Dr. Boyd Ed Graves 7.7.52 - 6.18.09

Dr. Boyd Ed Graves International AIDS activist lawyer dies age 57

(San Diego, CA) – Human Rights activist and HIV/AIDS advocate American lawyer Dr. Boyd Ed Graves died Thursday at the University of California San Diego Medical Center. Dr. Graves was 57.

Dr. Graves' two decades of human rights' work, judicial activism and research on behalf of people living with HIV/AIDS, catapulted him into the world spotlight earning him both international acclaim for his bravery and dedication as well as criticisms for his controversial conclusions about the man-made origins and purpose of the HIV/AIDS virus.
, U
Known by “Ed” to his friends and family, Dr. Graves was a dynamic and patriotic individual who dedicated his professional and personal life to the disabled, disenfranchised and the fair daily existence of men and women worldwide.

Born on July 7, 1952 in Charleston, West Virginia to James and Theresa Graves, Boyd Ed Graves was the third of nine children. In 1955 Graves' family moved to Youngstown, Ohio where his father and mother both worked several jobs simultaneously to purchase their first house. Youngstown would become Graves' home, and Graves would eventually become one of Youngstown's hometown heroes.

Graves began demonstrating leadership qualities at a young age and after graduating Youngstown High School with honors as Senior Class President at age 17; Graves was recommended by his Congressional Representative for an appointment at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Graves was one of only 30 African Americans in the country to earn the honor. During his time at U.S. Naval Academy, Graves learned Mandarin Chinese and was a member of the Navy boxing team. Graves became the first African American elected as President of the U.S. Navy Glee Club and was the first African American featured in U.S. Navy recruitment commercials. At a time of extreme racial tensions and as one of the few black plebes, Graves received many hazing, harassments, and racial slurs inside the ranks. His experiences during this time later were featured in several books and articles authored by official U.S. Navy historian Robert Schneller.

Having successfully served President Richard Nixon's administration posted aboard the USS Buchanan as a Communications Officer, Graves left military life with honorable discharge and began his civilian career entering the work force for IBM in 1977.

Civilian work place echoed his military experience, and Graves again faced with discrimination took the higher ground. In 1987, he successfully pursued a discrimination lawsuit and his appeals to the United States Supreme Court. This was the first of several case appearances in the U.S. Supreme Court that Dr. Graves would make to deter discrimination for himself and others.

In 1992 Graves graduated as a lawyer with honors earning his Juris Doctorate from Ohio Northern University School of Law in Ada Ohio and during a routine physical exam several weeks before graduating law school, Graves tested HIV positive.

With his new diagnosis, law degree and experiences as a minority, Graves went to work as a legal consultant specializing in code compliance and enforcement for the Americans with Disabilities Act to ensure people with disabilities had equal access.

Determined to understand his new diagnosis with a 'new' disease, Graves immediately began researching HIV/AIDS intent on understanding how to best preserve his health and help himself survive. In 1993 Graves' research into HIV/AIDS led him to a formerly secret federal virus development initiative coordinated by the Pentagon called, “The United States Special Virus Program.”

“The United States Special Virus Program.” involved the complicity of two government agencies, the Pentagon as coordinator seeking biowarfare solutions and the National Institute of Health as administrator. The veneer goal of the NIH program was to meet Nixon’s challenge of a war on cancer. Unfortunately for the program participants, the goal came at a cost of using humans / in vivo subjects to produce viruses, deadly viruses including the HIV/AIDs virus. For 16 years, between 1962 to 1978, the National Institute of Health, published 15 annual progress reports. Each year in this history, a report details thousands of human and non-human virus experiments seeking 'candidate viruses'. The most concise salient microcosm of this Mengele-madness was the 1971 U.S. Special Virus Research Logic Flow Chart. The secret blueprint coordinates every experiment and contract inside the U.S. Special Virus Program and demonstrates the true intent of the secret research – live human subjects, US citizens, US veterans, your brothers, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbors.

On September 28, 1998 Dr. Graves filed his first class action lawsuit in the Ohio Federal Court in forma pauperis, seeking immediate investigation into the formerly secret U.S. Special Virus Program, including a petition for make whole relief for the class of members infected by HIV/AIDS.

