|
A new medical definition (Idiopathic CD4+ T-cell lymphocytopenia) was created to avoid the fact that AIDS occurs in the absence of HIV |
(65, 87)
|
| 2 |
|
HIV does not satisfy Koch’s postulates, the criteria that must be met in order to prove that a microbe causes a disease |
(90)
|
| 3 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs, including protease inhibitors, destroy T-cells |
(4 – 10)
|
| 4 |
|
Septrin (also called Septra, Bactrim, Co-trimoxazole) and anti-HIV drugs destroy mitochondria |
(11, 12)
|
| 5 |
|
The PCP (Pneumocystis Carinii pneumonia) fungus becomes resistant to Septrin |
(12)
|
| 6 |
|
Recreational drugs (heroin, poppers, crystal met, ecstasy, cocaine) reduce CD4 cell numbers |
(13 – 18,
58, 66 – 68)
|
| 7 |
|
HIV positive patients recover after they stop taking drugs |
(58)
|
| 8 |
|
Recreational drugs cause AIDS-defining diseases |
(see table 7 of 58)
|
| 9 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs cause AIDS-defining diseases |
(58)
|
| 10 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs inhibit human enzymes |
(11)
|
| 11 |
|
HIV positive Africans in dire poverty in Uganda and no access to anti-HIV drugs lived as long as HIV positives in the west who took anti-HIV drugs |
(33)
|
| 12 |
|
There are no comparative studies of survival in HIV negatives and combo-free HIV positive heterosexuals with no other risk factors |
|
| 13 |
|
Only 38% of healthy long-term positives had ever used AZT or other nuleoside analogs Compared with 94% of progressors |
(80)
|
| 14 |
|
Decreases in AIDS cases preceded the introduction of new drug treatments (Dec 1995) by three full years |
(see fig.6 of 106)
|
| 15 |
|
Anti-HIV drugs have anti-microbial effects |
(49, 50, 10)
|
| 16 |
|
The introduction of AZT (1987) did not cause a decline in the AIDS death rate |
(105)
|
| 17 |
|
In the only long term trial of AZT (The Concorde study) 172 participants died, 169 while taking AZT, 3 while on placebo |
(51)
|
| 18 |
|
Nucleoside analog drugs suppress/destroy the bone marrow where all immune system cells are born |
(26, 32, 111)
|
| 19 |
|
HIV+ children born to AZT treated mothers had a higher probability of developing severe disease or severe immunsuppression |
(53)
|
| 20 |
|
“Drug holidays” recover immune responses |
|
| 21 |
|
AZT caused the same transient increase in CD4 count in HIV negatives as in HIV positives |
(55)
|
| 22 |
|
There are no controlled studies showing that AIDS occurs in the absence of all other possible non-HIV causal factors |
|
| 23 |
|
Long-living, healthy, drug-free HIV positives are mostly ignored by AIDS researchers |
|
| 24 |
|
Apart from the early (fraudulent) AZT studies and the Concorde study no efficacy studies compare drugs with placebo |
|
| 25 |
|
There are well documented, non-HIV causes for every AIDS disease |
|
| 26 |
|
The incidence of AIDS-defining diseases among Western non-drug users has not been shown to exceed national backgrounds |
(58)
|
| 27 |
|
Early AIDS coincided with the cumulative effects of unprecedented, intense use of volatile nitrite (poppers) as an aphrodisiac marketed almost exclusively to homosexuals |
(102)
|
| 28 |
|
AIDS can be treated effectively without anti-HIV drugs |
(39 – 42)
|
| 29 |
|
On average, viral load overestimates infectious HIV by a factor of 60,000 |
(21)
|
| 30 |
|
Even a PCR method that can detect 1 infected cell in 100000 found very little HIV DNA in HIV positives |
(23)
|
| 31 |
|
HIV could not be cultured from people with a detectable viral load |
(19, 21)
|
| 32 |
|
HIV has never been properly isolated |
(20)
|
| 33 |
|
After many billions of dollars of research effort over 20 years, HIV scientists still cannot explain how HIV causes AIDS |
|
| 34 |
|
