| Section 6 Who else is using this? Lots of us are. Every time we get a flu we reach for garlic because it has selenium, but in South Africa there's been a fuss for some years now because Tine Van Der Maas has been using a mix of lemons, garlic, beetroot and olive oil to cure AIDS and TB patients. This is her website. Power to the People www.powertothepeople.co.za Lemons simply stop scurvy and must be the oldest antiviral on the planet. How did we get to Australia? Captain Cook used lemons and the sailors didn't die on the way. Garlic has the selenium, but beetroot has folic acid and choline that are both nutrients needed for DNA Methylation to happen. Olive oil provides the Omega essential fatty acids. Here's the proof, Glutathione is a selenium compound that protects cells. "These results suggest that DNA hypermethylation of the HIV LTR may change the binding characteristics between LTR sequences and cellular proteins, thereby suppressing HIV LTR transcription and modulating viral expression." "Intracellular levels of glutathione are depleted in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in whom the risk of tuberculosis, particularly disseminated disease is many times that of healthy individuals. In this study, we examined the role of glutathione in immunity against tuberculosis infection in samples derived from healthy and human immunodeficiency virus infected subjects. Our studies confirm that glutathione levels are reduced in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in red blood cells isolated from human immunodeficiency virus-infected subjects (CD4>400/cumm). Furthermore, treatment of blood cultures from human immunodeficiency virus infected subjects with N-acetyl cysteine, a glutathione precursor, caused improved control of intracellular M. tuberculosis infection." "In AIDS patients, chronic inflammation and elevated levels of cytokines seem to be associated with lower levels of GSH: GSH levels decrease rapidly upon infection with HIV and continue to decline as the disease progresses. Investigators have shown that agents that increase intracellular levels of GSH inhibit HIV replication." Section 7 Now I'll use someone else to summarise my points about retroviruses before I hit you all with the bewildering nerd stuff that proves these nutrients are the first call treatment for AIDS, cancer and all the autoimmune diseases and allergy diseases. By this I mean arthritis, rheumatism, psoriasis, some diabetes, MS, lupus, irritable bowel, asthma, possibly even autism -- as all are the same diseases in different organs. Our immune system recognizes something it doesn't like and we get in trouble as our white blood cells pour out nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide to dissolve it. The reason the retroviruses turn up with autoimmune diseases is probably because as the white blood cells cause the damage to our cells, as well as removing pathogens, our cells then have to patch up the damage and grow back into the holes that were made. Cell growth again, so the HIV test is not good for growing children. "One of the many striking findings to come from the sequencing of the human genome is that some 45% of our DNA is composed of transposable elements such as LINE and Alu retroelements and DNA transposons. Around 8% of the genome is derived from sequences with similarity to infectious retroviruses, which can be easily recognized because all infectious retroviruses contain at least three genes, including gag (encoding structural proteins), pol (viral enzymes), and env (surface envelope proteins), as well as long terminal repeats (LTRs). The existence of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) has been known for many years, but their abundance in the genome was not predicted by earlier studies." "The best example of a HERV with a known function is HERV-W. The envelope proteins of this HERV are thought to mediate fusion of trophoblasts, an essential step during formation of the placenta. A role in membrane fusion is not surprising since this is the role of the viral Env protein during retroviral infection following binding to a cell surface receptor." "The clinical heterogeneity of many of the associated diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, has also been a problem, since HERVs may be involved in specific subtypes of a particular disease and such subtypes may not be recognized by current diagnostic criteria." Note that they are talking about lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases where our retroviruses appear. And pregnancy. Where does the HIV/AIDS epidemic come from in Africa and the Third World? "A common method of measuring HIV prevalence in South Africa is by looking at HIV test results taken from pregnant women who attend antenatal clinics." From the HIV test itself. (Love this one about human and baboon placentas.) "In normal human placental tissues, they have antigenic similarity with exogenous retroviruses, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and may have a role to play in the regulation of cellular gene expression, syncytiotrophoblast formation or pregnancy-related immunosuppression." "The results of this study confirm the specific expression of retroviral cross- reactive antigens