I dont really want to click on that link for GBTW reasons, but I'd love it if someone can fill me in on how HIV doesnt exist.

I'd tell you, but its a very poorly laid out website and all the text is scrolling. No really, its like reading over a dozen video marquees all at the same time. All links on the page just link to itself. It doesn't really explain anything.

But as far as I can tell, its a conspiracy website and from initial perusal...well...actually, I can't what they're against. I think they might be anti-Catholic, in that the Vatican is responsible for all the lies (bird flu apparently doesn't exist either) but I'm not sure.

If you scroll past all the video marquees you'll find a forum topic board where they discuss all the many conspiracies out there.

here's one that I clicked on that explains "what really causes aids" (you'll still have to scroll past the annoying banner links at the top)

The good "Doctor" says that AIDs in Africa is really caused by malnutrition and when people are given a proper diet the AIDS "goes away"

nice...
All we need to cure AIDs is a sandwich.

Bleh....

Your tags were my EXACT reaction: "Aids.. conspiracy and lies... WHAT?!"

This is along the same lines as some of the New Agey healer types I've talked to - they just didn't "envision health" like they should've.

I recommend badscience.net for some lovely (scathing) discussions of herbal medicine practitioners who are 'treating' HIV/AIDS and malaria or tuberculosis patients by taking them off all conventional meds and giving them herbs instead.

Oh man, sometimes I miss all that conspiracy shit just for the lulz it brought me. I used to date a guy who'd been involved with Larouche's organization. W. T. F.

[benchilada]

Oh, now you has GOTS to tell me some stories about THAT!

[buboniclou]

Uhm. Some day I'll write it all up in a memoir, and you'll be the first to know. But for now it's a little rambling...suffice it to say he believed the British royal family deals in drugs and that, as this reminded me, the reason HIV was so prevalent in Africa was because it was mosquito-transmitted.

I applaud your knowledgeable and no bullshit demeanor on benchilada/livejournal. Nothing you've written too date do I consider a waste of the time I took to read it.

[benchilada]

Yeah, his LJ is worth your time.
