Aspartame's approval by the US FDA in the 1980s, says Betty Martini of Mission Possible World Health International, was a political decision, taken over the objection of the FDA's own scientific panel. Studies used to obtain approval were sanitized, to hide damaging effects the sweetener had on laboratory animals and eventually, Donald Rumsfeld was brought in to push through the approval.

The European Food Safety Authority has recently published a number of studies that their new review will be based on, all "in the name of transparency". But they are missing all the good stuff, says Martini.

Here is what she has written to the European Parliament, which ordered the Food Safety Authority to do this new evaluation:

REPORT TO PARLIAMENT: EFSA CHEATS ABOUT ASPARTAME

The European Food Safety Authority, EFSA, released industry studies they said were in the spirit of openness and transparency, but leaving out independent peer reviewed studies and aspartame's history of corruption.  It was anticipated.  Ajinomoto said they were confident aspartame would be found safe. Are they working together? 

See the in-depth report on studies EFSA released by Mark Gold of the Aspartame Toxicity Center:

Don't miss a word of it. This includes the history and statements from the Task Force on aspartame, which were so detrimental to G. D. Searle they sued to get them removed from the record. There are no secrets.  They went to every length to hide the fraud. The defense team hired the Justice Department prosecutors when the FDA called for Searle to be indicted for fraud.

  With the constant stream of "independent" studies showing aspartame's deadly effects from heart attacks to cancer Parliament and EU said another review was needed.   Of particular interest is a Danish study on 60,000 women showing aspartame can jump preterm birth rates 78%.  Parliament has every reason to be concerned.  The FDA admitted aspartame causes birth defects, and then sealed the records. We recovered and restored them to the Bressler Report.  Pediatric professor of genetics, Dr. Louis Elsas, testified before Congress his concerns, yet the bill to put a moratorium on aspartame and have NIH do independent studies on the problems being seen in the population like effect to the fetus, drug interaction and behavioral problems in children, etc, never got out of committee.

Now Parliament wants a warning for pregnant women and industry says no warning is needed. They know a warning of birth defects means aspartame is no additive.  It's an addictive, excitoneurotoxic, carcinogenic and genetically engineered drug and adjuvant that damages the mitochondria or powerhouse of the cell and interacts with drugs and vaccines.  The methanol is classified as a narcotic and causes chronic methanol poisoning. This affects the dopamine system of the brain and causes addiction. 

It was obvious what was going to happen ... 

Dr. Herman Koeter, former EFSA head released his statement that they were pressured by industry to hijack science, stating in particular the Ramazzini studies which showed aspartame is a multipotential carcinogen.  FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, testified before Congress aspartame violates the Delaney Amendment because of the cancer shown in original studies, admitting that based on this no allowable daily intake could be set.  EFSA's conflict of interests has recently been exposed as well. 

It was anticipated that EFSA would show their loyalty to industry again, and omit the facts and independent studies.  We knew we had to advise Parliament what was going on in advance.  On our web site, www.mpwhi.com you will see a button for "peer reviewed research" at the top of the page.  The banners on the first page present the congressional records, the UPI investigation exposing the corruption, the FDA Board of Inquiry report revoking aspartame's petition for approval, Dr. John Olney's 49 page report to the BOI explaining it will cause birth defects and the "Complete Bressler Report" with the teratology studies returned that had been hidden for over 30 years admitting birth defects.  The "Report for Schools" contains the evidence needed to show aspartame is a teratogen causing birth defects and mental retardation.  On the top buttons find FDA's report of 92 symptoms from seizures to blindness, on their stationery.  "Aspartame News" goes back for years and even has the damning CDC investigation, which was sent to EFSA but not posted.

EFSA showing only the industry side of the picture is fraudulent since they deliberately conceal its toxicity.   With the whole picture in front of them they chose to support industry.  EFSA asked for all records in PDF form and not only were these resent by Lane Shore, Mission Possible Chicago, but he did in-depth research and sent them more damning records.

James Turner, renowned DC Consumer Attorney, Naders Raider and author of The Chemical Feast, joined with neuroscientist John Olney, M.D. in 1974 and fought to prevent FDA approval of aspartame.  Dr. Olney did studies on aspartic acid, which comprises 40% of the aspartame molecule, finding it caused lesions in the brains of mice.  His report to the FDA Public Board of Inquiry predicted that aspartame would produce serious problems, including birth defects, damaging the brains of babies and children, a serious subtle side effect that no one has seriously looked for.

On reviewing the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) publishing of original studies submitted by the manufacturer to get aspartame approval, Turner said: 
 


"If this is what EFSA calls openness and transparency it fails the laugh test. It is the false history we hear from the manufacturers of aspartame over and over again. These studies were so corrupt the FDA attempted to have the company, G. D. Searle, indicted for fraud.  The Department of Justice assigned two attorneys, Sam Skinner and William Conlon, to prosecute Searle, whose offences were so blatant as to be indefensible. Searle's defense attorneys, Sidley & Austin, killed the government's action by hiring the prosecutors, the statute of limitations expired, and the case forever died.  Years later Skinner publicly apologized for his actions in the aspartame case, when he faced U.S. Senate confirmation for a cabinet post.

