Selenium Status Is Associated With Accelerated HIV / AIDS
CategoriesThanks for sending me this note Harry, then again ethics is not a strong factor amongst the medical Mafiosi - particularly when, egos, greed and wealth have superceded their consciousness. Concern for health, their supposedly original good intentions, have turned to pretense, and have simply become a tool to accomplish their goals incognito...
Even more abominable is the zeal with which toxic drugs and immunization are thrust on the sick and malnourished of the poor and 3rd world. One cannot expect to get away with this additional hit on these already immune compromised populations but that does not phase their mantra of lies and deception. Imagine WHO, turned - a rogue authority, whose 3rd world vaccine budgets are larger than procuring water for those countries. Surely you don't think that they are looking after our concerns do you???
It's truly, amazing that it has become as blatant as it is. Unfortunately, if history is any indicator it may become even worse before corrective action will occur. Sadly most will act only if they themselves are effected, if it is happening to others it's just business as usual for most.

Chris,
Have you seen the interesting new article by Kupka,R and colleagues in The Journal of Nutrition, 2004,134 (10):2556-60 on the relationship between death from AIDS and plasma selenium levels in pregnant women, in Tanzania? In summary, blood was collected from 949 pregnant women and saved for 5.7 years, by which time 306 of them had died. Statistical analyses showed that the lower the original plasma selenium levels,the more likely the woman was to have died of AIDS.The relationship was statistically significant. This relationship has been obvious for years and is the key to at least slowing the diffusion of HIV. It's a great shame that 306 women had to die to prove the obvious-HIV/AIDS patients need selenium.Regards,
Harry

Selenium deficiency has been implicated in accelerated disease progression and poorer survival among populations infected with HIV in developed countries, yet these associations remain unexamined in developing countries. Among 949 HIV-1-infected Tanzanian women who were pregnant, we prospectively examined the association between plasma selenium levels and survival and CD4 counts over time. Over the 5.7-y median follow-up time, 306 of 949 women died. In a Cox multivariate model, lower plasma selenium levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality (P-value, test for trend = 0.01). Each 0.1 micromol/L increase in plasma selenium levels was related to a 5% (95% CI = 0%-9%) decreased risk of mortality. Plasma selenium levels were not associated with time to progression to CD4 cell count < 200 cells/mm(3) but were weakly and positively related to CD4 cell count in the first years of follow up. Selenium status may be important for clinical outcomes related to HIV disease in sub-Saharan Africa.

Subject: When Will You Be Forced to Take the "AIDS Test"?
An interesting spin-off from this article would be that the WHO, and related commercial and political interests, have already been cited in the Sunday Times last week, by journalist Brian Deer, as being in support of the current AIDS-Vaccine trials taking place in Thailand. Basically he said that his investigation of the scientists and companies involved in that trial suggest that it is a means to an end, and not necessarily a 'scientific' one, to ensure that perhaps 600,000,000 worldwide will become 'targets' for the new vaccine.
He suggests that the scientists know their vaccine is of questionable value, that they are satisfied with a '30%' benefit to the trial recipients rather than the more usual 80 or 90% effectiveness required of other vaccines, and the research is designed more to achieve an 'early positive result' from which a 'political decision can be made to stop the trial in the interests of the worldwide spread of AIDS' and have 600,000,000 prospective AIDS victims rapidly vaccinated with this worse than useless vaccine with related profits.
One does get the feeling that tactically the WHO and supportive government and commercial interests are making ready for the vaccine by ensuring many potential recipients - those who show +ve test results - from pregnant mums to those who's non-AIDS illnesses show +ve for the faulty 'AIDS test'.
Regards
John
