Manto Tshabalala-Msimang
Former South African Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, who once advocated that HIV/AIDS could be cured through a diet of beetroot juice and herbs, has died from liver disease at the age of 69.
Dr. Tshabalala-Msimang was South African Health Minister during the Thabo Mbeki administration between 1999 and 2008. She insisted that anti-retroviral drugs were harmful and too expensive, and recommended a diet of olive oil, garlic, beetroot and the African potato to combat HIV/AIDS. Critics dubbed her the derisive name of “Dr. Beetroot”.
Despite her bizarre homeopathic stance in a nation that has the highest level of HIV/AIDS in the world, Dr. Tshabalala-Msimang was able to maintain her position in the Mbeki administration due to her strong credentials of fighting National Party rule during the so-called “liberation struggle”.
A new study shows that more that 300,000 people died prematurely because of a delay in rolling out anti-retroviral medicines in South Africa.

Liver disease? She was an alcoholic who jumped the queue when she received a new liver in 2007.
Apart from that she was a convicted jewel thief in Botswana.
Of course her alcoholism was covered up by the ANC comrades.

Remember that this is a former health minister in a country with a president who believed a shower after raping an HIV positive girl would prevent him contracting the disease.
Zuma also said the National Prosecuting Authority will report to the ANC. Very convenient when you have 80+ counts of fraud and corruption against you…
Hey, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang is considered to be a trailblazer among her peers in the South African medical community. Her predecessor’s recipe to cure HIV/AIDS was to bathe the patient in monkey shit, and then clean him with a sloution of human menstrual fluids and hippopotamus urine.
Such is the extent of the cutting edge of technology in South Africa.
This woman managed to kill over 350,000 black Africans with her HIV denial policy. She has killed more than the Boeremag ever could have dreamed of. RIP, Solutrean Soldier!

We here in america actualy had “Dr. Beetroot’s” (now Dr.Deadbeet) mentor. You may have heard of her , Joycelyn Elders!
Like Dr. Deadbeet, she was a Black women.
Elders was appointed 15th surgeon General of the United States by degenerate president Bill bubba Clinton and was the first “Black” appointee to this inauspicious position. Elders is best known for her frank discussion of sensitive issues such as drug legalization and distributing contraception in schools, ilustrating a progressive black mind .
Like many of the surgeon generals before her, she was an outspoken advocate of a variety of health-related causes. She argued for an exploration of the possibility of drug legalization and backed the distribution of contraceptives in schools. In 1994, she was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on AIDS. She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity, and she replied, “I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught.” This remark caused great controversy and resulted in Elders losing the support of the White House. White House chief of staff Leon Panetta remarked, “There have been too many areas where the President does not agree with her views”. Elders was fired by President Clinton as a result of the controversy in December 1994.
There was an article yesterday in the NY Times on GelofteDag. It was a piece of shit written by a liberal to make Die BoereVolk look bad, of course. The Battle of Die Bloede Rivier was against savages like her who still live in the lower Paleolithic. This once great clean civilized nation has been given over to savages like her. Ter Wille Van Die BoereVolk!
In due respect, this reporter is confusing HERBALISM with HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE. She seemed to be an advocate for herbalism and was not known to comment on homeopathic medicine…
Yes, Manto was the highly controversial health minister who took sides with the aids dissidents and recommended nutrition and dissed the aids drugs.
The masses had wondered "what made Manto do it. What made her unravel on HIV/AIDS?"
I would like to share with you a somewhat recent interview with Dr. Luc Montagnier. Montagnier received the Nobel prize one year ago for his discovery of HIV. I beg that all of you will take just a moment to listen to his words, as I said, he is the Nobel acclaimed discoverer of hiv:

In this video, we clearly hear the discoverer of HIV tell us EXACTLY what Manto herself said about hiv. That a good immune system is not susceptible. That nutrition and clean water are primary to health in those at risk. We find in this interview that Manto and Thabo are vindicated by the discoverer of hiv, Luc Montagnier himself.
When Mbeki called for the coming together of all scientists on all sides of the hiv debate, Manto was as cold as ice toward the dissident scientists, UNTIL she looked for herself at all of the data. Manto personally attended every meeting and personally read every study. What she found astounded her. She found that the HIV tests are nonspecific and can show as false positive for nearly seventy conditions that have nothing to do with HIV. She found there is NO WAY to verify anyone has HIV. She found there is NO EVIDENCE with any reasonable degree of proof, that shows that even if hiv is present, that it could possibly be the cause of AIDS. She found the aids drugs, particularly AZT, to be deadly toxic. She found that NONE of the aids drugs had ever been tested against placebo, and that all were fast-tracked through the American fda by the drug companies. She found the orthodoxy of hiv beliefs could not support any of their claims.
Yes, she was cold as ice to the dissidents UNTIL she herself read all of those studies and attended all of those meetings. After the meetings were finished, she found herself dancing the pata pata with the dissident side. But as the public itself was still entranced by belief in hiv as the culprit, she found herself on the outside of popular belief, and found herself to be demonized by all those who had not and would not look at the actual research and studies as she herself and as Thabo himself had done.
Fools that men are, we the living fail to understand that history is written in the future. Again and again history all too often shows that what were once popular beliefs or even delusions were wrong, and that those who pointed such out such wrongs while the delusions were active were all demonized at the time, then later canonized and made heros by future historians for what they had done to try to wake up the very masses who rejected them. This will again be the case when history books are written about this issue in our collective future. The masses were wrong and deluded once again. HIV is not, was not, and could not be the cause of aids, and eventually history will vindicate the dissidents, and make even greater heros of Manto and Thabo. Those who are not so easily deluded or overtaken by their own fears and paranoias, and who have been free of bias who have personally studied the issue and the science have been speaking out on this for 20 years. Manto and Thabo are indeed greater heros than the current generations who demonize them could ever believe. They did their very best to wake the world up to this, and the world did nothing but demonize them in return.
She also found that one other way of going to heaven prematurely, was to drink yourself to death!
She's waiting there for Mbeki …..