"Where in EFSA's openness and transparency strategy is the FDA special task force report condemning Searle's studies as a violation of law? Where is the FDA internal report on cancer-causing byproducts created by aspartame consumption? Where is the FDA letter seeking a grand jury investigation of Searle studies, including aspartame studies on monkeys, which had grand mal seizures after consuming aspartame? Where is the Public Board of Inquiry ruling banning the sale of aspartame because of the aspartame animal studies in which statistically significant numbers of animals got cancer? This report was subsequently overturned by a new FDA Commissioner who had to leave FDA because of conflicts of interest.  Where is the scientific analysis of the Commissioners ruling that is filled with scientific misstatements, non-sequiturs and false science used to overrule the Public Board of Inquiry?  How is it possible for any decision maker to rely on a report that leaves out most of the story? It is not possible.  Decision makers relying on EFSA should demand it supply them the totality of the aspartame record, not only the carefully selected, flawed and ultimately false reports from aspartames manufacturers.

"In 1970, three years before Searle petitioned FDA for aspartame approval, Dr. Olney was so concerned about aspartame safety that he asked Searle to join him in doing studies in his laboratory where he could show them what aspartame was doing to animal brains.  The brain damage was shown and Olney felt there would be no approval, but G. D. Searle did not submit the results to the FDA when it sought approval of aspartame.  Where are the studies Searle did showing lesions in the brains of aspartame consuming mice and then withheld? The marketing of aspartame is not because it has been scientifically approved as safe, but through political manipulation and dishonesty.

Donald Rumsfeld was hired as Searle's CEO in 1977, and asked to meet with me. We met and I suggested that we create a team of researchers that could answer the troubling aspartame questions one way or another. After six months of dithering, Searle decided against trying to address the dangers of aspartame scientifically. The FDA appointed a Public Board of Inquiry, which held hearings and issued its report in October of 1980. In November of 1980, Reagan won the election for U.S. President and Rumsfeld turned up on President Reagan's transition team.  He "called in his markers," words now famous for how aspartame was approved.

The new President, who owed Rumsfeld favors, wrote an executive order that made the FDA Commissioner powerless to sign into law the decision of the FDA Public Board of Inquiry to revoke the petition for approval.  Then Reagan appointed Arthur Hull Hayes, a physician who worked at the Pentagon while Rumsfeld was Defense Secretary under President Ford, as the new FDA Commissioner. Hayes appointed a task force to review the PBOI ruling. The committee scientists found that the Board position on the cancer causing potential of aspartame was supported by the science and advised Hayes to approve the findings of the Board. Instead Hayes overruled the Board. Where in the EFSA openness and transparency position are the reports of the FDA scientists who reviewed and approved the PBOI findings of the dangers reported in the Searle animal cancer studies?

Hayes ruling allowed a potentially deadly excitoneurotoxic drug to be marketed for human consumption. The EFSA finding, which hides from decision makers very important facts they need to know to make sound decisions, if adopted would allow aspartame to spread its harm throughout the world. (The decision is not only whether to permit the sale of aspartame but also how it should be labeled if it is sold.)  The Guardian reported that aspartame was effectively approved in England thru a business deal with Dr. Paul Turner, chair of the government committee charged with reviewing aspartame safety, who at the time he served on the committee was also a consultant to the aspartame manufacturer. He did this without the public knowing. Where are Dr. Turner's recommendations and the facts surrounding it in EFSA's open and transparent posting? These are facts that decision makers and the interested people, including vulnerable consumers, of the world should be told by EFSA.

"Continually from 1970, independent study after independent study has failed to show that aspartame is safe, while thousands of consumers have reported heart attacks, cancer, birth defects, obesity, strokes, and other harm occurring after they consumed aspartame.  Where in the EFSA posting are the thousands of aspartame consumer adverse reaction reports received by regulatory agencies around the world? Studies suggest DNA damage, increased cancer incidence and cell damage from formaldehyde, an aspartame by-product, all in connection with aspartame consumption. Where are these studies in the EFSA posting? For the 4 decades I've worked to publicize including thorough food labels the dangers of aspartame (with some success, since it never reached its goal of substantially replacing sugar), the studies showing its lack of safety have piled up. EFSA has purported to present, with self-proclaimed openness and transparency, the entire scientific story regarding aspartame. In fact, it has only presented that portion of the story that advances the interest of aspartames manufacturer. It has ignored the rest of the story, which shows the aspartame risks consumers face.

Why has EFSA ignored almost every study showing risk? By some estimates, virtually all-independent studies done on aspartame contain critical information about harm?  EFSA should not be permitted to get away with presenting as if uncontroverted data that FDA officials, scientists and lawyers repudiated and that one FDA Commissioner called reprehensible, actually favor aspartame. Allowing EFSA's posting to go officially unchallenged could result in Codex using it to validate marketing it in countries where it is now not approved, creating the likelihood that vast numbers of new consumers will be harmed. Parliament and Europe must have the truth aspartame has not been shown to be safe and study after study says it is spreading harm."

Dr. Ralph Walton, psychiatrist, did a study on aspartame.  Monsanto refused to sell him the aspartame. They were not funding or controlling it, and knew the findings would be made public.  The administrator of the hospital who took part in the study had a retinal detachment and lost his vision in one eye. Another subject had conjunctival bleeding.  Some said they were being poisoned.  The institution had to stop the study.  Any honest study on aspartame will show detrimental results.  

Dr. Walton did research for 60 Minutes when they did an expose on aspartame after Dr. John Olney made world news on aspartame and the brain tumor connection.  The aspartame molecule breaks down to diketopiperazine, a brain tumor agent.  

