HIV

People infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can benefit significantly from the use of herbs and other safe, natural products nutraceuticals. There is no known cure for this condition, and no Chinese tonic herbalist would claim otherwise at this time. However, great progress has occurred in the past few years in the Western medical field. Individuals who are becoming apparently virus-free and many HIV-positive individuals are now able to lead normal lives with good prospects of living a long life.

However, Chinese tonic herbs should still be included in an immuno-compromised individual’s program because the tonic herbs are health promoting. They’re good for every one, especially those who need an extra boost. They provide an extra level of safety that is not available from the conventional diet. Just like everybody else, HIV-positive people can achieve new levels of health if they take advantage of these incredible tonic herbs. More information...

Formulations for HIV-Infected Individuals

HIV-infected people need tonic herbs. The fact that there is a viral infection, the fact that there is increased risk, the fact that the body is in a constant state of attrition, the fact that the HIV-positive individual is taking potent chemical drugs, the fact that life is already innately stressful – all these facts make it a very good idea to take as good a tonic herbal program as possible.

A whole range of powerful immune-potentiating formulas are also available and at least one or two should be included in the program. Examples of such formulations include Reishi Capsules, Protector 2000, Supreme Protector, Ron Teeguarden’s Super Pill, Four Kings (100 Caps) $36.00, and Astragalus Capsules.

It is very important to take a great general Jing tonic. Formulas like Shou Wu Formulation, Imperial Garden, Strength Builder, Supreme Creation, and Magu’s Treasure, etc. all can make a huge difference in both deep energy and possibly life span.

Likewise a great adaptogenic Qi tonic is also extremely beneficial. Some examples of such tonics include Super Adaptogen, Ginseng and Astragalus Combination, Complete Ten Supertonic, Formula for Restoring the Pulse, and Ginseng Nutritive Combination.



Discussion

There is no known cure for this condition, and no Chinese tonic herbalist would claim otherwise at this time. However, great progress has occurred in the past few years in the Western medical field. There are growing reports of individuals who are becoming apparently virus-free. Chinese tonic herbs may still be included in an immuno-suppressed individual’s program because the tonic herbs are health promoting. They’re good for every one, especially those who need an extra boost.

In the Orient, the Chinese tonic herbs and herbal formulations are believed to strengthen the body and mind, enhance immunity, improve functioning of the various organs, relieve stress and generally improve well being and even to lengthen life if consumed regularly over a long period of time. It is imperative that the immuno-compromised individual realize that it is not enough to eliminate the virus and other microbes if health is to restored. The Jing must be protected and rebuilt, Qi-production must be encouraged and all functions of the body must be fortified and harmonized, even if the virus is otherwise eradicated. Tonic herbalists in America use the Chinese tonic herbs to enhance normal functions. The herbs used are very safe, having been used for thousands of years and their safety has been further verified by modern studies in Japan, China and elsewhere.

It is highly encouraged that all people who are HIV positive visit their physician regularly and inform their doctor of all Chinese herbal products used. Do not consider the herbs to substitute in any way for treatment prescribed by the doctor.

A Chinese tonic herbal program is an individual thing. It is based upon the traditional concept that a strong, adaptable system will prove in most cases to survive, even under adverse conditions. Therefore a "general supertonic" formula is usually suggested. There are many such great general tonic preparations available today, and these can be used whether or not one is suffering from immune deficiency. Ginseng and Astragalus Combination is an example of such a super-tonic formulation.
