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 />