in normal baboon placental tissues and suggest placental cellular proteins may have antigenic similarity with those recognized by anti- HIV/SIV antibodies. The role of these retroviral-related proteins expressed at the maternal-fetal interface remain unclear." Oh my God, I can show you these monkey studies over and over so I won't. Actually I will because it's funny. Look here, the koala retrovirus looks like the gibbon leukemia virus. "The Nucleotide Sequence of Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) Retrovirus: a Novel Type C Endogenous Virus Related to Gibbon Ape Leukemia Virus" And we have antibodies to the gibbon leukemia virus. So does that mean we have antibodies to the koala retrovirus? "Sera from healthy humans contained naturally occurring antibody against group- or subgroup-specific antigen on the envelope of the following type C viruses isolated from primates: gibbon ape leukemia virus, simian (woolly monkey) sarcoma virus, baboon endogenous type C virus, and putative human type C viruses [HL23V isolated from blood cells of a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (HL23) and HEL-12V from human embryonic diploid cells (CIH-32)]." "The highest incidence of antibody production was in 1- to 10-year-olds and 31- to 40-year-olds, with the adults exhibiting higher levels. Differences in incidence of natural antibody were not found to be sex-linked. These findings suggest that type C RNA viruses related to the gibbon ape leukemia virus and simian (woolly monkey) sarcoma virus family as well as the baboon endogenous type C virus family may be widespread in humans." Getting my point here, the people who give you a HIV test are really confused. This is HERV-K, it's a very common LTR or retrovirus in our genome that appears everywhere and in this study it cross reacts with Bob's HIV antibody test. I thought it 'was specific'? "Furthermore we could observe a parallel HIV-1/HERV-K seroconversion, which probably is not due to an HIV-1/HERV-K-outer membrane envelope cross- reactivity." The funny comment there is it's "probably not due to an HIV-1/HERV-K-outer membrane envelope cross-reactivity", but the researchers are trying really to say "we think the study stuffed up, so we don't get in trouble for noticing they cross react". Here again this a guy called Urnovitz, he believes another chunk of our transposable elements called ALU's which move around as well are responsible for AIDS, so like Gallo he is trying to come up with new tests for them. Are we sick of these tests yet? Just eat some decent food. "Data indicate that in the general population, 0.6% of low risk individuals show HERV-like antibodies compared with 27% of nonhealthy individuals," Urnovitz indicated."Standard tests are unable to differentiate between HERV-like antibodies and HIV antibodies. Furthermore, they do not provide enough information to evaluate the contribution of HERVs to HIV progression toward Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome." He noticed that most of the guys with Gulf War Syndrome and people with AIDS have heaps of HERV-K antibodies. I noticed that all the autoimmune diseases have as well. But again HERV-K also appears in the placenta, so why on earth would it appear in the placenta and cancer cells? This is because placental cells and cancer are barely different, they are cells that need guiding. We take the approach of poisoning cancer cells, when if we worked out how to steer them - as in pregnancy - we might sort the problem out. Urnovitz forgot that DNA hypomethylation is causing them to come out. Here's HERV-W in cancer too. Why does it happily do nothing wrong in the placenta but appears in cancer? "We examined the structural genes (gag, pol and env) of the human endogenous retrovirus (HERV-W) family from 12 normal human tissues and 18 human cancer cell lines using RT-PCR." ...DNA hypomethylation is causing the cancer. And selenium, folic acid, choline and other nutrients all help stop that from happening. I'm proving nutrition stops AIDS and cancer here, because all the chemotherapy out there depletes selenium and it's other compound glutathione. A hundred years of donations to the cancer research foundations gave us drugs that just kept cancer at bay by shutting down all life in the body. This is why almost everyone gets a cancer reoccurrence after chemo and why AZT never stopped HIV it just terminated every living process in the body. "Azidothymidine causes functional and structural destruction of mitochondria, glutathione deficiency." Section 8 Here in Australia as in other countries pregnant women are now asked if they will do a HIV test and if they are unlucky to draw a straw in Gallo's lottery they are given AZT from around 13 weeks of the pregnancy. The child is then given 6 weeks worth as soon as they are born. Welcome to Robert Gallo's sick and twisted world. This is what happens to them. "Recent studies of pregnant women and animal models have raised concerns regarding potentially serious mitochondrial toxicity-related side effects in infants born to mothers who received nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) during their pregnancy to prevent HIV-1 perinatal transmission. Similarly, the mean mtDNA copies per cell from