Comment (0)NEWS UPDATE: London Film Fest Drops AIDS Doc ‘Positive Hell,’ as ‘Vaxxed’ Backlash Hits Houston, L.A. Screenings Sell Out, NYC Gets Second Week
April 10, 2016–Telling people not to see an alarming public-health documentary may not be the best strategy to kill it. Perhaps emboldened by recent American censorships of Vaxxed: From Coverup to Catastrophe, the London International Film Festival has pulled AIDS documentary Positive Hell, according to veteran journalist, author and filmmaker Joan Shenton. (We reported on the film in Episodes 72 and 96, and posted a link to a discussion on “The Progressive Film Hour.“) The festival organizer admitted he acted under pressure from LGBT student groups at the university where he teaches.
UPDATE, April 11, 2016–DANGEROUS, ILLICIT, NAUGHTY, FREE viewing: Watch Positive Hell (28 minutes) anyway. (No, don’t. Please, you’ll feel better if you don’t. . . . it’ll hurt others’ feelings . . . don’t even think about it . . . you’re not thinking about it, are you? Mind Police! Open up!) UPDATE, September 8, 2016–It happened again. Another London film festival pulled Positive Hell from its lineup, this time the Portobello. Read our update HERE and “How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely’s essay at “The Truth Barrier,” and watch Shenton’s passionate defense of her film on “London Live” HERE.
Meanwhile, former “How Positive Are You” co-host Celia Farber is posting fascinating daily updates on the rapidly failing attempt to censor Vaxxed, so click on over to The Truth Barrier. UPDATE, April 11, 2016–Shenton gets her day in the media at “The Truth Barrier,” and she is devastating to this pretense of an “independent” film festival. How, indeed, do LGBT “activists” benefit from silencing positive stories of HIV survival? (Answer: They collect money.)

Comment (0)Episode 83: Dr. David Simpson on Healing Yourself, Not Your ‘Disease’
Do you have “HIV/AIDS” or any defined “disease”? Or are you a system out of balance? What would it look like to support your body and immune system rather than shooting at imaginary measurements such as T-cells and “viral load”? What is a disease, anyway, and do we really need to define, isolate and attack such things? If we can listen to our bodies in such exquisite detail that we support them back to their natural states of life and health, why don’t more of us know about this highly rational therapy? Join New York City chiropractor Dr. David Simpson as he leads our co-hosts, David Crowe and Elizabeth Ely, on a fascinating inquiry into the nature of the human body and how we might support it. The technology has arrived, and it affirms ancient ideas of healing.

Thomas Shevory is author of the 2004 book, “Notorious HIV: The Media Spectacle of Nushawn Williams.” He gives David and Elizabeth a lot of background on the case and discusses the upcoming civil trial that could see Nushawn, whose sentence expired two years ago, locked up in a mental institution for the rest of his life. Does this shock you? It should . . . especially since the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ) has found there is no evidence that Williams has ever been HIV positive.
