Benedetto; Grazie per il tuo commento. I am a lot more skeptical than Rasnick about the existence of any viruses. And that includes Hepatitis B and C. I believe antibodies are caused by many things, including environmental illness (exposure to toxins, nutrient deficiencies etc). And doctors keep testing until they get a positive result, and then declare that virus to be the cause. The only way to prove whether HIV antibodies exist without ridding the body of the virus, is to actually find the virus. So until then it is reasonable to be skeptical, and it is up to those who believe in antibody tests as tests for infection to prove their case. Regarding EMs, Rasnick is correct in saying that there must be a lot of virus for it to cause damage. No damage, no disease. Lots of virus, lots to see. So I think virologists have a convenient excuse. Generally, with cell culture, the photo doesn't prove that there is more than a handful of similar particles present in the entire sample, so except in cases where purity of the particles is achieved (which I've occasionally seen), I doubt very much that Gelderblom's targets are met. But this is all a crazy argument because someone needs to purify a virus, expose an animal to it in the normal way (and it shouldn't take 10^12 particles to cause an infection) and satisfy Koch's postulates. But no virologists can do this for any virus.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://www.howpositiveareyou.com/hpay-091-david_rasnick/comment-page-1/#comment-615">benjo</a>.</p> <p>Benedetto; Grazie per il tuo commento.</p> <p>I am a lot more skeptical than Rasnick about the existence of any viruses.

I've got two questions mostly regarding hiv.. I keep on hearing, over and over again - even in this podcast - that having antibodies against whatever bug is always good for you, that you are protected and safe, forever, and that this is exactly the principle that underlies every vaccination! Nonetheless, I've also read that this is not always the case, since antibodies are not always protective. As a matter of fact hepatitis B and C, in some percentages, can become chronic illnesses, and that despite the presence of antibodies, which are then taken as a mere signal of an ongoing and everlasting infection. My question is... Why are you dissidents so sure hiv can't behave the same? As far as EMs are concerned..I've got another question for prof Rasnick. If I did not get it wrong (I am not a native speaker) he maintains that when a virus causes a disease it can be found in huge amounts in blood and/or in fresh diseased tissues, in so huge quantities that it can be photographed directly there, without having to culture it outside the body, in an artificial environment like the cells cultures. Now, I have read somewhere (BMJ?) that Gelderblom himself said that you cannot take pictures of viruses directly form patients' tissues or fresh plasma simply because, in order to be seen under the EM, the virus particles must have an incredible density (10^12 particles per ml?), something that is not achievable in vivo without multiplying them before..and that's exactly the reason why cell cultures are needed. Who is right here? thank you Benedetto]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>dear David, dear Ely,<br /> thanks for your precious job, competent and informative as usual.</p> <p>I’ve got two questions mostly regarding hiv..</p> <p>I keep on hearing, over and over again – even in this podcast – that having antibodies against whatever bug is always good for you, that you are protected and safe, forever, and that this is exactly the principle that underlies every vaccination!<br /> Nonetheless, I’ve also read that this is not always the case, since antibodies are not always protective.
