Johnny was also a civil rights activist starting in the 1970s, the author of the 1986 poem “Afr-I-Can Amer-I-Can”. His poetry can be found at www.poetrypoem.com/johnnyduncan

Dr. Bauer discusses some of the misconceptions about science, such as the non-existence of the scientific method, and the realization that scientists are not a special super-race of humans, but just ordinary people often motivated by mundane concerns (often financial). One of the scientific errors discussed was the disease SMON that was initially blamed on a virus but turned out to be caused by a pharmaceutical prescribed for the very symptoms of the condition. David mentioned the book Longitude that describes the story of British clock maker John Harrison who solve the problem of accurately calculating longitude but was prevented from gaining the prize for this discovery by the scientific elite of the time.

Dr. Bauer mentions an Institute of Medicine report on surrogate markers that notes that most are unproven but, despite this, they continue to be used routinely to define people as ‘unhealthy’ despite a lack of symptoms.

Dr. Bauer was a university chemistry professor and researcher who published several books on chemistry. Later on his attention turned to more fundamental issues of science, an area in which he has published several books and many articles.

The episode started off with David mentioning a sardonic review of Seth Kalichman’s book on “Denialists” and Terry Michael describing a crazy new theory being promoted in a book by Washington Post writer Craig Timberg.

Some of the news items that are covered include:

In this interview, Gos shares his original song, “Amok,” which he recorded with his Rock Band, Nero’s Opening Act.  The song is a tribute to the late Christine Maggiore, one of the founders of this podcast, and who is greatly missed.  Click on the song title to purchase it for as little as $1.  All proceeds from sales of the song will go to OMSJ and Rethinking AIDS.

David and Robert talk for 42 minutes about HIV and AIDS, HIV testing and its consequences, the AIDS drugs and their consequences.

David and Elizabeth talk with Curtis for just over an hour about his thoughts about HIV and AIDS when he was first tested, his first partner who died of asthma reported as AIDS, a second partner who was on the drugs and really wanted him to be too, and his current partner who has been HIV-positive and healthy for even longer than Curtis.

David talks about the history of AIDS, starting in the 1960s when immunsuppressive therapy to prevent rejection of transplants caused KS and PCP, the first two “AIDS” disorders, discovered in 1981 in a few drug-using, young gay men. Dr. Bauer shows how US HIV statistics disprove the AIDS hypothesis. Celia talks about HIV as a “super-human controlling power” or as a negative deity in the popular, political and medical consciousness.

Gary Null and his Progressive Radio Network have been the strongest supporters of questioning the HIV=AIDS dogma in the media for many years both through his radio shows and documentaries.

David Crowe and guest host Elizabeth Ely interview Marian for about an hour, talking about the evidence of HIV transmission through breast milk, and also about the use of antiretroviral drugs by pregnant and nursing women, and by infants.

First of all, only some of what David said was included in the final broadcast, and the one member of “AIDS Truth” who deigned to talk to Rebecca, Brian Foley, of Los Alamos, was given the advantage of responding to David’s recorded interview without David having the right to respond. Despite this, the comments speak for themselves although it would have been fairer to allow David to rebut the distortions of Brian Foley and the representative of the Cascade AIDS project who was given the last word.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Los Alamos National Laboratory, they are the people who brought us the atomic bomb. For a while they seemed to be looking for peacetime work but the Bush/Obama presidencies have revitalized the war industry enough that this no longer appears necessary.

Valerie Emerson tried the drugs but stopped when she found she could not take the side effects, but kept her daughter Tia, who had always been sickly, on AZT until she died. When she took her previously robustly healthy son Nikolas off she was taken to court in Maine and, unusually, won. The Tyson’s in Oregon were not so lucky after Kathleen, diagnosed HIV-positive after a 10 year monogamous relationship with her HIV-negative husband, decided that she wanted to breastfeed and did not want AZT for either herself or her baby. Jennifer also describes how Christine Maggiore was threatened by a social worker, an event caught on tape by Robin Scovill and incorporated in, “This Child of Mine”.

Terry and David discuss these cases with Jennifer, and the film that resulted, for just over an hour.

You can get more information on Jennifer’s film, and purchase a copy, at her website familieswithhivmovie.blogspot.com.

Tony believes the gut may be at the heart of what was called the “GRID” or “AIDS” epidemic that began in the 1980s. His theory was first documented by him on the HIV skeptic blog in 2008. His talk at RA 2009 is also on YouTube.

Tony’s theory centers around the idea that a healthy gut is crucial to overall good health. Yet, typical gay male sexual practices involve rectal washing or enemas, which deplete the natural bacterial flora in the intestine. He has also observed the use of anal lubricants and how their chemical structure can cause the intestinal walls to become more permeable. Another major factor, especially during the 70s and early 80s, was the widespread use of antibiotics among gay men, which might have prevented some STDs, but also devastated crucial intestinal flora.

Terry Michael and David Crowe discuss Tony’s intestinal dysbiosis theory with him for almost an hour.

We apologize for the low volume in some places, and promise to make the audio more consistent in future episodes.

Roberto then spent over 20 years in America where, for a while, he worked in a lab doing HIV testing, resulting in an interesting experiment when he decided to run blood through ELISA tests without diluting it 200 times.

Roberto has been associated with most of the AIDS rethinker groups in Latin America including Monarcas Mexico and Peru, as well as groups in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. He is currently providing health care services in Brazil, is a member of the board of Rethinking AIDS and will be speaking at RA2011.

During the introduction to the program David recommended the following:

• Watch the video “This Child of Mine” by Jennifer Wolfe.
• Watch the video “La Ciencia del Panico” (English or Spanish) by Isabel Otaduy and Patrizia Monzani.
• Read the book “Passionate Journey“, the autobiography of Marian Tompson.

Brian was so young at the time that his mother was making his medical decisions and her observation that the people taking AZT “looked like they were dying” saved his life. He quickly educated himself, and his resolve to stay away from the evolving AIDS pharmacopeia only strengthened with time. Brian is a unique witness to the genocide of hemophiliacs in the 1980s and 1990s and, in this interview with Terry and David, he discusses how drug companies, governments and hemophilia societies all “participated enthusiastically” in treating hemophiliacs with AZT and similar drugs, despite the tragic results.

For a scientific graph that shows how the deaths of hemophiliacs correlated with the advent of AZT, see this graph from the medical journal Lancet:

Brian’s voice has been altered to protect his identity.

The award described her latest publication, “AIDS, Opium, Diamonds and Empire,” as “the most progressive health book.”

We also discuss several new “Rethinking AIDS” video documentaries released worldwide.

We finish the podcast by remembering Karri Stokely, a caring and compassionate woman, who had taken AIDS drugs for over 10 years before discovering our work.  We are saddened to lose Karri, yet we are equally empowered to continue our journey rethinking AIDS because of her.
