Selenium Pills 'May Combat HIV' |
|
Selenium deficiencies have been recorded in HIV patients, and evidence suggests the mineral can improve the function of the immune system. Taking daily selenium supplements may block the build up of HIV in a patient's blood, research suggests. |

Selenium Supplementation Might Help AIDS in Africa |
|
Selenium is needed for the proper functioning of the immune system, and appears to be a key nutrient in counteracting the development of virulence and inhibiting HIV progression to AIDS. |

Vitamin C in the Treatment of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) |
|
Preliminary clinical evidence is that massive doses of ascorbate can suppress the symptoms of the disease and can markedly reduce the tendency for secondary infections. In combination with usual treatments for the secondary infections, large doses of ascorbate will often produce a clinical remission.

Manganese Blocks HIV Replication |
|
Scientists have found that simply increasing manganese in cells can halt HIV's unusual ability to process its genetic information backwards. |

Massive Sulfur Loss Seen On or Off Drugs |
|
With or without treatment, persons with HIV lose dangerous amounts of sulfur. |

Viricidal Effect Of Lactobacillus Acidophilus On HIV |
|
H202-generating L. acidophilus alone at a concentration of 101 CFU/ml was viricidal to HIV in lactate buffer pH 5.0 as measured by a decrease in viral replication in CEM cells.

Coconut Oil and Monolaurin's Potential as Cure for HIV/AIDS (pdf file) |
|
Conclusions from a study confirmed the anecdotal reports that coconut oil does have an anti-viral effect and can beneficially reduce the viral load of HIV patients. The positive anti-viral action was seen not only with the monoglyceride of lauric acid but with coconut oil itself. |

Maximizing HIV Medication Benefits with Natural Therapies |
|
"I have worked for almost 10 years with HIV-positive patients and have seen firsthand how natural therapies dramatically help manage side effects of medications, improve quality of life, protect the body from the chemical processing of the medications, and possibly prevent 'drug failure'. The following is a review of natural therapies for optimizing the benefits of antiretroviral drug treatment." |

Uses of Aloe Products, e.g. Acemannan, in the Treatment of Diseases Requiring Intervention of the Immune System for Cure |
|
Acemannan has been shown to be effective in treating a number of conditions where the principal mechanism of resolution or cure requires intervention by the patient's immune system. Acemannan has direct stimulatory effects on the immune system. In addition, acemannan directly interacts with virus or other infectious organisms, infected cells, and tumor cells to produce changes in their immunologically sensitive surface composition to alter the appearance of these agents and cause them to be recognized by the body's immune system and then destroyed. This document contains 51 examples of research and studies on acemannan for wide range of diseases including HIV (6,8).

The Therapeutic Potential of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) as an Immune Modulator in the Treatment of HIV/AIDS |
|
The research goal is to utilize ATP as part of an HIV eradication protocol given along-side traditional highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART). As a natural compound, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), applied to the outside of cells elicits profound changes in how a cell will function.
