 "AIDS patients under strict double-blind conditions. All healing was to be done remotely so that nothing, such as the presence of a healer or healing touch, could confound the results. Targ created a strict double-blind format: each healer received sealed packets with information about the patients to be healed, including their names, photos, and T-cell counts. Every other week, the healers were assigned a new patient and asked to hold an intention for the health and well-being of the patient an hour a day for six days, with alternate weeks off for rest."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "Because the triple therapy appeared to be making a profound difference on mortality rates in aids patients, Elisabeth assumed that, this time, no one in either group would actually die. This meant she needed to change the result she was aiming for. In the new study, she was looking for whether distant healing could slow down the progression of AIDS. Could it result in fewer AIDS-defining illnesses, improved T-cell levels, less medical intervention, improved psychological well-being:1
Elisabeth's caution finally paid off."- Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "The patient population had to be homogeneous, so they selected advanced aids patients of Elisabeth's with the same degree of illness - the same T-cell counts, the same number of AIDS-defining illnesses. It was important to eliminate any element of the healing mechanism that might confound the results, such as meeting the healer or being touched. This meant, they decided, that all healing should be done remotely." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "One of her own early studies had shown that group therapy was as good as Prozac for treating depression in aids patients.1 She'd also read of the work of David Spiegel at Stanford Medical School, showing that group therapy dramatically increased life expectancy for women with breast cancer.2 In her sensible, pragmatic heart, Elisabeth suspected the effect was a combination of hope and wishful thinking, and perhaps a bit of confidence engendered by the support of the group. They may have been psychologically better, but their T-cell counts certainly weren't improving." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) |
 "A blunt, handsome woman with short-cropped white hair, Philipson pioneered the legal specialty of suing insurers for denying aids patients coverage for medical care in the 1980s. Back then, it was a branch of law that few lawyers had mastered, or indeed wanted any part of, because of a Supreme Court ruling that limited the amount the courts could award patients who sued their insurers for denial of coverage. "There was no pot of gold for the lawyer," says Philipson, "and most people don't have the money to pay you. You have to go to the courts to get paid."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "One early (1986) grassroots volume for and by aids patients, for example, had this to say:
We believe that the AIDS virus particularly strikes individuals and groups who have been isolated by the dominant culture. ... It is this isolation, often internalized as self-hatred or lack of self-acceptance, which allows the AIDS virus to begin to incubate once it has entered the system. ... It is no coincidence that the rise of AIDS has to a large extent coincided with the recent upsurge of right-wing political and religious repression of gays."- Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "Fear of AIDS diagnosis itself was a chronic stressor for aids patients. But so too, many felt, was what some researchers began to call "the stress of social homophobia," the enormous hostility toward gay lifestyles manifest in much of mainstream American culture. In his book And the Band Played On, AIDS activist Randy Shilts quoted American evangelist Jerry Falwell, saying of the thousands who were dying at the time of AIDS, "When you violate moral, health, and hygiene laws, you reap the whirlwind. You cannot shake your fist in God's face and get by with it." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "This possibility in turn suggested that stress might be a terrible risk for the highly vulnerable immune systems of HIV-positive or aids patients, and should be avoided at all costs. But how could stress be avoided? The fateful diagnosis itself imposed an immediate stress on patients. The anthropologist Emily Martin tells the story of how one of her subjects found out his lover had tested HIV positive and then faced the difficult task of getting himself tested." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
| "In one successful study of aids patients who improved through remote healing, the forty healers involved in the study sent the healing to patients in San Francisco from locations all across the United States.14 Like electrical fields, magnetic fields decrease with distance. The magnetic and electrical effects were likely to be some aspect of the process, but not its central one. It was likely to be closer to a quantum field, possibly more akin to light." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "Treating thousands with this cruel disease, he understands that long-term survival for aids patients in South Africa is currently unlikely. But for those who live longest and best, he says, "It's all how they place their illness. It must be a priority, but it mustn't be the only priority. My best patients aggressively manage their illness but also aggressively do the things they love to do. It's a balancing act, really."
