LINK: http://www.i-sis.org.uk/AidsandSelenium.php Foster is currently treating dozens of HIV/AIDS patients in Africa using a protocol of the four nutrients - selenium, cysteine, glutamine and tryptophan. He says that the treatment of HIV/AIDS with nutrition is similar to "curing" type-1 diabetes with insulin. When high doses of all four nutrients are administered to patients, deficiencies dissolve, as do the symptoms associated with AIDS. Patients have been able to return to work within one month of receiving nutritional treatments. Treating primary nutritional deficiencies with selenium and essential amino acids costs approximately $10-$15.

Division of Molecular Immunology and Immunotherapy, Socrates Institute for Therapeutic Immunology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19126-3305, USA. nobutoyama@verizon.net Serum Gc protein (known as vitamin D3-binding protein) is the precursor for the principal macrophage activating factor (MAF). The MAF precursor activity of serum Gc protein of HIV-infected patients was lost or reduced because Gc protein is deglycosylated by alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (Nagalase) secreted from HIV-infected cells. Therefore, macrophages of HIV-infected patients having deglycosylated Gc protein cannot be activated, leading to immunosuppression. Since Nagalase is the intrinsic component of the envelope protein gp120, serum Nagalase activity is the sum of enzyme activities carried by both HIV virions and envelope proteins. These Nagalase carriers were already complexed with anti-HIV immunoglobulin G (IgG) but retained Nagalase activity that is required for infectivity. Stepwise treatment of purified Gc protein with immobilized beta-galactosidase and sialidase generated the most potent macrophage activating factor (termed GcMAF), which produces no side effects in humans. Macrophages activated by administration of 100 ng GcMAF develop a large amount of Fc-receptors as well as an enormous variation of receptors that recognize IgG-bound and unbound HIV virions. Since latently HIV-infected cells are unstable and constantly release HIV virions, the activated macrophages rapidly intercept the released HIV virions to prevent reinfection resulting in exhaustion of infected cells. After less than 18 weekly administrations of 100 ng GcMAF for nonanemic patients, they exhibited low serum Nagalase activities equivalent to healthy controls, indicating eradication of HIV-infection, which was also confirmed by no infectious center formation by provirus inducing agent-treated patient PBMCs. No recurrence occurred and their healthy CD + cell counts were maintained for 7 years." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/aids.html&name=OLIVE_15520 /CURES/aids.rss10 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Ricky from Sunshine Coast, Australia writes: "Hi All, Im a 36yr old male.

His reply, what is it, where do I get it and how do I take it\". Answer Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, GNC stores, etc. Try to find the l000 mgm or 1 gram tablets, take 2 tablets breakfast, lunch, supper and bedtime. He was also told that if it didn\'t help him it wouldn\'t hurt him. I never asked if he got it, but he started looking better, missing work less often, and turned in his resignation stating he was going back to art school. Sounds like he expected to have a future. Unfortunately this story did not have a happy ending - seems he had a little too much to drink, backed his wife into a corner, and died from a stab wound inflicted by the butcher knife she carried into that corner with her for self-defense. The reason I suspected that it might work was because it works against the common cold, mono (kissing fever), influenza. herpes type i & 2, chickenpox, shingles (herpes Zoster), all viruses, so just maybe it would work against HIV also, since it is a virus. An interesting little aside here, I recently read where some psychic claimed to have asked the other side about a cure for AIDS and was told that it had been around for centuries, that the cure was at hand and involved a protein. L-lysine is one of the amino acids which are protein. just maybe it would work against HIV virus. Maybe we should post the benefits of L-lysine on Earth Clinic before orthodox medicine learns that it works well against viruses and starts debunking it because they can\'t patent it and keep you coming back to them for prescriptions.

