DESCRIPTION

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the infection that leads to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV infection causes a breakdown in the body's immune system. A pregnant woman with HIV may pass the virus to her unborn child.

FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

For HIV infection (some of the symptoms of early HIV infection may mimic those of the first trimester of pregnancy or the flu).

• Fatigue.


• Unexplained weight loss.


• Recurrent respiratory and skin infections; fever.


• Swollen lymph glands throughout the body.


• Genital changes.


• Enlarged spleen.


• Diarrhea.


• Mouth sores.


• Night sweats.

---

CAUSES

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus); a virus (retrovirus) that invades and destroys cells of the immune system. HIV infection results in lowered resistance to other infections and some types of cancers.

---

RISK INCREASES WITH

Sexual contact with a man who has had sex with another man or woman that has been infected with the virus. Know your partner's sexual history. You and your partner may want to be tested before you begin having sex.

Multiple sexual partners. Your chance of getting infected with HIV increases with each sexual partner you have.

Risky sexual practices. The riskiest sex is vaginal or anal sex without a latex condom.

Use of contaminated needles for intravenous drug use. Ask about your partner's sexual history and whether or not he or she has ever injected drugs. With a partner using "shooting" drugs, the risk greatly increases your chances of HIV infection.

Transfusions of blood or blood products from a person with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

Current or past sexually transmitted disease.

Non-use of latex condoms when having sex. Latex condoms can help prevent the spread of HIV infection.

Health and emergency care workers, dental workers, as well as law enforcement officers may become infected from contaminated blood from a wounded patient, needle stick after giving an injection or drawing blood, handling blood vials or tissue samples in the laboratory, or exposure during surgical procedures. Any person working in a high risk profession should be tested regularly for hiv and viral hepatitis B and C. I personally knew of a emergency room physician that became infected from a needle stick while working on a hiv infected patient.

---

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

If trying to become pregnant, both you and your partner should consider HIV testing before having unprotected sex.

If artificial insemination is utilized for pregnancy, the donor should be tested first for HIV.

Avoid use of intravenous drugs of abuse. Never share needles if you do use drugs.

Avoid risky sexual practices. The riskiest is vaginal or anal sex without a latex condom. Anal sex poses the greatest risk because it is more likely to tear or break the skin or anal-rectal tissue. This makes it easier for HIV from an infected partner to enter the bloodstream.

If you are infected with HIV (or at risk of being infected) and become pregnant, seek special medical help from a health care provider or midwife with experience in HIV pregnancies.

If you work in a high risk profession involving hiv and hepatitis viral exposure, be tested frequently and take extra precautions and preventive measures.

If your are infected with HIV, it is recommended that breastfeeding should be avoided.

Condom Usage To Prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)

---

EXPECTED OUTCOME

Having HIV infection or AIDS does appear to have some effect on the pregnancy itself which could result in premature birth and low birth weight.

A pregnancy does involve the immune system and, therefore, may affect the course of an HIV infection (although the effect is probably small).

An average of 70 percent of infants born to HIV mothers do not become HIV infected.

---

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS

HIV infected baby.

TREATMENT

GENERAL MEASURES

Seek early medical help for your pregnancy. Special individualized care will be undertaken with referrals to any necessary support systems (e.g., counseling, social services).

Screening for other sexually transmitted diseases (syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B & hepatitis C and herpes simplex virus infection) is important.

Testing is recommended for other AIDS-related infections, such as tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, and cytomegalovirus (CMV).

Vaccinations for hepatitis B, and pneumococcal and influenza viruses may be suggested for susceptible patients. Be informed about the pros and cons of vaccinations before obtaining them. This is especially important during pregnancy. Some vaccinations (or most) should not be given during pregnancy. Do research and make an informed decision regarding this controversial method of obtaining immunities.

Special testing of CD4+ lymphocyte cell counts are usually done each trimester.

Avoid contact with people who have infections, e.g., colds.

The method of delivery (vaginal or cesarean) appears to have no effect on the possible transmission of HIV, however, discuss the delivery options with your midwife or health care provider.

Research continues into new drugs, treatment methods, and possible vaccines against HIV. Discuss current treatment options with your health care provider or midwife.

Additional information is available from the National AIDS Hotline (800) 342-2437; Spanish version (800) 342-7432.

MEDICATION

Most of the medications used to fight opportunistic infections in HIV pregnant women have not been shown to cause birth defects. Your midwife or health care provider will use caution, careful consideration and expert consultation in prescribing any medications or therapies. The benefits of the treatment for the mother needs to be weighed against the risks. Some infections are life-threatening.

Antiviral medication (zidovudine) is often recommended to reduce the risk of transmitting the HIV infection in the unborn child. This drug is taken during pregnancy and labor and also needs to be given to the newborn.

WARNING! There are no drugs that have been proven absolutely safe for your developing baby. Use extreme caution in taking any medications during pregnancy and then these should only be used after all other methods have been tried and with the careful guidance of your midwife or health care provider..

---

ACTIVITY

No special restrictions. Regular exercise, as permitted by the course of the infection and by the pregnancy is helpful. Correct nutritional diet, appropriate supplements, stress reduction, a proper environment, and a healthy mental outlook all play significant roles in keeping the immune system working adequately.

Avoid people with any type of infections, colds, flu or other illnesses that can be transmitted to you.

Avoid people who smoke and do not smoke yourself.

Obtain as much fresh air and rest as possible, and moderate amounts of sunshine.

Always use a condom (latex, not sheepskin) and spermicide (spermicide kills HIV) for any sexual contact. If you use a lubricant with a latex condom, use only a water based lubricant such as K-Y jelly; do NOT use petroleum jelly (Vaseline), vegetable shortening (Crisco), hand lotion, or baby oil, as these substances can break down latex in a matter of minutes. Be aware, however, that even the proper use of a condom is not a guarantee against the transmission of HIV.

Avoid alcohol, noxious chemicals, and everything else that can damage the liver.

Educate yourself. HIV and AIDS are complicated conditions and treatment options are constantly changing and expanding. In order to stay well, it is vital to be as informed as possible.

NUTRITIONAL & DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS

IMPORTANT: Pay special attention to meeting your nutritional needs and requirements, and keep in mind that a higher than normal intake of nutrients will probably be necessary. If you are pregnant, consult with your health care provider before taking any medication, herbal or dietary supplement. Some supplements and products recommended here, although may be recommended for your health issues, may not be appropriate for use during pregnancy and lactation.