On January 1, 2000 The United States Department of Justice notified Graves, they had named The Office of the President of the United States as the primary defendant in the case. On election day November 7, 2000 the sixth circuit federal court silently dismissed the case, Graves vs The President of the United States. Graves appealed and on April 11, 2001 appeared in the United States Supreme Court. The court quietly dismissed the case without comment and instructions 'not to publish.' Determined and armed with the 1971 Flow Chart, 15 years of 'missing medical history' and the evidence of the laboratory birth of AIDS, Graves continued filing litigation requesting immediate investigation into the formerly secret tax payer funded program until his death.

In 2001 Dr. Graves became the first American and African American to receive an injection of Tetrasil, the U.S. Patented Cure for AIDS (Patent # 5676977). Almost immediately, Graves health began recovering from years of damage inflicted by the 'special HIV virus' and he became an outspoken proponent of the Tetrasil treatment demanding immediate clinical trials and world wide accessibility for people living with HIV and dying of AIDS. Soon afterward Tetrasil was recalled by the patent owner/manufacturer, Dr. Marvin Antleman and Antleman Technologies, Inc. without public explanation. Graves took his experiences and requests to the Congress, General Accounting Office, the Centers for Disease Control, United Nations, World Health Organization, and several Ministers of Health around the world with varying degrees of success including China, the UK, and several African countries where he was widely revered and respected as the 'Man Who Solved AIDS'.

Dr. Boyd Ed Graves was a celebrated lecturer and the author several books including “STATE ORIGIN: The Evidence of the Laboratory Birth of AIDS,” and “World War AIDS: The Third World War.” Dr. Graves was working on his memoir and other manuscripts at the time of his death. The final books will eventually be published according to his publisher and long time friend Joel Bales. Additional information about Dr. Graves' life, accomplishments and the on going legal cases are widely available on the Internet. Dr. Graves official website www.boydgraves.com will continue on-line as a resource for readers posting news about the continuing legal work, his legacy and as a method to allow others affected by HIV/AIDS communicate, network and contribute to Dr. Graves' legal fund/endowment dedicated to continuing his life's work and legacy.

Dr. Boyd Ed Graves was preceded in death by his parents, James and Theresa Graves and is survived by four brothers and four sisters, including; Jesse James Graves III of Cleveland, Jimmy Graves of Cincinnati, Jeffrey Graves of Cleveland, David Graves of Youngstown, Michelle (Graves) Beachman of Youngstown, Maxine (Graves) Jones of Cleveland, Mary (Graves) Thomas of Cleveland, and Theresa (Graves) Wiggins of Youngstown.

Memorial services for Dr. Boyd Ed Graves will be held Saturday June 27 from 3:00 – 6:00 pm at the Community Room at Mount Auburn in Cleveland, Ohio.

Boyd Graves asks Congressman Filner investigate formerly secret AIDS program


San Diego – Yesterday U.S.Congressman Bob Filner (D-Ca) received a presentation by American humanrights activist and HIV/AIDS advocate Dr. Boyd E. Graves on the formerly secret U.S. Special Virus Program's 1971 Research Logic Flowchart and the evidence of the laboratory birth of AIDS.


“We have now reconnected the U.S. Congress to our position from prior to9-11. Congressman Filner took a 40 minute presentation that seemed like an hour and a half,” Graves said. “The evidence proves a federal virus development program preceded the onset of HIV/AIDS.HIV/AIDS is the Synthetic Biological Agent funded by Congress on June9, 1969 and May 1946.”


Graves, a lawyer and researcher in San Diego, has recovered over 15 years of 'missing' medical evidenced titled the U.S. Special Virus Cancer Program (1962-1978). The progress reports of the virus development program detail every contract and laboratory experiment towards creating HIV/AIDS,according to Graves and a plethora of international scientific and medical experts familiar with the documents. Graves is considered one of the leading researchers on the topic.


“The secret program's 1971 'research logic' flowchart proves to a level of 'absolute evidence', the design, purpose and intent of this secret federal program, the U.S. Special Virus program,” Graves said. “Any National AIDS Strategy must incorporate the immediate clinical trials of the U.S. eleven year oldpatented Cure for AIDS, U.S. patent#5676977, www.uspto.gov.”


