    Episode 103: How Infected Are You? – Electron Microscopy Could Find You Are ‘HIV Negative’ After All, Says Dr. David Rasnick Oct 14, 2015
    Show notes

    A positive “HIV test” is a life-shattering event. Therefore, test accuracy matters – and Dr. David Rasnick is doing something about it. His biotech startup, Viral Forensics, will soon offer “HIV positives” with recent “viral load” results a glimpse of their blood under an electron microscope. Does it contain “particles resembling HIV”?

    Consider a viral load result that comes up in the millions. With this many particles in your blood, “we should be able to see it,” says Dr. David Rasnick. If they don’t . . . are you ready for this? . . . you may not be infected at all.

    This historic effort will similarly verify the accuracy of other PCR-based diagnostic tests, such as those for hepatitis C and the human papilloma virus (HPV), widely advertised to cause cervical cancer.

    Says Dr. Rasnick: “In every case of a pathological organism — that I know of anyway — you can find that organism directly in the person” – except for HIV and HCV. The tests for these infections are indirect, finding non-specific antibodies or bits of genetic material but not actual virus. “The tests really ought to be taken off the shelf, they ought to be banned; they do more harm than good.”

    “There’s only a tiny subset of people that are going to have the courage to go after this,” facing down skeptical doctors, hospitals and legal systems, he says. In a break from the usual, easy-sleazy, quick HIV testing the mainstream offers, customers will have to “do their homework,” and Dr. Rasnick is busy creating the Web site to educate them. Viral Forensics will even offer a blog where people can share their stories and questions. We’ll link to the site as soon as it’s up.

    Electron microscopy blood analysis is partially covered under many U.S. insurance plans, under CPT code 88348.

    REFERRALS: “How Positive Are You” can direct you to on an advance waiting list for this service. We expect to collect a commission on our referrals, which you can waive without getting a discount. We’d appreciate your support of our vital work informing you of potentially lifesaving services. Write to Viral Forensics at howpositiveareyou@viralforensics.com [e-mail address updated December 4, 2015].

    David and Beth also discuss a recent article on mainstream AIDS site “The Body” presenting several surprisingly “dissident” arguments, including a proposal to “retire the medical category of AIDS.” As David comments, the author, Todd Heywood, was “forced to confront the inconsistencies in the whole HIV/AIDS paradigm,” when he became seriously ill even while taking the medications and showing a low viral load. Alas, he recommends renaming whatever-it-is “HIV disease.” Is there any way out of this circular reasoning?

    Episode 102: Freedom to Practice Medicine – Drs. Jane Orient and Donald Miller Defend the Hippocratic Oath to ‘Do No Harm’ May 18, 2015
    Show notes

    Whether you’re “HIV positive” or “HIV negative,” the day will likely come when you seek a medical doctor’s opinion on a health condition. Just how independent from flawed official standards of care will that doctor’s judgment be? Are doctors allowed to think independently at all? Will they “first, do no harm,” as the Hippocratic Oath pledges? “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely asks Drs. Jane Orient and Donald Miller these vital questions and more. You’ll learn about the dire, Kafka-esque situation in American medicine that the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) and Doctors for Disaster Preparedness (DDP) would like to improve.

    Dr. Jane Orient is Executive Director of the AAPS, a post she has held since 1989, and the current president of DDP. Her 1974 medical degree is from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Orient has been an Instructor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and a staff physician at the Tucson Veterans Administration Hospital. Since 1981, she has been in private solo practice in internal medicine and remains a clinical lecturer in medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. See her book Your Doctor Is Not In: Healthy Skepticism About National Healthcare, for the full rundown on mandated health insurance and its effect on the practice of medicine; the short version of it is in this article. Her novel Sutton’s Law examines how and where medicine makes its money. She has published more than 100 papers on subjects including risk assessment, natural and technological hazards and nonhazards, and medical economics and ethics. She is the editor or managing editor of several journals and newsletters, including the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (JPandS).

    Dr. Donald W. Miller, Jr. retired from teaching and practicing heart surgery after a career spanning more than 40 years. He has had a distinguished career as chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, medical director of the Swedish Heart Institute, and director of the cardiothoracic surgery program at the Seattle VA Medical Center. He was educated at Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Medical School and Harvard Medical School and served on active duty as a surgeon in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War.

