Despite enormous efforts, over 100,000 papers and over $22 billion spent by the US taxpayer alone, the HIV-AIDS hypothesis has failed to produce any public health benefits, no vaccine, no effective drug, no prevention, no cure, not a single life saved. Is the science system to be blamed? Has science failed to reveal the truth about AIDS? In AIDS: Virus or Drug Induced?, two dozen scientists, scholars and journalists have investigated the status quo of AIDS research. Most of them have questioned the HIV-AIDS hypothesis before, but have since been censored, and sociologically excluded from AIDS research, politics and journalism. Here they are united for the first time to put on trial the HIV-AIDS hypothesis. There are those who acquit HIV entirely. Others who make a case for HIV as a necessary, but not a sufficient cause of AIDS. And one medical scientist who, together with the huge AIDS literature, defends the hypothesis that HIV is sufficient to cause AIDS. The book convincingly reveals that the scientific method could very well find a solution to AIDS, but only if ideas can be exchanged freely and if the HIV monopoly can be broken. AIDS: Virus or Drug Induced? illustrates that the solution to AIDS could be as close as one of several, very testable and very affordable alternatives to the unproductive HIV-AIDS hypothesis.

5.0 out of 5 stars very important- highly recommend!, December 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: AIDS: Virus or Drug Induced? (Contemporary Issues in Genetics and Evolution) (Paperback)

People believe the HIV-AIDS hypothesis only because they are not being shown the whole picture - and because the status quo has endured for so long. Its endurance is not due to its merits - people are working very hard at maintaining it's prominence. Most would not even suspect the extent of what has been and continues to be hidden from the general public. This subject is enormous - and extremely important. These books ,and the www, are currently the only way for informed insiders- top scientists + nobel laureattes - to warn the public about the serious failings of the HIV hypothesis + the all too human characteritics of those we trust with our lives. Informing oneself about this subject could prove priceless - whether personally affected by AIDS or not. See Peter Duesbergs site, Virusmyth, Rethinkingaids, Reclaimthebrain for more.
I would urge everyone to read this book , and all of Duesbergs work especially "Inventing the AIDS Virus". It really could be the most important book you ever read...

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Prunella! Cut the hyperbole!, August 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: AIDS: Virus or Drug Induced? (Contemporary Issues in Genetics and Evolution) (Paperback)

Please ignore the other review of this book. The author of that review abuses very nearly every rhetorical device known to man, when not outright lying.

The issue of AIDS and its origin is too important for people to blindly trust received wisdom. After all, this could be *your* health we're talking about here. Please read everything you can get your hands on with an open mind. Constantly ask questions. Decide for yourself whether or not the AIDS rethinkers raise valid questions/points.

5.0 out of 5 stars HIV/AIDS theory full of holes, September 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: AIDS: Virus or Drug Induced? (Contemporary Issues in Genetics and Evolution) (Paperback)

A nice collection of papers detailing alternative theories to the current HIV/AIDS hypothesis. Despite the apparent universal accepted HIV/AIDS model, there are plenty of evidence against HIV being the etiology of AIDS.
Can we afford to be wrong about AIDS causation especially since the currently available treatment for AIDS is a whole series of extremely toxic substances with questionable effectiveness?
And since when do legitimate alternative theories about a disease have to be totally suppressed?
And why was "reader"(one of the reviewers of this book) so vehement in his attack against Duesberg?
It seemed from his comments that he hadn't read a single paragraph from any of Duesberg's books or papers before? Maybe it's his failure to understand the logic of serious scientific arguments!? Has he read Duesberg curriculum vitae?

I highly recommend this book for anything in search of the truth behind the tragic collection of diseases under the name AIDS!
