Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

Oh now i get it. Alpha gal epitope is immediately attacked by your anti bodies so Kary came up with the idea to attach epitope on pathogens so your anti bodies can attack the epitope-pathogen complex eg anthrax and epitope. This is better than your body taking the time to develop its own immunity to that pathogen.
Wow. You are really misinformed. Try actually reading the Mullis paper "On Aids and Global Warming". Here is an excerpt:
-----
This is in contrast to the current AIDS establishment’s “It’s the virus, stupid!” No experiments were ever done or even suggested to test the HIV hypothesis.
-----
Dr. Kary Mullis is a very outspoken critic of the HIV-AIDS hypothesis and he appears in numerous interviews across the net sharing those views.
But in the end, the key message from Mullis is that AIDS is a syndrome caused by a retrovirus. Which means he fundamentally disagrees with duesberg, and with 99.9% of the denialist mantra. Since HIS statement is consistent with HIV testing being effective, and treatment.
As for the proof HIV is the causal agent of AIDS. I gave it to you. It is up to you, to read the paper and understand. Start by pulling your head out of your ass & getting an education.
"Even Montagnier is now saying: "healthy organism can eliminate hiv in 2-3 weeks"" Lol. Lying by omission again. You must be another sockpuppet account for kookaid or reggieworth.
What is the rest of that statement? Oh... CAN. Not "Does in every case." And what happens to the rest of them? HIV infection. And what happens to most of those when left untreated? HIV disease, AIDS and death.
Your metaphor is moronic. We aren't talking fruits and grapes, we are talking kinds of grapes.
I see that you have still not gone to Mullis' OWN web site to read his OWN paper in which he states retroviridae are the cause of AIDS.
Let me help you since you are obviously an illiterate idiot. The title of the paper is "AIDS and GLOBAL WARMING" and here is a quote from his own paper "Regarding AIDS I have published a hypothesis wherein the Retroviridae in general, rather than a particular species, is the problem. This was published in Genetica 95:195-197, 1995."
it's unbelievable how far some people can go with nonsense. I love the way Mullis is talking, and just hope there are more scientists like him. As per what he says:"If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There is no such document."
Even Montagnier is now saying: "healthy organism can eliminate hiv in 2-3 weeks". Long live Kary Mullis:)
If you think this is amazing you should check out the newest stuff like the bioengineered viruses (made out of HIV-1 and Herpes simplex1 respectively as follows) that can *cure* x-linked adrenoleukodystrophy or the other ones that can *cure* metastatic melanoma (yeah, skin cancer) and at the same time heal the lesions on the liver and lungs.
me no scientist,but if an auto-immune system will eat them pig heart-valve molecules and anything they are attached to,doesn't that make it as much a weapon as a cure? just askin...
Not really because as he said alpha-gal epitope is not found in Human cells... So our auto-immune system has an excellent system that will only recognize foreign body and eats it

@Nousides and here we go again - easily verifiable? Show me one damn scientific paper PROVING that hiv is cause of aids. The problem is there are none, and this is the fundation on Mullis's "denial" for the hiv>aids hypothesis. Maybe you're not using google or what? :) You should change your nick for Nuisance. You get "death threats" from anyone? I believe you might be the one with well developed paranoia. Mullis is pure genius and doesn't have to "prove himself" to dummies
@Nousides you're having conversation with yourself or what?
I asked you to provide a link to the paper: 'PROVING that HIV is cause of aids'. Not 'proving that RETROVIRUSES are cause of HIV”, which partially can be thuth
Mullis had a hypothesis that AIDS is casuse by retroviruses OTHER THAN HIV. It's like asking: show me that you can make champagne from apples
and getting answer: it's proven that you can make it from fruit.
Not every retrovirus is HIV, just like not every fruit is grape:))
@Nousides Koch's postulates are not fulfilled by the HIV = AIDS hypothesis....I won't go into all four.
1. 1000's of HIV negative people die every year from AIDS defining diseases, you have to understand that there is a 100% correlation between HIV and AIDS simply because it is implied in the AIDS definition....interestingly, the HIV negative deaths have even lower CD4 counts
3. Only 1.5% of people who are HIV positive develop AIDS every year; and this is a very sick group of people as well
The raccoon spoke. Good evening, doctor, it said. I said something back, I dont remember what, probably, Hello. The next thing I remember, it was early in the morning. I was walking along a road uphill from my house.
...at the far end of the path, under a fir tree, there was something glowing. I pointed my flashlight at it anyhow. It only made it whiter where the beam landed. It seemed to be a raccoon. I wasnt frightened. Later, I wondered if it could have been a hologram, projected from God knows where.
Quite sad about Mullis, but just as sad that people down-thumbed the comments about Mullis' AIDS denying.