Following the dismissal of his last Freedom of Information Act litigation in federal court, Dr. Graves said he will re-file. Dr. Graves has been lead plaintiff in multiple lawsuits against the formerly secret federal program since the discovery of the flow chart document in 1999. Each lawsuit has been quietly dismissed from the courts and some court records.


“To date no one can offer an answer as to when the visna virus crossed species. This point will prove to show further problematic for the United States,” Graves said. “We can immensely improve the treatment for HIV/AIDS, and at the same time create a healthy, happy environment for victims of this federal program.”


Congressman Bob Filner is an eighth term Democrat from California 51st District elected in 1992 and a super-delegate pledged to Barack Obama. Dr. Boyd Graves is a vocal human rights' activist and the first African American to receive the U.S. Patented AIDS Cure, Tetrasil. Graves is the author of two books,“STATE ORIGIN: The Evidence of the Laboratory Birth of AIDS,” and“WORLD WAR AIDS: The Third World War.”

FDA Warns Companies Importing and Marketing Drugs Over the Internet that Fraudulently Claim to Prevent and Treat STDs

FDA Warns Companies Importing and Marketing Drugs Over the Internet that Fraudulently Claim to Prevent and Treat STDs


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued Warning Letters to six U.S. companies and one foreign individual for marketing unapproved and misbranded drugs over the Internet to U.S. consumers for the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Some of these products, directed at U.S. consumers, falsely claim to have "FDA Approval" and some claim to be "more effective" than conventional medicine. The products are sold as Tetrasil, Genisil, Aviralex, OXi-MED, Imulux, Beta-mannan, Micronutrient, Qina, and SlicPlus. Consumers who are currently using these products should stop their use immediately and consult their health care professional if they have experienced any adverse effects that they suspect are related to the use of any of these products.

"The products pose a serious health threat to unsuspecting consumers who don’t know that these products are not FDA approved and have not been proven safe or effective," said Janet Woodcock, M.D., deputy commissioner for scientific and medical programs, chief medical officer, and acting director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "STDs are very serious diseases and these products give consumers a false sense of security that they are protected from STDs."

The products claim to prevent or treat a variety of STDs, including Herpes, Chlamydia, Human Papilloma Virus, cervical dysplasia, and HIV/AIDS. The FDA considers these U.S. and imported products to be unapproved new drugs being marketed in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. They are also misbranded under the law because they lack proper directions for use by consumers. In addition, some of the products are misbranded because they make false and misleading claims.

Examples of claims that these products make include "Treatment Kills all Herpes Viruses WITHOUT having to use conventional drugs or medications," "Greatest STD Protection Without Condoms," (SlicPlus) and "The active ingredient in our product is FDA certified to destroy 99.9992 percent of all pathogenic organisms [ie] Chlamydia" (OXi-MED).

The Warning Letters inform the companies that failure to properly resolve violations of the law may cause them to face further enforcement action that can include seizure of illegal products, injunction, and possible criminal prosecution.

Issuing these Warning Letters is part of the FDA’s ongoing campaign against fraudulent products marketed on the Internet for serious and life-threatening diseases. The agency also works to educate consumers about the risks and dangers that exist from buying unsafe products.

Consumers and health care professionals should notify the FDA of any complaints or problems associated with these products. These reports may be made to MedWatch, the FDA’s voluntary reporting program, by calling 800-FDA-1088, or electronically at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm.

U.S. District Judge dismisses AIDS Origin lawsuit

SAN DIEGO - The blind hand of 'justice' moved swiftly today dismissing the latest AIDS Origin lawsuit filed by human rights' activist and HIV/AIDS advocate, Dr. Boyd Graves. U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns threw Dr. Graves litigation out of court without comment today after Dr. Graves refiled last week.

“He (Judge Burns) has certainly violated the federal rules,” Graves said. “He dismissed the complaint prior because of “lack of service” on then U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales; however, he dismissed 'without prejudice.' In essence this federal judge got it both ways.”

