Call for End to UNAIDS in British Medical Journal

"Why a UN agency for HIV and not for acidic symptoms of pneumonia or diabetes, which both conditions of dis-ease or acidity kill more people?
UNAIDS mandate is wrong and harmful," states Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist from the pH Miracle Living Center.

Writing in the May 2008 British Medical Journal, health management expert Roger England asserts that the joint United Nations program on HIV and AIDS should be "closed down rapidly." England is chairman of Health Systems Workshop, an independent advisory group on health management in poor countries.
According to England, UNAIDS should be disbanded as its mandate is wrong and harmful.

Launched in 1996, UNAIDS is based in Switzerland and works in more than 80 countries worldwide against the alleged spread of HIV and AIDS.
Writing in the May 2008 issue of the British Medical Journal (BMJ), England says the UNAIDS agency was set up on the argument that AIDS and its impact are exceptional and need more attention, effort and funding than all other health threats faced by the world today.

England says AIDS is a major problem in southern Africa, but it is not a global catastrophe. He also asserts that language from a top UNAIDS official that describes AIDS as one of the make- or-break forces of this century potential threat to the survival and well-being of people worldwide, is sensationalist.

Worldwide, he states, the number of deaths from HIV each year is about the same as that among children aged under five years in India.

England argues that far too much is spent on HIV relative to other needs and that this is damaging health systems. HIV causes 3.7% of global mortality but receives 25% international healthcare aid and a big chunk of domestic expenditure.

HIV exceptionalism is dead, he says, and the writing is on the wall for UNAIDS.

Why a UN agency for AIDS and not for pneumonia or diabetes, which both kill more people?

UNAIDS should be closed down rapidly, not because it has performed badly given its mandate, but because its mandate is wrong and harmful. Its technical functions should be refitted into [the World Health Organization], to be balanced with those for other diseases.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist from the pH Miracle Living Center, "AIDS is a consequence of lifestyle and dietary choice and is not caused by HIV or any other virus. Metabolic and dietary acids are the sole cause of all sickness and dis-ease including AIDS. The best treatment for AIDS is simply and alkaline lifestyle and diet.
It works!"
