HIV: Food IS Medicine

If you're HIV-positive, it's essential to work closely with your physician to maintain your best possible health and wellness.

But what can you do outside your doctor's office to help maintain or enhance your overall health? The answers could be found in your grocery and health food stores, says holistic nutritionist Sally Kravich, M.S., C.N.H.P., author of Vibrant Living: Creating Radiant Health and Longevity.

“Food is medicine, there's no doubt about it,” says Kravich, who's worked closely with many clients who are HIV positive.

"An individual can do a lot to support themselves in addition to their medical treatment."

“To support your immune system, arm yourself with the best food containing the highest quality nutrients, along with maintaining a positive attitude. An individual can do a lot to support themselves in addition to their medical treatment."

When it comes to your diet, Kravich suggests four essential tips to enhance your overall health:

Support the Liver

Whether you're on HIV medication, or struggle with drug addictions, or even if you're newly diagnosed and medication-free, you must support your liver, says Kravich. “The liver is the hardest working organ in the body. It processes bacteria, viruses, drugs, medications, environmental toxins, along with being a digestive organ” says Kravich, who points to necessary daily supplements like milk thistle, dandelion and beet root to cleanse and strengthen your liver.

In addition, make sure to have plenty of Vitamin B12 (minimum of 2,000 mcg per day). Grape seed extract is a powerful anti-oxidant to add to this combination and much easier on the colon than large doses of Vitamin C.

Drop the Sugar

Sugar lowers the immune system and feeds unhealthy bacteria, fungus, mold, and parasites, which seriously impair your body's ability to defend itself from HIV. “If you need to sweeten, go natural,” with Sugar in the Raw, Agave nectar, Stevia or raw honey, says Kravich.

Take a Probiotic Acidophilus Combination

To counteract unhealthy bacteria (fungus, mold, parasites, etc.), take a probiotic supplement which will help your body absorb essential nutrients from food and enhance and strengthen your immune system.

"It is absolutely essential to take probiotics if you are on any drugs or medications," says Kravich. Unhealthy bacteria flourishes in the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed, so take a daily dose of this friendly probiotic bacteria for intestinal and immune support.

Make a Shake

To keep your muscle tone strong, you must have plenty of protein with amino acids. Making a daily protein shake is one of the easiest ways to keep protein levels up, says Kravich.

For a simple shake include:

--A simple protein powder, preferably organic whey, rice or hemp

--L. Glutamine (which aids the digestive system)

--A liquid base of rice mik, almond milk, or carrot juice

--A greens powder (which adds essential minerals)

--Natural fruit such as blueberries and banana OR papaya/mango and banana

Thanks for this interesting post. I have been looking for something like this for a while...

It's interesting that the Chinese have been using a system of food cures for centuries. Before there was medicine as we know it today, there was food. We have many simple ways already available to us to keep ourselves well and transform our health in the process. Using food as medicine is one of the best. It's just not promoted here in the US. No time like the present. http://www.Juicing101ebook1.com...good luck.

I have a friend with HIV and ever since the Dr. told him he had to change his diet... went from fast food twice a day to basically twice a month and started eating healthy, things have changed. Of course there is no scientific proof that is the reason, but I am sure it had to help.

[Protein Powder]

Very interesting article. One thing that gets missed alot by Oncologists is the fact that one should reduce consumption of simple sugars.

[Medicinal Food]

It's one of the oldest, non-Proudmoore, gay-friendly guilds out there.And they're working on getting a mirror guild on the Horde side now. Faerie Radikals. If you're on Suramar (which is a US west-coast based server), now you have two choices.

I was just watching this video and rneaidg some of the comments here. I really can't believe some of the stupidity found in some of these comments. AIDS is a group of symptoms from an immunosupressed person from HIV viral infection. Having antibodies to the HIV virus in the blood doesn't equal immunity. HIV is still very real and very dangerous.HIV is spread from cell to cell by free floating attachment to receptors on T4 cells, and viral synapsis.Look up the videos here on youtube showing this.

I was reading the news this morning and I came across a story that indicated no one in the history of the world has ever been cured of HIV/AIDS. The ABC news story highlighted a man who had a bone marrow transplant which left no traces of the disease in his body, and therefore he was the first in the world to have been healed of the disease. Yet I have heard many testimonies of people being healed of this disease by the power of God, so I finally decided to finally post one of the stories. God is a healer, and it does not matter what the disease is, HE is able. Every name must bow to the name of Jesus. Don’t be fooled by the media which will tell you that ‘some’ diseases are not curable.email now at ; drlawrencespelltemple@gmail. com

I was very nervous and had been searching for a cure to my HIV for a 2 years now. I was diagnosed of HIV in February 2015. I visited several medical hospitals for cure but all to no avail. I was searching online for help one late Friday night when i found some amazing reviews about Lord Advika. I decided to get a consultation with Lord Advika and I'm so glad I did. He presented to me the options of his cure services which i followed and just after a very very short period my HIV disappeared from my body as promised by Lord Advika. Lord Advikas work makes you feel very comfortable, cures very fast and he is always there to answer all your questions and give you the confidence and reassurance you need to have faith about having a positive outcome for your HIV cure. It has been 3 months since my HIV was cured by Lord Advika and so far I am very happy with my results. I definitely recommend Lord Advika to everyone who needs help to cure his/her HIV. You can consult him directly on his personal Email and Mobile: E-mail: [email protected] WhatsApp: +2348100663964
