AIDS, Opium, Diamonds and Empire by Nancy Turner Banks, M.D.

The Deadly Virus of International Greed

This 2010 book exposes the phantom fear named HIV which Turner Banks claims was invented (it’s an idea, not an entity) to mask the effects of allowing drugs, particularly crack cocaine, to flood deprived black and hispanic areas of the US, as well the sicknesses suffered by black workers in cheaply run, dust-filled diamond mines in South Africa.

$trillions have been given to Big Pharma by the tax payer to research HIV as well as in the ‘war’ on cancer. Toxic drugs, requiring more toxic drugs, the deaths of millions of people (and huge profits) have been the only results. Neither a ‘cure’, nor the realisation that there is no virus, will ever be tolerated by the establishment that profits from HIV/AIDS.

AIDS itself and ‘disease’ in general is an imbalance in the redox system in the body, particularly a lack of glutathione, the master antioxidant. The causes of the imbalance are easy to trace back to the industrial complex placing profits over humanity and everything else. Petrochemicals and green revolutions poisoning and depleting the soil, the destruction of the spirit of animals and workers in factory farming, processed meat, junk food, lack of fresh fruit, veg and sunlight, working conditions, medications, antimicrobial sprays, drugs, vaccines, disempowerment, poverty, war, colonialism, chronic stress and fear.

Speaking about the obvious ways to prevent disease is not encouraged by the establishment. Turner Banks’ book is a comprehensive, totally convincing, mind blowing, finely researched and very depressing book. However what I liked most about it was the author’s wisdom and positive conclusions.

‘As we cycle into the 21st Century, it is clear that the suppression of this knowledge (of the true causes of disease and our connectedness to each other and to the earth) is becoming less effective and is at the core of what is driving the onslaught of ever more successive future shocks designed to create more fear with the hope that people will collectively give up their freedoms and free will and will willingly submit to more vaccines, more drugs, more cameras, more prisons, more police, more intrusion into privacy, and more economic deprivation. But in the end, it is being done to create the illusion of separation.’

‘When you are able to change the state of fear for a state of unconditional love and acceptance, first and foremost of yourself, you become much more than a single, separate person. You become a permanent force that is released wherever you go, to ameliorate the terrible conditions that threaten not only your health but the health of the entire planet. Your life is an investment for every creature. No bear market or contrived war can threaten this investment. It increases through good fortune and bad, and nobody has to buy shares to get the dividends: they are distributed to all. You are inexhaustible: the more you give, the more you receive in patience, endurance, security, resilience, and love.’

Thanks for reading.
