Update on hiv treatments

[Guest guest]

Just to let the group know, I received the most recent results of my CD4 count,

and they were up 70 over the previous four month period, for a total of 217.

This is progress, though for me personally, a bit disappointing. They are

higher now than they've been in years, but as great as I've been feeling lately,

I expected more. Oh well. This serves to underscore that most difficult lesson

of all to learn: things take longer than you want. Anyway, I plan to continue

taking my supplement regimen as outlined in previous posts, with the addition

of Beta Glucan and Carnosine, as well as the new, upgraged CoQ10

available from Life Extension. I'm still leaning toward suspending the use of

the pharmacuetical anti-virals, and relying instead solely on the use of blood

electrification protocols to keep my viral load down. (Curiously, the recent VL

tests aren't available yet.) I just can't help thinking that these drugs are

known

to be very toxic, and may very well be contributing to my ongoing immune

suppression. My next tests are only another four months from now, which to

my mind isn't that long a time to go without the drugs, despite all the fuss

that

my nurse practitioner and pharmacists would surely raise. Again, I view all the

information about these drugs, which comes exclusively from the drug

manufacturer, as no outside, objectve studies are ever done, as dubious at

best. In the past, when I've suspended the use of said anti-virals, there were

dire warnings about drug ineffectivity resulting, a consequence I have never

observed. So there. My liver seems to be tolerating their toxicity well, but for

how long?

Thanks to everybody for your continued support, I'll continue to keep you

posted.
