AIDS and HIV infection

Adorable Individual Determined to SurviveCommon opinion has it that if you have been diagnosed with the HI virus, then you are automatically handed a death sentence through AIDS

Nothing could be further from the truth. Even though many people die every day from AIDS related diseases in countries all over the world, have you noticed that the disease does not spread as viciously within communities where people have access to a healthy diet of fresh foods and where immune systems are working well?

AIDS represents the end stage of the infection, and severe depression of the immune system, so the aim should be in building up the immune system and reducing the duplication of the virus through concentrated supplementation and changes in diet and lifestyle

Dietary & Lifestyle recommendations: (for HIV-positive patients not demonstrating AIDS)

  • Consume a diet of whole, unprocessed foods of vegetables, nuts & seeds, whole grains, legumes and fruits
  • Avoid all fatty foods except those containing extra virgin cold pressed olive oil
  • Consume enough protein on a regular basis
  • Engage in a high-potency supplement regime to boost your immune system and stifle reproduction of the virus (write and ask about our recommendations)
  • Eliminate alcohol, sugar and caffeine
  • Drink 2 litres of clean, non-bottled or well water a day
  • Eliminate food allergies
  • Do relaxation exercises (deep breathing, prayer or meditation) for 15 to 20 minutes a day
  • Get regular exercise such as non-strenuous walking, stretching, etc
  • Do not have intercourse with anyone known to be or suspected of having HIV or who use intravenous drugs
  • Practice safe sex
  • Don’t share a toothbrush, razor or any implement that could become contaminated with blood from an HIV positive person

NB There is concern over HIV and AIDS patients using Echinacea as it can stimulate replication of the HI virus.
