We already have a cure. and a pretty damn good conspiracy to go along

Products Developed To Kill Viruses And
Antibiotic Resistant Strains of Bacteria

In 1993 DEDI developed a particular mineral product which inhibited or
killed every form of virus, bacteria and fungi it was tested against.
Also review AIDS/HIV - Is There A Cure?, and Cancer - Is There A Cure
at the top of this page.

This specifically engineered silver mineral encompassed by a specific
protein was fully perfected by 1995 and proved lethal against
antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria, and every virus it came in
contact with, without any adverse side effects at all.

Although, DEDI had developed a rough form of this product in 1993,
which revealed the potential effectiveness; without the help of Dr.
Willie Burgdorfer of the National Institute of Health (NIH), the
product would never have been developed to its highest effectiveness.

With the information gained from Dr. Burgdorfer; DEDI redesigned the
mineral product to Dr. Burgdorfer's specifications, which now brought
forth a product which, at varying strengths, was deadly against
bacteria, viral and fungal infections.

The laboratory test results, animal test results and human trial
results, revealed the following regarding infectious diseases:

  1. Very effective against AIDS/HIV
  2. Very effective against Lyme Disease
  3. Very effective against Hepatitis C
  4. Very effective against Shingles
  5. Very effective against Staphylococcus Aureus
  6. Very effective against sinus infections
  7. Very effective against ear infections
  8. Very effective against acne, boils, rashes, lupus and burns.
  9. Very effective against strep throat
 10. Very effective against food poisoning
 11. Very effective against fungal infections to include infections
under finger and toe nails
 12. Very effective in promotion of healingwithout excess scarring
tissue remaining.
 13. Possibly effective against leukemia, as tests were underway when
DEDI was forced out of business and the President imprisoned which were
revealing: That leukemia was not a cancer, but caused by some unknown
virus or bacteria. A doctor conducting trials upon 2 terminal leukemia
patients reported to DEDI that the white/red blood cells had normalized
in the two leukemia patients he was treating. After 3 months of
treatment they were off dialysis and were A-symptomatic.

You'd need the soldiers to guard the prisoners.  If any violent prisoners
tried to escape, the guards would use violence to prevent it and thus become
guilty of violence themselves, which would mean that they would then be sent
to the same prison and we'd need even more guards, who would then become the
newest prisoners.  The game would go on until everyone was imprisoned.  At
that point, there would be nobody left to guard them and nobody to keep them
from escaping.  Fortunately, there would be nobody left for them to
victimize except other violent convicts.

Isn't that exciting?

Tuberculosis is one of the most deadly and common major infectious
diseases today, infecting, as of 2004, 14.6 million people.[1] Nine
million new cases of the disease, resulting in two million deaths,
occur annually, mostly in developing countries. However, developed
countries are not spared the burden of tuberculosis. There is a rising
number of people in the developed world who contract tuberculosis
because they have compromised immune systems, typically as a result of
immunosupressive drugs or HIV/AIDS. These people are at particular risk
of tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis disease.

Tuberculosis has been present in humans since antiquity, as the origins
of the disease are in the first domestication of cattle (which also
gave humanity viral poxes). Skeletal remains show prehistoric humans
(4000 BCE) had TB and tubercular decay has been found in the spines of
Egyptian mummies from 3000-2400 BCE. There were references to TB in
India around 2000 BCE, and indications of lung scarring identical to
that of modern-day TB sufferers in preserved bodies (such as mummies)
suggests that TB was present in The Americas from about 2000 BCE.

Phthisis is a Greek term for consumption. Around 460 BCE, Hippocrates
identified phthisis as the most widespread disease of the times which
was almost always fatal.

During the Industrial Revolution, tuberculosis was more commonly
thought of as vampirism. When one member of a family died from it, the
other members that were infected would lose their health slowly. People
believed that the cause of this was the original victim draining the
life from the other family members. To cure this, people would dig up
the body of what they thought was the vampire, open the chest and burn
the heart, sometimes with the rest of the body. Furthermore, people who
had TB exhibited symptoms similar to what people considered to be
vampire traits. People with TB often had symptoms such as red, swollen
eyes (which also creates a sensitivity to bright light), pale skin and
coughing blood (which people often thought needed to be replenished, so
they figured the only way for the afflicted to get blood back was by
sucking blood). This may be how much of the common mythology of the
vampire originated.

