but what does this have to do with aids?
=============================================

If you believe that Sodium Pumps are the reason that cells concentrate Potassium and exclude sodium you are a card carry member of the "Dying Scientific Dogma Club".

Gilbert ling has proven beyond a Shadow of a doubt that this notion is wrong. Damadian who invented MRI is in Glibert Lings camp.

Unlike Duesburg and the AIDS non-sense in which nothing has been proven, Ling and a host of cutting edge scientists have provided a mountain of evidence that sodium pumps dont exist and the Association induction hypothesis is the best theory of the day. At least among real scientists.


But you gotta be right and we must be wrong. It says so in the textbook you used when at University.

00=========================================================

The major articles in which the concept of the “sodium pump” were set forth occurred in 1941 (1) and 1946 (2), and by 1949 the idea was so popular as a convenient and seemingly practical answer that nobody listened to Ling when he announced that it was impossible. And, even today, few scientists are interested to know that the “sodium pump” is impossible — even though a search of the scientific literature reveals that not one coherent paper has laid out the theory and interpretive value of the “sodium pump” idea. In fact, even third generation advocates of the “sodium pump” at Cambridge University admit that it is not a true scientific theory (3), and it must be kept in mind that the greatest number of Nobel Prizes given for research work based on the truth of the “sodium pump” have been won by scientists at Cambridge. It is sobering to realize, as well, that there has never been a Nobel Prize awarded for work on the “sodium pump” itself, yet many awards have been given work which incorporates it as first principle. Ling has argued persuasively that the “sodium pump” is not a theory or even a hypothesis, but consists of the rephrasing of observations. It has never been identified, it cannot be proved, there are no concrete facts which support its existence, and yet it stands in the way of great progress in research, diagnosis and the practice of medicine.
