    There are many treatments for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, but so far, no way to KILL the HIV virus. Now, as Lee McGuire of CBS reports, some Houston doctors think they have found a way to do just that.

    If it truly is a cure, it will never be given the funding that it needs to become implemented on a wide-scale basis. AIDS was created soley for population reduction purposes.

    That's why they claim not to have a cure for cancer, either, even though there are numerous methods of curing cancer dating back decades that have been suppressed.

    Royal Raymond Rife, the man who developed some of the most powerful microscopes of his time, found a way of curing cancer with a resonant frequency generator back in the 1920's. The man had his life and career ruined, and all his research and instruments were confiscated.

    its true, ciggarettes are legal because they kill people thus keeping the population maintainable.

    I don't understand your population maintenance theory.

    If they were trying to maintain population, wasn't the baby boom a bad idea?

    Why are they now encouraging more people to have babies at younger ages (not even kidding, I've seen the information booths set up in malls)?

    The baby boom just happened. They didn't plan it.

    And I don't see where they are encouraging people to have babies at younger ages. Most people are more concerned with going to college and learning to serve the system when they are young so they can have lots of money to buy things. The birth rates in the Western countries have been way down over the past several decades.

    "I am very skeptical that any pharmaceutical company would run to put this into production considering how expensively lucrative it is to keep people sick and on meds. My own meds run me almost $2k a month.......multiply that times how many infected there are....and well.....I can't say I have enough faith in the pharms to say bye bye to that cash cow.


    The vaccination facet of this treatment is very promising tho, and great for mixed status relationships. " - From a buddy of mine

    So, Cures and vaccinations for Chicken Pox, Diphtheria, H. Flu., Malaria,Measles, Pertussis(whooping cough),Pnuemococcal,Polio,Tetanus,
    Typhoid fever,Yellow Fever,SmallPox, "just happened" too?

    AIDS is a small fry compared to most of these(as far as total deaths) why would (they) allow this?

    Ticks can cure aids... well maybe? idk.

    Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst say that a protein in the saliva of deer ticks prevents the HIV-1 virus from attaching to a group of white blood cells called T cells, which form the body’s first line of defence in fighting infections.




    Targeting T cells is the critical first step in the virus’ attack strategy.

    Writing about their findings in the journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, the researchers said that the protein also suppresses the activity of T Cells, which may be useful in treating autoimmune diseases like Lupus and Asthma, and in preventing the rejection of transplanted organs.

    When the HIV-1 virus enters a human host, it attaches to the surface of T cells before fusing with the cell membrane and injecting its DNA into the nucleus.

    “This allows the virus to use the machinery of the T cell to copy itself and multiply,” says Juan Anguita of the UMass Amherst department of veterinary and animal sciences.

    “Deer ticks, which are carriers of Lyme disease, produce a protein that can interfere with the initial attachment of the HIV-1 virus, which could lead to new treatments that stop the infection process before it begins,” the researcher added.

    According to the researchers, deer tick saliva contains the protein Salp15, which stops T cells from activating by binding to a specific site on their surface called the CD4 receptor.

    The CD4 receptor is also the site used by the HIV-1 virus to attach

    If HIV was created to kill people Magic Johnson would be dead.

    he's still alive because he's rich enough to afford to keep himself alive. but I can only imagine how much medicine he has to take.

    Thanks to a steady injection of cold hard cash directly into the veins, this doesn't have to be true
    As is anything else that kills people that's been around since the CIA was founded.

    HIV is a part of all living creatures. It is found in cows, lions, monkeys... everything.
    The CIA wants to wipe out all life forms? Come on. They are stupid, but not insane.

    Essentially HIV is the collapse of the immune system. It cannot be cured, any more than a person can be cured of bleeding. If you do things which destroy your immune system, then you will end up with HIV. I reckon its been around forever.

    It has a less than 1% transmission rate. Thus it cannot be seen to be contagious. It would need at least a 85% transmission rate to be contagious.

    At least, that is my perception of it.

    hiv isn't a collapse of your immune system nor do u get if u do things that destroy your immune system. it is an RNA virus that uses the dna and machinery of immune system cells to copy itself. It hasn't been around forever, it evolved from other viruses.

    Alright, so the Baby Boom wasn't planned, but the Birth Dearth was?....okay.

    A million and one things contributed to the lack of population growth in First World countries: natural occurences, societal development and many random incidents. It was not a plan by the "Elite" to keep the West under wraps.

    Every time they do more research they push the date back.
    First it arrived in the 80's, then around 1900,
    lately its been found in remains from 1800.

    The reason why its not noticed is because patholgists do not look for it if they have found the secondary infection, which they then classify as the primary cause. Its also not much fun poking around in dead bodies when you have a cause already.

    It is no coincidence that submissive homosexual males are the most prone. Anal sex destroys the immune system.

    Sticking needles in your arm destroys the immune system.

    Poor food sources (poverty) destroy the immune system.

    None of the theory can be tested scientifically for ethical reasons. Which ever way you look at it, its inductive reasoning.

    If it uses the immune system to copy itself then it is a part of the immune system. Think about it instead of parroting the contradictions in the corporate media.

    For something to be a transmitted disease, it must have a 85% transmission rate. Not <1%.

    Its unhealthy behaviour that is sometimes transmitted. There are countless cases of married couples where one is +, the other -, and they have been having unprotected sex for over a decade.

    There are numbers of cases of people that have gone from + to -.

    I think if there is any encouragement by the gov to keep the birth rate high it is because they need people to have wars...

    Full blown AIDS is created by the drugs given for HIV

    This will be great if they can actually come up with a cure. As for the people saying people are purposely not being cured to maintain the population, I think that's bull. There are already people dying everyday, so why would they let innocents die just to keep the planet from being "overpopulated"?
