AIDS: A Second Opinion

This is the first book to unravel the half-truths about AIDS that some say have marred the study of the disease from the start. Tackling everything from alarmist statistics to the asserted African origin of AIDS, Gary Null gives both African and Western experts their say before presenting a new model for understanding this elusive and multifaceted illness. The one-cause, one-disease “virological” model, says Null, is obsolete and should be replaced with a more ecological, holistic, “immunological” paradigm of health and sickness. Drawing on his years of studying alternative and traditional medicine, Null dissects the claims of AZT and drug cocktail advocates and offers an array of treatments, including nutritional support and metabolic stabilization therapies, to broaden the options available to AIDS patients.
