Antibody hoax
This is the main plank of vaccine studies and vaccination
I'm absolutely sure that no antibody test in medicine has any absolute meaning. Especially in HIV antibody testing, it is clear that the antibodies that are detected in the test are present in everybody. Some people have them in higher concentrations, and some in lower concentrations, but only when you reach a very high level of antibodies -- much higher than in any other antibody testing -- are you considered to be "positive." This is a contradiction in terms because in other antibody tests, the lower your level of antibodies, the higher your risk for a symptomatic infection. But with HIV they say you are "positive" only when you have reached a very high level of antibodies. Below this level, you are said to be negative.

They are present only in people who are infected with the virus. Some people have them in higher concentrations, and some in lower concentrations, but only when you reach a very high level of antibodies -- much higher than in any other antibody testing -- are you considered to be "positive." Actually, not true. Please provide evidence that to be considered positive, the level of antibody testing is higher than in all other tests. contradiction in terms because in other antibody tests, the lower your level of antibodies, the higher your risk for a symptomatic infection. No it isn't. All the other tests do is indicate that you have been exposed to the virus or bacterium and are making antibody. With most viral infections, the body is able to clear the virus from the body. This is not true with HIV. So the antibody test just indicates that the body has been exposed to the virus. But with HIV they say you are "positive" only when you have reached a very high level of antibodies. Below this level, you are said to be negative. [1995] You are postive when you have reach a low-level of antibodies. A lot has been learned since 1995. Now, a test call PCR is done. PCR is able to replicate the RNA from the virus, making much easier to find the virus (not the antibodies) in a person. INTERVIEW STEFAN LANKA http://www.whale.to/vaccines/antibody.html I see you problem now. This site is a very unreliable site. The author is too ashamed to put her name on it. Don' blame her. She clearly has no clue about science or medicine. Jeff |

I put the term in quotes not because I disdain virologists but because I don't think he's worthy of the title. -- David Wright :: alphabeta at prodigy.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

This is the main plank of vaccine studies and vaccination I'm absolutely sure that no antibody test in medicine has any absolute meaning. Actually, they do. Its not a matter of antibody or no antibody; it's having elevated amounts of specific types of antibodies - antibodies which determine that an immune response has occurred. Now I know that John has no grasp of science, biology, medicine, virology and immunology, so I'll type slow so he can keep up Antibodies come in multiple "flavors", called isotypes. Each has a specific function. Antibody-producing cells (B cells) are continually produced by our immune system. B cells "create" antibodies through the random recombination of DNA followed by mutation of the resulting genetic sequences. Those cells which identify our body with high affinity are eliminated, the rest mature into B cells. Because this is a random process we will have B-cells which identify pretty much anything - including HIV. These new B-cells produce 2 very specific types of antibodies - IgM and IgD. As such the presence of these antibodies do not indicate the presence of an immune response. However, when B-cells become activated they undergo a process called class switch, and begin producing different isotypes of antibody - IgG, IgA & IgE, depending on the type of immune response and its location in your body. For the rest of its lifetime, even if/after the infection is cleared, these cells will continue to produce one of these isotypes of antibody. These forms of antibody - IgG, IgE and IgA are produced only AFTER you have had an immune response against the specific pathogen identified by those cells (or when you encounter a proxy antigen, in a vaccine). Hence, we know that if you detect these isoforms of antibodies against an infectious agent that you have been exposed to that agent. Of course Lanka failed to mention that, but given his background, and Johns continued dishonesty, no one here is surprised. Probably the last thing worth pointing out is that in developed nations, serological testing rarely used anymore. Far more sensitive and accurate tests, like PCR, are now the standard test (and a hell of a lot cheaper). Leave it to John to be a decade out of date. Bryan |
