| The antiviral properties of the medium-chain fatty acids abundant in coconut have been found to be so potent that they are now being investigated as a treatment for aids patients. Studies recently conducted in the Philippines have demonstrated that coconut oil does indeed reduce viral load in aids patients. In other studies demonstrating the antiviral potential of coconut against HIV, aids patients consumed 20 to 25 grams of lauric acid per day. |

 Targ began her career as a mainstream psychiatrist, but made her name in 1999 with two remarkable studies at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) in San Francisco, which tested the possibility of remote healing with end-stage aids patients. Targ spent months designing her trial. She and her partner, psychologist and retired hospital administrator Fred Sicher, sought out a homogeneous group of advanced aids patients with the same degree of illness, including the same T-cell counts and number of AIDS-defining illnesses. |

 Fear of AIDS diagnosis itself was a chronic stressor for aids patients. But so too, many felt, was what some researchers began to call "the stress of social homophobia," the enormous hostility toward gay lifestyles manifest in much of mainstream American culture. In his book And the Band Played On, AIDS activist Randy Shilts quoted American evangelist Jerry Falwell, saying of the thousands who were dying at the time of AIDS, "When you violate moral, health, and hygiene laws, you reap the whirlwind. You cannot shake your fist in God's face and get by with it. |

 What follows is supporting evidence for this hypothesis:
*¦ In a series of open trials conducted in Africa, these supplements were administered to aids patients. Trials began in an AIDS hospice in South Africa, where five out of six aids patients greatly improved. Problems cases that had extreme diarrhea developed secondary deficiencies and could not absorb adequate nutrients. Another initial small trial took place in a Kenyan clinic, where patients here were weak and passing into AIDS. They soon recovered their energy and are now in much better health. |

 The main question is why are doctors permitted and even encouraged to treat aids patients with drugs that kill their immune systems? Wouldn't it make more sense to help them build their immunity? These questions will need to be raised again and again if we want to tackle disease in general and AIDS-type illnesses specifically.
Summary: HIV, which consists of human DNA or RNA fragments, cannot be considered to be the cause of AIDS. |

| Central nervous system effects are the most common adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported with dronabinol in aids patients during clinical trials. The following ADRs were reported in 3% to 10% of patients: dizziness, euphoria, paranoid reaction, somnolence, and thinking abnormal. Less common CNS ADRs (i.e., occurring in 0.3% to 1% of patients) include depression, nightmares, speech difficulties, and tinnitus (Prod Info Marinol, 1999). No health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with the proper administration of designated therapeutic dosages. |

 A blunt, handsome woman with short-cropped white hair, Philipson pioneered the legal specialty of suing insurers for denying aids patients coverage for medical care in the 1980s. Back then, it was a branch of law that few lawyers had mastered, or indeed wanted any part of, because of a Supreme Court ruling that limited the amount the courts could award patients who sued their insurers for denial of coverage. "There was no pot of gold for the lawyer," says Philipson, "and most people don't have the money to pay you. You have to go to the courts to get paid. |

| One early (1986) grassroots volume for and by aids patients, for example, had this to say:
We believe that the AIDS virus particularly strikes individuals and groups who have been isolated by the dominant culture. ... It is this isolation, often internalized as self-hatred or lack of self-acceptance, which allows the AIDS virus to begin to incubate once it has entered the system. ... It is no coincidence that the rise of AIDS has to a large extent coincided with the recent upsurge of right-wing political and religious repression of gays. |
| This possibility in turn suggested that stress might be a terrible risk for the highly vulnerable immune systems of HIV-positive or aids patients, and should be avoided at all costs. But how could stress be avoided? The fateful diagnosis itself imposed an immediate stress on patients. The anthropologist Emily Martin tells the story of how one of her subjects found out his lover had tested HIV positive and then faced the difficult task of getting himself tested. |

