House of Numbers


The other night I watched, 8: The Mormon Proposition. It’s a hard-hitting exposé of a shameful episode brought on by the Mormon Church.

Tonight I watched a much different documentary, House of Numbers: Anatomy of an Epidemic, which is a new film about Aids. It follows one young film maker as he discovers the ‘real’ science behind HIV. It discovers the reality of the antiretroviral drugs themselves causing the symptoms called Aids.

The HIV/ AIDS Story is Being Rewritten

House of Numbers: Anatomy of an Epidemic, is an AIDS film like no other.

This is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players; in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. House of Numbers could well be the opening volley in a battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic gone awry.

Its message is strong and clear: HIV doesn’t cause Aids.

It turns out that Aids is simply a spurious basket diagnosis invented to sell antiretroviral medication for a wide range of unrelated problems, and the drugs don’t really work.

The documentary’s claim is backed by 18 doctors and scientists who are interviewed for the film. At one point there is an extended sequence explaining that you can’t take a picture of the HIV virus: and explores how different scientists will disagree on how, and whether their method is best.





There is one part I found to be a little alarming, and that was when the film-maker manages to find a woman working in a kiosk located in a small but central shopping center in Africa giving HIV tests, who accidentally misinforms him about why she is asking for information on his health risk behaviors.

In the film, you discover that the HIV diagnosis is a tautology, — basket diagnosis for sick people of any kind who engage in risk behavior. We learn that the blood test are unreliable, and that a diagnosis may be made by merely asking the question:

“Are you gay, or do you inject drugs?”
There is an interview with Christine Maggiore, who talks about her difficult decision to go against medical advice by refusing Aids medication, medication, and how much better she felt as a result.


The documentary was disturbing in itself, notwithstanding calling these drug companies and scientist out for what they really are:
"complicit ‘aiders’ & abettors of egregious crimes against humanity."
I’ll take it a step further and say, if all the information here is truth, then these bastards should be hung for letting an infectious disease “run it’s course”, utilizing a "toxic fuel" as a form of cure.

They do not deserve to be given a quarter.

Directed by Brent Leung, a Canadian filmmaker, journeys from the highest echelons of the medical research establishment to the slums of South Africa, where death and disease are the order of the day and observes that although AIDS has been front-page news for over 29 years, it is barely understood. Despite the great effort, time, and money spent, no cure is in sight.

Brent’s restrained approach yields many surprising revelations and stunning contradictions.

There were a few parts in the documentary which had me questioning their research, but it also had me raising new questions:
Why are there global conflicting viewpoints from an unprecedented array of over 30 of the most prominent and influential figures in the field?
Why does the definition of AIDS change from country to country and over time? 
Why do esteemed scientists debate over the HIV virus? 
Why aren’t the HIV tests reliable globally? 
Why do the worldwide statistics differ?
You would think they there would be a consensus among these Nobel Laureates, the co-discoverers of HIV, Presidential advisors, and the former Executive Director of UNAIDS, as well as survivors.

Surprisingly, there isn’t.

The film does a great job offering it’s viewers candid conversations on several key points with the most prominent figures in the field, such as:

Professor Luc Montagnier MD — 2008 Nobel Prize winner for discovering the HIV virus

David Baltimore PhD — 1975 Nobel Prize winner

Kenneth Cole — Chairman of AMFAR

James Curran MD — who began his career with the CDC and HIV/AIDs research

Anthony S Fauci — Director of NIAID

Robert Gallo MD, PhD — co-discoverer of the HIV virus

Michael Gottlieb MD — credited as first doctor to diagnose AIDS

Peter Piot MD, PhD  — Director of Institute of Global Health and former Executive Director of UNAIDS.

Most kids have never known a world without it. But what is more shocking is that, with all this education, and the with all of its notoriety, the average person still does not know much about HIV and AIDS.


I actually had a neighbor asking me the other day, if smoking a cigarette after someone who has HIV, will give her AIDS.

If you don’t know the answer to that, then please Google it, and educate yourself.


House of Numbers is a multi-faceted project which crosses into five continents, and reveals a research establishment in disarray, and health policy gone tragically off course.
