If you’re going to try to scam me, at least spell the name of my blog correctly. It’s a small thing, really, and more of a nuisance than anything else, but it does appear that blogs and websites that offer questioning, rethinking or “dissident” POVs on HIV and AIDS have been selectively targeted for a [...]
Note: Speculation by some of my more rabid critics of my impending death just because I haven’t blogged for awhile is greatly exaggerated. My muse has been on vacation while I have been in one of my reflective modes (read: dealing with fatigue) lately. To tide my more avid readers over, here is a post [...]
I’m just putting my 2 cents worth out here to help let the world (especially the media) know that there is more than one international AIDS conference taking place in Vienna this weekend. AIDS – Knowledge and Dogma, Conditions for the Emergence and Decline of Scientific Theories features speakers from around the world to address [...]
(image courtesy of The Ethical Nag) Just how much are physicians influenced by pharmaceutical reps bearing gifts? It’s a question recently posed in this report on Medscape, based on posts at a physician-only discussion group. The original question seems simple enough: “Are you influenced by the ads on paper and pens?” It was asked by [...]
I’ve written before about my interest in geeky stuff like the Alexa website rankings. A fellow AIDS dissident turned me on to Alexa last year, using it to point out how many Dissident websites and blogs there are out there, and how favorably many of them rank, especially compared to those websites that exist solely [...]
My role as a gay AIDS activist was first featured in a special report on AIDS in the Kansas City Times, July 8, 1989. I recently unboxed some of the early media accounts of my life as an openly gay AIDS activist in Kansas City. The very first words in the very first article ever [...]
Could it be that we are getting closer to a (more) unified alternative explanation for what causes “AIDS”? There are several recently published articles, as well as conversations between the authors, that just may prove to be the impetus for such a epiphany. This is not about some startling new discovery. It is the work [...]
A few days ago I wrote about just two recent media reports of contradictory scientific findings that try to explain how the human immune system works. The point was that science does not yet have a unified theory concerning either the immune system, or even the very nature of viruses. It is difficult to understand [...]
Seth Kalichman, someone named Lisa and J Todd Deshong huddle at “The Harvard Symposium”, an anti-AIDS dissident forum hastily organized last October in an attempt to counter the RethinkingAIDS 2009 Conference. (photo from dissidents4dumbees.blogspot.com) Is it ethical to withhold comments from rude and obnoxious haters? Yes, I’m talking about my most active critic, Baylor Health [...]
Call it intuition, but something tells me that it is about time for science to be turned on its head for being wrong. Again. Recently, published reports from various scientific fields offer new insight about possible ways the human immune system wards off disease, specifically those conditions blamed on viruses, such as AIDS and hepatitis.