Maintain good nutrition suitable for pregnancy. Keep in mind that a higher than normal intake of nutrients will probably be necessary. Malabsorption, altered metabolism and weight loss are common among patients.

The most comprehensive, intelligently formulated product available to support the vibrant health of your baby and yourself, these formulas include a complete range of the nutrients women and developing babies need, including folic acid, with whole foods and herbs to ease digestion.

Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat a diet consisting of 75 percent raw foods, organically grown if possible (avoid foods that have been treated with pesticides and other sprays), plus lentils, beans, seeds, nuts, and whole grains, including brown rice and millet, and also non-acid forming fruit, such as bananas, all berries, peaches, apples, and melons. Raw foods are particularly important because cooking depletes foods of their vital enzymes.

Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower. Also, consume yellow and deep-orange vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, squash, and yams.

Consume plenty of live juices. Juicing is extremely beneficial for supplying nutrients. Green drinks made from leafy greens such as kale, spinach, beet greens, and carrot and beet root juice, should be consumed on a daily basis, with garlic and onion added. Kyo-Green from Wakunaga is an excellent green drink product that contains chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Take this drink three time daily. (See nutrient chart and links below.) Wheatgrass is a rich nutritional food and blood cleanser. It reduces abnormal cell growth and fights unfriendly bacteria.

MoonDragon's Nutritional Therapy: Juicing

Daily nutritional "smoothies" made of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as fresh juices are particularly good and beneficial and easy to digest. Supplemental nutrients, oils, powders and extracts can be added to the juice or smoothie for easier intake and digestion.

Cooking tomatoes rather than eating them raw has been shown to more than double the effectiveness of the lycopene tomatoes contain. Lycopene, a phytochemical found in tomatoes, has been found to reduce the risk of prostate and lung cancer. The incidence of digestive cancers, such as those of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, intestines, and rectum, may also be lowered with correct dosages of lycopene. A study reported in the December 1995 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found a 45 percent lower risk of prostate cancer in men who regularly consumed ten or more servings of tomatoes or tomato-based foods per week than in those who did not.

Drink steam-distilled or quality bottled water (not tap water) or at least top quality bottled water, and lots of it - at least eight to ten 8-ounce glasses daily - to flush out toxins from the body. All cells and organ systems need water. Drink plenty of water even if you are not thirsty. The organs, and especially the brain, become dehydrated long before thirst develops. An adequate water supply can prevent kidney problems. This is especially important if you are taking indinavir sulfate (Crixivan).

BOTTLED WATER

Eat unripened papaya (including a few of the seeds), fresh pineapple (contains bromelain), and Aspergillus oryzae (a type of fungus) frequently. These foods are good sources of proteolytic enzymes, which are crucial for proper digestion of foods and assimilation of nutrients. Without enzymes, the body cannot be supplied with the energy it needs for its activities. These food items can be combined in a blender for a smoothie drink, if desired. Additional enzymes can be added and mixed into the drink blend. Enzymes are destoyed by heat. Canned and frozen foods (unless freshly frozen) have been heat treated during processing. Use only fresh foods. Enzymes can also be taken in supplemental form. These help in digestion in the lower stomach and intestinal tract.

SWEET SIMMERED MUSHROOMS - Shiitake No Nimono: Ingredients 4 medium to large dried shiitake mushrooms Simmering Sauce 1 cup water 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons mirin 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons sake ˝ teaspoon dashi-no-moto (kelp) powder Instructions Place mushrooms in a medium bowl and add warm water to cover. Soak dried mushrooms in warm water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes drain mushrooms and squeeze them dry. Cut off the discard stems. Prepare simmering sauce by combining all ingredients in a medium saucpan. Add mushrooms to simmering sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer mushrooms for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid had almost all evaporated and mushrooms are well coated with the sauce. Divide mushrooms and any remaining sauce between two small serving bowls. Serves 2. SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SOUP This soup is the one to make for someone who does not feel well or under the weather. It is more effective than the proverbial chicken soup since shiitake mushrooms are known to enhance the immune system. It also tastes wonderful. 1) Soak 12 dried shiitake mushrooms in 2 quarts water for 1/2 hour, or until they are soft. Remove them and squeeze the water back into the bowl. Soaking liquid should be reserved for the broth. Thinly slice the shiitakes. Set aside. 2) Chop 1 small onion, thinly slice 1 carrot, peel and slice 1 small yam. 3) In a soup kettle, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. First sauté the shiitakes until they turn golden, then add the onion. At the same time add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. As the onions begin to brown, add the carrot and yam. 4) Next add 1 cup Chinese cabbage, sliced thinly, 1 clove garlic, chopped, and 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated. Turn all vegetables in the pot frequently. Add more cooking oil only if necessary. 5) When vegetables are well-browned, add reserved shiitake soaking liquid and bring to a boil. Add a few leaves of fresh spinach, 1/3 cup shoyu (soy sauce), and fresh grated pepper. Taste and correct seasoning. 6) Serve hot, with sliced scallions on top. Optional: Cooked soba noodles (Japanese pasta made of buckwheat) add a pleasant texture to this soup. Serves 6 SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SAUTE Ingredients 16 ounces Shiitake mushrooms, diced small 1-1/2 ounces shallot, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 ounce butter 3 ounces carrot, julienned 1 ounce snow peas, julienned 2 ounces sake 1/2 ounce chicken glace 1/2 teaspoon thyme, minced season to taste salt and pepper Instructions Peel carrot and julienne. Clean and julienne snow peas. Mince shallot, garlic, and thyme. Saute shallot and garlic in butter. Add mushrooms and saute. Add carrot, and snow peas and saute. Deglaze with saki and reduce au sec. Remove from heat and add glace, thyme, and truffle oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Shitake recipes are innumerable and delicious. Shitake is also one of the most thoroughly researched and documented medicinal mushrooms. Not only do they have excellent nutritive value; they also are the source of at least two important components with proven pharmacological effects--LEM (Lentinula edodes mycelium extract) and Lentinin. These two components have demonstrated strong antitumor activity.

Limit your intake of soybeans and soy products, which contain enzyme inhibitors. Do not completely eliminate them from your diet, however, as they are valuable sources of protein.

Eliminate from your diet colas, foods with additives and colorings, junk foods, peanuts, processed foods, saturated fats, salt, sugar and sugar products, white flour, all animal proteins, and anything containing caffeine.

