HIV = AIDS: Fraud or Fiction?

[InvisibleHand]

According to biologists at the University of Liverpool the plagues of the Middle Ages have made 10 percent of Europeans HIV-resistant.

Scientists managed to trace the mutation to 700 years ago, a time when plagues, including the bubonic plague, were sweeping across Europe. The places hardest hit by the plagues are the ones that now have the highest levels of resistance to HIV.

Professor Christopher Duncan and Dr Susan Scott from the University of Liverpool’s School of Biological Sciences used a computer model to show how selected diseases provided the evolutionary pressure necessary to force the frequency of the mutation up from 1 in 20,000 to the values today of 1 in 10.

These resistant individuals carry a mutation known as CCR5-delta 32 that inhibits the CCR5 cellular receptor used to gain access to the immune system by HIV and other diseases. The mutation effectively presents immunity to HIV and other diseases that use the CCR5 cellular receptor as a gateway into the immune system.

For years,I have always learned about AIDS/HIV, the question is: WHY have you just started learning it? (and YES, u r also Alpha).


Believe me, I follow the progress of this disease like a hawk. The science communities are incompetent. But I do have a hunch, the German Patient who received a bone morrow or stem cell would bring a new hope of glimmer to the study. It is a start. Coincidentally, this same german patient (he is really an American who lived in Germany) posses the Euro strong immune dating back to the black plague. But overall, the science community have only progressed in creating a one or two or three 'pill' system as opposed to the cocktail medicine of 15 pills in the early 80/90s. But as far as a cure--- forget it. At the rate they are going(32 years and counting) a cure is not in the near future. IN the meantime-- AIDS is solving the population issue in third world countries.