Talk was too short and shallow. I guess he was just appealing to the mass.
Does anyone think abusing this could mean big trouble? Using this frequently would cause our bodies to be overrun by the same similar antibodies all the time. I wonder how this would affect our normal flora as well.
Also, I noticed he only talked about staph, and anthracis, but what about viruses? I think it would benefit the virus more if this were to be used for them...
holyscythe- I don't see why this kind of treatment would be any more harmful than current antibiotics, less so if anything since if i understand rightly it would be targeted at quite specific types of cell. viruses are totally different to bacteria and its unlikely there will ever be one treatment that can combat both of them.
exactly. This is using our already adapt immune system instead of supplementing it with that of a fungus. To put it simply for those who don't understand, it would be like walking through a cave and having someone there to shine a light for us to see, but we already have the eyes and legs to guide us.
Antibiotics is the equivalent to sending someone else in for us and hoping they can see better in the dark
pigs need that epitope, bacteria does not, so evemtually bacteria will mutate to create a hydrolase that will cleave the carrier, or cleave the epitope, or have a way to shield it so its not recognized by the immune cells anymore, or suppress the apetite of the immune cells that have been activated by the epitope, there are plenty of ways to escape. "single target" drug therapy is not the way to go
"'single target' drug therapy is not the way to go"
Assuming you're right, do you have a better solution?
Don't thousands of people facing certain death from resistant strains of bacteria stand to have their lives returned to them due to this method of drug therapy, despite your claim that eventually the bacteria will evolve to make it ineffective? Isn't that alone a good reason to develop this therapy, assuming a known therapy doesn't have *more* promise with the same cost/energy input?
Of course, you're absolutely right. There's no reason to save anyone's life (or improve the conditions thereof). We should just stop practicing medicine entirely. Let's start with you, happybirthdayricha.
you know what else was wishful liberal thinking, to learn how to fly... to go to space, to feed the world by using nitrogen. Plz stop being close minded, if you don't trust science then live in the wilderness.
Excellent talk. Isn't stuff like this supposed to be the next big shift after antibiotics. Since antibiotics are becoming less effective against resistant bacterial strains.
Alpha-gal epitodes are not destroyed before its linker tag whatever bacteria in body???? Given that humans are many times larger than the mice, how much of alpha-gal will be needed to combat the bacteria?
Sound interesting but the scientific explanation was no enough in the talk.
the amount needed is probably relative to the size of the infection. and I would imagine that this would be less effective for more widespread infections like when a patient is septic or their lymph node system is infected.
....but I AM sick of hearing/reading reports of breakthroughs....and then you never hear about them again. Will that be the case with this? Why isn't this in the mainstream news?
Not true. The press appreciates the drama inherent in medical discoveries--they're always very quick to report them, too.
The BAD part of this idea (perhaps. I'm not TRYING to dismiss it), is that having EXTREME immune reactions--that could occur from the apparent instantaneous HUGE presence of foreign protein throughout the body--is JUST as deadly, or moreso, than an infection itself.
Really? He's not an MD, nor has the immune system been his area of expertise. It's not worth arguing here, but, so far, almost ALL such types of approaches to medical treatment have in fact been a disappointment....unfortunately.
I know, there WILL be breakthroughs with these types of approaches....no doubt. But....real breakthroughs will likely come for truly NEW and SURPRISING information--the immune system STILL is understood VERY imperfectly.....more
Furthermore, you can't pass up an idea just because it MIGHT not work--you try it anyhow, even though there are potentially some big problems....typically you're RIGHT, and the problems you anticipated (and ones you didn't) spell failure for your idea. It's still worth it because SOMETIMES it works (or you learn something valuable even though it doesn't work).
Finally, journals are FILLED with potential treatments that worked GREAT with mice--and which ended as utter failures with people.....
Still, I don't mean to disparage his ideas or his work--I'm trying to disparage irrational over-enthusiasm for ideas that haven't really been tested yet....enthusiasm which sometimes scientists themselves are most guilty of prematurely promoting.
Aye, I actually wondered 'what about cytokine storms' while watching this.
Though, don't these cascades only occur when the body isn't familiar with a disease? In that case there wouldn't be much wrong with sticking that stuff on disease so your body will treat them as if they're familiar with it.
My only point was that there are always unanticipated "complications" involved in these kinds of approaches. The idea "works" when ALL such complications are overcome. That no human tests have been made shows that NONE of the anticipated (and UNanticipated) complications have been overcome

