Magic Johnson accused of "faking AIDS"
So, some talk show host apparently has some reason to believe that Magic might have pretended to fake AIDS. First of all, Magic Johnson never had an AIDS diagnosis, as he never met the criteria. He simply tested positive for HIV. Second, the host said that he would have been "the only cured AIDS guy ever." This is not true, there are many of these people. They are simply called "Long Term Non-Progressors" or "Elite Controllers" or even, get this..."Highly Exposed Persistently Seronegative."

The vilification of fruit
There are those people who for one reason or another have found themselves investing great amount of time into learning about nutrition and diet. For some it is a search for health and reversal of disease. For others it is prevention and thinking ahead. And sometimes it is just simple curiosity. The question remains, how did we collectively stray away from the very simple concept of "eat your fruits and vegetables?"

Setting it straight: The difference between HIV and AIDS
There is a great deal of confusion in terms of what is actually being debated by the dissidents. They are often accused of being "AIDS denialists" for instance. This is a common misnomer. If there is anything that is being questioned it isn't AIDS. It is HIV. I will, in the following lines, attempt to clarify the confusion. What we will find in fact, is that the ones who are in denial are the AIDS fanatics who deny the need to isolate and purify HIV to prove it exists.
