Site of Dr. Peter H. Duesberg, a professor of Molecular and Cell
Biology at the University of California, Berkeley who isolated
the first cancer gene through his work on retroviruses in 1970,
and mapped the genetic structure of these viruses (HIV is
thought to be a retrovirus). This, and his subsequent work in
the same field, resulted in his election to the National Academy
of Sciences in 1986.
On the basis of his experience with retroviruses, Duesberg has
challenged the virus-AIDS hypothesis in the pages of such
journals as Cancer Research, Lancet, Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, Science, Nature, Journal of AIDS, AIDS
Forschung, Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapeutics, New England
Journal of Medicine and Research in Immunology.

In response to growing challenges to the HIV causes AIDS
paradigm, an international group of scientists and doctors
produced a manifesto called "The Durban Declaration." The
declaration was released just prior to the July 2000 13th
International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa and
attempts to end debate on this critical world health issue. This
rebuttal contains the full text of the original declaration with
interlinear comments that show how orthodox claims about HIV and
AIDS have been repeatedly contradicted in the medical and
scientific literature.

Anthony Brink, an advocate for the South African High Court,
debates Desmond Martin, President of the Southern African
HIV/AIDS Clinicians Society. Although the text refers frequently
to specific situations in South Africa, the site provides
valuable information and includes dozens of current and past
scientific references regarding AZT.
The creator of AZT, Dr Richard Beltz says of Brink's work: "You
are justified in sounding a warning against the long-term
therapeutic use of AZT, or its use in pregnant women, because of
its demonstrated toxicity and side effects. Unfortunately, the
devastating effects of AZT emerged only after the final level of
experiments were well underway, that is, the experiments which
consisted of giving AZT to large numbers of human patients over
a long period of time. Your effort is a worthy one."

Books and Publications
There are many well-established scientific reasons that the
HIV/AIDS hypothesis is highly doubtful. In Science Sold Out,
Rebecca Culshaw, PhD, describes her slow uncovering of these
reasons during research for her work constructing mathematical
models of HIV’s alleged interaction with the immune system. This
book focuses on the changing definition of AIDS and the flaws in
all HIV testing, and explains how the current, government-based
structure of scientific research has corrupted science as the
search for truth. It offers not only scientific reasons for
HIV/AIDS being untenable, but also sociological explanations as
to how the theory was accepted by the media and the world so
quickly.

AIDS virus. The latest thought provoking book from author
Stephen Davis.

Explore questions about popular claims that a virus known as HPV
causes cervical cancer and the safety and effectiveness of
Gardasil, the widely promoted “anti-cancer” vaccine.
How do we know that Gardasil prevents cervical cancer if
girls get shots at age nine as recommended, but don't become
sexually active for another 10 or more years? Since most cases
of cervical cancer in the US appear in women over age 35, and
the vaccine was tested for only four years, how did scientists
prove Gardasil works? If HPV is a sexually transmitted disease,
why is there no HPV test for men? If there are no HPV tests for
men, how can experts claim millions of men have HPV? Why do most
abnormal Pap smears indicating HPV infection become normal with
further testing — and without any treatment for HPV? If only
.0055% of American females are diagnosed with cervical cancer
each year, does it make sense to give 100% of all women in the
US vaccines of unknown safety and efficacy?
