Vitamins

[Guest guest]

I'm very happy to hear of your good fortune.Unfortunately, the experience of one person is statistically meaningless.   There is no way of knowing if any single action you ever took, as an individual, changed the outcome of disease.  This is true for prescription medications, as well as supplements, meditation, or astrological signs.I do suspect that the greatest  harm that un-needed supplements do is damage to the pocket book, but give the finances of many people with HIV, that's not a minor consideration.On Aug 24, 2005, at 10:47 AM, PozHealth wrote:This study is interesting to me since I take  SuperNutrition Super  Blend  vitamins, which are excellent, along with an extensive list of other   antioxidants, additional individual vitamins, and supplements.  I have  taken these for  years.  During this time, I have seen my t cells increase,  my viral load go to  undetectable, my liver and kidney function normalize,   my cholesterol and  triglycerides are normal,  and the rest of my lab work  is within the normal  range.  I admit the drug combination I am on has  something to do with this, but  its the vitamins and supplements that have kept  me alive in the past when my  drugs werent working, and during this time, I  should have had major  complications, which I did not.  Contrary to this  study, my blood sugar levels have  also been normal.  This leads me to  believe, in my opinion, the guys that do  these studies are not always trying to  see if vitamins are beneficial, rather,  they are trying to find the negative to  scare people away from them.  Barrowpozbod@...
