What Else Is Found Common Amongst Hiv/aids Victims

WHAT ELSE IS FOUND COMMON AMONGST HIV/AIDS VICTIMS

 

 

  After having given treatment to 5 different types of HIV/AIDS patients, besides presence of HIV and low body resistance, another important thing has been observed common in all these patients.  Before I reveal it just now, let us go through first  for the brief case histories so as to clear my viewpoint strongly acceptable to all the concerned.

 

CASE I

       

  Mr. M.S. 25-year-old married male, truck driver, a resident of Sunam, Punjab.  The patient before contracting the disease, was plying a truck on Punjab-Delhi-Bombay route.  He frequented brothels of Kamatipura of Bombay or elsewhere enroute and thus acquired some kind of STD (syphilis or Gonorrhea) vide OPD ticket No. 439 of PGIMER, Chandigarh dated 27.11.91.  The patient must have taken routine course of Penicillin injections and other associated drugs as the treatment in order to get ridof his STD problem.  He subsequently suffered from some common problems which ultimately led to be diagnosed as immunothrombocytopennia with sessile type  of Condylomata acuminate plus recurrent Herpes progenitalis.

 

The blood report for HIV was found negative both by Elisa and Western Blot tests done on 13.12.91.  His VDRL test was also found nonreactive.  However, in

mid-January 1992 blood sample of the patient was found positive for HIV-I by Elisa test alone.  Later, on 12.2.92 the blood report was found negative by Eliisa test vide Cr. No. 2536-89.

 

  The patient was brought to me in a critical stage on 4.5.92.  Symptomatically, there was profuse (about mouth full) bleeding from gums daily specially in the morning.  He was also getting high grade (104 degrees Fahrenhheit) fever on and off, which would come down with the useof  drugs viz. Sporidex, Wysolone, and Crosin.  At times, injections of Vetenisol, Calcium sandose and Dextrose would also be given I.V.  He was also given Homoeopathic medicines along with above noted  drugs for a brief period.  As a result, so long the patient was taking both the systems of medicines, the temperature never roe beyond 102 degrees Fahrenheit.  However, the patient discontinued homoeopathic treatment, reasons best known to his attendant.  Later on, sometimes in autumn of 1992 he succumbed to the fatal disease.

 

  The point to be noted here in this case is; that the patient died within one year after contracting STD vis-à-vis HIV infection and treatment taken thereof.

 

CASE-II

 

  Mr. A.S., 27-year-old married male, resident of a nearby village in U.T. Chandigarh.  The patient was working as an electrician in Dubai for some years.  There he contracted syphilis some time in 1991 through sexual contact with prostitutes.   Although, the patient got himself treated with a course of Penicillin and other associated drugs, he subsequently suffered from malarial fever.  The fever was controlled by some strong injections and tablets.   As a result, the patient started passing blood in his stool.

  According to the rules prevalent in that country, every foreigner was liable to  undergo HIV test once in 3 years.   He too had to undergo this task second time  of f  6 years.  He was found HIV positive and deported to India.

  After coming here in Chandigarh,  the patient got himself verified for his being a HIV positive case from PGIMER Chandigarh.  He took 15 injections from a private physician –1 injection on alternate day and found himself still a HIV positive case at the end of treatment on the basis of blood test done from PGIMER, Chandigarh.

 

  When the patient consulted me on 9.11.92, he presented his disease like this; bleeding per anus at the end of every evacuation which were at times loose, as the main symptom.  There were some other vague symptoms also, which got okayed with the first prescription of mine. The hard labour and regular treatment made the patient symptoms free.  But, I am in this opinion that he might still  be a HIV positive case.  This is because he had stopped the treatment as soon as he became symptoms free.  The patient would have not reported to me about his being symptoms free case, had he not suffered from barking type cough.  The cough developed as a consequence of malaria.  Although, I had already instructed the patient not to take medicines of any other systems so long I am (Homoeopath) available for treatment for malaria.  In fact, according to homoeopathic concept of the disease and the cure; return of old and suppressed symptom of malaria was indeed a positive sign for the cure.  Anyhow, I  directed the patient to get his blood tested for HIV from PGIMER, Chandigarh in order to know that the patient was still a sero positive case.

