Subject: multifactorial causitive models Date: Thu, 08 Jun 1995 20:25:35 -0400 (EDT) (166 lines of text) From: AIDS_CURE at delphi.com I want to clarify my position as to the true causative factors of AIDS. The only problem we have is my inability to accurately articulate my observations and findings. I agree the simplified picture I put on the front of my book(identifying volatile atmospheric hydrocarbons "toxins") as the causative agent is misleading. I meant to implicate them as one of several cofactors(including drugs, alcohol, smoking, malnutrition, lack of exposure to ultra violet light, and a stressful lifestyle). I am living proof that HIV does not cause Aids. I agree the so called "HIV" plays no role in the disease process. I believe the only thing the ELISA Test can determine is that your body is producing antibodies. I believe that an HIV Positive test may indicate that an unhealthy nutritional deficiency is developing, ie. an accumulation of internal toxins is present that the body has not been able to breakdown due to these deficiencies. The presence of these toxins causes the body to produce antibodies. I say my development of Aids was due to a multifactor causitive concept. For two years: I drank 3-4 beers per day(drug use), I was malnourished (lived on coffee & small portions of junk food), I had a high stress job and personal life so I got very little sleep. All these are the primary contributing risk factors. But the final determining factor that caused me to develop into the Aids conditions(instead of an unhealthy alcoholic) was that I was also exposed to high levels of TOXIC FUMES, primarily containing acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. At the cellular level, my body had built-up an accumulation of metabolic toxins(acetylaldehyde, etc) due to the alcohol and malnutrition. The toxins from the fumes just pushed my body "over the top" into the chemical imbalance conditions of Aids. People I worked with were also exposed to the toxic fumes, but since they ate three nutritious meals and had less risk factors in there life they were not noticeably affected by these toxins. The toxic chemical compounds contain the elements carbon and hydrogen and bond together with a chemical energy so high that the antibodies that the body is producing can not separate the compounds into their elemental components and thus detoxify them to the body. This may also be due to the antibodies being deficient in NAD, a coenzyme that is essential for the normal cell to function. The bodies cellular immunity is dependant upon this niacin containing enzyme being present in each cell. The mechanism by which drug use and other risk factors become debilitating is they deplete the niacin containing coenzymes, NAD and NADP, and create a massive deficiency of niacin and other vitamins. By restoring the bodies normal chemical balance to each cell with high levels of Niacin, B- Complex, Vitanin C and other nutritional supplements the toxins are eliminated naturally from the body. The appearance of so called multinucleated cells, is in reality due to cells that are deficient of NAD & NADP and which have accumulated a mass of molecular toxins within the cell wall. The so called "HIV mass" is only one of several symptoms that develop with this accumulation of toxins in the human body. Over a period of prolonged risk factors these molecular toxins may mass together by an anerobic chemical attraction and form the masses that have formerly been reffered to as HIV. This is why Peter Duesberg has found over 4,000 documented cases of Aids without the presence of HIV. By accumulating these high toxin levels over a shorter period of time, the Aids conditions develop before the toxic compounds have time to form into masses. There is no pathogenic organism that invades the body and replicates itself to suddently appear as a mass of chemical compounds that can be seen with the electron microscope(formerly referred to as HIV). You do not get Aids from having sex, sharing needles or from blood transfusions. You develop these conditions over a period of several years through a process Peter Duesberg refers to as a Risk-Aids Hypothesis. I am in complete agreement with Professor Duesburg, Paul Philpott, and others who contend that the primary cause of the "Aids Condition" is Drug use and malnutrition. But that explaination alone does not account for why some people who do drugs and are malnurished develop the Aids symptoms and some escape them. All I have done is identify other risk factors (independant variables) that can contribute to the development of the Aids and Aids Related Complex conditions. I believe we should have a scientific model or models that effectively communicate the message that we are trying to convey that HIV does not cause Aids. What we need to present is a defensable positive statement of what does cause Aids. Keeping in mind that this is a work in progress I offer a rough draft of these multifactorial causitive relationships. AIDS RISK FACTORS: Drug use + malnutrition + lifestyle = AIDS Drug use + Alcohol + malnutrition = AIDS Drug use + Malnutrition + atmospheric toxins = AIDS Alcohol + Malnutrition + atmospheric toxins = AIDS Alcohol + Smoking + Malnutrition + atmospheric toxins = AIDS Alcohol + Malnutrition + atmospheric toxins + stress = AIDS Drug use + Alcohol + Smoking + Malnutrition + Atmospheric Toxins = AIDS Mothers toxin level + Malnutrition + Atmospheric Toxins = Pediatric AIDS Where: Drug use is a product of the type of drug and the time factor; Alcohol is a product of amount and the time factor; Malnutrition is a product of extent and time; Smoking is a product of the toxin level and time; Atmospheric toxins is a product of level and time; and stress is a product of the several additive effects which are commonly identifiable; and lifestyle is a product of several additive factors including sexual activity. These models would appear much more scientific if I had the capability of providing subscript notations instead of my lengthy explainations. I will gladly accept the opinions recently posted as to which drugs pose the greatest risk factors and which should be weighted as much less of a risk. I would appreciate it if someone could summarize these discussions into a simplified listing of drugs and their rank as probable risk. AIDS is a condition where there is an accumulation of internalized toxins(from several possible sources) with the accoumpaning malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies. Restoreing the bodies natural biochemistry with theraputic levels of Nutritional supplements allows the bodies natural immune system to break down these toxins and restores the individual to health. All of the causitive risk models contain the malnutrition factor. Thus with the appropriate Nutritional therapies all AIDS conditions are completely preventable, if identified early enough in their development. Fully developed AIDS conditions are treatable, reverseable and potentially cureable with the appropriate Nutritional Therapies. I am strenuously opposed to classifing these treatments as "Alternative Treatments". In many peoples mind this title puts them in the group with acupuncture, meditation, massage and other alternatives, which have been summarily dismissed as being unscientific and worthless. By even using the term Alternative we are admitting that anti-viral agents(toxins) are the preferred treatment. By simply stating that we advocate Nutritional Therapies we are saying this is the "Preferred Treatment Protocol". This opens the discussion into what do Nutritional Therapies involve and what is the scientific basis for these procedures. We now have available sufficient scientific research and documentation to prove that these Nutritional Therapies have proven to be more beneficial than any other treatment protocol in the world. If you question this fact get the book, Nutrition and AIDS, edited by Ronald R. Watson. The book is published by CRC Press of Boca Raton, Florida and costs about $100 American. The CRC number is 800-272-7737 or you can read my summary on the back of my free brochure. I hope this statement clarifies any misconceptions I might have engendered with my previous brief and inept postings. No worries mates we're on the same team. Thanks for your input. Bill Lamb
