Product Description
There are many well-established scientific reasons that the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is highly doubtful. In Science Sold Out, Rebecca Culshaw describes her slow uncovering of these reasons over her years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interaction with the immune system. It is rare that a researcher who has received funding to study HIV ever expresses any doubt in the paradigm, and an even rarer event still when she abandons the field altogether. This book focuses on the changing definition of AIDS and the flaws in all HIV testing. In a much broader sense, it explains how the current, government-based structure of scientific research has corrupted science as the search for truth. It offers not only scientific reasons for HIV/AIDS being untenable, but also sociological explanations as to how the theory was accepted by the media and the world so quickly. In particular, this book offers a scathing criticism of the outrageous discriminatory measures that have been leveled at HIV-positives from the inception. |

Scientific truth speaks to dogma 
This is a story about a math grad student who did her thesis on AIDS/HIV and discovered that there is no science behind the entire paradigm! She now is a math prof at Austin, but she has quit taking money to study HIV/AIDS in disgust.

The most important is to not stop questioning(Albert Einstein)
This is a very concise book about the HIV disclosure. The author made a very strong case against the propaganda of the "hypothetical" causative agent of AIDS. One of the most interesting points that the author highlighted is that our genome is 45% endogenous retroviruses. These viruses are latent and could be activated under varieties of conditions. I do recommend readers to read carefully the evidences that author attacked to support her point before accepting/rejecting her conclusions. I have enjoyed reading this book although I am not working on HIV; the logic of analyzing and criticizing the supporting results of HIV story are very persuasive. Many reviewers of this book attack the author irrationally; personal attack is not valid criticism!, remember that the author herself is a PhD holder on the topic of HIV and immune system. Holding different opinion or providing a different theory is really something very healthy for the scientific community. Above all the main goal of medical science is to provide solutions for medical problems to help the patients. I highly recommend reading this book to everyone interested in science.

Too much emotion. Too few facts. 
This book is very disturbing. Its disturbing there are people who will read this book and make decisions about their health because of it. Living with HIV and even AIDS is reality for lots of people today, and this kind of pseudo-science doesn't make it any easier for them. Alot of people also don't have a science education to know they are being deceived by HIV deniers who "sound" like scientists.
If you want good information you go to an expert. This author is not an expert. The "detailed scientific jargon" another reviewer talks about in this book isn't even used right by the author. She is a mathematician. She is not a biologist or a doctor. She substitutes strong emotions and shrill language about this subject for good reasoning and facts. I am a scientist myself and I don't know how she gets so much wrong in such a small book.
Please if you want accurate information about HIV look somewhere else. An amateur who knows just enough to screw up the facts royally is not a reliable source.

Science Sell Out 
This book scares me. I read this book for a class and I will have to say that it has the potential to be quite dangerous to those who are in some way affected by HIV/AIDS and are seeking some sort of hope. With the use of mathematical figures and detailed scientific jargon, the author has created what appears to be a valid proposition--that contains half an argument. In an attempt to break the connection between HIV and AIDS, Culshaw has done little more than discuss the weaknesses of the HIV/AIDS correlation. However, it must be pointed out that Culshaw herself does say that there is no current understanding of AIDS which leads me to believe that her theory is based on what she does not understand. Overall, the book is skeptical at best and relies too heavily on repetitious points, mathematical figures, and scientific jargon that does little more than confuse and possibly impress readers. After reading the book I was left with a sense of discontent because I felt that the only thing she truly proved was that there is still a lot of research left to be done in the fields of HIV and AIDS--which should come to a shock to no one. I believe that the book is a bit reckless in its presentation of "fact" and "fiction," especially coming from a member of the scientific community. I would not recommend this book, but if you read it please approach it with caution.

Essential reading
A great follow up to Peter Duesbergs "Inventing The Aids Virus" or as an eye opener for the uninitiated. This book is well researched and easy to read with some great insights and facts to show how ridiculous the HIV/AIDS hypothesis really is. She goes on to say that the HIV/AIDS juggernaut has become so big and powerful that there may be no way to stop it. I sincerely hope she is wrong about that, but it will not be easy.