 

  From the details given above, it can be concluded that Mr. A.S. responded favourably to the timely employment of homoeopathic medicines and when the body's immunity (vitality) was not downed to the extent of irreversible stage ostensibly due to non-intake of immunosuppressive drugs.

 

CASE III

 

  Mr. B.S. 29-year-old married male, a resident of a nearby village of district Karnal,  Haryana.  The patient contracted Gonorrhoeal infection as a result of sexual contact with a prostitute at Hissar in Haryana some time in February/March 1993.   He was treated with 5 injections of Penicillin plus some other tablets – one injection on alternate day.

 

  Since September 1993, the patient developed Condylomata acuminate in the prepuce (outer covering of penis).   He had some vague symptoms also viz; deep brown discoloration on the sides of the wings of the nostrils, gastritis, prostaturia while straining for stool, night pollution, dandruff, dry cough, spurting of urine while coughing, chronic coryza associated with choked nostril at night, swelling of the eyelids, watering from the eyes,  pain in the nape of the neck and in the lumbosacral area of vertebral column, in precordium and belly, anxiety and disturbed sleep since early age.  He was lean and thin and seemed to be of tubercular constitution.

O/E:  Besides Condylomata acuminate, there was a painful bluish nodule below the mandible on the left side of external throat for the last one year which would suppurate and heal repeatedly.

 

  The patient consulted me on 30.12.93, while he was still going to skin and STD Clinic at PGIMER, Chandigarh every week, where he would receive T.C.A. cauterization and Podo as an external application for condylomata acuminate.  Except Fortisol for 7 days in the first prescription, no other medicine of any kind was prescribed to him between 18.11.93 to 22.12.93; the time during which he was going to PGIMER, Chandigarh.  However, there was a mention of Candidial balanoposthitis on the outpatient ticket of the patient.

 

  Most of the above noted symptoms either got vanished or lessened with the use of homoeopathic medicines.   During the treatment a cord like hard but painless swelling developed in his left mid-axillary line which disappeared within a fortnight time and without any change in the prescription.

 

  Although Condylomata acuminate still existed, the patient had now stopped going to PGIMER, Chandigarh for cauterization.  Unlike before, the prepuce (foreskin) would now move easily.

 

  As narrated to me the patient regularly took the SOS medicine given to him for his gastritis till all got finished in 5-6 days and that too without actual need.  As a result or something else Mr. B.S. developed fever, which was brought down with the use of allopathic drugs.   Thereafter lymph nodes of inguinal region got enlarged and the patient had also started feeling cutting pain in the basal part of the urethra and painful erections.  Meanwhile Mr. B.S. developed Candidial balanoposthitis (white fungus growth) and applied some Ayurvedic ointment.  As a result the patient felt anxiety, pain in the chest and loose motions.  Although, appearance of the old but suppressed symptom of cutting pain at the basal part of urethra was indeed a good sign according to homoeopathic concept of cure, since cutting pain had also appeared prior to the commencement of gonorrhoeal discharge, but enlargement of inguinal lymph nodes was certainly a bad omen.  Whether or not the patient got gonorrhoeal discharge after the last prescription made on 29.3.94 is not yet known, as the patient did not turn up since then.  However, I received a postcard dated 23.12.94 from the patient in which he sought the address of Haemophilic sero-positive Ahuja brothers of New Delhi.  Later, on 19.6.95 I came to know from Skin and STD Clinic that Mr. B.S. had succumbed to his fatal disease in May 95 – as reported by the father of the deceased to the Deptt's personnel.

 

CASE IV

 

  Mr. B.S. 30-year-old married male, a resident of nearby village in district Ludhiana, Punjab.   The patient had worked at Dubai and was now plying his own truck on various highway routes of the country.  As in Dubai, the patient was still visiting brothels of metropolitan cities, but in fact never contracted any kind of STD.  The history of the case revealed that the patient was operated for Hydrocele in 1987.  In August/September 1990, he suffered from sore throat and ulcerations, skin eruptions and as a consequence septic condition.  He was given two injections of Penicillin –one on alternate day plus some tablets and ointment for external use.

 

  Thereafter the patient started getting fever on and off, which would at times come to normal without any medicine but most of the time with the help of allopathic medicines.