MY STORY 1. On Nov 3rd, 1992, I had my first press conference about my Immuno-QR for Killer viral Disease & Immune deficiency. 2. In May June 1993, this medicine was subjected to trials on 11 patients by Indian Council of medical Research (This was made possible by TABE Treatment Clinic who had influence on ICMR) 3. In July 1993, because of the improvements in the patients they asked me to go over to Delhi to meet them. 4. Air Commodore Anand who organized the study demanded 25% share in Fair Pharma. 5. I offered IRs.1.5 cores, depending on sales of Immuno-QR, for services rendered, the offer was refused initially. 6. I explained the ICMR demand to the press. When Air Commodore Anand read the news, he flew to Cochin and entered into an agreement with me accepting IRs. 1.5 crores as "consulting fee". 7. When the trials were completed, by Sept. '93, I called up Commodore Anand for the results. He said ICMR won't publish the result unless I agree for 25% share in Fair Pharma as demanded earlier. I refused and the matter ended there. 8. On Sept 24, 1993, A I R, Delhi, broadcast a program, "the challenge of Aids" at 9.30 pm. This program was relayed by most of the stations including TVM and Cochin. (The tape is available with me). In this program the then Director General of ICMR, Dr. S.P. Triparthi said that they were testing my medicine on 11 patients and that as and when the trials were completed the results would be made known. 9. The results were never made known. Here the point is if the results were not good, they would have published it. Moreover if the results were not good, Air Commodore Anand would not have demanded a share from me. 10. After 2 years ICMR made a statement that they never tested Immuno-QR!! 11. By 1994 the news spread in different parts of India, especially among the truck drivers in Tamil Nadu, that the Immuno-QR medicine of Cochin is effective for Killer Viral disease & Immune deficiency. Patients started pouring into Fair Pharma. In "95 the Magna Publication brought out a cover story in Health and Nutrition (Hindi) about Immuno-QR .The Caption was "India has found the right medicine for AIDS". 12. The same year Family, another English magazine, wrote a lead story about Immuno-QR. 13. Sunday Observer too brought out a story in its front page about my Immuno-QR, the same year. 14. All these seems to have angered the Bombay lobby headed by Dr. I.S. Gilada (of his own self styled "Indian Health Organization"). Himself supported by Salvation Army started a campaign against Immuno-QR thereafter. Incidentally I would like to mention here that the Gilada lobby supported by Multinational Companies were engaged in selling AZT (Chemotherapy) in India to AIDS patients. This highly expensive medicine brought millions of rupees to many who were selling them. This AZT did not help any patient in any way. 15. National Aids Control Organization, Dr. I.S. Gilada and AIDS Cells of various states discouraged patients from coming to me. But by 1996 the word of mouth publicity was so much that the lobby working against me became helpless. 16. In 1996 the Multinational Companies projected Dr. David Ho, in the 11th World AIDS Conference at Vancouver, Canada as an inventor of a new medicine "Cocktail' for AIDS. Dr. Ho himself said that this was not a cure for AIDS. He said, "it may help HIV carriers in early stage and that experiments were being conducted on around 15 patient". No results! No proof!! Price: US $ 70000.00 (IRs. 35 lakhs). Duration : 3 years (Duration of my medicine is 100 days and cost IRs. 8000.00 including 10% sales tax and 16% excise duty). 17. Dr. Ho's Cocktail was projected by MNCs to make a few billions in a short span of time. 18. With the influence of NACO, AIDS Cells, MNCs and Bombay lobby over the then drug controller Mr. Venkatesh and then Minister, Mr. Shanmugha Das, my license was cancelled in 1997. 19. In 1998, the High court of Kerala stayed the Govt. order in my favour. 20. The lobby against me influenced every newspaper, big and small, and brought out a new story against Immuno-QR that Immuno-QR is full of steroids and that the effect of Immuno-QR was temporary. (In fact there is not even an iota of truth in this). 