【醫學】AIDS & HIV

「愛滋病」與「HIV」?這會是個利益、政治優先,科學、倫理其次的大騙局嗎?
以下是兩部由Brent Leung執導的紀錄片,受訪的專家很明顯都不是泛泛之輩:
  1. 《House of Numbers: Anatomy of an Epidemic》(2009)

    • 大陸有人翻譯成《解析愛滋病》
    • IMDB上的劇情概要:
      "What is HIV? What is AIDS? What is being done to cure it? These questions sent Canadian filmmaker Brent Leung on a worldwide journey, from the highest echelons of the medical research establishment to the slums of South Africa, where death and disease are the order of the day. In this up-to-the-minute documentary, he observes that although AIDS has been front-page news for over 28 years, it is barely understood. Despite the great effort, time, and money spent, no cure is in sight. Born in 1980 (on the cusp of the epidemic), Leung reveals a research establishment in disarray, and health policy gone tragically off course. Gaining access to a remarkable array of the most prominent and influential figures in the field -- among them the co-discoverers of HIV, presidential advisors, Nobel laureates, and the Executive Director of UNAIDS, as well as survivors and activists -- his restrained approach yields surprising revelations and stunning contradictions. The HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten, and this is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players -- in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. If, as South African health advocate Pephsile Maseko remarks, "this is the beginning of a war...a war to reclaim our health," then House of Numbers could well be the opening salvo in the battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic clearly gone awry." Written by Knowledge Matters, LLC
  2. 《The Emperors New Virus? - An Analysis of the Evidence for the Existence of HIV》(2011)
    • 影片連結:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQFxratWh7E

    • 擅自翻譯:《國王的病毒:HIV存在證據的分析》
    • 影片說明:"The Emperor's New Virus?" is a supplementary follow-up to the award winning documentary, House of Numbers. It takes an in-depth look at the scientific evidence surrounding the existence of HIV.
    • 非常鉅細靡遺地質疑諾貝爾獎得主Luc Montagnier以來的HIV實驗。
    • 這部影片順便詳細介紹許多病毒學的實驗技術!

說明:

【學醫】「大醫精誠」

唐 孫思邈《備急千金要方.論大醫精誠第二》

張湛曰︰夫經方之難精,由來尚矣。今病有內同而外異,亦有內異而外同,故五臟六腑之盈虛,血脈榮衛之通塞,固非耳目之所察,必先診候以審之。而寸口關尺有浮沉弦緊之亂,穴流注有高下淺深之差,肌膚筋骨有濃薄剛柔之異,唯用心精微者,始可與言於茲矣。今以至精至微之事,求之於至粗至淺之思,其不殆哉!若盈而益之,虛而損之,通而徹之,塞而壅之,寒而冷之,熱而溫之,是重加其疾而望其生,吾見其死矣。故醫方卜筮,藝能之難精者也。既非神授,何以得其幽微。世有愚者,讀方三年,便謂天下無病可治;及治病三年,乃知天下無方可用。故學人必須博極醫源,精勤不倦,不得道聽途說,而言醫道已了,深自誤哉。

凡大醫治病,必當安神定志,無欲無求,先發大慈惻隱之心,誓願普救含靈之苦。若有疾厄來求救者,不得問其貴賤貧富,長幼妍媸,怨親善友,華夷愚智,普同一等,皆如至親之想。亦不得瞻前顧後,自慮吉凶,護惜身命,見彼苦惱,若己有之,深心淒愴,勿避險巇,晝夜寒暑,飢渴疲勞,一心赴救,無作功夫形跡之心。如此可為蒼生大醫。反此則是含靈巨賊。自古名賢治病,多用生命以濟危急,雖曰賤畜貴人,至於愛命,人畜一也。損彼益己,物情同患,況於人乎?夫殺生求生,去生更遠,吾今此方,所以不用生命為藥者,良由此也。

其虻蟲、水蛭之屬,市有先死者,則市而用之,不在此例。只如雞卵一物,以其混沌未分,必有大段要急之處,不得已隱忍而用之,能不用者,斯為大哲亦所不及也。其有患瘡痍下痢,臭穢不可瞻視,人所惡見者,但發慚愧、淒憐、憂恤之意,不得起一念蒂芥之心,是吾之志也。

夫大醫之體,欲得澄神內視,望之儼然,寬裕汪汪,不皎不昧,省病診疾,至意深心,詳察形候,纖毫勿失,處判針藥,無得參差。雖曰病宜速救,要須臨事不惑,唯當審諦覃思,不得於性命之上,率爾自逞俊快,邀射名譽,甚不仁矣。又到病家,縱綺羅滿目,勿左右顧眄,絲竹湊耳,無得似有所娛,珍饈迭薦,食如無味,醽醁兼陳,看有若無。所以爾者,夫一人向隅,滿堂不樂,而況病患苦楚,不離斯須,而醫者安然歡娛,傲然自得,茲乃人神之所共恥,至人之所不為,斯蓋醫之本意也。

夫為醫之法,不得多語調笑,談謔喧嘩,道說是非,議論人物,炫耀聲名,訾毀諸醫,自矜己德。偶然治瘥一病,則昂頭戴面,而有自許之貌,謂天下無雙,此醫人之膏肓也。老君曰︰人行陽德,人自報之;人行陰德,鬼神報之。人行陽惡,人自報之;人行陰惡,鬼神害之。尋此二途,陰陽報施豈誣也哉。所以醫人不得恃己所長,專心經略財物,但作救苦之心,於冥運道中,自感多福者耳。又不得以彼富貴,處以珍貴之藥,令彼難求,自炫功能,諒非忠恕之道。志存救濟,故亦曲碎論之。學者不可恥言之鄙俚也。
