Some Food Grains

But which food grains?? Aye! There's the rub! (Flour?)

kana_machi_vo_vo, a Yahoo!Chat user managed to weed through the fogginess of his (or her?) brain and venture into the usual HIV/AIDS chat room in Yahoo! Messenger. First thing it said was, "Hi everybody hiv/aids can be cured. it is true" which you know is going to pique my interest. It promised it was telling the truth and then said, "it will cost you US dollar 5000 when the patient is cured." Very well, I know where to take it from there.

So I did. (But not before I had a ton of disconnection issues. It eventually all worked out....)

In between all those disconnections, KanaMacho here kept promising that it was telling the truth! It even swore on the Almighty. Though, Almighty what, it never said. Judging by the $5,000US price tag, I'd say the almighty dollar.

Why is KanaTwit trolling for patients in the chat room? Well, as it said, all patients in its country are "brainwashed". (An entire country that brainwashes its citizens??)

What the hell is this cure that costs $5,000US? "Food Grains". Which ones, KanaIdiota never would say. Some sort of major secret, I suppose. But what it did say about these Food Grains was that they have "no side effect" and the "Food Grains" that cure HIV were put together out of passages of the holy books. Which holy books, you ask? Nearly all of the major ones. The Bible, Quran, and Vedh. (I'm not familiar with any holy book named "Vedh". And a quick Google search also was unfamiliar with any holy book named "Vedh". Of course, I'm not terribly surprised.)

KanaMacho went so far as to tell someone to come to Bangladesh and "stay in your preffered secured place. i shall treat you without any money till you get cured. i swear". Which, of course, begs the question how long does this bullshit cure take? Kana says, "within 120 days you will be cured." FOUR MONTHS!? You want me to pay for a friggin' hotel room for up to FOUR MONTHS while you do nothing but give me "food grains"???

How many people has Kana cured? It's a 100% success rate, by the way. Kana's cured a whopping five people. FIVE!?! That's it! Kana isn't trying very hard....

In fact, that's where this Kana person kinda loses any credibility at all. Kana said that even though he can't get any patients in his own country (all brainwashed, remember?) he was able to get 5 people from another country to take this cure. All five people were unwilling to "stand" with Kana as he "declared" this cure because HIV is highly stigmatized in his country. I replied, "But they have been cured; they don't have HIV any more so what's the problem?" You'd think that someone who'd been among the first five EVER cured of HIV infection would want to make sure that as many people knew about it as possible. But maybe that's just me. But, perhaps, these people aren't actually cured of anything and don't want to deceive people. In thinking the best of people, I'd hafta go with that option.

How did Kanafuck get his five patients? Though lying and deciet. Really. He admits it. He said he contacted some hospitals because he was writing on the lives of those who are HIV positive in Bangladesh. Thing is, he wasn't writing anything at all. He LIED and now he expects people to believe him when he says some "food grains" can cure HIV infection with no side effects. (What about those who might be alergic to, say, wheat gluten? Of course, assuming that wheat is one of the food grains this asshole thinks can cure HIV infection.)

I also asked about testing and the usual verification of results. But, Kana was too scared to submit this "medicine" for testing because, according to him, someone would steal the medicine and claim they invented it themselves. SHENNANEGANS!

I summed up this asshole's cure by stating, "So, you lied to get in contact with people with HIV or AIDS. You didn't test this medicine before giving it to people. And you can't provide any proof that you have a cure for anything. Why do you expect me to believe you?"

About the only thing Kana said that was probably actually true was, "I am a non-medical person". Well, that much is obvious.

Sick AIDS No More

Back in January, henryobing2002 from Nigeria wandered aimlessly into the HIV/AIDS chat room and said that he has the "remady" for AIDS. Ok, so he really called it a "remady 4 aids". O'Henry here said that he has treated 35 people who have each paid him $3000 (I assume US dollars) "with some gift"

Sick AIDS No More apparently takes "ur [sic] faith to work". But what does it do? How does it work? What the hell is in it? Who the fuck knows. O'Henry sure didn't other than saying it's some "prepared herbs". But he did mention something about "traditional herbalists" and the information being supressed by the government. (Ooo! That Evil Government again!) Oh, and that he cured a medical doctor of AIDS back in August or September, 2006. (This fictional medical doctor paid him $5,000 and a car.)

He did also say that we can pay him what we want but nothing less than $3,000.

I asked him how long he'd been studying the cure for AIDS, "Sick AIDS No More" and he said that he'd inheirited it from his dead grandfather, Aghalakah. So this asshole didn't even *discover* this fake cure; his dead bullshit grandfather did and he got it 9 years ago. And in that nine years, "Sick AIDS No More" has only cured 35 people. Seems pretty ineffective to me...

Regardless, I asked him all the usual questions (Peer-reviewed journal; how do you know they had AIDS?; you know the drill) and he, as usual, didn't have the "right" answers.

However, he did offer to cure "my people" of AIDS. And, although he said he was in Nigeria at first, he then suddenly moved to Singapore. And then, a few minutes later, was in London. And then he was back in Singapore.

And we started negotiations on how to get 15 of "my people" to him to be cured. I said that he would have to pay for the whole trip himself. First Class airfare to Singapore from various international locations. And put us up in private hospital rooms. (He'd first tried to get all 15 of us to stay in his fucking house without adequate medical care in the event of an emergency!) For the two weeks this "cure" would take that would end up costing this asshole almost half a million dollars. I asked him to PayPal me $250,000 as a show of good faith and so we could purchase our tickets to Singapore. And that's where negotiations broke down. He kept saying that I needed to have a visa to visit Singapore before he would send the money. However, the fucking bullshiter never, EVER said what it was on or about the visa would be proof of an impending visit.

After the negotiations broke down, he just kept telling the chat room that he had a cure. All this stinking, overgrown fetus had was a way he thought he could bilk money out of sick people. Fucking asshole!

Sim Saie Badour

Don't bother Google-ing for it. Don't try Yahoo! to search for it either. Don't ask www.ask.com 'cause they won't know about it. Don't even think about Wikipedia, either. Don't try MSN, AOL, nor Netscape. In fact, as far as I can even tell, this very page you're reading now is the only mention of this thing on the entire internet. (No wonder nobody's ever heard of it. Must be good if nobody's heard of it...)

This "Sim Saie Badour", according to Yahoo!Messenger user "Waldo1112003", is a flower that grows in the mountains of Japan. He can get you the flower for yourself for a mere $5,000. However, for a couple extra credit points he does say that you pay him "when i come back and if it works". And by "works" he means that the HIV antibody test that used to show "positive" will show "negative". And all this in only "i year" from the time you start eating the flower.

Oh, the flower has to be kept at 102 degrees for it to be kept alive. Nevermind that the mountains of Japan get snow in winter; it's really warm Japanese Snow.

Waldo said that he had documented proof that this flower does cure AIDS and that he'd send it to me, but he never did. Unless he's out there right now trying to concoct it...

I told him, "Ok. You got me.... You go to Japan, get me a flower. Bring it to me, and I'll start eating it. If, within the year my HIV test results come up negative, you can have $5,000. Just email me when you return from Japan with the flower and I'll let you know how to get the flower to me. Then, I'll contact you at the end of a year and let you know if it worked or not." But he never responded. Even to the polite and charming, "Yoo-hoo!!!" I sent him. Guess I hafta go to Japan and play "Where's Waldo's Flower" on my own....
