Black market for "lifesaving HIV treatments"

The Washington Post

Watchdog: Some Medicare spending on HIV drugs appear questionable in 2012 audit 
By Charles Ornstein

"Medicare spent more than $30 million in 2012 on questionable HIV medication costs, the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services said in a report set for release Wednesday.

The report offers a litany of possible fraud schemes, all paid for by Medicare’s prescription drug program known as Part D."

 Medicare paid over $30 million in fraud schemes to thieves re-sell the "lifesaving treatments."  

The only thing missed is that every penny Medicare, Medicaid, ADAP, the VA, etc pays for "ARVs" is a gigantic fraud for worthless, dangeorus toxic chemotherapy.--Terry Michael

In Detroit, a 77-year-old woman purportedly filled $33,500 worth of prescriptions for 10 different HIV medications. But there’s no record that she had HIV or that she had visited the doctors who wrote the scripts.

A 48-year-old in Miami went to 28 pharmacies to pick up HIV drugs worth nearly $200,000, almost 10 times what average patients get in a year. The prescriptions were supposedly written by 16 health providers.

And on a single day, a third patient received $17,500 worth of HIV drugs ­ and none the rest of the year. She acquired more than twice the recommended dose of five HIV drug ingredients.

Black gay men run higher risk of HIV infection despite fewer partners

by Terry Michael

From the same 20th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (Atlanta, March 2013) that gave us the "HIV" baby "cure," we get another attempt to explain-away the exponential difference of "HIV positive" rates between African Americans and Caucasians (7x for black males, 20x for back females, according to the CDC.)

500% disparity between blacks and whites testing "positive" for HIV

If it's a sexually and intravenously transmitted pathogen, there's a word for those 7x and 20x claims, including the "HIV heterosexual pandemic" in Africa, and it's racism.  South Africa's former President Thabo Mbeki recognized the hallucinations of white medicine men about the sexual practices of dark-skinned people. Latter-day "bearers of the white man's burden" exported to deepest, darkest Africa both the "origin of HIV" (transferred to gay white males in Greenwich Village via black-skinned people in Haiti, of course) and the "HIV epidemic" that never occurred in the white heterosexual West.

ABC News very skeptical of the purported "cure" of "HIV positive" infant

Experts Question So-Called HIV 'Cure'
I have copied the text below so I could highlight, in BLUE, some of it, containing the most skeptical phrases and paragraphs.  This piece stood out to me, because it asked a lot of the right questions, particularly about whether the physician had anything resembling "informed consent" to administer the toxic chemo  to a one-day-old child, including high doses of three drugs, with AZT and a "double dose" of nevirapine. The physician practically admits she did not have informed consent.

The questions finally being raised in the aftermath of all the media hype demonstrate the dangers of science-by-press-release.  No peer-reviewed paper was published, and I am not sure one is even being prepared. So a laundry list of questions remains about the methodology, as well as the facts.

Here's my highlighted version of the ABC article:

Baby born with HIV is apparently cured with aggressive drug treatment byDavid Brown at the Washington Post.

To: Dr. David Brown, The Washington Post, re: your story today:
Baby born with HIV is apparently cured with aggressive drug treatment
David,

Some questions you may not have thought to ask:

(1)  What was the race of the mother, treated so aggressively by Caucasian physician Dr. Hannah Gay of Mississippi?
http://www.ummchealth.com/doctors/gay_hannah/ 

(2) And speaking of race, how can it be that African American women are 20x more likely than Caucasian women, according to the CDC,
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/aa/ ...to be "infected" by a purportedly sexually transmitted pathogen? Do they have 20 times as much sex?

(3) What was the informed consent obtained from the mother, for "treatment" of a day-old infant with therapeutic doses of chemotherapy cocktails that have well-assessed, highly toxic adverse effects?

(4) Does it not seem a little odd to you that with 50,000 alleged new "HIV infections" every year in the U.S. fewer than 200 are from mother-to-child transmission, given the claim that this is a blood-borne pathogen?

(5) What is the evidence that 300,000 babies around the world are "infected" with HIV every year from mother-to-child transmission? Fauci uses "one thousand per day." What nice round numbers.  

(6) What were the presenting illnesses--at 30 hours old--of this baby, who was "cured?"  How do you "cure" someone of a retrovirus you don't even know a host has at the time you start administering toxic drugs--which you seem to acknowledge in your story, when you note there's no way to know whether a new-born infant is carrying an active viral pathogen or just its mother's anti-bodies?