Take supplemental fiber daily. Alternate between psyllum husks and freshly ground flaxseeds. Take psyllium with a glass of water and drink it down before it thickens. Note: Always take supplemental fiber separately from other supplements and medications.

Determine what food allergies or sensitivities may be present. The best way to do this is to have yourself tested by a health care professional or allergist. It is important to eliminate allergy-inducing foods from the diet because they wreak havoc in the body, causing damage to the immune system.

Avoid allergens that trigger allergic responses. Allergies increase the speed at which HIV infection becomes AIDS. High levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), the antigen the body makes in response to allergens, make progression to AIDS roughly four times more likely in any 12 month period. In addition to working with the health care provider to reduce the risk of allergic reactions to the drugs in your treatment schedule, avoid exposure to airborne as well as foodborne allergens.

MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Allergies

Avoid alcohol, noxious chemicals, and anything else that can damage the liver. Do not smoke, and stay away from secondhand smoke. Avoid recreational drug use. Some drugs, notably cocaine and marijuana, may not affect HIV infection itself but can disable T-cell response to other kinds of infections.

Obtain as much fresh air and rest as possible, and moderate amounts of sunshine. Get more exercise. While immune suppression through the use of powerful drugs is harmful to people with HIV, immune suppression through strenuous exercise seems to help. People with HIV who exercise tend to have fewer complications and to progress much more slowly to AIDS. Ask at a local health club about designing an appropriate exercise regimen.

Take vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals and promotes immune function and helps support cardiovascular health. This vitamin may be able to slow the progression of HIV infection to AIDS. According to a report in the journal AIDS, those men with the highest blood levels of vitamin E experienced a 34 percent reduction in the risk of disease progression when compared with men who had the lowest blood levels of this vitamin. Studies in both humans and animals have shown that vitamin E supplements in doses up to 800 IU per day can increase the immune response to foreign particles.

To boost the body's ability to fight harmful free radicals, take glutamine, grapeseed extract, or Pycnogenol and vitamin C. Among people with very low T-cell counts (under 200), glutamine supplements (200 mg daily) greatly increase survival time. L-Glutamine, the free amino acid, is the single most abundant amino acid present in skeletal muscle. L-Glutamine may support muscle tissue by limiting the degradation of protein through nitrogen retention, glycogen synthesis, and protein synthesis. L-Glutamine may also assist in the fueling and detoxifying of the brain. Thus, L-Glutamine has been dubbed "the thinker's amino". L-Glutamine has muscle and brain tissue supporting qualities. Glutamine is an inexpensive and non-toxic treatment that works by supplying an amino acid needed for the production of glutathione (GSH), the body's principle free radical fighter. Glutathione, a natural sulfer-containing peptide, protects muscles from oxidative stress, acts in antioxidant and detoxicant systems and is also involved in amino acid transport across cell membranes. Studies show that grapeseed extract's antioxidant compounds protect cells against free radicals and help to improve circulation and strengthen blood vessels. Pycnogenol helps support the collagen structure of blood vessels and other tissues throughout the body. Pycnogenol is a Phytochemical antioxidant activity. Vitamin C is a GSH cofactor, or a substance that can make GSH more effective. Take at least 200 mg daily of Vitamin C, or eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day.

Of all the herbal products available for AIDS, Curcumin may be the most versatile for stopping the virus at every stage of infection. It deactivates the gene in HIV that takes the virus out of its dormant state. It contains chemicals that stop the action of integrase, an enzyme the virus needs to take over the DNA of an infected cells and it prevents the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a hormone that signals HIV if there are weakened or injured cells ready to be infected.

Colloidal Silver	As directed on label.	A broad-spectrum antiseptic that subdues inflammation and promotes healing of skin lesions.
COLLOIDAL SILVER PRODUCTS Colloidal Silver is a natural antibiotic. Can be used internally and externally. Silver is a powerful, natural, prophylactic / antibiotic, used for thousands of years. Colloidal Silver gets quickly to the body cells. Keep a spray bottle of it in the bathroom for feet, hands and face. Swishing the solution under the tongue briefly before swallowing ensures fast absorption. In three to four days the silver will have accumulated in the tissues sufficiently for benefits to begin. Since Colloidal Silver is eliminated by the kidneys, lymph system and bowel after three weeks, a regular daily intake is recommended as a protection against dangerous pathogens. In cases of minor burns, an accumulation of Colloidal Silver can hasten healing, reducing scar tissue and infection and topically it will remove pain and speed healing. The lives of millions of people susceptible to chronic low-grade infections can be enhanced by this powerful preventative health measure. Taken orally, the silver solution is absorbed from the mouth into the bloodstream, then transported quickly to the body cells. Swishing the solution under the tongue briefly before swallowing ensures fast absorption. In three to four days the silver will have accumulated in the tissues sufficiently for benefits to begin.

DMG PRODUCTS Aangamik DMG, a dietary supplement to support immune system, circulatory, cardiovascular, and neurological functions; muscle recovery and endurance. Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a nutrient that is found in the cells of both plants and animals. The human body produces DMG in very small amounts.

They have been issued five U.S. Patents for N, N-Dimethylglycine's value and use in improving immunity and for benefiting cellular processes. DMG reduces lactic acid build up in the muscle thereby shortening recovery time after strenuous exercise and improving endurance. DMG can benefit everyone regardless of age or activity level. Aangamik DMG is the only pure DMG product that contains no fillers or binders and is therefore pure and non-allergenic. Aangamik DMG is a chewable tablet that is naturally pleasant-tasting.

Bromelain	Tablets: Take 250-500 mg twice daily, between meals.	Helpful for joint health. An anti-inflammatory, blood and mucus thinner.
BROMELAIN ENZYMES PRODUCTS Bromelain is a proteolytic, that is, protein-digesting enzyme obtained from the stem of the pineapple palnt. Many health care professonals recommend bromelain for healthy, flexible joints. Bromelains effectiveness is due to its ability to maintain joint flexibility by reducing prostaglandins in the body. Bromelain can aid in the absorption of nutrients through the tissues and keep joints flexible. Bromelain increases absorption of quercetin. A natural, non-toxic protease inhibitor. Bromelain facilitates protein digestion when taken with food and acts as an inflammatory when taken on an empty stomach. It can heal minor injuries such as sprains, strains, muscle injuries, pain, swelling, and tenderness. The well documented anti-inflammatory effect of bromelain has been found very useful for many with sinusitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Because bromelain prevents platelet stickiness, it acts to thin blood and mucus. Some trials have show bromelain to be useful for those with asthma. Caution: People with allergies to pineapple may develop a rash from bromelain. If itching develops, discontinue use.