Dr. Walton's research showed only industry funded and controlled studies ever said aspartame was safe, but that 92% of independent and unbiased peer reviewed research showed the problems.  He also said if you removed 6 studies the FDA had something to do with (because of their controversy after approval) and one pro-industry summary 100% of independent studies show aspartame harm.  This was sent to EFSA and is on our web site.

Dr. Walton is a psychiatrist in practice in Mayville, New York.  Today he said:  

"I have had a busy psychiatric practice for over 40 years, and for the past 25 years have dealt with the many problems which the artificial sweetener aspartame has caused my patients.  It can lower the seizure threshold, leading some patients to have grand mal seizures.  For patients with underlying mood and anxiety disorders it can significantly accentuate symptoms. As an excitotoxin I believe that it is a factor in multiple neurologic disorders, including MS and autism.  The marked increase in prevalence of these disorders coincides with the introduction of aspartame into our food supply.  The failure of the FDA and EFSA to remove this toxin is particularly tragic.  Unfortunately these regulatory bodies are apparently responding to tainted industry sponsored research and ignoring the growing number of independent studies identifying multiple problems."

"I have been a licensed Texas Attorney since 1971, and served as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, U.S. Department of Justice, from 1972 - 1976. In December of 1996, while at the peak of my legal career as the Chairman and CEO of the 18th largest law firm in San Antonio, Texas, I was diagnosed with the first of two brain tumors and had surgery in 1996, 62 days of daily radiation in 1997, and a second surgery in 1998 (in which my pituitary gland was removed). I was on medical disability for 4 years because of the side affects of the radiation. In July 2000, I wrote a research report which documents the causal connection between aspartame and brain tumors entitled: "Aspartame Causes Brain Tumors ... Beyond A Shadow Of A Doubt," which is published at www.dorway.com/lawyer1.html  You can contact me at edjohnson@stic.net or 210 877-0855. " 

In original studies aspartame caused several types of brain tumors including pituitary and astrocytomas.  

About birth defects, Dr. Bill Deagle said:

"The European Environmental Association has projected that with the rise of autism caused by toxic foods like Aspartame, MSG, Fluoride, and environmental degradation, by 2013 no one will be born in the Western World that does not to some degree have autism. My board of AAEM, American Academy of Environmental Medicine and Dr. William Rae, director of the Dallas Environmental Clinic agreed in open discussion at the October 2010 annual meeting."

"The US government first licensed aspartame as a chemical warfare weapon, a brain washing agent.  When I started using it I was so brainwashed by it, and addicted when people told me it was killing me I couldn't believe them.  When I finally developed what looked like an ALS from it I went to a shrink because I was so depressed I wanted to kill myself, and he told me some chemical agent was doing this to me.  So I got off of it and every study that I discovered on it showed it to be a horribly toxic poison and a potent abortifacient.  It destroys human sexuality and fertility.  After I got off of it, it took me two months to achieve apparent normalcy.  I had no idea what big political foes I was stepping on until I was approached by an FDA Investigator who told me to stop immediately exposing aspartame and that I was endangering my career in life. I lost my home and my career and was left chemically hypersensitive, which leaves me chemically damaged whenever I'm exposed to chemical influences. 

" I am presently partially paralyzed again and I've totally lost balance and stagger and fall at times.  My bladder empties itself automatically without warning.   Both in my own practice and personal contacts I see aspartame victims and they have no idea until I warn them.   They are always very grateful to be alerted to what has caused their problem.  Everyone involved with approval should be criminally prosecuted.  EFSA should get its act together and release the truth not industry propaganda. Their concern should be with food safety, not loyalty to the manufacturer."

"Over the past 51 years, I have practiced both as a pharmacologist and a retail pharmacist. In this capacity I became aware of the deleterious health effects of aspartame. For the last 16 years, I have lectured internationally, sharing and consulting with literally thousands whose health has been detrimentally affected by the use of products containing aspartame.

"Research tells us that aspartame releases free methanol or methyl alcohol (wood alcohol) in any liquid. Methanol has a high toxicity in humans. Typically the toxic effects occur over time. Methanol can be fatal due to its CNS depressants properties or in a process of toxication, it is metabolized to formic acid leading to symptoms of hypoxia at the cellular level and also causing metabolic acidosis among a variety of other metabolic disturbances.

"Additionally methanol poisoning can cause testosterone suppress which reduces sexual interest, pleasure and capacity. Aspartame damages the hypothalamus which also suppresses the formation of testosterone."

"It would be appropriate to hypothesize that aspartame consumption has played a major role in the proliferation of erectile dysfunction. Is it any wonder that we now see 30 and 40 year old men requiring drug intervention to combat erectile dysfunction. The pharmaceutical manufacturers of Viagra. and Cialis have a love affair with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi.

"Consider the nightmare of drug interactions and deaths.  These are discussed in Dr. H. J. Roberts medical text, "Aspartame Disease:  An Ignored Epidemic" in great detail.  These can also be found in Dr. Russell Blaylock's book, "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills".  After decades of independent studies and public record after record no one has had the ability to get this deadly chemical off the market to the detriment of the public at large."

Arthur Evangelista, PhD, former FDA Investigator, U.S. Food & Drug Administration, says:

"While working with the FDA, I regularly have seen the political influences of Pharmaceutical corporations as exemplified in the workings of the Food & Drug Administration.
 
"After intensively studying the effects and processes of Aspartame, I realized this product exemplified political subversion of public health for profit. I also noted through review of this data, that a multitude of Food & Drug employees recommended further safety studies before this product (toxin) was approved.
 