the cord blood of the HIV-positive women compared with HIV-negative women was 144 +/- 101 and 865 +/- 331 ( =.0026), respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease in mtDNA copies per cell in placenta and cord blood between the HIV-infected women on NRTIs compared with HIV-negative women." What that blurb means is the mitochondrial DNA is so poisoned it would be amazing these women can walk. This is a description of the effects. "Mitochondrial damage is poorly diagnosed, and when symptoms do occur, they can run the range from mild, to severe, to life-threatening. For instance, common symptoms include fatigue, muscle weakness (myopathy), peripheral neuropathy, and pancreatitis. However, some researchers suggest that regardless of HIV serostatus, damage to mitochondria can be a possible factor in low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), anemia, and low neutrophil count (neutropenia). Furthermore, there is a significant link between damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria and the development of Type II diabetes in adults, again, regardless of HIV serostatus." Cure for AIDS is it? Give this stuff to starving Africans and get that warm inner glow. Or how about Nevirapine? These are the photos Thabo Mbeki had seen that turned him into a raving neo-nazi intent on denying Africans the right to life saving AIDS drugs. Now if you were a sensible public servant and you saw this would you allow this rubbish into your country to give to your sick people? Poor Thabo, I'm amazed he didn't swear profusely at the Treatment Action Campaign stooges who are simply working for multinational drug companies. Over here in every so called alternative media outlet reported Thabo as a madman and Nazi. I was sickened by the reporting which I saw as collaboration with a genocidal racket that will go down in history as just that. Jonathan Fishbein blew the whistle on Nevirapine this year and good on him. Here is a case on one of the litigation sites getting ready to cash in on the gold rush when HIV/AIDS goes down. "Nevirapine was dosed at 4mg per kg once a day for the first 14 days, and then 4mg per kg twice a day. On day 28 of antiretroviral therapy the boy was admitted to hospital with a two day history of ulcerative rash. Treatment with intravenous fluids, steroids and antimicrobials was provided, to which the boy initially responded. However, on day 25 of hospitalisation, he developed a fever, restlessness, altered mental state, and, probably because of sepsis, died. Large numbers of HIV-positive children will require therapy with nevirapine in resource-limited setting, note the investigators. Because of this, the investigators caution "the scenario we report here will become more common as ART expansion continues... additional research is needed to investigate the degree to which serious nevirapine toxicities can be predicted on the basis of genetic factors or previous toxicity in first-degree relatives."" Stevens-Johnson Syndrome means your skin falls off. "...the scenario we report here will become more common as ART expansion continues..." That is a chilling statement. This is why mothers are packing their children up and going on the run from the AIDS police. Section 9 So back to my point after that harrowing experience. Chemo depletes selenium, stuffs the kidneys and liver and generally kills people. I'm talking about cancer chemo as well. All these nutrients stop the so-called retroviruses, methylate our DNA and therefore have a huge effect on AIDS, Cancer and all autoimmune diseases. I haven't even touched on the autoimmune subject yet. I'll show you something by Mae-Wan Ho, she's a darling of the anti-GM crowd now because she wrote a book called Living With The Fluid Genome and pointed out that shoving vaccines straight into the blood stream, stuffing around with GM crops and our food or doing a tweak or two by adding genes attached to viruses into us is nuts. Why? Well obviously no one knows what will happen. Look what happened to the Gulf war people who had 30 different vaccines, they became cripples. That's her point. Kids who end up with autism from vaccines, that's her point. Our scientists are mad. "Defective or dormant HERVs, like defective retrotransposons, can become expressed when missing gene-functions are provided by a 'helper' virus that happens to infect the cell, and that includes 'attenuated' viruses in vaccines. Like retrotransposons, HERVs can also be induced: by X-rays or various chemical agents and drugs, such as inhibitors of protein synthesis, organophosphates and other pesticides, inflammatory cytokines (hormone- like factors that influence cells of the immune system) or steroid hormones, and retinoic acid. In a comprehensive review published in 1996, virologists Howard Urnovitz and William Murphy raised the possibility that many chronic debilitating diseases may be linked to HERVs. These include leukaemia and other cancers, B-cell immunoglobulin diseases, inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, autoimmune rheumatic and connective tissue disease and chronic fatigue syndrome. There are several mechanisms linking HERVs with chronic diseases, though it is not at all clear which mechanism comes into effect under