In ‘AIDS, CANCER AND ARTHRITIS’ – A NEW PERSPECTIVE a considerable amount of evidence in support of the predicted Natural Genetic Engineering as a cause of human disease is presented. It has become increasingly apparent in the intervening years that AIDS and some malignant diseases, including leukaemias, may fall into the same category. Evidence for this view is adduced from several fields including tissue typing and the association of certain diseases with particular tissue types; graft versus host studies, plant pathology; computer studies and techniques of gene therapy. The diseases in question are considered from a broad biological base, taking into account the universality of the genetic code and the similarity in the mechanisms of protein synthesis between widely different organisms. The artificial disciplinary divisions between agricultural and medical bacteriology are regarded as having impeded the progress of medical research considerably. It is suggested that much can be learnt by cancer research workers from studies on plant cancer and the possibility that some human cancers may be the result of the same modus operandi is discussed. AIDS It is pointed out that the belief in retroviral cause of AIDS was based on a series of elementary laboratory errors. Quite simply there was a catastrophic failure to recognise that the so-called pure cultures of ‘HIV’ were heavily contaminated with cytopathogenic/cell-killing mycoplasmas (cell-wall less filterable bacteria) and cellular components derived from the tissue cultures in which the viruses were cultured. As a result many of the characteristics of these microbial and cellular contaminants were wrongly attributed to ‘HIV’. The most obvious one of these was to attribute mycoplasma-mediated cytopathogenicity to ‘HIV’. The fact that ‘HIV’ does not kill cells directly was only admitted by the mainstream some 15 years later. There has also been a failure in AIDS research to take into account the widespread occurrence of mycoplasma infection of human erythrocytes. This has undoubtedly prejudiced the measurement of alleged ‘HIV’ loads, both in studies on AIDS patients and in studies on maternal to foetal transmission experiments. Further serious errors of interpretation occurred in the animal experiments most notably on those conducted on macaque monkeys. Careful examination of these clearly indicates that the alien cell-components are the true cause of the acquired immuno-deficiencies, as opposed to a conventional virus = disease concept. It is concluded that the concept of ‘HIV’/AIDS as now understood is incorrect and that the Natural Genetic Engineering could be the answer. It is suggested that the 20th century unprecedented world-wide sexual promiscuity, among gays in particular, blood transfusions, drug addiction and massive vaccination programs could have helped in the establishment of such disease entities. It is however acknowledged that many ’AIDS’ cases have other explanations including, regrettably, medical interventions.