Dr. Graves spearheads nearly a decade of litigation dedicated toward exposing the formerly secret U.S. Special Virus Program, a fifteen year covert virus development program that create thousands of liters of new synthetic and chimera type viruses. Dr. Graves and his legion of medical doctors and scientists state HIV/AIDS is the U.S. Special Virus.

“He allows for the continued secrecy of the federal program that made HIV/AIDS and precludes us from further bringing the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for “full disclosure” of the U.S. Special Virus Program.”

Graves has sued the government several times on this issue from Freedom of Information Act lawsuits for recovering the 'missing' documents to controversial litigation demanding 'make whole relief' reparations for every victim of HIV/AIDS and the U.S. Special Virus Program. Despite today's dismissal, Graves indicates litigation will continue.

Graves has posted the 1971 U.S. Special Virus Research Logic Flow Chart he discovered in 1999 on his web site www.boydgraves.com where he says over 4 million people around the world have now seen the government's formerly secret blueprint for making HIV/AIDS. Graves is the author of two books, “STATE ORIGIN,: The Evidence of the Laboratory Birth of AIDS” and “WORLD WAR AIDS: The Third World War” both books chronicling his fight against HIV/AIDS. The books follow Dr. Graves' important work from the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. General Accounting Office investigation to the woodlands of Africa. Dr. Graves continues presenting the evidence of the laboratory birth of AIDS to universities around the country.

A Solution to the AIDS Crisis

August 16, 2007

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker
House of Representatives
United States Congress
Washington, D.C. 20530

Re: A Solution to the AIDS Crisis

Dear Madam Speaker:

First let me say thank you for allowing your staff to contact me regarding the issue of the ORIGIN, VACCINE and CURE for HIV/AIDS.

Any review of the U.S. Special Virus (Cancer) program (1962 – 1978) will solve HIV/AIDS. According to page 2 of the 1971 progress report (#8), the purpose of the U.S. Special Virus program was to see if animal viruses (visna) could grow in certain human host cells. The 1971 progress report confirms visna had not yet been associated with human disease. See page 39.

At the July 18, 1983 AIDS Task Force meeting, Dr. Matthew A. Gonda confirmed that visna (not SIV) was the “etiological agent” of HIV/AIDS. Dr. Gonda then co-authored a science paper with Dr. Robert Gallo to further show the evolutionary relationship between HIV/AIDS and visna. See, Science, Vol 227, pp. 173 – 7, January, 1985.

In 1986, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reached the same conclusion. See, PROC NAS Vol 83, pp. 4007 – 11, June 1986. Further, in 1995, the NAS concluded that (because of the visna origin of HIV/AIDS), sheep were the best animal model for the testing of new HIV/AIDS inhibitors. See, PROC NAS Vol 92, pp. 3283 – 87, April 1995.

The sheep sequences in HIV/AIDS alone prove HIV/AIDS is the product of recombinant genetics. Otherwise, the United States would be able to cite a reference to the “cross species transfer” of visna into the human genome. There is none.


The visna virus has been nurtured over the past 75 years for the purposes of accomplishing a hidden eugenics plan of depopulation of people of color. The fifteen progress reports of the U.S. Special Virus program are filled with experiments and contracts on visna.

When this issue was previously presented to the government, prior to 9-11, the government found it convenient to postpone their report until June 2002. However, the report (below) was fraught with falsities for obvious reasons. The government did not respond to the people’s “Request for Factual Correction” (below).

Today, more than four million people have the 1971 flowchart blueprint of the Special Virus program. It proves that HIV/AIDS was designed and intended to be afflicted on the people. See, www.boydgraves.com/flowchart/
.
However, Phase IV-A holds the keys to some of the early work done to control and inhibit HIV/AIDS, including a 1972 VACCINE for HIV/AIDS.
As we have also pointed out, the government patented the CURE for AIDS in 1997. See , U.S. patent#5676977, www.uspto.gov .

U.S. House Resolution 15090, page 129 proves the U.S. Congress has consistently funded the continual development of HIV/AIDS in contradiction to the U.S. Constitution.

Madam Speaker, do I have an inalienable right to life or not?

Respectfully submitted,

Boyd Ed Graves, J.D.
