Product Description A concise and convincing case that AIDS is nothing like what we have been told. Using simple, straightforward language, this book deconstructs popular myths about AIDS and fortifies its scientific data with powerful accounts from HIV positives who, like author Christine Maggiore, defy the HIV=AIDS=Death paradigm by living in wellness without pharmaceutical treatments and without fear of AIDS. This is vital information for anyone who has tested HIV positive and important reading for erveryone who has ever lived or loved in fear.
YES! Read this book. April 1, 2008 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in learning the truth about AIDS. An amazing eye-opener. Easy to see why thousands of MD's, PhD's, and Scientists support the view that Christine Maggiore so clearly puts forth here. Start doing some research on your own. You owe it to yourself not to just swallow hook line and sinker what Big Pharma, their media and official agencies put out as Orwellian propaganda. Seriously. Get a copy of this book and get The Other Side of AIDS.
False Information Does Not Advance the AIDS Debate January 7, 2008 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
As a counselor who has given dozens of HIV tests to clients, I must share that much of the information in Christine Maggiore's book is simply false. Although the text is now several years old, and hopefully better information is available to all interested, I still fear that her message will do harm. I welcome an open debate and discussion on medical topics, and I think it is important to remain skeptical of conventional medical wisdom. However, in the case of HIV, those suffering from the illness do not have the luxury of assuming that the establishment is entirely wrong. We do not fully understand how the virus works and how it affects people differently. But the science is highly accurate, and the research is there. I will not attempt to debunk all of her claims, rather I will just say that many are incorrect, including page 36 where she claims that "HIV is non-cytotoxic." In fact, HIV IS cytotoxic and destroys the host cell once it replicates itself. Medication for people with HIV is aimed at slowing this process. Historically, these types of views are common. Almost every generation has included naysayers who denounced the commonly held view on a significant medical ailment. I am not trying to defend the medical community in any way, but I think it is important to remember that her work does not provide accurate information, and her theory is based on personal interest , not on scientific fact.
Everything you see on TV and in the media is true, right? January 4, 2008 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have actually READ the book and the positive and negative comments. I want to point out some FACTS:
THE AUTHOR'S DAUGHTER DID NOT DIE FROM PNEUMONIA.
The mob frenzy surrounding this misdiagnosis is a perfect example of why we need to take media reports with a grain of salt, and realize that one "expert" opinion is not always the right one.
The final report showed no conclusive evidence of pneumonia, which is why the author was never charged and never went to jail. In fact, SEVERAL other pediatricians examined the author's daughter prior to her death and not one found any evidence of pneumonia, which was confirmed by another pathologist.
Most disturbingly, if you do some research on the coroner (James K. Ribe), you'll find that he has a lack of reliability in that he's flip-flopped his testimony on numerous occasions, and was in fact already being sued prior to the author's lawsuit against him for negligence.
Finally, the author's daughter was on Amoxicillin. Wikipedia: "The onset of an allergic reaction to Amoxicillin can be very sudden and intense - emergency medical attention must be sought as quickly as possible." So is it possible she could have died from Amoxicillan? By the way, both her husband and son repeatedly test HIV negative.
IF IT'S NOT HIV, THEN WHAT CAUSES AIDS?
As absurd as this question sounds, if you do your own research you'll find that many of the people who support the author are scientists, doctors, and Nobel laureates who were at the forefront in developing the HIV tests.
Rodney Richards, Ph.D., worked on the development of antibody (ELISA) and genetic "viral load" tests for Amgen and holds some related patents. He states that: "The diagnosis of being HIV positive is based on arbitrary combinations of tests, none of which are approved for diagnosing HIV. In fact there is no test for HIV. It's just an illusion."
Kary Mullis, who invented the PCR (what we now use as the "viral load" test), does not believe his invention can detect HIV nor does he believe HIV causes AIDS. In fact, he wrote the foreword for Christine's book. How is it that the INVENTOR of the test we use to measure "viral load" does not approve it for this use?
Now, a valid point that several reviewers have brought up is that many people were dying before being given toxic medications, such as AZT and anti-viral medicines, and this is most definitely true.
However, considering that many people during the 70's and 80's admitted to having upwards of hundreds (even thousands) of sex partners a year, recurrent infections with numerous STDs, prophylactic antibiotic use, cocaine and heroin abuse, use of poppers (nitrate inhalants), heavy alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep - is it surprising their immune systems collapsed? All of these factors alone are known to be immune-compromising. Now imagine them mixed together and long term.
Whether or not you agree with the author, you should do your own research and come to your own conclusions. "Scientific facts" change over time. Otherwise the earth would still be flat, masturbation would still be considered a disease, and AZT would still be considered a "lifesaving" drug.
She is right about 'AIDS'. It is a scam October 15, 2006 6 out of 9 found this review helpful
Every epidemic disease is now renamed 'AIDS' under the Bangui Definition.
Mortalities (non natural) in S.A. remain at the same 2.2% P.A. that they were BEFORE AIDS. Either every other disease in the region vanished overnight or 'AIDS' is simply the old diseases with a new name. You decide.
-------------
In Africa, the continent supposedly being decimated by HIV, HIV tests are rarely ever done, so there the idea that all patients with AIDS are infected with HIV is based entirely on supposition.
At a WHO conference in the Central African Republic in 1985, U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) introduced the "Bangui Definition" of AIDS in Africa.
The CDC officials later explained, "The definition was reached by consensus, based mostly on the delegates' experience in treating AIDS patients. It has proven a useful tool in determining the extent of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, especially in areas where no testing is available.
It's major components were prolonged fevers (for a month or more), weight loss of 10% or greater, and prolonged diarrhea..."(McCormick, 1996). Where AIDS is diagnosed clinically, large numbers of AIDS patients test negative for HIV. As no HIV testing is required in Africa we have no idea how many AIDS cases there are HIV positive (De ####, 1991; Gilks, 1991; Widy-Wirski, 1988).
_______
Other conditions common in underprivileged and impoverished communities that are known to cause false positive results are tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis and leprosy (Burke, 1993; Challakeree, 1993; Johnson, 1998; Kashala, 1994; MacKenzie,1992; Meyer, 1987). In fact, these are the primary health threats in Africa; several million cases of tuberculosis and malaria are reported in Africa each year - more than all the AIDS cases reported in Africa since 1982 (WHO, 1998)*.
Everyone's entitled to there opinion, but.... February 13, 2006 12 out of 36 found this review helpful
While Maggiore is entitled to her opinion, she should display it as such, an opinion. There are millions of people who think HIV isn't a big problem in itself. The problem is that this opinion, and spreading it as 'scientific' has the potential to undercut teachings of safer sex. HIV causes AIDS, and AIDS kills people. Are there drugs out there that are dangerous, of course. Are some AIDS drugs dangerous, possibly. But is HIV/AIDS itself deadly, definently. So while anyone can give there opinion, it is irresponsible for this author to pass her's off as 'scientific'. Feel free to read the book (get it from your library instead of paying for it though), but take it with a grain of salt, and then look into the facts for yourself.