Plus Extra Vitamin B-3 (Niacin)	100 mg daily. Do not exceed this amount.	B vitamins improve circulation, build up red blood cells and aid liver function. Caution: Do not take niacin if you have a liver disorder, gout, or high blood pressure.
VITAMIN B-3 (NIACIN & NIACINAMIDE) PRODUCTS Vitamin B-3 Improves cerebral circulation. Caution: Do not take niacin if you have a liver disorder, gout, or high blood pressure. Niacin is also known as nicotinic acid. Niacin is an essential nutrient, positioned at the core of NAD/NADH and NADP/NADPH, which are major redox-active "electron storage" compounds. One or both of these "redox pairs" is involved in every major biochemical pathway. They participate in the trafficking of electrons as "reducing equivalents", the electron packets that facilitate metabolism. Niacin is involved in the production of energy, detoxification and the normal regulation of blood sugar and cholesterol. As a dietary supplement, 1 capsule two or three times daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Niacin can cause skin flushing and tingling (the "niacin flush"). Do not take large amounts of niacin (greater than 1.5 grams [1500 mg] per day) without first consulting a healthcare practitioner.

The letter ''P'' represents permeability factor, and it was given to this group of nutrients because they improve capillary strength and permeability. Citrus Bioflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that includes Rutin, Hesperidin, Quercitin, Eriodictyl and Citron, and they are essential for the absorption of vitamin C, which should be taken simultaneously, so they may act synergistically for maximum benefit. Citrus fruits are well known for providing ample amounts of vitamin C, but they also provide Citrus Bioflavonoids, which are located in the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits and may be found in grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, limes and oranges. Other sources of bioflavonoids include apricots, nuts, peppers, buckwheat, blackberries, black currants cherries, grapes, plums, prunes and rose hips. In addition, several herbs also provide bioflavonoids, including Chervil, Elderberry, Hawthorne Berry, Horsetail and Shepherd's Purse. Kalyx: Citrus Bioflavonoids Powder, Herbal Extracts Plus, 1 lb. Bottle Citrus Bioflavonoids Powder - Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. 1/2 teaspoon of powder is about equal to one capsule. Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Sources: Lemon (Citrus limon) and Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi).

Rutin	200-300 mg daily. Take with food.	Rutin is a buckwheat-derived bioflavonoid antioxidant. Enhances vitamin C absorption.
RUTIN BIOFLAVONOID PRODUCTS Rutin is a bioflavonoid, and it provides essential support molecules for vitamin C absorption (and should, in fact, be taken at the same time to gain maximum benefit). Rutin supplementation prevents the breakdown of vitamin C in the body before it is metabolized and intensifies its beneficial immune-enhancing effects in the body. With regard to eye health, the bioflavonoid, Rutin, is said to improve capillary integrity and believed to help lower ocular pressure when used in conjunction with conventional drugs. (Bilberry extract is particularly rich in Rutin and can be beneficial in cases of diabetic retinopathy.) Rutin may be very helpful in combating cataracts, macular degeneration (the most common cause of blindness) and free radical damage to the retina. The antioxidant activity that fights free radical damage appears to play a role in the prevention of cataracts and other forms of visual impairment. Because Rutin improves capillary integrity (it works synergistically with vitamin C in this regard) by protecting and preserving the structure (permeability) and strength of those capillaries, this action is said to be of great help for capillary fragility (easy bruising and bleeding) and venous insufficiency (varicose veins and spider veins). Because Rutin strengthens capillaries, it may be helpful in reducing the symptoms of hemophilia. The bioflavonoid, Rutin, is thought to lessen symptoms associated with prolonged bleeding and help in cases of bleeding gums and hemorrhage.

Vitamin D-3	400 mg daily.	Necessary for proper immune function. Aids in Calcium uptake and is necessary for healthy bones and teeth and is also needed for adequate blood levels of insulin. People in northern latitudes or those who do not drink adequate milk, at risk of osteoporosis, have dark skin, live in a cloudy environment, or get out in the sun very much will require more vitamin D-3 supplementation than people who live closer to the equator or sunbathe frequently. Vitamin D is made in our bodies when sunlight converts a chemical in the skin into a usable form of the vitamin. Due to the perils of too much sunlight, concerns have been raised about a decrease in Vitamin D levels particularly in at-risk groups. A deficiency of vitamin D may not only have an impact on bone health, but also immune function, mood and birth weight. Alongside calcium, vitamin D is considered one of the big 3required nutrients together with folic acid and omega 3-fatty acids. Vitamin D deficiency is more common in strict vegetarians (who avoid vitamin D-fortified dairy foods), dark-skinned people, alcoholics, and people suffering intestinal malabsorption disorders such as celiac disease, reduced liver or kidney function.

If you are pregnant, consult with your health care provider before taking any herbal or dietary supplement. Some supplements and products recommended here may not be appropriate for use during pregnancy.

SCUTELLARIA (SCULLCAP): During the cold and flu season, use the herb scutellaria to prevent viral infections. Take one or two 1,000 mg capsules 3 times daily. Scullcap can take the edge off anxiety and promote sleep for those who struggle with insomnia. For General purposes - This herb can be used to treat muscle spasms, relieve tension headaches, and lessen the symptoms of anorexia nervosa, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and restless legs syndrome. Scullcap is also used to ease drug or alcohol withdrawal. Scullcap can be combined with valerian root for use as a sedative for anxiety, nervous muscle spasms, twitches and general convulsions. Scullcap works for reducing the symptoms of PMS when taken with chaste tree or false unicorn. This herb also can help reduce fever, and stimulate digestion and liver function. Caution: Exceeding recommended doses of Scullcap tincture produces giddiness, stupor, mental confusion, twitching, irregular heartbeat, and epileptic-like symptoms. Scullcap should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Scullcap should not be taken if you are taking anti-anxiety medications, barbiturates, or other sedative medications. To take as a supplement, 1/2 teaspoon of powder is about equal to one capsule. Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes.