 

  As reported by the patient; once he planned to go abroad.  In order to know his blood  condition, he simply got his blood tested at National Institute of Communicable Disease, New Delhi, some time in  Sept./Oct. 1993.  He was found HIV positive case by Elisa test alone.  The patient consulted a Professor of Medicine at Ludhiana, Punjab, who prescribed him a course of AZT(Zidovudine) 100 tablets for a period of 35 days.  As a result, the patient did not get fever but he was still a HIV carrier on the basis of Elisa and Western Blot tests (or T4 and T8) count and ratio were found to be normal.  Although the patient did not bring these test reports but his version was taken true on the basis of personal verification.

 

  In the beginning the patient did not give picture of any disease.  On my persistent interrogation he presented some vague symptoms viz. pain and cracking in knees for the last 3-4 months, redness of the eyes and occasional night sweats.  The patient was a habitual taker of about 2.5 grams of Opium husk  (Dode) for the  last 2 years,  crude tobacco (Jarda) and about half liter of liquor daily for  the last 20 years.

 

  The patient in fact consulted me first time on 14.3.94, not for the sake of the treatment of above noted symptoms and habits but mainly to make him free from HIV.  When he consulted me second time on 6.4.94, he was almost free from above noted symptoms.  He had also stopped taking opium husk but not the crude tobacco and liquor.  He was taking liquor once in 5-6 days.  The patient reported that during treatment once he got it treated with allopathic drugs.  The patient after receiving medicines did not turn up till date.

       N.B.:  Above is the presentation of a typical HIV positive child victim as per discharge note of PGIMER, Chandigarh

 

Symptomaticaly; the patient showed traces of white milky coating in the center only.  Pigeon chest (Rickets), Rattling cough on and off, more in the morning hours when patient was still in the bed.  Low appetite.  Desire for juicy things, milk mixed with tea during fever.  The child would take a little water 3-4 times a day

 

  The father narrated the history of the present condition like this:

 

  At the age of 1.1/2 months the child got fever.   He was admitted to a hospital where he was transfused O-Rh. –ve blood, whereas the child's blood  group was O-Rh.+ve.  As a result he became restless.  With the help of some injections and tablets the child survived and was discharged from hospital after a week.  Thereafter he got loose motions and temperature for about 3-4 months until he was treated with the help of Gentamycin and  Penicillin injectons plus some tablets and steam inhalation.

 

  The child later on started getting Pneumonic attacks in the following winter.  Meanwhile Montoux test was found positive.  The child was given  a course of Rifamcin for about 3-4 months.  When the child was 2-1/2 years old, he was diagnosed Tubercular and admitted at C.M.C. Ludhiana and given antitubercular treatment.  After 3-4 months the child was again admitted to another hospital for 15 days and given antitubecular treatment.

 

When the child was about 3-1/2 years of age the family moved to Canada.  There he was diagnosed HIV +ve case.  The doctors suspected that the donor who had donated O-Rh.-ve blood to the child, might have been HIV carrier.  They prescribed AZT (Zidovudine) and some other drugs for a month.  As a result the child gained 5 kg weight in 6 months time.  The family then returned to India.  Within 4-5 days of their arrival, the child got attack of Broncho pneumonia and loose motions after  3 months.   He was then brought to admission in PGIMER, Chandigarh.

 

  The child was given homoeopathic treatment during the admission at PGIMER, Chandigarh.  After 10 days stay, he was discharged from the hospital.  Since the parents wanted to take him to their village, medicines for about 15 days were given on this assurance from the father that he would come to report about the condition of his son in time.  The discharge note of the hospital too had a mention of review on 21.6.94 but the father did not come to report till date.

 

ANALYSIS

 

  On analysing details of the above mentioned cases, the first thing which has been observed by me is; lack of cooperation either by the victims or their attendants while treating diseases like HIV/AIDS by homoeopathy.  Although they had been taking costly allopathic medicines for a long time without any improvement rather deterioration in their body condition.  They did not keep the same patience when they started homoeopathic treatment, that too despite appreciable improvement inn one or other aspect of the HIV/AIDS.   Even if the patient becomes symptoms free, it could  be called miracle in context to HIV/AIDS.   One could be made free from HIV sooner or later provided he/she continues the treatment and follows the instructions of the attending physician properly, which is most important not only for the curative point of view but also from the future relapses and prevention in case of other who have not yet been infected but may likely to become infected in the future.  For this, at least this much time is required as was taken in the development of existing state of the disease.