"It became apparent that the Food & Drug political appointees (managers) were consistently and continuously at odds with their own scientists. This was due to the FDA manager's fraudulent manipulation of data, and the suppression and concealment of the objective results, in order to subvert the approval process. 
 
"This fraud was perpetrated to provide positive outcomes to G.D. Searle (and Monsanto), and also with those Chemical-Pharmaceutical firms seeking approval, often with deadly consequences. This also occurred with medical devices and in other 
areas of FDA's laboratory and scientific investigations, rendering many of the FDA reviews, tainted and fraudulent.
 
"Thus, the order of political procedure was to ignore G.D. Searle's own scientific studies (showing patho-physiological effects), and, subsequently, ignoring (other) later credible independent studies on the toxicity of Aspartame. This included the restriction of historical information regarding the three components of this product. Here, we see the political nature of Mr. Donald Rumsfeld, et al, appropriating influences to undermine or conceal many of the studies showing toxic side results.
 
"Examples of Phenylalanine's toxicity were well studied during the mid-1930s, which has long known to disrupt brain-chemistry function. The same applies to Aspartic acid (isolates) for its neural, excitation effect. Methanol is a known carcinogen, especially when used in this particular chemical compound, which is out-of-nature
and isolated." Today Dr. Evangelista is Dir. Of Operations and Research, Public Health, Medical Fraud, Investigations.

Another important issue EFSA must address is the methanol issue. Because this is free methanol, not bound to pectin or accompanied by ethanol (classic antidote for methanol toxicity) like in fruit and vegetables it converts to formaldehyde. The Trocho Study in Barcelona by Dr. Maria Alemany showed the formaldehyde embalms living tissue and damages DNA. No wonder aspartame causes so much cancer. The aspartame's manufacturer tried to assassinate Dr. Alemany's character. When I visited Dr. Alemany in Barcelona he told me, "Aspartame will murder 200 million people."

Jim McDonald of the UK Aspartame Awareness Campaign says in the US the methanol is 44 times too high and 35 times to high in the UK. The severe problem of metabolism of methanol in humans was not taken into account when aspartame was approved. This is backed up by publicly available data on Methanol in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and then some very simple arithmetic.

While FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, admitted in Congress that aspartame violated the Delaney Amendment which forbids putting anything in food you know will cause cancer, he also said the FDA should not have been able to set an allowable daily intake for this reason. Now consider in order to calculate the ADI for a product intended for the food chain, a No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) must be found in laboratory animals. The amount of product which produces "No Adverse Effect Level" is divided by a safety factor of 100 to give the ADI. For aspartame in the UK, 2 studies where rats were fed aspartame, resulted in an NOAEL of 4000mg/kg, divided by 100 gives an ADI of 40mg/kg. This ADI takes no account of the toxicity of methanol - NOTE: the lethal dose of methanol in humans is 343mg/kg.

Mr. McDonald says if an adult ingested the methanol in the NOAEL of aspartame it would probably kill him. A NOAEL of aspartame in rats is NOT a NOAEL of methanol in humans. This issue cannot go unanswered.

There have now been three Ramazzini Studies showing aspartame is a multipotential carcinogen and causes everything from leukemia and lymphoma to cancer of the liver and lungs. EFSA has tried to rebut them because as Dr. Koeter confessed they were pressured by industry. Aspartame caused cancer in original studies and it should be no surprise it causes cancer in independent studies.

When the first Ramazzini Study was released after being peer reviewed by 7 world experts Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., author of "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills" said

"The study released in the European Journal of oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should terrify mothers and all those consuming aspartame sweetened products. This was a carefully done study, which clearly demonstrated a statistically significant increase in several types of lymphomas and leukemia's in rats. Both of these malignancies have increased significantly in this country since the widespread use of aspartame.

"This study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to cellular DNA and that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a duplicate of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent study, this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame every day could increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or leukemia.

"They also found an increased incidence of malignant brain tumors, even though it was not statistically significant. This does not mean there is no association to brain tumors, since only the animals exposed to aspartame developed the tumors. With children and pregnant women drinking the largest amount of diet colas, this puts their children at the greatest risk of developing one of these horrible diseases. Their study found that even low doses of aspartame could cause these malignancies; yet, the higher the dose, the more cancers that were seen.

"Since aspartame can increase obesity and may even cause the metabolic syndrome that affects 48 million Americans, there is no reason to ever consume this product. At the least it should be immediately banned from all schools."

EFSA received many of Dr. Blaylock's reports which are not on web in their spirit of "openness".

World expert on aspartame H. J. Roberts, M.D. today wrote on "Aspartame Disease: It's Origin and Evolution". He said:

"As a consultant internist and endocrinologist in the early 1980's, I encountered an increasing number of patients with problems and complications that had baffled the physicians. Careful observation revealed that many could be specifically attributed to the use of products containing the chemical sweetener aspartame by weight-conscious persons. This association was reinforced by the alleviation of symptoms after withdrawal of such products, and their prompt recurrence following re-challenge - despite intense corporate, bureaucratic and "peer-reviewed" denials.

"This issue assumed enormous public health importance as aspartame products were being consumed by over half the population. Its manifestations included major neuropsychiatric afflictions ("refractory" headaches; seizures; confusion; dizziness; depression), the aggravation of diabetes mellitus, visual changes, paradoxic obesity, addiction, joint pains and hyperthyroidism...leading to extensive "negative" diagnostic studies and potentially hazardous interventions.

