Summary: Accessible science
Comment: A very interesting and readable history of the science behind HIV and the AIDS epidemic. Despite a previous customer review suggesting the contrary, Dr. Montagnier clearly explains (and supports) the linkage between HIV and AIDS. He also presents this very complex virus in a language that most people can understand. Anyone interested in AIDS and the public/scientific response to it should read this book.

Rating: 3
Summary: I convinced AIDS is not caused by HIV reading this book.
Comment: Read this book with a critical mind after reading Inventing the AIDS virus.You'll find that Montaigner supports some statements incompatible with the official AIDS theory.Lots of people says that Montaigner is an AIDS hortodox ONLY because he does not want to lose his funds.Ten years ago he said that HIV was not enough to provoke AIDS.If you're HIV+ or have AIDS,read to the heterodoxes and think.IS THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE.Don't forget the escurvy or the pelagra case:The medical stablishment spent decades saying that there were infectious diseases,killing thousands of patients. If you're learning english,don't trust on this text,I'm not a native english speaker.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Principle Speaks
Comment: Rarely does one have the opportunity to to read the candid history of a compelling real-life story told by one of the principles, Dr. Luc Montagnier. Here is the step-by-step and blow-by-blow of the unpeeling of the hidden cause of the most catastrophic virus to attack modern humanity--told by its discoverer! And here also the author tells the whole story of his efforts to accord to himself his rightful position as discoverer of this virus, and of Gallo, the usurper who tried to steal it away, masking his devious acts with scientific charades! The news media ran with this story for many months, but here, now, is the whole truth.

The author gives a compelling history of his life, gives a clinic on the disease, and foretells much of what to expect as this disease ravages humankind. He also comments on the current state of medical treatments, and notes with some degree of alacrity that a vaccine will probably not be the ultimate solution. However, he does subscibe to a brighter future, but only if all nations, large and small, rich and poor would pool their efforts to educate all humans to take precautions, to live within the presence of AIDS, and to ultimately outlast it.

I found this personal account to be compelling, of heroic proportions, told in a reasoned, quiet manner, when one could honestly scream at the foul acts to be confronted. Here is a person deserving of the highest honors we could bestow upon a member of our race, a true human hero.
