    Yes, the pharmaceutical industry capitalizes on all epidemic diseases.
This does not, however, mean that diseases do not exist.

    The HIV virus is well documented world-wide, historically back to 1959.
There is no question as to the existence of this virus and its nature.

    The interactions among nutrition, immunology and general human health
relating to HIV and AIDS are subjects for debate and investigation. there is
no vast conspiracy to profit from the invention of a false HIV virus. It is
very real and its effects are very real.

    It's important to separate the real from the fantasy, by examining the
evidence. Rationality is our only defense in the face of fantasy.
