hey mister,
firstly, i have NO INTENTION TO SHIFT IT AWAY FROM YOU.
1) DID YOU READ THE PADIAN STUDY ? If you do, it would already answer your questions. Your meaning of "spread" here is
obviously by sexually. I wouldnt put it this way, "AIDS is caused by vitamin deficiency" but based on the scientific study, since the
beginning of the AIDS epidemic, researchers have provided scientific evidence that supports the possibility that AIDS can be
effectively prevented, treated, and reverse by guaranteeing an optimal nutritional status to the individual or the patient
(
Jain VK, Chandra RD. Does nutritional deficiency predispose to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome? Nutr Res 1984; 4:
537and
Beach RS, Laura PF. Nutrition and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Ann Intern Med 1983; 99: 565-566
). And there's an opportunity for you even, when you can go to Dr Raxit's talk on the 14th June...Im very sure it is clearly a
very scientific thing that vitamins and minerals are useful for us. But, remember, vitamins and minerals arent patentable.
Therefore, it doesnt belong to any pharmaceutical's property, thus prices cant be raise high. Therefore, the intention is to sway
people away from using natural vitamins and minerals. But since, deficiency in vitamins and minerals cant be seen(you cant
know if your body is depleting in a certain minerals or vitamins, until 10 to 15 years ahead, when "illnesses" starts to come out)
One of the best example is scurvy. The person will bleed from everywhere. Last time, people think it is cause by a virus, but later
when a person starts eating orange(vit C), suddenly their body starts to heal. Imagine those poor people who are being
discriminated by the public...because they thought that those people got "Virus", everyone is out of FEAR. Your second question
obviously reflects FEAR more than common sense. anyway, UNTIL NOW,
there is no proof of sexual transmission, and the
epidemiological evidence indicates that it does not spread sexually.2) Yes, if that person is free from other blood diseases(HIV excluded) AND the same blood type AND that person is not a
hemophiliac, but again let me ask you, really, answer me back, WHAT IS AIDS ? and how deep is your knowledge for you to
question me(not that Im saying my knowledge is higher than you because I dont know you) ? If Im not mistaken, there's this
scientists who injects himself with the HIV blood of a person in front of the spanish television, he was doing fine years after that,
sorry really cant recall his name. anyway, this is an ideal answer for this situation but in reality it doesnt work like that, because
foreign biological matter is stressful to your immune system. Foreign biological matter regarded as being free of HIV has been
shown to trigger false positive HIV diagnoses in healthy mice. I would only accept a blood transfusion from anyone if I really
needed it, ie, if my life was threatened if I was not to have a blood transfusion. And there are two separate issues with blood that
from someone that is either diagnosed HIV positive or has been diagnosed as having AIDS (from actual illness, not just with a low
CD4 count)
If you have been diagnosed HIV positive it means that for at least certain antibodies you have a significantly higher than average
level of them. This is not inherently a risk to your own health as it may be providing protective benefit against something - eg,
malaria parasites. However, your antibodies transfused into someone else's bloodstream is a potential hazard to them, because
they are foreign proteins. Therefore their immune system may well mount a defence to them and create even more antibodies. If
someone is ill enough to be needing a blood transfusion you don't want to put even more strains on their system by forcing it to
react to a larger than average number of foreign proteins that might be in the blood transfused into them. This was one of the
problems with haemophiliacs: Because of the low purity of the factor VIII they were given, because of all the foreign proteins and
antibodies mixed in with it, they also had to be given an immunosuppressive drug to stop their immune system from totally
overreacting to all the foreign proteins. This was one of the main reasons they became ill, not because of alleged HIV in the blood.
Remember that the original purpose of HIV antibody tests was to protect people from being transfused with blood with HIV in. So
they were completely wrong about the blood having HIV in, but in fact you really want blood for transfusions to have as few
antibodies as possible to minimse the unnecessary strain on the person receiving it, so for that purpose it accidentally had some
validity - not completely, because the way the proteins that were designated HIV proteins were selected was seriously flawed,
and it would not be a reliable test for that purpose.
Regarding someone who was already ill and whose illness was designated as 'AIDS' - why would want to use blood from someone
who is ill to transfuse into someone else? That is asking for trouble, even without any putative HIV being present or not.
As I have told you, all your questions are already being answered. Even better, why not you go to Dr Raxit's talk ( an expert and ask him ???? ) geeezz, I seriously dont understand what's wrong with the common sense of people here, YOU INCLUDED...you have an expert coming to give a talk in KL, and there you are asking me questions that can be easily answered in a more better and comprehensive way than me.
I dont care how you interpret it, Im not going to answer any of your questions, if you like go and read the ones I already posted, else you can say WHATEVER you want.

Answering a question with a question isn't answering the question at all. Please, stop shifting the attention away, stop dodging the questions, and answer them.
However, it seems that propaganda spread by pharmaceutical companies to commercialize antiretroviral medications has prevented these ideas from being widely accepted, despite the toxicity of these medications.
I'm still waiting on your answers on two things:
1) If AIDS is caused by vitamin deficiency, why is it that it can spread between people?
2) If AIDS is caused by vitamin deficiency, would you put your money on the table and take a blood transfusion from an AIDS patient?
After you clear these (even saying "I don't know" is fine, really), I am open to answering your questions.
