Rebecca Culshaw, herself under fire from AIDSTruth.org’s co–founders John P. Moore and Jeanne Bergman for her compellingly questioning of HIV as the retroviral cause of AIDS, said this in reminding them that HIV is just a hypothesis:

“After ten years involved in the academic side of HIV research, as well as in the academic world at large, I truly believe that the blame for the universal, unconditional, faith–based acceptance of such a flawed theory falls squarely on the shoulders of those among us who have actively endorsed a completely unproven hypothesis in the interests of furthering our careers. Of course, hypotheses in science deserve to be studied, but no hypothesis should be accepted as fact before it is proven, particularly one whose blind acceptance has such dire consequences.”

Biernbaum’s E–mail exchange with Moore, of Weil Cornell Med Center – a “top AIDS scientist”, is revealing. Posted on April 19, 2006, Biernbaum finds AIDSTruth.org rife with misinformation, mischaracterizations and character assassinations and requests readers to go to that website to see for themselves.

Biernbaum addresses an article from the site, authored by PhD Moore, which mischaracterizes the training of Dr. Roberto Giraldo. Dr. Giraldo is an M.D.who has actually treated AIDS patients.

Biernbaum chastises Moore for not restricting his comments to Dr. Giraldo’s work, writing: “The intentional mischaracterization of Dr. Giraldo by Dr. Moore will be corrected in print. One imagines that this will be quite embarrassing for Dr. Moore…. (whose group) seems to have a serious case of foot–in–mouth disease replete with these types of mischaracterizations and character assassinations. A list of these has been compiled as part of an article that has been accepted in a major U.S. newspaper.”

On April 17th, 2006 Moore writes back saying to Biernbaum “You and your fellow AIDS denialists are not people with whom my colleagues and I “debate”, for that what would be to dignify your absurd views to an extent that that is undeserved. The only thing you will receive from us is our withering, unreserved, but entirely deserved contempt.”

Perhaps, but then again, says journalist Liam Scheff, ”Moore (and his cabal at Aidstruth.org), systematically refuse to debate those they attack. They state that they are on the side of “Truth,” and that everyone and anyone who opposes them (or their wishes), for whatever reason or reasons, is on the side of “the denialists.””

Although there were many many other victims of the “contempt” expressed by Dr. Moore’s e–mail and written up on AIDSTruth against “denialists” from the “AIDS denialist movement”, in the eyes of Scheff, “there is no “AIDS denialist movement“. This is a term Moore has invented to describe those who have pointed to the massive, blood–soaked failures of the standard AIDS belief system, and pleaded for a new plan of attack on the many problems that “AIDS” (presently) represents and stands for.”

“Moore,” sums Scheff, “the “scientist” we’re supposed to trust, runs hard–core “campaigns” against those who would like to challenge a failing medical paradigm in public debate.”

Apparently I am one of those who have been chosen for such review.

Moore says that “AIDStruth” doesn’t libel, but what else would you call it when they imply that Dr. Broxmeyer was charged with 13 specifications of professional misconduct, including “practicing with negligence“, led to the suspension of his pharmacy and medical licenses when in fact the only charge that was ever adjudicated in suspending my NY State license was Medicaid misbilling.

As if Moore is himself so squeaky clean. Scheff relates “This is the same John P. Moore who claims that orphaned children should, nay, MUST be used in government/pharmaceutical drug trials, with three, four, five, six, seven drugs – FDA Black–Box labeled drugs (those that have permanently damaged or killed patients taking them).”

Broxmeyer says Moore and Bergman’s website surfs the internet for information to fuel personal invectives, much of it inaccurate as well as defamatory….. what else would you call the statement that “Fortunately for the public” that because Dr. Broxmeyer cannot practice medicine he can’t “put many people in immediate danger”?

