Admin Note: Time for Bed....

I believe it may be time to put this blog to bed.

For nearly the past four years, I have been finding and writing about a myriad of fake cures for HIV and AIDS. But a couple of situations have arisen that leads me to believe the time for this blog to go to bed is here.

Lately, the usual source for these bullshit cures, the HIV/AIDS chat room on Yahoo!, has been infested with spam-bots pretending to be horny young women looking to get laid. What this has done is driven away most of the usual members of the chat room (many of whom I like). As such, the room is hardly ever populated enough to (1) make me want to stay in and chat and (2) entice these assholes with "cures" to come in with any regularity.

Also, the "cures" these greedy bastards come up with are merely variations on a theme these days. Usually, it's Herbal or aryuvedic "Medicine" from the Middle East--Usually India--or some ridiculous belief that God (in any of its forms) will "cure" someone if they just have "faith". As such, it feels like I'm just rehashing old shit when and if I write about them.

As a result of the above situations the semi-regular updates haven't been coming nearly once a week as the blog title implies. And I believe it's bed time for this blog.

The blog will stay available--there has been far too many people helped by various posts, notably the Mark Anastasi posts (who, by the way, still hasn't sued me for "defamation of character".)

There may still be further updates as I come across something new, but it's not even going to be close to once a week.

Thanks for reading!