After many billions of dollars of research effort over 20 years there is no vaccine and no cure, there are only toxic drugs |
|
| 35 |
|
There was no increase in HIV seroprevalence outside risk groups in the UK despite record STD rates and teenage pregnancy rates |
(25)
|
| 36 |
|
HIV DNA was found to be constant from the time of seroconversion, but CD4 count continually went down |
(29)
|
| 37 |
|
CD4 count goes down and viral load goes up while on the anti-HIV drugs |
|
| 38 |
|
AZT is hardly triphosphorylated by the body so it cannot possibly have an anti-HIV effect |
(30)
|
| 39 |
|
AZT has no effect on HIV DNA but makes viral load (HIV RNA) go down |
(31)
|
| 40 |
|
Research throughout the 1970s showed that retroviruses do not kill cells |
|
| 41 |
|
The probability of heterosexual transmission of HIV was found to be very low (1 in a 1000) |
(34)
|
| 42 |
|
HIV antibody tests give repeated false positives and seroreversions can occur |
|
| 43 |
|
HIV tests are sensitive to nonspecific antibody binding |
|
| 44 |
|
HIV tests involve an arbitrary dilution factor, everyone tests positive (because of nonspecific antibody binding) if their serum is undiluted |
(104)
|
| 45 |
|
All the proteins used in the HIV test are associated with retroviral genes that are found naturally (endogenous) in all humans |
(72)
|
| 46 |
|
Endogenous retroviruses can generate immune responses in humans |
(73, 74)
|
| 47 |
|
None of the HIV proteins tested for have been proven to belong to HIV |
(75)
|
| 48 |
|
There are over 60 different conditions, including pregnancy, that have been known to generate false positives on the HIV test |
(91)
|
| 49 |
|
The Elisa, Western Blot and PCR tests for HIV all carry disclaimers nullifying their detection of HIV |
|
| 50 |
|
The criteria for HIV-positivity used in the antibody tests varies between countries and between organizations within a country and can produce indeterminate (neither positive or negative) results |
(75, 109)
|
| 51 |
|
The viral load PCR primers were found to be nonspecific for “HIV” genetic sequences |
(35)
|
| 52 |
|
The viral load test gives false negatives |
(36)
|
| 53 |
|
The viral load test gives false positives |
(36)
|
| 54 |
|
The viral load test has low reproducibility |
(36 – 38)
|
| 55 |
|
Direct measurements showed no correlation between viral load and CD4 count |
(43)
|
| 56 |
|
Many conditions cause reduced CD4 counts |
(86)
|
| 57 |
|
CD4 counts between 200 and 300 have been observed in healthy HIV negatives |
(87)
|
| 58 |
|
There are no studies comparing CD4 cell variations in combo-free HIV positives (with no risk factors) and HIV negatives |
|
| 59 |
|
According to the AIDS establishment, a heterosexual AIDS “epidemic” of African origin started off in the West as a homosexual “epidemic” |
|
| 60 |
|
In 1985 HIV incidence in Southern Africa was confined to homosexuals who had been to the US and those who had had sex with them |
(88, 89)
|
| 61 |
|
The USA was found to be the world’s most sexually promiscuous nation |
(27)
|
| 62 |
|
Condoms (made from polyisoprene) have holes in much larger than HIV |
(28, 110)
|
| 64 |
|
Only a minute proportion of Africans have actually been tested for HIV, seroprevalence estimates are derived from extrapolations based on unrepresentative samples from maternity clinics |
|
| 65 |
|
In Africa a single positive ELISA test or even a single “rapid” (saliva/urine) test is considered proof of HIV infection, “proof” in the developed world requires a series of tests |
|
| 66 |
|
HIV seroprevalence was found to be much lower in South African prisons than in the general population |
(1)
|
| 67 |
|
The vast majority of African “AIDS patients” tested HIV negative |
(44, 45)
|
| 68 |
|