Talk was too short and shallow. I guess he was just appealing to the mass.
Does anyone think abusing this could mean big trouble? Using this frequently would cause our bodies to be overrun by the same similar antibodies all the time. I wonder how this would affect our normal flora as well.
Also, I noticed he only talked about staph, and anthracis, but what about viruses? I think it would benefit the virus more if this were to be used for them...

falsafa 2 years ago
holyscythe- I don't see why this kind of treatment would be any more harmful than current antibiotics, less so if anything since if i understand rightly it would be targeted at quite specific types of cell. viruses are totally different to bacteria and its unlikely there will ever be one treatment that can combat both of them.

exactly. This is using our already adapt immune system instead of supplementing it with that of a fungus. To put it simply for those who don't understand, it would be like walking through a cave and having someone there to shine a light for us to see, but we already have the eyes and legs to guide us.
Antibiotics is the equivalent to sending someone else in for us and hoping they can see better in the dark

pigs need that epitope, bacteria does not, so evemtually bacteria will mutate to create a hydrolase that will cleave the carrier, or cleave the epitope, or have a way to shield it so its not recognized by the immune cells anymore, or suppress the apetite of the immune cells that have been activated by the epitope, there are plenty of ways to escape. "single target" drug therapy is not the way to go
BGSoccerMagic 2 years ago
"'single target' drug therapy is not the way to go"
Assuming you're right, do you have a better solution?
Don't thousands of people facing certain death from resistant strains of bacteria stand to have their lives returned to them due to this method of drug therapy, despite your claim that eventually the bacteria will evolve to make it ineffective? Isn't that alone a good reason to develop this therapy, assuming a known therapy doesn't have *more* promise with the same cost/energy input?

Alpha-gal epitodes are not destroyed before its linker tag whatever bacteria in body???? Given that humans are many times larger than the mice, how much of alpha-gal will be needed to combat the bacteria?
Sound interesting but the scientific explanation was no enough in the talk.

the amount needed is probably relative to the size of the infection. and I would imagine that this would be less effective for more widespread infections like when a patient is septic or their lymph node system is infected.

hmm, maybe because mainstream news media generates more attention by focusing on drama and trivialities than on reality.
mermadeinheaven 2 years ago 3
Not true. The press appreciates the drama inherent in medical discoveries--they're always very quick to report them, too.
The BAD part of this idea (perhaps. I'm not TRYING to dismiss it), is that having EXTREME immune reactions--that could occur from the apparent instantaneous HUGE presence of foreign protein throughout the body--is JUST as deadly, or moreso, than an infection itself.
Look up "cytokine storm" to see what I mean.

sudiin 2 years ago
Really? He's not an MD, nor has the immune system been his area of expertise. It's not worth arguing here, but, so far, almost ALL such types of approaches to medical treatment have in fact been a disappointment....unfortunately.
I know, there WILL be breakthroughs with these types of approaches....no doubt. But....real breakthroughs will likely come for truly NEW and SURPRISING information--the immune system STILL is understood VERY imperfectly.....more

Furthermore, you can't pass up an idea just because it MIGHT not work--you try it anyhow, even though there are potentially some big problems....typically you're RIGHT, and the problems you anticipated (and ones you didn't) spell failure for your idea. It's still worth it because SOMETIMES it works (or you learn something valuable even though it doesn't work).

Finally, journals are FILLED with potential treatments that worked GREAT with mice--and which ended as utter failures with people.....
Still, I don't mean to disparage his ideas or his work--I'm trying to disparage irrational over-enthusiasm for ideas that haven't really been tested yet....enthusiasm which sometimes scientists themselves are most guilty of prematurely promoting.
GetMeThere1 2 years ago
Aye, I actually wondered 'what about cytokine storms' while watching this.
Though, don't these cascades only occur when the body isn't familiar with a disease? In that case there wouldn't be much wrong with sticking that stuff on disease so your body will treat them as if they're familiar with it.
BaileysBeads 2 years ago
My only point was that there are always unanticipated "complications" involved in these kinds of approaches. The idea "works" when ALL such complications are overcome. That no human tests have been made shows that NONE of the anticipated (and UNanticipated) complications have been overcome
