REMEMBER OUR OLD WEBSITE

Please recall our old website by Geocities that was shut down
about 2 years ago when Geocities closed. It was our first web
site that covered all that we had found out about HIV/AIDS.

www.geocities.com/aids_holisticspng

Work started in 2005 and continued daily until 2010 with
a total of about 650,000 hits. The counter crashed several
times but we faithfully recorded totals. At times we posted
the original tally sheets on email. There were150,000 hits a
year. But our message was accurate and comprehensive.

Those were the days when there was not much on Google for
people to read on living with the virus. I would like to think that
AIDS Holistics helped to start the ball rolling.

We make no apology for the fact that the website above was a
fighting weapon. In those days we were being viciously attacked
by AusAID and United Nations gay /lesbian advisors determined
to kill the Positive Living message. But they failed.

We have not started up the old website and are pleased that we
now have use of a site on Blogspot. It is a truly fabulous blog site.

The present blog site will surpass the old website quickly. Most
of the reports have already been written and polished over the last
year or so. The perspective and information is as good as we can
get.

But there are more people on Google writing on Positive Living.
So our message is not hot news as it was in 2001-2005. Our
message was comprehensive and covered all possible aspects
of living positively.

What made us unpopular with the Australian gays / lesbians
was our inclusion of FAMILY and FAITH. That was said to
be discriminatory against those without family / faith. In PNG,
99.9% of people live in families and less than that have faith.

By that reasoning any mention of NUTRITION will discriminate
against the people without food. Any mention of EXERCISE will
discriminate against the handicapped. Gay and lesbian opposition
was foolish and discriminatory against the community at large.

We are not fighting for existence any more. We find ourselves
in the churches and radio programs to talk on faith, love, family,
friends, nutrition and HIV/AIDS. Family positive living freedom
fighters have gone respectable.

We will open the old website and make linkages with our best reports.
One day. Someone cut, pasted and posted the website on Google. But
I cannot find it. There are 30 or more Google pages on Positive Living.
It has to be opened afresh. Click on the URL address above.
