Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer is Today's Single Most Brilliant and Innovative Medical Investigator…

A clinical trial is currently undergoing enthusiastic IRB committee review at an Ohio teaching center. Currently, Dr. Broxmeyer in conjunction with large laboratory research centers in San Francisco and Nebraska is working on a novel technique to kill mycobacteria presently offering resistance to known antibiotics by a novel technique using the bacteriophage. Initial results, soon to be published in The JOURNAL of INFECTIOUS DISEASES, have been extremely encouraging. AIDS: What the Discoverers of HIV Never admitted: Is AIDS really caused by a virus? and Parkinson's-Another Look can be purchased from the publisher New Century Press; BarnesandNoble.com & Amazon.com

"An interesting book that presents the hypothesis that AIDS may be caused by a strain of tuberculosis which would mean that tuberculosis and atypical tuberculosis is not an opportunistic disease but actually a trigger for becoming HIV positive that results in AIDS. Interesting reading. It has extensive references. For those doing research, this would be a curious little book to read." AIDS BOOK REVIEW JOURNAL University of Illinois at Chicago H.

"Dr. Broxmeyer reveals some theories based on his years of research on Parkinson's disease that are exciting and interesting. Theories that need to be examined closer with funding and more sceientist. A cure needs to be found and Dr. Broxmeyer's theories seem very logical in regards to the cause. Once the cause can be determined the cure is not ususally too far away!" Mike Samuels, Odessa, Texas

Booksandauthors.net: Dr. Broxmeyer, as a physician, What brought you into the AIDS arena with AIDS: What The Discoverers of HIV Never Admitted?

Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D.: A deep dissatisfaction with the theory that quickly grew around AIDS and the evolution of its treatment. When I was a resident at St. Claire's in New York in the early 1980's, our clinical instructor asked us if any knew of a new disease called 'Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome' (AIDS). Nobody replied.

Booksandauthors.net: But wasn't this was early in the evolution of our knowledge of the disease?

Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D.: Yes. But as we pass the 20th anniversary of the first reported AIDS cases, it has infected nearly 60 million people of which 22 million, including nearly half-a-million Americans have died and 8,500 AIDS deaths occur daily. Yet, the prospects for a cure or vaccine are as remote as they were over two decades ago.

Booksandauthors.net: Your book suggests that the specific virus called a retrovirus we have come to know as HIV does not cause AIDS. Isn't this against mainstream thought?

Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D.: Correct, and although it is currently difficult to find anyone who openly questions HIV as the cause of AIDS, a fast-growing number of scientists express their doubts privately. Let us not forget that originally a voluminous amount of self-fulfilling literature also attributed AIDS to the retrovirus HTLV1. This proved wrong.

Booksandauthors.net: When you mention dissident scientists, Dr. Peter Duesberg comes to mind.

Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D.: As a prominent American retrovirologist who did much of the pioneer work on retroviral ultrastructure and at one time worked with Robert Gallo, who was in a better position to maintain that HIV did not cause AIDS?

Booksandauthors.net: Yet the vast preponderance of current thought supports Dr. Luc Montagnier's and Dr. Robert Gallo's HIV as causative in AIDS.

Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D.: Montagnier and Gallo were retrovirologists who saw a retrovirus as causing just about everything. Both at one time tried to attribute them to causing cancer. Such attempts failed miserably. When AIDS entered the picture retroviral research quickly shifted from cancer to AIDS.

Booksandauthors.net: Montagnier seemed fairly certain that HIV was behind AIDS.

Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D.: In 1990 Montagnier and Lemitre did a hornet's nest of an experiment that put HIV advocates on the edge of their chairs. They found that cells cultured with "HIV", which normally died, grew well in the presence of two antibiotics, minocycline and doxycycline. Antibiotics do not affect viruses, so they were not working against HIV- it was a bacteria. Montagnier decided that that bacteria was probably a mycoplasma, a necessary "co-factor" for the AIDS virus to become fatal. This co-factor theory was in effect Montagnier's way of admitting that HIV, the virus he had discovered wasn't virulent enough in itself to even approach what happened in AIDS.
