Ambien, hair and Ash -sea gallery

Question:

Hi every one. Week 32 shot done this week. It feels good to be in the 30’s with just 16 more shots to go. I know 16 is still alot, but it is way better than 36 left to go. I feel accomplished this week. I have slept for 5 nights in a row with no ambien, only elavil (which I took before tx anyway). It is amazing the clarity I feel. I am still loosing things and forgetting stuff but nowhere near as bad as while taking ambien. I had to stop, I was getting blackouts more often than not. And I thought I had the worst case of brainfog going. With only 5 nights under my belt I feel much much clearer. I can hold a conversation on the phone easier. A friend says my eyes look clearer and less grey. My doc gave me a script for sonata. I have not yet tried it, I will if I need to. I’ve been tokin before bed. Funny, it used to be that I couldn’t toke before bed it would get my mind zipping around an unable to settle down to rest. Maybe the weed I have has better sleeping properties. I just don’t know why I am able to sleep now but I am greatfull. Hair yes, that is doing better also. I am still losing some but not like before. I  have it cut so that it is not touching my shoulders….It used to be quite long. I’m using a tea tree oil shampoo. The shampoo smells bad but it seems to be doing a fair job at saving strands. And it even looks slightly shiny now. Weight loss; Well that part is not working so well, I lost 4 more pounds..down to 104 from 118…I was shocked when I got on the scale at the docs. I thought he would reduce my dosage because I am below the 110lb cuttoff for my dosage. I think he missed that part of info. . . .good, because I don’t want to reduce dosage. I want to kill this fucker. I know I must work at gaining that weight back. I have been quite creative throughout treatment, it has been an inspiration to keep going. I also notice that CJ and greyhackles have been quite creative on tx. Elmo mentioned that he too had creative juices flowing while on tx. Kathy is interested in her watercolors. Russ played his banjo. There are probably some of you who have not mentioned their art work also. I do believe we have at least the beginnings of a common ash-sea theme. I propose that we create an online gallery of ash-sea art-work. I will maintain it if anyone would like to do it. I think it would be a very interesting group of work….Interested? I think of you all often throughout my day. I hope everyone is well, or at least smiling occaisionally. Peace, Mary Ann

Yep, you’re getting there Mary Ann.  My weight constantly fell too while on tx.  Sadly, all of it is back 6 months post tx.  I just wanted maybe half back.  Oh well.  Maybe that will actually help your cause as lower body masses do better statistically.  I think you are right about wanting to keep that riba dose up.  Glad you’re sleeping better.  Kill that Dragon!

I’m not loosing wieght on purpose, but I am aware that the less weight I have the  more riba for body mass. I held onto my 24 week viral load test till week 30. So at weeks 30 I am still undetectable. I could certainly use some weight back. I ventured to the ocean the other day. I actually was feeling well enough to go into the water, my body tired out pretty quick. But when I was walking back in to shore a wave took me down. I absolutely could not get up! ugh. Someone was there to hold onto me, he couldn’t get me up because the wave was pulling too hard, but he did hold onto me. Extremelly embarressing, but funny. My knees and shins are all cut up. Maybe a few pounds would have helped me out. lol Thanks Don MYE

Great dog story Juanita. I will certainly be more carefull at the ocean. I really don’t need to be having that much excitement very often in this condition. But it has been nice to get out a bit. I hope you are hanging in there, and have a smile every now and again. Peace, Mary Ann

Response:

Every epidemic disease is now renamed 'AIDS' under the Bangui Definition.

Question:

Where AIDS is diagnosed clinically, large numbers of AIDS patients test negative for HIV.

So, enough HIV tests had been done to get an idea how many clinically diagnosed AIDS patients were HIV negative. As no HIV testing is required in Africa we have no idea how many AIDS cases there are HIV positive (De Cock, 1991; Gilks, 1991; Widy-Wirski, 1988).

But in the next sentence, not enough HIV tests had been done to get an idea how many patients were HIV positive. Either enough tests had been done or they hadn’t.  You can’t have it both ways. Perhaps the agenda of attacking African AIDS statistics was more important to the author than truth and logical consistency. "I didn’t do it, nobody saw me, you can’t prove a thing." — Bart Simpson — David Canzi

Response:

