| "The Biggest Medical and Scientific
Blunder in History"
By Lainey S. Cronk
|
 Come
and hear the reality of medical and scientific blunders as Dr. David
Rasnick presents "But-What about Africa?" at Pacific Union
College on Monday, February 9, at 7 p.m. in Dauphinee Chapel. This
presentation is part of PUC's All-Science Seminar series, an on-going
program designed to inform students and faculty on recent scientific
discoveries. The series is open to the public.
Rasnick is a visiting scholar to the department of molecular &
cell biology at UC Berkeley, and the chief science officer of Boveran
in San Ramon, California.
In his presentation, Rasnick will discuss medical errors in history
such as the refusal of the medical community in the mid 1800s to
accept the theory that disinfection of doctors' hands could save
the lives of women in the obstetrics wards.
Another medical rejection Rasnick will discuss involves Dr. Joseph
Goldberger's definitive evidence in the 1900s that pellagra was
not infectious, but caused by a poor diet.
Rasnick also believes that "the contagious, HIV hypothesis
of AIDS" is another example of a medical blunder - in fact,
that it is "the biggest scientific, medical blunder of the
20th Century."
Upcoming presentations in the All-Science Seminar series include
Dr. Peter Duesberg, member of the National Academy of Sciences and
renowned retro virologist on February 10; Darren Main, yoga/meditation
instructor and author, on February 17, and Christine Maggiore, founder
of Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives, a non-profit education, support,
and research organization, on February 24.
