questioning and rethinking the orthodox HIV=AIDS theory
Courtesy Library of Congress I pledged a few months ago that I wasn’t going to give him any more attention, but AIDS drug cheerleader J Todd DeShong has outdone himself recently by declaring that intravenous vitamin C is more toxic and dangerous than the antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) used to treat “HIV”. I can’t resist…
Not surprisingly, one of the most common search terms for this blog is “resistance is fruitful” or resistanceisfruitful (no spaces). It’s good to know that the name has caught on with some folks. Now, that same domain name with the “.net” and “.org” extensions also point to this blog, so no matter how you…
I remember little else, until I was in post-op, waiting to wake up enough for them to allow Michael to join me. I wrote off the look in his face as general concern and my own grogginess. Only later did I learn that he had just had his own, first encounter with Doctor, who told him that “it didn’t look good”, that I “probably had lymphoma”, and that I “would probably need chemo”. He was so distraught that he wasn’t even able to relate this news to me until after I had left the hospital the next day.
I just got the call from the infectious disease clinic informing me that the chest x-ray showed my lungs are “extended and clear”, with no sign of tuberculosis. Now it’s time to settle down and get back to our regular programming: just being healthy. No more tests, no more fearmongering.
In a previous post, I focused on the good news about learning that I do not have cancer. After several weeks of being increasing led to believe that because they were unable to explain the cause for the lumps in my parotid gland, doctors thought I must have lymphoma. Once that possibility was ruled…
from my Facebook notes: Question World AIDS Day by Jonathan Barnett on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 at 4:45am To my well intentioned and thoughtful friends—especially my gay friends—who are promoting World AIDS Day today: There is nothing wrong at all with remembering friends and loved ones lost to AIDS, but please take off the…
I got the very good news this afternoon that the lumps in my jowl are not cancerous. I do not have words to describe the relief, and in fact, I’m not sure it has really sunk in yet. That’s how convincingly the doctors had led Michael and me to believe that I had some…
Kali and Bella are not impressed with the ER doctor’s compression bandage on my neck. I call it my hijab. I have sure been having second thoughts lately about publicly revealing so much about what’s going on with my health. It was pretty easy to write and blog when my health was improving and…
I’ve lost all patience with my current web hosting service, ixwebhosting.com. My website and email have been down more often than up for two days now, and they are still having a lot of problems. This isn’t the first time my blog has experienced technical problems with their hosting service, and based on reviews…
(photo by: JuanJ) I admit that I am an erratic blogger. When I started writing again a couple of years ago after a nearly decade-long break, there was a lot of pent-up inspiration to produce posts regularly. What exactly I wanted to write about has taken a few turns along the way as well,…

While much of the information on this site is no longer current, it represents almost a decade of my life. It was a period of considerable reflection and writing was my therapy.
I have moved on from that era and am now moving into what will undoubtedly be the last chapter of my life. My love for writing and telling stories-mine, as well as those of others-goes with me. Join me, if you will, at jondbarnett.com for the adventure.
