AIM ImmunoTech Announces Addition of Single-Agent Ampligen Arm to Cancer Center's Ongoing Study in Cancer Patients with COVID-19 

OCALA, Fla., March 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) today announced that the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (Roswell Park) has approved a protocol amendment to Roswell Park's ongoing Phase 1/2a study evaluating the two-drug combination of AIM's Ampligen and interferon alpha-2b as a potential early-onset treatment for patients with cancer and mild-to-moderate COVID-19. The IRB-approved amendment calls for randomization of an additional twenty patients. Ten of these patients will receive a single dose of Ampligen, but no interferon treatment, and the other ten will receive best available care only. Ampligen alone has a generally well-tolerated safety profile with lower risk of adverse events than is generally expected with interferon therapy. "We are excited to see Ampligen tested not only as part of an antiviral treatment combination for COVID-19 among cancer patients, but also as a possible standalone therapy for this terrible virus," said AIM CEO Thomas K. Equels. "An early-onset treatment is especially critical for cancer patients, who face significantly increased risk of severe symptoms or death."

K.S. and HHV-8 question to Perplexity

-
  Is the real issue the definition of what is K.S.? In other words, if the definition of K.S. is broadened to include all kinds of vascular lesions, even subacute ones, the likelihood that they were not associated with HHV-8 would increase, right? Yes, the definition of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is central to whether HHV-8 (KSHV) is always found in these lesions. Currently, KS is specifically defined as a low-grade vascular tumor (neoplasm) that is characteristically associated with HHV-8 infection. This association is now so strong that detection of HHV-8 (often by immunohistochemistry for the LANA-1 protein or by PCR) is often used to confirm the diagnosis of KS and distinguish it from other vascular lesions. If the definition of KS were broadened to include all kinds of vascular tumors or lesions—even ones that are not neoplastic or truly malignant, such as benign vascular proliferations, subacute inflammatory lesions, or other non-HHV-8–related conditions—the likelihood of finding ...

" A new study finds that prior herpesvirus infections are linked to a faster age-related increase in blood biomarkers associated with dementia, even in cognitively healthy women. Researchers measured five key biomarkers in 167 women and found that seropositivity for HHVs doubled the rate of biomarker accumulation compared to those without prior infection. The strongest viral associations were seen for Epstein-Barr virus and HHV6, with amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau levels most affected. These findings support the hypothesis that chronic viral infections may accelerate neurodegeneration and raise dementia risk independently of genetic factors."

Perplexity looks at a challenging paradigm shift for AIDS and K.S.

-
  From Perplexity A.I . Make the case that the scientists who did autopsies on the first AIDS patients and found internal Kaposi's Sarcoma in all of them regardless of risk group, may have found out something that could one day change the nosology and causation theory of AIDS if scientists want to go back to the nosological (and epidemiological) drawing board and rethink the AIDS paradigm. Rethinking AIDS Nosology: The Implications of Early Autopsy Findings Introduction The initial autopsy studies on AIDS patients in the early 1980s, notably those identifying internal Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) across various risk groups, presented findings that may still have profound implications for our understanding of AIDS. These data, often overshadowed by the viral causation narrative, could challenge and potentially expand the current nosological and etiological frameworks for AIDS if revisited with modern scientific approaches. The Significance of Early Autopsy Findings Internal Kaposi'...

Is HIV/AIDS a scientific Ponzi scheme?

-
 From Perplexity A.I. Make the argument that a scientific theory which is maintained by only publishing research that supports it becomes a kind of de facto Ponzi scheme. The Argument: When Science Mimics a Ponzi Scheme Introduction A scientific theory is expected to survive rigorous scrutiny from the full spectrum of evidence—supportive, neutral, and contradictory. However, when a theory is sustained only by publishing research that affirms it while suppressing or ignoring contrary evidence, it risks behaving less like authentic science and more like a de facto Ponzi scheme in principle. Structural Parallels 1. Information Filtering and Dependency In a Ponzi scheme, early investors are paid returns using the capital of newer investors, not from real profits. The scheme’s sustainability depends on the continuous recruitment of more believers and suppression of inconvenient information. Similarly, if researchers or institutions publish only positive findings for a given theory, the ...

Consciousness of Guilt in Science and Medicine (From Perplexity A.I.)

-
  Develop the idea that there is something in science and medicine called "consciousness of fraud" (like consciousness of guilt) and list the telltale signs that a scientist is inadvertently showing it. The concept of "consciousness of fraud" in science and medicine parallels legal "consciousness of guilt," reflecting subtle behavioral and linguistic cues that betray a researcher's awareness of misconduct. These involuntary signs manifest through writing patterns, methodological choices, and professional behavior, often revealing attempts to conceal fabricated or manipulated data. Below are key telltale signs, synthesized from empirical studies and expert analyses of scientific fraud: 🔍 Linguistic and Writing Patterns Obfuscation in Language: Fraudulent papers use significantly more jargon, abstract terms, and complex phrasing to obscure methods or results. This "linguistic masking" aims to deter scrutiny, with fraudulent texts containing ~1...

