the AIDS-Dissent world is divided into three camps. The first camp is led by
Peter Duesberg, the world famous retrovirologist and cancer researcher, who
argues that the HIV has indeed been isolated but that it is harmless and
could not possibly do the things claimed for it. The second camp,
represented by the Perth Group, argues that the HIV has NEVER even been
isolated. The third camp, headed-up by German molecular-biologist Stefan
Lanka, argues that retroviruses are non-existent--a by- product of the
mainstream cancer establishments' habit of looking for a virus to explain
every disease (In fact, I think that the Perth Group has moved closer to
Lanka's position of late but I'm not totally sure). I find Lanka's argument
to be not just compelling but quite convincing. All of these dissidents
agree that the anti-AIDS drugs are more or less deadly and that nutritional
approaches to "AIDS" are much more promi!

populations around the world could largely (and roughly) be explained as
follows:

> Gay Men: large scale use of highly toxic illegal substances, prescription
of highly toxic anti-AIDS drugs, especially AZT (iatrogenesis),
mal-nutrition, dehydration, stress from the "certainty" of death from AIDS,
numerous bio-chemical complications that follow from any combination of the
above.

> African-Americans (and other marginalized populations in the US): crack,
iatrogenesis, mal-nutrition, dehydration, poverty, stress, comlications that
follow from any combination of the above.
>
> Africans: poverty, mal-nutrition, dehydration, occasional prescription of
"experimental AIDS drugs",
> iatrogenesis, isolation of those "infected" with HIV, stress, comlications
from all the above.

> Asia: Much of the same as in Africa without the experimental drugs.
