Without this evidence, the expert will not qualify and the prosecution’s case will collapse...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Story here:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://exlibhollywood.blogspot.com/2009/12/hiv-defendant-prevails-over.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://exlibhollywood.blogspot.com/2009/12/hiv-...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>As Christine Maggiore&#039;s investigator, I&#039;ve reviewed all of the paperwork regarding the case.  Where did you get your information?  By the way, did you know prosecutors reduced a potential 15-year sentence for allegedly spreading HIV to five days of unsupervised probation after they learned that they had to prove HIV attacks cells and causes AIDS.  Propaganda like this simply doesn&#039;t hold up in court.  After nearly 30 years and thousands of criminal investigations, I look forward to putting HIV on trial.</description>

		<description>That is the movie that is not clear until after the credites  that one person they interviewed, Christine Maggiore, died of AIDS, just like her daughter.  See:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.badscience.net/2009/09/house-of-numbers/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.badscience.net/2009/09/house-of-numb...&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;There is an interview with Christine Maggiore, who talks about her difficult decision to go against medical advice by refusing Aids medication, medication, and how much better she felt as a result. What the film doesn’t tell you, as you shout at the screen, is that Christine Maggiore’s daughter Eliza Jane died of Aids and PCP pneumonia three years ago, at the age of three, and, as I reported nine months ago, Christine Maggiore herself died two days after Christmas 2008 of pneumonia, aged 52 (the film finally acknowledges her death in the last 2 seconds of the film, at the end of the lengthy credits, in small letters).&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>View the new documentary &quot;House of Numbers&quot; to see why questions about this must be raised and deeper issues about HIV and AIDS need to be discussed. Lives are at risk, and this is the first documentary with the worlds foremost authorities highlights the scientific problems with HIV testing, science, statistics, and why there is no cure. It sheds new light on a misunderstood phenomena.
