74 countries post moderate hike in new HIV infections

Based on a study from the Global Burden of Disease collaborative network, published in The Lancet HIV, 74 countries, including the Philippines, showed new HIV infections between 2005 and 2015 significantly slowed down. 

New infections of HIV went down by an average of only 0.7 percent per year between 2005 and 2015, compared to the 2.7 percent drop per year between 1997 and 2005.

HIV/AIDS “remains very high by any standard,” United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS founding executive director Peter Piot said, commenting on the study.

 “It means really that AIDS is not yet over and that HIV/AIDS remains one of the biggest public health threats of our time,” he said.

The Need for Nutritional Supplementation

People with HIV/AIDS may consider supplementing their diet with vitamins and minerals nutrients in the hope of protecting or strengthening their immune system, or maintaining or promoting their general health, weight or body shape. HIV/AIDS specialists advise that a healthy, balanced diet is enough.

There is compelling evidence that micronutrient deficiencies can profoundly affect immunity; micronutrient deficiencies are widely seen in HIV/AIDS patients. Direct relationships have been found between deficiencies of specific nutrients, such as vitamins A and B12. Deficiencies appear to influence vertical transmission (vitamin A) and may affect progression to AIDS (vitamin A, B12, zinc).

Correction of deficiencies has been shown to affect symptoms and disease manifestation (AIDS dementia complex and B12; diarrhea, weight loss, and zinc), and certain micronutrients (vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, vitamins A, E, and specific B vitamins) have demonstrated a direct anti-viral effect.

In addition, many people with HIV/AIDS have low levels of vitamin D.  Vitamin D levels should be monitored as part of HIV/AIDS care routine. One can get most of vitamin D from sunlight.

Clearly, this illustrates the need for nutritional supplementation in HIV/AIDS disease. Conquer HIV/AIDS by taking 15 drops of HCI CMD per glass of water PLUS 10 tablets of CBF 3x a day before meals and drink SJ5 per glass of lukewarm water before bedtime and early morning.