21. In 1999 the lobby headed by NACO (they get funds for awareness program and that is the only reason for them to oppose me), Dr. I.S. Gilada etc. went to Bombay High Court and the court passed the following interim order: - "Pending hearing and final disposal of these Writ Petitions Respondents No. 8, 10 and 11 are restrained, by an order of injunction, from in any manner issuing or publishing any other information or material, including putting up a web-site or any other information on the Internet claiming to have a cure or treatment for HIV/AIDS through any drug, treatment or alternate medicine". I should not ever use the word and that I should not even have a website. This was an encroachment on my fundamental rights, but this has not come up for further hearing. This, I am sure, is being manipulated by Bombay lobby so that I cannot publish even a pamphlet on the same. 22. By the end of 2000 I gave agency of Immuno-QR to two individuals who started selling Immuno-QR at Bombay, Pune, Hyderabad, Bellary, Rajmundry, Guntur, Salem etc. Even without advertisement, patients were buying Immuno-QR from these centers. 23. This broke their backbone and frightened at the prospects of my catching up the market for Killer Viral Disease & Immune deficiency, the MNCs, launched an all out attack on me through TV, newspapers. They even went on to character assassination. 24. To top it all, the public litigation people (PUCL) well known for their personal interest, went to Kerala High Court saying that Immuno-QR is a "dangerous' medicine. This was done with lot of fan fare. Every newspapers headed by Malayala Manorama wrote that the next day the Court would decide to stop manufacture and distribution of Immuno-QR. The next day the Chief Justice Sri. B.N. Sreekrishna cancelled my production and sales of not only Immuno-QR, but also all other medicines, through an interim order. He even added that I should not manufacture any medicine in future too - even if I get a license for some other medicine. A very farsighted judgment!! 25. In the next hearing the same Chief Justice Sri. B.N. Sreekrishna said that: "We will be happy to recommend the medicine to the Central Government, if ultimately the stand of the 5th respondent and persons supporting him are found to be sustainable". 26. Supreme Court, whom I approached appealing against the order of Kerela High Court remarked that this is an "uncalled for order" and reinstated to me all other medicines except Immuno-QR for Killer Viral Disease & Immune deficiency. Supreme Court directed the Kerala High Court to re-examine their order against Immuno-QR. 27. Russian Scientists in a paper said that AIDS dementia; mental retardation and Alzheimer's disease have a common mechanism. Encouraged by the viral nature we have tried our medicine on 53 mentally challenged children in Alangad Panchayat and observed amazing results. Even the parents' meet thereafter was reported by many newspapers including The Hindu. 27 Alzheimer's patients were administered Immuno-QR in May 2001 in front of VIP's at Hassan Marikar Hall, TVM. After 50 days they were produced again in the presence of the Heath Minister, Shankaran and Mr.C.K.Padmanabhan. Memory returned to 24 of them. Both for mental retardation and Alzheimer's disease would has no medicine. These revelation only further infuriated opponents of Immuno-QR. 28. Probably no medicine, especially no ayurvedic medicine, ever faced so much attack. We get several calls from patients asking for medicine even now, in spite of all opposition. We ask our patients to wait for the court order. 29. Kerala High Court is to examine the merits and demerits of the Kerala Govt's cancellation order- but the Court has no jurisdiction to examine and test Immuno-QR. 30. Every Killer viral disease infected patients carry TB bacteria too. We have an ayurvedic, herbal, TB medicine, which has to be administered to every patient alongwith our Immuno-QR. TB treatment from modern science is not recommended by us, because the WHO had in a bulletin remarked that it is only 20% effective on TB. 31. This medicine, if proved right (We have no doubts about Immuno-QR's effectiveness on Killer diseases & Immune deficiency) can even solve India's foreign exchange debts. On 25.08.2003 the license for Immuno-QR was restored to me by the High Court of Kerala. T.A.

