Talking Nigger Invention: Beets & Garlic Cures AIDS!

S. African president backs criticized health minister

Activists, archbishop pan official who argues beets are AIDS cure


CAPE TOWN, South Africa - South Africa's president hailed his embattled health minister as a heroine and attacked her critics as "wild animals" in a remarkable display of support that dismayed AIDS activists demanding the dismissal of the woman who advocated beets and garlic as remedies for the disease.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel laureate often regarded as the moral conscience of the nation, weighed into the debate about South African AIDS policy by strongly criticizing the health ministry. In a speech late Friday, he called the ministry inefficient and said that it "has presided over the vast deterioration in health standards of our land."
Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang has been condemned at home and abroad for her unorthodox views on the AIDS virus, which has infected an estimated 5.4 million South Africans - the highest number for any country in the world.


At news conferences, she has made plain her mistrust of antiretroviral medicines, repeatedly espousing a diet heavy on garlic, beetroot, lemon and olive oil as more effective in treating HIV/AIDS.

The comments have earned her ridicule and the nicknames "Dr. Beetroot" and "Dr. Garlic."

South Africa's stand at the international AIDS conference in Canada last year included garlic and other foodstuffs, prompting international scientists to write an unprecedented joint letter of protest to President Thabo Mbeki.

For years, Mbeki has been accused of playing down the extent of the AIDS crisis, and he has steadfastly stood by his health minister.

But his weekly ANC Today online newsletter, published Friday, took his support to new heights.

Mbeki said history would honor the minister as "one of the pioneer architects of a South African public health system constructed to ensure that we achieve the objective of health for all our people, and especially the poor."

"In our tradition as the ANC, we do not normally celebrate our heroes and heroines publicly, such as Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, until they have died," he wrote, referring to the ruling African National Congress.

"Violating this tradition, I have now written about Manto Tshabalala-Msimang as I have because some, at home and abroad, who did nothing or very little to contribute to the immensely difficult and costly struggle to achieve our liberation, have chosen to sit as judges."

Mbeki and Tshabalala-Msimang, who have known each other for 45 years, went into exile from the apartheid government together in 1962.

The minister's husband is the treasurer of the African National Congress.

Tutu lamented that "too many died unnecessarily because of bizarre theories held on high," in a thinly veiled reference to the president and his health minister.

Tutu said that if they were alive today, the heroes and heroines killed in the anti-apartheid struggle would be shocked by the devastation of HIV/AIDS, which kills 900 South Africans - the equivalent of three jumbo jet crashes - every day.

"They would be distressed by the latest episodes in the saga of a Health Department that has been less than efficient and has presided over the vast deterioration in health standards of our land."

AIDS activists say Tshabalala-Msimang's promotion of untested remedies and her public pronouncements have led to confusion and have undermined confidence in scientific medicine.

Nathan Geffen, policy coordinator of the Treatment Action Campaign, said yesterday that the AIDS activist movement was undeterred and would continue to press for the health minister's dismissal. The movement has demanded Mbeki's response to its detailed reasons why she must be dismissed by Friday.

Geffen listed the minister's failings: the slow provision of drugs to prevent HIV-positive mothers' passing on the virus to their children; delays in giving treatment to people with AIDS; and her department's failure to provide proper levels of staffing and expertise.
"The failure to manage the HIV crisis has had a knock-on effect on the management of the entire health system," Geffen said, citing the spread of drug resistant TB - closely associated with AIDS - as an example.

Garlic is a strong antiviral and indicated in alternative healing protocols, so this isn't such a "discovery."

However, concurrent with any healing program is the concept that you also HAVE TO STOP DOING THE THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE DISEASE CONDITION.

Whatever your condition, you can't go on a program of herbs, vitamins, juicing, garlic, etc... and continue to consume white bread, soda, McDonalds and all the other processed, packaged chemical goodies from the supermarket.

In the same light, niggers can eat garlic and beets until it comes out of their ears but it won't do them any good if they continue to stick their dicks into the filthy orifices of every woman, man and child they see.

That's logic, but blacks are not capable of logic.

Garlic does prevent aids by helping to prevent you from having sex. Remember, there are no breath mints in Afreaka.
