He has been paid!

Watched the whole talk now. This is the approach of the yogi - if you don't know something you experiment rather than looking t the "outside". And this in a sense is the key to the whole approach here. The "immune system" in a sense is how we define our selves from the inside - it is our sense of who we are. Attacks come from the outside - the surface. When we mistake ourselves for the "external" we loose our internal coherence, sense of self and coherence. Hence the use of the word "feeling"

[alanmccrindle]

only half way through watching - what is mind-blowing that he has just said is the shift from solving a medical problem from attacking some "invader" using "externally" administered drugs to upgrading the "internal" immune system so it registered the "problem" and sorted it out in a way that was more internally coherent with the system viability.

absolutely amazing - everyone should Kary more!

@ricci1007 The official 88,000 people ''infected'' with ''HIV'' is inflated estimate of a misnomer to start with. The syndrome occurs among blacks, gays and drug addicts, as always.  And then it is called ''AIDS''. So let me revise that: No ''AIDS'' among the general population. And there is not expected to be, as reported by expert from WHO.

[ricci1007]

@RJJNYC1 CM and EJ were not alone. Practically the entire British population over here silently denies ''HIV'' causing '' AIDS''. The rate of unwanted pregnancies is still abismal and the highest in EU, STDs continue to rise, sex tourism, pornography, prostitution. Yet................ no ''AIDS''. Or maybe there are all taking ARVs without disclosure and I have just been lucky living it up in Uganda for 7 years.

@RJJNYC1 You won't be losing any sleep over it I hope. Poor Google.

[ricci1007]

@RJJNYC1 Who confirmed that EJ died of ''AIDS''.? Assuming ''HIV'' tests detect specific proteins of ''HIV' the girl was never tested. Or results from coroner were never revealed. CD 4 count was unusually high. It would be wiser to conclude tha the girl died as a result of antibiotics. why do CM husband and son continue to test ''negative''?

[RJJNYC1]

@Th3oryOf3v3ryThing I'll read the Mullis paper if it's ever published, without pregidous.

@RJJNYC1

I'm happy to provide you with sources, but it wont let me post links here... So.... Do a simple google search (pubMed isn't the repository of all medical knowledge). Ssearch "Kary Mullis Anthrax" the first three links that come up explain the exciting new technique.

I do not believe you've even watched this talk, choosing only to comment from pregidous without listening to the ideas presented. I suggest you listen from 52:40 on, he explains why HIV researchers fail.