Every epidemic disease is now renamed ‘AIDS’ under the Bangui Definition. Mortalities (non natural) in S.A. remain at the same 2.2% P.A. that they were BEFORE AIDS. Either every other disease in the region vanished overnight or ‘AIDS’ is simply the old diseases with a new name. You decide. In Africa, the continent supposedly being decimated by HIV, HIV tests are rarely ever done, so there the idea that all patients with AIDS are infected with HIV is based entirely on supposition. At a WHO conference in the Central African Republic in 1985, U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) introduced the "Bangui Definition" of AIDS in Africa. The CDC officials later explained, "The definition was reached by consensus, based mostly on the delegates’ experience in treating AIDS patients. It has proven a useful tool in determining the extent of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, especially in areas where no testing is available. It’s major components were prolonged fevers (for a month or more), weight loss of 10% or greater, and prolonged diarrhea…"(McCormick, 1996). Where AIDS is diagnosed clinically, large numbers of AIDS patients test negative for HIV. As no HIV testing is required in Africa we have no idea how many AIDS cases there are HIV positive (De ####, 1991; Gilks, 1991; Widy-Wirski, 1988). _______ Other conditions common in underprivileged and impoverished communities that are known to cause false positive results are tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis and leprosy (Burke, 1993; Challakeree, 1993; Johnson, 1998; Kashala, 1994; MacKenzie,1992; Meyer, 1987). In fact, these are the primary health threats in Africa; several million cases of tuberculosis and malaria are reported in Africa each year – more than all the AIDS cases reported in Africa since 1982 (WHO, 1998)*.

I’d appreciate that practitioner info Elmo.  I don’t want to be a guinea pig, but I am also not ready to give up on killing the dragon.  Of course, I would not take part in any study that didn’t provide me with all of the tx information up front.  I can another year of tx if I have a reasonable expectation of success.  (Reminds me of a tx study on new antimalarial drugs when I was in the Peace Corps.  The local docs used a ‘control group’ of 20 malaria patients that got no tx at all.  Any guesses on their outcome?   Their deaths were considered a normal consequence of the disease.  Something that I, personally, would like to avoid.)

Myth of 'AIDS' in Africa

I received this through the FAIR Foundation newsletter.

Response:

Is AIDS Devastating Africa? According to the 1999 World Health Organization (WHO) report, the total number of actual diagnosed AIDS cases on the African continent is about equal to the total for AIDS in America even though Africa, with its 650 million people, has more than two times the population of the USA. (61) Africa is often cited as a worst case example of what could happen in America despite figures that demonstrate that 99.5% of Africans do not have AIDS, and among Africans who test HIV positive, 97% do not have AIDS. (62) Unlike in the United States, AIDS in Africa may be diagnosed based on four clinical symptoms — fever, involuntary loss of 10% of normal body weight, persistent cough, and diarrhea — and HIV tests are not required. (63) The four clinical AIDS symptoms are identical to those associated with conditions that run rampant on the African continent such as malaria, tuberculosis, parasitic infections, the effects of malnutrition, and unsanitary drinking and bathing water. These symptoms are the result of poverty and other problems that have troubled Africa and other developing areas of the world for many decades. The idea that AIDS originated in Africa remains popular although there has never been scientific or epidemiological evidence to substantiate this notion. News reports suggesting that HIV began in Africa as Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) are based on elaborate speculation about species-jumping viruses rather than reliable evidence. SIV induces only flu like symptoms in some experimental laboratory monkeys and does not cause any of the 29 official AIDS-defining illnesses. Unlike HIV infection which is said to cause illness only years after exposure and despite the presence of protective antibodies, SIV will cause illness within days of infection or not at all, and wild monkeys retain SIV antibodies throughout their lives without ever becoming ill. Only monkeys in unnatural circumstances — lab animals with undeveloped immune systems who are injected with large quantities of SIV — become ill. (65) In a recent attempt to advance the hypothesis of an SIV/HIV connection, researchers used the results of nonspecific antibody tests to claim that three chimpanzees captured in West Africa had been infected with HIV/SIV through sexual transmission. Efforts to isolate actual virus from the animals revealed that two of the three chimps had no virus, while the researchers admitted that the virus found in the one was not even closely related to HIV. Their report also failed to explain why the "infected" animals did not transmit HIV/SIV to any of the 150 other chimps living in the colony where they were kept, or why their mates and offspring did not test positive. (66) While Africa is the frequent subject of dramatic media reports, actual numbers of diagnosed AIDS cases on the continent are relatively unremarkable. For example, 1981 through 1999 cumulative AIDS cases for South Africa, the new epicenter of AIDS, total just 12,825. (67) Wednesday November 25, 1998 Kenya Slow to Face Up to AIDS Scourge by Rosalind Russell NAIROBI, KENYA (Reuters) – According to U.N. estimates, a Kenyan dies of AIDS every three minutes… Unfounded estimates, rather than unprotected sex, are responsible for the alarming number of AIDS cases said to occur in Africa. United Nations’ AIDS estimates were cited as the inspiration for a recent news report claiming "a Kenyan dies of AIDS every three minutes." (68) If Kenyans were dying at this rate, there would be more than twice as many dead Kenyans in just one year than have ever been actually diagnosed with AIDS in the entire period of time known as the AIDS epidemic. In 1987, the WHO estimated there were 1 million HIV positives in Uganda, the nation then considered the epicenter of AIDS. Ten years later, WHO estimates for Uganda remained unchanged at 1 million HIV positives while the total of actual AIDS cases through 1999 are less than 55,000 in this country of more than 20 million people. (69) AIDS is not, as many believe, Africa’s primary health threat; several million cases of tuberculosis and malaria are reported each year in Africa while total AIDS cases on the continent for the entire AIDS epidemic hover just above one-half million. For example, in 1996 there were 170,000 cases of tuberculosis reported in Ethiopia and less than 850 cases of AIDS; South Africa’s tuberculosis cases topped 91,000 compared to 729 diagnosed cases of AIDS. In fact, AIDS is not the leading cause of illness or death in any African country. (70) Because of the high incidence of exposure to malaria, tuberculosis and other diseases that produce false positive results on HIV tests, many mainstream scientists question the validity of HIV testing in Africa.

