POINTS OF INTEREST Letter from the Publisher Jonathan Collin, MD Townsend Letter #348, July 2012 www.townsendletter.com Professor Ruggiero on HIV and AIDS Marco Ruggiero is a professor at the Institute of Experimental Pathology and Oncology at the University of Florence. Professor Ruggiero belongs to a small club of scientists who do not believe that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Professor Peter Duesberg, PhD at the University of California at Berkeley championed this theory in the early 1990s. Duesberg was rewarded for his public discussion of HIV not being [...]
A Long-Standing, Covert Health Threat While mycoplasma was first identified in animals in 1898 and humans in 1932, its considerable health dangers and implications have only in the last several decades become more apparent. Existing somewhere between a virus and typical bacteria, mycoplasmas are known to be the smallest, free-living organisms in the world. Unlike traditional bacteria having solid cell walls, cell-wall deficient mycoplasmas take on many different shapes, making them sometimes difficult to identify in the laboratory and also difficult to culture. Cell wall deficient microorganisms are typically [...]
As the 30th anniversary of my practice approaches, I have been reviewing the different concepts of treatment and the modalities I have used over the years. While some have come and gone, others have been recognized as valid and have evolved into a sustaining part of my practice. One of the most valued and helpful concepts I have discovered is the identification of blocks to healing. In the beginning of my practice I didn’t always understand why some patients were just not responding to my [...]
Email Received from Dr. Michael Galle, Germany; February 11, 2012 [Following] is a new interesting publication from the Nobel laureate Montagnier which deals with the method of MORA. He used the method according to Benveniste (and therefore the method of MORA, which Benveniste copied after Citro had talked with him) for detection of very weak electromagnetic signals from diluted and swirled DNA-Sequences. The work shows that extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields can be transferred by a simple electrode and a conventional amplifier, just like MORA. The second author (Aissa) worked [...]
Disease Follows Money “Disease follows the money. Follow the Dollar bills.” Can we actually predict the future of the world economy, finance, war, politics and pandemic outbreaks based on global data into one basket of information? According to David Weinberger, a senior researcher at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society and co-director of the Harvard Library Innovation Laboratory at Harvard Law School, he thinks it is possible. His article, The Machine That Would Predict the Future in Scientific American, [...]