    In addition to authoring two textbooks on heart surgery, Dr. Miller wrote Heart in Hand, a book considering music, religion, the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, the films of Woody Allen and his own life as a heart surgeon. Dr. Miller continues to write articles on a variety of medical and non-medical subjects for the Libertarian Web site LewRockwell.com. His own website, donaldmiller.com, offers a stimulating reading list on topics as far-ranging as contrarian nutritional advice, the U.S. economy and the beat generation.

    Dr. Miller’s recent article on the current state of AIDS dissidence, “Fallacies in Modern Medicine: The HIV/AIDS Hypothesis,” appears in the Spring 2015 issue of the JPandS. His other articles raising inconvenient questions on a variety of topics, including HIV and AIDS, are available here.

    Membership in the AAPS and DDP is open to doctors, of course, but not just in the U.S. and not just for doctors. They offer several membership levels including “associate memberships” for related and alternative-health professions. Recently it came to light that Drs. Ron and Rand Paul have been members of the AAPS.

    Those 70 or so different conditions that can cause a false-positive “HIV test,” cited often here, are listed in Christine Johnson’s classic survey of mainstream scientific literature.

    Correction: Beth gives the Episode number in error on this Podcast. This is Episode 102.


    Episode 101: Former AIDS Healthcare Foundation Employee Jack Carrel Says It Awarded ‘Kickbacks’ to Keep Patients In-House for Testing, Treatment and Drugs Apr 24, 2015
    Show notes

    Even the mainstream AIDS media are abuzz over this one. Three former employees of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) are acting under the federal Whistleblower Act to sue this largest U.S. AIDS medical services provider. At issue is an alleged kickback scheme for patient referrals estimated at $20 million per year.

    AHF president Michael Weinstein has answered with the everybody-does-it defense. The rest of the AIDS industry is calling for his head, as it has for the past half-year over his criticism of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). Weinsten has further self-nominated himself as “czar” to police safe sex in the porn industry.

    “It’s like everybody’s singing ‘AIDS Has a Whorehouse in It,’” says How Positive Are You co-host Elizabeth Ely, “to cover up that the whole thing is a whorehouse.”

    The kickbacks turn out to be referral bonuses to employees and patients. These are gifts of $50, $100 or a fast-food meal for referring Medicare-, Medicaid- and ADAP-qualifying patients testing positive in the back of AHF’s “Out of the Closet” thrift stores to its own treatment centers and in-house pharmacies.

    The government may have encouraged creative incentives through its mandate to identify all the estimated unknown “HIV positives” out there and “link” them to treatment. An organization’s funding might even depend on meeting certain “objectives.” However, federal anti-kickback statutes expressly forbid referring patients in-house, says plaintiffs’/relators’ attorney James P. Gitkin. (Beth asks: Might it encourage unsavory cooperation on outside referrals as well?)

    We’re wondering how many people might have been labeled positive because AHF employees wanted those prizes. Who trusts their doctor, only to find out they made extra money for encouraging early treatment with drugs? If truly everybody does this, is the damage so widespread that the lawsuits and mistrust could end the AIDS nonprofit sector?

    Listen as Beth interviews plaintiff/relator Jack Carrel and attorney Gitkin. Tell us how much you still trust the nice folks at your local AIDS nonprofit. How badly do you need those cute used designer shoes from an AIDS organization’s thrift shop if the money goes toward such practices?

    In memory of Christine Maggiore.


    Episode 99: Down the Rabbit Hole with J. Todd DeShong of ‘HIV Innocence Group Truth,’ Supporting Bobby Russell’s Lawsuit but ‘Deconstructing’ his Investigator Mar 26, 2015
    Show notes

    Curiouser and curiouser . . . “HIV Innocence Group Truth” blogger J. Todd DeShong says he supports Bobby Russell’s lawsuit against his University of Kentucky doctors for the careless practices that led to his false-positive “HIV” diagnosis, but he is not so sure about Clark Baker and the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ), the investigative agency that made that lawsuit possible. It’s not an attack; it’s a “deconstruction.” And we’re not talking about those tests and how misleading they are, even though DeShong is a lab professional who runs diagnostic tests for hospitals and says he is working toward a master’s degree in molecular diagnostics. The tests are “off topic,” he says.

    Listen as the distinctions here get finer and finer, more than “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely can comprehend. Isn’t this how sociopaths work?

    Outside this rabbit-hole Wonderland of DeShong’s own mind, the facts don’t bend. And they’re not so subtle.