Old diseases, new name

Question:

Every epidemic disease is now renamed ‘AIDS’ under the Bangui Definition.

Officials are human and sometimes get things wrong. However, the fact that they are sometimes wrong does not mean that they are always wrong. Even if the Bangui Definition is wrong it could still be true that HIV causes AIDS.

Response:

"Even if the Bangui Definition is wrong it could still be true that HIV causes AIDS." True. It could also be true that the tooth fairy causes ‘AIDS’ but science is based on proof and logic not ‘possibility’.

Due to the transplant unit suggestion that my pcr status be checked early instead of at six months post treatment due to the continual and bloody annoying itching I am experiencing, my consultant rang me today as I had asked his secretary if he he would due to my failure to ascertain just why the liver unit had suggested an early test and it’s relevance to my status. Anyway, the test came back clear so heres hoping that it stays the same six months hence. Apparently he is sure that I am still stage A cirrhotic and compensated so there should be no rush unless things change.

news:c37a0i$25bmf2$1@ID-137389.news.uni-berlin.de… THOSE 400,000 SMOKING "VICTIMS" LIVE LONGER THAN THE REST OF US! Preliminary report By Rosalind B. Marimont For years the anti-tobacco crusaders, from Drs. Koop and Kessler to President Clinton, have claimed that "cigarette smoking is the greatest cause of preventable or premature deaths, causing 400,000 deaths a year, a number greater than auto accidents, homicide, suicide, and various other causes of death combined." They have used this statement to brand tobacco public health enemy number 1, and to justify huge amounts of money, time, and attention to the war on smoking, while all but ignoring alcohol and drug abuse. Incredibly, analysis of the ages of the 400K supposed deaths computed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) SAMMEC (Smoking Attributable Mortality, Morbidity and Economic Costs) program shows that tobacco is not a major health threat at all – the supposed victims did not die early! * THE SMOKING "VICTIMS" LIVED LONGER THAN THE REST OF US, BY ABOUT 2 YEARS – 71.9 vs. 70. * OVER 70,000, or about 17%, DIED "PREMATURELY" AT AGES GREATER THAN 85. * ONLY 1900, OR FEWER THAN O.5 % OF THE SMOKING "VICTIMS" DIED AT AGES LESS THAN 35, WHILE 143.000, OR 8% OF THE REST OF US DIED AT AGES LESS THAN 35. If so many of the smoking victims are old, and so few young, and if, on the average, they live longer than the rest of us, how are their deaths "premature"? According to the technical definition used by SAMMEC, any "smoking related" death is considered premature. There is no upper age limit to the computation. These astonishing numbers, which totally demolish the main argument of the anti-smoking movement, are the result of my analysis of the SAMMEC age distribution computations for the years 1990-1994, provided, at my request, by the Office of Smoking and Health (OSH) of the CDC. For comparison with other deaths, I used 1992 mortality statistics of the National Center for Health Statistics. On the other hand, the deaths slighted in the 400K statements are premature. For example, the average ages at death of motor accident victims was 39, of suicides 45, and of homicide victims 32, compared to 70 for the general population. These non-smoking deaths total about 98000, of which about 50% are under 35, and are largely alcohol and drug related. The SAMMEC methodology has been criticized by many epidemiologists, statisticians, and all purpose general applied mathematicians like me on technical grounds, which are usually not comprehensible to non-specialists. But these age numbers are easy to understand – How is tobacco the number one killer, when its "victims" live longer than the rest of us? Rosalind B.

