Treatment in Bali, Indonesia?
« on: October 20, 2009, 01:11:27 am »
Hi

I goggled for "Bali" after i read the book 'Eat, Pray and Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. Famous healers and miraculous cure.

This is something that i found.

http://74.6.146.127/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&p=indonesia+%22cure%22+%22HIV%22&rd=r1&fr=yfp-t-101&u=www.naturalcuresforhiv.com/&w=indonesia+cure+hiv&d=R2w_50xISyxs&icp=1&.intl=sg

I've contacted the webmaster by the name of Robert Chester and he told me that I will be cured after the treatment as long as I follow exactly the doc's instructions. Too good to be true?

Just wanna share this piece of info

Thanks :P

Too good to be true?

That's taken from this website:

"Contrary to popular belief, AIDS is not new and is not a disease. AIDS is a new name given by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to a collection of 29 familiar illnesses and conditions including yeast infection, herpes, diarrhea, some pneumonias, certain cancers, salmonella, and tuberculosis. These illnesses are called AIDS only when they occur in a person who also has protective disease fighting proteins or antibodies that are thought to be associated with HIV."

Other than being total denialist bullshit it's NOT legal to enter Indonesia if you're HIV positive. How fun it would be for the authority to just go in there and round up all the foreign participants for convenient deportation.

(Modified to Add)

Echolad - I notice that you're from Singapore and 3 out of 4 posts of you so far are all about those voodoo alternative/denialist "healing". Are you even HIV positive? What are you doing here?

Echolad, that link sounds more like a spa weekend than a cure for anything other than stress.  :-[

Hey Echolad, I wish you didn't have it too.

I guess it's considered good etiquette to give a little intro about yourself before posting in the forums. Not necessary, but it would stop folks like me that can be a pain up the butt to ask that "are you positive" question...

The website you linked here is obviously a denialist site, regarding of what they sell. I am sure a week of massages and good foods in Bali can do me some good, but it's not a cure. By the way, denialists mean people that don't accept the science of HIV causing AIDS; and what concerns me more is that Indonesia is still a very conservative country. I am sure a lot of us HIV folks still travel there for pleasure, business, etc, the fact is the country bans our entry, and there is this "clinic" openly offering "cure" to foreigners who should not be there legally?

To me, the real tragedy is that you actually believe in this and even posed the question to the rest of us on the board. 

This is just a suggestion, but you ought to consider educating yourself on your HIV-positive status and what that means, because it's obvious you don't have a clue what it's doing to your body.  For starters, there's a wealth of information on this site - so, you don't even need to buy a book, just start with the headers at the top of the homepage "All About HIV" and "Treatment."
Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