    DeShong has been running a straight-ahead attack on Baker, OMSJ and the work of its HIV Innocence Group (see Episode 62 for one grateful criminal defendant), and Baker has alleged in court filings that DeShong is not acting alone. Not just a lone blogger, but the whole AIDS-industrial complex, is seriously threatened by OMSJ’s habit of entering the validity of the “HIV tests” themselves into the evidence in criminal and civil proceedings. “Yes, I’ve been on an e-mail chain with a bunch of those people,” DeShong says of the highly placed government- and pharmaceutically-employed critics of OMSJ. What of it?

    Here’s what: If someone isn’t talking directly about the issues, they’re hiding their real agenda. It’s OMSJ they’re attacking, and OMSJ they want to stop, because OMSJ is challenging the shaky “HIV testing” on which the whole well-funded edifice stands. The organization is suing DeShong, and yes, the case was still alive as of this taping in February 2015. (UPDATE: OMSJ has, by this posting in March 2015, lost that lawsuit.)

    “I don’t want to talk about Clark Baker without him [here] to defend himself,” says this guy who has dedicated an entire Web site to, no kidding, “deconstructing” Baker and the work of OMSJ.

    Baker did defend himself, writing to Beth: “His website is a rat’s nest of propaganda – a shell game of junk science that supports itself.” Isn’t that what the AIDS paradigm itself is? It’s a house of mirrors all reflecting “truth” back to one another while ignoring the basic fact that

    there

    is

    no

    reliable

    test

    for

    “HIV.”

    Baker’s own legal declaration states, bluntly and without nuance, that he is suing DeShong over:

    “. . . the continuous, unrelenting, uninterrupted, and ongoing campaign by DeShong and his accomplices since 2008 to interfere with my business and my ability to attract clients, financial donors, and the media, which dissuades, inhibits, and interferes with my ability to locate clients and conduct investigations.”

    One of these cases is Gutierrez. Baker alleges that, because of DeShong’s defamatory blog postings, the defendant’s lawyers refused to respond to OMSJ’s offer of assistance and he was convicted of charges related to having sex while “HIV positive.” As of the taping of this interview, David Gutierrez was awaiting an appeal in the nation’s highest military court. (See our Episode 97 on the defendant’s appellate victory.) DeShong admits that discrediting OMSJ and deterring prospective clients is his goal but claims his activities are protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment right to “free speech.” Tragically, his disinformation sent the military veteran to Fort Leavenworth prison for four years.

    Before granting DeShong this interview, Beth asked what useful information it could offer her listeners, besides barely-entertaining theater. She’s guessing it’s the lengths to which the AIDS “establishment” will go to avoid the essential issues of life and death. Notice how carelessly such people dismiss the need to question the medical tests we all depend on. Listen to their strange idea of what love is, as demonstrated in sociopathic attempts like this to find “common ground” with people they attack elsewhere.

    Baker responds to allegations of “death threats”:

    “I left my name and phone number after contacting DeShong to interview him as part of my investigation. DeShong called me back and I never called him back – although DeShong called me numerous times over the years. DeShong and his mother never notified law enforcement, nor did anyone at my licensing agency ever convey a complaint.”

    DeShong’s open letter to Beth requesting an interview is here. The conversation leading to this request is on our Episode 71 and Episode 92 pages. DeShong linked from his Episode 71 comment to this article asserting that “there is not a case here” and characterized later as no “attack” on OMSJ at all. (In keeping with his high ideals, he makes no remarks about Baker without his being present to defend himself. . . .)


    Episode 98: Patricia Goodson Says ‘AIDS’ Debate Exists; Attempt to Squash ‘Thirty Years of Dissent’ Ensues Mar 11, 2015
    Show notes

    “. . . Patricia Goodson has actually performed a public service. It is important for people to know that AIDS denialists do indeed still exist.” — so wrote University of Connecticut Prof. Seth Kalichman, who seems to wish they did not. Although some dispute the label “denialist,” Prof. Patricia Goodson of the Department of Health & Kinesiology at Texas A&M University has documented that we who question the science of “HIV” and “AIDS” do indeed still exist. “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely would even welcome a debate on the substantive points, especially whether there is an accurate test for “HIV.”

