The attitude even of doctors and nurses toward the handling of such patients shows only too clearly not only their fear of the disease itself, but their fear of homosexuality, which has been considered evil and forbidden by many religions. Emotions run at top pace in such cases, and the AIDS patients are often shunted away, out of human society. Often even their friends desert them. Yet AIDS can be acquired by those who are not homosexuals, but who have similar problems. (Long pause.) It is a great error to segregate some individuals, like some modern colony of lepers.

Many other diseases that seem to be spread by viruses or contagions are also related to the problems of society in the same manner, and when those conditions are righted the diseases themselves largely vanish. It should be remembered that it is the beliefs and feelings of the patients that largely determine the effectiveness of any medical procedures, techniques, or medications.

The body’s own healing processes are forever active, however — which is why I so strongly advise that they be relied upon along with whatever medical help seems appropriate. But the individual, even as a patient, must always have a choice, and have the right to refuse any treatment being suggested.
