the ?HIV-is-a-marker? hypotheses, which hold that HIV is a benign passenger virus and can easily infect only individuals with some deviations from normal health status, thus, being only a marker of such deviations. The main problem with the official HIV-causes-AIDS theory is that it has never been shown that ?HIV-proteins? are related to a virus.? ?AIDS diagnosis itself causes drastic increase in mortality. At least two factors are likely to be responsible for this excessive mortality. First, severe side effects of the medication AIDS patients are usually put on. Second, detrimental psycho-physiological effect of severe and permanent stress resulted from the very information about diagnosis of AIDS.? Virusmyth, Oct. 1996, April, 1998 ?Unfortunately, the general acceptance of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis and intensive propaganda of this view as the ultimate truth by ?the AIDS establishment? diverts the attention of the scientific community?and research funds?from the real path to reveal the causes of AIDS and reduce the number of its victims.? ?At the start of my heresy is the fact I don?t believe the HIV hypothesis very likely to be true. Once you go about reading the actual biochemistry and immunology about HIV and AIDS, it is only by taking a quite gigantic leap-of-faith that you can get to the notion that AIDS is caused by HIV. That so many very intelligent scientists are willing so thoroughly to suspend disbelief on this, basically to assume a conclusion in the absence of any very good evidence, is a very interesting case study in