The notion of balancing health management and personal passions is of great importance when working with serious illness. But, as it turns out, Dr."- Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
| "During the height of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, she devised an ingenious, highly controlled pair of studies, in which some 40 remote healers across America were shown to improve the health of terminal aids patients, even though the healers had never met or been in contact with their patients.19
Even some of the most rudimentary mind-over-matter experiments have had tantalizing results. One of the first such studies involved attempts to influence a throw of dice. To date, 73 studies have examined the efforts of 2,500 people to influence more than 2." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "He has witnessed fullblown aids patients go into 100% remission and remain so. "Observation of more than 15,000 individuals who have followed this natural diet over the past 25 years demonstrates that almost any immune disease follows a different course in people who exclusively eat foods that are natural and have not been denatured" (ibid., p. 101).
Healthful living habits, especially including the raw diet, do not bring about an instantaneous "miracle cure," but they certainly are the next best thing when the rare miraculous healing event is not forthcoming."- Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Chased out of Boston by persecution from the authorities, she set up a clinic in Puerto Rico, where she successfully treated aids patients prior to her untimely death in a house fire. She was 84 at the time of her death and in such great health that she needed only two hours of sleep a day and had no gray hair. Laboratory tests proved that her hair had not been dyed. Kulvinskas went on to author Survival into the 21st Century and Life in the 21s' Century, both raw food classics." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) |
| "In Targ's study, the healers were given the immune system T-cell counts of the aids patients and they sent healing specifically to improve the counts. The prayer groups should have been instructed to ask for a specific outcome in cardiac symptoms or fewer cardiac stents placed during the study time or any other highly specific request, rather than a nebulous, highly generalized statement about the patient improving." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "By becoming "insiders" within the medical establishment, gay activists could both prevent the medical neglect of gay aids patients and ensure that medical treatment did not result in overt civil rights violations. Epstein argues there was an "expertification" of leading gay activists who instructed themselves in scientific methods and language in order to relay the concerns of the gay community to medical authorities (1996: 32-33). Ultimately, AIDS activism created a more cooperative relationship between physicians and aids patients (p. 346)."- Peter Conrad, The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Get the book.) |
 "The role vitamin D plays in increasing a person's susceptibility to HIV infection is unclear, but the role that vitamin D plays in fighting tuberculosis (TB) and probably hepatitis C and other opportunistic viral and bacterial infections that aids patients suffer is indisputable.
Cranking Out Protection
Your immune system keeps churning away at its three big jobs throughout your life—functions that affect all the systems in your body. This amazing system protects you from infections, identifies and repairs damaged tissues, and forages for abnormal cells."- James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) |
 "Anju, at that time, was treating aids patients and drug addicts at Chicago's Cook County Hospital, and that work brought her an intense sense of satisfaction-but compared to Priya} There was no comparison. The idea of living without Priya suddenly seemed not just pointless to Anju, but practically impossible.
On the other hand, life with Priya was pretty impossible, too. Cook County Hospital was a medical combat zone."- Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) |
 "In a double-blind trial, massive amounts of glutamine (40 grams per day) in combination with several antioxidants (27,000 IU per day of beta-carotene; 800 mg per day of vitamin C; 280 meg per day of selenium; 500 IU per day of vitamin E) were given for 12 weeks to aids patients experiencing problems maintaining normal weight.56 Those who took the glutamine-antioxidant combination experienced significant gains in body weight compared with those taking placebo."- Alan R.

| "Novir was considered the better product for some aids patients. Because of the cost increase, these patients were forced to the cheaper, diluted Novir product called Kaletra. Abbott's price increase for Novir crippled competing pharmaceuticals who were using Novir as a part of their proprietary formulation. Would you call this restraint of trade? Or would you call it criminal malfeasance?5
This same kind of manipulation occurred for insulin users once rDNA genetically engineered human insulin received approval from the FDA." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.) |
 "Two careful studies of terminally ill aids patients by Elizabeth Targ, M.D., Ph.D., showed similar results. The patients in her experimental groups were offered remote healing by forty religious and spiritual healers. Some were evangelical Christians, some were traditional Catholics, some were Buddhists, some were independent faith healers; one was a Jewish kabbalist, another was a Lakota Sioux shaman, and another was a Chinese Qigong master."- Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.) |
| "Encouraged, he wanted to test it on aids patients, noted for their compromised immune system. Negligible killer cell activity in aids patients leads to steady deterioration of their condition.
