Quotes
"In Africa, 50 percent of the population has no access to clean drinking water
and the vast majority lack even basic medical care. And the response from
multimillion dollar AIDS organization is to promote HIV testing, give out
condoms and to implement treatment with deadly AIDS drugs. These drugs are
similar or identical to chemotherapy drugs used in cancer treatment. They work
by stopping cell growth. They kill your body from the inside out."---

[2003] Africa:
Treating Poverty with Toxic Drugs By Liam Scheff
Boehringer, a pharmaceutical company, has been doing studies in Uganda
with a drug called Nevirapine. The FDA refused approval of Nevirapine in the US
for so-called mother to child transmission because it's ineffective and has
deadly side effects, but this is exactly how the drug is being used in Africa -
on pregnant women and unborn children.
In one drug trial, 17 percent of patients taking Nevirapine developed liver
problems. A US health care worker taking Nevirapine had to have a liver
transplant to save his life as a result of drug toxicity. Five women in South
Africa died and dozens developed severe liver problems in a combination AIDS
drug trial that included Nevirapine.
The manufacturer's warning label for Nevirapine itself states that patients
taking the drug have experienced: “Severe, life-threatening and in some cases
fatal hepatotoxicity [liver damage],” and “severe, life-threatening skin
reactions, including fatal cases.”
These are the most toxic drugs known to medicine, and they're being applied to
the most vulnerable part of the population - pregnant mothers, unborn children
and newborns - all based on a faulty test, or no test at all, while their actual
food, shelter and water needs continue to be ignored. "---

Treating Poverty with Toxic Drugs By Liam Scheff
What would actually help Africans is infrastructure development: proper
sanitation, safe water, basic medical care and plentiful, nutritive food. This
is simple, clear and logical. What's astounding is that the UN is recommending
just the opposite.
In 1999 the UNAIDS commission gave its official recommendations to a meeting of
finance ministers representing various African countries. The UN's exact
recommendations to African nations: to redirect billions of dollars from health,
infrastructure and rural development into AIDS - condoms, safe sex lectures and
deadly pharmaceuticals. This is not what these already suffering people need to
be healthy and successful. This is exactly how to propagate death, disease and
poverty.