We asked Perplexity A.I. to make the argument that Castleman's Disease undermines the nosology, epidemiology, and virology of AIDS.

-
 From Perplexity A.I. Make the argument that Castleman's Disease undermines the nosology, epidemiology, and virology of AIDS. Castleman disease, particularly its HIV-associated multicentric form (HIV-MCD), challenges core paradigms in AIDS medicine across nosology, epidemiology, and virology. Below is a detailed analysis of how this rare lymphoproliferative disorder complicates established frameworks. 🧬 Nosological Challenges HIV-MCD disrupts traditional AIDS classification by: Blurring diagnostic boundaries: It exhibits inflammatory symptoms (e.g., fever, cytopenia) and histopathology (plasmablastic proliferation) that overlap with—but are distinct from—classic AIDS-defining conditions like lymphoma or opportunistic infections. Dual-pathogen dynamics: Diagnosis requires confirming HHV-8 co-infection, positioning it as a viral co-pathogenesis rather than a direct HIV complication. This contrasts with AIDS nosology, which typically centers on HIV as the primary etiological agent. U...

If one studies all the medical literature on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS, what viruses, infections, and pathological findings do they have in common? (From Perplexity)

 From Perplexity A.I. If one studies all the medical literature on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS, what viruses, infections, and pathological findings do they have in common? If one studies all the medical literature on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS, what viruses, infections, and pathological findings do they have in common? When reviewing the medical literature on  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ME)  and  AIDS  (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), several  viruses, infections, and pathological findings  are noted to overlap, though the diseases have distinct etiologies and clinical courses. Viruses and Infections in Common Herpesviruses:  Both conditions are associated with increased prevalence or reactivation of herpesviruses, notably  Cytomegalovirus (CMV)  and  Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) . In AIDS, CMV is a common opportunistic infection, while in CFS, studies have found higher odd...

HHV-6 in K.S. and AIDS

-
  From Perplexity Make the case that HHV-6 plays an underestimated role in Kaposi's Sarcoma and should be taken more seriously in AIDS. The Underestimated Role of HHV-6 in Kaposi's Sarcoma: A Compelling Case for Recognition in AIDS Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) represents one of the most underappreciated cofactors in AIDS pathogenesis, particularly in its relationship to Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Despite mounting evidence demonstrating its significant impact on HIV disease progression and cancer development, HHV-6 remains relegated to secondary consideration compared to other opportunistic pathogens. This neglect represents a critical gap in our understanding and management of AIDS-related malignancies. Direct Evidence of HHV-6's Role in Kaposi's Sarcoma Pathogenesis The most compelling evidence for HHV-6's underestimated role comes from experimental studies demonstrating its direct interaction with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV-8), the establ...

If the nosological definition of AIDS is reset to include all illnesses with serious inflammation regardless of HIV positivity or status, what illnesses could be included in the nosology of AIDS?

-
From Perplexity A.I. If the nosological definition of AIDS is reset to include all illnesses with serious inflammation regardless of HIV positivity or status, what illnesses could be included in the nosology of AIDS? If the nosological definition of AIDS were changed to include all illnesses with serious inflammation regardless of HIV positivity or status, the category would expand dramatically beyond its current, precise meaning. AIDS is currently defined by the presence of HIV infection leading to profound immunodeficiency and a specific set of opportunistic infections and cancers. Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of untreated HIV/AIDS, but it is not unique to it. If “AIDS” were redefined as any illness with serious inflammation, the following types of illnesses could be included: Autoimmune diseases: These are characterized by chronic, often severe inflammation due to the body’s immune system attacking its own tissues. Examples include: Rheumatoid arthritis Systemic lupus erythema...

Ablashi discusses HHV-6, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

-

"HHV-6 is actually likely to reduce HIV patient survival by accelerating the depletion of CD4 and CD8 T cells. HHV-6A was shown to accelerate AIDS progression in macaques.  Macaques co-infected with simian HIV and HHV-6A died quickly and showed a dramatic depletion in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, whereas those infected with only simian HIV never progressed to full blown AIDS."  "We believe that infections are the most logical explanation for the inflammation neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s , but don’t believe that there is a single pathogen responsible. HHV-6A and HHV-7 were identified as likely culprits in 2018 paper , using RNAseq analysis by Readhead and team. Two subsequent studies did not find an increase in HHV-6/7 using the same data, but at the same time did not find a significant presence of ANY herpesviruses in the brain, which we know is not the case. Dozens of careful studies have identified a high prevalence of low-level HHV-6 and HSV1 DN...

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7045278/ Our prior reporting on African Swine Fever ASF contaminated meat not entirely safe Besides, ASF-contaminated food could not be entirely safe for humans. “According to the latest research, though the virus is not dangerous to humans, there are documented reactions [of human bodies to ASF] in the form of production of antibodies against it. This indicates an ASF attempt to infect the body and the possibility of a serious weakening of the immune system,” Pavlov said. From 2018 ASF Russia: consumers want liability for sellers of contaminated meat (pigprogress.net) African Swine Fever is a big story already because, when and if it spreads to all of Western Europe and China, it will cause the collapse of a major portion of the agricultural export economies of the affected countries.
