Scientists Uncover How HIV Hides Inside Cells Study says protein helps virus conceal itself from body's defenses read about it here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_62884.html (this page is no longer avaiable) Also, something that has to do with the HIV's ability to get hidden from our natural defence system (this, although, a not so up-to-date news but, still, a very important one): http://www.amfar.org/cgi-bin/iowa/td/feature/record.html?record=118 Once, I had posted an article concerning the way HIV thwarts our natural defence. Now, and fortunatelly, I've found updated news about the same subject  :Structure Of Protein That Mutates DNA Of The AIDS Virus HIV-1determined By U Of M Researchers http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/98105.php http://www.bio-medicine.org/medicine-news-1/U...AIDS-virus-HIV-1-12376-1/ http://www.cbs.umn.edu/BMBB/faculty/Matsuo.H.shtml http://www.physorg.com/news122744303.html |

Polymerase fusion, poly-nucleotide inhibitors, heat and polymer drugs.
I believe it has become apparent to me after seeing years and years of articles all promising cures, but delivering little we need a major change of strategies. That change needs to be a strategy to destroy all critical structures inside HIV. I am talking about drugs(polymers) capable of total destruction of HIV from the inside out. However, all this would need to be achieved without being too toxic to the body, therefore a certain amount of rNA key matching would be required I'd imagine. HIV is like other viruses which are seemingly impossible to rid of the body even if very low levels of infection can be achieved with existing drugs. Not all viruses particles or hidden code inside cells can eliminated with current treatments. I think scientists need a really, low down multiple basic methods to destroy all HIV in the body. I figure the surest way to destroy HIV particles is by having drugs easily capable of finding their way inside the virus and polymerizing the rNA "Poly-nucleotides" deep inside the virus capsid with the tighest bonds possible to those regions. Even better if enough heat could be produced from the chemical reaction inside the virus to help destroy it's function. I think of these polymers like mixing epoxy resins. Like epoxy resin, one part would be the rNA of the virus and the other part would be the man-made drugs which strongly react with relatively unstable rNA. Perhaps if getting inside the virus is too hard or impossible drugs would have to work inside the cells..a lot less preferable I'd think. I'm not sure if that will make sense to everyone or if I worded that correctly. If that can't stop HIV survive, replication and evolution then I can't imagine what could! Any input from the scientists of fightaids@home? |

Concerning an earlier post I made on sound being able to destroy viruses. The name for this technology is a 'Rife Machine' or generator. It can use sound or more commonly electromagnetic radiation pulsed at certain frequencies.
The premise of this machine is that viruses contain a crystalline structure and as such have a resonant frequency. They demonstrate this method using a wine glass breaking at a certain threshold of frequency and sound level. They claim using ultra violet radiation to kill viruses or bacteria is proof electromagnetic waves kill viruses and bacteria. They sell such machines and Youtube is full of Rifle material. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdi9MaxZVXc This is a documentary on Royal Raymond Rife the original inventor of the machine. It claims scientists have been indoctrinated and brainwashed concerning conventional biology. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIhkjS6Ln5w&feature=related I am highly skeptical of this technology..but, everyone should be aware of it. |

 Why do we spend so much effort in HCC trying to figure out how to crystallize organic molecules when Royal Raymond Rife claims that they are already in crystal form? Could it be that his claim is contrary to fact?  Lawrence |

Dr. Rife made this claim in the 1920's which was considerable ahead of it's time in any aspect of what he was trying to accomplish. The premise of a crystalline structure is NOT necessarily a requirement for the technology to work and even the best scientists can be wrong. Bridges/buildings are not crystalline yet subject to destructive harmonic resonant frequencies.
I do not necessarily support the idea that it will work on the nano scale of things, but this does not make me a crack pot nor him for having a healthy imagination. If anything such innovation makes someone part genius even if the idea doesn't totally succeed. Most inventions will fail, but those that succeed will change the world. It's people like him that do much more then some lame scientists/doctors who go strictly by convention, push no boundaries nor challenge any 'conventional wisdom.' It's easier to be selfish in our world then actually try to make a change! Don't you think the world would be pretty boring if everyone just followed the status quo and followed conventional wisdom aspiring for nothing higher? Big accomplishment sometimes require big risks and any true scientist should know that's no excuse to give up nor compromise their integrity. Every failure is another unknown possibility that is partially covered so that others might have a better chance to succeed. |