Miners \"The HIV/AIDS hypothesis is one hell of a mistake,\" said Kary B. Mullis, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 1993. Mullis made his comment in professor (of cell biology at UC Berkeley) Peter Duesberg\'s exhaustive book Inventing the AIDS Virus. (Duesberg is a pioneer in the discovery of the HIV family of viruses.) Duesberg claims that the war on AIDS has been fought in the \"name of the virus-AIDS hypothesis, which holds that HIV, the AIDS virus, is a new cause of thirty old diseases, including Kaposi\'s sarcoma, tuberculosis, dementia, pneumonia, weight loss, diarrhea, leukemia, and twenty-three others.\" He continues: \"If any of these previously known diseases now occurs in a patient who has antibodies against HIV (but rarely ever any HIV), then his or her disease is diagnosed as AIDS and is bamed on HIV. If the same disease occurs in a patient without HIV-antibodies, his or her disease is diagnosed by its old name and blamed on conventional chemical or microbial causes_: Kaposi\'s sarcoma HIV-antibody =s AIDS; Kaposi\'s sarcoma - HIV-antibody =s Kaposi\'s sarcoma. Tuberculosis HIV-antibody =s AIDS; Tuberculosis - HIV-antibody =s Tuberculosis.\" Duesberg says, \"Something is very wrong with this picture.\" Indeed, AIDS help groups such as Healthcare Education AIDS Liason (HEAL) in Seattle, Washington, based on the leadership of Duesberg and other scientists, question the entire AIDS hypothesis in their outreach literature: \"When the doctors and scientists who invented the AIDS virus start to back step, you must wonder if they\'ve been telling us the truth,\" notes a recent HEAL brochure. It quotes Dr. Luc Montagnier, the discoverer of HIV: \"HIV may be harmless.\" Indeed, most of the drugs prescribed for \"AIDS\" cause the kinds of symptoms attributed to HIV/AIDS. Regarding the strong evidence that HIV in fact may be harmless, Mullis says (in Inventing the AIDS Virus), \"We have not been able to discover why doctors prescribe a toxic drug called AZT (Zidovudine) to people who have no other complaint than the presence of antibodies to HIV in their blood. In fact, we cannot understand why humans would take that drug for any reason.\" Dave Rasnick, Ph.D., a designer of protease inhibitors, asserts \"AIDS drugs, including AZT, ddi, 3TC, d4t, and protease inhibitors_together cause diarrhea, nausea, fungal infections, kidney stones, and weakness [and] usually cost about $20,000 per year._ AZT was approved [by the FDA] in record time, and has led to the premature death of thousands of `AIDS patients. \" Duesberg notes: \"[many of these drugs appear to cause AIDS-like symptoms on their own._ AZT_[was] originally developed for chemotherapy to kill human cancer cells, and [brings] with [it] all the usual effects: hair loss, muscle degeneration, anemia, nausea, and vomiting.\" As the great Indian homeopath B. Bhattacharyya noted, \"To try to save life by crude methods is a delusion.\" Michael Martinez, author of an insightful,well-referenced paper (\"Why HIV Does not Cause AIDS and AIDS is not Contagious,\" published on the Internet by mclibel@europe.std.com) states that HIV and AIDS are not synonymous. In fact, there are very many HIV individuals who have never suffered from AIDS. Indeed, Martinez asserts that Dr. Robert Gallo did sloppy science when he announced the HIV virus was the cause of AIDS. His hypothesis remains unproven today. The toxic drug AZT is now the leading cause of AIDS in America. On the other hand, there has been starkly contrasting evidence that non-toxic drug and non-drug treatments for AIDS-related syndrome have not only rebuilt the immune systems of AIDS patients, but have helped many HIV positive individuals become HIV negative: Ozone therapy (banned by the FDA in the U.S.); combinations in various degrees of natural foods and vitamin supplemented diets, support groups, positive imagery, the will to live, massage therapy, prayer. Rasnick questions: Does the fact that these interventions are working and not the toxic drugs mean that the original AIDS hypothesis that HIV causes AIDS is wrong? AYURVEDA Notwithstanding the evidence that all the billions of dollars of NIH funded AIDS research has netted neither a drug cure nor one causal factor, such as a virus, let\'s look at some remarkable results in the treatment of the symptoms of AIDS and enhancement of HIV positive patients by Ayurveda. The science of life in India is Ayurveda. Ayu, a Sanskrit term, means life, and veda means knowledge, or science. Ayurveda views health as an unlimited composite of all of the features of