"These observations were documented in scientific articles initially based on 100 patients and then 551 patients and subsequent books - including "Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic" presenting data involving 1200 cases. They emphasized high-risk groups that should specifically avoid aspartame products. The independent confirmation of my observations by professionals has been gratifying. Another important aspect of these studies was insight into the nature of many disorders, including Alzheimer's disease."

Dr. Roberts in his many books on aspartame has exposed the original studies and the shenanigans pulled to market a chemical poison for human consumption. Consider the failure to challenge the manufacturer's contract with Universities Associated for Research and Education in Pathology (UAREP). This private group was engaged to determine the factual accuracy of prior aspartame studies - but with one stipulation that UAREP "shall not express an opinion" regarding either the design or safety significance of these studies, nor make recommendations about the safety of aspartame for human use. How outrageous can you get? G. D. Searle actually "swore them to silence"! They paid for this silence $500,000!!

Richard A. Merrill was the FDA's Chief Counsel who requested a grand jury investigate the manufacturer for its alleged "concealing material facts and making false statements in reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of aspartame.

He prophetically projected: "The FDA must receive the truth, not psychological warfare. To emphasize the importance of safety data on aspartame, we note that if ultimately approved for marketing, this sweetening agent can reasonably be expected to be part of the daily diet of every American."

Through the political chicanery of Don Rumsfeld aspartame is now marketed throughout the world causing disability and death. Government agencies supposedly there to protect the people like EFSA have given their loyalty instead to the aspartame manufacturers. It's in your hands now, Parliament. Aspartame was never proven safe.

Just like cholesterol has been condemned as "bad" and this lie has given rise to a billion-dollar industry of useless and even damaging cholesterol lowering (statin) drugs, so have retrovira been condemned, giving rise to a billion-dollar industry of Aids research and pharmaceutical intervention, to cocktails of "anti-retroviral" drugs they tell us are a must for anyone reacting to that very unspecific test that shows up stressed proteins associated with HIV. The retrovirus being targeted, HIV, incidentally has never been shown to do anything that could be construed as destroying the human immune system. As a matter of fact, it seems to be a necessary component of healing wounds and lesions, as Cal Crilly has discovered.

Cal is one of the few people who are able and willing to look at these details. His latest brainchild is a question: "Is HIV to be found just in lesions?"

Good reading!

I've been looking at this subject for nearly 14 years now, I guess I stumbled in on a mess.

They all end up with liver damage and immune failure anyway.

Is HIV just in lesions?

HIV and CD4 T-cells both need fat to exist.

"Interestingly, gp41 exists as a stable complex with caveolin-1 in HIV-infected cells."

Why didn't anyone ask why it's a stable complex?

Caveolin once bound to HIV then stops HIV jumping around looking for caveolin to bind to.

"Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is a major protein constituent of caveolae, a type of plasma membrane raft. We observed that coexpression of human Cav-1 with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) blocked virion production from cells that are ordinarily highly permissive. Further investigation showed that this effect is specific, occurs at low ratios of Cav-1 to HIV-1 DNA, depends on expression of Cav-1 protein, and involves severely impaired expression of HIV-1 proteins."
Blockade of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Expression by Caveolin-1

"In a previous study we showed that budding of HIV-1 particles occurs at highly specialized membrane microdomains known as lipid rafts. These microdomains are characterized by a distinct lipid composition that includes high concentrations of cholesterol, sphingolipids, and glycolipids. Since cholesterol is known to play a key role in the entry of some other viruses, our observation of HIV budding from lipid rafts led us to investigate the role in HIV-1 entry of cholesterol and lipid rafts in the plasma membrane of susceptible cells."
Lipid Rafts and HIV Pathogenesis: Host Membrane Cholesterol Is Required for Infection by HIV Type 1

Of course the thinking in the mainstream is if they reduce all of our cholesterol then HIV will go away.

This will simply kill off all our CD4 cells anyway so you see they think in gibberish.

It's a highly developed secret code of a language that no logical people can understand.

Is AIDS then in the main a disease of low Fat and Selenium, Vitamin C and Lysine?

And the HIV tests just pick up people with lesions or not enough fat in their diet.

I began asking a lot of questions like this when you could see people like Tine Van Der Maas fixing wounds with what they call Umlingo.
South Africa: Umlingo Wamangcolosi - 'Curing Aids' by Being Healthy

Also becoming negative over there.

All their ingredients basically help heart disease etc.

So these were were articles I wrote this year.

Notes to self and everyone else.

I first concluded that CD4 T-cells respond to arterial fat.

If you want your T-cells to go up eat more food as long as you have the Vitamin C, Selenium/Glutathione and Lysine in the diet you won't get heart disease as these are the nutrients that cure heart disease.

Thanks to Sepp Hasslberger for all these posts.

AIDS: CD4 T-Cell Test is a Measure of Fat

This is slightly off the fat subject but a descriptive analysis of what the HERV-W retrovirus does in pregnant women.

I think the fact that a retrovirus is so important for a proper pregnancy this is enough reason to completly ban the Mother to Child prevention campaign where they give disgusting drugs like AZT and Neverapine to women and children.

What do retroviruses do when pregnant?

This piece is trying to get a handle around the involvement of HIV in smooth muscle and arterial changes...

it's on the right track though for years I presumed Africans had higher levels of HLA-DR genes from genetic studies.

I think the genetic researchers I was reading didn't know HLA-DR is a lesion gene.

So the Africans they were testing perhaps just had less fat and vitamin C to patch up problems.

Aids and Arteries - The smooth muscle CD4 connection

So is HIV just in lesions?

