Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Everyone after my last message was posted, I got this response from a member of this group. This is very powerful and touching to me. This is about as real as it gets. We all need to pay attention. Emery would have ignored this if he was well, but knowing what he later experienced, he would've probably done things alot differently. Please read the following from a personal email someone sent me and share your thoughts... ________________________________ Dear Randall, Could you forward this to the group for me. I don't want it my email posted on a public form for privacy reasons, so if you could remove it please. I could not have been a stronger proponent against the mainstream HIV/AIDS story 16 months ago. I believed that it was invented by ill-intended individuals and enjoyed by pharmaceutical companies for profit . I'm sure we all know that story. Being an alternative health practitioner I was thus dead set against ARV's, and spoke out against them. My best friend and partner however started to get very sick 16 months ago,,,and developed Karposi's Sarcoma, with three lesions on his skin and a severe infection in his lungs - one that virtually all people that have it do not survive from. Still in denial we refused an HIV test at first, believing this was all a hoax of sorts. But his illness was no hoax, and he continued to get very, very sick until we finally relented. He was indeed diagnosed HIV with the standard testing towards the end of his illness. Prior to that we had him on every single health enhancing protocol around - colloidal silver, all antioxidant, parasite herbs and zapping, ozone insufflation, etc etc. The list goes on and on. We were committed and consistant....and yet he got sicker and sicker and no alternative treatment pulled him out. At the end he was coughing blood, had a pulse of over 110 at resting, could not even walk 20 meters, weighed 50kg (normal weight is 65kh), and was on death's door. We had even discussed funerals and eulogies etc etc, as this was looking to be the most likely outcome. It was a very, very sad and scary time. Then...... Once he finally had the HIV test we never believed in........he started ARV's (HAART) and also had 12 sessions of chemo (Vin-Blastine) for the Kaposis's of the lungs. It was our last option. This was a year ago next month. To my surprise he IMMEDIATELY turned a corner, and though it took 2 months of hard work......he just got better and better. He is alive and very well today. Back at work, full of energy and has not had a single side effect from the drugs (barring some initial psychotropic affects, if that is the correct word - i.e. feeling very spaced out of the drugs for the first 2 months). There is no doubt in my mind that he would be dead today had he not taken the ARV's. Absolutely no doubt. I nursed him through it all to great emotional pain. Throughout this process, we never dropped all the alternative health methods we used. And we still belive they HELPED save his life in conjunction with the meds, but alone there were not enough. Today he still takes: Probiotics, Fish oils, Antiinflammatory herbs (turmeric), Liver herbs (milk thistle, to help deal with the drugs and metabolise them), Occasional kidney herbs (to help clear the drugs), Antiviral herbs (cycling olive leaf, Sutherlandia, Moducare, Revivo), Parasite herbs, and deworms every 2 months, Vit E/C/B-50, Colloidal silver when ill (but has not been ill in a year since recovery); Adrenal support (to aid his recovery after the stress)....and other things I can't think of now. Thyroid support He follows Dr Hulda s guidelines as best he can, and also got a lot of value from Patients work (one of the longest surviving HIV patients), who also believes you have to come at it from every angle, and his main teachings involve how to do this from the mind, using PNI - http://www.davidpatient.com/ This book was most, most helpful, especially the Dialogue with the Disease part - http://www.doublestorey.com/catalogue/itemdisplay.jsp?item_id=8341 & nav_id=2009 & t\ ier_id=3723 & qsHasChildren=true I am now a believer in the HIV/AIDS story as painted by the mainstream. I still get upset when alternative treatment is excluded and not embraced by the mainstream movement, as I doubt he would have made it without this support included. I get upset when governments promote HAART without including diet, herbs, lifestyle etc. I get even more upset when they want to cut of babies (and adults) foreskins under the misguided attempt to prevent HIV ...... and thus I know there are many gaps in the HIV/AIDS story as mainstream knows it....but I am grateful for the meds now...though ever suspicious of the pharmaceutical companies intent. ......but, my friend and partner would not be here today without HAART. Only 4 people in his life know he is HIV positive, and he works everyday and nobody tells him he looks ill from the meds. In fact everyone is telling him how well he looks. He survived due to the combination of mainstream meds and alternative treatment to support his body through it,,,,,and diet and mind/sprit work. In other words it all has value and if your life depends on it you WILL try them all. Two years ago I had a very, very different mind-set about HIV/AIDS and ARV's, but experience has changed it forever for me. I now believing my partner will be around for a very, very long time. The point I'm trying to make is that it can cost you your life to be dead-set against ARV's. They may have draw-backs and create problems, depending on how your body deals with them (and each body is unique in how it metabolises them), but to exclude them as an option.....may cost you your life. That was almost my story. Re: New Drug for HIV It is Spring. I have lots of energy. Depression comes and goes. A while back I asked this group about depression. It is a common problem for many here. For other groups and web sites to not allow conversation about alternative treatments is just wrong! I have always said we need everything we can get to fight this virus. Maybe I am fortunate this group has no moderator. We are all better off for that because we can discuss anything here including both alternative treatments and non alternative. I have met both here and it is a good thing. There are some very good people in this group and we all help eachother. New Drug for HIV I heard in the local news yesterday There is a new drug released in the market that prevents the spread of HIV During intercourse. Have you all heard about it ?!
