Science Sold Out: Does HIV Really Cause AIDS? [Paperback]

Rebecca Culshaw (Author), Harvey Bialy (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 2, 2007

There are many well-established scientific reasons that the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is highly doubtful. In Science Sold Out, Rebecca Culshaw describes her slow uncovering of these reasons over her years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interaction with the immune system. It is rare that a researcher who has received funding to study HIV ever expresses any doubt in the paradigm, and an even rarer event still when she abandons the field altogether. This book focuses on the changing definition of AIDS and the flaws in all HIV testing. In a much broader sense, it explains how the current, government-based structure of scientific research has corrupted science as the search for truth. It offers not only scientific reasons for HIV/AIDS being untenable, but also sociological explanations as to how the theory was accepted by the media and the world so quickly. In particular, this book offers a scathing criticism of the outrageous discriminatory measures that have been leveled at HIV-positives from the inception.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An excellent account of the most shameful episode in the history of medicine. Rebecca Culshaw has pulled it all together: a history of inept and dishonest AIDS ‘science,’ the manifold reasons HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS, the harmfulness of AIDS drugs, the physical and psychological human suffering caused by the AIDS hoax."
—John Lauritsen, author of Poison By Prescription: The AZT Story and The AIDS War

"Every mathematician knows that by changing the definition of something, you can change the entire truth about that thing. Rebecca Culshaw describes how the HIV = AIDS ‘orthodoxists’ have abused this idea. As in a shell game, they keep moving the definitions around, so that anything can be true and everyone will be confused. The abuse of science that has been documented here is itself very frightening. But when we learn that the standard treatment for HIV-positives—antiviral therapy—will substantially increase their risk of dying, it’s even scarier."
—Dan Fendel, professor of mathematics, emeritus, San Francisco State University

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells the truth by examining the facts...., April 13, 2007

By 

Louie Ville (Tuk-Son) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Science Sold Out: Does HIV Really Cause AIDS? (Paperback)

Science has indeed sold out and this book outlines the horrifying events that have resulted. Is it any wonder, considering how corporatized our culture has become, that Science too would fall prey to the almighty bottom line. The brand of science used in support of HIV is highly specious and has far more in common with religious dogma than with real science, and Dr. Culshaw brilliantly and succinctly exposes that dogma, at every turn.

The previous reviewer (Kate Volpe) is typical of the AIDS apologists frequently described in the book. Her review employs the cliched propaganda of the status quo in a pathetic attempt to malign Dr. Culshaw's character, while carefully neglecting to deal the many salient issues that this book boldly addresses. Such underhanded tactics seem to be the norm when one defends HIV, for its also seems that the theory has proven to be quite devoid of tangible explanatory value. Furthermore, Ms. Volpe's exaggerated incredulity is simply appalling, and I shudder to think of a future where there are no more people still buying "these kind of books", for many more of these kinds of books - books that reveal unpopular truths - will be necessary if we are to have hope for the future, given the present state of things. Regardless, we need to restore rigor and objectivity to Science, and we can only do that by honestly assessing its present unsound condition. Removing the numerous conflicts of interests that are exemplar in HIV science is a good place to start.

Of course, we could all go merrily along our way, mindlessly believing the pollyanna spewed forth by rubes like Ms. Volpe, but I'll think we'll all be better served if there is a public examination of the disputed "facts" used in support of HIV. Either way, I'll personally continue to require my facts to be a product of the evidence, unfettered by preconceived expectations and most certainly not mere statements of faith based on a corrupt consensus. That said, let's compare Ms. Volpe's notion of "fact" to Ms. Culshaw's.

Ms. Volpe writes:

"The facts are that HIV treatment is remarkably effective and has given people with HIV a new lease on life. The facts are that our focus now is getting these effective medications to the developing world, to the millions of children and adults who will die otherwise."

Contrast that fact-less tripe with the following quote from the book that we are presently reviewing:

"So healthy people stay healthy for a while and this is credited to the drugs--but there is no evidence to say that they would not have remained healthy even if they never took any medication at all. This is due to the fact that clinical trials of "anti-HIV" drugs rarely if ever use placebo controls, so there is no way to determine whether, for example, nevirapine is better than nothing...activists and researchers alike defend this fundamentally unscientific notion by saying that denying toxic drugs to HIV-positives is "unethical". "

As this passage demonstrates, anyone who values reason over emotion will discover many insights by reading this book, and you will equally discover that no harm will come from that simple act, contrary to what HIV pundits would have you believe. In fact, your experience may be similar to my own, and you may find yourself shocked and furious to discover the low standards by which HIV=AIDS has been measured. Regardless, this brief excerpt from Dr. Culshaw's book demonstrates that propaganda and fear-mongering are inferior to reason when evaluating the facts of any matter.

In closing this review, it should be noted that the new leading cause of death with HIV-positive AIDS patients is "liver failure" -- most likely due to the toxic medications that Ms. Volpe wants to ceremoniously deliver to the developing world. Of course, HIV defenders hide this fact by labeling all HIV-positive AIDS deaths as being "from complications of AIDS." Well, it is imperative to our collective health that we all better understand what those "complications" really entail, and you can certainly get a better understanding of that nebulous phrase by reading this very important book.

This review is from: Science Sold Out: Does HIV Really Cause AIDS? (Paperback)

I just finished this book and while a short-read it was amazingly beneficial in terms of information, logic and resources. This book opens a whole new door of opportunity to look into factual and historically relevant information on this difficult issue.

As a person who was predicted to be dead years ago and is still healthy and going, this book brings a sense of understanding and balance to the nagging questions surrounding HIV/AIDS.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with an open-mind who wishes to understand the full story.

People who scream about information being "dangerous" are people who don't want said information released...I advise that you read and study yourself to decide.

What I know is that the established HIV/AIDS argument is to take their word for it or die. They refute evidence by calling people names or threatening that said "dissenters" are dangerous and killing people. They never, however, honestly refute the claims.

The "dissenters" are the only ones bringing forth arguments, facts, numbers etc to support their statements. The established side merely points to their imaginary pile of evidence and proclaim that the case is closed and they simply cannot be bothered to explain any further.

I personally have been convinced that authors like this are correct. They are the only ones providing real scientific evidence and the other side is nothing but stories about how something could or should happen - with no proof.

Read this book and decide for yourself.

As for me, I will not sacrifice my health for those who refuse to give me a good reason why.

To give you a brief taste, take this lasting concept to heart: It is believed that 1/3 of all people infected with HIV are unaware of their status. How is it, then, that we don't see thrones of people dying of AIDS-defined diseases left and right?

More importantly: why am I still alive?

5.0 out of 5 stars A damning indictment of modern medical research, January 17, 2007

By 

Frank Lusardi - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Science Sold Out: Does HIV Really Cause AIDS? (Paperback)

Noting the long recognized near impossibility of isolating HIV particles even from advanced AIDS patients, Culshaw remarks: "The farcical concept of viral load was invented to crate the illusion of correcting this embarrassing fact." This book demonstrates that the entire theoretical edifice of HIV/AIDS is an illusion, a vast farce, now a faith, the greatest blunder in the history of medicine. It will forever shame what we today accept as "science" that a courageous young mathematician, armed with one brief volume, can so easily discredit twenty years of Earth's most advanced research enterprise.
