Iran Claims Found Cure For AIDS |
|
On the same day that Iranian scientists claimed that they have discovered a herbal cure for AIDS, President Ahmadinejad vowed that on February 11 the Islamic Republic's nuclear rights "will be established." http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/Iran_claims_found_herbal_cure_for_0204.html

8. How horrible for the citizens of Iran to know that the cabal has them in their sights. |
|
The Mullahs and Ahmadinejad are trying everything under the sun to keep from being bombed. They're probably pretty f***ing pissed at this situation, as well.
We must stop the war machine, now. MKJ

3. The article calls it an herbal remedy, and then a drug |
|
but it is not clear exactly what is in it. Wonder if it contains some of the immune system boosters already known to herbologists?

|
A good many drugs are herbal in origin.

anti-retrovirals, though.
Are there even any herbal anti-viral cures?

4. LOL. I'm sorry, but... |
|
...my first reaction was to laugh. I'll believe it when I see it.
I hope it's true, but it is highly unlikely.

11. Nah! North Korea cures Cancer, |
|
Iraq ends world hunger, then Iran gets angry that they are being out done, and builds the first Mars space colony! Of course, this just creates a cycle where North Korea then harnesses the full potential of Nano Technology, Iraq creates artificial stars and harnesses the energy they provide, Iran creates the first fully genetically engineered human like species... and on and on.

Doesn't this just give them one more reason? Don't want any potential profits slipping away from Bush's pharmaceutical pals.

nobody heard about a cure for cancer. There's a report of a drug that kills cancer cells in a petri dish. That's far, far away from a cure.

10. It's called hemlock, they give it to all their HIV patients and those "at risk" for HIV |
|
Edited on Sun Feb-04-07 07:13 PM by kenny blankenship
as a preventative as well as curative medicine. According to public health officials in Tehran, incidents of HIV are "dropping to zero."

12. That's very interesting. Most Americans know nothing of the advanced medical research... |
|
going on in Iran. They are doing a lot of research with embryonic stem cells as well. I don't know, this may very well be propaganda, but oddly enough you'd be surprised that Western drug companies scour the Earth talking to shamans and witch doctors about their herbal remedies, because often they are really based off of chemicals in the herbs.
