So why aren't we all dead yet?

I read Dr. Duesberg's fine book the year it came out. It is complex in places so it took me some time and I had to reread certain parts to fully understand what was being said. It was well worth the time and energy to understand rather than take 'the authorities' word for it.

I knew that if he was wrong within ten years there would be such a large number of deaths due to AIDS that it would be impossible to refute the fact that it truly was an 'epidemic' and that Dr. Duesberg was totally wrong.

Well, where's the epidemic?

Thank you, Dr. Duesberg for your honesty and courage in the face of continuing herd mentality, sheep like belief in the 'authorities' and thank you most of all for putting your own career and reputation on the line for your integrity. It will be at least 50 years more before you are seen as the voice of reason and honesty that you are. Dr. Sammelweis faced the same idiocy from his peers as you face from yours. Of course there is not as much money to be make on washing hands or not washing hands as there is on the trillion dollar research scam of AIDS.

Thank you, Dr. Duesberg from all of us intelligent enough to follow your writing and honest enough to flip off the media and the government authoritiies to whom money and power come before honesty and caring about people's lives and health.

The truth will out. But not today I'm afraid.

2007 Update: will any and all reviewers that disagree with Dr. Duesberg's book please cite contradictory EVIDENCE and not simply opine that such evidence exists! An epidemic is just that. And there simply is no epidemic. Period! This was the media hype that created all this fear of a harmless "passenger virus" of which we all have many. The only epidemic is the epidemic of bleeting sheep that continue to tell us how horrible HIV is and how we simply must start on chemotherapy as soon as it is diagnosed. Baaaahhh!

HIV Does Not Cause AIDS

... That is the theme of this astounding book. In this highly persuasive piece, Dr. Peter Duesberg explains exactly why no cure for AIDS is in prospect despite more than twenty years of research and uncounted billions of dollars spent on AIDS research. (And many lives lost.) His answer is simple: AIDS is not caused by the HIV organism or any virus. Thus all attempts to "cure" the disease by killing the virus will be, and have been, uniformly unsuccessful since no virus is the cause of AIDS.

The reader is initially astonished to learn in this book he fact that no scientist has ever performed an experiment to establish a proof that HIV (or any virus) causes AIDS. Dr. Duesberg explains that Koch's Theorem, the accepted means of establishing that a specific organism causes a given disease, has never been applied to AIDS research. Attempts to do so have failed, and in fact the presence of HIV in AIDS patients who have succumbed to the disease is so low as to be nearly undetectable. Inexplicably, scientists, such as Dr. Duesberg, who question the present AIDS orthodoxy (that HIV is the cause of AIDS) have been made outcasts.

Another astounding argument that Dr. Duesberg makes convincingly is that AZT, the medication of choice for AIDS patients (endlessly drumbeated by the news media as the "treatment" for AIDS), is itself deadly dangerous. AZT is the cause of symptoms that lead to death, which symptoms are themselves indistinguishable from classic AIDS. AZT was originally intended to be used as a cancer treatment, but is so toxic to patients that it could not be used to treat cancer. In fact, AZT prevents all cells from reproducing, and a human being cannot take AZT in dosages sufficient to kill viruses and expect to live.

Duesberg makes a persuasive case that the US Federal Government, through the Center for Disease Control, has utterly centralized AIDS research by controlling almost all funding for it, with the result that the research is hopelessly politicized. As one wag put it, centralized planning for research works no better than the centralized economic planning which brought about the demise of the old Soviet Union. In any case, no cure for AIDS is in prospect after countless billions have been spent, and many lives lost. Further, AIDS has distinguished itself by stubbornly refusing to expand beyond its original risk groups--drug users, gay men, and hemophiliacs receiving regular transfusions. Although many predictions have been made that AIDS would quickly become a disease afflicting countless non-drug using heterosexuals, nothing of the sort has happened. In fact, AIDS has been relatively stable in its prevalence since its existence was first announced in the 1980s, with most or all of its increase consisting of a widening of the definition of AIDS. This redefining of certain traditional diseases by now classifying them as "AIDS" explains the so-called epidemic of the disease in Africa. Here, Dr. Duesberg is very persuasive.

Dr. Duesberg offers an alternative hypothesis for the cause of AIDS. He notes that since World War II there has not been a major epidemic in modern industrialized countries excluding AIDS. There is one health problem that has mushroomed, however--recreational drug use. Dr. Duesberg makes a convincing case that the characteristics and incidence of AIDS correlates very closely to the demographics of recreational drug use. The reader can judge for him or her self. I am soundly persuaded.