 

  Now, the most important thing found common amongst all the HIV/AIDS victims is the mode of the treatment received by all the victims at one or other time during the development of the HIV/AIDS.  The treatment taken by them is; B-LACTAM antibiotics and the principal drug found common in all the prescription was Penicillin.  Use of cortico steroids certainly acted fuel to the fire owing to their immuno deficiency may also be iatrogenic, for example as a result of treatment with Cortico-steroids or other immunosuppressive drug". (vide Davidson's Principle and Practice of Medicine, 16th Edition).

 

  Further,  "In many sero-positive cases from high risk groups screened (by the local sero surveillance center of the region; the PGIMER Chandigarh) exact source could  not be delineated as these patients had never been out of Punjab." (vide THREAT OF AIDS  IN PUNJAB – The Tribune, Chandigarh, dated 29th Oct.  1991)

 

  My observations (on the basis of above described cases) are:  Penicillin or its

_______________________________________________________________

 

equivalent antibiotic drugs at some stage of the  disease have certainly played some

 

unknown but vital role in making the conditions favourable for the growth, invasion 

 

and spread of HIV in the body of the victims.

 

  Now, the question arises.  How, the question arises.  How is the Penicillin or its equivalent drugs and cortico steroids are responsible for the HIV growth in the body?  The answer is in fact the matter of actual research work.  The researchers should find the relation between these two things.  Until then it can only be postulated that the entry of the Penicillin or its equivalent drugs must be creating such conditions in the body which are not only favourable for the growth of HIV but also of other opportunistic organisms viz. viruses, bacteria and parasites.  Although I can support my viewpoint by enumerating various other similar examples based on my clinical observations.  At this juncture, I do not want to mention them here but at the same time, would like to mention them here but at the same time, would certainly like to do so  if somebody concerned inn this field asks me to elaborate them in near future.

 

  It would be proper to add that the history of AIDS relates to the discovery of Penicillin made some time in (40s or 50s).  According to  PANOS( A London based voluntary and human rights organization, publication – ‘The Third World Epidemic repercussion of the Fear of AIDS':  AIDS started some time in 50s or 60s but the symptoms of the second epidemic AIDS or HIV infection became visible in 1980-81.  Moreover, it is a well-known fact that antibiotics primarily help in arresting the growth of infective organisms particularly the bacteria but secondarily these are definitely lowering body's resistance (immunity).  As a result, the person becomes susceptible to subsequent infections and relapses.

 

  Why researchers working on HIV/AIDS have failed to achieve even an iota of success in knowing fully the nature of HIV vis-à-vis cure/control of AIDS despite spending millions of dollars, energy, and time?  This is because investigators have focussed their all attention towards the outcome of some internal body disorder for getting HIV growth only, completely overlooking basic concept of the disease mechanism.

 

  William Boyd M.D., the great Pathologist has a mention in his ‘Text book of Pathology': "But we must admit however unwillingly that we seldom or never really

know the cause of any thing.  Many beautiful ideas have been slain by ugly fact.  We merely know a constant association with one thing always following another.  We say

Tubercle bacillus is the cause of Tuberculosis.  That is merely of saying that bacillus is associated with a constant type of lesion; it is no explanation of how the lesions are produced by the bacillus.  Nor does it explain why some persons and animals are susceptible to the infection, while others are immune…"

 

  In other words we can say; prior to the development of these infective agents, something ‘else' happens to the body.  In context of AIDS we can say that body's immunity is weakened first and HIV growth follows afterwards.  The day we accept this view of the disease concept, not only the mystery of HIV/AIDS but also that of other non genetic incurable diseases such as Cancer etc. could be solved.

 

  What the HIV/AIDS researchers and experts have contributed to the mankind till date other than fear Psychosis; that the HIV/AIDS is not a curable disease, since there is no treatment for this.  They did not even give a second thought to the basic concept of origin of life as well as fragile and innocent nature of HIV before declaring it the cause of AIDS.  After all HIV is not a recent discovery.  It was very much known for a long time as one of the Retro viruses.  Moreover, it is not a single entity, since it has several types and strains.  Can all be made responsible for creating AIDS conditions?  If the disease is yes, then does it fit to the principles of the disease.  If the answer is no, then what ‘else' is responsible for AIDS?

