Yeah, although he wasn’t quite as successful with his other proposals

[SIZE=14pt]At the height of the AIDS crisis, the inventor of the famous anti-choking technique claimed HIV could be cured by injecting patients with malaria. [/SIZE]

It was the spring of 1993, and AIDS was devastating Hollywood and the world. AZT, the only FDA-approved treatment at the time, could slow but not stop the disease's progress, and life-saving antiretroviral therapies were still several years away.

Determined not to lose even one more colleague to the epidemic, a group of concerned showbiz folk -- among them Jon Voight, Estelle Getty and Amy Irving -- gathered at the Bel Air home of Joanne Carson, ex-wife of Johnny, to hear from someone who claimed to have a promising lead on a cure.

He was Dr. Henry Heimlich, the man behind the ubiquitous anti-choking maneuver, among other medical innovations which are credited with saving countless lives. The room was soon in thrall to his brazen, cost-effective proposal to eradicate the disease, possibly in as little as one year: Heimlich wanted to inject HIV-positive patients with malaria to induce fevers that would theoretically "stimulate the immune system," according to a copy of his proposal, thereby allowing "for the potential elimination of the HIV virus."

Heimlich referred to his treatment, which involved testing on American subjects in Mexico City without peer review, control groups or animal testing -- thereby circumventing protocols established for American scientists by the U.S. Department of Human Health and Services in 1979 -- as "malariotherapy."

Well, good night , all of you good people. I am tired. It has been a long day here and another one in store for tomorrow.....Sleep well, if you do....

 

Night Night....Sleep Tight........



Cheers Glen.

 

Just finished working.

 

11 days until I'm out of the Sandbox for good. Christ I am busy, and can't wait for two a month's holiday between jobs.

 

Dude, what's your job

 

Supplying stores and markets with sheep cheese. So driving around all morning with a lot of chatting with peeps for a minute or 2. Im generally finished with the route around 1 or 2 PM.

 

So that's what's up.

 

Lol

Congrats!

 

But I think that's gonna be it.
No way they're gonna beat Portugal :-/

 

I'm so happy Brexit is happening.

 

Me too, generally,
In fact, as far as I'm concerned the whole EU may collapse.

I do find some comments rather disgusting, insensitive and ignorant.






If immigration and "they're taking our joooobs" is your main argument, then you probably ain't got much to say.

 

However, I do so love standing in the EU-citizens line at airports. Moves faster, not so crowded.
Oh and the ability to live and work in 27 other countries is pretty cool.
Ah fuck it, let's keep the EU and fuck UK.

So in conclusion, I guess idgaf.

 

well i'm sure the e.u. doesn't have the purfact answer to everything, but at least they're willing to work on things the u.s. doesn't even want to admit exist. and to unite in keeping themselves from being fucked by what the u.s. wants to force on everyone. i'm not there, but that's what i see the e.u. as, and why i cheer for it. i know europe has its own corporate monsters too, but they've also been kept from destroying everything they way american ones have in the u.s.

 

Good grief almost choked to death on a hushpuppy from the gas station/eatery down the road. Probably should have got something to drink but I couldn't stop eating them. Too delicious!

 

Why?

 

Hoping for a Lens miracle

 

the old countries in europe, they want to bitch about immigration, that's one thing, they've been there for a while. but america, america IS immigrants. immigrants who took over a place that other people had already been living for thousands of years, and this only began less then half a thousand years ago. so when america bitches about immigration, does it not cross anybody's little pea brain, that its bitching about ITSELF?

as for britain, who were there saxons? they were german immigrants. ok, there wasn't a germany yet, but that's where. i mean everywhere people immigrated there from somewhere else ultimately. you go back far enough, everything human ultimately immigrated from uldivoi. which is someplace in africa. i think ethiopia. i'm don't remember for absolutely sure.

if you're gonna blame anyone for job loss, blame the corporations who move their jobs to wherever they can find the cheapest labour. even slaves if they think they can get away with it.

people do have a right though, to be skeptical of 'trade' agreements, which ceed the sovereignty of nations, to corporate board rooms.

i'm not saying that's what the e.u. is. that's what nafta and the tpp are though. and i think there's one like that in the works for between europe and the u.s.

the e.u. actually did something FOR europe. people who live there can travel between member countries, like it was all one big country. i see that as a very good thing.
but these other things, these so called 'trade' agreements, they're like surrender treaties, that today's nations forced indiginous cultures to sign over their soverignty to them.
so now the wheel comes around and corporations, are forcing big powerful nations, with all their armies and everything, and the corporations are forcing, or conning the people in soverign nations, to sign over their consent of the governed, to whatever degree they might have still had that, you know, to the corporations.

that's where the jobs are going. corporations shaving their overhead, which means their workforce, all for the worship of little green pieces of paper.

and austerity isn't the cure. its the disease.

 

recording LSD, i.e "ell ess dee" and then playing in in reverse sounds kinda like "weed seller" ... no WEED CELLAR ... i think that's what it says

 

Because now if I want to relocate to the EU, I don't have to compete against he British on an uneven playing field (in terms of visas, etc). It's good for me, but they well and truly fucked themselves.
