Are we putting too much faith in pharmaceuticals
by Bradford McIntyre
In the early years of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, no treatment meant peope went into action and sought out alternative therapies and supplements and created a network.
Many of those infected have lived the last 20 years or more without HIV drugs and dealth with it well due to nutritional supplements, alternative and complementary therapies.
We may have jumped the gun and put all our efforts into pharmeceuticlas when it comes to fighting AIDS.
For over 18 years, I have been living with HIV. I have gone without drug treatments for 13 of those years using alternative and complementary therapies instead. While on drug medications, I have included alternative therapies and have been able to decrease my viral load to undetectable!
Creating a healthy environment for the body can be addressed in many ways, incorporating nutrition, exercise, controlling stress, alternative therapies, herbal, botanical and dietary suppliments which contribute to its well being.
There are many who cannot tolerate or have not taken any anti viral drugs, who are living long and healthy lives, totally alive, full of vitality without them!
