L.A. Porn Lobby Claims L.A. County Public Health Officials Demanded Blood Test From Adult Performer

Categories: Porn

Put 'em up and give us your STD test results.
Freeze. Now give us a blood sample.

Scary enough if the people asking are carrying a badge. But in this case they weren't.

At least according to the Free Speech Coalition, the L.A.-based porn lobby.

The group claims this week that L.A. County Public Health officials appeared at the home of a porn star and demanded blood, ostensibly to test for STDs.

A statement on the incident is thin on detail.

"The LACDPH agents offered no court order or other lawful justification for this shocking intrusion into fundamental civil rights," it reads.

The coalition urges any other adult performers who encounter such a situation to lawyer up before giving a sample.

The group also alludes to an incident in which county health officials tried to seize 2257 records. We're told that refers to a case in which officials allegedly tried to obtain medical data -- in the case we're guessing mostly porn stars' STD test results -- on file at the Adult Industry Medical (AIM) clinic in Sherman Oaks.

The clinic recently reopened after the county shut it down for not having a state license. AIM, a nonprofit, went private in order to avoid county oversight. A statement from AIM called the county's actions "pointless oversight."

The background for all this, of course, is the battle between the industry and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which wants to force condoms on porn shoots. State officials say condoms are mandatory, but that they don't have the resources to enforce the rule.

The industry says people won't buy condom-on porn and such a enforcement would send production outside L.A. and California, to underground locales where conditions will be less safe.

As part of the battle AHF and the county have focused on AIM, which is the industry's safety net for STDs. The clinic organizes the regular voluntary testing of porn stars and gives results to producers. That system, adult industry folks say, works just as good as condoms. Performers arrive on-set with a clean bill of health.

AHF says it doesn't work and points to a recent HIV positive test for a male performer.

Meanwhile, the Free Speech Coalition's chair, Jeffrey Douglas, warned porn stars to keep up their guards.

"You are not a serf living under the whims and dictates of a feudal Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. You can and should ask for a written list of any demand and the authority for those demands. Know your rights and protect yourself."

THE CURE for HIV/AIDS.......AMBUSH

THE IDEA that AMBUSH cures AIDSis being proven by the more than 400 individuals who have taken a dose of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. The result is that AMBUSH 'KILLS' the virus by causing the protein envelope to rupture and the viral particles are discarded by the white blood cells. AMBUSH is able to 'KILL' the virus that are 'hiding' in the lymph system by its 'natural radioactive' properties. This process allows the body to 'return to normal health' with a corresponding immunity to that or those strains of the virus.

What is AMBUSH ?AMBUSH is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is found in the 'palm' plant of which there are more than 3000 species. When ingested, AMBUSH causes the body temperature in the trunk area to rise to about 102 degrees when the individual is sleeping. The preparation takes four hours per batch, which is then given to the individuals for consumption 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. AMBUSH is a herbal preparation in this form but it contains an active ingredient which is a 'NEW' crystalline substance, a drug from the 'palm plant' similarly to ASPIRIN originating from the willow tree bark

RESULTS:After 21 days on AMBUSH, ALL the individuals experienced a decrease in viral load to undetectable, an increase in cd4, increase in RBC, an improvement in general health such as more color to the face, decrease in Buffalo hump, an increase in gluteal muscles, a decrease to having no joint pains whereby individuals can bend to touch their toes, and walk up steps are but a few examples. There is also a dramatic increase in their sexual appetite beginning after the first week of therapy

DISCUSSION:In any plant concoction such as percolated 'tea', there are 30-40,000 compounds, whi ch would take the scientific community twenty years to isolate one particular ingredient if they knew what they were looking for. The LORD GOD has given me seven steps to isolate the active ingredient, which is soft and metallic in nature and has a carbon- uranium-sulfur-(classified)-phentolamine configuration or structure. This is similar to Federick Kekule and the discovery of the benzene ring where he dreamt the structure.

As an antiviral and 'natural radioactivity' producing agent, AMBUSH is also effective against leukemia, lupus and HPV. Here I am saying that I have 'GIVEN' AMBUSH in the same 'strength' and dosage to patients with leukemia, lupus and HPV. A 35 year old male with HIV found it difficult to impossible to urinate was put on 'green tea' and water while the doctors contemplated prostrate surgery. One of the doctors gave him my number , I sent him a supply of AMBUSH an d he has not been given any more ARV's, since taking AMBUSH 18 months ago, is in 'good' health and has expressed a willingness to be examined by HIV investigators like many others who have taken AMBUSH.