This is incredible, even for The HIV-AIDS Industry.  It is just another attempt to line the pockets of drug companies, like Tony Fauci's friends at Gilead Sciences, selling the toxic chemotherapy, sales of which were about $20 billion in 2012, up 250% from just five years before.  And these thousand-dollar-per-month drugs are funded almost entirely by taxpayers.

This "cure" means child-and-family service agencies around the country, already threatening mothers with taking away their babies for refusing "treatment," will have another bullet to hold to the head of those who question drugging a defenseless child.

As always, in your stories, you refuse to quote a single dissenting voice.  Ask Dr. Jay Levy, the "third discoverer of HIV," what he thinks about early drugging.  Ask Dr. Nancy Turner Banks, a Harvard Medical School-educated OBGYN, what she thinks. Ask Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, who treated the first cases of immune deficiency among gay men in New York, what he thinks. (I can supply you with their contact information.)

--Terry Michaels

Today, December 1, 2012, The HIV-AID$ Industry celebrates another World AID$ Day

It should be called "World afrAID$ Day."  It is their annual fear-mongering, to push universal "HIV testing," so more customers can be captured for the toxic chemotherapy pushed by Gilead Sciences and the other purveyors of immune deficiency by prescription.

On the eve of World afrAID$ Day, Clark Baker's project to assist victims of HIV+ Panic statutes reported another victory for sanity.  Read about it here:

We are three decades into the madness.  I will continue until my last breath to rage against The HIV-AID$ Machine.

Washington Post's David Brown says HIV discoverer Luc Montagnier NOT RELEVANT

At "media" panel 7/22/12 organized by AIDS czar Anthony Fauci 

(he funded Swiss advocacy NGO's AIDS Conference in DC, with $7 million in U.S. taxes),

          Terry Michael asked Washington Post's David Brown why he/other journalists refuse to quote 2008 

Nobelist Luc Montagnier, "that body can rid itself of HIV in a few weeks with good immunity". 

Brown disparaged Montagnier as "largely irrelevant for the past 15-20 years." 

POPULAR HIV DRUG MAY CAUSE MEMORY DECLINES

Release Date: 09/27/2012

Johns Hopkins study suggests the commonly prescribed anti-retroviral drug efavirenz attacks brain cells

The way the body metabolizes a commonly prescribed anti-retroviral drug that is used long term by patients infected with HIV may contribute to cognitive impairment by damaging nerve cells, a new Johns Hopkins research suggests.

Nearly 50 percent of people infected with HIV will eventually develop some form of brain damage that, while mild, can affect the ability to drive, work or participate in many daily activities. It has long been assumed that the disease was causing the damage, but Hopkins researchers say the drug efavirenz may play a key role.

Note the second paragraph of the press release from HopkinsMedicine.org, bold italics emphasis added by me:

Nearly 50 percent of people infected with HIV will eventually develop some form of brain damage that, while mild, can affect the ability to drive, work or participate in many daily activities. It has long been assumed that the disease was causing the damage, but Hopkins researchers say the drug efavirenz may play a key role.

On occasion, a little bit of  truth--like the words above--escapes from the National Institutes of Health "HIV-AIDS" knowledge monopoly, created by Dr. Anthony Fauci in 1984, when he was named head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Still directing NIAID 28 years later, Fauci's fame as an un-elected bureaucrat is matched only by the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

One of the most media-noticed science bureaucrats in modern American history, Dr. Fauci has had virtual control over all policy decisions related to the American government response to the collapse of immune systems in a subset of urban gay males in the early 1980's. In his NIAID position, Fauci has controlled tens of billions of dollars in "HIV-AIDS" research grants from NIH, spread around the country and the world. He has never allowed one dollar of U.S. taxpayer money to be spent on any theory of "AIDS" other than the single retroviral pathogen theory eagerly advanced by his NIH/National Cancer Institute colleague, Dr. Robert Gallo, in a press conference on April 23, 1984--before publication of any scientific papers claiming that an amorphous immune deficiency disorder noticed among urban American gay males was "probably" caused by a mysterious retrovirus.

Fauci has been the U.S. government's chief proponent of "anti-retroviral" (ARV) drugs, now a $17 billion segment of the pharmaceutical industry (as of the end 2011.)

Thus, it is not often that researchers go off script, and admit that the highly toxic ARV chemotherapy is the real cause of ill health in those said to be "infected" with a retrovirus. "AIDS by prescription," as Dr. Peter Duesberg observed many years ago.

When will this iatrogenic illness madness end?