Orthodox AIDS scientists, politicians, journalists, and activists have desperately sought to marginalize Peter Duesberg and the growing group of scientists who agree with him. "The science is settled" they say. Dissent from the orthodox theory of AIDS is a moral, not a scientific issue, they say. (Come to think of it, where else have we heard this argument lately?)

In practice, the phrases "the science is settled" or "there is a consensus" is media code for the media's announced intent to favor one side, and deny coverage to the other, in a given controversy.

In point of fact, Dr. Duesberg is convincing that the news media have badly let the public down by failing to explain the problems and contradictions inherent in the "HIV-Causes-AIDS" orthodoxy. Why do we believe that this theory is correct when it fails to fulfill Koch's Theorem? The media should be asking this question. Instead, it has meekly fallen into line.

I predict that this book is destined to one day be heralded as a seminal work. Duesberg makes a strong case that the science of virology has run amok, aided by the US Federal Government, powerful drug companies, and misguided activists who want to be told a "magic bullet" cure is the key to solving the AIDS problem. This is a disturbing work that will shake the most skeptical reader's confidence in scientific orthodoxy. And make no mistake, a shake-up is overdue and vital.

Duesberg is a hero

Everyone owes it to himself/herself to read this book. You have nothing to lose but your ignorance. Everything Duesberg writes is carefully explained and supported and extensively footnoted. It's not hard to read. After 25 plus years of believing in the HIV theory of AIDS I finally saw the light. How could we all have been misled so totally for so long? HIV does NOT cause AIDS. That was a scam from the beginning. It was always all about money and prestige and government cover up and scientists going along to get along. Shouldn't we have known? Duesberg has been squelched for too long. Read this book. Buy an extra copy for a friend. It could save your life.

Duesberg is right about both AIDS and the politics of science

Contrary to popular belief, Peter Duesberg is not a quack. In fact, he is a widely acknowledged expert on retroviruses such as HIV. His credentials are impecable: he is a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a member of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences. Nevertheless, Dusberg is regarded by the uninformed as a quack because he has dared to scientifically investigate whether the retrovirus HIV actually causes the complex of diseases known as AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) -- which has widely been asserted without proof -- and has had the courage to report that research shows the answer is that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.

In this excellent book Prof. Duesberg discusses in detail, but in a highly readable manner, both the retrovirus HIV and the syndome AIDS and shows that they are not the same things. In fact, AIDS is not itself a single disease but, rather, is a complex of more than 20 separate diseases. The one commonality of the diseases in the AIDS syndrome is not HIV infection but the fact that they rarely infect people with healthy immune systems. In general, people who acquire any of the AIDS diseases have deficient immune systems. In poor countries, especially in Africa where the incidence of AIDS is high, immune deficiency is mainly due to severe malnutrition. In the developed world, including the U.S., immune deficiency is often caused by deleterious lifestyle behavior, including drug use. A person whose immune system is severely weakened is then vulnerable to the diseases in the AIDS complex. Immune-deficient people often also catch HIV which is why HIV and AIDS often -- but definitely not always -- are found together. However, HIV can also occur in people who do not suffer from AIDS and never will. A positive test for HIV antibodies merely means that at some time a person has been infected with HIV, not that they are infected with HIV now or that they have or ever will have AIDS.

Another point which Prof. Duesberg covers in this book is that modern science has become highly politicized, and that disagreement with current scientific dogma is strongly discouraged and often punished by inability to publish in recognized scientific journals. This is one reason why Duesberg has difficulty presenting his case to the public. As a scientist with 44 years experience at a major research institution, I regret to confirm that science has indeed become politicized and dogmatic. Please read this book if you want to know the truth about AIDS and modern medical politics.

The definitive AIDS dissident book

This book should be required reading. Those who are unaware of the failings of the current HIV/AIDS hypothesis are in for a big surprise. Peter Duesberg has been run out of the profession, branded with names like "loony" and "murderer", all for disputing the HIV/AIDS hypothesis. The book goes into detail about alternative causes of immunosuppression in AIDS patients. Recreational and prescribed drugs, malnutrition, and foreign proteins in hemophiliacs. The most shocking information in this book is that the majority of AIDS is actually caused by the drugs prescribed to HIV +'s!
Anyone who has been diagnosed HIV + should think twice (or perhaps three of four times) before starting anti-HIV medications. 4 stars because he doesn't go into other possible causes of AIDS, such as multiple infections,overuse of antibiotics,rectally deposited semen,corticosteroids,etc. Also there is not much in the book about alternative treatments for AIDS such as selenium. The fact remains that even if HIV does not cause AIDS, it is still a majour health problem.

We know that to err is human, but the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is one hell of a mistake. I say this rather strongly as a warning. Duesberg has been saying it for a long time. Read this book. --Kary B. Mullis, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1993
