Now it seems very suspicious why such common established knowledge wasn't applied to humans, but for 50 years, the cure for gastric ulcers in animals was a spercific antibiotic and peptobismol. They knew in the veterinary industry that ulcers in pigs were caused by a bacteria called helicobacterpilory and of course they couldn't get one of these high-prices stomach surgeons from Mayo Clinic, (in fact, they used to yell, "Hold the Mayo" when they would say stuff like that), and otherwise your pork chops would be $275 a pound to pay for that kind of surgery. They learned that with a trace mineral called bismuth and the tetracycline antibiotic that they could prevent and cure those stomach ulcers in pigs without surgery. And so that's what they veterinary industry did. Costs $5 to cure a pig of stomach ulcers with bismuth, a trace mineral, and tetracycline. The pharmaceutical industry, scientists withheld this information only so they could make money on antacids, mostly by expensive prescription medications. Scientists knew what caused ulcers in farm animals knowing the cure was antibiotics and pepto bismol.
I suspect the same with HIV/AIDS. There's also quite a bit of literature on selenium, and interestingly there are trials being done by a PHD doctor out of Canada (Dr. Harold Foster) on using selenium and select amino acids. These form a substance in the body called glutathione peroxidase. The theory goes the entire glutathione reductase system collapses when certain persistant viruses that encode for glutathione come into the picture. When the body senses less selenium, cysteine, glutamine and tryptophan it limits white blood cell production. It's an involved topic but google harald foster and what really causes aids. Or google cal crilly hiv

What does this all have to do with climate change? I suppose other members on the board could rattle off a dozen other examples but mine are just a couple examples of how scientists will abuse the system for their own financial means.