--Terry Michael

People infected with HIV typically take a cocktail of medications to suppress the virus, and many will take the drugs for decades. Efavirenz is known to be very good at controlling the virus and is one of the few that crosses the blood-brain barrier and can target potential reservoirs of virus in the brain. Doctors have long believed that it might be possible to alleviate cognitive impairment associated with HIV by getting more drugs into the brain, but researchers say more caution is needed because there may be long-term effects of these drugs on the brain.

TERRY MICHAEL INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT GALLO at the XIX International AIDS Society Conference

posted by Terry Michael:
I did with Dr. Robert Gallo at the XIX International AIDS Society Conference in Washington, DC, July 22, 2012. I had to transcribe it, because it's a poor quality audio, and Gallo is a hard interview. His syntax makes it difficult to follow him on the audio, but it should be easier with this transcript:

Here's the audio file you can download, as Windows Media Audio (.WMA):

And here it is (much larger file) as an .MP3:

I asked Gallo mostly about Luc Montagnier, and what he (Gallo) thought of his one-time colleague's views on "HIV co-factors" and Montagnier's assertion that we can rid ourselves of HIV "in just a few weeks if you have a good immune system," in the interview from the film "House of Numbers"

I also asked Gallo about his views on use of so-called "ARV's" for PrEP, or "pre-exposure prophylaxis," on which he equivocated, but said he was "not on that bandwagon."

At one point, Gallo tried to go "off-the-record"--even though his press aide early in the interview cautioned him that "you're on the record."  Gallo attempted to go off-the-record in what I regarded as an attempt to slander Montagnier by suggesting he (Montagnier) was trying to personally profit from his theories on nutrition and AIDS. As a journalist, I believe an interviewee has the right to ask if he can go off-the-record, during the course of an interview.  But, in this case, he did not ask to change the on-the-record condition; he just asserted he was doing it. In any case, I don't believe an interviewee should be able go off-the-record to engage in an ad hominem attack. That quote, in context, is copied below.

What will DC AIDS office be advising physicians on prescribing "anti-retrovirals" to "HIV negatives" for so-called pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)?

Challenging the District of Columbia AIDS bureaucrats on "pre-exposure prophylaxis", or "PrEP"--feeding toxic "anti-retroviral" chemicals to those who have not even tested "positive" on the so-called "HIV test."

On the opening day, Sunday, July 22, of the XIX International AIDS Conference, Terry Michaels questioned the director of the Washington, DC HIV-AIDS bureaucracy about what his agency will be advising physicians on use of ARV's as a prophylaxis against HIV "infection." It was at the end of a panel in which Dr. Robert Gallo participated.  It was the only venue at the 6-day conference to which Gallo was invited. The conference was funded and tightly controlled by NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci, with a $7 million U.S. NIH grant to the Swiss-based advocacy organization that produced the conference.  Millions more U.S. tax dollars were spent on conference registration fees, airfare, hotels and expenses for the mostly university contractors who benefit from Fauci's HIV research grants.

"If you have a good immune system, then your body can naturally get rid of HIV" asked of Francoise Barre-Sinoussi

Terry Michael asks Francoise Barre-Sinoussi what she thinks about Luc Montagnier's statement:

Dr. Luc Montagnier: “We can be exposed to HIV many times without being chronically infected. Our immune system will get rid of the virus within a few weeks, if you have a good immune system.”

Interviewer: If you have a good immune system, then your body can naturally get rid of HIV?

Dr. Luc Montagnier: Yes.

Interviewer: If you take a poor African, who’s been infected and you build up their immune system, is it possible for them to also naturally get rid of it?

Dr. Luc Montagnier: I would think so.

Interviewer: That’s an important…

Dr. Luc Montagnier: It’s important knowledge which is completely neglected. People always think of drugs and vaccine.

Interviewer: There is no money in nutrition, right?

Dr. Luc Montagnier: There is no profit, yes.

HIV Criminalization Compounded by Confusion Over Validity of HIV Test

By Karen Ocamb News Editor www.frontiersla.com
(Editor’s note: Sec. Hillary Clinton, who has personally known people who have died from AIDS—she spoke at her friend Bob Hattoy’s memorial, for instance—told the International AIDS Conference on Monday: “If we’re going to beat AIDS, we can’t afford to avoid sensitive conversations, and we can’t afford not to reach the people who are at the highest risk.” Getting tested to know one’s status to get help and not pass on the disease has been a health care mantra for years. But some HIV/AIDS activists are now prompting “sensitive conversations” about the quietly increasing criminalization of HIV. 

