Is there hope? For you? For me? For all of us? The answer is yes. It lies in "natural medicine." Herbs. God-given plants that have curative powers. The pharmaceutical giants will go on reaping billions in profits selling drugs. But they won't market one that saves the lives of those afflicted with AIDS. There will almost certainly never be a vaccine that will wipe out AIDS as there was for polio. The virus is too complex. It has the ability to mutate into thousands of genetic forms. The search for a vaccine will merely squander precious resources enriching yet more scientists and corporations for no human benefit. Many mainline scientists would agree that the chances for an AIDS vaccine in the foreseeable future are slim and none. Yet the corporations persist and pocket the money.23 Genentech, which is partly owned by Hoffman La Roche, is, according to intelligence sources, willing to risk even more lives for their products.

They are cooperating with the World Health Organization to commence massive clinical trials of new vaccines with uninfected volunteers. One of the new vaccines to be used in this clinical trial is manufactured from HIV particles stripped of their envelopes. The trials are scheduled to begin in 1994. The World Health Organization will search for volunteers among gays and other "high risk" subjects. Each individual will have to make his or her own decision about participating in such a trial. Based on what I've learned, here's the decision I'd make for myself: "No!" Arab historians centuries ago concluded that medieval healers found a cure for the Black Plague and those who were rich enough to acquire it were reasonably safe from the death that surrounded them. Historians of the era recorded that the herbal cure had a very high success rate. Intelligence reports on microbiological experiments at the Institute of Immunology in Moscow speak of a common weed found in Egypt being used to help AIDS patients. The weed is said to be mixed with 8- methoxpsoralen, plus white cells from the AIDS patient and then exposed to ultraviolet light, after which it is injected into the patient's body. Another intelligence report mentions in passing that the National Cancer Institute requested plant collectors from all over the world to send samples of plants to the Institute.

Apparently this request was activated by reports that British scientists were working on a compound taken from chestnut trees, black mulberry trees and from tropical legumes, which was showing great potential in treating AIDS patients.  (71 of ) Other reports mention in passing a protein from pokeweed leaves that is far more effective than AZT in inhibiting virus production. A natural compound containing pokeweed proteins enters cells, killing HIV viruses without damaging the cells themselves. (Pokeweed is a weed, with poisonous berries and roots, found in the U.S.) The only success to come out of AIDS treatment in Africa so far has come from ancient herbal medicine. Now that modern medical science has been seen by Africans as helpless against the onrush of the epidemic, many are turning to traditional herbalists such as Grace Chihuri in Zimbabwe, who says she has the cure for AIDS and whose successes have led medical people and journalists from around the world to visit her.

Grace works from her crowded Harare apartment, and stores her herbal medicine in old liquor bottles. In her carefully kept redarticle of the people she has snatched back from the jaws of death are more than a hundred and twenty names. One of her patients was Sophie Chikondo, a registered nurse who contracted AIDS while delivering the babies of HIV-positive mothers. Two of her friends, both nurses, who contracted the AIDS virus after she did, have died. But the herbal medicine administered by Grace Chihuri caused her diarrhea to disappear and the swelling in her groin and armpit to subside. That was two years ago, and today Sophie is alive and seemingly well. In the African country of Ghana, Nanan Kofi Drobo was an herbalist who attracted AIDS sufferers from all over the world, particularly Europe. They came to him because of his amazing record of success in healing AIDS cases, using only herbal compounds. Drobo was a man who knew what the Western pharmaceutical companies did not know or pretended they didn't know. He knew how to stop AIDS in its tracks with herbal compounds. His success in treating AIDS patients sent fear coursing through the medical and pharmaceutical establishments. Drobo's work was not sanctioned by the Ghanian government, which was under pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and powerless to disobey the IMF's orders to destroy Drobo's work. In the end, Drobo grew so renowned that he had to be killed.

This heinous crime has been officially classified as "suicide by means of self-inflicted gunshot wound." The weird part is that all of Drobo's herbal compounds and his formula and notes were missing from his home when he was found. What happened to them? So far, the Ghanian authorities are not saying. None of this should be surprising. Western pharmaceutical companies, after all, make much of their profit by chemically synthesizing the healing powers that are naturally present in plants. Whether it's aspirin or digitalis, the beneficial effects come from plant life. The same is true for AIDS. The cure exists in plant life. AIDS research is not necessary. All AIDS research now is about money: Billions in profits. And the pharmaceutical giants know it. At least one of them is well aware that an herbal formula that cures AIDS has been found and is being deliberately  (72 of ) withheld from the world. It will be made available only to the Olympians and their families and friends, just as the Venetian oligarchists found and kept to themselves the secret Egyptian herb formula that kept them and their families and friends safe during the Black Plague of the Middle Ages. Those who have this herbal formula have every intention of keeping it a secret, and they have the power to enforce that secrecy. Nor is anyone likely as things stand now to duplicate their discovery.

Much of the expensive scientific research into deliberately steered away from potentially fruitful approaches. Even the best-financed scientific insitutions have been skillfully led down blind alleys. There's nothing any of us can do to force these people to reveal their herbal treatment. But I can do this much: I can present the information I've acquired about what they've learned, so that virologists and genetic engineers who want to help mankind can finally go down the right path. The logic of what I'm presenting here can be confirmed by any virologist in the world. The right path is this: What they've discovered is a deoxyribonucleoside. AZT, DDI, DDC and all of the other "promising" drugs use a neucleoside analog. That is to say, they all use a riboside. Riboside allows the HIV-RNA messengers to invade the cellular membrane to the nuclei of the cell where they replicate in geometrical progression: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. In an amazingly short time, the numbers become astronomical. That is what makes these drugs that "slow down" the infection worse than useless.

The companies that make them deliberately use the neucleoside analog instead of a deoxyribonucleoside, which has the property that prevents the RNA viral messenger from infecting the nuclei of the cell. Their secret product: (1) Increases blood platelet integrity. (2) Increases transmutation inhibition. (3) Contains sufficient amounts of interferon. (4) Increases the stem cells. (5) Contains a co-enzyme which prevents RNA viral messengers from infecting the cell. For virologists and genetic engineers, the key is in Appendix B, where the Cold Spring Harbor virologists explain what the virus does. The solution is in a product that can stop the HIV from penetrating the cell. (AZT, for instance, does not stop the penetration.) There are plant substances capable of doing this. That's as much as I can say and hope to stay alive. I've now done all I can do. The rest is up to the scientists who can see that this is the right direction and are willing to follow it. And to all those who aren't scientists and are willing to pursue the truth on their own. We have been told, and come to believe, lies that are monstrous. Time is now short. Even the intelligence reports indicate that much. Only the truth will save us. If we are to live with hope for our future and the futures of our children and grandchildren; indeed, civilization as we know it we must quickly demand that our government and our leaders provide us with absolutely nothing less than full disclosure.

One of the most important investigations into AIDS was carried out in 1988 by the Social Services Committee of the House of Commons in the British Parliament. They were given considerable help, incidentally, by disaffected intelligence service agents and members of the medical and dental professions. The "Third Report from the Social Services Committee, Problems Associated with AIDS, Minutes of Evidence and Memoranda" is of great interest. One of its quoted documents is a memorandum from Dr. John Seale, Royal Society of Medicine, who has come as close to the truth publicly as any medical authority in the world. What he says contains great wisdom and the beginnings of solutions that could ultimately save millions of lives. This is an historically important document. I quote it in its entirety. Dr. Seale: No politician can make rational decisions to deal with AIDS without a clear understanding of the nature and severity of the epidemic, the means of transmission of the virus, and the prospects of a cure or preventive vaccine.