In “AIDS ravaged” Zambia since 1980 the population has increased and even the rate of increase in population has increased! |
(46)
|
| 69 |
|
In “AIDS ravaged” South Africa many coffin makers are either doing a slack trade or have gone out of business |
(47)
|
| 70 |
|
The total number of AIDS cases in Africa consists almost entirely of estimated cases rather than known, registered cases |
(54)
|
| 71 |
|
PCP is the typical AIDS defining disease in Western adults but it is almost entirely confined to young children in Africa |
(2, 3)
|
| 72 |
|
There is no Western heterosexual AIDS epidemic |
|
| 73 |
|
IVDUs who consistently used a clean needle exchange program were 10.2 to 22.9 times MORE likely to test HIV positive than nonusers |
(48)
|
| 74 |
|
Non-human primates “progress” to AIDS (SAIDS) much quicker than humans do |
(107)
|
| 75 |
|
SIV does not cause SAIDS in wild primate populations |
(108)
|
| 76 |
|
SIV seroprevalence is too low in wild primate populations to account for SIV resistance in these populations |
(22)
|
| 77 |
|
SIV seroprevalence in captive SIV naïve primate populations was found to be very low |
(22)
|
| 78 |
|
Until the early 1930s many thousands of European men received transplants from chimpanzees and did not get AIDS |
(62)
|
| 79 |
|
Uganda study showed HIV-positivity did not indicate a new cause of disease, only decreased mortality in HIV negatives |
(52)
|
| 80 |
|
One thousand medical staff a year accidentally contract hepatitis from needles yet by 1998 there were no documented cases of surgeons or emergency medical technicians/paramedics getting AIDS, or even HIV, from occupational exposure |
(58, Table 16
of 106 )
|
| 81 |
|
All AIDS patients have lowered levels of glutathione, the major water soluble intracellular antioxidant |
(59, 60)
|
| 82 |
|
The antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine inhibits “HIV replication” |
(61)
|
| 83 |
|
Reactive oxygen species are implicated in the induction of HIV expression and cell death |
(40)
|
| 85 |
|
Rectally deposited sperm can be immunosuppressive, mitogenic, oxidizing and a stimulator of antigen production |
(94 -100)
|
| 86 |
|
Low T-cell counts were shown to occur before HIV seroconversion and to predict seroconversion |
(92, 93)
|
| 87 |
|
HIV-like genetic sequences have been found in the HIV negative human genome |
(63)
|
| 89 |
|
Toxic intracellular stresses can create novel genetic sequences |
(64)
|
| 90 |
|
HIV showed over 40% variation in an essential gene (protease) sequence (103) |
|
| 91 |
|
Foreign protein transfusions were found to be immune suppressive |
(79, 81, 84, 85)
|
| 92 |
|
Hemophiliacs can have hypergammaglobulinaemia which can cause false HIV positive test results |
(69)
|
| 93 |
|
Up to 99.9% of HIV genomes in plasma may be defective |
(70)
|
| 94 |
|
Mortality in hemophiliacs began to increase in exactly the same year they began taking AZT |
(81, 82)
|
| 95 |
|
The AIDS risk of hemophiliacs on AZT was 4.5 times higher, and mortality 2.4 times higher, than untreated controls |
(83)
|
| 96 |
|
Infectious HIV (a delicate virus) does not survive the Factor VIII preparation process |
(76 – 78)
|
| 97 |
|
HIV theorists have made incorrect predictions throughout the HIV era |
|
| 98 |
|
Corticosteroids and endogenous cortisol suppress cellular immune responses and cortisol destroys immature T-cells |
(24)
|
| 99 |
|
Effective cellular immunity relies upon nitric oxide gas defense, see for example Eur. J. Immunol. 2002, 32(5):1455-63 |
|
| 100 |
|
AIDS spreads non-exponentially, unlike infectious disease |
(58)
|
|
These inconsistencies have been researched and compiled by John Kirkham, who
has a Master of Research Degree in Science and has been peer-review published.
