• Duesberg's AZT story, more about the AZT epidemic, and his evidence that AZT accelerates death.

• Note by Papadopulos et al. explaining why AZT can not work against HIV.

• Retrovir's package insert (PDR '96), and the '98 additions.
  Some citations.

• If you decided not to take the treatment, you can use the following documents:
  • Notice of informed decision not to take or administer treatment for HIV
  • Notice of informed decision not to take or administer treatment to minors
• Should a physician insist that you, or your child, take treatment, insist that they first sign this certificate of treatment efficacy and safety. (If this does not work you still can fire your physician. People flush their drugs down the toilet too, and lie to their physicians.)

• Legal proceedings against Glaxo-Wellcome and Health Authorities are being prepared in the US and Europe. If your health, or that of your partner or child, has also been damaged by AZT, you may be able to sue too. For more information contact Alert.
