I don't know why the blog mater is not interested in posting some more relative information. I request the blog mater to add some more content to this great blog. I shall link from my blogs to this blog soon. Regarding all about HIV, HIV virus, HIV infection, HIV medicine, Holistic HIV treatment and complete cure of HIV. I was simply wondering why we can't find some thing useful in this direction. Since HIV and its treatment is an important issue or information we need more specific information on this subject. I have found a nice informative guide on HIV from following URL http://www.removed.url This guide deals with How to Cure HIV Through herbal medicines and Holistic Treatment. HIV will be destroyed and soon the body will start to gain weight. All symptoms will be subsided and CD4 count will be back to the normal. All opportunistic diseases will be cursed as well. You can verify the guide by downloading that for free. For this site. I dreamt of a HIV free world after reading this guide. Hope that you will add more free information to the comment boxes to let other people read about these interesting subjects. God bless you all- Name Witheld" I don't even know where to start with tearing a strip off this crap, which touts homeopathic and herbal AIDS remedies. Quite amazing.

More than one hundred Nobel laureates have written to Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi to express their concern over the death-penalty case of five Bulgarian nurses, and a Palestinian doctor, accused of deliberately infecting more than 400 children with HIV in 1998. The letter will be published online this week in Nature. The 114 laureates affirm the need to ensure a fair trial, and for the appropriate authorities to permit evidence from internationally recognized AIDS experts to be used in this case. It notes that: “Strong scientific evidence is needed to establish the cause of this infection. However, independent science-based evidence from international experts has so far not been permitted in court.” Declan Butler just emailed to alert me to a new development in this case.

See http://declanbutler.info/blog/ for recent actions, and a resource page for help with actions that can be taken: http://declanbutler.info/blog/libya.htm And this is a message I received from Emmanuel Altit, the head of the international defence team: "This is exactly what we, the international lawyers of the five Bulgarian nurses and the Palestinian medic need: strong support from the media, scientists, politicians, heads of companies, communities and international public opinion. We need to raise public awareness in order to put the Libyan Authorities under pressure and thereby change the balance of power." Andrew

The scapegoats making, esp. those made with absurd reasons, oftentimes implies some real murderers are under protection. To save the innocents it is inevitable that the real criminals be found out. Diplomacy can do less on developing countries as the global situation growing into 21st century, the recent case of North Korea typifying this trend. Leaders of these countries don't judge their rightness by whether the States or the EU gives 'a red-carpet treatments' to them (<i>Nature</i> <b>443</b>, 245-246). Something more practical should be done, wisely, if our goal is JUST saving the innocents. I think the first side to blame is the Libya government rather than scientists from the rest of the world.
