As expected, most <strong>of</strong> them were patients<br />

s u ffering from tuberculosis and because they<br />

react positive on "the tests for <strong>HIV</strong>" they are<br />

diagnosed as having <strong>AIDS</strong>. Only two <strong>of</strong> them<br />

could be seen as having clinical manifestations<br />

<strong>of</strong> a severe immunodeficiency <strong>different</strong> from that<br />

common to patients with tuberculosis.<br />

It was very distressing to find out that once such<br />

patients are diagnosed with <strong>AIDS</strong>, the orthodoxy<br />

health practitioners stop the treatment for tuberculosis<br />

and prescribe them only with antire t roviral<br />

medications.<br />

Currently, all these individuals are being treated<br />

with natural, nutritional, homeopathic or<br />

ayurvedic approaches. The treatments are<br />

supervised by highly qualified pr<strong>of</strong>essionals <strong>of</strong><br />

these holistic medicines, some <strong>of</strong> these pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />

are pr<strong>of</strong>essors at universities and<br />

schools <strong>of</strong> holistic medicines which are common<br />

in India.<br />

MEDIA COVERAGE<br />

There was an excellent media coverage! Prior to<br />

the conference several newspapers <strong>of</strong> India and<br />

Nepal announced the Nagpur <strong>AIDS</strong> dissident<br />

meeting. The day before the conference started<br />

t h e re was a three hour press conference with<br />

participation <strong>of</strong> 15 journalists from local and<br />

national media <strong>of</strong> India and Nepal. Dr. de<br />

Harven, Dr. Koehnlein and Dr. Giraldo explained<br />

to the media people all our scientific views upon<br />

<strong>AIDS</strong>.<br />

MEETING WITH <strong>AIDS</strong> PATIENTS<br />

On Saturday January 29 Dr. de Harven, Dr.<br />

Koehnlein, and Dr. Giraldo had the very unique<br />

experience <strong>of</strong> meeting with a group <strong>of</strong> 20 people<br />

labelled as "<strong>HIV</strong> positive" or who have or had<br />

been diagnosed as having <strong>AIDS</strong>. All are<br />

members <strong>of</strong> "The Nagpur <strong>HIV</strong>-positive People‚s<br />

Club".<br />

This meeting took place at the Academy for<br />

Nutrition Improvement, Nagpur. We had the<br />

opportunity <strong>of</strong> chatting with them and their<br />

families, listening to their testimonies, and read<br />

their medical records.<br />

"Coincidentally", at the same time <strong>of</strong> the dissident<br />

conference there was another meeting <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>AIDS</strong> orthodoxy in Nagpur organised by the<br />

Indian Academy <strong>of</strong> Medical Sciences.<br />

The main newspapers and magazines had<br />

headlines in front pages such as "Diverg e n t<br />

views on cause <strong>of</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> trigger controversy", "Is<br />

<strong>HIV</strong> the cause <strong>of</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> Two events organised in<br />

the city on Sunday have contradictory views to<br />

o ffer", "Dogmatic views <strong>of</strong> the west challenged<br />

at Academy <strong>of</strong> Nutrition Impro v e m e n t<br />

C o n f e rence on <strong>AIDS</strong>" , "Developed nations<br />

purposely creating panic about <strong>AIDS</strong>", "National<br />

<strong>AIDS</strong> Research Institute maintains position on<br />

<strong>HIV</strong> as cause <strong>of</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>", "Researchers demolish<br />

myths about <strong>AIDS</strong>’, ‘Hypothesis that <strong>HIV</strong> causes<br />

<strong>AIDS</strong>, a sham: Dr. de Harven’, ‘<strong>AIDS</strong> is neither<br />

infectious nor sexually transmitted, claims Dr.<br />

Giraldo’, ‘<strong>HIV</strong> theory is a big mistake, aver <strong>AIDS</strong><br />

re s e a rchers’, ‘An <strong>AIDS</strong> control project under<br />

f i re’, ‘<strong>AIDS</strong>: virulent myth’, ‘It isn’t <strong>HIV</strong> that<br />

causes <strong>AIDS</strong>’ ‘WHO adopts defensive stance<br />