HIV appears with HLA-DR genes whatever they all do together but they both appear in lesions.

And p24 appears in HLA-DR+ cells which also happen to appear in normal non 'HIV infected' placentas...

It was the study that made me wonder why HLA-DR+ meant you would be HIV+.

"Antigen p24 was localized to HLA-DR positive cells"
HIV proteins in normal human placentae.

And here...HIV and HLA-DR cells are stuck together...did anyone wonder why? .

Incorporation of HLA-DR into the Envelope of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 In Vivo: Correlation with Stage of Disease and Presence of Opportunistic Infection

"Oh they must be infected????" is the standard answer... but they don't know why and still are nowhere near finding out why.

So the Human Immune Retrovirus and p24 antigen only appear when HLA-DR are activated in lesions...

But the lesions go away with good nutrition and so does the p24 and HIV that appears with HLA-DR.

You can do it with any decent foods.

"This study demonstrates that DR expressed on CD4+ T cells dramatically increases HIV-1 expression. Virus production in DR+ cells was > 10-fold higher than in DR- cells as measured by p24 production. Moreover, two T cell lines that were derived from the same parental cell, one DR+ and the other DR-, differentially expressed HIV-1 following transfection with full-length HIV-1 clone as determined by luciferase.
Viral expression in DR+ transfectants were up to 20-fold higher than the DR- counterparts."
HLA-DR on T cells enhances HIV-1 expression


And you also see HLA-DR and the CD4 T-cells in arterial changes and inflammation and lesions....

"HLA-DR was expressed on 28% (range 16-42%) of all T lymphocytes in the wall of the inflamed temporal artery, but only on average on 6% of peripheral blood T lymphocytes, indicating a high degree of local T cell activation in the inflammatory lesion."
HLA-DR expression in the vascular lesion and circulating T lymphocytes of patients with giant cell arteritis

"HLA-DR expression was more often seen in macrophages and T cells in ruptures (25 of 28 cases) compared with expression in macrophages in superficial erosion arteries ...."
Coronary Plaque Erosion Without Rupture Into a Lipid Core A Frequent Cause of Coronary Thrombosis in Sudden Coronary Death

And all other lesions such as kidney, liver, lung, skin, causes can be fungus, bacteria like TB, chemicals, solvents like benzene and alcohol, scurvy, smoking, cancer, etc etc have HLA-DR active in repairing the wound and HIV seems to be a part of that.
Therefore HIV is just part of the wound process, if you are unlucky enough to have some form of lesion then HLA-DR+ activated cells appear and that's where HIV is.

You can google 'lesion' with any organ you pick and 'HLA-DR' and the 3 will appear.

I've tried kidney, liver, heart, lung, foot, brain, mouth, neck, stomach, gut...gum...oral and caries lesions...

They all come up bingo.

HLA-DR is not a racial gene as I once thought but one that kicks in for wound repair.

Africans and blacks in the US etc are just poorer so are battered about more as we all know from poverty.

And they also get tested more.

That is also an aspect of this epidemic, the medical profession have proved themselves to be blind bigots.

Very few doctors have even registered that the presumption that gays, prostitutes, junkies and Africans and Hispanics will be all carrying a sex virus is quite dodgy.

And if you test these groups over and over again with a dodgy test well someone will look positive.

This test that had nothing to do with a sex virus but was trying to pick up the 'leukemia' retroviruses we all get with cancer so of course the 'sex transmission' belief will stuff up all the data.

Intravenous drug addicts have lesions - well duh.

The gays that first appeared with 'AIDS' snorted drugs that made their lungs bleed.

Hemophiliacs bleed.

Only junkie prostitutes get AIDS the others get paid enough to eat properly.

Even sperm uses HLA-DR to attach with???

"Remember that sperm binds to HLA-DR on white blood cells. Interestingly enough, it turns out that the AIDS virus is covered with a protein coat that mimics HLA-DR in several important respects, including its structure. This suggests that sperm are able to attract and acquire AIDS virus particles."

This study may have clicked it all for me.

These African women became HIV after this using drug tenofovir which causes lesions.

"About 127 Zimbabwean women who were HIV negative are feared to be now HIV positive after they participated in trials that were aimed at testing a set of drugs that medical experts thought could reduce the risk of infection."
HIV Negative Zimbabwean Women Test positive After Drug Trials

The drug causes lesion in all sorts of places like kidney and liver too.

Or skin rashes will do the trick to react with p24.

"Among 210 patients at 2 indigent care HIV clinics, 9 cases of tenofovir-associated skin reactions were reported. (23) Eight patients were diagnosed with tenofovir-related reactions--a pruritic eruption involving the face (n=7), extremities (n=5), trunk (n=4), and entire body (n=2) occurred within the first 2 weeks of tenofovir therapy. One patient developed concomitant urticarial lesions, angioedema, and shortness of breath. In 2 instances, skin lesions first developed after resumption of a previous tenofovir-containing regimen. Six out of the 8 patients were rechallenged with tenofovir or tenofovir/emtricitabine and developed recurrence of skin eruption and pruritus within 24 to 48 hours, resulting in permanent discontinuation of tenofovir. Three of these patients were taking efavirenz as part of their regimen, which is also associated with cutaneous reactions."
Cutaneous drug reactions associated with newer antiretroviral agents

Or the standard AZT used in millions of gays, women and children...mice study but really what was anyone thinking?

