Armenicum

[TJ]

I hope most of you have heard of Armenicum by now, it was basically touted as a wonder drug when it came out. It is reported that hundreds of AIDS and HIV infected people went to Armenia to receive treatment and there were interviews with them online where they were basically saying how it brought them back from the brink. It was all over the Armenian and CIS media but I recently remembered it and was searching online, what im puzzled at is that there seems to be no major news about it in the past 4 years and it seems the hubbub has died down. I was curious if you guys have heard anything about it recently.

No but I REALLY thought this thread was about... um... something else...

Edit: http://ad2004.com/Biblecodes/Hebrewm...rmenicum2.html

How come this isn't getting more publicity? Could it be because the pharmasotical companies make more money by constantly treating than giving a one time cure? No, the world is much more noble than thta... right?

What a shame too. If ANYTHING would raise the Armenian status in the world it would be that we cured AIDs.

well the thing is its not one time and neither is it a cure, what i read is that it boosts your immune system greatly rather than actually fighting the virus.

Interesting topic. I've had many bursts of sporadic Armenicum researches, but have never found anything conclusive in order to really know what the deal with it is. I remember a while back, I had come across a site that had archived all the news articles related to Armenicum, but they were all rather old, and I don't know what site it was.

Out of pure coincidence, a1plus had an article about Armenicum today (with its notoriously beautiful english).

“ARMENIKUM” RAISING IMMUNITY

”There is no medicine to completely treat AIDS”, Norayr Davidyan, Armenian Health Care Minister answered the question about “Armenikum” at a press conference in National Press Club. According to him, “Armenikum” is a remedy for prolonging life and it is still under registration.

Lars Olof Kallings, UN Secretary General’s Commissioner on AIDS/HIV in Eastern Europe says that “Armenikum” must not be mixed up with anti-retrovirus remedies. “Anti-retrovirus remedies influence on a virus while “Armenikum” raises immunity”, he said.

Now anti-retrovirus treatment is not applied in Armenia because of being expensive. According to Samvel Grigoryan, Director of Republican Centre of AIDS Prophylaxis, beginning from February 1, 2005, such a cure will be used for 20 HIV-carriers. Treatment remedies will be imported by the means of World Vision and International Development Agency.

As to “Armenikum”, Grigoryan said probability of having a healthy child makes 60-75% after attending a course of treatment. This was the response to the question if the child of Nikolai Kolesnikov will be born healthy. Let’s remind that “Armenikum” was advertised thanks to Kolesnikov.

America has the cure for AIDs. The reason could quite possible be is to set up many more AIDs charities and milk the homosexuals of their money. Many famous actors are Homosexuals, and therefore, give a lot to charity, primarily for AIDs. This could be a fantastic conspiracy which I believe, because we all know they want tomake money.

The world? Noble? Naaaah.

And just a sort of a tangent...it involves the topic of a recent presentation I prepared...

I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but there are people out there (mostly of Northern European decent) who have natural resistance to HIV infection due to a genetic defect. This defect consists of a 32 base pair deletion on chromosome 3 which prevents the proper production of a certain coreceptor necessary for HIV to enter the CD4 T cell. So, it's like having the key to a door without a lock.

Why I brought this up...

This genetic defect is one of many ways in which to battle HIV/AIDS, yet nothing has come up yet.

It's been a while, and conspiracy theory or not, I think that it is VERY likely that a cure or stronger form of treatment exists, but is not available to the population since it's not financially profitable.

Or just another biological weapon.
