AIDS, Chronic Fatigue: Modified African Swine Fever Virus Implicated?

Health

What do people suffering of AIDS and those suffering of CFIDS - chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome - have in common? Apparently more than immune trouble. There is a virus that seems to be present in both, but is almost never tested for. HHV-6A, thought to be a genetic cross between Cytomegalovirus and African Swine Fever Virus, is found in both AIDS and CFIDS patients.

HIV instead, a relatively harmless retrovirus that cannot cause the symptoms of Aids, has been given all the blame. The hypothesis that HIV = Aids has been scientifically and quite thoroughly discredited by Peter Duesberg in his book "Inventing the AIDS Virus", although officially it is thought to be rock solid and today, highly cytotoxic anti-retroviral treatment is almost universally recommended for AIDS sufferers by health authorities around the world, while those suffering of Chronic Fatigue and CFIDS are told that "it's all in your mind" and are given psychological treatment or prescribed psychiatric medication.

June 2004: Enter a new point of view...

In June last year, Jonathan Campbell introduced me to a new and - I must say - intriguing angle to the AIDS catastrophe, which we will explore further in this article.

In an email, responding to an article of mine on AIDS testing, Campbell said:

None of the testing they are doing is looking for the correct virus. Knox and Carrigan have found a near-100% correlation between AIDS and HHV-6A, an incredibly virulent virus that attacks lymph nodes and other tissue, creating huge amounts of necrotic tissue. It is present in both people with AIDS and also those who have CFIDS, the non-HIV AIDS.

Consider the following links:

HHV-6 in AIDS

Cause of Immune Suppression other than HIV

They are also overlooking an obvious cheap treatment for AIDS/CFIDS, suggested by the discoverer of protease inhibition, Matthias Rath. It is the same as his treatment for cancer: vitamin C and the amino acids lysine and proline, which inhibit viral replication, cell fusion, and destruction caused by viral oxidation products.

Another participant in the discussion came up with a further link. Doing a search on HHV-6A, he found ..HHV-6A... "This is the virus, formally identified by Dr. Robert Gallo, from the National Cancer Institute and discoverer of HIV, that his research team had identified in the Lake Tahoe outbreak of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome during the mid-1980's."

This prompted a reply by Jonathan on 11 July 2004:

The Lake Tahoe incident is what put the nail in the coffin of HIV-->AIDS, at least for me. These poor folks in Lake Tahoe were told that it was "all in their heads" by CDC, they brought the samples back, they discovered they were all infected with this "new" virus, Gallo calls it HHV-6A, and the folks at Tahoe are never told a word of it. They probably got it from infected pork from some fine restaurant in Tahoe. There is a movie (apparently very sad) called "I Remember Me" made by a film producer stricken by CFIDS at Tahoe.

Meanwhile there is an epidemic in the new factory pig farms called "Mystery Swine Disease" that destroys the pigs' immune system, and no one makes the connection to the ASFV brought in by Haitian immigrants. To this day they have given it a different name: Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome. Pig farmers are told to destroy entire "herds" - tens of thousands of pigs - and not to sell the meat. Yeah, sure. I'm sure some of it made its way to Tahoe.

ASFV was cultured in Haiti by the CDC-operated CIA station in Haiti for use against Cuba - biological warfare - in the 70s, and it spread to the Haitian native pigs, to the point where the National Guard was called in to "eradicate" the wild pig population in the '80s. This is where the AIDS epidemic came from as well, because Haitians used these pigs, infected with ASFV, for Santaria (voodoo) blood rituals, and Haiti was a favorite vacation spot for gays from San Francisco, who then spread the virus in the bathhouses when "cruising" (having dozens of sex partners) was popular in the gay community. (This transmission mechanism was actually identified by a couple of doctors at Mass General Hospital in the 70s as they tried to help some Haitian immigrants who had AIDS). The reason that HIV comes up as a marker virus in AIDS is that green monkey kidneys (containing SIV and a host of other intermingled viruses and retroviruses) were used as the culture medium for culturing ASFV at the CDC lab. But there is no particular reason why HIV would survive in every pig infected with ASFV. The same thing was going on in Africa: the CDC/CIA station in Zaire was culturing ASFV for use against Angola, and one AIDS researcher in Africa commented that ASFV had been found in pigs where the first AIDS clusters appeared.

Jane Teas and John Beldekas were the first to identify ASFV as a "cofactor" in AIDS, both in Florida (Belle Glade) where Haitian immigrants had settled and had an AIDS cluster, and also in AIDS patients in Europe, but Gallo shut them up - he got their institutions to shut down their research and in 1986 issued a statement at Cold Spring Harbor that no other agent other than HIV should be studied or supported by any organization worldwide studying AIDS. Gallo shut down this research because he knew what the consequences would be if ASFV aka HHV-6A was found to be the real causative factor in AIDS...

I was still reluctant to make this theory of AIDS transmission public until a couple of years ago when I stumbled into a virtually identical line of research published by Neenyah Ostrom in one of the gay newspapers in New York City in the '90s. The only thing missing from her analysis was how HIV got into the picture.

Peter Duesberg misses the boat entirely: since HIV can't be the cause of AIDS, he throws out any possibility that it is virally caused. He misses two important parts of the picture - that interspecies infections (in this case, a porcine infection to humans) are often the most virulent because there has been no chance for our immune systems to adapt, and that there are viruses that are exceedingly deadly (e.g., ebola) for which we have little or no defense.

This line of research is wide open, and could provide an accurate testing protocol for AIDS as well as the documentation to prove its real origins (as well as discrediting the folks who promoted the HIV-->AIDS mechanism for their own personal gain.)

This message, of course, was some serious food for thought and some months later, in February of this year, Jonathan once again commented on the CFIDS/AIDS viral trail of evidence that seems to escape the attention of just about every researcher:

Please see the website http://www.hhv-6foundation.org/. People with AIDS and CFIDS test positive for this immune-destructive virus. (And I don't mean "viral load" or fragments, but real viruses). CFIDS is AIDS, but all of these people are "HIV negative."

This information complicates matters considerably for those who reject viral causation of AIDS. There is a wall of silence dividing people with AIDS (who accept that they have a "death certificate" disease and accept toxic drugs that then proceed to kill them), and people with CFS and CFIDS (who just suffer in silence).

In reply to a comment of mine about the harmless nature of most virus particles in the face of strong immune defences, Jonathan added:

HHV-6A (which some researchers believe is a strain of African Swine Fever Virus - ASFV) causes profound and rapid necrosis of tissue, especially in lymph nodes. This is the first stage of CFIDS and AIDS progression.

In pigs, ASFV causes AIDS symptoms.

The two primary researchers in the possible connection between ASFV and AIDS were driven from the medical profession by Gallo. For the first time in the history of medicine, certain kinds of research were banned. 1986 Gallo declared (in the Cold Spring Harbor statement) that since there was no possible connection between AIDS and ASFV (even though these two researchers had found a link), nor were there any other co-factor causes for AIDS other than HIV, therefore that no research on these avenues of research should be pursued anywhere. Period.

Dr. John Beldekas never recovered. He died earlier this year, either suicide or drug overdose.
Dr. Jane Teas works in other research areas and refuses to discuss the issue in any depth.

The reason that ASFV is suspected is that the first AIDS victims in the western hemisphere came from Haiti, where ASFV had been cultured for use against Cuba (by the CDC testing station on behalf of the CIA) in biological warfare. It was a popular vacation spot for California gay men, who it is thought then transported it to the US west coast, where the US AIDS epidemic began.