I have sent this 'IDEA' to most HIV research agencies, scientist of the field, universities, hospitals, clinics, politicians and news agencies to which it is REJECTED because the name of THE LORD GOD is mentioned. He has steered me scientifically through the processes such as which plant and how to produce the active ingredient. What are the odds of a Florida Pharmacist picking a plant would contain the CURE for HIV/AIDS ?I have never charged any of the people for their supply of AMBUSH but a life saving has been spent on the project with NO renumeration from any sources because AMBUSH falls outside the walls of modern medicine and research.

PROPOSAL:

My proposal is that I PROVE that AMBUSH CURES HIV/AIDS by giving it to a number of END-STAGE or DRUG-RESISTANT people and the scientific community watches their recovery. This proposal addresses the problem in that I have already outlaid the results to be obtained.

This IDEA is unconventional in that the scientific community has rejected AMBUSH because I say it is GOD given. Secondly if I wrote it according to certain standards, then it might be peer reviewed. However, THE LORD GOD has also shown me that there are five enzyme systems associated with the virus, reverse transcriptase, protease, fusion and two more of which causes the virus to be AIRBOURNE. This means that without DIVINE intervention mankind and ALL warm- blooded mammals will be extinct in a number of years.

The PROOF of what I am saying is found in scientific papers wherein it is found that when the protease cuts the viral strands, it cuts it at DIFFERENT lengths EVERY time, to which it should always be a valine at the end but is a different amino acid every time. This is why it is IMPOSSIBLE to produce a VACCINE.

Since this is NOT a hypothesis but there are about 400 individuals who have taken AMBUSH, here lies a vast area in which to check, recheck and confirm that AMBUSH CURES AIDS. Let it be mentioned that during the HIV reproductive cycle, reverse transcriptase converts viral RNA into DNA compatible to human genetic materials. Thus the human DNA has been 'hijacked' and since each person has a DIFFERENT DNA, then the new viral copy is unique to that person which shows that each individual has a DIFFERENT STRAIN of the virus. Consider two HIV positive people swapping viral strains and increasing its complexity with multiple partners.It can also be proposed that they be revisited as proof that the strain or strains that they had were 'killed' at the time of taking AMBUSH considering that a person can catch as many different strains as there are people who are infected by HIV.I am also willing to work with the scientific community in identifying those individuals who took AMBUSH and wish to be identified with this process notwithstanding that some are stigmatized while others are jubilant,

Once AMBUSH is verified as being able to accomplish that which is aforementioned then the next stage might be the natural and artificial synthesis of the substance.

Finally, if this is accepted or not, believed or not, THE LORD GOD always wins and this is the heavenly truth to which AMBUSH was divinely given to mankind for the CURE of HIV/AIDS and it will be here forever.

The WORLD is therefore COMPELLED to listen......sooner or later....your choice !!!!!

The problems which the industry refuses to acknowledge is that their system of "precautions" fails to protect those with whom performers come into contact outside of the workplace. AIM's competence and credibility cannot be taken at face value, as the organization has been beholden to the film production companies pretty much since its creation. I don't mean to relieve individuals of individual responsibility. If you have unprotected sex with someone whom you know to be sexually polygamous, especially someone who is voraciously sexually polygamous, then you are placing your health and your life at risk. But these cries of "civil liberties" must be weighed against the very real public health threat that these people pose.

Mr Hampton, why do you put "civil liberties" in quotes? Do you suggest that they are merely ironic?

And before you claim that these people pose a "very real public health threat" shouldn't you have done the research first? Upon what numbers do you base you implicit claim that porn stars are the new Typhoid Mary's?

You question the motives of AIM Healthcare, sir, but how about the motives of the grandstanding Michael Weinstein of AHF? The man who sued Pfizer over viagra ONLY AFTER Pfizer turned down his multi-million dollar finding request.

In the end, though,I think LA County Dept of Public Health properly has bigger fish to fry -- like having local hospitals being taken over by the federal government because people are bleeding out in the hallways! Or hospitals DUMPING indigent patients on the street. This entire crusade against the adult industry is a despicable straw man.

It is interesting to note that the HIV+ male performer you mentioned above claims he caught it on a CONDOM-ONLY shoot! -- on other words, on a shoot following the paradigm that AHF proposes to promote worker safety! Setting aside the fact that the fellow in question, Derrick Burts, also worked as a gay escort, and that reviews posted online tend to indicate that he worked as a bareback escort -- how would any of this be the fault of AIM, the testing clinic? This is madness -- not to mention harassment, which has now crossed over into clearly illegal territory.

I look forward to more details emerging on this matter, and I encourage anyone else who has been victimized and harassed by this illegal, improper campaign to come forward, and name names.
