Unless the chemicals happen to be antiretroviral medications, in which case they get better.

Don't get me wrong, M.Ted. My kids don't eat artificial color (well, that's mostly my ex-wife's doing, but I agree with her), I used to own an organic orchard, and I think the alliance of Dow and Monsanto with the American "food" industry is nothing short of criminal. But any "theory" that says that HIV is "created in the body when the immune system has been severely compromised" is based on as much research as a "theory" that red blood cells are actually tiny red M&M's.

Little Hawk, I do believe that Roger and those other patients recovered from AIDS with a treatment regimen that included healthy living and avoiding artificial chemicals. But that does NOT mean that AIDS is caused by unhealthy living and artificial chemicals. As Mr. Spock would say, that is not logical.

You are correct that drug abusers don't take care of their bodies, and that there is a high incidence of AIDS among drug users. However, the incidence of AIDS is high only among intravenous drug users, not all drug users, and it is lower in areas where there are free needle exchange programs...even when the drug users don't take any better care of themselves. Why? Because they don't get the virus from being malnourished, they get it from injecting it into themselves with HIV-contaminated needles.

Try this: We all know that if you don't have an up-to-date antivirus program on your computer, you're running a big risk of being infected by a virus, worm, Trojan, or other nastyware. But do you know that you can run your computer 24 hours a day with NO firewalls and NO antivirus software, and yet have ZERO risk of ever having a computer virus? It's easy: just don't connect it to the Internet, don't connect to any other computer via modem, and don't put any disks into your drive unless they've been certified that day as virus-free. Same idea.

OK, I'm done.
