AID$: The Unheard Voices!

Millions of pounds are being plowed into the campaign against "AID$". In the battle against the so called disease, medical research has been almost exclusively devoted to defeating the infamous H-I-V /virus but this dispatch listens to the previously unheard voices of medical science which say HIV is not the cause AIDS. If the HIV theory is misguided both research effort and money are being channeled away from the real cause of the disease and the villification of thousands of people who are "HIV Positive" is not only unjust but cruely wrong.

New Clinical Research Treatment for Amblylopia, Strabismus, Lazy Eye!

Have adult amblyopia, strabismus, or both? Watch my video for a new research technique to help improve your vision. Amblyopia means that visual stimulation either fails to transmit or is poorly transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain for a continuous period of time. It can also occur when the brain "turns off" the visual processing of one eye, to prevent double-vision, for example in strabismus (crossed-eyes). It often occurs during early childhood, resulting in poor or blurry vision. Amblyopia normally affects only one eye in most patients. However, it is possible, though rare, to be amblyopic in both eyes, if both fail to receive clear visual images. Detecting the condition in early childhood increases the chance of successful treatment, especially if detected before the age of five. The earlier it is detected, and the underlying cause corrected with spectacles and/or surgery, the more successful the treatment in equalizing vision between the two eyes.
