Ummm, if HIV is not the cause of AIDS then why do the treatment protocols based that “flawed” science seem to extend AIDS patients’ life expectancies?

Life expectancy is going up, but it has nothing to do with the AIDS drugs. For Modern Conservative reports that:

Ronald B Reisler M.D., M.P.H. did a five-year review (1996-2001) of about 3000 HIV/AIDS patients who took the anti-retroviral cocktails. He found that:

1.332 patients suffered an “AIDS” event, meaning some purported manifestation of the underlying disease, however;

2. 675 patients suffered a “Grade 4” event, meaning a life-threatening illness was attributed to the drugs, not the virus. The most common of these side-effects were:

a. Liver damage
b. Neutropenia (white blood cell loss)
c. Anemia (red blood cell loss)
d. Cardiovascular, including heart attacks
e. Pancreatitis
f. Psychiatric disorders
g. Kidney problems
h. Thrombocytopenia
i. Hemorrhage

In sum, twice as many AIDS patients fell ill from the drugs than from AIDS – which is exactly what Dr. Duesberg predicted would happen in the late 1980s.

You have to ask yourself who sets those life expectancies? How did Magic Johnson become "cured" of HIV after refusing those protocols?

My cousin has had HIV for 20 years......and is still kicking. He refused the treatments... but allows himself to be tested yearly.

I remember reading....and I think it was Duesberg...that said there was typically a 2 year prognosis AFTER starting the treatment protocol... It really perked up my ears....and made me look at the disease in a totally different way.