Develops More Killer Cells
Dr. Abdullah placed seven aids patients with subnormal killer cell activity on 12 weeks of Kyolic aged garlic extract supplementation. Six weeks later, five of the seven showed a dramatic rise in killer cell activity to normal range. After the 12th week, every patient showed normal range killer cell activity and a significant improvement in total immune system function." - James F. Scheer, Lynn Allison and Charlie Fox, The Garlic Cure (Get the book.) |
 "He was a skinny guy in his 20s with a toothy smile and a face covered in the purple blotches characteristic of Kaposi's sarcoma, a skin cancer common in aids patients. He said from the outset he wasn't sure I was going to be able to convey what he wanted to say. I said I would do my best.
It wasn't until I visited him at the old Chelsea and Westminster Hospital a week or two later that I began to appreciate what he might be trying to express and what became the germ of an idea for this book."- Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) |
 "The traces of HIV virus found in some aids patients is inactive, which means, it is harmless, and therefore not responsible for the destruction of the body. If HIV were the cause of AIDS, it would have to do this during the two phases of HIV infection where blood levels of HIV are significant:
1. Soon after infection when the immune system produces antibodies.
2. At the very end stage of AIDS when the levels of all viral activity increase because the immune system has collapsed (due other reasons than HIV infection)."- Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "When blood from aids patients was injected into chimpanzees in 1983, all of them tested HIV positive but when tested 10 years later, none of them had developed any signs of sickness. In another experiment, over 150 chimpanzees received injections of purified (highly concentrated) HIV in 1984, but developed no symptoms of disease to this very day. However, what the experiments did show was that their immune systems had produced antibodies against the virus within a month, just as it happens in humans." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) |

| "The HIV retrovirus cannot be found in any of the diseased tissues of aids patients. This fact alone should make anyone suspicious about the claim that HIV leads to the destruction of organs and system.
If HIV were capable of infecting T-cells or other parts of the immune system, then, as is the case with every other type of viral infections, the cell-free virus particles or virions would easily be detected in the bloodstream." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) |
| "June 1981,3 most aids patients died quickly and horribly Today there are some half-million people alive in the U.S., many in excellent health, who have been diagnosed with AIDS at some point in the previous twenty years.4 And under the headline "First Case of HIV Cure Reported," in November of 2005, doctors at London's Victoria Clinic announced that conclusive tests had shown that Andrew Stimpson, who had twice been tested positive for HIV infection, was now virus-free. DNA tests were used to confirm that there had been no mix-up in the samples." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.) |
| "In a double-blind trial, aids patients who had lost 5% of their body weight in the previous three months received either placebo or a nutrient mixture containing 1.5 grams of HMB, 7 grams of L-glutamine, and 7 grams of L-arginine twice daily for eight weeks.16 Those supplemented with placebo gained an average of 0.37 pounds, mostly fat, but lost lean body mass. Those taking the nutrient mixture gained an average of 3 pounds, 85% of which was lean body weight." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D.

 "Beyond such open clinical trials, Professor Foster has also collected considerable anecdotal evidence from North America aids patients that confirm the therapeutic value of selenium supplements given with these amino acids. Patients taking antiretroviral drugs as well as the four key nutrients seem to progress very well, showing that there is no antagonism with the conventional treatment.
In addition, R. Kupk and colleagues have reported in The Journal of Nutrition on the relationship between death from AIDS and plasma selenium levels in pregnant women in Tanzania."- Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.) "It has also been shown that aids patients are selenium deficient and that the greater this deficiency, the more apt they are to die. As the disease progresses, the deficiency increases. It is not surprising that poor nutrition increases susceptibility to the virus. Selenium deficiency is a direct cause of the disease. HIV/AIDS produces a selenium deficiency in the body, and these patients die from this serious deficiency. The evidence is very powerful." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.) |
