According to a growing number of scientists and medical doctors (many of them with very impressive credentials), HIV is a harmless passenger virus, whereas AIDS is really a number of completely unrelated diseases that have been artificially lumped under the current AIDS definition. They claim that the vast majority of cases in the US and Europe are simply drug users who have blown out their immune systems because of long-term, end-point drug abuse. In Africa, they claim that they are dying of the traditional diseases associated with poverty, malnutrition and poor sanitation. Finally, they claim that the very drugs (read: highly toxic chemotherapy drugs) they use to treat AIDS patients are themselves killing people off by the tens of thousands...which, if true, is very unfortunate for the poor Africans Bush's AIDS bill is designed to help.

All the best—GGG
PS If you're interested, I would be glad to add you to my (infrequent) Rethinking AIDS ping list. It's time to reopen the question as to what really causes AIDS!
Is what you are saying in all respect provable or a pet theory? I suppose I can see what you are saying but then what about HIV being deadly. It makes sense that when a disease wears down your immune system you will die from simple things. I just don’t understand how they can get that so wrong.
