Alex Verney-Elliott Writes to Gordon Brown

29th March, 2008

Dear Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Gordon Brown,

I would like to bring your attention to my reward of £50,000 for electron-micrograph (EM) evidence of the existence of HIV.

The non-isolation of HIV was the main theme of a satellite meeting ‘HIV-testing; open questions regarding specificity’ held at the 12th World AIDS Conference in Geneva in 1998. The International Forum for Accessible Science (IFAS) hosted this session with a panel of distinguished HIV critics including Professor Gordon Stewart, Professor Etienne de Harven. Ten years on, the isolation of HIV has not been proven.

Contributing to this session was a panel of scientists from Perth, Western Australia, led by biophysicist Eleni Eleopulos who argued that there had been no isolation of HIV according to the scientifically approved standards for retroviral isolation as discussed at the Pasteur Institute in 1973.

At the closing of press session I asked Richard Horton, then editor of The Lancet, and the 12th World AIDS Conference chairman, Dr. Bernard Hirschel: “The current indirect HIV tests and PCR are not sufficient proof that HIV has been isolated. Where is the proof that HIV exists? “ None of the perplexed panel answered.

The alleged co-discoverers of HIV Luc Montagnier and Robert Gallo agreed that to claim the existence of a new retrovirus the minimum necessary but not sufficient condition is to have electron microscopic (EM) evidence for the isolation (purification) of the putative retroviral particles.

In 1997 Montagnier admitted to the French journalist Djamel Tahi that the material, which in 1983 he claimed to represent purified HIV, did not even have particles with the “morphology typical of retroviruses” and stated: “I repeat we did not purify”. Prof. Gallo stated: “You have to purify.” Yet when Montagnier was asked if the Gallo group purified ‘HIV’, he replied: “I don’t know if he really purified. I don’t believe so.” (1)

Dr. Heinz Ludwig Sänger, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Biology and Virology, Max-Planck-Institutes for Biochemy, Mùnchen stated: “Up to today there is actually no single scientifically really convincing evidence for the existence of HIV. Not even once such a retrovirus has been isolated and purified by the methods of classical virology.”

To date there is still no electron micrograph (EM) which shows purification of the putative HIV particles and thus of the existence of a unique, isolated retrovirus. What was wrongly taken to be ‘purified HIV’ was in fact cellular debris as Hans Gelderblom et al demonstrated in Virology, March 1997. This brings urgently into question the validity, efficacy and legality of all hypothetical HIV testing procedures.

All images of the hypothetical HIV are invariably computerized fictions of virtual virology (often embellished with seductive psychedelic colours) and yet it has never been possible to visualize any HIV retroviral particle by EM. In summary, I request your office, and the Department of Health, obtain EM evidence for the existence of purified HIV particles.

I would like to conclude with a couple of quotes that aptly apply to Gallo and Montagnier:

”The most formidable barrier to the advancement of science is the conventional wisdom of the dominant group.”

C. H. Waddington, Geneticist.

”It is a dire example of how a distinguished scholar who has contributed much to the advancement of science, now impedes further progress by his stubborn adherence to a dogma of his own creation.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Maximen und Reflexionen, Texstelle 586.

Dear Prime Minister Gordon Brown,

Thank you for your letter of 16 April 2006 carefully noting my views.

However you have missed my reason for writing to you, namely, to provide me with an electron micrograph of purified HIV particles.  

So once again I would be grateful if you could provide me with such an electron micrograph, as without such essential evidence all HIV testing procedures remain invalid and cannot be medically or legally justified.

Yours sincerely,
Alexander Verney–Elliott

Dear Prime Minister Gordon Brown,

Thank you for your letter of 16 April 2008 carefully noting my views. I replied on the 23rd of April 2008 but still have had no reply from you.

I want your office through the Department of Health to provide me with an electron micrograph of purified HIV particles to prove HIV exists.

So once again I would be grateful if you could provide me with such an electron micrograph, as without such essential evidence all HIV testing procedures remain invalid and illegal as such and must be withdrawn.

If you are still unable to resolve this issue I will have to take you to the European Court of Human Rights as HIV testing violates human rights.

Yours sincerely,
Alexander Verney–Elliott
