I hope so and think the web might be very helpful. It is a new aera of
information exchange. In this regard YouTube and Google Video might
be our friends :)

Yes, I know this below 200 category. In Germany you also would be
HIV+ 'only'.
This is the last redefinition I know of which took place in 1993 in US.
I wanted to exclude, that a redefinition effect caused an artifact in the
figures. I see a very bad development for of the mortality between
1995 and 1998, the time HAART was introduced. I see this as hint
that HAART may have caused this development and thus still is dangerous.
Well, who wonders. Here in Germany first therapy suggestions still
recommend the use of AZT!?

The german dissident physician Dr. Juliane Sacher said, she has patients
with CD4 of zero living healthy since years.

P.S. I'd have some little private questions. Are you concerned by your low
CD4 count? Do you consider alternative therapies? Are there dissident
physicians in UK?

Yes, the figures do suggest that what we call HIV/AIDS was in decline
before AZT was resurrected from the poisons cabinet of the 1960s.
Presumably you know AZT was developed to treat cancer in the 1960s,
but was shelved because it was toxic and dangerous.
AZT killed a lot of people, and dramatically inflated AIDS death
figures.
HIV-2 was invented to explain why people in rich countries who took
AZT were dying faster than their counterparts in Africa who didn't
have access to it.
And, of course more and more people were being encouraged to go for
"the HIV test," and this lead to more diagnosed cases. A theory I
share with others is that what triggers the so-called HIV antibody
response (HIV+ test) is something that's naturally found in all of us.
Some people just have higher quantities of it. This is proved by the
fact that EVERYONE tests HIV+. It's just that those with a result
above a certain threshold are labeled HIV+ and those below it are
HIV-.

And who's to say a CD4 count of zero isn't perfectly normal? The
discovery of CD4 came after HIV and AIDS. And CD4's history only goes
back as far as the late 1970s - we've discussed that here before. CD4,
HIV and AIDS have been bonded together in history. Virtually all
studies involving CD4 also focuses on HIV and AIDS.
As far as I'm aware there isn't any research that tell us what an
average CD4 count should be. And I argue that a low CD4 count is a
sign of someone who's immune system is in good health.

No, I'm not concerned about my CD4 count at all.
Some people who read my messages here probably picture me as being
very thin and weak, and constantly sat on the toilet dealing with a
stream of diarrhea. The reality is completely different to that.
I don't use any alternative therapies. The only medication I take is
Prozac for depression and Zopiclone to ease my problem sleeping.
Millions of people in the UK take Prozac, and it wouldn't surprise me
if Zopiclone was prescribed to several hundred thousand people at a
time here.
I've been away from the 'dissident' mailing lists for a while, so I'm
not totally up to speed concerning dissident physicians here, but I
believe there are some.