    The very day in September 2014 that the open access journal Frontiers published “Questioning the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis: 30 Years of Dissent,” alarm bells began to ring. The journal responded to complaints by issuing a Statement of Concern and launching an investigation into the ethics of Prof. Goodson’s article. In the end, it only downgraded it to “Opinion” and published Dr. Kalichman’s February 2015 response.

    Prompted by “serious effects” from HAART drug therapies as reported in the popular media (some these concerns are documented here) and by a couple of people close to her, Prof. Goodson had “decided to go back and check and see if some of the scientists who were questioning in the beginning, such as Dr. [Peter] Duesberg for instance, were still questioning.” They are, but this is “not very well known,” she says, especially in her mainstream-oriented field of public health education/social science research. Since her review of the unresolved questions appeared, she has received messages from grateful colleagues and students, even ones who held firmly mainstream views on AIDS. They didn’t know the history, and they didn’t know that these questions were still out there.

    “I envisioned that there would be a lot of debate,” she says, and open access journals aim to stir up spirited post-publication buzz. A “review” does not present any original data. This one concluded that the issues were still alive and further research was needed to help resolve them.

    “There had been numerous complaints from ‘prominent people in public health’ saying that my article stood to ‘cause an issue in public health,'” says Prof. Goodson. “If something like this stands to ‘cause an issue in public health,’ I think that we need to revisit public health. To me that is a telltale sign that something’s not well here, the patient’s not doing too well.”

    Says HPAY co-host David Crowe: “In the end, it was, I think, a major victory for the right to have open discussions about public health.”

    Interested listeners can learn more about questions raised by mainstream researchers conspicuously not mentioned in the response article. Neither Dr. James Chin nor Dr. Luc Montagnier assert that HIV does not cause AIDS. Rather, Dr. Chin has questioned the quality of epidemiological data supporting global AIDS statistics. Dr. Montagnier has stressed the importance of co-factors and has stated, “our immune system will get rid of the virus in a few weeks, if you have a good immune system.”

    Virginia Tech Professor Emeritus Dr. Henry Bauer posted on his blog a discussion of the possibility, which we mention, that UCONN psychology professor Dr. Kalichman conducted undercover research under the persona “Joseph Newton” for his book Denying AIDS. A photo of Newton posing with Dr. Duesberg appears in the comments section of the blog and can also be viewed here. For comparison, a photo of Dr. Kalichman appears on this page, which also confirms him to be the editor of the journal AIDS and Behavior. This is the Henry Bauer who published a review of the state of Loch Ness Monster research. You got a problem with that?

    Regarding the treatment-as-prevention strategy known as PrEP, see our Episode 87.

    This is a joint Podcast with David’s own show, “The Infectious Myth” on the Progressive Radio Network. His version, published March 3, 2015, is here.

    NEWS UPDATE, November 2, 2015: Was it the business model or Goodson’s article? Frontiers gets “blacklisted” as possibly “predatory” open access journal. You decide. Our news article.


    Episode 97: The ‘Gutierrez’ Decision Ends the ‘HIV Criminalization’ Era, Says Attorney Kevin McDermott Mar 04, 2015
    Show notes

    Just like that, about 25 years of risking an “aggravated assault” or similar charge for not informing a sexual partner that you’re “HIV positive” are effectively over. On February 23, 2015, the highest U.S. military court judged the risk of contracting “HIV” from sex as so low that it is no longer a serious crime not to tell sexual partners. Attorney and ex-Marine reservist Kevin McDermott talks to “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely about the decision in United States v. Gutierrez and how it might affect civilian as well as military cases.

    The U.S. armed forces mandate “HIV testing” of all active-duty personnel every six months. Testimony in similar court cases has revealed low standards for this testing — and on more health conditions than “HIV.” This has been devastating to the lives, health, careers, reputations, retirement benefits and families of thousands who serve their country. We urge all, inside and outside the military, to review the limitations of HIV testing.

    At the time of his arrest in August 2010, Technical Sergeant David Gutierrez had put in nearly 20 years in the Air Force and looked forward to qualifying for an honorable discharge and full retirement in a couple of months. His work record as an aircraft maintenance manager at McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas was spotless. He kept completely separate from this military career the sexually free “swinger lifestyle” he pursued with the consent and participation of this then-wife, Gina Gutierrez, even after “testing positive” in 2007 and 2010. But when the Air Force found out, it charged him with “aggravated assault,” the military’s charge for having sex without disclosing one’s HIV status. He was, and remains, healthy. Not one person alleged he had infected them with HIV.