"Although MgD alone led to a 1.9-fold increase in plasma thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2), derived from the highly vasoconstrictive TXA(2)), AZT + MgD increased the TXB(2) level 3.5-fold. AZT (+/-MgD) provoked prominent hepatic damage expressed by distortion of lobular architecture, nuclear and cellular swelling, and inflammatory lesions and loss of hepatocytes. AZT alone caused mild cardiac lesions, resulting in partial cardiac fibrosis, especially in the atrium. AZT + MgD caused only scattered small-size cardiac lesions consisting of microscopic foci of inflammatory infiltrates in the ventricles but led to more prominent lesions, fibrosis, and scars in the atrium. MgD or AZT alone caused varying degrees of skeletal muscle degeneration; in combination, more intense degeneration and regeneration of muscle cells were evident."
Cardiac pathologic effects of azidothymidine (AZT) in Mg-deficient mice

"AZT alone caused mild cardiac lesions, resulting in partial cardiac fibrosis, especially in the atrium."

I'm going a bit further and I'm saying that antiretrovirals cause heart disease and blood poisoning, well of course it's no secret.

But even more so than that is the possibility that stopping HIV and other retroviruses makes us fall apart.

They are cell to cell fusion RNA in other retroviral studies.

What is different with HIV?

Did HIV just stay a vague cash in and everyone hoped no one will notice?

The transmitted claim really got the panic and money flowing and this has been from day one.

But if you fix lesions HIV goes.

NERD RESISTANCE

All this analysis has little point unless it can be put into practice.

It looks very much as if repairing any lesions from psoriasis to candida or TB can stop the HIV test from cross reacting with your wounds.

Also the growth seen with leukemic T-cells is a HIV positive.

The advice below largely works on heart disease and leukemia so make up your own minds????

It won't hurt and if you do have real fungal or bacterial infections these things will help hold the body together.

I use Thyme tea and recommend copper foods with avoidance of iron foods in infections as a fix.


HOW TO TRICK THE TEST

"Three recombinant proteins from HIV-1 (p24, gp41 and gp120)".....these are the antigens to knock off....

New membrane assay for the detection of antibody to HIV-1 and HIV-2 using recombinant proteins.

I think you can try Bromelain, Turmeric, Olive Leaf Extract and and Green Tea, Sage or Lemon Balm to block the antigens.

Maybe not Sage a week before the test as it has estrogens which in theory could stimulate retroviruses.

Green tea definitely is needed.

Eat enough veggies like the brazil nuts, broccoli garlic for selenium, lemons and all the rest of the yum stuff with a folate and B12 supplement or food, that's for the viral load test.

Eat good amounts fat (: that keeps T-cells up and repairs wounds and get enough sun and sleep so you're hormones stay normal.

Cod liver oil if it rains or gets cloudy for days - as low Vitamin D makes viruses express - or sun.

When you stay in front of a computer at night you destroy the melatonin in your pineal gland and that effects things too.

So get good sleep.

Fish may be the best, it also has decent lysine levels, milk and red meat have a molecule we are allergic to and can cause inflammation.

Most of these recommended foods have anti-inflammatory effect.

CD44 is an attachment molecule that always turns up in tumours and is a good indication cancer will spread.

So HIV buds there.

There is a cross over with HLA-DR here, they occur together.

"CD44 was concentrated in two locations: in clathrin coated pits and at the base of budding HIV virions. For many (although not all) virions, CD44 co-located with budding HIV and appears to form a "collar" at the base of the budding virus. We saw no differences in CD44 localization between HIVLAI/III and HIVBAL isolates, nor differences in HIVLAI/IIIB and HIVBAL gp120gp41 "spike and ball" morphology. No significant immunogold staining of ICAM-1 was seen in these same experiments although low expression of ICAM-1 on the cell surface was shown by indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. However, by using AA5 cells with high expression of ICAM-1 on the cell surface, an even distribution of ICAM-1 both HIVLAI/IIIB-infected and uninfected AA5 cells was observed. We saw only rare association of ICAM-1 molecules with HIV virions. Co-localization of CD44 with HIV virions at the site of virus budding supports the hypothesis that CD44 may be involved in HIV budding."
Co-localization of CD44 expression with HIV budding in HIV-infected cells.

I think and suspect Bromelain may have an effect on p24 but I may be wrong, I'll work out the maths later.

But it stops HIV budding in CD44.... so therefore the p24 is likely to disappear.

Be careful with bromelain being a blood thinner, it's good to be on lysine first with enough fat foods and make sure you have vitamin k in the diet to not bleed.

Bromelain has never made me bleed, I've been on it 4 years for psoriasis.

Green tea has vitamin K.

Bromelain knocks off CD44 so there is nowhere to bud.

"CD44 cell surface proteins are involved in leukocyte binding to endothelium and the metastatic spread of tumor cells. Using flow cytometric analysis (FCMA), we investigated the effects of the proteases bromelain, papain, trypsin, and chymotrypsin on the density of CD44 molecules present on human leukemia Molt 4/8 cells. Bromelain was found to be most active in reducing CD44 receptor density."
Bromelain proteinases modulate the cd44 expression on human molt-4/8 leukemia and sk-mel-28 melanoma-cells in-vitro.

And if HIV is as Gallo made out a retrovirus that appears with leukemia then bromelain will work as it cures leukemia.

Recent experimental study found that OLE (olive leaf extract) has anti-HIV activity by blocking the HIV virus entry to host cells

These teas below all have effect on wound healing by the way, as does green tea.

Try them all, Sage will stop dementia.