different circumstances. One way in which endogenous viruses can cause disease is for them to move and insert itself next to certain genes, that, when over-expressed, results in uncontrolled cell division, or cancer. This mechanism may be involved in mouse and human leukaemia, breast cancer and teratocarcinoma. This is also the mechanism that causes cancer in gene therapy, when viral vectors integrate next to these same genes." This is what I will talk about. "Like retrotransposons, HERVs can also be induced: by X-rays or various chemical agents and drugs, such as inhibitors of protein synthesis, organophosphates and other pesticides, inflammatory cytokines (hormone-like factors that influence cells of the immune system) or steroid hormones, and retinoic acid." Why do X-rays, chemical agents and drugs cause HERV's to come out? Because all these things deplete the nutrients that are needed for DNA methylation and that's why chemo never works unless you eat well. But hold on a minute, inhibitors of protein synthesis, that's nuts, half the HIV population in the West who can afford it are on protease inhibitors, protease is needed as an enzyme to break down protein and synthesize it but they also cause HERV induction? They cause the shrunken face effect too. Then organophosphates. Well, Mark Purdey laid the blame fair and square on organophosphates as the cause of BSE or Mad Cow's Disease. But again this was one of those vague viruses, how do we know it wasn't depleting selenium and causing the cow retroviruses to be induced? Purdey also blamed manganese exposure for BSE because near manganese refineries, deer and cattle were getting the disease. Manganese would interfere with selenium uptake. They also give selenium and copper to sheep so they don't get White Muscle Disease, same symptoms as Scrapies that has the same symptoms as BSE. Inflammatory Cytokines! Just do a search on HIV and inflammatory cytokines and see, they happen together. Then there are steroid hormones, what does that mean? Body lifters and bouncers are likely to be walking retrovirus factories? That's funny because they probably are due to the massive cell growth. But all our old mums and grannies are told to take HRT another hormone to stop their wrinkles and it gives them cancer. That's cell growth out of control. Then there are drug addicts, if you shove speed into your system you push your steroid hormone production up and burn out your adrenal glands. I know, that's probably what stuffed me up a few years ago. I worked with Araldite, an amine glue, and Phenolic resin glues for three and a half years until my body went into autoimmune mode and dismantled my skin. Adrenaline and Noradrenaline are our hormones that hyper us up at one end of each of these molecules is a Benzene ring and at the other end and Amine chain. No wonder I was speeding off my nut. Section 10 Where else does this happen? Recently there was a big fuss about ice addicts rooting around so much in New York that they were spreading a new a deadly virulent strain of HIV. All a load of trash of course, all the big wigs in HIV/AIDS held meetings and even considered quarantine of districts where this was occurring. Mmmm... Well, think about it. If you take that much speed, don't eat, don't sleep, don't get sunlight you will stuff the liver where our hormones are made and you've replaced it all with a very artificial hormone. You also need sleep and sunlight to make hormones like TGF Beta that keep the immune system in check and if the immune system goes stupid you'll have antibodies to all sorts of things that are poisoning you. Speed and stress also makes you thin, lowers immunity and impairs glucose or sugar metabolism, in other words it can cause diabetes in the long run. Along with rubbish food, chemicals like benzene in our petrol are a risk factor for diabetes and you see this in areas like Harlem with 1 in 3 people diabetic, they are eating too much sugary rubbish and wallowing in Benzene from cars. Show you a study: "As a consequence, higher levels of hydroquinone, phenol and catechol, considered the actual metabolites responsible for benzene toxicity, will accumulate in the diabetic rat. Extrapolating these data to human, we may thus suggest that occupational exposure to benzene of a diabetic subject poses a higher risk level, as his metabolism tends to produce and accumulate higher levels of reactive benzene catabolites." Over here in Australia we have a pretty bad petrol-sniffing problem amongst our aborigines and this because in some communities they have about one person employed in a hundred and everyone is bored and broke so petrol is the cheapest drug. How did this really happen? Back in the 1980's we knew oil was getting grubbier as we got to the bottom of oil fields and that meant more lead to raise octane levels. Lead could have been sorted with a filter. Instead the oil companies had heaps of left-over benzene to throw around and conned our idiot politicians to stick it in the petrol. What should have happened is the stuff should have been put through catalytic converters at the refineries but to save petrol companies money they made the car owners pay for it. This is what the inventor of the Black Box said about it, he was an