 

  HIV is like any other opportunistic organism which develops in the body having low body immunity.   Still we say that HIV is the cause for the low body immunity and in turn AIDS.  It  is just to make ignorant and gullible masses understandable but not the persons who are truth seekers and investigators in real sense.

 

  Those who believe in the Nature's principles and consider HIV/AIDS as the natural disease or nature's punishment to mankind for the wrongs done, then it can be said; the nature cannot be so cruel if it does not provide cure.  If it is a man created disease, even then there ought to be definite cure.

 

  It is a fact that negative opinion (antagonistic approach) spreads more readily like a wild fire than the truth (protagonistic approach).  Similar things happened in the case of HIV.  The proposition of HIV/AIDS put forward by Robert Gallo of USA and Montagnier of France has now reached to every nook and corner but the truth spoken by Peter Duesberg; a professor of Virology Deptt.  At University of California, Berkley, has not even reached to these researches of HIV/AIDS.

 

  Another pertinent point on which I would like to draw the attention of the HIV/AIDS Researchers; if the criteria for declaring a person HIV +ve is the positive Elisa and Western blot tests, the same tests if found negative in a HIV/AIDS patient after the treatment, must be taken as the criteria for declaring him/her free from HIV.  But according to Dr. D.P. Rastogi, Director, Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, New Delhi; "The western authorities are not accepting their claim of making HIV +ve patients free from HIV on the basis of above said criteria."  The patients were treated by the Bombay's unit of C.C.R.H., New Delhi.  Dr. Rastogi further adds that the International authorities suggest some other tests, which they say; are at present being used for the confirmation of HIV presence in the blood by the western countries.  Let the Director, National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) throw light on this controversy.

 

  Further, it is quite clear that Elisa and Western blot tests which are presently being conducted to know whether a person is infected with HIV or not by the various Sero Surveillance Centers of India are both indirect tests, since these only show the antibodies titre against HIV, not the actual presence of HIV in the blood.  Moreover, none is absolutely free from error.  For example – Western blot, which is considered confirmatory test for HIV presence, has the reliability of 94% to 96% i.e. having 4  to 6% error.   Aren't these figures sufficient enough for the false sero positivity or negativity at many times?

 

  I would emphasize on the relapses of the HIV/AIDS patients, who have not only become asymptomatic but virus free also by the treatment of any system of medicine,  that they must not resort to such mode of treatment for any disease in future which

__________________________________________________________________

 

was responsible for creating favourable environment for the growth and proliferation

 

of HIV and other opportunistic organisms in the body.  In other words: they must not 

____________________________________________________________________

 

be given immuno suppressive drugs at any cost, otherwise, fatal outcome is certain.

 

 

  The reality is that we are now in such a situation from where no one likes to listen anything against anything against the false but well established concept of HIV/AIDS.  Lest it may be either due to lack of truth seekers or vested interests, who have spread their business tentacles over the poor and developing nations.  Few years ago, not a single case of HIV/AIDS was detected but now it is being said that by 2000 A.D. the number of such cases could go to one crore or more in the Asian countries alone.   Still, if it is taken true then the most important reason could be the indiscriminate use

____________________________________________________________________

 

of antibiotics and corticosteroids both (the immuno supressive drugs) in these

 

developing countries of Indian subcontinent and elsewhere.   

 

  Millions of dollars are received as loan in the name of Research and Control of AIDS.  But the AIDS is becoming like a household  commodity in each passing day and the money received from WHO is either being utilised in luxuries of the persons who may have not even seen the HIV/AIDS's patients, what to talk of treatment/ cure/control by them or, in the propagation and spread of the AIDS.  The pity of the common man and the poor countries is; that these persons concerned with AIDS have accepted every thing in toto whatever is being thrusted on them by the clever persons of developed nations.  It is highly surprising that not a single Virologist, Pathologist or Medical personnel from the developing countries particularly that of Indian subcontinent has come forward to challenge and rectify the concept of HIV/AIDS till date.

 

  Last but not the least, I would certainly have a mention about the treatment given to the above noted HIV/AIDS patients and the observations gathered thereof in the form of suggestions/proposals.  The same were sent to various concerned Govt. Deptts. of India some times in Jul./Aug. 1993.  None other except Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi, acknowledged my contribution made till date.  The ICMR has recently asked me to submit the details of the homoeopathic drugs which I intend to use for the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients.