"Elite" HIV wife may hold secret to AIDS vaccine
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080812/ts_nm/aids_couple_dc By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor Tue Aug 12, 5:03 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A woman who has never shown symptoms of infection with the AIDS virus may hold the secret to defeating the virus, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday. Infected at least 10 years ago by her husband, the woman is able somehow to naturally control the deadly and incurable virus -- even though her husband must take cocktails of strong HIV drugs to control his. She is a so-called "elite suppressor," and studies of her immune cells have begun to offer clues to how her body does it, the team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore said. "This is the best evidence to date that elite suppressors can have fully pathogenic virus," said Dr. Joel Blankson, who led the study. "The feeling was initially that they had defective virus," Blankson added in a telephone interview. But the couple has been monogamous for at least 17 years, Blankson said, and tests show they are infected with the same strain of virus. What is different is the immune system of the wife, who cannot be named for privacy reasons. "That's a good sign in terms of developing a therapeutic vaccine," Blankson said. Such a vaccine would not prevent infection but might be used to treat patients. The AIDS virus infects at least 33 million people globally and more than a million in the United States. It has killed 25 million people since it was identified in the early 1980s. New figures show 56,000 people are infected every year in the United states, mostly gay and bisexual men but also injecting drug users and their sexual partners, both male and female, as well as newborns and recipients of contaminated blood transfusions. STALLING REPLICATION Both the man and the woman, who are from Baltimore, were diagnosed 10 years ago, Blankson said. The husband is a former injecting drug user. Tests showed that immune cells known as CD8 T-cells from the wife stalled HIV replication by as much as 90 percent, while the husband's T-cells stopped it by only 30 percent, Blankson's team reported in the Journal of Virology. Her virus has also mutated in apparent response to this immune attack, becoming weaker, while her husband's virus has remained strong. "Elite suppression offers clues to vaccine researchers on many fronts: how CD8 killer T-cells can attack HIV and how a stronger immune response can force HIV into a permanent defensive state," Blankson said. "We are trying to figure out exactly how the T-cells work in her to inhibit viral replication," he added. "We are just trying to see what kind of cytokines they make." Cytokines are immune system signaling proteins. One thing the researchers have noticed is that while the husband's T-cells make just one, called gamma interferon, hers made both that one and another called TNF, or tumor necrosis factor. That cannot be the whole story, though, because AIDS researchers have tried using such immune system proteins in patients and they did not work well. And her immune cells seem to make the response only when they encounter the virus. Another clue: the woman may have unusual activity in her human leukocyte antigen system, or HLA, Blankson said. This important component of the immune system helps recognize antigens -- protein identifiers -- of enemies such as bacteria and viruses. (Editing by Will Dunham and Philip Barbara) |

The below article helps to suggest that cells which are infected with HIV need release a proper 'cytokine response' for the immune system to know enough to destroy 'target specific cells.' HIV inhibits cells from releasing a proper chemical signature that all is not well inside of them. The immune system will be able to sniff out and be led to the exact cell(s) which are leaking cytokines and infected.
Trials have not done well in research for the cytokine response mechanisms. Well, if they just injected cytokines it into the blood stream, no it wouldn't do much of any good as the immune system cells would not know where to attack and be confused. The infected cells need to release the proper cytokines as a call for help. Cytokines act as mediators to elicit the immune response(like swat force). Drugs need to work and serve as mediators or to reactivate switches HIV has disabled. I hope I described that correctly and don't like too much like a 'know it all.' "We are trying to figure out exactly how the T-cells work in her to inhibit viral replication," he added. "We are just trying to see what kind of cytokines they make." Cytokines are immune system signaling proteins.