CURCUMIN (TURMERIC): Of all the herbal products available for HIV infection, curcumin (turmeric) may be the most versatile for stopping the virus at every stage of infection. It deactivates the gene in HIV that takes the virus of its dormant state. It contains chemicals that stop the action of integrase, an enzyme the virus needs to take over the DNA of an infected cell. And it prevents the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a hormone that signals HIV if there are weakened or injured cells ready to be infected. Curcumin blocks cancer causing chemicals, because it is anti-angiogenic. Curcumin inhibits COX-2 enzyme that promotes cancer growth. Curcumin stimulates the p53 gene, the defense mechanism of the body which causes tumor cell death. Curcumin inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor site which is necessary for cancer cell growth. Turmeric is useful as an anti-inflammatory and can be used to reduce Alzheimer's debilitating effects, but there are multiple studies that suggest curcumin can have some potential in actually treating various forms of cancer. Suggested Dosage or Use: Take 6-12 drops tincture in liquid or under the tongue, 1-3 times/day. As an herbal dietary supplement, take 1 vcap, 2 to 3 times daily, preferably with meals.

ANDROGRAPHIS decreases HIV viral load and increases T-helper cell counts. General use: Practitioners of Chinese medicine believe that Andrographis affects the large intestine, lung, stomach, bladder, liver meridians or energy pathways in the body. It is thought to dispel heat (such as that associated with fever or infection) and is used primarily as a broad spectrum antibiotic and immunostimulant (stimulating the immune system) for a variety of bacterial, viral and parasitic conditions, including influenza, intestinal infections, hepatitis, pneumonia and infected wounds. Studies have shown that Andrographis can reduce the severity of cold symptoms, and in one study it was found to increase resistance to colds. The standard dosage of Andrographis is 400 mg 3 times a day. As always if you have any questions read the label or refer to your health care provider. Caution: Andrographis should not be used in cases of deficient, cold intestinal conditions. When used in long term or in extra large doses, this bitter and cold herb may damage the stomach, causing gastric distress and loss of appetite.

EPIMEDIUM (Horny Goat Weed) stimulates testosterone production and prevents muscle wasting. Form and dosage as recommended by your TCM practitioner. General Information: Horny Goat Weed, also known as Epimedium or Yin Yang Huo, was first described in ancient classical Chinese medicinal texts an aphrodisiac which was used to increase libido in men and women, and improve erectile function in men. Used by practitioners for over 2,000 years, Horny Goat Weed not only holds an important place in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but is gaining popularity around the world. Even though the exact way that Horny Goat Weed works remains unknown, the plant has long been employed to restore sexual fire, boost erectile function, decrease fatigue and lessen menopausal discomfort. It produces a warm almost euphoric effect on the body. Due to recent interest in Horny Goat Weed, it is expected that more investigation and research about this herb will occur. Horny Goat Weed can be consumed as a tea, encapsulated powder, or liquid herbal extract. The Chinese frequently chew the leaves. There is no definable taste so the herb can be sautéed and included with many cuisines. Read product label directions for recommended dosage. As far as it is known, Horny Goat Weed is a safe, and benign herb. Science and/or clinical research has not substantiated any attributes of Horny Goat Weed. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease is unknown.

ASTRAGALUS: Boosts the immune system. Astragalus has been found to promote the formation of antibodies and increase the production of T-cells, on of the body's key lines of defense against disease and prevents strep infections. A recent clinical trial verified the herb's ability to boost the supply of infection-fighting white blood cells. Astragalus also has a proven ability to boost heart function and improve cardiac output. It helps relieve chest distress and breathlessness due to a weakened heart. Scientific studies of this herb have shown it to be effective on cancer and HIV patients by restoring compromised immune cells. Chinese scientists have found that Astragalus protects the body from absorption of toxic chemicals into the liver. Other research shows that people using this herb had less angina than those given heart drugs such as nifedipine. Chinese people consider Astragalus to be a better energy tonic for young people than ginseng. This herb is also used to help ward off or treat colds, improve heart function, memory, and learning, and promote the healing of wounded skin. Astragalus works well in treating anorexia, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, malaria, kidney inflammations, painful urination, prolapsed uterus, uterine bleeding, edema, water retention, constipation, fever, and generalized weakness. Although many people take Astragalus at the onset of cold or flu symptoms, the Chinese believe taking huang qi at that time will cause the infection to go deeper. They instead use it while healthy as a defense shield against future illnesses. The recommended daily dosage of Astragalus is 9 to 30 grams of dried root boiled to make tea. There are Capsules, Tablets, Fluid Extract, Dried Root and prepared tea to be taken for this herb. For best results, consult with your health care provider for the treatment of your condition. For HIV - Capsules: Take 500-1000 mg 3 times daily. Caution: Do not use this herb if you have a fever or a skin infection.

It is very much in demand worldwide. Its antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties have led researchers to study goldenseal root as a possible alternative to chemical antibiotics. Goldenseal also appears to promote healthy glandular function, and may have a tonic and detoxifying effect on the entire system. Goldenseal boosts the immune system, helps with colds, flu, infection, inflammation, heals mucus membranes, helps digestion problems. Topically it has been used for skin and eye infections (such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis), as a mouthwash for soothing canker sores, and as a tea for diarrhea, upper respiratory and vaginal infections. Because of its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic actions, it is useful for cleaning wounds, reducing hemorrhoids, and alleviate skin infections (including ringworm and athlete's foot). The two primary alkaloids in goldenseal are hydrastine and berberine, along with smaller amounts of canadine. They have demonstrated antimicrobial effects against a wide range of bacteria, protozoa, and fungi, including Chlamydia species, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Candida albicans and Entamoeba histolytica. Suggested Usage: Take 1/4 teaspoon or less, in water or juice, 2 times per day. Maximum Usage: 5 consecutive days. Store in cool, dark place. Keep out of reach of children.