life. Human life is not seen as separate from its environment, even cosmically. So, Ayurvedic practitioners incorporate all aspects of healing into their practices: Herbs, foods, physical therapies such as massage, oils, spirituality and even modern medicine. Ayurvedic professionals look for balance in the body and mind. MEETING THE \"AIDS CURER\" Dr. Sudhir Borgonha, M.D., an Indian physician writing for a South Indian publication titled Family Health (June, 1995), summarizes scanty reports and anecdotes circulating mostly in small Indian periodicals, weeklys, monthlys and even in the Times of India, about T.A. Majeed, an Ayurvedic pharmacist who formulated a combination of herbs, largely by \"chance\" that has been directly associated with healing of AIDS-related syndrome. Borgonha admits that Ayurveda conjures up images of quackery and potion-pushing amongst medical professionals in India, much like Western or Chinese herbology does for many allopathic medical practitioners in the West. However, Borgonha investigates the reports of cures for AIDS that have circulated regarding Majeed\'s Fair Pharma in Kochi in the state of Kerala, India, hoping either to \"bust the racket\" or see if there is any substance to the stories printed and the claims by Majeed. Majeed, it turns out, was already convinced about the positive effects of herbal therapy on the human immune system. He knew allopathic medicine was not finding a treatment for AIDS. Majeed studied Ayurvedic medicine for years (though he is not a physician) looking for a way to boost the immune system. He became convinced that a solution was in a combination of just over twenty assorted herbs (see inset). By chance a friend from the army happened to mention to him an herb that boosts immune function. Majeed added that herb to his formula, and called it ImmunoQR. Enter Chitra Soman. Chitra, a college student had unknowingly married (an arranged marriage) an AIDS patient who died a year after the wedding. Just three days after his death, Chitra gave birth on March 9, 1992 to his baby girl. Both Chitra and the girl were HIV positive, and suddenly became social outcasts. Chitra refused Majeed\'s offer of the ImmunoQR compound because he was not a doctor. Majeed then met with an HIV positive patient named Baburaj, who had been in the news. Baburaj agreed to take the medicine. Within fifteen days Baburaj wrote to Majeed to tell him that he felt better and was gaining weight. Majeed forwarded the letter to Chitra, who then agreed to take a course of treatment. Chitra was tested to be HIV negative on October 31, 1992. Baburaj was pronounced HIV negative on October 16th, 1992. Majeed had given his formula to over 2,000 patients as of February, 1995. \"Excepting a few,\" he said to The Statesman, of New Delhi, \"all have been cured.\" He stated that, as in the cases with Chitra and Baburaj, it takes about fifty days of treatment, and the patient fully recovers. After ninety days the patient is normal. He also commented that no medical authorities or hospitals will give Chitra or other patients a certificate proving them to be HIV negative. \"[They are] not willing,\" he stated, \"to accept that someone from an ancient system of medicine has found a cure to the deadly virus, whereas they have failed despite years of research. But some of these allopaths have been sending their friends and relatives to me for the medicine privately.\" Borgonha asked Majeed about doing a scientific inquiry with his formula, detailing the chemistry of the compounds, discovering the method by which each acts and then doing laboratory and clinical trials. Majeed says, \"If I try to do this it might take 1000 years. Meanwhile, thousands are suffering. Why not help them?\" Majeed is amenable to any form of trial. Borgonha concludes his investigation: \"I am convinced [Majeed\'s] medication is the culmination of years of hard work driven by a firm conviction and supported by the principles of Ayurveda. The documentary evidence is overwhelming in support of his cure._[He] is extremely knowledgeable about developments in the AIDS field, right from the structure _ to the latest tests and treatment options available._ As an allopath and a scientist, I will not claim that [Immuno-QR] works. I am all for further trials. On the other hand, if I or a family member contacted the [illness], I would have no hesitancy in taking a full course. What else can you offer an AIDS patient?