POZ founder Sean Strub (“Take the Test and Risk Arrest?”)  and longtime HIV/AIDS journalist Todd Heywood, in particular, have been sounding the alarm. But now freelance journalist Terry Michael—a self-described “independent Washington journalist, who directs the Washington Center for Politics & Journalism, and who has covered the HIV-AIDS story at his personal web site,where he raises questions about HIV-AIDS theory”—raises some even more troubling questions about how the validity of HIV tests themselves are being questioned in courtrooms. In early July, Michael emailed me that he had covered two cases of “HIV Panic” in military courts. Here is Michael’s report (as sent) that may raise even more questions for “sensitive conversations” no one’s having. – Karen Ocamb)

Army acquits heterosexual soldier, convicts gay officer in ‘HIV panic’ cases, increasingly questioned by HIV-positive advocates

by Terry Michael

Just six weeks after an Army judge at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, acquitted a heterosexual soldier in a so-called “HIV panic” case, another military judge at Ft. Belvoir in Virginia found a gay Army officer guilty on all counts for not revealing his HIV status and engaging in unprotected sex.

HIV Tests on Trial: Fort Bragg Acquittal

Tim Cavanaugh - reason.com/blog

Reason contributor Terry Michael investigates a military trial in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina that ended with the acquittal of an Army sergeant of charges that he didn't inform sexual partners of his positive HIV status. 

Expert witnesses raised doubts about the general validity of HIV tests during the May aggravated assault trial of the NCO referred to by supporters (Michael provides his full name) discreetly as "Sgt. TD." It also seems the prosecution either didn't mount or wasn't allowed to mount a strong attack: 

An 8-year Army veteran, Dixon spent 247 days in pre-trial custody after charges brought in 2011, when he was arrested after a former girlfriend accused him of assault and battery, for throwing a plastic bottle at her during an argument. Judge Batdorf found Dixon guilty of that physical assault charge, unrelated to HIV status disclosure, and sentenced him to 120 days (waived for time he had already served.). The arrest resulted in Dixon’s “status” later being revealed, to other women identified as former sexual partners. There was no testimony in the trial from any of the women disputing Dixon’s claim that he used condoms.

There also was no testimony from any of the women that they had contracted HIV from Sgt. Dixon. The defense introduced into evidence a1997 scientific paper by Dr. Nancy Padian from the Univ. of California-San Francisco, who studied the potential for transmission of HIV in 176 “sero-discordant” heterosexual couples, where one partner was HIV-positive and the other HIV-negative, and not one of the subjects ever contracted HIV through sex.

Colonialism in Africa helped launch the HIV epidemic a century ago

By Craig Timberg and Daniel Halperin www.washingtonpost.com

Quoting: Terry Michael from an interview on the Robert Scott Bell Show, journalist and teacher, joins the crew to discuss a ‘new’ (old) ‘theory’, now being pushed by the liberal ‘illiterati’ to blame ‘white colonialism’ for the spread of AIDS… in the 1800s! Yes, according to Craig Timberg, HIV true-believer, HIV (which cannot be tested for, and which does not cause immune deficiency), was in existence before the Spanish Flu of 1918! (I guess everyone was too busy to notice). He then goes back to the ‘back to Africa’ myth of “HIV,” while ignoring the complex and immune-damaging realities of those who got “GRID” (later renamed AIDS), in the early 1980s. Terry takes it apart, and on the way we’ll touch on the CDC’s new pet projects – Bird, Pig, Dog, Cat and Bat Flu, and Hepatitis C. Is Hepatitis C the new HIV?

We are unlikely to ever know all the details of the birth of the AIDS epidemic. But a series of recent genetic discoveries have shed new light on it, starting with the moment when a connection from chimp to human changed the course of history.

We now know where the epidemic began: a small patch of dense forest in southeastern Cameroon. We know when: within a couple of decades on either side of 1900. We have a good idea of how: A hunter caught an infected chimpanzee for food, allowing the virus to pass from the chimp’s blood into the hunter’s body, probably through a cut during butchering.

