 ACSA'S AIDS ALERT             skip this alert and read article >

    The following article by Ms. Emma Ross, of AP, spells out the extent of the disastrous spread of AIDs / HIV, a virus of the immune system that deprives the body of its natural defenses.  ACSA believes that AIDs needs to be fought by education to help victims treat themselves and couples to avoid spreading the disease, lifestyle changes, BOLSTERING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM with Organic Foods, Extreme Vitamin Supplements, Detoxification Protocols and Stress Reduction, as well as using traditional AIDs medications (to which resistance is increasing in today's strains of AIDS). 

    At a 12% annual compounded growth rate in the spread of infection, which netted 5 million new cases in 2005 and 3 million deaths from the disease, that means the growth of HIV/AIDS will exceed Humanity's Birthrate within 100 Years. At that point it will be too late to do anything about: Humanity will cease to exist in less than 150 years, by 2155. The increasing number of long term survivors is at a rate of 40% increase, per year, but at some point, once the Birth Rate is exceeded by the AIDS deaths per year, the number of human beings to catch the disease will decline to the point where the only survivors will all be under the age of sexual activity, and many will be in-vitro infected and die within 5 years. At that point, only those capable of living with the disease and caring for the young, will live, a few million young persons at best. 

    At the present rate Humanity will be Economically Bankrupt within 25 years (680 Million People will have AIDS, about 10% of humanity, 600 million People will have died of it by then:  with 68 million new deaths each year, roughly equivalent to 1/5th the population of America.) The "Extinction Point" may actually accelerate the impending extinction to less than 75 years, if birth rate declines as a result.  It is the Economically Bankrupt Point, however, that will insure Extinction, since beyond that point, the population of non-infected persons will drop due to other factors, such as war, barbarianism, and the like.  Hopefully, the mechanism whereby retroviruses such as HIV enter the human bio-physiology will not develop to the point where it can be communicated by anything but open contact with human tissue through sexual or similar contact, or no one will survive it.  Unfortunately, for so long as we continue to rely upon pharmacology, and not develop strong enough immune systems to survive against such as HIV, such viruses will MUTATE to overcome the pharmacology and will eventually win.

    Note that one of the pioneers in curing AIDS/HIV, Dr. Gary Null in NYC, who has developed remarkable protocols that physicians around him are using to convert HIV+ infected individuals into HIV- NON-infected individuals, eliminating AIDS altogether from them, has been blacklisted at WEVD and WBIA Radio (Pacifica) by influence of none other than Ms. Sharon Percy Rockefeller, whose vote has allegedly blocked Dr. Null from being heard on Public Radio.  Note that Dr. Null has also fostered similar non-mainstream treatments which ARE effective against other diseases and infirmities.  Please Note that in our opinion Rockefeller's business interests and personal prejudices run contrary to AID's elimination, since it is purging society of what the Rockefellers' quietly are allegedly calling "undesirables" from Global Society (Gay, Minority and African Continent Blacks), and the balance are making Rockefeller Pharmaceutical Companies even wealthier by buying the conventional medicinal treatments, even though those are becoming increasingly expensive and unreliable in treating AIDS.  For more information on Gary Null, click here >

U.N.: HIV Epidemic Continues to Spread
By EMMA ROSS, AP Medical Writer Mon Nov 21, 6:47 AM ET

LONDON - The global HIV epidemic continues to expand, with more than 40 million people now estimated to have the

AIDS virus, but in some countries prevention efforts are finally starting to pay off, the
United Nations says.

AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since it was first recognized in 1981, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in history. An estimated 3.1 million people died from the virus last year and another 4.9 million people became infected, according to a U.N. update published Monday.

The deaths and new infection estimates were in line with those from last year, when the total number of people living with the virus was estimated at 39.4 million.

However, for the first time there is solid evidence that increased efforts to combat the disease over the last five years have led to fewer new infections in some places, said

UNAIDS chief Peter Piot.

Previously improvements had been seen in places such as Senegal, Uganda and Thailand, but those were rare exceptions.

"Now we have Kenya, several of the Caribbean countries and Zimbabwe with a decline," Piot said, adding that Zimbabwe is the first place in Southern Africa, the hardest-hit area, to show improvement.

These are all countries that have invested heavily in safe-sex campaigns and other prevention programs, with the result that prevalence of HIV among the young has declined.

"People are starting later with their first sexual intercourse, they are having fewer partners, there's more condom use," Piot said.

The epidemic also appears to be tapering off in other countries. "We see similar trends in countries in East Africa, but the evidence was not good enough to put in the report," he said.

The most dramatic drops in prevalence have been among pregnant women in urban Kenya, where in some areas the proportion of pregnant women infected plummeted from approximately 28 percent in 1999 to 9 percent in 2003.

In the Caribbean, declines are evident in Barbados, the Bahamas and Bermuda, Piot said.

In Zimbabwe HIV prevalence among pregnant women in the capital Harare has decreased from 35 percent in 1999 to 21 percent in 2004.

"I absolutely believe we are on a roll," added Dr. Jim Kim, HIV chief at the

World Health Organization. "Everyone is sort of jumping on the bandwagon. I think there's been a fundamental change, even in the past one year, in all the efforts in HIV."

There's a new energy, Kim said, and much of that comes from the recent availability of HIV treatment in the developing world.

About 1 million HIV patients in the developing world now are on treatment. While that is just a small fraction of the people needing treatment, the availability of drugs has meant that people see a point to getting tested for the virus, which is crucial for prevention efforts. About 300,000 deaths were avoided last year because of treatment, the report said.

"As much as possible, we've got to get that energy into prevention as well," Kim said.

So far this year the world has spent slightly more than $8 billion on tackling HIV in the developing world. That was a big increase from the $6 billion spent last year but was still far short of the need.

UNAIDS estimates that $9 billion will be spent next year but say $15 billion will be needed.

The epidemics continue to intensify in southern Africa. Growing epidemics are under way in Eastern Europe and in Central and East Asia. Five years ago, one in 10 new infections were in Asia. Today the number is one in four or five.

China, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam are facing significant increases. There are also alarming signs that Pakistan and Indonesia could be on the verge of serious epidemics, the report said.

Intravenous drug use and commercial sex are fueling the epidemic in Asia, where few countries are doing enough to inform people about the danger of such behavior, the report warned.

Worldwide, less than one in five people at risk of becoming infected with HIV has access to basic prevention services. Of people living with HIV only one in 10 has been tested and knows that he or she is infected.
