Joan Shenton is an award-winning British television producer whose company, Meditel Productions, has produced over 150 programs for network television. In 1987, she produced the first documentary challenging the science behind the HIV=AIDS hypothesis, “AIDS: The Unheard Voices”, which won the Royal Television Society Award for Journalism. She then produced three more documentaries: “The AIDS Catch”, “AZT – Cause for Concern”, and “AIDS and Africa”. She is currently creating a new documentary, “Positively False: Birth of a Heresy“, soon to be released in 2011. Joan is best known for her book, “Positively False: Exposing the Myths Around HIV and AIDS”, which can be found on Amazon.com, Alibris.com, and other online resources. In this hour-long conversation, David, Terry and Joan explore a range of fascinating topics centered around the rethinking AIDS movement, and the fierce resistance it encounters worldwide.
Joan’s wonderful videos, and other historical video material, can be explored at her Immune Resource Foundation website.
UPDATE, January 2016: Joan’s films are now available on YouTube! Immunity Resource Foundation Web site editor Mohammed Aziz writes as of January 14 that Joan Shenton and Andi Reiss’ Meditel film production company granted YouTube channel Question Everything permission to upload both Positively False and Positive Hell (English/Spanish version and French-subtitled version), which it has done. We see a lot of other AIDS-dissident documentaries on the channel, including the acclaimed House of Numbers and Anne Sono‘s I Won’t Go Quietly, so head on over there.
The 16th Anniversary edition of Joan’s book, Positively False: Exposing the Myths Around HIV and AIDS, has received at least one very favorable review on Amazon. Congratulations, Joan! (We note that “KindleUnlimited” customers get the Kindle edition free. Free.)

I’d be interested in a comment from Joan or RA regarding the notion of national/international security, and reporting suspicious or dangerous activities (such poisons in Japan’s underground, or via sex shops and over the Internet).
Why is this theory not a fact when it comes to faggots and alkyl nitrites?
Lots of questions, but very few thorough and intelligent answers.
There appears to an abundance of answers, just few solutions. Like talking to a post.
But change, yes we can. Unfortunately or fortunately, one can only get credit for any good news, once there is good news to be had. And then you must deal with the bad news. Actions do speak louder than words, but ultimately words will catch up with you, in this life or the next.
Spin will not turn the world around. Action will.