Although it was established that the pulmonary form was associated with
'tubercles' by Dr Richard Morton in 1689,[7][8] due to the variety of
its symptoms, TB was not identified as a single disease until the 1820s
and was not named 'tuberculosis' until 1839 by J. L. Schnlein. During
the years 1838-1845, Dr. John Croghan, the owner of Mammoth Cave,
brought a number of tuberculosis sufferers into the cave in the hope of
curing the disease with the constant temperature and purity of the cave
air. The first TB sanatorium opened in 1859 in Poland, with another
opening in the United States in 1885.

The bacillus-causing tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, was
identified and described on March 24, 1882 by Robert Koch. He received
the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1905 for this discovery.
Koch did not believe that bovine (cattle) and human tuberculosis were
similar, which held back the recognition of infected milk as a source
of infection. Later, this source was eliminated by the pasteurization
process. Koch announced a glycerine extract of the tubercle bacilli as
a "remedy" for tuberculosis in 1890, calling it 'tuberculin'. It was
not effective, but was later adapted by von Pirquet in a test for
pre-symptomatic tuberculosis.

The first genuine success in immunizing against tuberculosis developed
from attenuated bovine-strain tuberculosis by Albert Calmette and
Camille Guerin in 1906. It was called 'BCG' (Bacillus of Calmette and
Guerin). The BGG vaccine was first used on humans on July 18, 1921 in
France, although national arrogance prevented its widespread use in
either the USA, Great Britain, or Germany until after World War II.

Tuberculosis caused the most widespread public concern in the 19th and
early 20th centuries as the endemic disease of the urban poor. In 1815,
one in four deaths in England was of consumption; by 1918 one in six
deaths in France were still caused by TB. After the establishment in
the 1880s that the disease was contagious, TB was made a notifiable
disease in Britain; there were campaigns to stop spitting in public
places, and the infected poor were "encouraged" to enter sanatoria that
rather resembled prisons. Whatever the purported benefits of the fresh
air and labor in the sanatoria, 75% of those who entered were dead
within five years (1908).

The promotion of Christmas Seals was started in 1904 in Denmark as a
way to raise money for tuberculosis programs. It expanded to the United
States and Canada in 1907-08 to help the National Tuberculosis
Association (later called the American Lung Association).

In the United States, concern about the spread of tuberculosis played a
role in the movement to prohibit public spitting except into spittoons.

In Europe, deaths from TB fell from 500 out of 100,000 in 1850 to 50
out of 100,000 by 1950. Improvements in public health were reducing
tuberculosis even before the arrival of antibiotics, although the
disease's significance was still such that when the Medical Research
Council was formed in Britain in 1913 its first project was
tuberculosis.

It was not until 1946 with the development of the antibiotic
streptomycin that treatment rather than prevention became a
possibility. Prior to then only surgical intervention was possible as
supposed treatment (other than sanatoria), including the pneumothorax
technique: collapsing an infected lung to "rest" it and allow lesions
to heal, which was an accomplished technique but was of little benefit
and was discontinued after 1946.

Hopes that the disease could be completely eliminated have been dashed
since the rise of drug-resistant strains in the 1980s. For example,
Tuberculosis cases in Britain, numbering around 50,000 in 1955, had
fallen to around 5,500 in 1987, but in 2000 there were over 7,000
confirmed cases. Due to the elimination of public health facilities in
New York in the 1970s, there was a resurgence in the 1980s. The number
of those failing to complete their course of drugs was very high. NY
had to cope with more than 20,000 "unnecessary" TB-patients with many
multi-drug resistant strains (i.e., resistant to, at least, both
Rifampin and Isoniazid). The resurgence of tuberculosis resulted in the
declaration of a global health emergency by the World Health
Organization in 1993.

If we opened sanitoriums for people with TB today we could fight
antibiotic resistent strains and likely eliminate the disease, along
with HIV/Aids.

