Some of my AIDS dissident friends reject outright the tests used by mainstream AIDS (AIDStream) doctors to evaluate ‘HIV-positive’ patients and to determine if and when to start treating them with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), more commonly known as the “AIDS cocktail” of drugs. While I agree with them that we can’t know…
I now understand better why the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) issued their “Action Alert” last week about the (still unproven) imminent loss of intravenous vitamin C therapy if we don’t all send a loud and strident enough message to the evil FDA. That appeal from ANH that I wrote about last week was…
Thank gawd for friends willing to help me get back on the road! Several caring close friends and family have asked me to remove my last post, mostly out of their concern for my own health and well-being. What good is having friends if I’m not willing to trust them to see what I…
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…
If you Google “intravenous vitamin c fda” for the last 24 hours, you’ll see that an “action alert” from the Alliance for Natural Health has spawned dozens of copy cat “reports” on blogs and websites across the Internet in less than a day. Strategically, this may be a great way to put the FDA…
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…
This site is no longer updated, but kept online for reference. You should not see this popup notice on future visits.
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.
