HOME PAGE and "ABOUT US" information

Welcome to the NEW "Rethinking AIDS" Exposed Blog

"We have to fight science with science. And, unlike the opposition, we have to be 100% scientifically accurate with every single word we write if we want to be believed. Being right is only 3% of the answer and the remaining 97% is politics. But without the 3% the race doesn't start...."

"I've seen firsthand the stunning, overwhelming success of the AIDS dissident movement"

This is the "Rethinking AIDS" Exposed Blog. This blog is now focused on revealing the crisis in the AIDS dissident movement vis-a-vis the people and issues behind the "Rethinking AIDS" organization and other groups of AIDS dissidents that have hindered progress for the dissident movement in general and in particular, for the "Perth Group" of researchers, for years. As the new name, "'Rethinking AIDS' Exposed", implies, we are working to expose the organization known as "Rethinking AIDS", its leaders, its partisans, its affiliated groups of AIDS dissidents and all of their activities throughout the history of the AIDS dissident movement.

PLEASE NOTE: This blog is NOT geared toward lay people. If you are a lay person, especially one who has been diagnosed "HIV positive", and you are still new to the AIDS dissident controversy in general, we urge you to have your physician(s) read the material that is on the Perth Group's web site, beginning with these eight frequently asked questions and answers. The owner of this "'Rethinking AIDS' Exposed" forum supports the Perth Group in all of their efforts to engage in critical discussion of the issues that have divided the AIDS dissident movement. Like the Perth Group, we also encourage those who have professional scientific or academic affiliations who may have comments or criticisms of the Perth Group's work to submit their criticisms to the various peer-reviewed scientific journals which have published the Perth Group's scientific papers.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**: This blog is run by Rod Knoll, a veteran AIDS dissident and long-time supporter of the Perth Group whose biographical information appears at the bottom of this message and along the upper left hand side of this screen. It is important to stress that, with the exception of all web pages that are part of the "theperthgroup.com" domain name, I do NOT endorse or advocate any "advice", information or content that is found on any other web sites or internet venues. This non-endorsement applies to other web sites or venues that are dissident in origin and venues that are run by other supporters of the Perth Group. Other exceptions are when I post a specific link to a particular web page, and I clearly state endorsement of, or agreement with, the content found on that page.

**SPECIAL UPDATE**: It is no secret that there have been many "positive" dissidents who have died or become ill. Of course, every scientifically literate dissident is keenly aware that there is no proof that any such "positive" dissident who has died has ever been infected with "HIV" (just as there is no proof that ANY "positive" person, living or dead, has ever been infected with "HIV"). However, it should be stressed that there is also no evidence that we could find in any account from any dissident or orthodox source that any such dissident who HAS died has ever followed an approach to addressing his or her "positivity" that is aligned with the Perth Group's suggestions which they make in their papers and articles. These suggestions made by the Perth Group are, of course, always supported by published data.

In addition, it is important to note that, unlike other AIDS dissident venues, we do NOT advocate making ANY changes or deletions to any treatment regimen(s) that your doctor has prescribed without the constant input from, and consultation with, your attending physician(s)! We do NOT advocate taking alternative therapies in the absence of any input from a physician. The very essence of so-called "HIV positivity" and "AIDS" mandates that anyone who has been diagnosed "positive" should maintain a constant, honest and open relationship with one's attending physician, since monitoring one's cellular redox, which cannot be done without the help of a doctor, appears to be vital to survival of those so diagnosed. For more insights into these issues, please see THIS MESSAGE and be sure to read all the links contained in that message.

Also see THIS THREAD for yet another example of the confusion and problems that occur when lay people who are "positive" dissidents decide to create treatment strategies on their own based upon their own limited understanding of technical issues and without the involvement and participation of doctors, most of whom also lack an understanding of the technical issues.
