days on a regular basis. Never particularly healthy. Considerable drug-taking habits.
Twenty to thirty cups of coffee every day, a history of speed, valium, grass, thorazine.
Alcohol. Has had syphilis and gonorrhea, many incidents of the latter. Has taken much
antibiotics. No.6. 34-year-old male bisexual. Emaciated, weight-loss. Lives on a total
junk-food diet, shoots heroin, shoots cocaine, free bases, has a long history of gonorrhea,
which has now become both front and back, and he is frequently re-infected. Much
antibiotics. No.7. 23-year-old heterosexual. Had pneumonia, but a definitive diagnosis of
pneumocystis was not made. Has also had fungal infections, while he lived in Miami.
Has sex with new women 4-5 times a week. Long history of antibiotics, taken for STDs (
sexually transmitted diseases), but also to "stave off possible infections." He dealt drugs
in Miami and used coke, speed, downers. No.8. 44-year-old white gay man from
Denmark. Somewhat promiscuous. 25-year, heavy alcoholic. Recently joined AA. Long
history of depression. After an automobile accident, had a major operation and a
transfusion. Did not recover well, and began losing weight. No.9. 54-year-old semi-
retired male. Bisexual. Has had candida, other fungal infections. 20 years of promiscuous
sex, much of it in bathhouses. Has had immunotoxic medical drug therapy for a cancer,
also has a history of hepatitis B and STDs. Took many gammaglobulin shots. 5-10 years
of amphetamines. No.10. 35-year-old heterosexual. Has had both pneumocystis and
severe herpes, hepatitis A, B, while living in Europe. Has taken many gammaglobulin
shots, had has several STD episodes. Shoots heroin regularly, is quite promiscuous. Has
used alcohol every day for six years (averages five drinks a day). This is not to suggest
that there are no puzzling cases of diagnosed AIDS, in which the immunosuppressive
factors are harder to find. Those hard-to-understand situations, as well as others, may
involve syphilis. But again, as I mentioned, the above 10 cases are normal in the
experience of, not just Mr. True, but many clinicians and therapists. The combination of
many drugs and STDs is common. In other words, immunosuppression already exists
from factors having nothing to do with the HIV virus. These factors are routinely ignored
by mainstream physicians in accounting for the immune deficiency called AIDS. Why?
Because the automatic assumption is made that HIV is the cause of all the
immunosuppression. *** YEARS OF ANTIBIOTICS: MORE ON CHEMICAL AIDS
Antibiotics, by many accounts, have been overused tremendously in certain pockets of
the American gay community, in the last fifteen years. In this, such gays represent an
extreme example of general overuse, particularly in hospitals. From reports of several
clinicians who interview people with AIDS, there are cases where these people have
taken antibiotics for ten years, continuously. This practice started taking off in the 60s. A
gay man, going to, say, Puerto Rico on vacation might ask his doctor for a script, for
antibiotics, because he wasn't sure he could get one in Puerto Rico. His doctor would
write one out. Prophylactic (preventive) dosing continued when the same gay man, back
in New York, would anticipate going to the baths on the weekend. He would load up on
tetracycline, just to make sure he would be okay if he ran into gonorrhea bacteria. And so
on and so forth, until, among some people, popping antibiotics became a daily regimen, a
habit, as San Francisco physiologist Joan McKenna says, "against the possibility of a

pimple." Overprescription of antibiotics has two principal effects. It creates antibiotic-
resistant germs which then become harder to treat, and it upsets in the patient's body the
balance of microbes which has been established over the course of evolution. Physicians,
then faced with antibiotics having no effect on their patients' infections - and not realizing
that the cause is genetic resistance which has been built up by those germs to antibiotics -
can in some cases jump the gun and assume the patients are so immune-depressed that
"drugs don't work anymore." Leading to false diagnoses of AIDS. A patient, through
overuse of antibiotics, carries around with him an imbalance of germs in which harmful
micro-organisms have gained the upper hand in territories of the body in which their
natural competitors have been drugged out of existence. Two instances of this are
salmonella and candida albicans. Both are specifically listed as grounds for a diagnosis of
AIDS on the September 4, 1987, CDC definition of AIDS, even though these infections
can clearly develop for no other reason than antibiotic abuse. Other similar instances are
streptococcus, Proteus and Pseudomonas. Any of these alone could be defined as AIDS.
You may, if you wish, rely on the wisdom of your doctor to know about the strange
imbalancing effects of antibiotic overprescription - but the facts are that most physicians
are unaware of, or ignore, that potentially important element of disease. 1. In some areas
of the third world where AIDS cases are reported, antibiotic use has grown tremendously.
Prescriptions are rarely necessary. The drugs are sold over the counter and then shot or
swallowed. 2. One of the most toxic antibiotics, chloramphenicol, whose use is carefully
monitored in the US, is shipped to Brazil, parts of Africa, and Mexico where, bought over
the counter, it can suppress immune systems by harming bone marrow. 3. Some
antibiotics inhibit protein-synthesis and are thus toxic (immunosuppressive). The
universally used tetracycline falls into this category. 4. It is probable that certain bacteria
are useful to us because, without being harmful, they "exercise" our immune systems and
keep them in good scavenging shape. Antibiotic overuse can demolish these useful
strains.
5. Beneficial skin bacteria act as a kind of immune system of their own, protecting us
against Staph, Strep, Neisseria (meningitis, gonorrhea), Clostridium, Cornebacterium.
Again, antibiotics can sweep the deck clean and rid us of these "immunizing" helpful
bacteria. 6. As previously mentioned, several clinicians and Joan McKenna, a San
Francisco physiologist, report, from many interviews of gay AIDS patients, extensive
long-term use of antibiotics (prophylactic) for possible STD infections - 10-15 years of
more or less continuous usage. One can infer that these men's bodies are filled with
antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Also that these resistant bacteria are being passed
around in dense quantities in areas of the gay community. Doctors are naturally baffled
by the failure of many types of antibiotics to put a dent in these bacterial infections. An
AIDS myth begins: Bacterial infections and their unmanageability are said to be entirely
the result of underlying immune-suppression from the HIV virus. 7. Some British strains [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