"Extracts from lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.), peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.), and sage (Salvia officinalis L.) exhibited a high and concentration-dependent activity against the infection of HIV-1 in T-cell lines, primary macrophages, and in ex vivo tonsil histocultures with 50% inhibitory concentrations as low as 0.004%. The aqueous Lamiaceae extracts did not or only at very high concentrations interfere with cell viability. Mechanistically, extract exposure of free virions potently and rapidly inhibited infection, while exposure of surface-bound virions or target cells alone had virtually no antiviral effect. In line with this observation, a virion-fusion assay demonstrated that HIV-1 entry was drastically impaired following treatment of particles with Lamiaceae extracts, and the magnitude of this effect at the early stage of infection correlated with the inhibitory potency on HIV-1 replication. Extracts were active against virions carrying diverse envelopes (X4 and R5 HIV-1, vesicular stomatitis virus, ecotropic murine leukemia virus), but not against a non-enveloped adenovirus."
Aqueous extracts from peppermint, sage and lemon balm leaves display potent anti-HIV-1 activity by increasing the virion density

Also use things like turmeric as this is used in leukemia to stop leukemic cells going out of control and any thing that stops leukemia naturally stops a so called "leukemia retrovirus" like HIV and while you're at it use coconut oil in the curries.

Tomatoes are fab too cos of lycopenes, artichoke pastas... actually all the foods with flavonoids have effect... lemons, berries etc..

Mushrooms I believe should thrown in a plenty due to wound healing properties and the sulphurs.. all of them

hope this helps

The reason things like coconut oil work on HIV is wound healing..

COCONUT OIL IN HEALTH AND DISEASE: ITS AND MONOLAURIN'S
POTENTIAL AS CURE FOR HIV/AIDS*

"RESULTS:
VCO-treated wounds healed much faster, as indicated by a decreased time of complete epithelization and higher levels of various skin components. Pepsin-soluble collagen showed a significant increase in VCO- treated wounds, indicating a higher collagen cross-linking. Glycohydrolase activities were also found to be increased due to a higher turnover of collagen. Antioxidant enzyme activities, and reduced glutathione and malondialdehyde levels were found to be increased on the 10th day after wounding, which were found to have returned to normal levels on day 14 in the treated wounds. The lipid peroxide levels were found to be lower in the treated wounds. A histopathological study showed an increase in fibroblast proliferation and neovascularization in VCO-treated wounds compared to controls."

"neovascularization in VCO-treated wounds compared to controls."
Means it made new arteries, I think it gives fats for HIV to bind on and finish repairs.

Things like Butyrate are odd, they fix wounds.

"Researchers working with an experimental drug for sickle cell anemia noticed an unexpected side effect: the incidental healing of debilitating leg ulcers in seven patients.

Several of the participants had suffered with large open sores for decades."
Arginine Butyrate Heals Sickle Cell Leg Ulcers

or a patent on Butyric for wound healing...

Methods For The Treatment Of Wounds Using Butyric Acid Salts And Derivatives

Though butyric acid stimulates HIV!!!

We thus found that P. gingivalis could induce HIV-1 reactivation via chromatin modification and that butyric acid, one of the bacterial metabolites, is responsible for this effect.

My point being should you risk a therapy like butyrate that might stimulate HIV and fix your lesions???

Or use anti-retrovirals that stop HIV and create lesions????

As a final point retinoids in general seem to stimulate our retroviruses.
That is Vitamin A.

I tell people to be careful with carrot juice as vitamin A hypomethylates DNA.

This also makes retroviruses come out of the genome.

Now if this was really bad for us then why is vitamin A so good for us in the right dose?

"We show that levels of virus replication in monocytes cultured 7 days before and continuously after HIV infection in 1 to 10 microM retinoic acid were 10- to 20-fold greater than those of control cells."
Enhanced HIV-1 replication in retinoid-treated monocytes

That's a lot more HIV in cells exposed to Vitamin A...!!!!!

When people take steroids it kind of stops cells from growing and tones down cytokine activity and inflammation.

The inflammation being where all the HIV is.

But those types of steroids stop wound healing....

"Anti-inflammatory corticosteroids significantly impair wound healing. Retinoids partially, but significantly, reverse this effect. Little is known about the mechanism of steroid retardation or retinoid reversal. We hypothesized that corticosteroids lower transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) levels and tissue deposition in wounds and that retinoids stimulate corticosteroid-impaired TGF-beta and IGF-I release and collagen production."
Effects of steroids and retinoids on wound healing

But "Retinoids partially, but significantly, reverse this effect."

Retinoids just switch on the critters or RNA or messengers or retroviruses or whatever you want to call them.

And this inexplicably leads to wounds healing.

While the nutrients that also make the retroviruses go back into DNA like B12 also patch the area.

B12 is better than drugs and it also methylates DNA so helps keep retroviral activity lower...
Cutaneous lesions and vitamin B12 deficiency An often-forgotten link

Don't look..

If you're desperate this works..

"Human urine treatment orally produced a significant increase in the breaking strength, dry tissue weight and hydroxyproline content in dead space wound model. It was concluded that human urine applied topically or administered orally (10 ml/kg, p.o) possesses wound healing activity."
Wound healing activity of human urine in rats

Thing is though it's really not funny, I'll cry when this is over.

A good guide to fixing yourself with google is type in "whatever you are using" well not literally, with the words "wounds" or "lesions".

And learn yourself, every person to their own taste.

Fix AIDS yourself.

I'm now summoning the dead to clear the way.