\" USING IMMUNO-QR TO TREAT AIDS-RELATED SYNDROME/HIV/ARC IN THE U.S.A. George Eassey, O.M.D., a doctor of Oriental Medicine was treating AIDS patients with traditional Chinese medicine in Monterey, California. He read a story about Majeed in the New York-based Malayalam Pathram. He contacted the Journal to learn about Majeed. The year was 1991. Eassey had come from Kerala, the State where Majeed operates his pharmacy. Eassey made a trip to India to investigate. He studied the lab results in Kochi, and soon became convinced the formula had merit. He decided to bring the treatment to the U.S. Though hopeful, Eassey was cautious, as none of the Indian patients had ever taken AZT or other immuno-suppressant drugs due to their high cost. How would U.S. patients who had taken such drugs respond? \"Since 1992,\" reports the May, 1995 Europa Times, Europe\'s largest circulation English Language paper, \"Eassey has combined Immuno-QR with a Western fitness and nutritional regime to treat more than forty AIDS sufferers with remarkable results.\" The press in the U.S. has reported very little of his results or Majeed\'s story. An interview with Eassey was broadcast by the University of Washington\'s KCMV radio station on January 3, 1995. Eassey is forthcoming. He asserts that his medicine reverses AIDS symptoms, and he urges extensive clinical testing. To date, that is yet to happen. Eassey freely offers his evidence for the efficacy of the treatment: Starting in January, 1992, and continuing through January, 1995 he conducted a study involving 49 patients. Each entered the study in various stages of HIV/ARC/AIDS. Of the original subjects, 28 were lost to follow-up due to the lack of laboratory data. The remaining 21 patients were traced over a period ranging from 6 to 40 months. Of these 21 tracked patients, 6 observed complete reversal of AIDS related symptoms and were clinically tested HIV negative at the completion of the protocol. Moreover, in 99% of the 21 patients significant clinical improvement was observed (weight gain, decreased fatigue, lymphadenopathy, better sleep) as well as improvement in HIV related complications (fever, oral thrush, diarrhea, myalgia, skin rashes, cough, herpes zoster_). Additionally, CD4 count increased or remained stable in 89% of the patients, and this was clinically proven even in the patients with \"full blown\" AIDS who entered the study with initial CD4 cell counts at a level below 200. (CD4 is a molecule receptor that characteristically appears on T-4 lymphocyte cells.) There have been 6 other patients over and above these 21 tracked patients who have declined to release any kind of laboratory data; nevertheless, these individuals also appear to be leading normal lives. ONE MAN\'S STORY Eduardo Garcia alone, of the 49 patients in Eassey\'s study, was willing to come forward with his story. Garcia was tested HIV positive in April, 1991. He heard of Majeed through friends, and then of Eassey. Garcia had already started eating healthy food, including an increase in vegetables and vitamin supplements. He did not take AZT or other drugs. He began his program with Eassey in October, 1993. His program was to continue for 50 days. Interestingly, since 1986 Garcia had been suffering from arthritis and inflammation in his right knee and hand. He also had glandular swelling. By the third week of his program all inflammation and rheumatic symptoms were gone. He began to feel more energetic, and his appetite increased. He experienced no adverse side-effects. When he completed the treatment, he feared taking the test again, thinking he didn\'t want to be HIV positive. So, he took the program again, for 50 more days, just to make sure, knowing Majeed\'s formula was effective in killing not only the HIV virus, but others as well. He completed this round in April of 1994. He received emotional support from friends, which he felt was very important. He was without even a minor illness during this time. This gave him the confidence to try the HIV test again. On July 4, 1994 he tested HIV negative. He found this hard to believe, so, he tested again on July 27, 1994. Again the test showed him to be HIV negative. Today he leads a life full of gratitude. He shares his experience, which he calls a \"miracle cure\" with anyone wishing to hear. (Eassey has a video-taped interview with Garcia telling his story.) CONCLUDING REMARKS Dr. Eassey notes that researchers in the field of AIDS have widely accepted that long-term survivors of AIDS are people using some form of natural or complementary/alternative therapy. The open-minded have concluded that AIDS is not necessarily a fatal disease. Eassey runs The Healing Foundation (P.O. Box 6891, Bellevue, Washington, "