CAYENNE (CAPSICUM) PRODUCTS Cayenne Pepper contains beta-carotene; beta-ionone, citric acid, hesperidin, imonen, lutein, and quercetin just to name a few. It also contains capsaicin, which reduces pain and inflammation. When combined with other herbs, Cayenne Pepper helps increase their effectiveness by helping them enter the blood stream faster. Capsaicin can also stimulate and then desensitize the warmth detectors in the hypothalamus gland so that a drop in body temperature is evident. This enables natives in hot southern climates like Central and South America and Africa, to tolerate the heat a lot better than we would. Cayenne Pepper has been known for its ability to aid in digestion, improve circulation, and reduce or stop bleeding from stomach ulcers. Taken internally it stimulates circulation and induces sweating to break a fever. Some native people of Thailand believe that eating Cayenne everyday helps reduce blood clots. Herbalists recommend it to treat colds and infectious diarrhea, arthritis and rheumatism. There is scientific evidence that suggests adding Cayenne Pepper to meals boosts vitamin C levels and revs up the metabolism. This pepper is also used with lobelia to help soothe nerves. It is beneficial for the heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, spleen, and stomach. In naturopathic medicine, Cayenne Pepper is combined with lemon juice, and salt to relieve even the worst sore throat pain for up to 4 hours. It also fights viral infection. When applied topically in a lotion or salve Cayenne works to soothe muscle aches and pains associated with arthritis, rheumatism, backache, strains and sprains. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Capsaicin for pain caused by shingles, an adult disease that is caused by the virus that causes chicken pox in children. Such over-the-counter (OTC) creams as Zostrix or Heet contain capsaicin and are applied externally to treat rheumatic and arthritic pains, cluster headaches, diabetic foot pain, fibromyalgia, and post-herpetic nerve pain. These creams usually contain 0.025-0.075 percent capsaicin. In 2002 there was some research done that helped to determine Capsaicin's pain relieving effects. Creams that contain the compound lowered pain in arthritis sufferers' hands by 40 percent when used four times a day. A study done for pain from long-term shingles found that 77 percent of the people had reduced pain after using the cream for four months. The study also said that Capsaicin containing ream is less expensive and safer than other painkillers used for the same conditions. Cayenne Pepper comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. For taking capsules, the recommended daily dose is 1 capsule 2 to 3 times a day. Adults and children two and above can safely use it topically 3 to 4 times a day. For treating a sore throat, combine the juice of one-half lemon or lime with one full tablespoon of salt. Stir both into one-half cup of lukewarm distilled water. Stir in one-quarter teaspoon of Cayenne pepper. Gargle as needed, but do not swallow.

CHINESE CUCUMBER, also known as Chinese Snake Gourd (Trichosanthes kirilowii), seeds and peels inhibit cancer. This plant is commonly used in Chinese herbalism, where it is considered to be one of the 50 fundamental herbs. Recent research has isolated a protein called 'trichosanthin' in the roots and this is undergoing trials as a possible remedy for AIDS and is currently being used in AIDS research.

The fruit (Gua Lou Shi) is antibacterial, anticholesterolemic, antifungal, depurative, emollient, expectorant and laxative. It is used in the treatment of pulmonary infections with yellow and thick sputum, chest pains, stuffy feelings in the chest, constipation and dry stool. It has an antibacterial action against E. coli, Bacillus dysenteriae, B. typhi, B. paratyphi, Pseudomonas, Vibrio cholerae, V. Proteus etc. The fruit is traditionally prepared as a winter soup to ward off colds and influenza. The rind of the fruit (Gua Lou Pi) is used to treat a number of ailments, including cancer, jaundice, retained placenta, bronchial infections with thick phlegm and sore throat. The seed (Gua Lou Ren) is antitussive, emollient and expectorant. The root is antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, febrifuge, galactogogue, laxative, oxytocic, sialagogue and uterine tonic. The fresh root (Gua Lou Gen; Tian Hua Fen) has been noted for centuries as an abortifacient - a sponge soaked in its juice was placed in the vagina and induced an abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy. The root is taken internally in the treatment of diabetes, dry coughs, and to assist in the second stage of labor. The root and/or the seed is powdered and used in the treatment of mammary cancer.

GINKGO BILOBA extract is good for the brain cells and circulation. In Germany, Ginkgo is the most widely prescribed herb, as it is considered to be as effective as drug treatments used for treating Alzheimer's disease and other severe forms of memory and mental function decline. Preliminary studies show that this herb is helpful in ordinary age-related memory loss as well. Germany's Commission E recommends Ginkgo for circulation problems that arise from hardening of the arteries. Some studies are showing promise in Ginkgo's ability to reverse impotence or difficulty achieving orgasm when caused by certain antidepressant drugs. Chinese research suggests this herb can improve the effectiveness of schizophrenia medications and possibly limit their side effects as well. Another study shows that Ginkgo is beneficial in relieving the bloating and fluid retention as well as the emotional disturbance associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Many people have used Ginkgo for macular degeneration, depression, complications of diabetes, and Raynaud's phenomenon; however, there is no evidence to support its effectiveness. It is also beneficial for asthma, dementia, depression, eczema, headaches, heart and kidney disorders, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). This herb can ease symptoms of altitude sickness as well. As a topical medication, Ginkgo is used to treat lesions on the fingers, toes, heels, ears, and nose caused by exposure to extreme cold, and using Ginkgo in wound dressings can improve circulation in the skin and promote quick healing. The recommended dosage of Ginkgo is 40 to 80 mg 3 times daily of a 50:1 extract standardized to contain 24 percent Ginkgo-flavone glycosides. For best results, consult with your physician for the treatment of your condition.

LICORICE PRODUCTS Licorice (Glycyrrhzin) used for HIV / AIDS increases T-cell counts and preserves immune function. General Uses: It is taken orally (DGL form) for ulcers, heartburn (esophageal reflux), and mouth sores. Other oral uses involving the whole herb is the treatment of coughs, asthma, and chronic fatigue syndrome. In its topical form (whole herb), Licorice can be used for eczema, psoriasis, and herpes. Scientific studies suggest regular use of DGL can heal ulcers as well as some over the counter medications; however, they must be taken regularly or the ulcer will return. For Ulcer Pain - chew two to four 380-mg tablets of DGL before meals and at bedtime in conjunction with conventional medical care. For Mouth Sores - Sucking on the tablets will relieve the pain. For best results, follow the directions listed on the label. For Respiratory Problems - Take orally 1 to 2 grams of licorice root 3 times daily, not to exceed a week. For Eczema, Psoriasis, or Herpes - Apply licorice cream to affected area twice daily.

Caution: Do not use licorice if you have glaucoma, high blood pressure, or an estrogen-dependent disorder such as breast cancer, endometriosis, or fibrocystic breasts. Caution: Do not use licorice on a daily basis for more than seven days in a row. Avoid it completely if you have high blood pressure.

WILD YAM PRODUCTS Various species of Wild Yam grows throughout North and Central America, and Asia, and has been used to treat indigestion, coughs, morning sickness, gall bladder pain, menstrual cramps, joint pain, and nerve pain. The primary, but incorrect use of Wild Yam as a source of women's hormones is based on the misconception that Wild Yam contains progesterone and DHEA. Wild Yam contains chemicals that chemists can use only as a starting point to manufacture progesterone. This herb does not contain progesterone. Some Wild Yam products have progesterone in them, but it is a synthetic progesterone that has been added to the product. Do not discount the use of Wild Yam as it can still be used to relax muscle spasms, reduce inflammations, and promote perspiration. This herb can be used for menstrual cramps or pain, menopausal symptoms, rheumatic conditions, and gallbladder complaints. Wild Yam is also used to treat colic, gallbladder disorder, hypoglycemia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), kidney stones, neuralgia, and rheumatism. Wild Yam comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. For best results, read and follow product label directions.

