Understanding HIV From The Viewpoint Of A Long Time Survivor

I had a chance to read an article by Bradford McIntyre and found it very interesting. However, I've decided it is safer to trust God than this current capitalistic medical society. This is something I have been saying through my living since being diagnosed in 1986 and sadly watching my wife, Velda; succumb to the toxicity of the AZT and DDI. I have trusted God all my life and for over 24 years with my HIV infection. Because of this faith in God, my CD4 count has not dropped from the original count in 1986.

I believe this is the reason we do not hear more about people that do not develop AIDS despite not using medication. It is not fiduciary responsible to give the billions of the present and future consumers of their product hope that they do not need the toxic medications. If they had that hope, millions would not buy and consume. Therefore, the drug companies would lose revenue. If they had that hope, millions would stop depending on doctors and the multitude of other so called health care experts who, in reality, is just practicing or playing God. The evident problem is most doctors do not have the foggiest ideal what they are doing. That is why they call it a practice. They are just practicing and guessing. If you do not believe me, ask your doctor when he hands you your next prescription, if they know for sure it will work. Listen carefully because he will say we are pretty sure it will, or there is a good chance it will. That is just a politician's way of saying I do not know because, in reality, they do not know.

The example I like to use to refer to the common situation of the over-medicated HIV Positive America is the biblical illustration of the woman with the issue of blood. We know the story about how she spent all she had on the doctors of her day only to be left broke, diseased, crawling through the streets, and still searching for help. Today, many of us with issues of blood (HIV) are in the same predicament. We spent all that we had, only to be turned away and denied because we do not have anymore to offer to their coffers. We are left sick or often sicker than they originally found us because of the toxicity of the promise cure. We find ourselves literally and sometimes physically crawling through the streets of our medical community looking and hoping for someone to cure us. The only response we receive is a proclamation from the health care community saying our additional illness coming from the side effect of the medications was actually caused by the disease.

The sad truth is the drug companies are getting rich from the willingness of America to take these poison with blind faith. We know they are poisons because of the side effects listed. Reality and logic assumes the side effect of something good will be positive which agrees with the bible, that which you sow, you shall also reap, and nature, if you plant corn you get corn. The truth is when we sow the natural foods and remedies into our bodies that have been provided by our creator, the only thing that happens is good. We get energy, calories, strength, and other benefits. However, look at the results of the vast amount of medications that we sow into our bodies. For a list of the bad consequences, all we need to do is look at the long list of side effects shown after every commercial, some even listing death. On the other hand, we could just wait for a year or two for the bad drug lawsuit for our chosen medication to come on television. Still, we take these expensive poisons voluntarily into our bodies, hoping for the best to come from the worst.

I do not trust doctors, the medical profession, American politicians, or organized religion (the latter two is another sermon) because I realize that we live in a capitalist society. In our society, doctors and many others in our capitalistic health care communities have become like shade tree mechanics. Shade tree mechanics will get you in their shops and swear that they know how to fix your problem. They will replace the busted hose, but then when you are not looking, they will slightly nick the fan belt so you will have to return. Some in the medical community are the same. They maintain your illness in order to keep the patient returning. On the rare chance what they prescribes fixes the patient completely, the side effects purposely designed in the medications by the drug companies will make sure the patient will return to the doctor for the cure to the side effect the designed drug produced.

Look at it this way; imagine that after having problems with your car transmission, you took the car to a certified dealership to fix the problem. The mechanic did everything right to fix the problem by replacing the transmission. However, one of the helpers filled the transmission with the wrong fluid. Miles later, the car is towed back to the dealership. They have replaced the transmission again and refilled it with the correct transmission fluid. However, they did not charge you for a return visit because the additional problem with the car (the side effect of putting in the wrong transmission fluid) was caused by their solution, so it is their fault. Sadly, that is not how the capitalist medical profession works. The doctor will charge the patient again when and if the patient has to return because the pill given for a headache caused an ulcer or the HAART cocktail made the liver, and kidneys fail.

From the viewpoint of society, my assumption should be wrong, and I should be dead a long time ago. Nonetheless, my semiannual blood work proves the medical societies is mistaken and need to return to their research. However, they are not, cannot, and will not for fear of losing the large amount of fiduciary investments and income produced because of the poisons they pump into society every year.

