Hypothetical Responces to HIV

[TheRoof]

Of course even my HIV doctor says this. If you're positive. It wouldn't hurt to do fitness and eat healthy. That is obvious. As a hypothetical statement is there anything that is a natural anti-viral in a sense that we know of?

For example you hear about Green Tea

Epigallocatechin gallate -- binding to the CCR5 by blocking the gp120. Though this has only been done in vitro (test tubes) In a sense it's still a hypothesis.

 Of course there isn't any true data. I know that a cup of green tea isn't going to hurt me. Is there anything out there that also has been concluded as hypothesis?

Just sharing personal knowledge?




Obviously the best response to HIV is the antiviral therapy. No question about it.

Hullo The Roof 

      NOT EATTING SUGAR !


     Sugar  suppresses the immune system  !

   It is WISE   NOT to eat   " white "   food !

 Sugar   depletes  so many nutrients in the body !

   I am an addict , BUT i try NOT to eat anything with sugar !

   I eat  healthy  fresh food !

 If I want a cake I bake it !

  Do not drink  soda !  it will  do no good for you !

   sports drinks are deadly !

   I eat   BISON !

 Beef  gives me the the poops !

 Any unnatural  crap we eat  is going to play havoc with our systems !

   Do yourself a favor and google  sugar !  It is scary !  And they say  pot is bad ,   pish posh !


                                          eat well , The Mediterranean way of eatting is good !

Hey Roof,

To answer your question, there are some natural things, such as green tea, that may help control free radicals (i.e. are antioxidants) and, thereby, may help to maintain your overall health.

As for any natural products with antiviral capabilities that might control HIV, the answer is no.

The only proven treatment for HIV at this time is the use of antiretroviral therapy, i.e., the meds.

HUGS,

Mark