MAGNOLIA VINE BERRIES (Schisandra Berry; Schizandra Fruit) is a Chinese remedy that will increase oxygen absorption and boost the immune system. They coordinate the activities of the internal organs and help control the balance of its body's physiological processes. Schizandra Fruit helps the body adapt to stress and nourishes the nervous system. Schizandra is listed among China's most important herbs. Schizandra is currently popular worldwide as a tonic and in Asia as a food. Use as directed on product label. Pregnant and nursing women should not use Schizandra (it is a uterine stimulant). People who have gallstones or blockages of the bile ducts and those with peptic ulcers, epilepsy and very high blood pressure should also avoid Schizandra. Do not take Schizandra if you have intracranial (in the head) pressure.

SCHIZANDRA FRUIT - SCHISANDRA BERRY - MAGNOLIA VINE BERRIES PRODUCTS Schisandra Berry is considered an adaptogen, in that it normalizes body functions during stressful situations that might alter those functions, helping the body to adapt and return to an overall sense of well-being and increasing the body's resistance to disease and stress. It is also said the Schisandra helps to energize RNA and DNA molecules to rebuild cells. Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to remedy liver ailments, Schisandra has maintained its fine reputation as a support to strengthen the liver. It is considered a cholagogue, or substance that increases the production of bile in the liver and delivers it to the gastrointestinal tract. It is said to protect against the progression of cirrhosis into liver cancer and also protect the liver from chemical damage, particularly damage from chemicals that have to be activated by the liver to become poisonous, such as carbon tetrachloride. In addition, laboratory studies have demonstrated its ability to make the enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, which deactivates several kinds of toxic free radicals that attack the outer membranes of liver cells. This substance is believed to offset damage done to the liver by chronic viral hepatitis, alchohol and HIV/AIDS. Schisandra contains lignin compounds that are said to lower high levels of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in the blood, which is an indication of hepatitis. Further support for the liver comes in the form of another constituent in Schisandra, gomison-A, which blocks the production of inflammation-inducing leukotrienes. Gomison-A helps to prevent liver inflammation and tissue destruction (without compromising the immune system's ability to fight the underlying infection). This substance also helps to stimulate the growth of healthy liver tissue and helps to hasten recovery after liver surgery. Schisandra is thought to balance the body's functions and improve mental function. Active con-stituents help to relieve emotional and physical depression and reverse depression of the central nervous system. The herb is said to reduce fatigue and physical exhaustion, as well as improve stamina and physical performance and increase the body's capacity to work. Moreover, it is also said to help sharpen mental ability and concentration and counter forgetfulness. Animal data suggests that Schisandra increases metabolism via induction of cytochrome P450 and/or glutathione reductase pathway. For thousands of years, Schisandra has been cherished by Chinese women (and men) to combat ageing. Women have utilized it as a tonic to preserve their beauty and maintain youthful skin, and both men and women use it as an aphrodisiac. In men it is also thought to increase sexual stamina. Schisandra is considered a mild sedative that exerts a soothing and quieting effect on the body, and has been helpful in cases of insomnia, stress, dizziness, motion sickness, excessive sweating, headache, heart palpitations, anxiety and other problems associated with emotional stress. Furthermore, Schisandra increases the efficacy of prescription tranquilizers (Valium, Librium, etc.), allowing patients to take lower doses of these potentially addictive drugs. Schisandra is said to improve digestion. The increased bile flow from the liver hastens the digestion of fatty foods and improves utilization of the digested foods, which is thought to relieve many digestive-related disorders, including chronic gastritis, heartburn and indigestion, while it provides a healthy atmosphere for clear, problem-free skin. Considered a kidney tonic, Schisandra is believed to balance bodily fluids, and as such, it is used to treat night sweats, excessiving perspiration, urinary incontinence and the frequent urge to urinate. In contrast, if there is fluid imbalance, Schisandra also helps to promote the production of body fluid when needed and quench thirst. Schisandra is mildly astringent and helps to control diarrhea, spontaneous sweating and dysentery.

PAU D'ARCO is a natural antibiotic and potentiates immune function. It is also a powerful antioxidant and is good for destroying candida in the colon. American herbalists use this herb to enhance liver function and to help lessen the effects of AIDS, allergies, cardiovascular problems, inflammatory bowel syndrome, rheumatism, tumors, and ulcers. The key ingredient in Pau D'Arco is lapachol. In the 1970s, studies of lapachol showed promise in destroying cancer cells; however, its use produced severe side effects such as blood-clotting abnormalities, anemia, and nausea, so further studies were abandoned. While high doses are not recommended for treating cancer, moderate amounts have been found to be very useful as an immune booster while fighting cancer, HIV, AIDS, bronchitis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Pau D'Arco bark has also been used to treat fungal infections, yeast infections, smoker's cough, warts, and acne. The standard dosage for internal use is with products standardized to contain 2 to 7 percent lapachol, although an effective alternative is a product that contains 3 percent naphthoquinones. If using a tincture or liquid extract formulation as an external treatment, you may need to dilute it with a small amount of water or vegetable oil if skin becomes irritated. If skin irritation continues after dilution, discontinue use. If treating genital warts, dilution is necessary. If using as a tea, it is best to take with food to avoid stomach upset. If stomach upset continues, stop taking the herb altogether. This potent herb may pose health risks when taken internally for more than a week so it is suggested you use only for a week at a time.

SAW PALMETTO Regulates testosterone and prevents muscle wasting. For AIDS, take tablets, 320 mg twice daily between meals. General Information: Germany's Commission E recommends Saw Palmetto as an accepted medical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). New Zealand, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, as well as other European countries, use Saw Palmetto and is regarded as the "gold standard" against which new prostate drugs must prove themselves. Saw Palmetto does not just relieve symptoms, but it actually has been shown to shrink and retard the enlarged prostate. It is also used for treating prostatitis (prostate infection). Using Saw Palmetto may also enhance sexual functioning and sexual desire. Due to its inhibiting the conversion of testosterone it may also inhibit hair loss. It is also used to treat acne, bladder inflammation, breast enlargement or reduction, bronchitis, cough, diabetes, digestive aid, diarrhea, high blood pressure, hormone imbalances (estrogen or testosterone), impotence, indigestion, menstrual pain, migraine headache, muscle or intestinal spasms, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, polycystic ovarian syndrome, postnasal drip, and uterine or vaginal disorders. Saw Palmetto comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. The recommended dosage of Saw Palmetto is 160 mg twice a day of an extract standardized to contain 85 to 95 percent fatty acids and sterols; however, a single dose of 320 mg seems to be just as effective. Taking more than the recommended dose does not produce better results.

