• HIV and my dear friend

    I mentioned in my last post that I frequently get messages from people, asking about something I’ve shared, or sharing their own story. A few days ago, I received just such an email from a person I’ve never met, but who I’ve come to know fairly well online, and we continued the exchange through…

  • Join me on my journey

    Today is Valentine’s Day, and I am sitting in a motel room in Wichita, Kansas, pondering: how do I dare ask friends, family and strangers to give me money so I can continue to experiment with alternative health therapies? The painful answer is:  I have no choice, but to try. I left KC at…

  • Just another tease

    Here’s another short outtake from the pre-show walkthrough that John Grosso and I had in a G+ Hangout On Air (HOA) earlier this week for tomorrow evening’s Rainbow Show. Live stream begins at 7 pm CST.     Please drop in to view the show live, and ask questions via the comment stream on YouTube or Google+….

  • Hang out with me on Friday

    Remember when Google+ was launched more than a year ago to compete in the social networking arena with giants like Facebook? You don’t?  Well, you’re not alone. Despite our love/hate relationship with Facebook, few of us who had grown accustomed to that place could find the time and energy to embrace yet another site…

  • Latest surrogate markers

    Some readers have asked what effect the ARVs are having on my CD4 and PCR (“viral load”) markers. I’ve updated the charts I’ve kept since 1998 with the latest results, up through July 24, 2012. You can also find these and other medical records by clicking on the “attachments” tab at the top of…

  • Marco Ruggiero vindicated

    I just got word that the Rector of the University of Firenze has vindicated Marco Ruggiero of all charges of improper conduct. I reported on this controversy in a couple of earlier posts (here and here). Anonymous and out-of-control AIDS drug apologists initiated an online smear campaign to discredit Ruggiero’s research efforts. Fortunately, calmer…

  • Doing fine

    I know, I know… it’s been more than two months since I’ve blogged, but that doesn’t mean something’s wrong. Oh, there was that nasty summer head cold a couple of weeks ago, but otherwise I’m doing fine. I’m not ready yet to publicize what I’m doing medically, or what the results are. I’m trying…

  • Dear Momma

    Dear Momma,

    I’ve been thinking about you so much since you’ve been here. Yes, I thought about you a lot when you were in Colorado, too. Or in a pickup truck and travel trailer with Poppa. Or living in that incredible home you and he built “on the hill”—El Shadmir. I’m even recalling memories from Colby and the farm.

    You know, when Poppa was dying, I remember promising him that we would do everything possible to make sure you were ok. That you would live as good, happy and healthy life as we could possibly manage, and that if you ran out of money, we’d even make sure you get through that. I don’t know how many of the other sibs had a similar conversation and/or commitment, but I think it was most of us. He was just sure no one else knew you well enough—like him—to be up to the job.