500% disparity between blacks and whites testing "positive" for HIV - Terry Michael

 June 14, 2011

500% Black-White HIV+ Disparity Belies "3% Epidemic" in Washington

Anomalies from 30-year-old AIDS theory

by Terry Michael

A recent report from an observational study of sexual behavior of 35 gay and bi-sexual African American males is the latest attempt to explain away the huge 500% disparity between blacks and whites testing "positive" for HIV, a difference so great it belies the oft-repeated claim of a "3% generalized and severe epidemic" of "HIV-AIDS" in the heavily black District of Columbia. That unexplainable disproportion raises serious questions, lingering for the past quarter century, about the single pathogen theory of the immune deficiency syndrome first observed by the CDC 30 years ago this month, when the Centers for Disease Control, in a June 5, 1981 surveillance report, noticed curious cases of pneumonia in five gay men in Los Angeles.

HIV Tests for Earthquake Survivors

HIV Tests for Earthquake Survivors 

“Christchurch gay and bisexual men have been offered free sexual health tests to prevent men having unsafe “post disaster sex” which could lead to a rise in HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.”

"Post Disaster Sex"? "Looks like somebody is fishing for a grant for "PDS" research?--to coin an acronym. Tony Fauci should be good for a couple of million, along with the Gates Foundation and our friends at Gilead Sciences--always looking to sign up new "positives" for their $10,000 or $15,000/year drugs-for-life.

All I can say is :)LOLOL:)LOLOL:) On the other hand, many of us have had disastrous sex, after which we wish we hadn't. Could that be what they mean?"

REPOSTED from TerryMichael.net

10% of Europeans immune to HIV

Comments on this from: Terry Michael:
This nonsense about "10% of Europeans immune to HIV" is just the latest attempt to explain away why there has never been a white western heterosexual "epidemc" of "HIV disease." The other way to explain it is that there never has been an "HIV disease." That is, there is nothing pathogenic about one of thousands of strings of retroviral code written in nucleic acid and covered with a little protein. It is the biggest fraud in medical histroy. Of course, there has always been immune suppression, from multi-factorial causation, relating to unhealthful behaviors, ingestion of toxins and the psychogenic effects of being hated and oppressed minorities, both gay and black and drug users.

MAY 24, 2011 by ■ Holly Goodwin (I'm a 23 year old student studying English in Louisiana. I spend most my time on the computer reading articles and learning new facts. I enjoy reading and creative writing.)

According to biologists at the University of Liverpool the plagues of the Middle Ages have made 10 percent of Europeans HIV resistant.

Scientists managed to back trace the mutation to 700 years ago, a time when plagues, including the bubonic plague, were sweeping across Europe. The places hardest hit by the plagues are the ones that now have the highest levels of resistance to HIV.

Professor Christopher Duncan and Dr Susan Scott from the University of Liverpool’s School of Biological Sciences used a computer model to show how selected diseases provided the evolutionary pressure necessary to force the frequency of the mutation up from 1in 20,000 to the values today of 1 in 10.

These resistant individuals carry a mutation known as CCR5-delta 32 that inhibits the CCR5 cellular receptor used to gain access to the immune system by HIV and other diseases. The mutation effectively presents immunity to HIV and other diseases that use the CCR5 cellular receptor as a gateway into the immune system.

David Crowe and Terry Michaels discuss groundbreaking HIV and AIDS news

In this episode, David and Terry discuss groundbreaking HIV/AIDS news, with a focus on how more and more people are rethinking AIDS – and are being recognized, worldwide, for doing so. For example, Dr. Nancy Turner Banks, a recent guest on Episode 26 of our show, received a gold medal on May 11, 2011 from the Independent Publisher Book Awards.

The award described her latest publication, “AIDS, Opium, Diamonds and Empire,” as “the most progressive health book.”
We also discuss several new “Rethinking AIDS” video documentaries released worldwide.
We finish the podcast by remembering Karri Stokely, a caring and compassionate woman, who had taken AIDS drugs for over 10 years before discovering our work.  We are saddened to lose Karri, yet we are equally empowered to continue our journey rethinking AIDS because of her.

Juan’s Journey to HIV and Back - "How Positive Are You?"

“Juan” (not his real name) was diagnosed “false-positive” in 2007 after a bout with fever, night sweats, and other severe flu-like symptoms. However, when doctors discovered he had been intimate with men, his diagnosis was changed to “true-positive”.
Standard Podcast [ 1 h 00 min 00 s | 27.42 MB ]
It turns out that his symptoms were actually caused by his appendix rupturing, which was treated immediately, and eventually fully resolved. Educated in science, it took Juan some time to overcome what he had been taught about HIV and AIDS; but his research skills eventually led him to stop AIDS drugs after a few months. Four years later Juan remains in robust health, and has tested negative for HIV ever since.
He discusses this incredible saga that demolishes the HIV=AIDS dogma with David Crowe and Terry Michael for an hour.
