Customer Reviews

I take a somewhat contrary view to Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Morgan

In reading Anthony Sanchez and Mike Morgan's reviews of this book, an educated person must ask themselves if they are still living in America. Mr. Sanchez (who states he works for the government in one of his other reviews of a book on Sobuko puzzles and holds himself out as a child protection worker) lashes out at Christine Maggiore as only a government lacky can ... by following the dogma of yet another goverment lacky despite the myopic lunacy of the findings. In referring people to the flatly biased and poorly researched LA Times article entitled "A Mother's Denial A Child's Death," Mr. Sanchez would have people blindly place their fate in the hands of the government on issues such as child health care rather than the 3 pediatricians that Christine had consulted in the cough-turned-ear infection that afflicted her little girl. By Mr. Sanchez standards, he would ensure that any pregnant woman who tests positive for HIV subject their newborns to a dangerous and toxic regimine of failed cancer chemotherapy drugs as a 'protective measure.' Mr. Sanchez blasts Christine Maggiore for not changing her views on HIV despite the death of her daughter, and for continuing to claim that Eliza Jane did not, in fact, die of AIDS. This is probably because there is not a shred of scientific evidence (unless you take the now-full-of-holes coroner's report as scientific evidence) that EJ died of AIDS. No positive HIV test, no actual signs of the pneumonia that she allegedly died from, a high T cell count ... it goes on and on. The only 'evidence' that EJ died of AIDS is that over a month into the investigation into her death, somebody leaked to the coroner's office that Christine Maggiore was the leading authority on the dissident side of the HIV/AIDS debate. Boom. EJ is now an AIDS victim. How convenient. Thank you Dr. Ribe, you hack. For those of you who are not yet aware of it, the HIV test does not reliably predict the presence of HIV. Don't believe me, though ... read the label of the HIV test. Further, there are over 70 different conditions that would cause a positive on an HIV test ... this would be of little consequence to the likes of Mr. Sanchez. Off to the forced chemical induction camps, you HIV-ridden aberations! I actually feel sorry for Mr. Sanchez. I was of the same mind as Mr. Sanchez a scant 2 years ago. Someone close to me tested positive for HIV, and I took the opportunity to read such enlightening books as "Inventing the AIDS Virus" (Dr. Peter Duesberg, Nobel nominated cancer researcher) and Christine Maggiore's thoughtful book "What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong." Unlike the vitriolic and scientifically baseless positions staked out by the likes of flat earthers such as Sanchez and Morgan, the books by Duesberg and Maggiore provide a fair and balanced, scientifically based look at the AIDS/HIV hypothesis, and the authors ask only that the rules of science apply to the study of HIV and it's connection to AIDS.

christine is fabulous

well I'm convinced. Christine Maggiore came and taught an alternative AIDS class at my high school and it was one of the most interesting experiences in a class I've ever had. We didn't just talk about AIDS but about how the pharmaceutical companies are running our country and how your doctors get corrupted by the money. I know it sounds crazy but it seriously makes a lot of sense when you learn all about it. Christine is really smart and this book is very well written. I highly recommended if you have an open mind and are interested in learning a different point of view then the norm. An excellent book.

Critical thinking that challenges the received wisdom

It is hard to believe that the thousands or millions of "experts" who sustain the HIV=AIDS theory might be wrong. But that doesn't make it impossible. The fact is that today's "knowledge" about AIDS is built on a foundation of evidence that is itself highly questionable. Remove the underlying building blocks and the whole edifice crumbles. If you are interested in critical, independent thinking, read this book. Christine is not -- as some reviewers here seem to believe -- a lone, crazy voice. She does not claim to be a medical expert: what she does is painstakingly collect, and document, evidence from the many, many experts who challenge the opinion that HIV=AIDS, and the death sentence that usually implies. Those who support her do not do so on the evidence of this one introductory book, but on the masses of evidence she has continued to collect and disseminate. Unfortunately, the odds are not in her favor: a (relatively) few voluntary dissidents supported only by the meager income from their publications and private donations, pitted against the combined forces of the pharmaceutical lobby, government bodies, political forces, and established AIDS and other health and charity organizations (in a movie, of course, it would all be over in 90 minutes...).The wider implications of what Christine has to say are deeply disturbing: disturbing for those of us who have lost a loved-one to "AIDS" as well as to the institutions that depend on it. No wonder many people's automatic reaction is to dismiss her as a lunatic.She has taken on a herculean task, but is starting to be heard in the press and in AIDS circles throughout the world. President Mbeki was among the first to publicly resist the AIDS lobby and insist on at least listening to alternative views, and now there is increased dissent in India. (And no, President Mbeki is not simply trying to "save his money" and committing genocide by refusing to buy drugs for his people that the pharmaceutical companies are so generously offering cheap...)This book is slight in size, but a good introduction to the dissidents' views. For more up-to-date information you should visit her website and join her mailing list.I profoundly believe that some day Christine and the other AIDS dissidents will be vindicated. If ordinary people will only have the courage to listen to the debate and make up their own minds.

Sure to make a skeptic of you.

Before I read this book I hadn't given much thought as to whether HIV causes AIDS. Of course it does. Isn't that what everybody says? But I guarantee this book will make a skeptic of you. One by one, in straightforward, easy-to-understand language and with excellent scholarship, Maggiore demolishes the assumptions that underlie the whole AIDS industry. Her prose is very reasonable, even understated, yet her case is extraordinarily strong. If your mind is even the slightest bit open, this book will change the way you think.

Exposing the "AIDS" myth with facts!

Finally a book that gives you the facts about "AIDS" and HIV. Even if you don't believe a word of what Christine presents in the book, you must admit that, it is very odd that, none of this information is being discussed on Primetime T.V., Radio and "News" papers.Christine presents the truth and it might hurt and perhaps even anger some people, but nevertheless, it is still the truth as many people see and experience every day. Christine shows in her book that, HIV has never been proven to cause "AIDS" or any other disease, but the public is being told over and over again that it is. Christine lays the facts on the table with extensive research and documentation to back up her claims. When you read, you might feel a sense of betrayel by the medical industry and media. That is what I felt, first time reading this book. Christine tells it like it is. The statistics that "AIDS" is not the epidemic compared to other diseases and accidents. That "AIDS" is not a disease, but a diagnose of being tested positive for HIV antibodies and having one or more of 28 old illnesses. Christine shows that, contrary to popular belief, the HIV test is NOT for the virus, but for antibodies, which they claim are specific to HIV, but is not.The only critisism I have of the book is, I wish Christine would have spent a little more time on explaing the early cases of "AIDS" and the correlation between drug use and "AIDS". Nevertheless, the book brings the pure facts to the public in lay terms and in only 64 pages, that there isnt any excuse not to read it.Go out and get a copy, and learn from Christine that, "AIDS" is not a death sentence, but a wake up call from a degenative lifestyle caused by recreational, prescription drugs, poor nutrition, stress and other environmental contaminations.