    The Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ) assisted the defense on appeal. Under the direction of licensed California private investigator Clark Baker, OMSJ has a successful record of defending alleged HIV positives. Said McDermott, “Without OMSJ’s efforts and diligence, the results in this case could not have been possible.”

    OMSJ educates defense lawyers on problems with HIV testing. Unlike other HIV law organizations, it is willing to challenge a defendant’s HIV status by presenting expert scientific witnesses. In Gutierrez, however, it didn’t get the chance to do that on appeal because the original defense team refused to retain OMSJ, as a rumored “fraudulent” agency pursuing “conspiracy theories,” and presented no evidence on testing at the trial level. Nonetheless, OMSJ influenced the appellate decision based on the low probability of HIV transmission and harm.

    Gutierrez will get his sentence reconsidered based on a conviction reduced to “assault consummated by battery” and the two upheld convictions of failing to follow a lawful order to practice “safe sex” and inform partners, and “adultery” affecting the discipline and image of the armed forces. He could even be released on time served for almost five years, says McDermott.

    Episode 96: Dr. Manuel Garrido Recalls His Own Escape from the ‘Positive Hell’ of Living with ‘HIV’ Feb 01, 2015
    Show notes

    The year is 1987, and the world stands in fear of an alleged new virus, “HIV,” with only one treatment in development, a highly toxic drug called AZT. A medical doctor in Spain gets his own test results — “positive” — and descends into alcoholism and despair. Twenty-seven years later, as featured in the new documentary film Positive Hell, he is healthy and proof that there is indeed life after HIV.

    En Español

    In this first experiment in producing a fully scripted, translated interview with a foreign-language-speaking guest, “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely interviews Dr. Garrido. Journalist/filmmaker Joan Shenton stands by, and HPAY co-host David Crowe provides recorded English translations of Dr. Garrido’s Spanish responses. (Stay tuned for a version of this Podcast en Español.)

    Dr. Manuel “Manolo” Garrido Sotelo is a medical doctor and founder of “Superando el SIDA” (Overcoming AIDS) in northern Spain. He and four patients are the subjects of Joan Shenton’s latest documentary, this time exploring the stories of these so-called “long-time non-progressors.” Says Dr. Garrido: “What I can say is that in most cases, the people who live longest and in the best state of health are those of us who do not take the medication.” Further, the film reveals that his sexual partner of 20 years has never tested positive.

    Episode 95: Jon Rappoport On Living Outside ‘the Matrix’ Without Going All ‘Conspiracy Nut’ Jan 15, 2015
    Show notes

    Conspiracies or “a Matrix of lies around us”? Whatever you call it, investigative reporter Jon Rappoport has exposed high-level corruption and the medical cartel he famously named AIDS Inc. But a better life is possible, he says, if we have the courage to imagine brighter outcomes and the strength to build them.

    In Rappoport’s view, medicine is central to the ability to control large numbers of people. “If you want to do the most horrendous things to people, the best cover story you can have is a virus,” he says.

    “How Positive Are You” co-hosts David Crowe and Elizabeth Ely take his tour of reality in vivid 3-D, asking not only “who runs the world?” but also “what can we do about it?”

    Drawing on his 30 years’ experience as a journalist, Jon Rappoport now helps others expand their personal power outside what he calls “the Matrix.” In addition to running a consulting practice with private clients, he has made publicly available, on his “No More Fake News” Web site, three collections — The Matrix Revealed, Exit from the Matrix and Power Outside the Matrix — and has lectured extensively in the U.S.

    Rappoport’s articles on politics, health, media, culture and art have appeared in newspapers and magazines in the U.S. and Europe, including LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, The Village Voice, Nexus, and CBS Healthwatch. He has also hosted, produced and written radio programs and segments in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and appeared as a guest on more than 200 radio and television programs, including ABC’s Nightline, PBS’ Tony Brown’s Journal and Hard Copy. LA Weekly submitted his name for a Pulitzer Prize for his 1982 interview with the president of El Salvador University during a military occupation of that campus.

    In 1994, Rappoport ran unsuccessfully against a long-time incumbent for a seat in the U.S. Congress; however, his 1996 “Great Boycott” against eight giant chemical companies – including Monsanto – continues today. AIDS rethinkers might recall his 1988 book AIDS Inc.: Scandal of the Century.