| The HIV retrovirus cannot be found in any of the diseased tissues of aids patients. This fact alone should make anyone suspicious about the claim that HIV leads to the destruction of organs and system.
If HIV were capable of infecting T-cells or other parts of the immune system, then, as is the case with every other type of viral infections, the cell-free virus particles or virions would easily be detected in the bloodstream. |
| The cells of aids patients are consistently short of the amino acid cysteine and its precursor cystine, which may result from one or several of the causes mentioned before. Laboratory research has demonstrated that when amino acid depleted cells are given back the missing amino acids, these cells stop producing HIV particles because their DNA and RNA molecules are able to sustain their assembly line. |
| However, most aids patients are still male. Anything and everything that strongly abuses the body and depletes the immune system must be held responsible for causing illness, regardless of whether it is a stroke, cancer, or an AIDS disease. Emotional stress, insufficient nutrition, dehydration, sleep deprivation, alcohol, cigarettes, antibiotics, hard drugs, excessive sexual activity, etc., can all damage the immune system. A dormant piece of viral material such as HIV, on the other hand, can do no harm in a healthy body. |
| The lack of HIV test equipment in most parts of Africa compels doctors to diagnose prospective aids patients merely by symptoms, a very unreliable and unscientific practice. Yet the numbers of these cases are added to the overall "statistical evidence" that AIDS is still continuing to spread.
The soaring AIDS epidemic is a product of mass deception based on faulty science, unreliable AIDS tests, and a greedy pharmaceutical industry that does everything in its power to have unrestricted access to the mostly untapped profit potential of Third World populations. |
| Accordingly, anything that even remotely resembles immune deficiency plus HIV now counts as an AIDS disease, despite the fact that aids patients with Kaposi's sarcoma have been reported to have normal immune systems. It has been argued that wherever there is HIV, AIDS will be the consequence. However, this argument is heavily flawed. AIDS-like indigenous diseases existed long before the testing of antibodies for HIV was introduced. What is different today is that the old diseases are renamed and "become" AIDS diseases whenever HIV is found to be present as well. |

| Studies recently conducted in the Philippines have demonstrated that coconut oil does indeed reduce viral load in aids patients. In other studies demonstrating the antiviral potential of coconut against HIV, aids patients consumed 20 to 25 grams of lauric acid per day. Approximately 12 grams of lauric acid are provided in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 3 tablespoons of creamed coconut, Vi cup of canned whole coconut milk, or Vi cup of dried coconut meat.
Coconut oil also protects against heart disease and promotes weight loss. |

 Because the triple therapy appeared to be making a profound difference on mortality rates in aids patients, Elisabeth assumed that, this time, no one in either group would actually die. This meant she needed to change the result she was aiming for. In the new study, she was looking for whether distant healing could slow down the progression of AIDS. Could it result in fewer AIDS-defining illnesses, improved T-cell levels, less medical intervention, improved psychological well-being:1
Elisabeth's caution finally paid off. |

| In one successful study of aids patients who improved through remote healing, the forty healers involved in the study sent the healing to patients in San Francisco from locations all across the United States.14 Like electrical fields, magnetic fields decrease with distance. The magnetic and electrical effects were likely to be some aspect of the process, but not its central one. It was likely to be closer to a quantum field, possibly more akin to light. |

 That's why the "I" and "D" in AIDS stand for Immune Deficiency; as aids patients lose their T-cells and their immunity to disease drops, they are more susceptible to the kinds of invading organisms—opportunistic infections—that healthy immune systems easily fend off.
Studies like those conducted by Dr. Ironson are especially meaningful to physicians and biologists because they identify key biological markers of illness, as opposed to subjective measures such as the patient's level of depression, the number of doctor visits, and the dosage of medication required.

| Two careful studies of terminally ill aids patients by Elizabeth Targ, M.D., Ph.D., showed similar results. The patients in her experimental groups were offered remote healing by forty religious and spiritual healers. Some were evangelical Christians, some were traditional Catholics, some were Buddhists, some were independent faith healers; one was a Jewish kabbalist, another was a Lakota Sioux shaman, and another was a Chinese Qigong master. |
| June 1981,3 most aids patients died quickly and horribly Today there are some half-million people alive in the U.S., many in excellent health, who have been diagnosed with AIDS at some point in the previous twenty years.4 And under the headline "First Case of HIV Cure Reported," in November of 2005, doctors at London's Victoria Clinic announced that conclusive tests had shown that Andrew Stimpson, who had twice been tested positive for HIV infection, was now virus-free. DNA tests were used to confirm that there had been no mix-up in the samples. |

| She and her partner, psychologist and retired hospital administrator Fred Sicher, sought out a homogeneous group of advanced aids patients with the same degree of illness, including the same T-cell counts and number of AIDS-defining illnesses. Because they wished to test the effect of distant healing, and not any particular healing modality, they decided to recruit highly experienced, successful healers from diverse backgrounds who might represent an array of approaches. |
| AIDS patients under strict double-blind conditions. All healing was to be done remotely so that nothing, such as the presence of a healer or healing touch, could confound the results. Targ created a strict double-blind format: each healer received sealed packets with information about the patients to be healed, including their names, photos, and T-cell counts. Every other week, the healers were assigned a new patient and asked to hold an intention for the health and well-being of the patient an hour a day for six days, with alternate weeks off for rest. |

| During the height of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, she devised an ingenious, highly controlled pair of studies, in which some 40 remote healers across America were shown to improve the health of terminal aids patients, even though the healers had never met or been in contact with their patients.19
Even some of the most rudimentary mind-over-matter experiments have had tantalizing results. One of the first such studies involved attempts to influence a throw of dice. To date, 73 studies have examined the efforts of 2,500 people to influence more than 2. |
