Hans,
I have recently been in contact with Ray Peat, and I am over joyed that he took the time to email me back. I asked him what he would do exactly if he were diagnosed with AIDS. He told me a lot of ways of blocking tissue destruction, although he was not quite specific on which tissue he was talking about. I've emailed him again for clarification.
I was wondering though, what exactly would you do if you were diagnosed with AIDS? I am pretty sure you wouldn't be dumb enough to take an HIV test like the unfortunate souls who have tested positive were, but theoretically speaking. What would be the first things you would do? |

Actually, I wish I had been tested for "HIV" back in 2000, when I started wasting away, because it might have provided insights into what leads to a "positive" result. I remember thinking that I wasn't going to get the test if asked because if I had contracted "HIV" then everyone must have it (because of the kind of life I led), and that was before I knew of "dissidents."
One difference between myself and Ray Peat is that he seems less interested in molecular-level phenomena and more interested in tissues, organs, and endocrinal issues. I think of this as a complementary situation. One problem is that doctors don't routinely test for molecules that may be important, such as TNF-alpha. Also, TNF-alpha levels may be raised in the early stages of "AIDS" and lower towards the end, when the person is on the verge of death. However, one thing that makes sense in any context is the avoidance of stressors, along with making sure your body is being supplied with things that are truly essential.
Instead, people are often told the exact opposite by various "experts," who suggest people take fish oil pills while not even asking about high-quality protein consumption, for example. I would also mention that there is really no such thing as "AIDS," scientifically. It's a human construct that is supposed to aid doctors until the underlying mechanisms are known, but it came to be defined in more general terms, rather than more specific ones, which is just another indication of how misleading it has become. |
