A tidal wave of panic surrounded homosexuality and AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s, during what was commonly termed "The AIDS Crisis."

But while these life saving drugs mean that gay men can have a potentially healthy, normal life, what do these changes mean for how they and HIV is presented in popular culture? Positive Images is the first examination of the various methods used to portray gay men and HIV in the media over the past two decades....

The Slow Death of the Aids/Cancer Paradigm: And the Apocrypha of the Eukaryotic Cell
ISBN: 9781524544225 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. AIDS and cancer are neither random nor infectious diseases.

It is consistent with the evolutionary heritage of the eukaryotic cell, which developed the foundational glycolytic pathways during the eon of the earth's anaerobic-reducing atmosphere. It should no longer be a mystery that these primitive metabolic patterns dominate when bio-stressors cause deterioration in the quantum and electromagnetic...