ECHINACEA is an immune stimulant, and debate has been going on for the several years on whether or not someone with AIDS should use it or avoid it since people with autoimmune disorders are advised to avoid it and debate has been over whether or not AIDS is an autoimmune disorder.

See MedHerb.com Materia Medica: Echinacea Contraindications for more information about Echinacea and AIDS and autoimmune disorders.

Medical Herbalism: Materia Medica and Pharmacy By Paul Bergner Medical Herbalism 03/31/97 9(1): 1, 11-14 Full Article: Echinacea Contraindications AIDS A debate has gone back and forth in herbal circles for at least the last ten years in the U.S. about whether echinacea is contraindicated in HIV infection or AIDS. I have been unable to locate any published case reports where echinacea worsened the symptoms of AIDS, even though AIDS patients commonly take echinacea (Kassler et al 1991; Gowan et al 1993). Objections to the use of echinacea in AIDS have been theoretical, not based on empirical evidence. T-4 CELL LEVELS I was partly responsible for spreading the rumor that echinacea can lower T-4 cell counts, when I stated such a contraindication in an article in East-West magazine in August 1986. My reasoning was based on a just-published article showing that echinacea administration could lower T-4 cell counts, with T-8 cells remaining stable (Gaisbauer and Zimmerman, 1986). Since AIDS is characterized by a decline in T-4:T-8 cell ratios, it seemed reasonable to avoid echinacea. Further examination, however, shows that this trial was done with daily injections for seven days, rather than oral use. It is now well-known that frequently-repeated injections have this effect, although it has not been noted with oral use. In fact, one clinical trial showed a steady improvement in cell-mediated immunity over a period of ten weeks with oral echinacea administration (Coeugniet and Künast 1986). Another trial showed that oral echinacea was most effective at preventing infections in those with low T-4:T-8 ratios (Schöneberger 1992). There is no evidence of any need to avoid the oral use of echinacea to maintain T-4 cell levels. AUTOIMMUNITY & AIDS The second theoretical objection to using echinacea in AIDS comes from the theory that AIDS has an autoimmune component. In the 1990s the theory emerged among leading AIDS researchers that the HIV virus initiated a series of events that left parts of the immune system attacking itself. So the objection is that immune stimulation by echinacea could hasten this autoimmune attack. This autoimmune component of AIDS no longer plays a prominent role in the theory of the dynamics of the disease. Current opinion is that vital replication in massive amounts is countered by likewise large formation of T-cells, until gradually, usually over years, the virus wins the battle (Wei 1995). The declining number of T-cells leaves the immune system fatally weakened. This theory is supported by newer drug therapies which have led in the last two years to a decline in AIDS deaths in the U.S. and France, and, if this theory is correct, there is no theoretical reason to avoid echinacea on the basis of fears of stimulating autoimmunity. It may remain prudent to monitor the status of AIDS patients taking echinacea.

However, many AIDS infected individuals do use the herb as a way to boost their immune system and stimulate T-Cell replication (rumor is that it also will stimulate viral replication too, but this may not have any scientific fact behind it to date). If you decide to use it, use only oral administrations of the herb. Do not use injections.

I will supply links to Echinacea products below and let you decide whether or not you wish to use the herb. However, if you do have an autoimmune disorder such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, then you should avoid using echinacea. Consult with your health care provider if you have questions or concerns about whether or not to use this herb as part of your nutritional therapy.

ECHINACEA:

Three species of the Echinacea herb are useful in medicine: Echinacea augustifolia, Echinacea purpurea, and Echinacea pallida. Research has shown that Echinacea increases production of interferon in the body, which helps increase antiviral activity against influenza (flu) and herpes, an inflammation of the skin and mouth. It is antiseptic and antimicrobial, with properties that act to increase the number of white blood cells available to destroy bacteria and slow the spread of infection. This herb is thought to be an immune stimulant. Taking this herb at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms can actually shorten the term of a cold or even abort it when caught early enough.

Echinacea is usually taken at the onset of a cold or flu and continued for 7 to 14 days. When using a powdered extract, take 300 mg 3 times a day. The standard dosage of an alcohol tincture (1:5) is 3 to 4 ml 3 times daily. For Echinacea juice, take 2 to 3 ml 3 times a day, and the whole root, 1 to 2 g, 3 times a day. Echinacea comes in many forms: Capsules, Tablets, Powder and Tincture, the best result is to follow the instructions on the package.

The human body produces DMG in very small amounts. DMG is an antioxidant and methyl donor that has a number of beneficial effects. It is a dietary supplement to support immune system, circulatory, cardiovascular, and neurological functions; muscle recovery and endurance. Supplementing the diet with higher levels of DMG greatly improves the nutritional environment of the cell. Dimethylglycine has been found effective in supporting immune system function and better utilization of oxygen at the cellular level. It has shown to have potential in increasing immune response to the flu and salmonella. DMG reduces lactic acid build up in the muscle thereby shortening recovery time after strenuous exercise and improving endurance. Biochemists classify DMG as an intermediary metabolite, but in simpler terms, it may also be called a food. Scientific research has shown that supplementing the diet with higher levels of DMG greatly improves the nutritional environment of the cell. DMG can benefit everyone regardless of age or activity level.

Arginine and Ornithine are amino acids that are components of the urea cycle. Urea is the major end product of protein metabolism. Ammonia, the product of amino acid breakdown, is toxic and must be removed from the body. The urea cycle or the ornithine cycle describes the conversion reactions of ammonia into urea. Since these reactions occur in the liver, the urea is then transported to the kidneys where it is excreted. Lysine is an essential amino acid that is known for its role in the maintenance of nitrogen balance. Together these amino acids are critical for protein metabolism. This supplement should be avoided by persons with glaucoma or herpes simplex unless otherwise prescribed by a health care provider. Do not use if you have had a myocardial infarction or have established coronary artery disease.
