The Next Big Stock (AEMD) |
| Aethlon Medical has developed a first-in-class medical device to assist in the treatment of infectious disease. The device, known as the Hemopurifier®, is positioned to be a broad-spectrum treatment for drug and vaccine resistant bioweapons, naturally evolving pandemic threats, and chronic infectious disease targets including Hepatitis-C (HCV) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). On March 6, 2007, Aethlon submitted an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting permission to initiate human safety studies of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® as a treatment countermeasure against select category "A" bioterror threats. Additional studies to demonstrate utility of the Hemopurifier® as a countermeasure against bioterror threats are being conducted with researchers at The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), and The Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR). Category "A" bioterror threats are defined by the CDC as agents that pose a risk to national security; are easily disseminated or transmitted from person to person; result in high mortality rates; may cause public panic and social disruption, and require special action for public health preparedness. Global researcher, Frost & Sullivan, awarded the Hemopurifier® the 2006 Technology Innovation Award, and The AIDS Institute presented Aethlon with the 2007 Innovative HIV Life Sciences Leadership Award. The Company has also initiated research on a second generation Hemopurifier® that targets the capture of growth factors inherent in the spread of Cancer. More information on Aethlon Medical and the Hemopurifier(TM) technology can be found at www.aethlonmedical.com. NOT PUBLISHED BY AETHLON MEDICAL |

How ERVs work and how they show common ancestry |
| ERV counter-arguments are refuted in the videos I set as responses to this one. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: The following is an animation, produced by the Boehringer Ingelheim Corporation, explains how endogenous retroviruses work. The example being used is human immunodeficiency virus. I also added commentary of my own, that explains how ERVs show that we evolved from the same ancestor that Chimpanzees did. Step one is the infection of a suitable host-cell, such as a CD4+ (cluster of differentiation 4) T lymphocyte. Entry of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) into the cell requires the presents of certain receptors on the cell's surface: CD4 receptors and co-receptors such as CCR5 (Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5) or CXCR4 (Chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4). These receptors interact with protein complexes, which are embedded in the viral envelope. These complexes are comprised of two glycoproteins: an extra-cellular GP120 and a trans-membrane GP41. When HIV approaches a target cell, GP120 binds to the CD4 receptors. This process is termed "attachment". It promotes further binding to a co-receptor. Co-receptor binding results in a conformational change in GP120. This allows GP41 to unfold and insert its hydrophobic terminus into the cell membrane. GP41 then folds back on itself. This draws the virus towards the cell and facilitates the fusion of their membranes. The viral nucleocapsid enters the host-cell and breaks open, releasing two viral RNA strands, and three essential replication enzymes: integrase, protease, and reverse transcriptase. Reverse transcriptase then begins the reverse transcription of viral RNA. It has two catalytic domains: the ribonuclease H active site and the polymerase active site. Here, single stranded, viral RNA is transcribed into an RNA/DNA double-helix. Ribonuclease H breaks down the RNA. The polymerase then completes the remaining DNA strand to form a DNA double-helix. Now, integrase goes into action. It cleaves a dinucleotide from each 3-prime end of the DNA, creating two "sticky" ends. Integrase then transfers the DNA into the cell nucleolus and facilitates its integration into the host-cell genome. The host-cell genome now contains the genetic information of HIV. Activation of the cell then induces transcription of pro-viral DNA into messenger RNA. If the virus does activate, the immediate production of thousands retroviral copies quickly overwhelms, and kills the cell. If, however, the virus fails to activate, it will become a permanent fixture within the genome and the cell will not be compromised by this process of replication and will continue functioning normally. Now, if this cell happens to be a reproductive cell that is part of a sperm or an egg, and that sperm or egg happens to be used to produce an offspring, that retroviral code will be part of the offspring's genome. Since that particular retroviral marker in that particular section of the genome is only transmissible by sexual reproduction, if two beings share a marker, you can be sure they share a common ancestor as well. If the two beings are of the same species, that common ancestor may be as well. But if they are of different species, there must have been a time when those two species were one, and the common ancestor passed on the retroviral code before the split occurred. Since Humans and Chimpanzees share retroviral markers, we can be sure that both share a common ancestor. For educational purposes, here's what happens if things go as they normally do, and the virus activates: The viral messenger RNA migrates into the cytoplasm, where building blocks for a new virus are synthesized. Some of them have to be processed by the viral protease. Protease cleaves longer proteins into smaller core proteins. This step is crucial to create an infectious virus. Two viral RNA strands and the replication enzymes then come together and core proteins assemble around them, forming the capsid. This immature viral particle leaves the cell, acquiring a new envelope of host and viral proteins. The virus matures and becomes ready to infect other cells. HIV replicates billons of times per day, destroying the host's immune cells and eventually causing disease progression.

HIV: The Greatest Medical Hoax of our Time. Pt 5 |
| Wikipedia defines HIV as: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) This statement is not only false it is not backed by any scientific proof. HIV does not even classify as a retrovirus by definition since it has never been isolated and it has never been proven that can be spread by any means. Further, in the 100,000+ studies done on AIDS to date there has NEVER been proof that HIV leads to AIDS or that they are even related. In fact, by definition of a retrovirus, HIV may not even exist at all! Yes, you are reading this correctly. The test, we are told, that will tell whether someone is HIV positive and therefore develop AIDS does not even test for the virus itself. It tests for components of the virus antibodies and proteins that we are told are specific only to HIV. This is also FALSE. The first Western Blot test by Robert Gallo tested some 75% of the population as being HIV positive. All he did was lower the sensitivity to target the gay population. He also added hydrocortisone to the list which is found in people who are under stress. There are a number of proteins that are misclassified and all of which can be found in any healthy person in different levels depending on a number of factors. Also, we are told that a T-cell count below 200 is a determining factor for HIV. If you were to take a cross section of the population who do not have any risk for HIV and test their T-cell counts you will find that it ranges from 180-1500. And that is in normal healthy individuals, therefore 200 is at the low end of normal. If HIV were a virus, an infectious disease as we are told it is, it would have spread through the rest of the population certainly by now. Why hasn't it? Because what we are told about HIV and AIDS is a LIE! DEMAND ANSWERS AND QUESTION THE SOURCES! It is unfortunate that we live in a culture in which corporate capitalism is the law of the land. The pharmaceutical industry is calling the shots and they know that they are sitting on an absolute gold mine by spreading disinformation about this and other so, called diseases. Remember, a patient cured, is a customer lost. Follow the money and question those who profit from from it. Robert Gallo is a fraud. His Western Blot Test makes a mockery out of science. His work was NEVER peer reviewed before it was released, and it was later determined that he stole his construct of HIV from French researchers. He has to share the profits from the sales of the so called HIV test as a result. Educate yourself, and be aware of charlatans like Robert Gallow. FROM HIV TEST-KIT INSERTS: • "At present there is no recognized standard for establishing the presence or absence of HIV-1 antibody in human blood." (Abbott Lab HIV Test - ElA) • "The risk of an asymptomatic person with a repeatedly reactive serum developing AIDS or an AIDS-related condition is not known." (Genetic Systems HIV Test - Peptide EIA) • "The AMPLICOR HIV-1 (PCR "Viral Load") MONITOR test is not intended to be used as a screening test for HIV or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV infection" (Roche, Amplicor HIV Test Kit). • "Do not use this kit as the sole basis of diagnosis of HIV-1 infection." (Epitope, Inc. HIV Test - Western Blot) • "Clinical studies continue to clarify and refine the interpretation and medical significance of the presence of antibodies to HIV." (Abbott Laboratories HIV Test - ElA) |
