THE AIDS ENIGMA not go on to show clinical signs of the disease, although 7 years have now elapsed. Also that HIV infected chimpanzees usually after becoming seropositive later reverted to seronegative. Further, only the T4 cells in the animals were invaded, not the macrophages, which as Segal points out, appears to indicate that the classical symptoms of AIDS in humans are due to the infection of the macrophages, rather than to the destruction of the T4 cells. Other AIDS researchers support Segal's findings at this time. One of those mentioned is Falk, 1989, who stated that: "......imme - diate damage to the organs is caused by the macrophages direct - ly, and not over the roundabout route via the immune system". Which if proved correct raises the very important question - is the term AIDS now fully supportable as an appropriate description -f4abt. at.2.2.9 nomenon. When mainstream research scientists become aware that pleo- morphistic basic protein particles exist in the bloodstreams of all living beings, just awaiting to rear their ugly and dangerous heads when the immune systems become compromised, as pathogenic microbes, the whole house of bacteriological and virological 'pac of cards' falls to the ground in a totally embarrassing manner! So is it any wonder that little by little, when the body is subject- ed to all the "insults" we have just mentioned, coupled up with all the special problems of Third World countries, ie starvation, mal- nutrition, poor living standards, hygiene etc., plus immoderate intakes of animal protein in Western affluent societies, whic shifts the acid/alkaline balance of the blood, that the immune response is gradually lowered to dangerous levels. Another factor which contributes to a compromised immune system, is a lack of ascorbate circulating within the body. Enoug Vitamin C must be ingested on a daily basis to cope with all the "insults" which surround us living on this polluted planet.

It seems that as Professor Peter Duesberg states, they have got it all wrong! He points out that in his opinion HIV is not in enough concen- tration T-Cell wise to be the single causal factor! Upon this point I think it is appropriate, indeed necessary, to mention a Prof. Dr. Jakob Segal, an AIDS researcher from Germany. I do not wish to take out of context material from Dr. Segal's impending paper on a new role model for the AIDS dis- ease, but I think for any AIDS researchers who read this article, it may be important. In Prof. Segal's summary of the soon to be published full work on AIDS, titles "Aids-Cell Physiology, Pathology and Therapy" I found it very interesting that he relates that in 1986, 29 out of 36 chimpanzees infected with HIV, while developing antibodies did As Prof. Segal points out, macrophages instead of being thought of as merely passive receptors of HIV, may instead turn out to be the primary foci of infection. He states "Macrophages have rela - tively few CD4 receptors and therefore infection spreads more slowly if the multiplication of HIV takes place in the macrophages and not in the T4 cells. So we see that an incubation period of sev - eral weeks fully corresponds with what we know about the condi - tions of reproduction of HIV, ie., no special conditions seem to be required". In my own theoretical model, in the context of my article, I find it very significant that chimpanzees for example, do not appear to develop HIV symptoms after becoming seropositive, by deliberate NEXUS - 17 realise that pleomorphistic micro-organisms are indeed a real phe- IS IT THEN MERE COINCIDENCE THAT THESE SAME TWO - COUNTRIES HAVE THE JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1992 - YEAR BOOK