Before I met my current wife online and moved, I lived in Miami, Florida. However, while living in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1992, I fell off a two-story roof and injured my back. Instead of going to the hospital, I prayed, laid hands on myself, and stayed confined to the couch for a day or two until the temporary paralysis left. While living in Miami in 2008, my back started hurting again so I went to the doctor to get some x-rays done and maybe a muscle relaxer. What the x-ray tech told me when he saw the picture of my back did not surprise me. He said it was evident that my back had been serious hurt, but whatever doctor worked on it fixed it because the only thing showing was where the bones had knitted themselves together.

However, without touching me, examining my previous medical history, or even looking at the x-ray, the doctor treating me tried to convince me that my problem resulted from my HIV, and the medications was causing my kidneys to fail. I looked at that guy and exclaimed, ‘what in the hell made you say that, doctor. I do not take HIV medications.' He replied, ‘Oh, I just assumed you did since you said you were HIV positive since 1986.' Without taking the time to rethink his confused and erroneous perception, he continued, ‘Still it is a common problem with HIV patients to have kidney problems from the toxicity of the medications or from the HIV infections. So we need to look at doing test on your kidneys.'

I do not need to tell you that I left that doctor's office very quickly never to return. Long story short, after getting home, praying and laying hands on myself, I expelled the huge amount of gastro pressure that had built up inside my intestines and was pressing against my spine. I felt a lot better. My kidney problems turned out to be just gas. However, imagine the medical predicament; I would have placed myself in if I had listened to that doctor. First, I would have poisoned or killed my immune system taking drugs that I did not need. Secondly, I would be taking dialysis for a problem that did not exist. Lastly, since I had no insurance, I would have been denied the treatment anyway because of an inability to pay.

Here is another personal incident that has made me firmly hold on to this thought process. I remember when I went to the doctor with my current wife to see why she was developing staph infections, yeast infections, and other infections. He questioned me and the discussion, as usual, was why you are not taking anything for your HIV. My response was I do not need anything for it. I got the blood of Jesus, and that is enough. Because of this, he assumed the cause of these additional infections were me. As he stated, his biggest fear was my HIV, since unmanaged, was infecting as well as affecting her.

Therefore, to quash his fears, I let him do another blood work up. Moreover, to prove my point by using their science, before the results came back, I had every clinic that has done my semi annual blood work, viral load counts, and CD4 counts transfer my medical information. Well, my CD4 count has not changed since I was diagnosed in 1986, my viral load is still undetectable like it was in 1986, and my renal enzymes are great. None of the listed symptoms and illness from this disease has appeared. Then after looking at the listed side effects of the antibiotics, I informed him that the antibiotics she was given for her kidney problem were causing these infections.

By the way, her kidney problem was caused because against the recommendations of the AMA, they decided put her on a HAART routine even though, she at the time had a very high CD4 count. I am glad she now has a doctor willing to listen to my strange advice and looked at her medical regiment from a different viewpoint. When he did, it was discovered that indeed the medications were the actual cause. If he had not, I would be burying another spouse because man's wisdom actually is foolishness unto God, and it has been tainted by the need of drug companies, hospitals, and doctors to be profitable in a capitalist society. Remember the love of money is the root of all-evil. Capitalism is an ideology that puts profits before people, humanity, and health care. The main premise of capitalism is to capitalize off something so one becomes richer. This is the love of money and the resulting medications, cures and falsified results are the evil side-effect of living in a capitalistic society.

To digress, Velda did not do well on treatment because as the resulting autopsy revealed, she died from the toxic effects of the AZT and DDI. Still, I know and understand that a large number of people do not agree with my assumption. However, my belief and dependence only in God, my assumptions and wariness about the current capitalist medical society in this country, and my willingness read the medical researches, clinical evidence, and every drug interaction memo given with the medication for my wife has kept me alive and safe for since 1985 without taking a single medication prescribed by any doctor. It has also drastically improved my current wife's health. Most importantly, my belief and continued good health has come from knowing that faith honors God and God honors faith because without faith it is impossible to please God.