Refute WHAT??  You are a Bigot I can not refute that, and I really do not care to try.  You prove that with every word you post. You can quote all you like from the Sunday comics if you like, selectively people can find what they want or cut it out of the whole, and make it look like anything they like. Doesn’t make it true, and when one person points at another and calls them names, when they themselves are doing the same thing by doing that.  What is there to refute?  Well the Jews don’t teach what you so called exposed, and I really do not care what your posting or what you say they said.  They are not here to argue, you go to a Christian NG and hide from all their News groups to post this stuff.  All the more reason to dismiss you and your bigoted reasons.  You as visible as a light on a dark street. Like I said, if you want to prove something go to their newsgroup and post, so they can answer your accusations.  You can cut the cross linking also.

There are many diverse laws regarding the wine that a Jew makes for a non-Jew, for the purpose of selling it to Jewish consumers. In certain instances, even double seals and a lock are of no avail.

The stupid laws are a proof where many "religious" people waste their time thinking that their observances make them followers of God’s law while their labors are in vain. Many Christians follow the Jewish example and believe the same, missing the point just like the Jews. They "waste their times and are upset over many things while one thing is asked for." Shan

Nowadays the ordinary wine of a non-Jew, or Jewish wine that has been touched by a non-Jew, is, according to the opinion of some authorities, forbidden only for drinking purposes, but not forbidden to derive any benefit from it. Therefore, we are permitted to take non-Jewish wine in payment of a debt due us, for it is equivalent to saving it from a loss. The same law applies to a case, when we have violated the law and have purchased wine from them. But it is forbidden in the first instance to buy wine from them in order to make a profit by it. Other authorities are lenient even as regards the latter case, but it is best to follow the stricter opinion. 2. It is permissible to make a bath out of non-Jewish wine for a sick person although he is not critically ill. 3. If kosher wine that has been boiled until its quantity was reduced by evaporation, it touched by a non-Jew, it may be used even for the purpose of drinking it. Wine, into which spices have been put, as long as it still retains the name wine and has not been boiled, becomes forbidden when touched by a non-Jew. 4. Victuals mixed with wine, the presence of which is not discernable, even if the victuals have not yet been brought to a boiling point, do not become unfit for use if they have been touched by a non-Jew. 5. If wine is adulterated with six parts of water, the wine becomes nullified and does not become forbidden by the touch of a non-Jew. However, raisin wine, that is, when water is poured upon the raisins, is considered as true wine. 6. If water is poured upon the kernels of pressed grapes, or upon the lees of wine, as long as it is improved for the purpose of drinking by doing so, it becomes forbidden when touched by a non-Jew. 7. If some wine has been extracted from the grapes pressed in a tank, be it even only a small quantity, or if some wine has been taken out of it into a vessel, the entire contents of the tank is legally called wine, and it becomes forbidden by the touch of a non-Jew even if only the kernels or the husks have been touched. It is, therefore, forbidden to make use of the tanks of grapes found in the house of a non-Jew, for it is likely that the non-Jew has already extracted some wine from it. It is forbidden to let a non-Jew press grapes in a tank, even if such a tank is provided with a stopper. 8. We must also be careful not to let a non-Jew remove the kernels and the husks from the wine-press, even after we have already extracted the first and second wine from it, as they might still be moist with wine. 9. If a non-Jew has poured water into wine with the intention of diluting it, we are not allowed to drink from it. But if he had not intended to dilute it, or even it if is only doubtful whether he has intended to do so, its use is permissible. 10. If vinegar is made out of kosher wine, and it is so strong that it seethes when poured upon the ground, it no longer becomes forbidden by the touch of a non-Jew. But if vinegar is made out of non-Jewish wine, it always remains forbidden. 11. Brandy that is made out of non-Jewish wine, or of kernels and husks or of lees, is considered like the wine itself. But brandy made out of kosher wine, is no longer rendered unfit for use by the touch of a non-Jew. 12. It has become a prevailing custom to permit the use of Tartaric acid, since it is not tasteful. 13. If a non-Jew touches wine by means of something else (not a part of his body), or if it is touched through his power, a rabbi should be consulted as to the fitness of the wine. 14. When we send wine through a non-Jew, we must take the precaution of doubly sealing the mouth or the faucet of the vessel. 15. There are many diverse laws regarding the wine that a Jew makes for a non-Jew, for the purpose of selling it to Jewish consumers. In certain instances, even double seals and a lock are of no avail. It is necessary to consult an ordained rabbi as to what procedure to follow in such a case. The scrupulous should avoid the use of such wine. 16. Regarding the vessels that have contained non-Jewish wine, if they are of the kind that one ordinarily used for keeping wine, but temporarily, nor have they contained the wine for twenty-four hours, whether the vessels are of leather skins, wood, glass, stone, or metal, as long as they are not lined with pitch, they should be rinsed well with water three times, and then they may be used.... <END Do you adherents of Christendom still think the "Observant Jew" views you as his equal "spiritual brother" as the false teaching of a "Judeo-Christian Alliance" tries to perpetuate?

Acts 10:28 :: King James Version (KJV) And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