(From wikipedia)

The press has reported cases where medical quarantine
worked in the last century.  Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa
Fever outbreaks come to mind.  All these cases started
with a small localized population, however.  The AIDS
pandemic is way beyond that point now.

                                AMEN!

VERY well said Tom!  Bravo!

Sure, that's right. Tell that to David Pasquarelli. He'll have a good
belly laugh.

Oh. Wait. He doesn't have a belly. Or lungs to laugh with.

Because he, like so many millions of others, died of AIDS. Caused by
an imaginary virus that, directly and indirectly, caused his imaginary
T cells to plummet and imaginary opportunistic infections to kill him.

But then, I guess, all is maya.....

Riiiiight.  Cause nobody who commits to monogamy ever cheats on their
spouse.

Another great idea.  How would you enforce it?

Well that's a very fine idea. Let me know when that idealized world
comes about.

Corey, do you know what the term "voluntary" means?  I don't think you do.
Or perhaps you simply weren't paying attention to that part.

If they chose to.  Most won't.  The thing about people who engage in
high-risk behavior is that they don't always act in a safe and responsible
manner.  If they did, they wouldn't engage in high-risk behavior.  Get it?

Corey -
Rent the film "And the band played On" and watch it, Please!  You are
talking about REAL PEOPLE here, Not numbers or statistics.  How many of
YOUR loved ones have either died or are living with HIV?  AIDS is a
monster that has taken away many of my loved ones and it isn't a cake
walk.  We need more research and loving, caring individuals to ever
find a cure to be free of it's terror and you are not speaking with any
compassion that I can detect.  Unfortunately, It is still one hell of a
fight since greedy beings PROFIT from such terrible things as AIDS -
But I still do what I can and am grateful there are those like
Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John (among others!) out there doing all
they can.  First and formost, we need to get over the stigma or
prejudice this dis-ease carries.  If you simply hate homosexuals and
assume this a "Gay Disease" (Which it is NOT) - then go to any Hospital
ward and volunteer, Hold a small Aids Baby in your arms and then tell
me what you feel.  There is already too much hatred in this world
today, If you desire a Solution, You must BE the Solution, not
pontificate.  Take someone's hand and be a good listener, Not a
preacher.  Be a shoulder if one desires to weep - Offer YOUR
handkerchief, You can't catch AIDS from tears.  Be a part of the
Solution, and it all begins with Love, Compassion, Respect and not
having to blow someone else's light out to make yours shine brighter.
There is room for us ALL in this world, And our time goes by fast
enough, Don't let Fear seduce you, Try a little Love, It helps!  I'll
say a potent Prayer for You.  Be Blessed!
 May Love & Light be with You & Yours,
                                             Jimmy

What saves more lives in the long run?  Difficult decisions are
sometimes needed for special circumstances.  We need people with vision
to see what will benefit the nation.

If the goal was to eliminate these diseases, it was a complete flop.

The we won't be eliminating the disease.

Ethics?  We don' need no stinkin' ethics.

Yeah right. More stuff for "us".

As poor as Cuba is, it has better healthcare than the United States.

I never claimed to have trouble deciphering the post. I claimed that
you did. There are many ways to interpret a post.

Let us not dawdle over trivial matters, since you seem to be someone
who gets directly to the point. You are quick to point others towards
their flaws, so I presume you value the same. I am a little nervous,
contradicting someone possessing your wit, but a throaty gulp shall see
me through. If I have erred, please enlighten me.

I shall base my reasoning on two points:
1) You advertise the "Unskilled and Unaware" text, which states that
people grossly overestimate their abilities compared to their
performance. This suggests you believe this hypothesis.
2) You appear to believe you are more intelligent than the creator of
this thread.

Using these two points I shall engage my reason: Perhaps the intent of
the post you criticized is to make people criticize it, and therefore
you misinterpreted the post.

This may seem like a niggling trifle to you. Whether you misinterpreted
the post isn't the real question, however. The point is that there is
the possibility that you could have. There is the possibility that you
overestimate your own intelligence. There is the possibility that you
are a victim of exactly what you speak against.

How do you know that you aren't overestimating your own intelligence?
