      I can't believe this. A great testimony l must share. A few months back l was diagnosed with herpes virus. I really thought my life was over. I had used different kinds of medication which didn't help. Then l browsed the internet and found a great doctor by the name @dr_jacob who listened to my problems and sent me herbal medication via courier. I took the medication as instructed and within 2 weeks, the virus was gone.

    This speech was so poignant to the fact that so much ignorance exists out there. As someone who's negative, I'm constantly having to address my own biases that I may have against people w/ HIV. Regardless how they were infected or when, we need to understand that all people are worthy of love & respect and we shouldn't let a disease blind us. Thanks for speaking up!

    This was a good presentation. I do want to correct one mistake made: He said that if he took a rapid HIV test it would be negative because he is undetectable. That isn't correct. Rapid tests test for the antibodies, which are always present. Therefore, it would show reactive. And let me be very clear - Undetectable Equals Untransmittable - therefore he cannot transmit the virus to his partner.

  • @drsuessl

    The HIV = AIDS thinking is all wrong. I was fine, got sick with a microscopic parasite (from the salad at work), got treatment for that. A month later I tested positive even though I was perfectly fine. That was 1986.
    1991 retested (Elisa) positive. Started on AZT and the kept adding meds. I got sicker and sicker. The meds made me so sick, weak and vulnerable. I continued to work for my husband, a MD who wouldn’t talk about it.
    Eventually I had a massive GI bleed and came close to death. Even though I was seeing all kinds of doctors, nobody seemed to know that I was in liver failure. Liver cancer twice then waiting and finally got a transplant in 2013.
    I did my own research. I had no idea how bad these medicines are. They are DNA terminators, the same as chemotherapy. No wonder I have lipodystrophy, bone density issues, GI problems, chemo brain, muscle wasting etc etc.
    I was extremely healthy when starting these meds. I was 31. I had figure skated for 10 years, worked in the ER lifting and hauling patients and equipment and also lifted weights and worked out. No drugs. No alcohol. The medications have been killing me. Chemo for life. Not good.
    I stopped the ARVs in late 2018. The first 6 months were hard cuz I had no support, much the opposite. I kept reading and looking everything up. Mainstream does not support me. 27 years I was a perfect patient.
    8 months ago I tested again.
    NEGATIVE. I tested negative.
    The testing is NOT specific to HIV.
    PLEASE check out “House of Numbers” and any information you can find. Peter H. Duesburg (UcalBerkley) Rethinking AIDS.
    I’m not telling you what to do, but just look. Had I known all this info in the 1980s I never would have tested. At 25 I was told I wouldn’t see my 30th birthday.

    • @bradcampbell5766
      @bradcampbell5766 4 роки тому +1

      I agree with you. The test is similarly inaccurate for Covid-19 for the same reasons I guess. I have studied Duesberg, Mullis, watched all the videos, and read a lot of comments. I would guess that 95% of people are still grossly uninformed, and some people fabricate conspiracy theories that are laughable. It appears there was a lie that passed as the truth back in 1981. AIDS does not appear to be caused by a virus at all. If this is true it is mind boggling that have a new generation of people who are believing a lie about HIV. HEAL was an organization to counter the rhetoric that HIV causes AIDS. I wonder if that organization is still in existence. Take Care...

      Don’t test. The testing for HIV is non specific. The tests, all of them, are faulty.
      See Rethinking AIDS
      See House of Numbers (UA-cam).
      All kinds of things can make for a false positive (exposure to TB, malnutrition, having the flu or a flu shot, pregnancy, microscopic parasite (that was mine) and even stress).
