KIGALI, Rwanda -- Researchers said nearly two decades ago that this tiny country was part of an AIDS Belt stretching across the midsection of Africa, a place so infected with a new, incurable disease that, in the hardest-hit places, one in three working-age adults were already doomed to die of it.

But AIDS deaths on the predicted scale never arrived here, government health officials say. A new national study illustrates why: The rate of HIV infection among Rwandans ages 15 to 49 is 3 percent, according to the study, enough to qualify as a major health problem but not nearly the national catastrophe once predicted.

Thanks for the above article. We were all supposed to be dead by now, not just in Africa. The AIDS charity rackets apparently cannot collect any more money from an increasingly poor US population, so the whole racket has to justify fading away by claiming they "miscalculated" the AIDS cases. In case anyone is unaware, AIDS is an acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, a condition of immune deficiency. A condition is not a disease. We acquire immune deficiency usually through (1) malnutrition; (2) intravenous drug use, both legal and illegal; (3) blood transfusions (commonly needed by hemophiliacs) and (4) old age. In Africa, AIDS is usually caused by malnutrition. Most people in Africa have not been tested by the worthless test. HIV is a virus commonly found in our system and does not predict immune deficiency. The so-called test not only comes up with false positives, especially among pregnant women, but is a test for immunities, an absurdity. The definition of AIDs changes from area to area, a sign that it is contrived. After all TB is always TB, no matter where it is, and the criteria for it are always the same. In Africa, having constant diarrhea or being very thin (wasting disease) is called AIDS. In fact, "wasting disease" is usually malaria in Africa. In the US, "AIDS" is usually caused by intravenous drug use, usually a problem of poverty but not always. Poor people usually do not eat well, and if they are using intravenous drugs, they then have 2 reasons to have a weak immune system. Syphilis, a venereal disease, is the great masquerader and people diagnosed with "AIDS" often have venereal disease, usually syphilis, and if it was treated, they wre not given sufficient antibiotics. Using condoms is a good way to prevent venereal disease and pregnancy, so all men engaged in sex should use condoms, unless they wish to become fathers. The life expectancy of hemophiliacs has increased since "AIDS" was announced in 1981. Old age is by definition a state of a weak immune system, which is why cancer is more common among the old. Often people with "AIDS" develop cancer, a sign their immune system broke down, usually from malnutrition, use of intravenous drugs, acquiring venereal disease and not having it treated with sufficient antibiotics, or all of these. The drugs that are given must be taken with 3 good meals a day, a good way to cure most things, including malnutrition. One drug that was prescribed is the poisonous AZT, a failed cancer drug that should never be taken by anyone as the "side effect" is death. Death is not, of course, a side effect, but a mandate to remove the drug from the market immediately. This racket suddenly disappeared from most of the US in 1996, after many deaths, mostly in the gay community, caused by improperly treated venereal disease, intravenous drug use and/or suspicious government medical tests and vaccines in the gay community. San Francisco always had a high venereal disease rate until "AIDS" came along, then suddenly it was called "AIDS;" it is now caused venereal disease when the tests show it to be VD. The name of the game is always money in this society. "AIDS" was certainly germ warfare against the gay community from 1981 to 1996. As soon as the questioning began, suddenly it disappeared.

Clearly many people in Africa are dying, and the current WHO reports claim that AIDS is the single cause of the premature deaths. However, increasing data points to conditions of severe poverty as primary in leading to the symptoms of AIDS, a weakened human immune system..

Another factor of AIDS in Africa is the swindle by big PHARMA corporations that seek to profit from the higher death rates in Africa due to weakened human immune systems..

IF AIDS is the cause of the deaths, THEN Pharma can offer a solution at a price they set.

IF AIDS is NOT the cause of the deaths, THEN Pharma cannot offer a solution, though social justice and equality of land reform could offer a solution to deaths from malnutrition..

AIDS dissidents also mention that the symptoms of malnutrition, unsanitary water and other poverty induced illnesses mimics the symptoms of AIDS, as malnutrition, unsanitary drinking water, depression and other poverty related problems also supress the human immune system in a manner similar to AIDS. How many people suffering from malnutrition, unsanitary water are misdiagnosed as having AIDS to the benefit of corporate Pharma??

Here's an article about an orphanage that has reversed HIV positive babies by using nutrition, love and general care..

"The article showed that multiple, non-specific assaults on the immune system, which are extremely common in Africa as a result of poverty, prostitution and the breakdown of medical and social services, may be causing millions to test positive when they are not infected with HIV."

Tests that look at T-cells can also confuse AIDS with malnutrition;

"Malnutrition causes severe atrophy in the thymus and lymphoid organs and impairs the function of the T cells. These changes are reversible by feeding. The size of the thymus in malnourished children increased from 20% of normal to 107% of normal, following nine weeks of feeding." Mohammed Ali Al-Bayati, Ph.D

The main difference in diagnosis is that malnutrition cannot be profited on by pharmaceutical corporations, the problem is inherent to an export based cash crop economy (ie., tobacco, coffee, beef, etc..) that ties up farmland and people who would ordinarily by growing nutritious food crops for their villages. Here is where corporate friendly free trade agreements (WTO) dominate the discussion of what is best for Africans while indigenous farming cultures are replaced by monoculture plantation export cash crop systems that result in no nutritional benefit for African people..

"Within Southern Africa-where, for example, tobacco production has expanded by 50 percent per year over the past three years in communal, small-scale, and resettlement areas -the most desirable land is continually used for export agriculture, and food production is sacrificed to boost agricultural production. After each year's harvest the soil is often left unprotected, accelerating erosion. And small farmers are pushed ever farther into marginal land. This marginalization is not trivial: it affects the African majority, who remain wage laborers and small-scale farmers without savings or capital to devote to expansion."

Here's the main point; Loss of food sovereignty in Africa directly correlates with the increased death rate caused by a MALNUTRITION EPIDEMIC misdiagnosed as an AIDS epidemic!!

Dr. Rath's Health Foundation challenges the pharma approach to AIDS that ignores nutrition;

"Dr. Rath summarises this debate as follows:

“AIDS is a multi-billion dollar business, but only as long as this epidemic spreads and only as long as the pharmaceutical investment business is able to protect its ‘AIDS market monopoly’ based on patented toxic AIDS drugs.

Any challenge or break of this pharmaceutical monopoly of so-called antiretrovirals, or ARVs, will inevitably lead to the collapse of this multi-billion dollar market with patented AIDS drugs. Fact is, science-based micronutrients - established many decades ago in the textbooks of biology as key biological factors for improving immune deficiencies – are the greatest threat to the survival of the AIDS drug business.

Any media reports discrediting micronutrients serve neither the scientific truth nor the patients affected by AIDS. In fact, the sole benefactors of such an irresponsible attack are the stakeholders of the pharmaceutical investment business in the AIDS epidemic. ”

I find this interesting too: -

The CDC no longer publishes teen 'AIDS' figures but made 13 year old's a category unto themselves (go figure that) and lumped teenagers and those up to 26 (if I remember right) together.

The only reason for this sudden change after so many years of teens being their own category was to hide the lack of teen AIDS cases.

Can you think of any other possible reason for making 13 year old's a category (hardly a high risk group)?