aviation fuels expert and testified in parliament about it. They didn't listen. "Even at that stage, Dr Warren had found that the lead problem was highly overstated and that the potential hazards from the aromatic octane enhancers --like benzene-- were greater than the perceived lead problem. "In fact, this stuff appears to be so dangerous, potentially lethal, that I urge you not to use it in any car not fitted with a catalytic converter. Don't use it in your mower, chainsaw, whipper-snipper or outboard motor, and don't wash parts in it. If any gets on your skin, wash it off immediately. Avoid the fumes when refuelling and don't allow anyone near the exhaust, particularly when the exhaust system is cold. Remember that catalytic converters don't work until they reach some 400 degrees C." I smell it everywhere because I'm allergic to it and want to keep it out of my lungs. And it makes you high so that's why people sniff it. South Africa has a huge petrol-sniffing problem and the AIDS capital of the world is in Durban, which also gets called the "Valley of the refineries" with a leukemia rate 20 times the average, who needs HIV to cause AIDS? The petrol companies are spending $29 million at the moment on studies to prove it doesn't cause cancer - just to get out of the litigation. Good luck guys, you're wasting your money. Where else is it? It's a preservative called Sodium Benzoate, most people drink it in soft drinks. This was last week. "A government analysis of more than 100 soft drinks and other beverages turned up five with levels of cancer-causing benzene that exceed federal drinking-water standards, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday. Federal rules limit benzene levels in drinking water to 5 parts per billion. A limited FDA analysis of store-bought drinks found benzene levels as high as 79 parts per billion in one lot of Safeway Select Diet Orange." It gets worse in the Third World because lack of refrigeration and exposure to sun breaks it down and it comes out. But we already knew this. "And what of benzoic acid (C7H6O2)? Way back in 1906 Harvey Wiley, the founder of the FDA, conducted experiments on people (with permission) trying to determine the harmful effects, if any, of this compound on humans. At the time, a major food company wanted to add the chemical to various canned products to insure food color and freshness and Dr. Wiley was concerned about possible adverse effects. Upon repeated introduction of small, concentrated amounts of benzoate into his test subjects several adverse side effects were noted after three weeks: night sweats, fever, muscle loss, anorexia, lymph swelling, etc... The same symtoms of AIDS, TOS, SMON, CFS, illicit drug use, and other benzene-induced conditions. Dr. Wiley testified before congress that the use of benzoic acid, boric acid, salicylates, and cinnamic aldehyde (found in "hot" lubricants) would be disastrous and even succeeded in banning them for a few years. Unfortunately, due to economic and political pressures from food and petrochemical companies, Dr. Wiley was overruled and expelled from the very organization he founded." Here's a couple more to prove the point. "Decreases of natural killer cells and T-lymphocyte subpopulations and increases of B lymphocytes following a 5-day occupational exposure to mixed organic solvents. Link "The ratio and absolute number of T and B lymphocytes in blood and spleen were depressed after a 7-day exposure at 50 ppm benzene." It also stuffs around with our hormones or steroids and influences cell growth, and that's why it cause cancer and leukemia cells to go stupid, and you should have worked out by now that retroviruses will turn up too. So do the residents of Durban have HIV/AIDS or Leukemia? Here's a link to the list of cancer drugs we use and you don't have to look. Anti-Tumor Agents by Mechanisms of Action www.sigmaaldrich.com Buried in that toxic list are a few natural things and they are retinoic acid or vitamin A, vitamin D and curcumin from Turmeric, a polyphenol that looks steroid like. They work rather well together for Leukemia. "Combinations of RA and curcumin or vitamin D3 and curcumin inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells to a greater extent than was observed for either compound alone." Leukemia patients can do this at home with a good curry and some cod liver oil. The word differentiation is important, it's why Mae-Wan Ho said steroids influence retroviral induction. It's all about guiding cells with the right signals. Here's that sort of blurb in nerd terms, they are talking about Vitamin D and it gets made from sunlight on our skin or from things like cod liver oil: "Nevertheless, it is hypothesized that sunlight deprivation in the arctic winter can lead to a deficiency of the 1, 25(OH)2D3 vitamin, which might stimulate leukemic cell proliferation and block cell differentiation through dysregulation of growth factors in the bone marrow stromal cells, causing one mutation and an overt ALL in progenitor cells damaged during the current or the previous winter by influenza virus, the other mutation." There has even been a case of a teen in America who got leukemia from too much Playstation and not enough sunlight, poor kid. Continue reading... |