Who cannot practice medicine Doctor Moore and Doctor/lawyer Bergman? I am still a physician in the United States. It is you, as PhD’s who cannot and should not be able to practice medicine. And, while you are at it, please clarify what you were both doing when the costal US AIDS epidemic first hit, when I was in the midst of treating, through standard HIV protocols, and at a Cornell affiliated hospital, the many AIDS patients sent my way. Had you already by then Dr. Moore earned the title “AIDS expert” in your laboratory?

I am certain that, much to your chagrin, and within the next month or two a peer reviewed paper by Dr. Alan Cantwell, MD and myself will be published and appear on Medline (Pub Med) Certainly, you had ample time to detect this paper as it was submitted to major medical journals, at least one of which Dr. Moore happen to review papers for.

I realize that HIV/retroviral advocates, paid and unpaid, like yourselves do not entirely know what to do with the thoughts behind what Dr. Cantwell and I wrote. So they prefer personal invectives. We never said that HIV does not exist or that it doesn’t cause AIDS, we said its not a retrovirus, but rather the viral–form of a group of AIDS related bacteria.

There are many many reasons why our paper is so damaging to HIV/ retroviral enthusiasts like yourselves. Let me give you an idea. The bacteria implied can and does cross–react in excess of 70% of the time to create a positive test in kits and assays designed to detect your “retroviral” HIV, a fact which HIV pioneers Kashala and Max Essex were forced to acknowledge long ago.

Secondly, this particular bacteria has, as I just mentioned, many viral–like forms which resemble not only HIV but Montagnier’s Cofactor (mycoplasma). Remember him? Also the manuscript has several lovely microscopic pictographs of the bacteria in action ……….unquestionably the most common bacteria found in AIDS. And, the bacteria is sexually transmissible. Nor has there has ever existed a more immunodepressent disease than this bacteria has wrought upon mankind. And lastly, for some reason, the bacteria itself has come to be recognized as an “AIDS defining disease“……imagine that.

So since the review doesn’t say that HIV is in your imagination, nor that it does not cause AIDS, but rather simply that HIV isn’t the HIV retrovirus, AIDSTruth doesn‘t know quite how to handle it, does it………especially when the paper is peppered with support from the likes and thoughts of de Harven, the first ever to see a retrovirus under the electron, and Duesberg, one of the first to define retroviral structure. This you might say, sort of brings things over the top for you.

What is this class of bacteria, besides being the most prevalent of any class of bacteria in AIDS, whose cell–wall deficient forms simulate the HIV retovirus?

For your information, In 2006, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2 billion people, equal to one–third of the world’s total population, are infected with TB bacilli, the microbes that cause TB.. These are the cases that are detected and many more aren’t, or worse yet, mistaken for diseases such as AIDS. Also for your perusal and according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. TB is the major attributable cause of death in HIV/AIDS patients. One out of every three people with HIV/AIDS worldwide dies of TB.

You see Doctor’s Bergman and Moore, at around the time I appeared in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, a colleague disclosed to me since I was lead investigator in the study and it was not funded by any pharmaceutical firms, that he had approached and done a study addressing whether the antiretrovirals had any affect on the mycobacteria. They certainly seemed to, especially in the case of Mycobacterium avium. Or at least, the National Institute of Health (NIH) thought the matter relevant enough to request further investigation into the matter.

Jeanne Bergman, lawyer and cofounder of “AIDSTruth.org” is characterized by Celia Farber as “a “human rights and AIDS activist” who has recently devoted her time to “beating back the HIV denialists” (those who question HIV’s pathogenicity and raise alarm about AIDS drug toxicities) through “grassroots activism,” is also a writer and editor for the AIDS journal of Housing Works, one of the most well–funded of all AIDS organs.”

But perhaps Liam Scheff sums It up best: “Not clever, but criminal. Moore, Bergman, and their group, are ruining medicine, ruining scientific discourse and medical discovery, and they must be opposed, and they must be challenged; and competition in the field must be allowed to flourish, so that the best ideas are born out, by process. Not by cabal, or attack, or slander, or censorship. But by competition in the field, which currently takes a “denialist” position to anyone who doesn’t uphold the party line.”

Did you hear that comrades?
