"We live in an epoch in which mankind is rapidly changing its
environment, thus opening a Pandora's box in which various germs have
been innocently slumbering.  The AIDS virus, it seems, is one of these.
Will humanity rid itself of this new plague?"
						Professor Luc Montagnier


	Before concluding, let us take a short detour through Greek
mythology.  Luc Montagnier places AIDS within the category of those ills
which Pandora's box unleashed upon humanity.  In Greek mythology,
Prometheus stole fire from the Gods in order to give it to mankind.
Zeus, the father of the Gods, punished man by sending a woman, Pandora,
to open the container where all the plagues and illnesses were stored.
This apparently harmless myth takes on a much deeper meaning if one
recalls that fire was used almost exclusively for culinary purposes
during that epoch in Greek history.  If the various illnesses did escape
from Pandora's box, did the transformation of food by fire have anything
to do with it?  The verdict of the myth is severe: as punishment for his
misdeed, Prometheus was chained to a rock where an eagle pecked out his
liver for eternity.  There is a striking convergence between this myth
(suggesting that the use of fire for cooking leads to illness) and the
astounding remissions obtained by a natural diet in human subjects and in
the cats of Pottenger (raw food = health).  Our ancestors doubtless
understood, at least subconsciously, that the transformation of food
could be heavy with consequences, as they explained in the Prometheus
myth.

This book takes a hard look at the two most powerful taboos of
our modern civilization: sex (via AIDS) and food (the solution we
propose).  These correspond to the two fundamental instincts of the
species, namely self-propagation (the sexual instinct) and
self-preservation (the hunger instinct).  The mixture is explosive, and
will doubtless provoke some controversy.  That is why it is important,
while informing the public, to avoid emotionalism and to set the debate
upon a scientific or even humanitarian basis.  By doing so, we avoid
wasting time in our confrontation with immune-related illnesses that are
threatening to become the plague of the dawning 21st century, and we thus
allow all populations to benefit from a lifestyle and a dietary technique
that reinforce natural immunity.
