.... As many as 15,000 residents may be infected with the virus and not be aware of it and the majority of these victims are between the ages of twenty and forty. The only solution to this problem, as is the only solution to any problem, is prevention through education. Of course it is easy to hand out literature and condoms to adults, but are they really going to listen? As a community, we can encourage HIV/AIDS testing, but will it be taken advantage of?

As an alternative to using actual marijuana, modern science has developed a synthetic form of THC, the active chemical in marijuana. However, this synthetic drug, called Marinol, is useless for most everyday treatment because it has the unpleasant side effect of being a powerful sedative. A member of Milwaukee's AIDS community, said that a friend of his was taking Marinol to increase his appetite: “He spends the whole day laughing and watching movies...He can't even ....

.... bacteria. The hydrogen peroxide is broken down, so that it can not be dangerous anymore, into water (which is given off when you perspire) and into oxygen (which can be given off when you exhale). A toxin like hydrogen peroxide must be broken down because if it is kept in the body for too long it can react with cell walls and damage them or break them down. The variables that affect the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide are: 1. The temperature of the liver 2. The surface area of the liver 3. The pH of the hydrogen peroxide 4. The concentration of the enzymes The two variables I am going to look at are temperature and surface area. Hypo ....

.... the minds of many researchers and other medical personal. This debate leaves less medically educated people who are not professionals, and who are going by the advice of the people who are, in a bit of a rough spot. If we do not get enough exercise, then we run the risk of getting sick and being unhealthy. If we get an excessive amount of exercise, then again, the same result.

It also controls nausea and vomiting, which occurs with cancer patients during chemo and with AIDS patients using AZT. It is known to be one of the safest therapeutic substances known to man. Polls find that the large majority of Americans agree the drug should be available to these patients. Hemp, which is known as the stalk of the plant can be used for fuel. It can be burned as is or processed into charcoal, methanol, methane, or gasoline. Fuels made from this plant are known as biomass fuels. These fuels are virtually free from metals and sulfur, so they don't cause nearly as much pollu ....

.... States and the reaction is virtually the same across the board. In an article called “What Causes AIDS? It's an Open Question,� a trio of doctors of scientists, Charles A. Thomas, Kary B. Mullis and Phillip E. Johnson, try to prove that HIV is not the cause of AIDS and that there is another cause of AIDS out there somewhere, but the scientific community continues to ignore the possibility (Thomas-1995). It has been proven that HIV does have something to do with causing AIDS. The majority of AIDS patients that also have HIV cannot be ignored. HIV is however not the only cause of AIDS. This is proven by the thousands of AIDS victims that do not have HIV. It is widely a ....
